Chapter 454 - The Rise Of The Dragon Clan
"What are the conditions?"
Fafnir's eyes twinkled as she heard Watson's words. She had mastered spiritual enchantment, just as Watson had said, in addition to fire and metal magic. She had used that to make Sebastian recall the past for a short period, causing him to be temporarily distracted so that she could flee.
"My request is simple. The dragons must accept my orders if I were to become the Dragon King."
"Watson, I can accommodate your request. Once you become the Dragon King, you will be able to dispatch the dragons on your own."
"No, I mean all dragons must obey my orders, including all Dragon Kings. Not only that, but you must believe in me as fervently as you believe in your Dragon God. Once the above two conditions are met, I will be able to help your dragons evolve."
Watson extended two fingers in front of Fafnir and waved them. Fafnir, relieved by Watson's words, became solemn again when Watson added the conditions.
"I must follow your orders, and I also must believe in you. Watson, do you really believe that you are God?" Rem could not help but grumble.
Despite his great power, King Landhar III signed an unequal contract with the Dragon Clan, increasing the number of Dragon Knights from ten to a hundred. Watson's power was not even comparable to King Landhar III. How could he, a mere genius, persuade the Dragon Clan to believe in him? Did he want to enslave the Dragon Clan?
"I do not consider myself to be a god. I am not that proud of myself. After all, the gods might not be able to accomplish what I have accomplished."
Watson's tone was calm, but his words instilled confidence in all the dragons.
How arrogant was he?
If Watson had said those words earlier, the dragons would have burst out laughing. However, they had seen Watson's various abilities.
"That is all I ask, Lady Fafnir. If you are unable to make a decision on your own, you may invite the other Dragon Kings. We can talk about it together! Of course, if you reject my proposal, just pretend I never said anything."
"Watson, before I answer your question, please allow me to ask one of my own. Do the conditions you mentioned apply to you or the Holy Dragon Kingdom?" Watson's words were proud, but Fafnir did not dismiss them outright; instead, she went into deep thought.
"Lady Fafnir, that is an excellent question. This treaty only serves me. In other words, your relationship with the Holy Dragon Kingdom will remain the same after signing the contract."I even hope you will not tell the King about this."
"Watson, have you considered signing a treaty with the Dragon Clan? It appears that the Holy Dragon Kingdom has a cunning human king like King Landhar III, and a genius like you, who are not inferior to him in terms of cunningness. In fact, you are better than him."
Fafnir paused for a moment with a strange expression before sighing. "Alright, Watson, I can agree to the two conditions you mentioned—signing a contract with the Dragon Clan and obtaining the Dragon Clan's faith. However, I can only guarantee that you will be accepted by my own clan. You will have to persuade the other Dragon Kings and their clans yourself."
"You do not have to be concerned about that, Lady Fafnir. I am confident in my ability to persuade the other Dragon Kings. It is fine as long as you can summon them."
Watson exuded confidence.
He had considered signing a contract with the other Dragon Clans, just as Fafnir had stated. His visit to the Dragon Lair was intended to forge a relationship with the Dragon Clans. He would also want to jeopardize the peace between the Dragon Clan and the Holy Dragon Kingdom if he could. Fafnir appeared to be greedy for his ability, and she had forced him to stay.
He was purposefully displaying such power in front of Fafnir and the dragons. He deliberately allowed Fafnir to remain. If Fafnir did not take the bait, he would make excuses or do more to force Fafnir to take the bait. Fortunately, Fafnir did not let him down. She even dispatched the Dragon Knights, giving him more room to show off his skills.
"The biggest problem for dragons is reproduction rate, followed by strength! Since ancient times, no matter what race, there has been a distinction between statuses when strength is not perfectly balanced. Even the dragons are not immune. Strong dragons have complete control over everything, whereas others can only slaughter weaker dragons. All I have to do is change the environment."
He could make the weaker dragons stronger by using the fusion system and make the strong dragons even stronger. As a result, many dragons would come to him privately, exchanging treasures for the chance to increase their strength.
If those dragons went to Fafnir, they would most certainly not report to him. After a while, if Fafnir's status were jeopardized because there were many Dragon Kings similar to Sebastian, she would not be able to stop such a situation, even if she wanted to. At the very least, the 90 dragons she had released into the kingdom had witnessed Watson's magical prowess. It would be difficult for Watson to stop them if they wanted to look for Watson to help them become stronger. She could not send help to the kingdom every day to guard them.
As a result, Watson's request seemed impolite. On the other hand, Fafnir had to pinch her nose and endure it to maintain her position and the dragons' progression. There was no other option.
After all, if she refused Watson's request, some dragons would still go to Watson, causing the entire clan to fall into chaos. She could have agreed to it. She would still be able to receive benefits from Watson. No one knew if she would continue to obey Watson's orders once she had grown stronger.
Fafnir did not realize how much Watson would have to pay to use the fusion system if they believed in him. She would not be so upbeat if she knew. However, she had no objections to Watson's proposal for the time being.
"Watson, you mean the dragons must obey your commands and have faith in you. I understand the former but am unsure about the latter," Fafnir asked Watson after she had made up her mind.
"It is simple. You only need to read the prayer that I will teach you and pray with the same pious attitude as you do when you pray to the Dragon God." Watson cracked a grin. He taught Fafnir a platinum-tier Priest's Prayer that came from the Einherjar's body. He was afraid that Fafnir would not be able to do it after he told her, so he said, "Remember, you must pray devoutly. Then and only then will it be effective. The more fervently you pray, the more resources I can give you. You will not be able to get anything from me if you cheat."
"Lady Fafnir, something is clearly wrong with that prayer. Let me give it a shot first."
Olena, who had been standing silently by Rem's side, suddenly walked past Fafnir and came before Watson, revealing a fearless spirit, just as Fafnir was debating whether she should try it or not.
"Come on, Watson, whatever the benefits or whatever the problems, I will help Lady Fafnir bear them."
"Olena, that moron. She is not helping Lady Fafnir; she is trying to take advantage," Rem grumbled to herself.
"Since Miss Olena wanted to try it, let's get started." Watson had a strange expression as well. He said that after looking at Fafnir as if asking for her opinion.
Olena began chanting the incantation according to what Watson had taught her without hesitation. She finished the entire prayer in record time. Then she closed her eyes and half-knelt in front of Watson and said, "I, Olena, am willing to believe in Watson, just as I believe in a god."
A bright light flashed across Olena's body as the sound of the prayer faded. At the same time, Watson felt as if a blue body had appeared in the sky above his soul's chaos-elemental magic source. It had transparent wings that rippled like water. It was a Long-tailed Dragon Soul Phantom. A large wave of pure faith power was transmitted into Watson's soul, imbuing his body with a tinge of divinity.
"That is the faith of the dragons. It is not like the faith I grew up with." Watson could not help but mutter in his heart as the sensation of absorbing faith became too comfortable.
The dragons were the most powerful of the races he had conquered. Compared to other races, the dragons were born with great strength, and they could also live for a long time. Their faith was so strong that even when they received the Blessing of the Gods or Demons, the Blackmoon Knights who had transformed into angels could never compare to them.
That was the confidence of a diamond-tier dragon. Watson's faith would be even stronger if he fused replicas of the ancient dragon race that existed in the Book of Wisdom into those dragons, allowing them to transform into Dragon Kings. It was estimated that the power of his abundant faith would be sufficient to build ten more divine kingdoms and raise his tier to the peak of diamond-tier.
Watson used his soul to reach the chaos-elemental magic source. His soul transferred a large number of memories to Olena's soul projection.
Whoosh!
Olena opened her eyes suddenly, and a ray of light flashed in her blue eyes. Her body exuded a powerful aura, prompting her to extend her right hand subconsciously. A divine kingdom flashing with seven-colored light appeared in the shape of a giant sword in her hand. The divine kingdom dashed into the darkness. It looked a lot like the giant weapon Sebastian had just used.
"That is a move known as the Divine Kingdom of the Sword. This should be Sword Saint Reid's ultimate skill. Did I really master it? Not only do I know about the Divine Kingdom of the Sword, but I also know a lot about potions."
Olena stretched out her other hand as she spoke, and a pitch-black sword appeared in her other hand. A pitch-black viscous liquid flowed outside the Divine Kingdom of the Sword, clinging to it like a spider web. When the pitch-black liquid came into contact with the ground, it immediately corroded it into pits, causing green smoke to rise.
"There are still many things I can't put into words. It appears to be archers' and priests' abilities, including many spells! A thousand different kinds of spells. Aside from the fire-elemental spells that I am proficient in, I can now cast another five elements. It turns out that faith in Watson can grow stronger over time. This is a feeling I never had when I believed in the Dragon God."
Olena was taken aback and could not help but exclaim. Behind her, the earth, fire, water, and dark elements all lit up, transforming into glowing balls of light with diamond-tier power.
Fafnir and Rem were taken aback by the scene. Fafnir was the first to notice what was going on. "It appears that believing in Watson can get me more power. Please allow me to put it to the test."
The dragons worshiped the Dragon God. They would never hold any other beliefs. That was not due to the dragon's firm opinion but rather to the dragon's noble and powerful nature. Other gods found it difficult to persuade them, except for the Dragon God, also a dragon. That point, however, was broken in front of Watson. There was no doubt that they were noble dragons, but Watson had overburdened them.
"Wait a minute, Lady Fafnir. It could very well be a trap to entice you to take the bait! I will do it on your behalf, as your considerate subordinate. Let's see if Watson's ability is genuine."
Rem had already spoken before Fafnir walked in front of Watson. Her words made Fafnir feel odd. Olena had said the same thing, but Rem still repeated them, implying that she also wanted to reap the benefits.
After all, they were her family members who had followed her for a long time. Fafnir nodded and said nothing else. "All right, Rem, you can assist me."
"Watson, I am not like Orena, who might not have noticed it if you used some tricks to deceive us. However, I will definitely see it. So, I advise you not to play tricks. Utilize all of your skills and let me know what tier you can raise me to," Rem spoke righteously as if she did not have selfish reasons for doing that. It was all for Fafnir's sake.
Watson nodded in response to those words. "All right, then, let us do as Miss Rem wishes."
The words flashed on the Book of Wisdom as he summoned it. Since he had seen something similar before, the words formed a huge dragon phantom in the air. Rem knew what Watson was going to do, so she kept her excitement in check and knelt on one knee, praying as Watson had taught her. Watson activated the fusion system at that moment, and more than ten dragon phantoms transformed into light, covering Rem's body.
[Congratulations, Master, on fusing with so many dragons. You have obtained a peak diamond-tier Divine Flower Dragon.]
[Peak diamond-tier dragon: Divine Flower Dragon]
[Abilities: Absolute Parasitism (the ability to release spores with life force, parasitize into other people's bodies, absorbing energy and controlling enemies), Divine Flower Cannon (the ability to use energy from the burning pollen to release a large-scale impact; those hit by the cannonball will be poisoned by the pollen), Absolute Growth (as long as energy is sufficient, you can freely control the growth of trees and allow any plant to grow on your body), Absolute Charm (able to make enemies obey your commands), Hallucinatory Dreams (able to create a reality-like illusion that can trap enemies).]
[Additional abilities: Kingdom of Flowers (creates a kingdom of flowers, each flower has the ability to create illusions and explosions), Four Seasons Mastery (has the ability to control the seasonal changes of certain areas).]
Watson's face paled after the fusion as he wiped the sweat from his brow. "Not bad, another peak diamond-tier dragon on par with a Dragon King. I have also gained Miss Rem's trust."
Rem was born a flower fairy dragon, a diamond-tier dragon clan. When Rem evolved into a divine flower dragon, it appeared that she had only gone from the diamond-tier to peak diamond-tier. However, there was a significant difference in the quality. Originally, the flower fairy dragon could only evolve into a diamond-tier dragon. On the other hand, Rem had the chance to become a starlight-tier dragon or even higher.
"Rem, how are you feeling? Do you feel uneasy?"
Fafnir asked after Watson fused Rem. She could tell Rem was different than before. Even though the previous Rem was also lovely and had long pink wavy hair—she was adorable. However, a petal-shaped mark appeared between Rem's brows at that precise moment. Her entire body emitted a bright divine radiance, which made her not dare to look at her for an extended period.
"Lady Fafnir, I have a feeling Olena is not lying. I am feeling fantastic right now. Not only did I gain a lot of knowledge, but my level has also increased."
Rem kept his excitement at bay as she spoke. Colorful pollen appeared on her skin, revolving around her and transforming into a layer of gauze. A decadent fragrance emitted from her body. The dragons that smelled it could not help but raise their heads. Their expressions became ecstatic. Even the Dragon Lair's trees and flowers began to flourish.
"Since the verification went smoothly, it is my turn now."
Fafnir could not help but be moved by Rem's physical changes. She walked toward Watson, reaching out her hand to tidy her clothes. Olena, who had just prayed to Watson, stood up from the ground at that precise moment. "Watson, you passed your knowledge to me, but you did not help me raise my level," she said as she approached Watson and grabbed his arm. "Don't tell me I'm no better than Rem. I was the first to put my faith in you, and I chose to let you build your strength. Isn't it unfair that you only did it for Rem?"
"Very well, Miss Olena. I will also help you in increasing your strength."
Olena's constant advances were too much for Watson to bear. He summoned a dragon clone and activated the Book of Wisdom to increase Olena's level.
[Congratulations, Master, for fusing so many dragons and obtaining a peak diamond-tier Sea Heart Flame Divine Dragon.]
[Peak diamond-tier dragon: Sea Heart Flame Divine Dragon]
[Abilities: Heart of the Sea (able to control seawater to seal and crush humans), Absolute Combustion (able to burn in water, once it burns, it will not be extinguished), Absolute Humidity (able to summon waves to cause large-scale damage), Ice and Fire Dual Storms (able to release both water and firestorms at the same time, causing explosive damage), Sea Chains (able to summon seawater to form chains to control enemies), Glass Body (able to liquefy one's body and be immune to all physical damage).]
[Additional abilities: the Burning Sea Kingdom (made up of fire and seawater, enemies who enter the kingdom will suffer double torture), the Stream of Consciousness (able to store one's memories and thoughts in the cells of the body, as long as one survives, none of the cells will die).]
Olena's body changed as a result of the fusion. Her long blue hair, for starters, gave the impression of swaying waves. Her skin became much more translucent than before. Bubbles could be seen gradually rising beneath her skin as if there was an ocean beneath her skin.
"Phew... I am finally done."
Watson appeared even more tired after fusing with Olena. His lips were cracked and dry. Fafnir could no longer keep it together at that point. "Watson, my family members have all tested, and there are no problems," she said as she approached Watson. "Now it's my turn."
Fafnir could not help but fantasize because her family members had all risen to the level of a peak diamond-tier Dragon King like her with Watson's help. What level would she reach with Watson's assistance? Will she reach the starlight tier and become a being comparable to the Dragon God?
"I'm sorry, Lady Fafnir. Just now, I was about to use up all the energy in my body because of Miss Olena and the others. I can't help you increase your strength today; I can only do it the next time."
"Watson, what did you say?" Fafnir widened her eyes as if she could not believe it. Watson could only repeat what he had just said. He did not need to use energy to use the fusion system, but he would need to expend a large amount of his energy to get the dragon clones. Upgrading the three-headed dragon to a Dragon King would expend all the energy in his body. If he wanted to upgrade Fafnir, who was originally the Dragon King, he would need to use even more energy.
"Watson, there is a limit to how much strength you can give the dragons? Why didn't you say so earlier? Seeing how easily you turned Sebastian into a dragon comparable to a Dragon King, I thought there was no limit to how much strength you can give us." Rem snorted.
Watson could only smile wryly. "Miss Rem, do you think such a thing is possible? Anyone who wants power has to pay the price. There's no free lunch in this world. Don't you think it would be too wonderful if we could turn all the dragons into Dragon Kings so easily?"
"Watson, that's what you meant when you wanted to sign the contract with us in the beginning. But since you helped me to become a Dragon King, I won't pursue the matter anymore! I did not expect that you would lose your power after helping me and Olena to become stronger. If I had known earlier, I would not have let you help Olena. Instead, I would have let Lady Fafnir become stronger."
"Rem, what are you talking about? Watson helped me first. If someone has to give up their place, then it must be you. You took Lady Fafnir's chance to become stronger today." Olena retorted without showing any weakness.
"Both of you, stop arguing. You are both responsible for this situation. If I didn't allow you to try it first, how would I lose my turn? I want to strangle you two to your deaths."
"Lady Fafnir, don't! Help!"
"It's my fault."
Fafnir's face was full of resentment as she spoke fiercely. She went behind Rem and Olena and grabbed the two girls with each hand, causing them to beg for mercy in panic.
"Lady Fafnir, I can't increase your strength because I am exhausted. However, if you can provide me with a potion to recover my strength, I can continue to help you increase your strength." Watson was afraid that Fafnir would use too much strength and break the necks of the two dragons that he had fused. It would have been a terrible loss.
"Why didn't you say so earlier? There aren't many other things in the Dragon Lair, but we have many treasures! I'll go and find them for you now."
Fafnir threw Rem and Olena onto the ground, turned around, and disappeared. In a short while, Fafnir returned with a large number of medicinal herbs in her hands.
"These herbs are treasures that grow in the lair. Some of them were collected by the dragons. Most of them are gold-tier herbs, and a small number of them are platinum-tier. Do you think they are enough?"
Watson at the herbs; there were at least hundreds of herbs on the ground. He was familiar with some of them, such as the Seven Treasures Glazed Ginseng, and some of them he had never seen before. However, the Einherjar's body contained a large amount of knowledge regarding herbs. In addition to the memories left behind by the God of Poison, he understood what those herbs were for.
"Lady Fafnir, that herb is the heart of the demonic deep-sea dragon that I painstakingly collected. That is a platinum-tier herb. Why did you bring it here?" Olena glanced at the herb and suddenly saw a heart the size of a house; there were pitch-black blood vessels wrapped around it. The heart, which had been dug out from a dragon's body, was still beating. It began to wail in pain.
"That medicinal herb is the divine blood sunflower that I collected. It is also a platinum-tier medicinal herb. It is said that the sunflower grew ten thousand years ago and has been tainted with the blood of mythical creatures. Therefore, it can bloom indefinitely. It is the main ingredient that I use to make beauty potions. I am usually reluctant to use it." Rem also recognized some of her medicinal herbs, causing her to show a pained expression.
"You just became stronger with Watson's help. Now that Watson needs to recover, you should not be stingy. This is how we should treat our guests right?" Fafnir said with a fake smile.
"At least remove the divine blood sunflower. That flower is only useful for beauty. It won't have any effect on Watson's recovery," Rem muttered softly. After noticing Fafnir's cold glare, she decided to keep quiet.
"Thank you, Lady Fafnir. These medicinal herbs are enough for me to recover my strength. I can also develop a potion that can help the Dragon Clan improve their reproduction rate."
Watson nodded at Fafnir and reached to activate the fusion system on the medicinal herbs in front of him.
[Congratulations, Master, for fusing a large number of medicinal herbs. You have obtained a diamond-tier potion, Super Reproductive Potion.]
[Congratulations, Master, for fusing a large number of medicinal herbs. You have obtained a diamond-tier potion, Super Vitality Recovery Potion.]
[Diamond-tier Potion: Super Reproductive Potion]
[Effect: upon consumption, the reproductive ability will increase by a thousand times. At the same time, the offspring will inherit part of their parents' abilities and possess diamond-tier strength.]
[Additional effect: it can also be used when mixed with water. The effect will be reduced by 100 times.]
[Diamond-tier Potion: Super Vitality Recovery Potion]
[Effect: after consumption, the energy in the body will be fully recovered and maintained in a full state for an entire day. It is effective against elites below the starlight tier.]
Following the fusion, two types of potions appeared in Watson's hands. One was a dark green potion that was filled with the aura of life. Balls of light in the shape of tadpoles moved in the potion, like little elves that symbolized life. The other potion was also dark green, but it was slightly different. The potion was full of bubbles and looked like a volcano erupting. It looked powerful, and one could see the color of blood in it.
"Watson, what are those in your hands?"
As Watson waved his hand, the potion on the ground disappeared and turned into two similar but completely different potions.
"That is the reproduction potion that I promised you. It can be mixed into water, allowing the dragons to increase their reproductive ability by ten times after taking it. It also allows the offspring to have more powerful strength. If you drink the potion as is, it can increase your reproductive ability by a thousand times. At the same time, your offspring will be diamond-tier."
Watson handed the first potion to Fafnir as he looked at her. "As for how to use that potion, that will depend on you. As for the second potion, it's a recovery potion. As long as I drink, my strength will remain in a full state. In other words, my strength will remain full for an entire day. As long as I'm fast enough, it's not impossible for me to raise the strength of all the dragons here."
What?
"Watson, aren't the effects of the potions you created too strong? What level are these potions?"
"They're both diamond-tier potions."
"Diamond-tier!"
Fafnir gasped. She thought she had forced Watson into signing a treaty with her. However, after seeing Olena and Rem become stronger, she was shaken, especially when she saw the potions.
The medicinal herbs that she had brought were only a fraction of her collection, and there were thousands of dragons there. Usually, those medicinal herbs could only be used by dragons like Rem to make cosmetic potions and other trash, but those medicinal herbs could play a real role in Watson's hands. A potion that could allow a diamond-tier elite to maintain their energy all day long, allowing them to release attacks for a day continuously; what kind of concept was that?
Watson's reproductive potion was already very heaven-defying. It could increase their reproduction rate by a thousand times. If a dragon could only give birth to a youngling in a hundred years, there would be a thousand dragon younglings after consuming that potion. Furthermore, those younglings would have diamond-tier abilities. What kind of concept was that?
The two potions that Watson had developed were even more attractive to Fafnir than directly increasing the strength of her fellow dragons. They could ensure the Dragon Clan's future with those two potions. They would be even more powerful if Watson had access to more medicinal herbs. It was simply unimaginable.
After visiting the Holy Dragon Kingdom, Fafnir had always been shocked by the powerful strength displayed by the Holy Dragon Kingdom. The sudden rise of the human kingdom had worried her. However, she realized that she did not need to worry at all; the reason the Holy Dragon Kingdom could become so powerful was not because of King Landhar III but because of Watson.
Watson was a genius who could change a kingdom, or even the entire world, by himself. At that moment, Fafnir firmly believed that.
She took a deep breath and suppressed the excitement in her heart; Fafnir said, "Watson, that fertility potion, I'll try it on the dragons later. Right now, there are pregnant dragons in the lair! As for the other potion that you've developed, you can use it. Then, you can raise the strength of all the dragons in the lair."
"No problem."
So, Watson took the potion and quickly recovered all his strength. He began to fuse and transform every dragon in the Dragon Lair.
After a short while, the entire Dragon Lair was in an uproar.
"I've advanced to the peak of the diamond tier. Originally, I was only a platinum-tier dragon, but now, I have the strength of a Dragon King!"
"Don't shout. Who here doesn't have the strength of a Dragon King? It's a pity some of us had left with the Dragon Knights. If they knew that we had advanced to a level comparable to the Dragon Kings, they would probably bang their heads against the wall in regret."
"Well, it's their fault for not having a vision. Dragon Knight of the Holy Dragon Kingdom? They are nothing compared to Young Master Watson. When Young Master Watson arrived, I noticed that he was different from the others! Although he looks like a human, he is clearly a higher-tier life form completely different from humans. It is not too bad that we didn't believe in him."
"Keep bragging. If you could tell that Young Master Watson is extraordinary the first time you met him, you would have already gone up and fussed over him! However, I do agree with one of your points. Young Master Watson is different from other ordinary humans, indeed. How could ordinary humans have the ability to turn a platinum-tier dragon into a Dragon King?"
The lair was filled with compliments and praises for Watson. Regardless of whether it was because they instinctively treated Watson as their master after the fusion or because they wanted to protect the dignity of the dragon race, Watson had become an existence comparable to a god in the eyes of the dragons at that moment.
While the dragons praised Watson, he was standing on the rock wall at the cave entrance. Inside the cave, there was a dragon; its entire body was red. The dragon's belly looked a little swollen, and it was lying lazily on the ground. It looked like it had been pregnant for a long time.
Besides the Golden Flash and Charcoal, Fafnir was also standing with Watson.
At that moment, Fafnir, the Golden Flash, and Charcoal were all fused by Watson with the ancient dragon lifeforms copied from the Book of Wisdom. The Golden Flash and Charcoal had evolved into the Diamond Star Dragon and the Death Omen Star Dragon, respectively. They had become peak diamond-tier dragons with strength comparable to a Dragon King.
Meanwhile, Fafnir had also completed her evolution. Originally, Fafnir was a peak diamond-tier fire dragon. After the fusion, her strength had evolved to starlight-tier, becoming the Sun Divine Dragon.
At that moment, Fafnir was already almost a Dragon God. After the fusion, the light emitted from Fafnir's body had even suppressed the sun in the sky, turning the entire Dragon Lair into ashes. Fortunately, Fafnir had quickly suppressed the power in her body, containing it to the peak of the diamond tier. That was why the lair was not destroyed in an instant.
At the same time, after Fafnir had upgraded to starlight-tier, a repulsive force suddenly emerged as if it wanted to expel Fafnir out of the world. Fortunately, Watson had managed to react in time. He separated a poison that could weaken his strength and injected it into Fafnir's body. Only then did the repulsive feeling disappear.
However, according to Fafnir, that was only temporary. She knew that she did not have much time left in the world. It would not have been more than ten years or even shorter.
Ten years. That was a very short time for a dragon like Fafnir.
After witnessing the Fafnir's evolution to starlight-tier, Watson finally understood why ancient starlight-tier elites would tear the world apart in battle. At the same time, he also understood why the world would reject starlight-tier elites—they were too powerful. With a single move, they could break through the world's barrier. The world only wanted to protect itself out of instinct.
Unless they were like Sidi, who had taken over someone else's body, or Nia, who was the reincarnation of the Child of God with a lower level body, they would not be able to stand in that world.
Watson had always upgraded buildings or items to starlight-tier. That was the first time he had upgraded a person to starlight-tier. He realized that the two were completely different; whether it was items at the peak of the starlight tier or just the starlight tier, they would not be rejected by the world. After all, no matter how powerful an item was, if no one used it, it would not cause damage. However, living beings were different. Even though it was a pity that Fafnir would have to leave that world in ten years, it was enough for her.
"Understanding the situation with Fafnir's upgrade to starlight-tier will be of great help to me when I upgrade to starlight-tier in the future," Watson muttered to himself.
Then, he looked at the pregnant dragon on the ground in the cave. "However, I will need at least a few years to advance to starlight-tier.. The most important thing now is to give that dragon a potion that can increase her reproductive ability and see the effect."
