Know Yourself in the Dragon World

Nidhogg's dragon body had turned into a shiny dragon bone cross. Under Han Qiu's gaze, the back of the dragon body cracked.

The punitive fire of "Crime and Punishment" was slowly extinguished, and a pair of black membrane wings emerged from the crack and gradually spread out.

The process was extremely slow. If there wasn't this strange suppression, Lu Mingfei could have led people to kill the things that were about to appear thousands of times.

But the dragon blood in everyone's body was losing its corresponding power. Even Lu Mingze and Lu Mingfei were affected, though they still had some dragon-like characteristics.

Dong...Caesar knelt down in the distance.

Immediately afterwards, Angers who was nearby also knelt down on the ground. One could see his unwillingness and anger, but some gaps could not be bridged by anger.

The creatures he had to face were more terrifying than anything Menek Cassel had ever faced.

After Ange, Finkel and others knelt down one after another.

The story ends with Lu Mingfei, leaving only Han Qiu standing alone, dragging his tired and weak body to witness the true fear.

The black membrane wings stretched out completely, and the scepter hanging high in the sky received some kind of command and flew straight into the monster's hand.

A pitch-black monster emerged from Nidhogg's dragon body. It was still a dragon, a black dragon, a humanoid dragon.

It was still Nidhogg. After giving up his dragon body, Nidhogg appeared in dragon form, and his majesty was even greater than that of the dragon body.

Han Qiu didn't feel the domain because it covered the entire space.

The branches of the World Tree are intertwined and cover the sky, and the same is true for Nidhogg's domain.

"Perfect." Nidhogg held the scepter, and the invisible mental shock directly crushed Caesar's will.

If anyone was to blame, it was Caesar the Great who was too close to the dragon and too weak. A thought from the Black Emperor caused his vision to blur, and the golden light in his pupils slowly went out.

"Do you have any strength left? God." Nidhogg glanced at Han Qiu with a smile.

Han Qiu looked at Nidhogg and felt that he had seen this face somewhere. Even though it was covered with black scales, he still felt familiar.

A face that couldn't be more ordinary, slightly fat, a bit honest but with the vicissitudes of a middle-aged man.

"You're good at hiding it." Han Qiu said with a wry smile.

"Hide?" Nidhogg's dragon wings trembled, and he appeared in front of Han Qiu in an instant. "If I don't hide, how can I consume your strength? Besides, I also need time to digest the cause and effect of the world tree and restore myself. You have exhausted your own cause and effect, and the remaining cause and effect have nothing to do with you."

"Coward." Han Qiu uttered this word.

His last stubbornness was only in his words.

"Isn't it the same for you? If I don't die and enter the cocoon, will you appear?" Nidhogg reached out to Han Qiu, "I have been looking for you for many years."

"Your hands are so black and ugly." Han Qiu took a deep breath and waited for the Black Emperor's execution.

But the hand passed him and went towards the World Tree behind him.

With a bang, Nidhogg's fist landed on the trunk of the World Tree.

The aroused spiritual turmoil made Han Qiu dazed again, while the others spat out blood.

"I have no interest in killing you. Killing you would be counterproductive. How about leaving a desolate world for you and letting this world become the key to the passage?" Nidhogg asked, raising his hand and punching again.

"I don't understand what you are saying." Han Qiu really wanted to kill Nidhogg with one blow.

Such a close distance, what a good opportunity... But Han Qiu didn't even have the strength to raise his hand. The continuous turbulence of mental elements had made his body completely stiff.

Even if he still had the ability to move, he would not be able to cause any effective damage to Nidhogg.

Absorbing the field that suppressed his bloodline had turned him into an ordinary person, and the remaining causal power was not enough to even spy on the outside world.

What could he do? He could do nothing.

He could only watch and allow Nidhogg to humiliate him.

If there is still the power of cause and effect, he can reactivate his due strength and return to the state that a king should be in.

What can I do? I can't do anything about the current predicament.

The absorbed area became a cage, and Han Qiu no longer had the key to open the cage.

If... I could touch the authority that belongs to Nidhogg and complete the missing part of my Word Spirit Atlas, I should be able to break out of the cage.

So many ifs, but just ifs.

Han Qiu gradually accepted his fate and decided to just let it go. However, he felt a little unwilling to accept the fact that it was clearly nearing the end.

There are so many beautiful sights in the world that there is no time to take in all of them.

What would happen if I couldn't go back? Would I die here?

A little curious... curious.

Nidhogg finally stopped bombarding the World Tree. This tree of unknown origin and function was so lush that its exposed thick roots were buried back into the soil.

When spring comes, everything grows on the dry ground.

Nidhogg represents destruction, so why let this place be revitalized?

Han Qiu was more and more confused, and couldn't help asking: "Can you tell me what happened?"

"This tone is not how you speak to an enemy." Nidhogg loosened his grip on the scepter.

Han Qiu turned around, his back to Nidhogg. Anyway, it was already like this, how dangerous could it be? It would be better to witness it.

Nidhogg's previous series of punches left deep grooves on the trunk of the World Tree, into which the golden scepter could fit.

"In your eyes, I'm already a dead man. Does it matter whether we're enemies or not?" As the only person who can stand shoulder to shoulder with Nidhogg, Han Qiu's surrender means the world's surrender.

The world has almost been lost. In the outside world that Han Qiu cannot see, countless Deadpools and subspecies are falling into further madness.

"What do you want to know?" Nidhogg asked.

"Is this strange realm the influence of the 'Emperor'?"

"Yes." Nidhogg didn't expect Han Qiu to ask such a stupid question, "What else do you think it would be?"

"The Son and the Holy Spirit should not be influenced by the 'Emperor'."

"It is the World Tree that affects both of them." Nidhogg found it a little funny: "Is that your problem?"

"It's just one of the questions." Han Qiu was about to ask the next question when Nidhogg grabbed his neck.

The cool feeling of the scales made him shiver.

"You only have time for one question and the passage will open." Nidhogg reminded.

"Tell me about the World Tree." Han Qiu said dejectedly, "Tell me about the Throne."

"What you want to ask is the connection between the two worlds, right? What you actually want to ask is yourself. There is nothing to be embarrassed about asking. This is my respect for you, and after the respect comes my anger." Nidhogg said.

Han Qiu nodded. "I always feel like I will die in obscurity. I don't want to die in obscurity."

The scepter and the world tree merged into one, and the leafy tree began to change again. The branches that covered the sky curled up, and the light of vitality lingered.
