I told you to plant peas, and you summon Mordekaiser?

Although Soren couldn't believe it, Chen Yang's mind was in turmoil.

He had long suspected that the power of the runes could not possibly be so limited.

You must know that the legendary runes are the primordial power of a world, and any one of them can destroy the world.

However, Corpse Monkey and Fiddlesticks each obtained half of the rune, and although their power became beyond imagination, it did not reach the point of destroying the world.

Now that Edgar has spoken up, everything is clear to Chen Yang.

The 'corpse plague' power possessed by these plants is merely an imprint of the original rune.

According to Edgar, the runic power possessed by these plants is less than one percent of the original power.

Seeing Soren's incredulous expression, Chen Yang's gaze darkened slightly, and he said in a low voice, "What he said is true."

These words left Sauron speechless.

Chen Yang continued, "I know the true name of this power."

He paused, his gaze deepening. "The plague you speak of is runes. And the power of runes—"

He took a deep breath, his eyes filled with obvious apprehension. "That is a power that can create worlds, and it can also destroy them."

These words struck Sauron like a hammer blow, leaving him speechless for a moment.

He looked at Chen Yang, then at Edgar beside him. Although doubts remained on his face, a hint of wavering appeared in his eyes: "Is it really that terrible?"

Edgar looked at Chen Yang with a hint of approval; he hadn't expected Chen Yang to know so much about this power.

“That’s right, the source of this power lies beneath that tower.”

Edgar pointed to the Tower of Eternity, Etathini.

At this moment, Isabella's gaze turned solemn. She slowly spoke, "That tower is not so simple. If your deductions are correct, the source of the plague truly resides within the tower, and possesses such terrifying power..."

She paused, a hint of unease in her voice, "Then, those four demon gods fighting in the royal city might not be the most terrifying beings."

The Sauron were stunned: "Is there anything more terrifying than them?"

Isabella took a deep breath and said, "Do you know that the Origin People possess five Titan Plants?"

“I’ve only heard of four.” Soren frowned slightly as he recalled, “The four military regions each have a Titan plant in charge.”

Isabella nodded: "That's right, but there's one more, the fifth Titan Plant, whose existence has never been publicly mentioned."

"Right in the royal city?"

Chen Yang couldn't help but ask, his tone revealing a hint of surprise.

Isabella's gaze was sharp as she slowly said, "That's right. The fifth Titan Plant is located beneath the Tower of Eternity."

"Beneath the Tower of Eternity?" Chen Yang recalled the outline of that colossal tower in his mind, a sense of unease rising in his heart. "Why hasn't it made a move yet?"

Isabella paused for a moment, then swallowed and continued, "That Titan plant has been dormant for over three hundred years."

"Never appeared in the world. If the origin of the zombie plague is indeed in the Tower of Eternity, then it is undoubtedly the closest existence to the origin of the zombie plague. More than three hundred years of dormancy, coupled with the infection of the zombie plague... its strength can no longer be estimated by common sense."

Chen Yang felt a chill run down his spine upon hearing this.

He had a vague feeling that the real crisis in the world might be far from over.

Isabella's gaze shifted, her voice low: "Before I left, the council, together with me, had already granted permission to activate the Titan creature. That Titan plant is probably about to awaken."

"What?" Soren's expression changed. "Do you know what that is?"

Isabella bit her lower lip and said slowly, "According to historical records, three hundred years ago, its name was a giant fire dragon grass."

"But after three hundred years, no one can guarantee what kind of creatures are beneath the Tower of Eternity."

The air seemed to freeze for a moment after those words were spoken.

Just then, a strange and heavy wave suddenly came from underground, as if an invisible hand had gripped everyone's hearts.

"Boom-"

A tremendous heartbeat resounded from deep underground, causing the city walls to tremble slightly.

The voice was deep and powerful, like a signal that a giant beast was about to awaken from its slumber.

"Boom-thump-"

Each heartbeat felt heavier.

On the ground, Aatrox, who had been pressing Mordekaiser, also took a few steps back, creating distance between himself and Mordekaiser, and turned to look in the direction of the Tower of Eternity.

The stone monkey and Federico were evenly matched. At this moment, the stone monkey retreated to the western part of the royal city, while the strange being in the sky retreated to the eastern part of the royal city.

The gaze of all living things was drawn to the colossal tower reaching to the heavens in the far north.

With a deafening roar, the top of the Tower of Eternity shattered.

Immediately afterwards, the lower part of the Eternal Tower exploded, as if the entire tower had been lifted up from the bottom by something.

A colossal black flame dragon soared into the sky, its pitch-black flames sweeping across the land like a raging tide, staining half the sky crimson.

The dragon was hundreds of meters long, its body shrouded in rolling black flames, and when its wings were spread, it seemed to cover the entire sky.

“That is…” Chen Yang’s pupils contracted slightly, and his palms were covered in cold sweat.

The dragon circled once in the air, letting out a deafening roar that soared into the sky, causing the entire royal city to tremble in its fury.

Right between the dragon's brows, a rune shimmering with silver light appeared, its cold radiance seeming to proclaim its power to the world.

The power of the runes carried boundless pressure.

"Is this fire dragon grass? Does fire dragon grass look like this?" Sauron couldn't help but curse when he saw the dragon's appearance.

The power of that hundred-meter-long dragon was simply astonishing.

Edgar looked up at the dragon, his face deathly pale, and murmured, "It...it has fully awakened."

The scene exceeded everyone's expectations.

No one could have imagined that this fire dragon grass, which had been secretly lying dormant beneath the Tower of Eternity for three hundred years, would actually merge with the rune.

“No rush.” Edgar stepped forward. “As long as this dragon doesn’t use the power of runes, we still have a chance.”

The next moment, the black flame dragon roared in the air, and even the terrifying entity that blotted out the sky dimmed a little.

The stone monkey, as if disturbed by some force, knelt down on the ground.

Isabella cried out, "He has affected other creatures with the power of the plague!"

Aatrox on the surface was also suppressed to some extent, and he absorbed a certain amount of the plague while he was slaughtering.

The Sword Demon grunted and knelt on one knee.

Mordekaiser, mace in hand, gazed at the dragon in the sky, the ghostly flames within his helmet flickering erratically.

He was the only one who did not absorb the power of the plague.

The ninth-tier plants that were pulled into the underworld at that time were all ninth-tier plants without the power of the zombie plague. All plants with the power of the zombie plague were also unaffected by his cycle of death.

Mordekaiser, in a way, benefited from the misfortune and became the only one who was unaffected.
