Chapter 440: Controlling Water and Wind, the Way of the Dragon King
“I don’t know what Odin’s reincarnation is doing now. As an intelligent being, his current situation should be a hundred times more comfortable than mine.”
The dragon snake, tearing flesh with big mouthfuls, not wanting to let go of even a single drop of flowing blood, could not help but imagine the comfortable life of its companions.
The suffering and pain he was enduring now was the greatest in his life. He had never suffered such pain in his entire life. But even so, he could not give up and had to grit his teeth and hold on.
Life was hard, so naturally he couldn’t help but envy Odin’s reincarnation, who was most likely enjoying a good life now. Even though he was a slave, he had the vision and courage of a God King, so it would be easy for him to break the impasse.
Noah couldn’t think of anything that could trap a God-King, just a slave’s identity and a weak body, but so what?
Noah felt that even if it was him who took over, he could still kill indiscriminately with his slave title and identity. Now, with the body of a water snake, he had become a small overlord of the water. As a dignified God King, he would surely be even stronger.
“As expected of you, you are the God King, the protagonist of the era, favored by destiny. Your luck is just better than mine!”
After sighing, Noah suppressed the many distracting thoughts in his mind. No matter how good the God King’s current situation was, he couldn’t help him in a short time.
Their reincarnations might not be in the same continent, so it would be troublesome to gather them together. For the time being, they can stop counting on each other. The right thing to do is to make themselves stronger first.
“It’s time to prepare for the second evolution!”
After eating and drinking, Noah felt the blood and essence accumulated in his dragon snake body, made a silent estimate, and felt slightly satisfied.
However, before the evolution and transformation, his body length reached more than five meters due to crazy hunting and growth day and night, making him a veritable giant snake. But he did not start the transformation. Before this evolution, he wanted to eliminate all the creatures around him that posed a threat to him.
Thus, a bloody storm broke out again in this not-so-big body of water. Noah controlled the body of a dragon and snake, which was still not powerful and was within the realm of mortal creatures, and began to massacre all the predators in this body of water.
This time the slaughter was not for the purpose of hunting, but just to eliminate the threat. After all the creatures in the range of activity that he determined to be threatening were slaughtered, Noah began to evolve again.
In the initial stage of primitive accumulation, any waste was extremely shameful, but Noah never wasted, even though his body kept telling him that he was full.
However, Noah still used the breathing and exhalation techniques tailored for this body, constantly transforming the flesh and blood he swallowed into his stomach into blood essence, storing it between his bones and flesh, reserved for transformation.
After Noah had eaten everything without leaving any residue, his body had been swollen and rounded from eating so much that he could hardly swim. By the time Noah crawled to the underwater cave he was looking for in an area with lush aquatic plants, the broken moon was almost completely obscured.
This is a celestial phenomenon unique to the lower continent. At certain times during the day and night, the light from the stars and the moon will be completely obscured by the movement and operation of the upper continent, and the continent will fall into complete darkness.
However, after countless tens of thousands of years of evolution, the environment here has long evolved ways to cope with these dark times.
When darkness fell, the night view of the lower continent was the most magnificent and shocking. A dark purple light was seen emitting from the roots and veins of the plants, with fireflies dancing in the air, embellishing the scenery. Suddenly, a colorful and splendid night world appeared before Noah’s eyes.
However, Noah had already seen such beautiful scenery and was a little tired of it. It could not attract Noah at all at this moment. His attention was now focused on his body.
The abundant blood and energy that was so thick that it was about to gush out, under Noah’s control, flowed through the veins along the predetermined trajectory, merged into the flesh, blood, tendons and bones, and at the same time rushed into the meridians that did not exist.
This is something that is absolutely impossible for ordinary mortals to do. From nothing, they create flesh and blood tissues and organs that should not exist, causing the blood to leap and forcibly push the level of life up.
Hiss~roar——
This was an extremely tragic process. The dragon snake’s tendons, bones, flesh and blood were all torn apart. Even the bones and flesh were separated, and new flesh and blood grew in between to fill them.
This monster, which had never appeared in the swamp before, had its flesh and blood constantly torn apart, reorganized and regenerated, making its body appear even larger, and a fierce aura suddenly spread out.
It was during this process that the symmetrical bulges on both sides of the snake’s cloaca gradually bulged out and became more and more swollen, until finally, there was a sound as if cloth was being torn.
Tear ~
Two bloody hind claws were torn out from it. The dragon snake, which originally looked a little weird, suddenly had a round and flawless feeling. The winding and slender body and the grown limbs seemed much more coordinated, and no longer had the weird feeling that violated logic.
“It’s done!”
Although his head was still bald and he had not grown a pair of horns yet, and the scales on his body were still thin and delicate, Noah was already satisfied at this moment.
He opened his mouth and spit out a wisp of water vapor, which brought a thin stream of water that wrapped around his body, clearing away all the blood and broken scales left behind when his body was transformed, revealing a body full of shiny gray-black scales.
Gululu~
Noah, who had completed the second evolution, was exhausted both physically and mentally. However, now was not the time to rest, because the intense feeling of hunger was overwhelming him like a tidal wave, overwhelming his will.
Noah’s will would naturally not be suppressed by mere physiological instincts. He first admired his current posture at the water surface below him.
After completing the transformation, his body had leaped into a seven-meter-long behemoth. In this lake, there was no creature that could fight him. He had become the top predator here.
Of course, the most important thing is his posture at this moment. He is no longer floating on the water, but riding the water vapor and mist, hanging low above the water.
By manipulating the power of water, he achieved an effect similar to flying. Although he relied on the terrain and environment, once he was out of the environment, Noah would have to do whatever he did. But this was enough to prove that Noah’s life form at this moment had completed the most essential transformation.
He has transformed from an ordinary creature into an extraordinary being and passed the most critical stage, and this process took him only seven days.
The body created by Noah’s split soul is similar to the original body in shape, but there are more differences. It is not just the lack of the dragon horns that form a crown, and the incomparably brilliant dragon wings that are brighter and more blazing than the sun.
More importantly, the attributes are different. Noah’s original body is dominated by fire and symbolized by the sun, but at this moment, Noah’s snake body controls water and manipulates the wind.
Despite these differences, Noah had no intention of changing his course and he planned to continue along this path.
Since they are split souls and different races, they naturally have to experience different paths, which may be of some help and assistance to him in becoming the Dragon King. “It’s time to leave!”
The current environment no longer poses a threat to him. With his second evolution, it is impossible for this swamp to breed any challenger who can put pressure on him. It is very safe.
But Noah did not forget the purpose of casting his soul. If he stayed in the water, he would not be able to develop his faith, let alone evolve three times, as he could not accumulate them at all.
Without saying too much, given his current size, it won’t be long before he eats up all the fish in the pond, leaving not even a single fish fry.
So, after circling for a while, Noah left this body of water that was already very familiar to him and entered a larger lake with wider and deeper waters.
When entering the wider waters, Noah, who had just arrived, was immediately attacked by a group of monsters with arms and legs and ugly fish heads.
Fishman!
A subspecies of murloc that is similar to the Sahuagin and Kuo-Toa, but has some differences.
It has to be said that the murlocs are a species with extremely strong vitality and terrifying adaptability. It seems that they can be seen in any dimension, even in this space-time world that has been closed for who knows how many tens of thousands of years.
Noah looked at the group of fishmen in front of him, with hesitation and thought in his eyes.
The crudely made weapons were enough to show that these fishmen possessed considerable intelligence and had developed quite rudimentary manufacturing techniques. Judging from their offensive formations, they also knew some hunting skills, which showed that these fishmen possessed the foundation for developing civilization.
Wisdom and civilization are the foundations of developing faith. Therefore, when faced with the hostility and attacks from the fishmen, Noah did not fight back immediately, but hesitated for a moment.
“Ah, I still can’t stand you guys, you’re so ugly!”
When the first bone spear flew in front of him and was slapped away by his claws, Noah sighed and made the final decision.
“There’s nothing we can do. If you want to blame someone, blame yourselves!”
After the words fell, the hungry dragon snake flew low over the water. Although its body looked huge, it nimbly dodged the attack launched by the fishman and went straight for the shaman who was holding a fishbone staff and was about to cast some kind of spell-like ability.
Cutting open the belly, Noah recalled the killing or hunting skills developed by a branch of the metal dragon clan against the murlocs.
Those bronze dragons, who are extremely loyal to the taste of murloc flesh, can use their dragon claws to accurately cut open the bodies of the fishermen while slaughtering them, and pick out the fish belly with the smoothest texture and taste.
Now, Noah reproduced such killing, or feeding skills. When Noah passed by several fishmen, those mutilated fishmen fell into the water one after another, and in Noah’s dragon claws, there were several delicious fish bellies with beautiful snowflake-shaped flesh and blood textures.
“Mmm, it tastes really good!”
Noah threw the fish belly into his mouth. After chewing it for a while, his eyes suddenly lit up. He finally tasted the delicious taste that the bronze dragon had mentioned.
Different dragon tribes have different taste requirements for food. For example, bronze dragons love the flesh and blood of sahuagin, while gold dragons like to taste pearls.
It’s not that Noah had never tasted the flesh and blood of mermen before, but he felt that, although the flesh and blood of mermen was fresh and tender, it had a lingering fishy smell and could not be called a delicacy.
Now it seems that the reason why he couldn’t taste the flesh and blood of the Shahua merman and the sweet and delicious taste of the bronze dragon was perhaps because it was a true fire dragon. Now, because his attributes are the same as those of the bronze dragon, he can also taste it.
“No wonder the Bronze Dragon Clan doesn’t recognize you as an intelligent species. I don’t recognize you either now!”
After tasting the delicious flesh and blood of the mermen, Noah gave up his plan to spread and establish faith among the mermen group. Even if there was no influence of taste, the faith of the mermen needed to be carefully considered.
The greatest achievement of this group of guys in history was to surrender a weak divine power that survived for less than ten days.
Therefore, there is no need to have too high expectations for this kind of low-level stuff. It is better to look for other intelligent races. Noah does not believe that the mermen are the only final survivors of the war of gods.
If they were really the only surviving intelligent species, they would have already taken off just by picking up the scraps and relics of the gods. Why would they have to use a bunch of bone products to kill beings whose true nature they could not recognize?
……
“Andes, I am your master. I picked you up and raised you. I fed you the most delicious food and dressed you in the best clothes. I gave you life and everything you have now. You should obey me. How dare you disobey my orders?”
A voice filled with anger and unspeakable fear echoed in the secret room filled with lewd atmosphere. The plump lady, whose body was covered only by a layer of gauze, looked at the young man standing in the middle of a pool of blood with shock and anger.
This was her favorite boy, the one she favored and played with the most among all her collections. Although ten days ago, she and her girlfriends played a little too much, causing him to faint, and even the doctor issued a not very optimistic verdict.
But the child persevered and made it through, so as a reward, she generously gave him a long enough rest time.
However, she didn’t expect that just ten days later, her most beloved toy turned into a murderer and slaughtered all her girlfriends and the guards they brought with them right in front of her.
“You did give him a chance to survive, but you ended up taking his life. In the final moments, all he felt towards you was hatred.”
Odin looked down at the trembling nobles in front of him with an expressionless face, and felt only bored.
It was easy for him to control this guy who was obsessed with carnal desires.
But he felt sick.
