Crack!
However, even the enhanced Diamond Barrier was destroyed by 'Rhine.'
As cracks spread across its surface, the barrier began to peel away like an eggshell, revealing the Black King hidden inside.
His long, snake-like neck rose, and his vicious dragon head, covered in an exoskeleton, tilted upward. The black scales glistened with a metallic sheen.
His muscular body moved, and the scales parted, releasing hot, white smoke. His wing membranes, covered in debris, unfurled, sending violent winds swirling.
"Roar—!"
The Black Emperor roared toward the sky once more.
Like a physical shockwave, the soundwave stirred up layers of dust, crashing through the empty void like a tsunami, shaking the island of consciousness beneath his feet, as if it bowed in submission to the Emperor's authority.
The clouds hovering above the island of consciousness were instantly shredded by the rising shockwave. Thunderstorms vanished in an instant.
At this moment, the Black King unleashed its ancient and overwhelming aura of authority.
But, in the next second.
The Black King's roar suddenly stopped, and its pupils shrank sharply.
After the dark clouds, thick as ink, dispersed, a fierce wind surged like a tide. A dragon-shaped figure appeared, standing proudly in the sky.
Its massive wings spread out, accompanied by a thunderous explosion of sound, blocking the sunlight. The figure cast a chilling shadow over the island of consciousness.
Its grey-white, rock-like scales, strong and beautifully shaped limbs, and eyes with vertical, light-golden pupils made the Black King's heart stop for a moment.
"Indeed, you truly are the 'imperfect' Black King. I should not have expected too much from you."
Uchiha Sogetsu's face showed a deep disappointment.
The wings, large enough to cover the sky, did not even need to flap. The roaring winds, like a royal carriage, lifted the figure high.
The sky, which had just cleared, quickly became clouded again. Lightning, thick like a python, erupted with a deep, rumbling sound!
The intense deathly aura, like an invisible hand, tightly gripped the Black King's massive heart in its chest.
In an instant, the air became thick and heavy. The pressure descending from the heavens made the Black King feel as if it were walking on the surface of a planet with a gravity a thousand times heavier.
Its body, as tough as alloy, groaned under the crushing weight, and blood seeped from the cracks in its shattered scales.
Carrying the immense pressure, the Black King let out a low growl and raised its head. Its pride would never allow it to lower its head to anyone!
Its fierce golden eyes, like a candle flame in the wind, locked onto the figure in the sky.
It was as if a god, standing high in the clouds, looked down with cold and indifferent eyes, gazing upon the lives on the island below, which seemed as insignificant as ants.
"Still, I must thank you."
Uchiha Sogetsu said calmly, "Thanks to you, I was able to truly grasp the ancient power of the Dragon King."
An indescribable sense of power spread, like a raging wildfire, igniting the atmosphere of the entire sky.
A blinding white light occupied the heavens, forming a fierce shape in the clouds, like an ancient beast from the wild, spreading a terrifying and oppressive aura.
In the midst of the flashing lightning, an extreme heat surged, causing the air to bubble and distort, while a giant dragon stood in the vast sea of lightning, gripping a glowing and blazing spear with its bare hands.
Indra's Arrow!
Whoosh——!
The arrow fell from the sky, like a divine sword breaking through the air.
As the shockwaves exploded, it created an airburst, like a furious wind dragon roaring, scattering layers of blocking air and releasing an intensely dazzling light!
In an instant, the sky became blindingly bright. The brilliance of Indra's Arrow eclipsed the entire sky's radiance, making even the rising sun appear dim in comparison.
The dazzling light of the thunderbolt pierced the sky, and wherever it passed, the atmosphere and space were torn apart, as if the heavens themselves were split in two!
As the lightning expanded in their sight, the Black King let out an unwilling roar.
But, no matter how unwilling, what could he do?
He wasn't the true Black King Nidhogg. He was merely a fragmented will of power.
When the fragmented body of the Black King's will faced that arrow, which seemed like a judgment, it still refused to just sit and wait for its end. It poured its remaining strength into its body.
Ancient and majestic dragon runes appeared, attaching Word Soul to it.
Word Soul · Immortal!
Word Soul · Bronze Throne!
Word Soul · Diamond Barrier!
Word Soul · Glass Brahma City!
In the blink of an eye, the Black King's body suddenly grew several times in size. His dense muscles burst through his scales, as if he had completely gone berserk, falling into the endless depths of hell like a demon.
He was no longer divine and majestic. Instead, he resembled a blood-soaked warrior!
The Black King was like a lone warrior marching to his death, or a hawk striking down the sun itself. His wings soared through the sky, dragging a roaring wave of air.
He surged upwards, breaking through layers of air, and with the deafening sound of an explosive shockwave, he pushed his final strength to the limit, colliding with the blinding light spear.
Boom!!!
The piercing sound waves tore through the void, and the consciousness island was the first to be hit, shattering under the violent storm.
The ocean of subconsciousness was directly stirred up, creating massive waves. It danced with the roaring dust and wind, and the powerful gusts tore the very fabric of space, creating a hundred-mile-long rift in the sky!
The outer layers of the 'Diamond Barrier' and 'Glass Brahma City' were instantly shattered, collapsing under the onslaught of the thunderous light spear.
However, the Black King showed no fear. His blood-soaked flesh, strengthened by the power of words, tore through the air as he reached for the light spear filled with destructive power.
Ssss!!!
The extreme heat instantly cooked his flesh.
