Beneath the Red Dragon

Chapter 847: Chapter 146: Kings’ Assembly: Pan-Northern Territory Destiny Community_3

It is not that Karon Gogomola’s wisdom is unmatched, even the proud Red Dragon itself would not admit to such a thing.

It is not that Karon Gogomola is extremely humble, but rather he always believes that a person’s possible failure is not due to weakness and ignorance, but more likely due to arrogance.

And Karon’s pride is completely different from conceited arrogance.

The races of Aikania cannot comprehend, it is merely that the perspective at which Karon Gogomola stands exceeds the constraints of the current era and environment.

An undefined empire and an undefined ruler should do undefined things.

Well, the undefined Karon Gogomola was frozen in his own nest.

If it weren’t for that raised head and the shining blood-like eyes, perhaps others would think this Ancestral Red Dragon was already dead.

That massive body lay in the dried-up large Magma Lake, as if its entire body was completely frozen.

The bright scales exposed on Karon’s body, like those dyed with blood, appeared particularly dim, as if the ancient dragon had lost the vitality of life.

The originally muscular body also became extremely gaunt, like those adult Black Dragons, entirely reduced to a skeleton wrapped in scales.

Only when the elemental magic energy poured out like a tide from the cracks in the quiet dragon nest’s walls, would this gaunt, bone-thin body briefly swell for a few seconds, then return to its skeletal state.

Even the surging energy connected through the cracks in the nest’s sturdy stone walls to the Elemental Plane began to calm down.

Causing the body, which originally restored to its original state every half hour, to gradually extend to an hour, an hour and a half, and continues to lengthen.

That night, fighting the divine punishment after Immortal Queen Tiamat’s descent, though it damaged some of Karon Gogomola’s origin and consumed a large amount of Evil Dragon True Blood, for a being like the Ancestral Giant Dragon, such damage was actually not very severe.

The bloodline of the Ancestral Dragon stands at the peak in the mortal world, like the offspring of divine spirits, with unimaginable potential.

Karon Gogomola only needs time for rest and the endless material support gathered by the Golden Empire to quickly restore to its original state.

Karon Gogomola doesn’t even need a slumber.

The true culprit behind all this is the heart of the Ancient Divine Dragon King swallowed by the Ancestral Red Dragon, the Heart of Nagamata.

Karon not only needs to constantly use his will to resist the power of the Dragon Madness Curse Skill carried by the Heart of Nagamata, but also requires the imperial strong domain to assist himself in fully suppressing this divine-like dragon king’s heart.

The body of the Ancestral Red Dragon can bear the heart of the Ancient Divine Dragon King, but to digest this heart protected by divine-like power requires enormous effort to slowly grind down the higher energy—divine-like power.

Perhaps other Ancestral Giant Dragons, upon obtaining this heart, would choose to preserve it as their second heart, granting the dragon’s true form a more powerful energy source and ability.

However, in Karon’s view, the greatest use of this heart of the Ancient Divine Dragon King is only twofold.

The first point is that after its devouring and digestion, it supplements its own blood source code, advancing its goal once again slightly. Moreover, Karon needs to be very careful because he will not completely absorb the inherent bloodline rules, but rather purposefully take and construct according to himself.

This way, he avoids walking the same path as this divine-like Dragon King, giving those seeking to explore the roots of dragon bloodlines a chance to find an opportunity to control him.

The second point is regarding the divine-like power on the heart of the divine-like dragon king.

Although Karon will not attempt to absorb this unknown and ambiguous foreign power, he can replenish his knowledge based on this high energy nature.

Divine-like power is merely one of the extremely high types of energy in the cosmic rules, naturally having its specific structure and operational mode.

Once Karon deciphers the structure and operation of divine-like power, he will be able to use this knowledge as a reference.

His body’s evolution can also purposefully evolve in response to this energy.

In common terms—divine-like power immunity.

Of course, full immunity may not be possible, just like the high-frequency energy shields in the Dune World, which can only block attacks of a certain fixed frequency. Once beyond the fixed frequency range, they are powerless.

And though divine-like power is attributed to the same name, each legend’s law of destiny and every divine-like existence’s divine-like power differs.

But once one law is understood, all laws become understood, much like the authority of spirit with pride and gluttony. For Karon, it is merely the key to that treasure vault, not his reliance.

Even if this authority of spirit hasn’t been fully merged by him and is forcibly extracted by an enemy, he can reproduce it according to the knowledge he has explored.

Ultimately, Karon Gogomola will always rely on himself.

Nevertheless, Karon can also find ways to weaken and resist these high-level energies through such research, so profound mages and scientists are actually quite similar, with not much difference.
