A Dragon against the Whole World

Chapter 694: Chapter 416: The Struggle Between Good and Evil—The Faction of Tolerance and the Faction of Purification

Border Area, the snow and wind continue to swirl.

Days quietly slip away in the howling cold wind.

Like Silver Dragon Adri, Red Copper Dragon Selena also left the icy land after a brief stay.

The main reason she came to Dragon Valley last time was to inform Red Iron Dragon and Red Silver Dragon about Silver Dragon’s slumber and return to the Dragon Domain. After a brief exchange and farewell, she set off straight back to the vast Raging Waves Dragon Domain.

Meanwhile.

Within Raging Waves Dragon Domain, renowned for its azure ocean and magnificent storms.

Crystal-clear sapphire-like sea water caressed the soft beach, and the salty sea breeze, both refreshing and invigorating, gently swept along the coast.

At this moment, Silver Dragon Adri has yet to formally enter the adult slumber period.

He assumed the form of a mature man dressed in a silver robe, with snow-white hair flying and a stern face, walking leisurely along the tide marks that were ceaselessly kissed and retreated by the waves, together with Selena, who wore a colorful dress and whose honey-colored long hair danced with the sea breeze.

”Galos is becoming increasingly elusive and unfathomable to the Dragons.”

Selena’s eyes sparkled with excitement as she playfully kicked the colorful shells occasionally visible on the beach, speaking in a light-hearted tone, ”He quietly connected with Elder Ovis of Fubo Dragon Domain and became the mysterious Giant Dragon everyone is eyeing in the competition.”

”The champions selected from the five dragon domains could only earn the right to challenge him in the end.”

”Haha, it’s going to be quite a show now.”

”Though I didn’t witness the scene when the rules were announced, I can fully imagine the young Dragons with high spirits within those domains hearing this rule and probably snorting with anger.”

Adri’s gaze fell on the distant point where the sea meets the sky.

He spoke with a steady voice, ”Legendary Golden Dragon, Elder Ovis... I’ve heard of him.”

”Rumors say he has a flamboyant style, likes to create a spectacle, but he possesses sharp vision. Surely he’s seen the potential in Galos and the qualities that distinguish him from other Evil Dragons.”

”His action, perhaps, is an attempt to cultivate Galos, even going so far as to amend the long-standing competition rules for him.”

The Silver Dragon’s voice slightly paused before continuing, ”But in doing so, he’s put Galos in the spotlight, and now the young Dragons from the five domains probably hold a grudge against him, seeing him as a target to surpass and defeat.”

Elder Ovis may not have considered this aspect, after all, he is a noble Golden Dragon.

In the five domains, from the moment Golden Dragons hatch, they naturally stand at the center of attention of all Dragon kinds; they are the aristocracy among Metal Dragons, the cherished ones favored by the Dragon God.

It’s said that the great Platinum Dragon God’s gaze constantly watches every Golden Dragon.

But Galos... he’s not a Golden Dragon.

No matter how excellent or distinctive he is, the bloodline of the Five-Colored Dragon still exists within him, clearly evident in his imposing and fierce appearance.

Despite the small number, the Metal Dragons who hold a deep-rooted prejudice against Evil Dragons are indeed present within each domain.

These Metal Dragons holding such views are collectively categorized as the ”Purification Faction” within the domains.

The Purification Faction Metal Dragons firmly believe that the Evil Dragon bloodline is an innate ”original sin.”

Its chaotic, evil, and destructive nature is deeply ingrained in the soul, incapable of being wholly altered through acquired education or guidance; the tolerance of their existence is akin to nurturing a threat, posing a latent danger to the world of order and other kind races.

For the peace and safety of the broader world, the bloodline of Evil Dragons must be ruthlessly eradicated and purified.

In their view, it is both a noble duty and an inescapable destiny.

However, Adri and Selena belong to the opposing ”Inclusiveness Faction.”

The Inclusiveness Faction Metal Dragons argue that the essence of good and evil stems from an individual’s acquired choices and will, rather than mere bloodline inheritance.

Every Dragon is an independent individual, possessing the right to freely choose their path; history has proven that occasionally, evil figures deviating from the path of goodness have emerged from Metal Dragons, and likewise, Five-Colored Dragons have appeared who choose the path of order and goodness.

Thus, patient education, guidance, and transformation are substantially more effective than simple brutal slaying.

All Dragons, especially those young Evil Dragons who have yet to commit grave wrongs, should be given a chance to seek goodness and redemption.

The majority of Metal Dragons ideologically lean toward the Inclusiveness Faction.

The Purification Faction is merely a vocal minority.

At this moment, Selena spoke: ”You sparred with Galos twice in the past, and both times you lost. Are you still unclear about his character and strength?”

”Since he agreed, surely he has thought it through and possesses something to rely on.”

”And darling, when you awaken from this slumber, you’ll be among the Legendary Domain. By then, keep an extra watch on our Red Iron Dragon son-in-law, lest another domain snatches him away. Like that Golden Dragon Ovis, who might harbor some peculiar thoughts.”

Adri cast a helpless glance at his whimsical companion, just about to say something.

Boom!!

Suddenly, an unexpected change occurred!

The distant sea, initially calm and smooth like a giant sapphire mirror, erupted without warning.
