Chapter 283
by fanqienovelChapter 283: Emerald Shadow and the Bared Tooth Tsar
“Hmm… Ugh…”
The massive, streamlined Divine Body lay sprawled across the narrow City of Dimensions; the huge Divine Body made the hundreds of meters long etheric serpent dig frantically deeper into the Primal Mud.
To such a giant being, even the etheric serpent seemed weak.
The giant jaws filled with sharp teeth showed his killings and cruelty; the huge emerald scales on his back revealed his unbreakable strength!
Cassius Tiberea, titled “Emerald Shadow,” had long ruled the space between the “Endless Ether Realm” and the “Chaos Swamp Realm,” making it his home.
He gave the clan of Ether Dragons two renowned adult Ether Dragons and several young Ether Dragons, including Clodius.
Formal deities bowing to his sharp teeth and huge dragon body numbered in the hundreds; one former “core councilor” died in his giant jaws.
It was hard to imagine anyone could be his enemy?
But now, Cassius Tiberea was battered and bruised; he curled up in the small City of Dimensions, barely clinging to life.
The cause was a deity “from the Endless Ether”—“Bared Tooth Tsar,” called Kutulaso.
His body was strong, round, and powerful, with a dorsal fin rising high above the Sea of Ether.
“Swish—!”
He swam fast and nimbly, darting like lightning, hard to catch.
But the most striking were those sharp, jutting, fearsome giant teeth!
They were Kutulaso’s strongest weapons, and because of them, this terrifying deity from the “Endless Ether Realm” earned the title “Bared Tooth Tsar.”
“Hahaha…”
He swam, splashing waves with his tail.
A proud laugh echoed from his Soul.
“Emerald Shadow, stop struggling!
“With my bloodletting teeth in you, you think you can run!?”
“Hiss…”
As Kutulaso swam swiftly, blood scattered in the Sea of Ether brushed his teeth.
“Tasty!”
“Your blood is delicious!”
“I can’t wait to taste your flesh!”
Facing the taunt, Tiberea cursed angrily, “Go away—!”
“If not for your sneaky attack, I wouldn’t be like this…”
“Tsk…”
Cassius Tiberea bit down hard.
Pain inside him, especially in his lower body, still tormented him.
This cold “Emerald Shadow” had very high standards for his children; he refused to have weak offspring.
While still in Tiberea’s womb, her children began fierce competition.
The newly hatched etheric worms were driven by their killing instincts; they fought each other, devouring the flesh and souls of their brothers and sisters until only one remained, which Tiberea then expelled from her body.
In the outside world, they faced even harsher trials.
Only those who survived could become true young Ether Dragons.
After that, they were driven from the Nest by the "Emerald Shadow" into the brutal "Chaos Swamp Realm" or the even harsher "Endless Ether Realm," where they sought a suitable nesting place to become new rulers.
However, this time, Tiberea encountered trouble.
She was having a difficult birth!
“Taking advantage of others’ misfortune!?”
“Hah!”
“I am merely going with the flow!”
“You should understand what has been happening during this time!”
“What changes are happening between the Endless Ether and the Chaos Swamp?”
“The times have changed!”
“Your era has come to an end!”
Listening to the roar of the “Bared Tooth Tsar,” Tiberea felt helpless; she could not refute anything.
The “Endless Ether Realm” was continuously expanding its influence, aggressively corroding the borders of the “Chaos Swamp Realm.” Now, even the “Fantasy Tree Barrier Seeds” guarding the boundary struggled to survive.
Chaos had to continuously extract energy from the Chaos Swamp Realm to sustain the “Fantasy Tree Barrier Seeds,” maintaining a fragile balance.
But now, that balance was about to break!
“The Endless Ether was rising too rapidly; the Fantasy Tree of Subspace could no longer hold back their invasion into the depths of the ‘Chaos Swamp Realm’!”
“They had surrounded my Nest!”
“Worse, countless terrifying ‘destructive rogue shards of divine rank’ had suddenly emerged in the Endless Ether, and they bit everything they saw!”
“More frightening still, these fellows could enter the bodies of deities with food and ether, causing immense destruction.”
“If it were before, when the Endless Ether hadn’t invaded so heavily, there weren’t as many ‘rogue shards of divine rank,’ and they would not cause me any harm.”
“But now…”
“Uh…”
Her newly developing children had nearly all died in the womb due to the invasion of the rogue shards of divine rank.
Though Tiberea had overcome the disturbance of stillbirths and successfully given birth to one offspring, the damage remained.
Seizing the moment while she was weak, the "Bared Tooth Tsar" came in for the kill.
With her young ones weighing her down and her physical condition in terrible shape, the Bared Tooth Tsar severely wounded her.
“Glurp… Glurp…”
The divine gills opened and closed continuously, inhaling etheric liquid, absorbing the magical energy within.
But this otherwise ordinary metabolic process became increasingly difficult and frantic.
But it wasn’t just the "Bared Tooth Tsar" who sensed the weakness; Kutulaso did too.
“Hehe…”
“It seemed today I was truly doomed…”
“Even the minor pests came swarming in.”
While most of the blood remained trapped inside the City of Dimensions, Tiberea had become too weak to keep it closed, and the smell of blood spread out.
“Hiss…”
“Sizzle—sizzle—!”
“Where’s the blood! Where’s the food! Where’s the good stuff!”
Various Outer Gods from the Endless Ether and the Chaos Swamp surged forward, swimming around the outskirts excitedly.
These beings knew how to enjoy the show safely; they stayed at a safe distance to avoid the God’s War, which was too strong for them, but not too far to miss the feast while it was warm.
They didn’t care who died.
In any case, they were happy whenever something died.
“Give up!”
The final ultimatum arrived.
“I, the Bared Tooth Tsar, will grant you a very dignified, quick, and painless death!”
Cassius Tiberea closed his eyes.
“Hiss…”
He opened the permissions for entry and exit from the City of Dimensions.
In an instant, blood surged out in a great rush!
The heavy smell of blood immediately filled the entire “Ether Sea.”
Under this huge and intense stimulation, Kutulaso finally couldn’t hold back!
He was an extremely bloodthirsty god, and the excitement made him lose his rationality instantly.
“Roar—!”
He roared and suddenly charged towards the City of Dimensions.
“Now’s the time!”
Cassius Tiberea seized the opportunity!
“Whoosh—!”
He suddenly expanded his curled-up body, fully releasing the energy he had accumulated!
“Whoosh—!”
The Emerald Shadow transformed into a flash of blood and green, rushing fiercely towards the invading giant deity!
“Ah—woah—!”
“Pshhh—!”
The giant jaws bit fiercely into Kutulaso, who had lost his rationality and was lunging towards it!
“Roar—!”
Kutulaso’s Soul roared wildly, thrashing his massive body.
“Hiss…”
He quickly shook off the deadly bite of the Emerald Shadow and decisively discarded part of his pectoral fin!
But the Emerald Shadow’s desperate counterattack was not over yet!
“Bang—!”
A powerful collision!
“Hiss—!”
Kutulaso’s first attack was thus humiliatingly repelled!
“Whew…”
Tiberea shrank back despondently into the City of Dimensions.
She glanced behind at the baby dragon, curled up and slipping into slumber, and sighed helplessly.
“Little one!”
“I really did my best…”
“Ahhh—!”
Suddenly, a sharp pain hit her back!
Clearly, the Bared Tooth Tsar, angry and ashamed, launched a second wave of attack!
Just as she was about to be helplessly dragged out of the City of Dimensions, casting a lingering glance towards the “little one”…
“Roar—!”
The Bared Tooth Tsar suddenly released his grip.
“Roar—!”
“Roar, roar!”
His Soul emitted a pitiful howl, and his body trembled with fear.
“That is…”
Tiberea squinted, looking beyond the City of Dimensions.
There, the minor Outer Gods were fleeing in fear.
A massive creature was dragging the arrogant Kutulaso towards the direction of the Chaos Swamp Realm!
