Chapter 1119: 17.46 Fourth Violet Star - The Egg in the hands of the Black Dragon.
At the main palace, a rare scene took place. The renowned Mistress Laurel Azure von Chrysalis had even conjured her quantum beast, the Eight-headed Hydra. The princess of the Chrysalis Clan was physically stronger than her twin brother t.i.tus von Chrysalis, who was only at S-ranked when he was born.
She was born with a flaw, albeit it would be inaccurate to term it a flaw given her apparent skill. It was an easy issue that anyone would antic.i.p.ate her having it. She loves to fight. She had the innate ability to sense when someone was more powerful than her or when a fight was worthwhile. With her issue of requesting a fight for fun, Laurel Azure von Chrysalis has always been more dominant than her peers and has since taken on the role of a bully. She particularly enjoys picking on her twin brother.
The Black Dragon in the sky is particularly spectacular; after all, this is the Legendary Quantum Beast that has been the subject of rumors. Everything in the path of the Chaos Dragon's raging course through the battlefield is killed. But, it was now clutching an odd object in its handa huge white-silver egg decorated with a black snowflake design. Right now, the black dragon appears quite absurd.
The comments among the audiences:
"Wow~ that Mistress Laurel's Eight-Headed Hydra! I heard its head regenerate even when it was cut. It's such a durable creature."
"How come it is so big!? It caused a huge wave splash just now. I got caught in it! Pei. Pei. Salty!"
"Is that a Black Dragon? The one in the rumors!? What the h.e.l.l? It's so big and so scary!"
"But I heard only the Grand Marshal possessed a Dragon as his quantum beast!? Is that the Grand Marshal? Why is he here? Has he found out about our Emperor!? No way! What should we do?"
"Calm down, you silly! Didn't you see it was the King who brought him here? That means the Human Grand Marshal is on our side. Hmp!"
"Wait! There is something wrong with that Dragon. Look! It's holding something! Is that an egg!?"
"Egg? Why would a dragon hold an egg? Is that his snack?"
"Snacks, you're a.s.s! Is that an Ordinary egg? How can it be that big!?"
Of course, the Chrysalis Clan was also aware of the strange egg held by the black dragon in addition to the audience. Seeing such an egg particularly astounded the Gretel Clan. They had previously witnessed this. After all, the quantum beast of Clodius von Chrysalis was born from an egg that was kept as a secret by the Gretel Clan. The Gretel Brothers exchange startled glances with one another.
Nimbus von Gretel said, "Brother, that egg is it that?"
"Yaya, the egg that the Black Dragon is holding is it..." asked Clodius von Chrysalis.
Yara von Chrysalis nodded his head and said, "When Roi entered my Soul Domain once, he brought that egg out, so I think it's mine. But Roi never let it go after taking it away so I let him hatch it for me."
As soon as he was done speaking, Yara von Chrysalis noticed his grandfather Clodius flying toward the Grand Marshal in the back of his ice phoenix. Even his grandfather's sour countenance, which he often only observed in the presence of opponents, was visible to him. He was afraid that his grandfather might slay his fascinating toy, so he wanted to reach out and follow him. But his grandfather, who gave him a kind glance, restrained his shoulder.
Argus Blues von Chrysalis said, "Don't worry. Since you choose to bring home that child with you, even if your Grandfather is a bit angry, he wouldn't harm him. Let's wait, okay? But even this old man didn't expect that our baby would be born with a quantum beast even though I don't have one."
"Grandma... I mean Granddad doesn't have one?" Yara von Chrysalis asked.
Argus Blues von Chrysalis explained, "Because Granddad wasn't human in the first place or maybe because my bloodline is so strong that the Quantum World rejects me, so I don't have any Quantum Beast. But it's okay, didn't Baby help me sign a contract with the World Tree? Your Grandfather's phoenix loves it a lot."
"Granddad, don't worry. I will catch another phoenix for you in the future." Yara von Chrysalis declared.
All of the adults a.s.sumed he was kidding and consented to it because they knew it wouldn't come to pa.s.s. The Grand Marshal brought back an egg for his granddad as a gift, which would hatch into a plant-type phoenix and would sign a contract with Argus Blues von Chrysalis as his quantum beast, until in the distant future when this baby of theirs becomes the G.o.d of this world along with them. That is a different tale for later.
On the other hand, in the sky above them. The Grand Marshal and Laurel Azure von Chrysalis who were about to fight suddenly froze when they saw Clodius von Chrysalis approaching them.
Laurel Azure von Chrysalis asked, "Grandpa, why are you here? I still haven't fought yet!"
"Just a moment. Brat, tell your dragon to lend me the Egg of my Grandson." Clodius von Chrysalis said.
Roi, the Black Dragon, roared angrily before the Grand Marshal could speak. Clearly knowledgeable enough to comprehend what Clodius von Chrysalis had just said, particularly in light of the Black Dragon's apparent attempt to conceal his Egg (Partner) with his enormous body by curling.
ROOOAAARRR~
Even Clodius refrained from complaining out loud despite the Grand Marshal and the others frowning. He was aware of a quantum beast's tendency to overprotect his partner. Even if the egg didn't hatch, the black dragon already thought of it as a wife, and he was aware that by attempting to take the egg from it, he was asking for a beating.
"Calm down, Roi." The Grand Marshal said to his black dragon.
When he could feel his body trembling, Clodius von Chrysalis regarded the black dragon with a serious expression on his face. It appears that this black dragon is more complex than they initially believed. If it were only an SSS-ranked Quantum Beast, why would the peak strength of an SSS-ranked warrior tremble under its frenzied roars? It must be something more powerful.
"That egg wouldn't hatch no matter how long you hatched it. An ice element-type Quantum Beast can only hatch surrounded by ice colder than one can imagine. If you don't give it to me, it will never hatch at all." Clodius von Chrysalis said.
While he said these words, he wasn't looking at the Grand Marshal because he was aware that this black dragon had developed intellect much like his phoenix. When they Awakened divinity in them as mythological creatures in the traditions, they were ent.i.ties above the common quantum beast.
The black dragon, as was to be expected, became more composed after hearing Clodius von Chrysalis' words. Roi looks at his master before turning to look at the person riding the ice phoenix in front of them. He even senses the Ice Phoenix's fear and contempt as it surveys him. Here is a tiny piece of proof that this Quantum Beast is unique compared to the others.
Roi suddenly spoke and was looking at the ice phoenix carrying Clodius von Chrysalis. He asked, "How were you hatched? My partner has had half of the Phoenix bloodline before but he is digesting it as he sleeps. But he just wouldn't wake up no matter how much I call. Tell me, how were you hatched?"
"A nest of Ice with the lowest temperature. Even though the soul I feel in that egg is not completely a phoenix one, what it needs is a nest made of Ice to hatch properly." The Phoenix named Icy answered.
Those who didn't know that Quantum Beast could speak human language were shocked. Even some members of the Chrysalis Clan were dumbfounded.
Laurel Azure von Chrysalis exclaims, "Grandpa, Grandpa Icy can speak!?"
"Of course, Naughty la.s.s. It is just that I'm too lazy to speak, that's all." Icy, the Ice Phoenix said. He once again looked at the egg in the embrace of the Black Dragon and said, "Anyway, leave my youngest grandson's Egg. We can only put it in my nest so it can hatch properly. After you fight you can accompany him in the nest."
Upon hearing this, the reluctant Black Dragon could only look at his master who was letting him decide for himself, and at his other master, Yara von Chrysalis, who gave him a nod.
Yara von Chrysalis said, "You can trust Grandpa Icy, Roi."
Rawr~ The Black Dragon reluctantly handed Clodius von Chrysalis the egg he was holding.
Roi was reluctant to let the egg leave his side for a time.
Clodius von Chrysalis said, "On this planet, this little one will be safe. Don't worry."
"Wife, I'll be back soon." He said to Argus Blues von Chrysalis who was watching from below.
He didn't order Icy, the Phoenix, to fly into the planet's ice zone until after that. They intend to place the egg on a glacier's nest in the north. When Laurel Azure von Chrysalis noticed that the person who was on the way had left, she stopped resisting and began to a.s.sault the Grand Marshal.
Hahaha~ "Let's have a fun fight!" Laurel Azure von Chrysalis shouted as she pulled out a spear from her inventory while ordering her hydra to attack their opponent.
From the water below, eight water pillars emerge, creating a route for Laurel to enter and a jump for the Grand Marshal. She swung a ma.s.sive spear that was unlike her. The Grand Marshal appears unfazed as she swings her spear at him; he gently lifts his hand, blocking the spear's tip with a finger.
The Grand Marshal flicked his fingers towards the point of the spear and the energy from those thin fingers was enough to blow away the young girl on the other side, saying, "Not bad, but there are too many fancy moves."
FLICKED!
FLOPPED!
Her quantum beast swiftly intervened to save her after she fell into the sea. The Grand Marshal surveys the sight of her fall while standing casually above the black dragon's head. By merely flinging her weapon and both of them away from him, he had already shown her kindness. His fingers' power was also severely restrained.
The Grand Marshal said, "You can try two more times."
People present were astounded. Even t.i.tus von Chrysalis did not antic.i.p.ate a one-sided conflict. The grownups around Yara von Chrysalis, including General Nimbus von Gretel, had antic.i.p.ated this. After all, this is the Grand Marshal, the world's strongest man, who was also able to defeat the Mystical b.u.t.terfly Clan when he was a child. Zephyr had been severely beaten by this man when he was younger and vowed never to confront him again.
t.i.tus von Chrysalis said, "How can he be this powerful? Is it because their level is different by one rank?"
"It is not that simple. I think him right now was someone even Clodius wouldn't be able to beat. He... had gotten a lot stronger." Argus Blues von Chrysalis mumbled as he noticed that huge difference in strength between the young man in his memory and this man in front of him.
Suddenly they heard Yara talking to himself his tone was a bit confused and a sense of disbelief was felt,
"Why can't Sis Lau can't block that flick? It wasn't that powerful when I sparred with Caesar."
Everyone looked at Yara with shock on their faces. They couldn't believe hearing the words he just said.
Can't block?
Wasn't that powerful?
Spar?
Why do they find it harder to believe what they are hearing as they listen more? He fought against that monster (Grand Marshal)?
