Two long, white contrails of condensing steam slowly climbed toward the horizon, but in reality, they were moving at an incredible speed. Under the protection of a faintly glowing white conical shockwave and flames, two massive dragons, clad in heavy armor, were shooting toward the outer atmosphere at a stunning velocity.
The two dragons did not cast any spells; their ascent was entirely powered by the dragon battle armor they wore. The mysterious and complex magical arrays emitted a faint light, and the high-purity magic crystals and dragon crystals left by their ancestors released a powerful energy, temporarily granting the armored dragons the ability to break through the sky.
This was the greatest reliance of the dragon race in defending against the extraterrestrial alien front.
"Stay close to me, kid. In an hour, we'll enter the void zone. Remember, don't touch the battle armor, or you'll be trapped and die in the void zone. Be careful, it's very dangerous here."
The fire dragon Chifeng, who was on escort duty, roared loudly while protected by the battle armor glowing with magical light.
Once in the void zone, communication would only be possible through mental telepathy. Given the gold dragon's complete insulation from magic, they probably didn't even know what mental power was!
"Stop calling me 'kid.' I have a name. Call me Dragon Lord Gold!"
The gold dragon glanced sideways at the fire dragon who treated him like a rookie on his first space mission. Was Dragon Lord Gold really so inexperienced?
"Ha ha! Alright, Lord Gold, don't cry when you face the extraterrestrial aliens!"
Chifeng still treated Gold as a new recruit on his first extraterrestrial battlefield. He had seen countless such brash young ones in his life.
"Huh!?"
Just as the fire dragon finished speaking, he seemed to sense something unusual and cast his gaze toward the darkening sky.
A faint light appeared at the edge of his vision and was rapidly growing brighter.
Relying on his perception of active fire elements and his experience in battling extraterrestrial aliens, Chifeng immediately identified what it was.
"Damn, is there a breach in the defense line? Those aliens have launched a meteor! Kid, follow me and dodge it. If you don't want to die, move quickly!"
The meteor's core was often a massive rock or metal. On the ground, it wouldn't be so terrifying, but falling from the sky, the terrifying kinetic energy was a hundred times more fearsome than a cannonball, especially with the intense burning caused by the friction with the air.
Even a meteor the size of a human fist would be impossible to withstand with the toughest dragon scales, let alone a meteor the size of a small mountain.
From the trajectory of this extraterrestrial visitor, it seemed to be heading straight for the Sky Dragon City. If it hit, despite the protection of the complex and vast magical arrays, the impact would still cause some damage, and the repair work would be very complex.
Such meteor attacks occurred one or two times a year, and most meteors were intercepted before they entered the atmosphere.
Chifeng, the fire dragon, didn't expect to encounter a漏网之鱼 (slip through the net) while escorting a gold dragon recruit to the extraterrestrial battlefield.
"I hate being called a kid!"
The gold dragon was very angry. His form rapidly evolved, extending beyond the dragon battle armor.
Several SEG core units were generated, and the Searl effect field was activated!
The Flowing Heaven magic array formed, with high-purity mithril lines extending into complex patterns, releasing an invisible force field.
Intense electric light flickered and surged into the supercapacitors that had evolved.
"What, what is this?"
The fire dragon's eyes nearly popped out. Was it a magic shield? By the Dragon God, when did the gold dragon race gain the ability to cast spells?
But the air ripples and flames caused by high-speed friction were clearly isolated, and a strange, thick column seemed to be extending from within.
He had never heard of a dragon's JJ growing on its back. As a fire dragon capable of casting spells, he sensed a violent reaction of lightning and light elements in the next second.
This is impossible!
Chifeng could confirm that the young gold dragon had no other alchemical equipment besides the dragon battle armor, and this type of alchemical device was unheard of.
Laser crystals were simulated and formed! A high-precision, high-reflection resonant cavity was formed! The energized excitation source began to release energy!
Strange changes also occurred under the dragon battle armor. The fire control system completed the lock!
After obtaining the insulating metal "Gold," the gold dragon was no longer restricted by the electronic module "Spark" and could evolve various electronic components on its own.
Suddenly, a pale red beam as thick as an adult human's thigh shot out, and a brilliant red light flashed on the increasingly large meteor. The Tyndall effect reached its peak.
A few seconds later, the red meteor split into countless fragments, and even if they managed to pass through the atmosphere, they would pose no threat to the Sky Dragon City.
The threat from the extraterrestrial meteor was instantly eliminated.
By the Dragon God, it really is magic!
"Magic? By the Dragon God, you can cast magic!"
The lava dragon roared in disbelief. The gold dragon race was known for being completely insulated from magic, relying on physical combat and evolving various weapons. There had never been a gold dragon capable of casting spells.
But the scene before him completely颠覆了 (upended) Chifeng's previous understanding. Even the Dragon King would likely be shocked.
A few seconds later, the intense explosion was heard in the sky, and even at such a high altitude with thin air, the impact was still astonishing.
"This is science, you bumpkin!"
Gold finally had a chance to feel proud. The super high-power giant pulse laser cannon outside the dragon battle armor had melted due to overload and was quickly consumed and recycled by the gold dragon.
With sufficient high-quality food, he could continuously evolve these powerful weapons. If he had enough uranium or plutonium, he might even be able to create nuclear weapons.
The gold dragon, once hidden among human civilization and armed with advanced military technology, was no longer the same as before. Using high-tech means, he transformed the mundane into the extraordinary, creating the scene that left the fire dragon speechless.
Without magic, there were various directed energy weapons and electromagnetic railguns, and the repulsion shield born from the unexpected mutation of magic and technology.
This fully proved the maxim: knowledge is power.
The greatest devil in the world is not Satan, but the scientist!
Countless meteor showers fell from the sky. The size and speed of the fragments were incomparable to the original meteor, meaning that Gold and Chifeng no longer needed to dodge. The built-in magic shield of the dragon battle armor could easily withstand the insignificant impact of these fragments.
"Science? Is it magic? Or a curse? Or alchemy?"
The unfamiliar term "science" left the fire dragon Chifeng in confusion. It was clearly the first time he had seen such a terrifying ability, no! It was power!
A very mysterious power, even breaking the commonly known common sense. Chifeng vaguely felt that this power was no less than magic, curses, or alchemy.
Below the completely dark sky, the massive planet was gradually taking shape, with the thick atmosphere behind them glowing white.
Against the background of the stars no longer twinkling outside the sky, a huge, ugly, dark crack spanned the ecliptic plane of the planet, like a giant eye full of resentment, overlooking the myriad lives on the earth below.
Ten thousand years ago, a massive spatial rift appeared in the endless void outside the sky. At the same time, a race that had never been seen before suddenly descended upon the vast land.
A world-wide catastrophe erupted without warning, and the various intelligent races, facing the threat of extinction, were forced to unite and organize a full-scale counterattack.
In the later stages of the war, the flying races, particularly the dragon race and the feathered race, played a crucial role, repeatedly repelling the extraterrestrial aliens.
The epic and brutal war lasted nearly a thousand years, and the extraterrestrial race, known to the various allied forces as "Sagali," was finally repelled and retreated to the mysterious and unknown world on the other side of the spatial rift.
The powerful races, led by the dragon race, and other top-tier beings still guarded this extraterrestrial battlefield, continuing to repel the occasional invasions by the extraterrestrial "Sagali."
"We're almost there!"
Leading the new recruit of the Battle Dragon Hall, the fire dragon Chifeng saw a small celestial body ahead of the dark crack, completely enveloped in magical light. This was their destination, the true location of the Battle Dragon Hall headquarters.
To the gold dragon and the fire dragon, who had just left the atmosphere and entered the void zone, the small celestial body appeared so tiny compared to the spatial rift, like a football compared to a stadium that could hold 50,000 people.
This small celestial body was a small asteroid captured by the dragon race and other races in the void, serving as a forward base to resist the extraterrestrial aliens. Its actual size was even larger than the Sky Dragon City by more than ten times.
"By the Dragon God!"
The gold dragon Gold, gazing at the small asteroid floating in the high orbit opposite the vast land, couldn't help but widen his eyes.
It was probably the first time he had seen such an unimaginably grand scene, and the pride and superiority he felt from using technological weapons vanished instantly.
The massive asteroid was clearly a space station of unimaginable size.
"New recruit, stay alert! Here, we might encounter the 'Sagali' at any time!"
The fire dragon Chifeng released a mental communication. He didn't know whether bringing this young gold dragon with strange abilities to the extraterrestrial battlefield was a good or bad thing.
I hope the King's decision is right!
