Chapter 267: Terrifying Humans and the Slumber of the Colossal Beast (I)

"What? Are you sure that it\'s a draconic beast in its final form?"

Instantly, the entire monitoring center was abuzz. Many people\'s faces changed, and the officer in charge jumped up from his seat with a serious look.

"Deploy the ultra-high-definition satellite cameras from the nearby space orbit to lock onto that dragon beast. I want a clear picture."

"Yes, sir."

As the satellite zoomed in, the image of the Silver Dragon soon appeared on the large screen. High-definition satellites captured the dragon from seven different angles, and a complete figure of the dragon quickly took shape.

"Estimates put this beast between sixty-five and seventy meters long. It has the form of a western draconic beast, with no traces of other creatures on it. Its level is estimated to be at the beginning stage of level 8. Currently, no energy fluctuations have been detected. Its abilities are unknown. Overall evaluation: extremely dangerous."

"Whew! It\'s just level 8. That gave us quite a scare."

Many people breathed a sigh of relief at the news. The term "final form" was used by officials to describe king-level colossal beasts that were evolving toward the forms of mythical creatures, and in their final stage, ultimately matching that creature’s form completely.

The two main categories were the western colossal dragons and the eastern true dragons. While both were dragon species, they were fundamentally different.

For unknown reasons, many mutated marine and snake-type creatures in this world tended to evolve toward dragon forms. Additionally, many colossal beasts in the mythical world resembled creatures from myths and legends, such as the Midgard Serpent, the Hydra, and the ancient beast Zhu Yan.

This was why humanity referred to that realm as the mythical world. It also explained the shock everyone felt upon hearing about a dragon beast in its final form, assuming it was a mythical-level colossal beast.

Someone then asked, "Strange, isn\'t that Thunder Fiery’s territory? Why is there a dragon beast there?"

Mutated creatures, particularly colossal beasts that had reached level 7, were highly territorial and would fiercely defend their territory against intruders. However, Thunder Fiery, the Dragon Turtle, and the Single-horned Kun were current exceptions to this rule, due to Thunder Fiery having the charisma of a king-level leader.

The Senior Colonel said solemnly, "Keep a close watch on the situation there, and send out a report. Let\'s see what the higher-ups have to say."

"Yes, sir."

This time, unlike when Thunder Fiery was initially found, there was no proposal to deploy orbital weapons for extermination. The descendants of mythical colossal beasts like this dragon had powerful backers. Without being certain whether these creatures were hostile toward humans, no one dared to risk provoking one.

After all, humanity’s main forces weren’t in this world, so minimizing trouble was preferable.

It was a different case from Thunder Fiery, who was clearly a wild mutant. If it could be killed preemptively, it would eliminate a potential threat to humanity. No matter where, having a backer or not made a significant difference.

Soon, as the satellites monitored the island, the water erupted, and a black and red colossal beast stood upright in the shallow water.

"Sir! Thunder Fiery has appeared. It has engaged in battle with the silver dragon."

Upon hearing that the two colossal beasts were fighting, many people were invigorated. One even exclaimed excitedly, "Great, it\'s best if one of these creatures dies."

"Hopefully, they both get severely injured."

"Exactly."

Amid the crowd\'s hopeful gazes, the island erupted with a series of massive explosions. The blinding lights on the screen showcased the intensity of the battle.

"Report! The energy fluctuations from both beasts in this battle have reached the late stage of level 8. No, wait, the peak of level 8..."

"Report! The battle has paused, and neither side is injured."

"Damn, it looks like they\'re communicating."

Among the crowd’s stunned silence, the big screen showed the two draconic beasts entering the sea one after the other, then disappearing.

"Sir! The two beasts have entered the sea and are no longer observable."

Watching the screen where the two colossal beasts disappeared, everyone felt a chill down their spines.

A king level colossal beast was already a headache for humanity. Now another level 8 mythical creature descendant had appeared, and they had seemingly become allies.

This was different from the previous incident with Thunder Fiery. Last time, it had lingered on the island to eat after battle, which had given them plenty of time to decide whether or not to deploy orbital weapons. This time, the battle had ended too quickly, not giving them much time to react.

The Senior Colonel looked at the screen with a serious expression. After a brief silence, he said, "Compile today\'s information into a report and send it to Central."

This situation was beyond his level of authority. It was best to leave it to the higher-ups to worry about.

***

The moment they entered the sea, the feeling of being watched that had been bothering the Thunder Fiery Colossal Beast immediately disappeared.

Its eyes showed a serious expression. It was aware that humans had been monitoring it. It would’ve changed its base a long time ago, but the growth crystals nearby had been too important to leave behind.

As soon as the two dragon beasts entered the sea, the Single-horned Kun cautiously swam over with soft squeaks.

Squeak, squeak, squeak! Thunder Fiery, are you guys done fighting?

The Deep Sea Dragon Turtle, still nursing its injuries, swam over as well, gazing at the Silver Dragon with a blend of awe and misfortune. It felt unfortunate that Thunder Fiery didn\'t thoroughly defeat the dragon beast.

Roar! After our fight today, Saixitia and I, your king, have come to know each other better. Thus, we plan to join forces and... no, to establish a colossal beast empire centered around our dragon palace in the ocean.

The Thunder Beast then introduced the Silver Dragon to its companions. Roar! Saixitia, this is the Single-horned Kun, also known as Big Horn, the General of the Dragon Palace, responsible for patrolling our territory daily.

Next, it pointed to the Dragon Turtle with its claw.

Roar! This is Baxia, the Dragon Turtle, responsible for handling the daily affairs of the Dragon Palace, such as collecting growth crystals from the island and gathering resources from other places.

Roar! Those four orcas are Big Horn\'s family, also members of the Dragon Palace. They usually guard the island\'s surroundings.

Roar! I see. The Silver Dragon nodded in realization. No wonder it had encountered the Kun a distance away from here; it had been patrolling the territory.

It seemed that although the Dragon Palace only had a few members, its territory was vast.

While the Thunder Beast was fooling the Silver Dragon, the Kun and the Dragon Turtle looked at each other, somewhat bewildered.

King, Dragon Palace, General, Chancellor... What are these?

At that moment, the Thunder Beast gave the two a look and growled. Roar! From today onward, our Dragon Palace will have two Dragon Kings. Everyone, let’s welcome the Silver Colossal Dragon!

Boom boom boom!

Thunderous echoes reverberated as the Thunder Beast clapped its mighty claws, sending shockwaves rippling violently through the surrounding seawater and echoing throughout the seabed.

Roar! Welcome, Dragon King Saixitia, to the Dragon Palace.

Squeak squeak squeak! Welcome, welcome!

Squeak squeak squeak!

Even the four orcas joined in on the fun, squeaking and creating an atmosphere that made the Silver Dragon feel quite comfortable.

However, the Silver Dragon then growled. Roar! Ao Batian, now that we are both Dragon Kings of the Dragon Palace, who will give orders in the future?

It seemed this creature wasn\'t so easy to deceive after all.

The Thunder Beast kept a calm facade. Roar! I have no interest in power. I only like to fight. From now on, the Dragon Palace will naturally be led by you.

Roar! But if you become the leader of the Dragon Palace, your responsibilities will also be greater. For example, you will need to lead everyone in battles, expand the territory, and collect resources to keep the Dragon Palace running. Additionally, you will need to train your subordinates to improve their combat abilities.

Roar! So, Saixitia, are you ready to become the leader of the Dragon Palace?

The Silver Dragon immediately roared with excitement. Roar!No problem! The great Saixitia will bring you glory and lead you to conquer this undeveloped world.
