Chapter 73: A Meeting of Proportions
Note: A previous unedited version of this chapter was accidentally posted (and thanks to website issues on Webnovel’s side, not mine, kept up for a while) The correct version has been released, again, after the staff fixed the site The delay was beyond my control
At the sa the corpses of the dead hu across the cold ground, very far away, an epic battle was about to reach its conclusion
The Lesser Planet of Tella was sparsely populated, and for good reason The entire world was doe oases spread out This planet was under the control of the Graal Alliance, a large-scale alliance of beasts and beastlike-huhly 6,000 planets
On this planet, a battle had been raging for days, of such devastating proportions that the weather of the entire globe was affected
Huge, whirling thunderstor and thunder Fierce gusts of wind raised sizable sandstor the world into chaos
On the northern side of the planet, there existed a s out haphazardly The Poll Mountains
This e had radically transfor craters spotted the earth, dozens of e holes could be seen drilled into some mountains, while others had their tops coy covered the area, interacting with the weather and creating lightning storerous tornadoes
At the center of this devastatedon the ground quietly White essence bled off this huge creature as it shivered, its head slowly rising
Its body was i It was shaped like a vast, enorolden fur covering its upper half A pair of large, feathered white wings e body, currently pulled in tightly The mouth, and face, of this creature were a pale white, and draconic in nature
A Heavenly Quetzalcoatl
One that was so badly injured it was unable to
The feathered serpent’s eyes twitched as its head turned, focusing on a creature off in the distance
A 50 meter tall Divine Golden Lion
The Secondborn, Zero
The lion’s beautifultears and burns Despite that, faint sparks of light flowed co its majestic air, and it stepped forith confidence
A faint, inco around its head
"Fourthborn Your defiance was ads must come to an end&8221;
Zero’s voice was cal the air itself as he spoke He began to sloalk forward, his eyes zeroing in on the legendary creature
The higher class a Bloodline, the h the blood itself For Zero to absorb the Heavenly Quetzalcoatl, he would need to absorb the beast enits Soul Spell Matrix So Class creatures, like the Heavenly Quetzalcoatl, didn’t even bleed blood, while others bled blood, but would require so much to form a complete bloodline that it would essentially require their death, or a long, continuous bleeding session
Even then, ical properties shortly after leaving the body, becoic was sih for their bloodlines to re their body
The Heavenly Quetzalcoatl didn’t respond, relared at the Divine Golden Lion quietly
The lion sighed,
"I understand your view on perfection requires silence I also understand I will not be able to convince you to give your life up to ly&8221; He shook his torn mane quietly,
"Nevertheless, I must still absorb you I cannot reach the culle one of the bloodlines Father gifted the world slip past ain, his voice sincere,
"I am sorry it has to be this way&8221; The lion bowed its head slightly, still walking forward
It stopped, just a few dozenfeathered serpent
Just as Zero was about to say so completely unexpected happened
Froround, between the lion and the dying serpent
This ht brown fur, and earing a set of sie, loose necklace of red beads, each one the size of a s red staff, with a quarter of a old )
Zero stared at theto a halt
The monkey stared back
The Heavenly Quetzalcoatl tried to stare as well, but fell unconscious instead, its internal injuries forcing it under
The monkey spoke,
"I’ lion&8221; Its voice was cheerful and sprightly, far belying the serious situation at hand
"For if I allow that, I will die&8221; The monkey nodded its head solemnly
Zero closed his eyes for a brief loith a powerful white light The air around Zero began to distort, reality itself twisting as a y covered his body
"Na, the sense of ht and power that rolled off him an unstoppable wave of Aura
The monkey smiled A rich, blue Halo forainst the heavy Aura, unmoved
He returned a sentence with 4 words
"I a those 4 words, the ra thunderstor abruptly froze, co to a still The planet entered a state of deathly stillness, the weather fading
As Zero faced off against Sun Wukong
A le-handedly forced him to a draw
A beast born with a divine Ability never before seen in the 30,000 Worlds
The Eyes of God, a power that let him see the best possible course of action in any and every situation, in any moment, and showed him exactly what he needed to do to follow it and succeed, as well as the consequences and results An Ability that not only h Fate entirely
Sun Wukong, The Monkey King
The Alhty Ruler of the Graal Alliance
Dorian tapped a toe against one of the Grakon corpses The now dead undead was covered in large burns that seared into its body, h scales that coated it The corpse was badly nizable as a Grakon
‘Ausra, is the Soul Spell Matrix of the Grakon still present?’ He …’
‘No’
Dorian blinked at the unexpected answer Usually, the Soul Spell Matrix of a beast would remain present after its death, at least for twenty or thirty minutes After that tiic, the creature would be liable to have their Matrix dissipate
He looked at the corpse, not understanding
‘Maybe the dae it took was too severe?’ If a body was destroyed badly enough, the Soul Spell Matrix could fall away directly, without staying behind
He checked the rest of the Grakons and got the same odd result The Soul Spell Matrixes, or the splintered reone
It wasn’t a total waste, however Dorian ic sword artifacts the Grakons carried, perfectly intact He found a couple ed, but most of they from each of these, pleased with the results

Growth Progress &8211; 58,842/2,845 &8211;
&8211;
‘Not bad’ The energy gains were there He only had about fifteenhis Solar Rock Lizard form
Dorian skittered off towards the downed humans and vampires They were covered in the saruesome to look at
Much like the Grakons, none of their Soul Spell Matrixes remained either, an oddity However, their bodies still had blood in them, and Dorian absorbed a few of their bloodlines to check
Their bloodlines were still intact, but Dorian already had the species recorded, True Vas, anything they had seemed to have been destroyed in the fierce battle None of their tools were as durable as the ic swords the undead Grakons wielded
Dorian bowed his head for a moment of silence in respect for their deaths, and then turned back down the road, slinking off towards Icicar
He roup of Shades that had left earlier Despite that, he once ht of them as he ran The undead Grakons paid no attention to a tiny baby lizard like hi as he was careful
His speed now outpaced his speed in his Ifrit forap in size and power He was able to run at full speed here in his tiny lizard for as an Ifrit
Seconds turned to minutes, and soon the last 15 minutes had passed
‘Soul Adaptation period co softly in his ed to cross the last re over a good two hundred or so wandering Grakons The closer he got the city, the larger the groups of Grakonsabout
He didn’t find any other expedition teams Most of the explorers that set off for Blizzaria would stay on the outskirts of the cave syste to the es and towns in the outer portions of the Western Cave System, many of them rife with natural treasure or rare resources, left behind by the fallen race, or spawned in naturally by nature
‘Alright Don’t Evolve me yet’ Dorian ordered as he looked forward Ausra could hold off on evolving hi as he didn’t switch fory points suppressing his growth
Standing right in front of him was the exit of the Great Road, and the entrance to the Cavern of Ice, where the City Icicar could be found
The Great Road was a wide, open and long cave passage It exited into a vast cavern that stretched for dozens of e, open plain divide by those pillars Ice and frost covered large portions of the ground, as did the Pour the area up
The exit was just a hole in the wall, albeit a five hundred meters wide and several hundred meters tall hole in the wall A few Grakons could be seen standing in the uard
Dorian snuck out past the hole by cli the side of the cave, his tiny body virtually undetectable He scampered forward several hundred meters, and then several thousandhimself a safer location
A collection of stone ruins, built into the wall of the Cavern of Ice spread out around Dorian as he settled in, sitting atop a s he held, placing it on the ground
‘Evolve ht of any potential ene to the 3rd Gro-
‘Evolving to the 4th Growth Stage’ Ausra ran through three notifications as she responded
Dorian’s body ian to expand, his tiny lizard-like forreen color, reon for outith sharp edges Muscles began to pack in on his aron than a lizard
His body growth showed the largest change Fro 4 and a half rowth resulted as he transfor in a sharp spike
"Raaar&8221; Dorian’s throat ruuttural sound He shook out his body, snagging the Spatial Ring he’d set on the ground
The stone pillar he’d been sitting on collapsed slightly, cru to the floor It wasn’t nearly as durable as the Great Road had been
"Oh, I can speak?&8221; Dorian realized, his srin A very hue lizard couldn’t help but look terrifying
"Raaaaaaar I a the new form
&8211; New Ability Gained &8211;
&8211;
Ability: Hyperion Beam
This rare Ability, found in a very li to hypercondense energy in the air into a deadly orb of raer, and then direct this energy in a concentrated beam The destructive potential of this Ability is dependent on the strength and power of the user, and can be increased indefinitely as long as the user continues to hypercondense energy frorinned in delight as he felt the knowledge of the Ability settle in on him This was the only powerful Ability the Solar Rock Lizard had, but one that orth acquiring
Ever since he’d seen the mutated Solar Rock Lizard shoot as essentially a laser beam at him on Taprisha, Dorian had made a mental promise to acquire that power Partly because he wanted to be able to shoot laser bea an attack it was
It matched up evenly with his Eonfire His Emerald Flames were limited in scope, however, while the Hyperion Beahts of power

&8211;
Dorian frowned hard when he saw the energy needed to grow the last stage of the Solar Rock Lizard He remembered, then, that the beast was a Pseudo-Lord Class creature with a bloodline that could naturally reach that level of power
Dorian had never actually acquired a bloodline on its own that reached that stage All of his powerful for with various bloodlines
When he combined bloodlines, he only needed to spend a few thousand points of energy to e them No matter hoerful the Class it resulted in, his forrowth as a result of his unique Soul Spell Matrix
He shrugged He would finish , it was not a worry He had already acquired the most important power froers, and i inward as his Ifrit form reappeared
His Solar Rock Lizard for as his Lord Class Ifrit for his eyes to the west, towards the city he could barely make out in the distance
BOOOOOOOM
THUD
Just as Dorian was about to set out for it, a resounding shockwave shook the air next to hi him backwards
Dorian twisted and fell, head over heels as he flew a dozeninto several stone pillars and destroying the hiilely twisted his body as he forced hiround He tore a small hole in the stone earth as he ca upward in shock
The ruins Dorian had been resting on were built into the side of the huge cavern, right next to one of thein this passage was the largest creature Dorian had ever seen
A one-arhly 220 antic Dorian could not even clearly make out the head of the creature All he could see were a collection of long, pointed horns, and a strange blue glow that was ele are black blade, at least 100and a half dozen round within the ruins The resulting shockwave froe &8211; ii)

Dorian’s eyes opened wide as he looked at the undead being, his entire body freezing, not daring tohis Ifrit for as invisible and unnoticeable as possible
The enorhtly as it turned, glancing down in Dorian’s direction The blue glow from its eyes was clearly visible to Dorian, as were the collection of wide horns on its head, giving it a faintly demonic appearance The back of the creature seemed to be cos
Dorian felt his heart seem to seize over as it looked at him
After a split second, the Giant turned away, its attention focused on the city far in the distance
It began to step forward, its e as it thudded off, stalking forward towards the city in the distanceIf you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc ), Please let us know < report chapter > so we can fix it as soon as possible
