Chapter 233 Black Snake and Leviathan
Fitzaz Deep, the deepest area in the world, located in the Maria Trench.

Of course, it wasn't called that in those days.

After the White King's Rebellion had just ended, Nidhogg used his own bones and blood to create four pairs of brothers, and divided the authority of earth, wind, water and fire among them.

And here is the bedroom of the king of the ocean and water, Leviathan and the black snake.

##
"In fact, I have always been curious about why the Black King separated his power. In my understanding, the dragon race is a race that pursues power and strength... Nidhogg, as the pinnacle, actually weakened himself and created his own kind... Could it be that He also feels the sorrow of blood?"

Caesar sat on the back of the black dragon, flying through the clouds and falling into the deep sea. He patted the scales under his body with interest and spoke as if he was attending a seminar.

"Maybe." The black dragon opened its jaw, its sharp teeth showing ferociously, but the voice that came out was childish and inconsistent with its image.

The falling wind was blocked out, allowing Caesar to hear His words clearly.

“As the world’s first intelligent life, Nighold may have done all this out of loneliness. But in comparison, I prefer to believe that this is his duty.”

"Duty?" Caesar was interested in hearing this modern term.

"Yes."

The black dragon said calmly: "Although you, the half-bloods who call yourself the Secret Party, have always put dragon slaying first, you have also studied our civilization and abilities through some of the documents that have been passed down."

"But I'm afraid you don't know much about Nidhogg, except for the prophecy of his demise."

He folded his membrane wings and dived into the dark sea.

Several extinct fish that had only been seen in atlases swam past.

Caesar subconsciously blocked his breathing, but soon realized that he was still in a cavity that was isolated from interference.

The light and brightness were diluted in the sea water, floating in spots on the upper layer, as if the starry sky was pulled closer.

Caesar looked at the abyss that was getting closer and closer from a nearly vertical angle, and suddenly he had the urge to smoke. But after searching for a long time, he couldn't find even the half pack of low-quality cigarettes in the orphanage.

Taking his hands out of his pockets, Caesar continued, "Why don't you continue? To be honest, I never thought that one day I would be able to communicate with a dragon so harmoniously. It feels quite novel."

The black dragon let out a long roar that sounded like a roar, and it also sounded like it was laughing.

"Okay."

He said, “It just so happens that I haven’t communicated with outsiders for a long time.”

The membrane wings attached to the body surface opened again, and the surging water flow slowed down their sinking speed.

"If you want to understand Nidhogg and his responsibilities, you must first understand what is the difference between him and us?"

Caesar raised his eyebrows when he heard this, "Stronger?"

“This is just the most superficial.”

Black Dragon said calmly.

"Like you, even those of us who are honored as the first generation of dragon kings are essentially just a kind of creature."

"Even if we are unique in that we die and come back to life, it cannot be the reincarnation of the soul. It must conform to the logic of biology and genetics."

"The so-called egg is a part of our body that we cut off on the day of resurrection. It contains complete genes and past memories, allowing us to hatch and be reborn after a long time after being killed."

Caesar was stunned for a moment when he heard these words.

Being able to hatch a new individual through a part of the torso... He thought of stem cells in the human body. Although the difference is huge, there are indeed some similarities.

Caesar paused for a moment: "What about the Black King?"

The black dragon swung its tail, extending it out of the cavity and stirring up the water.

"Nidhoggr..."

He felt somewhat helpless and full of emotion.

"Rather than saying He is a living being, it's better to say He is just a life, a planetary life."

Caesar was puzzled: "Is there a difference?"

"Of course! Although He has the same flesh and blood as us, He is beyond all living things. He is the embodiment of the world's consciousness, the component of the ecosystem, and the foundation that will never disappear. He will live forever in this world, and even if He dies, the world will create another one."

The black dragon spoke, but his childish words sounded like an ancient chant.

"Another one comes..." Caesar chewed on this sentence, thinking of Nidhogg who was killed on the throne in the documents. Many thoughts rose and fell in his mind.

And the Black Dragon continued to speak.

"so……"

"As the embodiment of the world's will, Nidhogg is born with the mission of making the world prosperous."

"He gave rise to all things, allowing his vast genetic resources to evolve into different species. At the same time, he used himself as a template to create a race that was most similar to himself, and named it Dragon."

"He also separated the earth, wind, water and fire, and used the clear elements to create all things from chaos. He also used the White King to carry the spirit, thereby guiding wisdom and making everything not deceiving ignorance."

Caesar was stunned, and tapped the scales with his fingers: "Why does he sound like a very positive character?"

"front?"

The black dragon sneered: "Humans imagine a benevolent angel who strips away all sins and throws them to hell and the devil...but they never know that the God sitting in heaven also has another name for Satan."

"Good and evil are one?" Caesar distilled the core essence from a large pile of information.

"Why do you humans always like to define everything as good or evil?"

The black dragon used its membrane wings to split the rocks on both sides of the rift, and smoothly passed through the complex terrain of the seabed.

"To use a modern example, would you call the killing of NPCs in a game a sin? For Nidhogg, the world is a huge playground he created."

"Cruel or merciful, it's just a different path it chooses to pass. That's all!"

Caesar narrowed his eyes.

Thoughtful.

"But is it okay for you to tell me this?"

"It's just some common sense... Besides, you may not have the chance to speak up."

Caesar didn't comment, straightened his back after sitting for a long time, and asked casually with a smile: "By the way, you are the sleeping dragon in Brixham, right? You made such a big fuss, I don't know what you want to do?"

"What for? I'm just performing a big situation drama for my brother." The Black Dragon said, and suddenly his membrane wings stopped and he made a landing gesture.

elder brother?

Su Beixun?

Caesar raised his eyebrows when he learned from the incident in the Three Gorges that the Dragon Kings were twins.

He was about to say something else, but a ray of light suddenly came into his sight!

The pitch-black seabed firmly occupied his sight.

Caesar was speechless.

Even though he had seen the city towering in the clouds, this complex of buildings built at the bottom of the abyss was in no way inferior in comparison!

A whale so huge that it is beyond imagination is slowly moving at the bottom of the abyss. On its back stands a magnificent building complex with carved beams and painted buildings, and palaces with laurel and orchids. A white transparent film wraps the entire building, separating the sea water from them.

Everything doesn't look dim.

Glowing particles float around the whale, swaying in the water in all colors.

The most shining ones gathered together, starting from a few thousand meters away, paving a wide road, bypassing the dragon-carved pillars in front of the palace, and leading directly to the open steps behind the closed door. Caesar had been to many dragon sites, and although he could get a glimpse of the magnificence of the civilization from the ruins, the impact they brought when they emerged from the years was still dazzling.

But what Caesar found most incredible was… their material!
Whale bases, jellyfish films, coral embellishments, bony buildings, and even the glowing particles are translucent swollen-headed fish.

This is a living palace built with living things!
Caesar couldn't help but wonder: "Could there be such a dragon ruin buried under the Fitchaz Abyss in reality?!"

But the black dragon shook his head and denied it: "No, it disappeared a long time ago."

He and Caesar gazed at the palace together, their golden eyes filled with sadness and nostalgia.

After a long time, he waved his membrane wings again, followed the shining road that looked like a ribbon, and pushed open the bone door that seemed to have been sealed for a long time.

Caesar couldn't help but be curious and looked around.

The decoration inside the palace was very plain, with only some bone tools of unknown use. Looking up, the height from the ceiling to the ground was at least 50 meters.

Caesar was led by the black dragon and walked around the complex passage with ease, and came to a "room" with an ice-blue glowing mollusks on the floor.

"That is……"

Caesar saw a very familiar looking dragon with fallen scales and blood lying on a huge turtle shell that looked like jade.

"...the me in the past...is also the me in brother's memory." Black Dragon responded in a low voice.

Sudden.

There was an unobstructed noise behind me.

Caesar looked back.

They saw a huge shadow passing by, ignoring the dragon and the man.

"Can't you see us?"

Caesar frowned and reached out to grab the black shadow, and sure enough, his hand passed directly through the dense scales.

His face suddenly darkened.

He came here to get rid of Su Beixun's consciousness hidden behind his surface memories... But if he can't even make contact, how can he achieve his goal?
"blacksnake……"

Before he could think too much, a loud voice drew Caesar out of his trance.

##
"Black Snake, don't stay here any longer. If you're unhappy, I can fight back with you."

A dragon that looked similar but was obviously larger than the black dragon parted the sea water.

His body gradually became thinner as he moved, his scales shrank, and finally he became a humanoid shape, with only a narrow, ferocious, iron-wrapped tail left behind.

The black snake on the turtle shell used its membranous wings to cover its entire injured body.

"No need! One day I will eat both of those guys! When I recover from my injuries, I will definitely..."

He roared angrily, and the king's pressure made all creatures, including whales, swim in panic.

The humanoid dragon put his hand on His cold scales and said jokingly, "Calm down. You never win a fight with Him, do you?"

"Leviathan!"

Black Snake was so angry that he didn't even call his brother: "Norton built the city on our territory, and not only did you not care, you also poured cold water on me!"

The more He thought about it, the angrier He became.

In the system of power and authority, he holds the authority of the ocean and possesses the strongest vitality. However, this makes him the most difficult to kill among all the kings. In terms of strength alone, he is only slightly stronger than the disabled dragon Jörmungandr.

Leviathan, who holds the power, is a rare moderate in the entire dragon clan. He never cares about anything unless it involves his fundamental interests.

This made Black Snake very dissatisfied!

"What territory?" Leviathan smiled helplessly: "Don't talk like those stupid beasts in the mountains... It's just the waters deep in the land, and we can't control it normally."

"But all the water in the world should belong to us!"

The black snake was unwilling to give up. Thinking of what happened when it went to find Norton, it was so angry that even the scales on its neck stood up.

“That Norton guy actually said that building a city in the water had the permission of Jörmungandr… That greedy female dragon definitely wants to occupy the rivers on land as her own!”

The black snake's sharp claws pressed cracks into the turtle shell.

Leviathan could only smile bitterly and slowly comfort him.

Among the four great kings——

Norton and Constantine, who represent fire, have a good relationship with Jörmungandr and Fenrir, who represent earth.

The King of Sky and Wind was a loner and his whereabouts were unknown for many years.

The two brothers spent most of their time in the abyss and seldom met other members of the same clan. However, Black Snake and Norton had different personalities and they would always fight when they met.

"Well, there's no need to fight with the madman. Let Odin do the worrying."

Leviathan pushed aside the membrane wings and placed his hand under the black snake's eyelids, stroking it while looking at the pair of golden pupils.

"Odin?" The black snake's pupils moved downward, focusing on the tiny human body.

"Yes."

Leviathan put his forehead against the black snake scales and whispered, "You know, Norton has been dissatisfied with Odin's title of the bravest warrior for a long time. I think they will fight to the death soon."

"Humph! They are all bad!"

The black snake snorted coldly, but after venting his anger, he lost his temper. His body also gradually changed into a humanoid form, but he was much younger than Leviathan in age.

He jumped off the turtle shell and grabbed the scales placed nearby and put them on his body.

He raised his head and saw the faint red in the depths of Leviathan's golden pupils. He frowned and asked, "Is the situation still not getting better? Should we go find the White King? He controls the spirit."

"No need."

Leviathan pressed his temple with the heel of his palm and narrowed his eyes: "That guy is quite ambitious. Who knows what will happen if I ask him for help."

He put his palm down, suppressed his irritation, and smiled at the black snake.

"Let's go, while there's still time, go to other seas and find some good dragons to train. I have a feeling... the war will come soon."

"Really?"

Black Snake instantly became excited, his young face showing an impatient and ferocious expression: "As long as there is chaos, I can take advantage of the war to get rid of Norton!"

"If I find the opportunity, I will help you." Leviathan said softly.

But the black snake turned his head away, not appreciating it at all: "No need! I am enough!"

Walk out of the bony palace.

The two stood behind the jellyfish film and looked at the glittering fish swimming around them.

The huge whale swung its tail and slowly tilted at a small angle toward the abyss.

"By the way, how about changing your place of stay?"

Black Snake suddenly said, "I'm almost tired of this place!"

"Okay, it's all up to you."

Leviathan smiled and touched His head, then was knocked away by the black snake.
