Chapter 236 Leviathan

Over time, the warm current gradually flows from the equator to the poles.

The time in the dream is really chaotic, with key memory nodes as the connection. The empty experiences in the middle seem to be compressed into a clipped movie, which is quickly cut away in a blink of an eye.

……

In the ocean near the North Pole.

Whales arched out of the ice, revealing their palaces above the surface. The jellyfish membrane faded and fell off, allowing the sun to penetrate the cold bones directly.

"Hey! Are you okay? Why do you look more and more serious?"

The black snake transformed into a humanoid form, sitting in a garden-like coral colony. It accidentally saw Leviathan's eyes, frowned and asked.

"No, it's fine."

Leviathan put down his palm and leaned against the coral to stretch his body easily. But the redness in his eyes became deeper and deeper, and even his pupils slowly turned into blood-gold.

"Leviathan, what's going on?"

Black Snake stood up, stared at the other party's eyes, and asked: "Has the Black King manipulated your mind?"

His face was gloomy as he spoke, and it was obvious that he did not have a good impression of the Black King.

"Not really." Leviathan denied softly.

He crossed his arms and narrowed his eyes. He thought about this question for a long time. "Scarlet eyes... this feature does not match Nidhogg."

"But apart from him, who else can attack you without us noticing?" Black Snake sneered.

Leviathan was silent.

Speechless.

"Come out of your cocoon, brother." The black snake looked at him solemnly: "Rebirth once, perhaps I can wash away this influence."

Cocooning?
Leviathan leaned back against the coral, raised his head, and weighed the pros and cons.

But suddenly, He was slightly startled.

——Through the thick clouds, in a trance, the bright orange-yellow sun seemed to turn into a scarlet eye.

But in the blink of an eye, all the abnormalities disappeared.

Subconsciously pressed his head.

Leviathan sighed and straightened up: "I know, I will prepare now."

Although He was not optimistic about this method, as the symptoms became more and more serious, any method was worth a try.

##
"What happened to Him?"

Caesar also stayed in the coral jungle with the black dragon. He listened to the conversation not far away and asked curiously: "Could the Dragon King also get sick?"

"I'm sick? Oh, this is much more serious than being sick!"

The Black Dragon looked at Leviathan who flew back to the hall, his brow ridge shifted towards the middle, and he still looked confused when mentioning this matter.

"To be honest, even now, I still don't understand what happened in my brother's mind?"

He broke off a piece of coral and rubbed it into powder, as if he was telling a story, or asking a question.

"I don't remember exactly when it started, but my brother would occasionally dream of strange things when he was sleeping. They were so bizarre that I couldn't even describe their specific meaning. I could only remember the scarlet light that seemed to drown everything."

"It's incredible, isn't it?" The black dragon's golden eyes were a little obscure, "A first-generation species would actually dream of no trace like humans and lose absolute control over itself."

Caesar scratched his messy hair in the cold wind. He wanted to say that he could remember the content of his dream after he woke up, but after looking at the black dragon, he swallowed the words back into his throat.

——Forget it, none of this matters.

"What happened next?" he asked. "Didn't you check it?"

"Of course I checked it. I used my spirit to connect with Him, but the result was that everything was normal, nothing unusual."

The Black Dragon sighed, a little regretful: "Perhaps the White King can find the problem... But as you can see, because the symptoms were mild at the time, my brother rejected this proposal."

talking.

He spread his membrane wings and flew into the palace with himself in his memory.

Inside the hall, Leviathan's body was gradually collapsing, transforming into a majestic water element, and forming an egg-shaped cocoon with the flesh and blood that had been cut off in advance.

"The initial cocooning was fine. Although the symptoms did not improve, there were no side effects either... But after that incident, everything was different."

There was a hint of pain and regret in the Black Dragon's tone.

"My brother will completely lose his previous memories after he transforms into a cocoon, and he will not be able to remember them no matter what. Even after each rebirth, he is being eroded more and more seriously."

"Erosion?" Caesar was surprised.

"That's right. Whether it's his personality, tone of voice, or his behavior towards external things... they are all slowly changing into something else."

Caesar frowned and hesitantly uttered two words: "Parasite?"

He subconsciously thought of this reason, just like when the iron wire worm parasitizes cockroaches, it will control them to drown and die.

But then he shook his head ridiculously and asked another question: "What do you mean by [that thing]?"

But once again, the Black Dragon did not answer.

He just lay silently beside the trembling eggs.

Quietly waiting for the rebirth of Leviathan...

##
Time is like the tide, gradually disappearing in the ups and downs.

Leviathan, who was reborn from the egg, remained unchanged. His pupils seemed to be casting golden light over a pool of blood.

"There's no other way! Let's go find Nidhogg." Black Snake compromised helplessly after trying all his skills.

Although he hated the arrogant emperor, he had to admit that he was indeed omnipotent in the world.

"Wait a moment." Leviathan used a stream of water to clean the mucus on his body. "Our emperor just experienced a rebellion and is not in a good mood right now."

"That's right." Black Snake nodded.

He turned around and was about to leave, but Leviathan suddenly called him from behind.

"Hey, Ziyi."

"What?" The black snake shuddered uncomfortably upon hearing the name.

Leviathan was silent for a moment, then smiled: "What if one day I become unrecognizable to you?"

The palace suddenly became quiet.

The black snake slowly lowered its head.

"I won't let you disappear...I promise."

……

time flies.

The bronze pillars stood tall again.

The fallen buildings were also quickly restored after the war.

Trees grew and the magma that erupted cooled into rock layers.

Except for the cold and broken skeletons still standing in the wilderness, nothing seemed to have changed.

During these six eras, the world became increasingly prosperous, all things flourished, and various civilizations rapidly reached their peak.

The Black King stayed on the top of the mountain with his eyes closed.

until that day.

The dozing Nidhogg suddenly flew down from his throne and coldly parted the icy sea that imprisoned the White King's skeleton. He nailed the still active bones to bronze pillars and sank them into the volcano, completely destroying the White King's body and soul. He then swallowed the remaining ashes and took back all the power that had been given to the White King.

……

Leviathan, who was near the pole, walked out of the palace and saw this scene from afar. He whispered something to the black snake, then spread his membrane wings and flew towards Nidhogg.

##
"Aren't you going to catch up?" Caesar couldn't help but urge.

He was interested in what might happen next.

But Black Dragon seemed to be uninterested: "Anyway, nothing can be changed. It doesn't make any sense whether I go or not."

Caesar raised his eyebrows: "From what you said, it's a bad ending?"

The black dragon snorted, and when he saw his past self waiting in the hall, he flew to the side room, climbed onto the white jade tortoise shell, and stretched out comfortably on it.

After a moment, He said to Caesar meaningfully: "The throne is about to change."

"The throne? Change?"

Caesar subconsciously looked in the direction of Nidhogg and asked in disbelief, "You mean... the Black King?"

The Black Dragon did not deny it. He raised his chin and asked, "From what you know about the history of the Dragon Clan, how many wars have there been?"

"Twice." Caesar recalled the records of the Gattuso family: "The White King rebelled, and the four kings joined forces to kill Nidhogg."

He saw the black dragon's disdainful expression, paused, and asked: "What? Is there a problem?"

"Of course."

The black dragon stretched out its front claws, revealing three sharp nails, and swung them in front of Caesar: "That's three times. Between the rebellion of the White King and the kings, there was another war that has never been recorded."

"I'd like to hear more about it!" Caesar sat up straight.

The black snake pointed to the sky and said, "Humans should understand this very well... In your philosophy, the world will continue to develop and will not remain unchanged. Therefore, Nidhogg will not sit on the throne of emperor forever."

"When Nidhogg developed the dragon civilization he created to its peak and gradually solidified it, the mission the world had entrusted to him came to an end."

"And in order to further develop itself, the world began to breed another life to take over Nidhogg's position."

"Wait... wait a minute!" Caesar suddenly felt a little creepy when he heard this: "Are you saying that the planet under our feet has its own consciousness?!"

"maybe."

Black Dragon was noncommittal: "Or maybe, in fact, everything in the world has long been fixed in a specific fate, and all encounters and changes are destined."

Caesar's face turned ugly. He hated the words of fate and destiny that were used to comfort himself by incompetent people the most.

But Heilong didn't care what he was thinking. He changed the subject and continued talking.

"Nidhogg sensed this fate, but he was unwilling to let it end there and fulfill the wish of another guy who had nothing to do with him."

"then……"

"War is inevitable!"

Through the cold bone wall, the black dragon looked at the ocean that imprisoned the White King: "In order to deal with this war, He specially took back all of the White King's power."

"In fact, if He wasn't worried that the violent rebellion would make it difficult for Him to recover before the war came, He would have wanted to take back all the power of the four kings."

The black dragon sneered: "At the same time, because he wants to accumulate strength, he hopes that Leviathan will eat me in exchange for healing, so that he can breed more dragons for him with the highest efficiency."

Caesar was stunned. He was speechless for a moment, thinking of the scene of Nidhogg hitting the ice back and forth after the death of the White King, and murmured in a low voice: "I thought... He had feelings for you."

"Feelings? Oh, of course He has them."

The black dragon opened its mouth, revealing its sharp white teeth.

"But Nidhogg loves himself more than anything else! Even if he is his first creation and the White King who has been with him the longest... As long as the other party covets his position, he will never show mercy."

The Black Dragon snorted coldly and stopped talking. He lowered his neck and turned his head to the side.

Far away.

It seemed that I heard two loud dragon roars, a dull collision, and the sound of raging waves.

His claws subconsciously clenched on the turtle shell.

##
"Leviathan?! What happened? You and Nidhogg got into a fight?!"

Seeing Leviathan torn all over, with only a skeleton left on half of his body, the black snake was stunned and anxiously carried him on his back.

"It's nothing... just the healing process. Don't worry."

Leviathan smiled weakly, touched the scales of the black snake, struggled a few times, and then lay weakly on the black snake's body.

"Put me down, it's okay, this kind of injury is not fatal to us."

The black snake looked at the cross-section that was frozen so that no blood could flow out, and gently placed it on the ground.

"Sorry, can you help me find some descendants of the White King? There should be some survivors." Leviathan whispered to Black Snake.

"Descendant of the White King? Is there no cure for Nidhogg?"

"No, just to strengthen my spirit."

The black snake nodded after hearing this, and forced blood to seep out from its body, dripping into Leviathan's mouth. After his injuries healed a little, he said, "I understand. You should have a good rest."

He flew out of the palace.

Leviathan watched the black snake disappear into the distance, his pupils narrowed slightly as their reddening pupils deepened, and no one knew what he was thinking.

……

The sun rises and sets.

After two cycles of sun and moon, the black snake finally came back.

"Here! The survivors with the highest bloodline levels are all here."

The black snake fell back to the ground, and the descendants of the White King who were floating beside it also fell from the sky.

"Are they all human?" Leviathan frowned as he looked at the men, women, young and old who were kneeling on the ground and kowtowing.

He knew that the White King had united with humans for the war and had bestowed a lot of blood upon them, but their weak constitutions could not bear so much power.

"We can't help it. All the dragon bloodlines were eaten. I searched everywhere and only found this batch." Black Snake explained, "How is it? Can it be used?"

"…It should be possible." Leviathan said after thinking for a moment.

He wanted to stand up, but just as he lifted his scales from the ground, he fell back down again. He could only smile bitterly: "Can you take me to a quiet place? Together with these humans."

"Tsk... I understand."

The black snake controlled the water flow to lift up Leviathan, and casually swept the humans in, sending them to the room at the top of the palace.

"Excuse me. Go and have a rest. You must be tired after flying around."

"Don't you want me to stay here?"

"No need, I'll take care of it." Leviathan shook his head and refused.

The black snake looked at Him and turned away: "It's up to you."

Bang~
The huge bone door closed tightly, separating the inside and the outside.

The rounded stones inlaid in the walls glowed slightly, gently lighting up the entire huge room.

The humans, dizzy from the water, coughed violently. The old man in the lead knelt down in fear, pressed his forehead to the ground, and said in a trembling voice, "King! Please give me your orders!"

Leviathan leaned down and stared at the other party with his strangely colored pupils: "I need you to use your spirit to suppress my consciousness."

"what?!"

The old man thought he had heard wrongly.

He carefully raised his head, and after confirming from Leviathan's eyes that he was serious, he said bitterly: "But... Your Majesty... Our spirit is insignificant compared to yours, there is nothing we can do..."

"If you can't do it, go to hell." Leviathan interrupted coldly, "If you can't be a capable minister, then be used as food! Haha, I think you can be of some use to me, right?"

The old man had no choice but to nod bitterly.
