Epic of Ice Dragon: Reborn As An Ice Dragon With A System

Chapter 2410: Clash Of Venerables II [46]

-----

"Thank you for never giving up on me… I'm so happy… I want to meet our husband… is he nice? Is he handsome? Is he kind?"

"He's nice, yes… handsome? Absolutely… and kind? He's the kindest man I've ever met. His heart knows no bounds, and his courage is undying. He can be a little clumsy sometimes, but he learns quickly from his mistakes. He's… a wonderful husband."

"I'm… so happy… what… is his name?"

The goddess was already fading.

"Drake."

The goddess smiled softly, a faint blush coloring her cheeks.

"Drake… my husband… I look forward to being by your side… with… our beautiful daughter…"

"Her name is Yudra."

"Wudra!"

Yudra roared cutely, beaming.

"Yudra… my cute baby…"

The goddess embraced them both one last time before she completely vanished.

The entire cursed dimension shuddered, beginning to transform into pure light.

Amidst the black ashes that dissolved at last, finally allowing Amaterasu's body to rest, an immense surge of power erupted from within her.

There truly had been a part of her soul still lingering there.

She was like Pandemonium and Chaos.

Her body and soul had been one, and now that her decaying vessel had found peace, what emerged from it—the smiling, joyful goddess—finally reunited with her true self in her new form.

Reincarnated once more.

Yuki absorbed all that power. Yudra could not; she was her own being, not Amaterasu.

It seemed her soul was not merely a fragment, but a completely new soul born from that fragment.

In that moment, Yuki regained her powers—and even her Unique Skill.

All of it.

"Wow…"

FLUOSH!

Her Aura exploded with tremendous force, and her daughter seemed to gain some of it too, not by absorbing the goddess but simply through their mother-daughter bond.

"I'm finally complete… I'm finally myself again, and yet I am also Yuki… yes, I love that name. Drake gave it to me, after all."

Yuki smiled gently, her long white hair swaying in the wind.

The cursed dimension did not vanish. It evolved. Amaterasu's power manifested fully, giving birth to a new world.

A small realm of light, golden and white radiance everywhere.

The miasma dissolved, replaced by seas of golden essence. A brilliant sun shone overhead, surrounded by a pristine white heaven.

It was not a vast, complex world like Zipangu, but this was her power.

[Unique Skill: Creation Of Heaven and Earth]

She and her daughter became the rulers of this new World.

Héluna felt it.

Uroboros sensed the change.

Even Oberon, slowly awakening from his slumber, perceived something.

And of course, Hajun noticed it too. His connection to the Cursed Dimension vanished while he faced Drake and the Solar Empress Archetype amid the ruined skies of Zipangu.

"It looks like it's over, Hajun," Drake said. "My beloved wife has reclaimed her true power. She took that dimension back and all the strength you stole from her. Mitsuhide and Maeda are gone. It's just you now—and the old man you're possessing."

"B-BASTARD…! YOU DAMN BASTARDS! ALL OF YOU! I DON'T NEED HER! ZIPANGU WILL GLADLY GIVE ME ALL THE HEAVEN AND EARTH ESSENCE I COULD EVER WANT!"

Hajun roared in fury. He no longer cared that he had lost his link to the Cursed Goddess or that she had rejoined her reincarnation. He still ruled Zipangu. With that Authority, he could drain the entire world. Life on the surface withered instantly. Survivors coughed blood, collapsed, and weakened as villages were drained alongside the land itself. Millions teetered on the brink of death.

"You're truly the worst!" Amaterasu thundered through the Solar Empress Archetype.

FLASH!

The blazing sun above gathered colossal energy and fired a titanic beam straight at Hajun.

"Ngh?!"

The demon panicked, thrusting his hands forward to block the searing sunlight that began burning his flesh. He roared, his golden form surging with divine and demonic power.

"NOT STRONG ENOUGH, AMATERASUUUU!"

He grew larger, resisting the beam more effectively with every second.

Drake gave him no chance. He flashed behind Hajun and unleashed a devastating barrage with both Muramasa and Celestia.

"Hajun! Your time is up!"

SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!

A storm of rainbow-light slashes tore through Hajun's body. His blood sprayed everywhere, burning into ashes as he screamed.

"GAAAAHHHH!"

Unable to block Amaterasu's beam any longer, he was struck full force and sent crashing into Zipangu's surface. An explosion of dust and flame created a crater nearly a kilometer wide.

BOOOMMM!!!

He struggled to rise. Four of his six arms had been severed, coated in rainbow ice and flame, unable to regenerate easily.

Worse still, Drake and Amaterasu were already diving toward him.

Their combined sunlight and elemental aura formed a swirling tornado of brilliant, multicolored energy.

"N-NO…! I AM THE GOD OF ZIPANGUUUU!"

Hajun staggered to his feet. The world trembled as hundreds of colossal hands made of mountains, rivers, and seas rose and surged toward Drake and Amaterasu.

RUMBLE!

"God? You're nothing but a cheap imitation!"

Drake roared. His swords sliced through space and time itself, shredding the gigantic limbs into exploding fragments of rock and ice that rained down, shaking the world below.

His Aura flared in every color, manifesting massive Elemental Dragon Spirits that roared and fused into his Dragonoid body, each arm embodying a different element.

Fire storms rained down. Tsunamis and torrents crashed. Thunder and wind howled. Darkness, shadow, sunlight, holy light, moonlight, and freezing ice—all elements unleashed at once.

"{Primordial Dragon King's Elemental Genesis}!"

Every element grew stronger, infused with rainbow and golden power. Hajun's attacks shattered helplessly against them. Explosions thundered louder and fiercer.

Drake delivered justice. His overwhelming might made the entire world of Zipangu—half the size of Yggdrasil—quake without pause.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

"I-IMPOSSIBLE…! WHAT KIND OF MAGIC IS THIS?!"

Hajun's eyes widened in horror as millions of dragons appeared at Drake's side, firing endless elemental spells that compressed into unstoppable, devastating blasts.

"This is the power of Dragons—Yggdrasil's guardians!"

"BULLSHIT! YOU'RE ALL JUST LIZARDS!"

Hajun gathered every ounce of his strength into a single massive pillar rising from the ground, lifting him toward Drake as he dodged the relentless explosions.

"Well, thank you for coming straight to me. It'll make this easier! Amaterasu, let's go!"

"Yes!"
