Chapter 437: The Wildly Laughing Five-Headed Dragon Queen

Under the protection of the three Winter Commanders, the White Dragon Lord rapidly chanted a spell.

"Gate of the Legion!"

Behind the White Dragon Lord, ice rapidly condensed into a bizarrely shaped door. Within its empty frame, an ice-blue magical vortex spun ceaselessly. High-tier legendary Winter Guards stepped out of the portal one after another, swelling the ranks of the ice elementals.

"Sindona! You will pay the price for your actions!"

The White Dragon Lord attacked the Mother of Lightning, hurling ice elemental spells at her one after another. The three Winter Commanders paired off in bitter struggles against the titans, while the high-tier legendary Ice Elemental Legion provided ranged magical support from afar.

Magical energies of various colors collided in the sky. Waves of intense light illuminated the firmament as violent explosions echoed across the heavens. A highly destructive elemental energy storm covered everything around the battlefield in a layer of frost.

The center of the battlefield was utterly devastated. Space itself fractured in the sky, while the ground below was littered with massive craters, bottomless fissures, earth melted by intense heat, and ice that froze all things.

In the distance, a massive block of ice fell from the sky and crashed into the rippling swamp, splashing water everywhere. The pure ice energy within the block erupted, freezing the splashes in midair. Frost spread rapidly in all directions, completely encasing the water and plants.

A high-tier demonic crocodile fled in panic, kicking up vast amounts of water. Unfortunately, it was caught within the eruption radius of the frost. It was immediately overtaken and submerged by the surging tide of icy energy. When fierce winds blew the permeating cold smoke away, they revealed the completely frozen crocodile.

To ordinary demonic beasts, the shockwaves from an Abomination rank free-for-all were an unstoppable natural disaster. Driven by instinct, the demons and magical beasts of the 71st Layer of the Abyss scrambled to escape the battlefield.

A monster tide broke out!

Demons and demonic creatures—predators and prey on any normal day—now ran side by side as they fled for their lives, desperately trying to escape the calamity falling from the sky.

Further away in this layer of the abyss, adventurers in their camps felt the earth shake and the swamp waters ripple. Every so often, a flash of intense light as magnificent as an aurora streaked across the sky.

They immediately realized that powerhouses were clashing on this plane and bolted toward the teleportation formations. A battle between Abomination rank powerhouses would bring monster tides, earthquakes, floods, and a series of other natural disasters. If the fight grew any more intense, the entire plane could be torn apart and reduced to dust in the void.

At the center of the battlefield, the White Dragon Lord suppressed the Mother of Lightning, but he did not hold an overwhelming advantage. The Mother of Lightning defended resolutely, preventing the White Dragon Lord from landing a fatal blow.

The White Dragon Lord split his attention to sense the other battlefields. Thanks to the magical support from a group of high-tier legendary ice elementals, the Winter Commanders had all gained a certain edge. Fernando was tangled in a fight with the rock titan, Catalina fought the golden titan to a standstill, and Motznovi squared off against the frost whisperer.

Because the Winter Commanders had greater mastery over ice elementals and the support of a large elemental swarm, Motznovi held a very obvious advantage, but finishing off his opponent quickly was out of the question.

He had to force a breakthrough as soon as possible!

The White Dragon Lord thought of the divine artifact, the Emblem of Light. Obtained from the luminous titans, it possessed terrifyingly absurd healing capabilities. He gritted his teeth.

Even if it meant suffering heavy injuries, he had to finish off the Mother of Lightning quickly.

With his mind made up, the White Dragon Lord unleashed his full strength. His flesh and soul cast magic simultaneously, launching ice magic and soul magic together. At the same time, he flapped his wings and sped fiercely toward the Mother of Lightning.

Ice magic, soul magic, the formidable melee abilities of an ancient giant dragon, coupled with the powerful battlefield control assistance of the Gold Finger's Wartime Auxiliary Mode—this was the White Dragon Lord's strongest state.

The Mother of Lightning saw through the White Dragon Lord's intentions and was greatly alarmed. "Are you crazy?!"

As everyone knew, cast spells still needed time to fly before reaching their target. The White Dragon Lord was attempting to cast spells while engaging in close-quarters combat, which would drastically shorten the spells' flight time.

This approach was undoubtedly dancing on the edge of a blade, and the White Dragon Lord was dragging the Mother of Lightning onto it with him.

Although the Mother of Lightning wanted nothing more than to kill the White Dragon Lord, she lacked the resolve to perish alongside him. She rapidly retreated.

The White Dragon Lord ordered the high-tier legendary ice elementals to cast spells to intercept her. Surging ice magic swept toward the Mother of Lightning, forcing her to slow down.

Seeing the White Dragon Lord continue flying straight into the erupting frenzy of ice elemental energy, the Mother of Lightning realized her opponent was ready to risk his life against hers. With the high-tier legendary ice elementals blocking her path, she could not escape.

"You madman! Come then! Let's see who has the last laugh!"

Pushed to a dead end, the Mother of Lightning gave up on fleeing and flew directly toward the White Dragon Lord.

The White Dragon Lord stared fixedly at the Mother of Lightning. At the same time, he sent a command to the distant Ice Elemental Legion, ordering all the ice elementals to temporarily abandon the other battlefields and focus their bombardment on his location.

After a moment of hesitation, the ice elementals obeyed the White Dragon Lord's order, concentrating their ice magical energy to bombard his battlefield.

Legendary frost generated by the high-tier legendary ice elementals permeated the air, rapidly draining the energy of the magical shields on the White Dragon Lord's body. Large-scale magic did not distinguish between friend and foe, but it did not matter. He knew the Mother of Lightning would suffer a greater impact than he would, and that was enough.

As she moved through the freezing air and dodged the ice bullets raining from the sky, a chill settled in the Mother of Lightning's heart. This white dragon was even more deranged than she had imagined. To think he would order his summons to attack him alongside her just to gain a slight edge.

This also proved the White Dragon Lord's determination to kill her. At this point, she could no longer turn back, because doing so would expose her back to the White Dragon Lord, placing her in even greater danger.

"Hah!"

Blinding lightning erupted in the Mother of Lightning's hands. On the other side, the White Dragon Lord also readied magic in his claws.

Amidst the fierce elemental storm, the White Dragon Lord and the Mother of Lightning crashed into each other like Mars striking Earth. The violent elemental blast pushed away the surrounding frost, clearing the sky and revealing the thousands of stars in the firmament above.

In a brief instant, the White Dragon Lord and the Mother of Lightning exchanged hundreds of blows. The White Dragon Lord used his claws, tail, fangs, and even his wings to their absolute limit, unleashing a tempestuous barrage upon the Mother of Lightning and striking the shields on her body until they rumbled violently.

But the Mother of Lightning was no pushover. Pushing the martial talent of the titans to its peak, she swung the Thunder Titan spear in her hands into a blur, thrusting at the White Dragon Lord from every tricky angle imaginable.

Thanks to the Wartime Auxiliary Mode, the White Dragon Lord could always anticipate the Mother of Lightning's attacks. Whenever his physical reactions could not keep up with her speed, he would block with his claws, his tail, or the Emperor's Shield. The nature of the lightning left the White Dragon Lord's claws numb, but the incantations spilling from his mouth never once paused.

He spat a massive ice bullet from his mouth, firing it at the Mother of Lightning at close range. Unable to dodge, the Mother of Lightning could only resort to trading injuries, thrusting the Spear of the Titans straight forward.

The ice bullet struck the Mother of Lightning's forehead and exploded against her skull, blowing open a horrifying, bloody hole. Yet, no blood flowed out, as the surrounding blood had instantly frozen solid.

The Spear of the Titans thrust toward the White Dragon Lord's heart. He dodged, but could not evade completely.

Crack!

With a shattering sound, the Emperor's Shield, having endured far too many attacks, finally reached its limit. As the Emperor's Shield broke, the remaining force of the Spear of the Titans struck the scale on the White Dragon Lord's claw. The scale blocked the spear, but the numbness brought on by the lightning made the White Dragon Lord bare his teeth as he swept his tail sideways.

The Mother of Lightning used the momentum from his tail sweep to retreat. Lightning power surged wildly within her body, instantly dissolving the frost on her forehead.

Once the frost melted, bright red blood flowed from the hole in her forehead. It ran down the Mother of Lightning's face, dyeing half of it red before dripping from her chin. Her eyes, surrounded by bloody streaks, glared fixedly at the White Dragon Lord.

Master tier soul magic—Soul-Perishing Needle!

A translucent needle of soul energy shot out at point-blank range. The Mother of Lightning could not dodge in time and was struck. But the moment the Soul-Perishing Needle hit her, a paper-thin layer of transparent magical energy enveloped it, and the needle merged into the membrane, vanishing completely.

The White Dragon Lord's brow twitched. He had not expected the Mother of Lightning to possess equipment protecting against soul attacks. However, his expression quickly smoothed out; given her level of strength, it was perfectly natural that she could obtain gear to defend against soul magic.

"Hahaha! Didn't expect that, did you, white dragon! I—"

"There's no need to stall for time," the White Dragon Lord interrupted coldly. "You will die here today."

Before he even finished speaking, the White Dragon Lord launched another attack. Even if the Mother of Lightning had equipment to guard against soul attacks, how many hits could it actually take?

The advantage still lay with the White Dragon Lord. He ordered the ice elementals to maintain their large-scale magical bombardment.

Every move the White Dragon Lord made was carefully considered. Close-quarters combat maximized the effectiveness of the Wartime Auxiliary Mode. His resistance to ice magic was higher than the Mother of Lightning's, and the magic from the Ice Elemental Legion would yield further advantages. Accumulating these small advantages would eventually secure the ultimate victory.

Boom!

The White Dragon Lord crashed into the Mother of Lightning once more. His strategy was highly successful; the Mother of Lightning's disadvantage was becoming increasingly obvious.

Finally, the White Dragon Lord found an opening. His claws tore through the defenses on the Mother of Lightning's body, ripping three deep gashes from her shoulder to her neck. The tearing damage was remarkably effective, causing blood to gush out.

Simultaneously, the Mother of Lightning's counterattack landed on the White Dragon Lord, punching a bloody hole into his shoulder.

The Mother of Lightning coughed up a mouthful of blood and stared fiercely at the White Dragon Lord. Seeing the wound on his shoulder brought a sliver of comfort to her heart.

Suddenly, radiant holy light surged from the Emblem of Light, and the injury on the White Dragon Lord's shoulder healed in an instant.

Seeing this, the Mother of Lightning was momentarily stunned. She sensed the aura of a divine artifact once again and felt a jolt of shock, followed immediately by an explosion of envy and bitter hatred. While she did possess some powerful magical gear, it was far too shabby compared to a divine artifact.

Why! This white dragon stepped into the Abomination rank even later than I did. Why does he get to own two divine artifacts!

The moment his wound healed, the White Dragon Lord attacked again.

Using his strategy of trading life for life, the White Dragon Lord severely injured the Mother of Lightning once more. This time, her arm was pierced through by magic, compromising her melee combat ability. He pressed his advantage, and the Mother of Lightning's situation grew increasingly dire.

With a sideways sweep of his tail, he ruthlessly struck the Mother of Lightning's chest. Several ribs snapped, and she flew backward, spitting blood. At the same time, her soul protection equipment reached its absolute limit, and she felt the looming shadow of death.

"His Majesty Astraeus! Save me!"

Just as the White Dragon Lord was about to seize the opportunity to finish off the Mother of Lightning, a Dark Titan Spear suddenly tore through space, descending from the sky.

In terms of size, this titan spear looked no different from an ordinary one. However, its energy condensation was fundamentally distinct. Its profound darkness seemed capable of sucking away a person's very soul.

A sense of being locked onto welled up in the White Dragon Lord's heart. He understood that if he continued his attack on the Mother of Lightning now, he would be impaled by the Dark Titan Spear, putting his own life in peril.

He could accept eliminating the Mother of Lightning at the cost of heavy injuries, but trading life for life was out of the question.

The White Dragon Lord made a prompt decision, rapidly spitting out a spell. The instant the Dark Titan Spear arrived before him, a black hole materialized and sucked it inside.

"Damn it!"

The White Dragon Lord raised his head and gazed at the sky. A swirling portal resembling black smoke had appeared above, and he could feel a tremendous power behind it. Without a doubt, the master of this power was the God of the Dark Titans—Astraeus.

Much like the Five-Headed Dragon Queen, the God of the Dark Titans, Astraeus, was a deity worshipped by the evil faction of titans. He was bellicose and brutal, and his bloody track record had long proven his formidable might. The White Dragon Lord had no confidence in taking him on.

Fortunately, he was not fighting alone.

The very moment the dark titan descended, a will resembling the incarnation of harsh winter arrived through the elemental conduit. In an instant, it was as if winter had claimed the entire 71st Layer of the Abyss. The temperature plummeted, and frost spread across the surface of the swamps.

The Winter Empress and the God of the Dark Titans descended almost simultaneously. Beneath the firmament, the two supreme powerhouses faced off.

The God of the Dark Titans gripped a titan spear that resembled a profound void, with surging divine power rolling around him. His divine might was like a prison, like an endless sea. All the Abomination rank powerhouses felt a considerable amount of pressure.

The Winter Empress wore the Winter Crown, and ice-blue, smoke-like magical energy swirled ceaselessly around her. All the ice elementals in the world cheered, rejoicing at the arrival of their sovereign.

"You actually recovered the Winter Crown! When did this happen?" It was obvious that the God of the Dark Titans knew about the Winter Legion and was acquainted with the Winter Empress; after all, there were only so many supreme powerhouses in the multiverse.

"That is none of your concern."

"Why are you protecting this white dragon?"

Just as the God of the Dark Titans was about to continue speaking, his expression suddenly changed.

At that same moment, Tiamat's voice rang out in the White Dragon Lord's mind.

"Amos, hold him down for me! Hahaha!" Tiamat's wildly arrogant laughter echoed in the White Dragon Lord's head.
