Chapter 1564: Chapter 286: The Dragon King Arrives in Person!
"Can you step in now?"
To the two Dragon Kings, who were utterly shocked and sighing repeatedly, the Immovable Fortress Ian, who was still rubbing orbital weapon ammunition on Dragon Island, expressed a little dissatisfaction: "The battle below has reached this point, even the Sorrow Bell Dragon Wings have shown up, almost declaring himself a sacrifice for the Abyssal Dragon. Isnât it time to capture and interrogate him thoroughly?"
[Itâs not that simple.]
The Galewind Dragon King seemed a bit helpless: [All the Terra People have a bit of Dragon Blood in them, which is the prototype of the Bloodline True Form Sublimation Path. Growing dragon wings can entirely be said to be an atavism or the awakening of a portion of the bloodline.]
[Exactly.]
The True Flame Dragon King clicked his tongue: [The appearance of an Abyssal Dragon isnât judged so simply. At the very least, we need to see a âphotoâ or ârealityâ before we can proceed with the program and descend upon Terra to retrieve it.]
[As for Abyssal Consciousness and Dragonized Demons, while they are indeed evidence, theyâre not definitiveâthey are things Terra People can create on their own.]
[After all, in a place like Terra, there are just too many dragons.]
Indeed. Ian thought about the various dragons and dragon-blood creatures he had encountered along the way and found them to be overwhelmingly numerous.
"So what exactly is the Abyssal Consciousness?"
After confirming that the Dragon Kings could not immediately step in, Ian wasnât too anxiousâbecause their attitude clearly showed they were certain there was already an Abyssal Dragon over in Fiery Flame Land, and something significantly outrageous had been created.
If so, thereâs no worry that they wonât take action because when the most crucial moment arrives, Dragon Island can directly investigate Fiery Flame Land on the grounds of âsuspecting them of privately creating an Abyssal Dragonâ!
What? Evidence? Itâs Fiery Flame Land that needs to supply Dragon Island and all the nations of the Terra Confederation with evidence that they havenât created an Abyssal Dragon!
Also.
As long as Heartbewitcher finds even a little concrete proof, Fiery Flame Landâs Demon Legion will face the personal descent of two Fifth Energy Level Dragon Kings!
[Abyssal Consciousness, or Abyssal Group Consciousness... hmm, you should know essentially, demons are products of Domain of Void subspaces, and Great Demons are those with self-awareness within the subspace, right?]
The Galewind Dragon King always liked speaking in an academic tone. He said slowly: [The subspace of a Great Demon completely degenerates, turning into an Abyss that can never be restored... From then on, every Fourth Energy Level Great Demon can be termed an Abyssal Lord. Within their subspace abyss, they can nurture many âsub-demonsâ belonging to them, thus forming an ecosystem.]
[Sound familiar?]
"Individual ecosystem..." Ian murmured: "Sounds a bit like the Deceased Monarch and Spark, but a bit more lively."
[Exactly.] The Galewind Dragon King glanced towards the South Ridge: [Every Abyssal Lord is a living Demon Nest that continuously produces many powerful demons, just like those Demon Nests in the Terra Starfield, which are essentially the subspaces of a Fourth Energy Level pinnacle Abyssal Lord.]
[But at the end of the day, these are just for self-amusement. Compared to the vastness of the Domain of Void, the size of an individual abyss is ultimately limited, and the unique nature of the abyss makes the attributes of their sub-demons extremely singular, making it difficult to form a legion with significant combat power.]
[Thus, abysses began to unite... Demon Lords also engage in mutual exchanges.]
[And the amalgamation of many abysses forms a colossal âabyssal groupâ, which also incubates self-awarenessâwhen the original demons die and are reborn, their created eternal abyss loses control, and then itâs governed by the abyssal groupâs consciousness.]
[As more powerful demons die, the self-awareness of the abyssal group also strengthens until the depths formed by the bodies of demons become the largest and strongest Abyssal Lord, its own master.]
[In the past, in the Milky Way where many demonic civilizations converged, there was even a history where abyssal groups initiated âblood battlesâ to expand themselves. Powerful demons endlessly slaughtered each other, and the birth and death of each powerful demon would make the abyssal will stronger and more terrifying.]
[To put it bluntly, itâs the same as your human collective consciousness.] The True Flame Dragon King simply summarized: [Abyssal Consciousness is the self-awareness of an incredibly extensive range of all abyssal clusters.]
[It automatically responds to the requests of all demons within its domain, taking all the demonsâ self-awareness as the price, merging their abysses into its own existence.]
"..."
Ian was silent for a moment, then cautiously asked: "So, after the Abyssal Consciousness has engulfed all the demons, what kind of existence will it become?"
[Demon Lord. Lord of the Abyss, Great Ruin King.]
The True Flame Dragon King simply answered: [Thatâs what we call such an abyssâa devouring monster that pushes all things into annihilation.]
[Youâve seen Void Spawns before, right. They are mere physical manifestations of cosmic nightmares, but Demon Lords are the destroyers of civilization because they will push all civilizations to degenerate into Abyssal Demon civilizations and then absorb them as their nutrients.]
[If Void Spawns are insane creatures that need to be incarcerated, or frenzied cockroaches with little harm, then Demon Lords are anti-social menaces that even we True Dragons absolutely cannot tolerate and must be executed.]
