Chapter 207: Leave The Princesses Here, Throw The Princes Out

“You renegade! Knave! Treacherous bandit!”

Goblen Frederick was boiling mad.

Meng Lei had killed the emperor, slaughtered all the court officials, and killed more than 1,000 Saint Domains. His actions were atrocious to the point that people would be speechless with abhorrence.

And now, he had even taken the divine weapon protecting the kingdom. Even if he were a bully, he shouldn’t be going that far!

“Die, die, die!”

Goblen roared incessantly. His vast, majestic divine power spread into the surroundings, crushing everyone who was watching the battle straight onto the ground and rendering them unable to even raise their heads.

Roar!

Innumerable golden threads suddenly shot out of Goblen to form a huge golden cage, which covered the area around Meng Lei.

“Close!”

The golden cage rapidly closed and imprisoned Meng Lei in an instant.

“You knave! Traitor! And renegade! I’m going to rip you into a million pieces and cut you with 1,000 knives!”

The golden cage started to contract as Goblen roared furiously, its sharp, indestructible golden threads tightening around Meng Lei forcefully.

Had it been anyone else—even a limits-level Saint Domain—they would surely have been turned into minced meat by the golden threads, yet Meng Lei remained well and intact.

“These are fully formed by metal-elemental power of divinity!”

Meng Lei marveled, “They are incredibly sharp and indestructible, but what a pity that they are just going to... Break!”

Boom!

Meng Lei suddenly began to expand with great force. Amid crisp crunching sounds, the golden threads wound around the surface of his body began to snap one by one... until all of them had broken.

A look at Meng Lei revealed that they hadn’t left even a single bloody scar on him.

“How can this be!?” Goblen was horrified and aghast. “Is your divine body actually that strong and tough?!”

“If I didn’t know a thing or two, how would I have dared to risk challenging you?” Meng Lei waved the Tower of Time in his hand and said, “Didn’t you want the Dragon God Tower? I’ll return it to you now!”

Then, as his fingers closed around the Tower of Time, he swung his arm back and hurled it over.

“The Dragon God Tower!”

Overjoyed, Goblen quickly reached out to catch it, but just as he was about to catch hold of it...

The Tower of Time instantly enlarged and turned from a 20-centimeters-tall miniature little tower into a huge, sky-scraping tower!

“Oh no!”

Goblen’s countenance changed drastically at the sight.

It was just a shame that it was ultimately still too late. The Tower of Time crashed into him just like how a bus would crash into an old man.

Crack!

Amid crisp cracks of bones snapping, blood spurted from Goblen’s mouth as he was thrown back. He crashed onto the ground, causing a deep fissure to form in the ground before he finally came to a stop.

“Seeing how you couldn’t catch it even when I’ve given it to you, it looks like you’re ultimately not fated to own the Dragon Tower. It can’t be helped, then!”

Meng Lei shook his head lightly. With a casual movement from him, the Tower of Time shrank in size again and flew back into his palm.

“You evil creature!”

Goblen soared into the sky and, without a second word, transformed into a huge Golden Colossal Dragon. Golden-yellow in color throughout, it was 1,000-meters-long and had a wingspan of more than 3,000 meters.

Boom!

Fierce, surging dragon might spread out, suppressing all the spectators so much that blood spurted from their mouths as if they had been struck by lightning. The weaker ones even passed out right away.

“You lowly worm! You’ve enraged me! You’ve completely enraged me!”

Goblen roared furiously, “I’m going to rip you into 1,000,000 pieces! And cut you with 1,000 knives!”

Roar!

The Colossal Dragon opened its mouth, from which a wave of golden dragon breath spurted—the dragon breath was actually golden, boiling-hot liquid!

Whoosh!

Meng Lei easily dodged the attack. However, the students behind him weren’t that lucky. Before they could even scream, they had become a pool of golden fluid.

“R-run!”

“Run!”

The students and teachers at the sides almost died from fright, yet they had been forced onto the ground and couldn’t move at all. All they could do was to pray amid their fear and trepidation that they wouldn’t become collateral damage.

“What powerful dragon breath!”

Meng Lei’s eyes flashed as he kept the Tower of Time and took out the Hammer of Destruction.

“As they say, it doesn’t fulfill propriety if one doesn’t return as good as they receive. Take a swing from my hammer!”

He appeared behind Goblen with a flash, raised the hammer, and smashed it down ruthlessly.

Meng Lei had put 50% of his power into the blow this time!

Crack!

With a crisp crack, a bloody hole formed, and dragon blood spilled everywhere. Goblen let out a piercing roar and swiped about with his claws as he tried to smack Meng Lei dead, yet he simply couldn’t catch him.

“Everyone says that a Golden Colossal Dragon’s scales have peerless defenses, but it looks like they’re nothing more than just this. This battle has lost all meaning. Let’s end this!”

Meng Lei was like a phantom, yet also like a mirage. He appeared here one moment and there the next, his movements as swift as the wind and as quick as lightning.

Crack!

He completely suppressed Goblen. Huge hole after hole was left behind everywhere that the Hammer of Destruction passed by.

Large droplets of golden dragon blood sprayed about and dyed the ground—as well as every single spectator’s mind—in their color. The sight was shockingly ghastly and incredibly horrifying.

Roar!

“Divine Technique: Protective Golden Body[1]!

“Divine Technique: Imprisonment!

“God’s Domain!

“Divine Technique: Golden Flames of Destruction!

“Divine Technique: Indestructible Metal God!”

Goblen roared incessantly and unleashed various trump cards. He didn’t even hesitate to use his power of divinity! Nevertheless, these were still powerless to alter the outcome of the battle.

Meng Lei, together with his hammer, came and went like a ghost.

When God’s Domain came toward him, he dodged and smashed his hammer about furiously.

When the Golden Flames of Destruction came toward him, he also dodged and smashed his hammer about furiously.

When the destructive dragon breath came toward him, he still dodged and smashed his hammer about furiously.

After the series of attacks, Meng Lei was still completely well and intact, but Goblen was already riddled with holes and his dragon scales broken and cracked. He was a terribly wretched sight to behold.

“It’s over!”

Meng Lei liked to fight, but he didn’t have a penchant for abusing the weak. Thus, he resolutely launched his final attack.

“Divine Technique: Ultimate Alchemy!”

Buzz...

A dazzling golden light beam descended from above and instantly smashed onto Goblen.

All the areas that the golden light beam struck stiffened right away and turned a golden-yellow color before ultimately actually becoming a dazzling gold.

“This is...”

Upon sensing the changes in his body, Goblen’s expression changed drastically. He flapped his wings desperately in an attempt to avoid the golden light beam, only for Meng Lei to smash his hammer onto his head.

The blow dizzied Goblen, making him see stars while his mind blanked out.

Buzz...

The golden light beam swiftly spread out. In a few short breaths, it had fully enveloped Goblen’s 1,000-meters-long body, wings, tail, and claws...

Whoosh!

In this instant, Goblen’s body was completely frozen, and he could no longer budge even an inch. Then, he crashed straight onto the ground and became still and motionless!

Meng Lei landed in front of Goblen and knocked against his body, producing dull, muffled thuds as he did so. He was awfully pleased with his handiwork.

“This place is pretty cold and cheerless after I took the Dragon God Tower. We’ll have you stand in its place, then!”

And then, Meng Lei vanished with a flash.

“I-it’s ended?”

The spectators who had been forced onto the ground climbed to their feet, panting heavily as they did so. They felt as if they’d just had a near-death experience and been given a new lease of life.

It had really been too frightening just now.

“This is wonderful! I’m still alive!”

“Sob, I’m still alive! I’m still alive!”

“Mama...”

Badly frightened, most of the onlookers were currently weeping in joy and relief. The bolder ones among them carefully walked over to Goblen.

One of them trembled as he asked, “G-Grandmaster, a-are you alright?”

However, there was no response.

Utterly confused, the person reached out and touched Goblen lightly. His body was cold to the touch and felt fully metallic. How was this a dragon anymore? It was clearly a Colossal Dragon statue!

“O... O’ Dragon God above! T-the Grandmaster has turned into a statue?!”

...

“That old bastard actually doesn’t even have a single bronze coin on him!”

Meng Lei sat among the clouds with a spatial ring in his hand—the one that he’d just filched from Goblen.

He had initially thought that killing a half-deity would earn him a handsome sum of money, but little did he expect that not only did the system not sound any notifications, but even the spatial ring was also empty.

“All that work had been for nothing?”

Meng Lei was so furious that he was close to swearing. Even killing a Saint Domain Magical Beast could earn him quite a few Laws of Nature Origin Crystal, yet he hadn’t gotten even a single cent from killing a half-deity now.

How infuriating!

“He’s still alive even though he took my Ultimate Alchemy attack. That old fogey definitely still has another incarnation of himself.

“Colossal Dragons are avaricious, yet that old fogey doesn’t even have a single bronze coin on himself. It’s probably because he didn’t bring his assets out with him!”

A shrewd glint flashed across Meng Lei’s eyes. “No, I must find that old fogey’s den! Just how vast would a half-deity’s wealth and assets be? I must get my hands on it! As for that old fogey’s den...”

Meng Lei narrowed his eyes slightly. “I’ve heard from Ol’ President that Dragon Island is the Dragons’ base. The vast majority of pure-blooded Colossal Dragons and Saint Domain Dragon People cultivate in seclusion there. That old fogey’s other incarnation and his den are probably on Dragon Island. The problem is... Where’s Dragon Island?”

“Meng Lei!”

A cool, aloof voice rang out beside him at this moment.

“Who is it?”

Meng Lei looked up abruptly to see that a pretty figure had shown up in front of him at some point. With jade-like skin and gorgeous looks, who could it be other than Abbe?

“Abbe!”

Meng Lei greeted her with a smile. However, he suddenly realized that something didn’t feel quite right—it seemed like he had just slain Frederick the 32nd! W-well, this was awkward!

“Meng Lei, you killed my father!”

Abbe gazed at Meng Lei with a complex look in her eyes. There was pain, agony, and fury in there, but what was present even more so was an internal struggle...

“Do you want to avenge him?” Meng Lei asked with a wry laugh.

“Yes, but I know I’m no match for you. Neither can I make myself do it!”

Abbe slowly closed her eyes as a tear rolled down her cheek.

Meng Lei heaved a sigh while Abbe also fell silent. At once, the atmosphere turned rather heavy.

After quite a while, it was Abbe that broke the silence first.

“I’m leaving, Meng Lei.”

“Leaving? Where are you going?”

Meng Lei was taken aback.

“Somewhere far, far away!”

Abbe sighed softly and said, “Perhaps we’ll never see each other again after today. Take care!”

Then, she turned and left, a crystal-clear teardrop dissipating along with the wind...

“You—”

Meng Lei wanted to call out to her, but he ultimately sighed and murmured, “Abbe, do take care, too.”

...

Abbe left, leaving behind only a heavy, gloomy view of her back and a sense of guilt that wouldn’t disappear.

“I’m sorry, Abbe, but I don’t regret what I did. If I could do it all over again, I would still do what I did. Dragon God Empire is mine!”

Then, Meng Lei got up, turned, and flew toward the Dragon God Empire palace.

He had left in a hurry previously and forgotten to do something important, so he wanted to return and get it done.

Meng Lei traveled very quickly. A few minutes later, he had returned to the area above the palace.

However, the scene currently taking place in the palace somewhat caught him by surprise.

“Throw all these goddamn eunuchs out and change them all to palace maidservants!

“Leave the Empress and all the Royal Consorts. Not a single one is to leave! Yes, they’re mine, all mine!

“Leave the princesses and throw the princes out!”
