Mythology: Ragnarok

Chapter 222 The Disaster of the Blue Dragon Clan

As he spoke, Agreed looked at the kneeling lizardmen and continued to shout, "I understand that you have suffered humiliation and defeat in the past twenty years, but this was inevitable. No one can win every battle in his life. Before I came, you had no supplies, no weapons and equipment to fight dragons, and no large and powerful undead race. But today everything is different."

Failure isn't scary; what's scary is being afraid, being terrified, and running away! Fate is a cowardly bully; the weaker you are, the more it will suffocate you. But this time is different! Because I've returned. Tell me, lizardmen, will you choose to compromise with fate this time, or will you join me in conquering all directions and making those bastards in the Death Desert pay the price? Tell me, fight? Or flee?!

The lizardmen, their eyes gleaming with ferocity, looked up at Agreed and shouted, "Fight! Fight!! Fight!!!"

Agreed shouted again, "Stand up, take your weapons and tell me, what is our objective?!"

Tiga picked up his spear, stood up, and shouted, "Unify the Desert of Death! Annihilate all enemies!"

All the lizardmen were mobilized; the warlike gene in their genes prompted them to stand up excitedly, shouting the same slogans as Tiga, and watching Agreed proclaim their ambitions.

Agred shouted happily, "Very good! I will lead you to unify this place. I will be the vanguard and let you possess this vast territory. My followers, follow me on the expedition!" With that, Agred spread his huge wings and soared into the sky, kicking up clouds of yellow sand. He then flew slowly toward the distant blue dragon's lair. The lizardmen quickly put on all their equipment and chased after Agred's figure.

On this day, Bari, the ancient dragon and leader of the blue dragons in the Death Desert, was lying comfortably on the sand, enjoying the sunshine. Musurida was different from other planets. This planet was so large that even if a dragon grew to be over a hundred meters long and reached the level of an ancient dragon with the strength of a demigod, it would not need to travel to the astral plane to find a new home.

So while ancient dragons are rare on this planet, they are not nonexistent. Basically, every dragon species living in Musurida is protected by an ancient dragon, and those ancient dragons will only leave this place to find a new home in the astral plane when they grow to be over two thousand years old again.

Just when Barry thought today was another good day, a huge figure, like a black lightning bolt, descended from the sky and struck him directly in the waist.

Poor Barry was still unaware of what was happening. He only felt a dizzying sensation and then saw his body being crushed by a jet-black dragon. Barry only realized he was dead when the dragon's head hit the ground. The blue dragon, who had lived for thousands of years, had no choice but to resign himself to his fate and slowly close his eyes to face this sudden death.

After a while, Tiga arrived late with the lizardmen. What came into view was a mountain of blue dragon corpses and Agreed, who was purifying the blue dragon's bloodline there.

Aside from older lizardmen like Tiga who were used to it, younger lizardmen like Kuga were utterly terrified by what they saw. The Blue Dragon Clan had always been the rulers of the Death Desert, and now they'd been wiped out in less than half an hour?! In an instant, these younger generation finally understood why their fathers had been so loyal to the Destruction Dragon God: those who obeyed prospered, and those who resisted perished!

Arged played with the Blue Dragon Bloodline in his hand, then called out to Tiga, "Tiga! Come here, your twenty years of hard work deserve this reward."

Tiga knew what Agreed was talking about, so he stepped forward, knelt on one knee, and cried out, "Thank you, my lord."

Then, the blue dragon blood essence in Agreed's hand flew out and entered Tiga's body. This time, Tiga did not experience the same pain as before. Twenty years of accumulation and training had long been ready for the awakening of his potential talents. In the blink of an eye, the blue scales on Tiga's body began to proliferate, and Tiga became a mixed-color dinosaur-man with red and blue scales. At the same time, the bloodlines of the two giant dragons in his body directly maximized his growth potential. Now, Tiga's future will at least be a demigod-level existence.

A violent current crackled across Tiga's body, and Tiga transformed into lightning, instantly flying five hundred meters away. Agred then threw out a spear made primarily of blue dragon bones, with a dwarven alloy, somewhat resembling gold, as its plating and decoration. Every usable space on the spear was engraved with runes by Agred.

Tiga took the spear and brandished it. Flames and lightning instantly clashed around him, making Tiga appear like a god. The lizardmen looked at their leader with envy.

Agreed looked at them and said with a smile, "Envious? Don't worry, do a good job for me, and you'll get your share of the rewards. Listen! My servants, now you have a job to do. Help me count all the dragon eggs in the blue dragon's lair and kill all the other living blue dragons, including the cubs. After this battle, the remaining dragon flesh and blood are yours to feast on."

Upon hearing this, the lizardmen were instantly enraged and charged into the Blue Dragon's lair to deliver a final, fatal blow to the Blue Dragon clan. Tiga also rushed in; having just evolved, he led his people in a rampage, slaughtering everyone in their path. Watching the Blue Dragon clan, who had once oppressed them, struggle at their feet, the lizardmen felt an immense sense of satisfaction.

Within two days, the Blue Dragon race had become a thing of the past in the Death Desert, erasing its name from this desolate land. Agred kept his promise and allowed these lizardmen to feast on the flesh and blood of the dragons. After a few days of rest, Agred once again ordered an attack on the undead in the Death Desert.

The most appropriate next step would have been to eliminate the brass dragons controlling the oasis, but metal dragons are different from chromatic dragons. Bahamut is still alive, and he can send down divine avatars at any time to protect his dragon cubs, unlike Tiamat who can only watch helplessly as Agreed slaughters her offspring in Hell. Therefore, Agreed now needs to plan how to act when he meets Bahamut without revealing his past identity. After all, if the gods know he is still alive, they will definitely not let him go, and that old bastard Odin will definitely launch another attack on him. Therefore, Agreed needs to be extremely cautious when contacting the gods.

Of course, all of this is based on the premise that Loki, that capricious madman, will not betray Agreed to Odin. Agreed can only choose to believe that he will keep his promise, because he really can't do anything about this madman.

Loki is an anomaly among the gods. His status among the gods is like that of the Joker in DC Comics, inspiring fear in everyone. The gods fear Loki not because he is so powerful that no one can defeat him, but because he is so crazy that he is unpredictable and incomprehensible. The unknown and the sense of powerlessness are what make life feel the most fear.

Even Agreed could sense this fear emanating from Loki. Agreed himself had to admit that he began to feel afraid when facing this god of lies and trickery!
