Simultaneous travel: City, infinite evolution

Chapter 696 The Shock of the Group Members: The Mystery of Pureblood Dragons

Lord Shadow gazed at Chen Hong's ever-growing celestial dragon body with burning eyes.

Is this evolution?

Is this power?

"It's such a simple, brutal, and utterly despair-inducing crushing defeat!"

"Even with my nuclear explosion magic, I doubt I could even blast open a single dragon scale."

"Even if he abandons all defenses, the sheer size difference alone is enough to crush us, who are like insects."

"Compared to its enormous size, a dragon scale the size of a planet piercing through it is probably not even worth a needle prick, right?"

Everyone remained silent, tacitly agreeing with his statement.

This is a simple truth that anyone with a brain can figure out, so naturally they understand it.

Hestia stared at Chen Hong with a fanatical gaze, but not at his physical body, but at his soul.

"What a brilliant soul!"

"What a magnificent achievement!"

"If only I could be transformed into an adventurer and become my familia..."

"Oh ho ho ho!..."

The thought of possessing a monster-like clan would free her from the penniless life of working as a shop assistant in a maid outfit.

From then on, he lived a carefree and lazy life as a couch potato.

They even flaunted it before the gods.

Just imagining that scene, Hestia felt that life was full of hope, and the fire in her eyes seemed to burn brightly.

The Valkyrie of the End gazed intensely at Chen Hong's imposing figure.

"If... if he could participate in Ragnarok, he could definitely defeat the gods easily, right?"

"It's a pity, they are dragons, not humans, so they can't participate in the war between humans and gods."

A hint of regret flashed in the eyes of the final Valkyrie.

Old Master Zhongli picked up his teacup, took a sip to calm his nerves, and compared the two in his mind:

"Hiss! With this size and this power fluctuation, even if that Dragon King Ruoduo were here, he wouldn't be as big as this guy's fingernail, right?"

"That's...outrageous!"

"This is absolutely outrageous!"

"This is not scientific!" the blue fat man muttered. "Won't a body of this size collapse into a black hole due to its own weight?"

This is neither biology nor physics.

Doraemon scratched his smooth bald head, stunned, unable to think of a single hair.

Spider ran wildly back and forth like a crab, waving a red flag it had somehow gotten its hands on, shouting "666!" with an excited expression, frenzied dance moves, and an admiring gaze.

Without a doubt, she has already regarded Chen Hong as a benchmark for another path of evolution.

At some point, Ryuguuin Seiya had already shielded everyone in front of him, making himself invisible and completely unnoticed.

He looked at Chen Hong's still-growing, terrifying dragon body with an extremely solemn expression.

"The heroes of this world are truly as numerous as carp crossing a river!"

"As expected, I was still not cautious enough."

"Extra training!"

"I must train extra hard when I get back!"

Ryuguin Seiya hardened his heart, and his cautious and courageous Dao heart became even more resolute.

As Lin Yang, the group leader, watched Chen Hong's wildly expanding dragon body and felt his energy fluctuations, which were like a vast ocean, he began to doubt the existence of dragons.

"Could it be that enormous size is the correct evolutionary direction for dragons?"

"No!"

"No!" "I'm a pure-blooded dragon, how can I take such a reckless path?"

"In the miniature garden, those who manipulate the rules are on the noble path."

What use is a large body size? Before deities and Buddhas of three or two digits, it's nothing more than a large lump of dough that can be kneaded and flattened.

“Even the largest sister, the World Dragon Kurima, didn’t grow to this size. Instead, she focused on consolidating her power, which is why she reached a double-digit size.”

"How could I let Chen Hong influence me and lead me astray?"

Lin Yang quickly dismissed the idea that was stirring in his mind.

In the miniature garden, a stage for gods and Buddhas, you have to use your intelligence to pass the levels; simply stacking numbers won't let you outmaneuver the cunning old-timers.

Let alone those gods and Buddhas who have lived for countless years.

It is the mechanism of humanity's ultimate trial, which even gods and Buddhas find troublesome.

As a pure-blooded dragon, how could Lin Yang possibly stray from the right path?

Princess Kaguya of Hourai Mountain opened her small fan to cover her mouth, which was agape in surprise. Her eyes darted around, giving the group leader, Lin Yang, a quick glance before settling on the enormous dragon's body. With a hint of amusement, she spoke:

"Hehehe, I remember, the group leader is also a dragon descendant, isn't he?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yang turned to look at her and frowned.

"So what?"

"Hehehe, why is the group leader angry? I was just curious. Seeing Lord Chen Hong's magnificent dragon body, doesn't the group leader have any thoughts at all?" Princess Kaguya of Houraisan smiled charmingly, her smile not quite a smile.

"Everyone has their own destiny and their own path."

"His path may not be the right one."

Even if something is right, if it doesn't suit me, then it's wrong.

Lin Yang frowned, glancing at Princess Kaguya of Houraisan with some displeasure. He was somewhat troubled by this old hag who had lived for countless years and still liked to call herself an eternally eighteen-year-old girl.

Because this guy is the master of stirring up trouble in the group, he likes to fan the flames and watch the excitement, he's a bored person who enjoys having fun.

"Tsk tsk tsk, the group leader's mind is surprisingly firm." Kaguya Houraisan clicked her tongue. "Is it because of the innate influence of pure-blooded dragons?"

"According to the comics and novels I have collected, in the world view of the Little Garden, pure-blooded dragons like the group leader are life forms that are "suddenly created without any warning" and are born from nothing on their own."

Essentially, you pure-blooded dragons are born with a worldview of "self-observation of the universe," independent of cause and effect, and unaffected by external influences.

Unlike the gods, they do not need to rely on humans to observe each other and anchor their existence.

In other words, group leader, your power can theoretically expand infinitely through self-observation!

"Therefore, I think that you, the group leader, are quite suitable for the path of Lord Chen Hong."

"Purely stacking numbers, pushing them to the extreme, is art."

"One punch from him could kill even gods and Buddhas."

"How about it? Would you like to consider it?"

For a moment, Lin Yang was tempted.

Just imagining the scene of every punch landing with brutal force and overwhelming numerical superiority is enough to get my blood pumping.

But when Lin Yang looked at Princess Kaguya of Houraisan and saw the wicked smile on her lips, he calmed down and a hint of apprehension flashed in his eyes.

"I don't believe you!"

"You wicked old hag!"

Lin Yang cursed inwardly, but dared not say it aloud.

This old monster is incredibly wise, has too much free time, and is well-versed in all kinds of entertainment and culture in modern human civilization. There's nothing in the group that this old hag doesn't know.

Compared to this old hag, Lin Yang, the protagonist of the deep anime world, actually seems like a normal human being.

This old hag is a true hardcore anime and manga otaku, the kind who's obsessed with BL (Boys' Love).

Not to mention the original works and film and television adaptations of various fan-made works, she knows them all like the back of her hand, even better than Lin Yang.

This old woman had even read her own manuscripts, quite a few, and seemed to enjoy them immensely. (End of Chapter)
