At the same moment, Bai Cha’s phone began ringing incessantly. A bad premonition immediately struck Bai Cha. Picking up the phone, he saw it was a call from Jupiter.
"Something's wrong, Bai! Asmodeus has lost control!" Jupiter's voice was filled with urgency, and amidst the background noise and hurried shouts, Bai Cha could faintly hear, "The attitudes of various countries are unclear. Some advocate for a讨伐, some for control…"
"Calm down and explain clearly. How did she suddenly lose control? Where is she?" Bai Cha's heart sank further. He turned to Freya and said, "Don't follow me. I'll be back. I'll handle this."
With that, he exchanged a look with Lucifer, and the two of them took to the sky.
"We don't know. For some reason, Brahma suddenly died!"
Jupiter was no longer young, nearing thirty. He had held his position for a long time, yet faced with this situation, he couldn't help but feel panicked.
"We were patrolling the World Championship venue when Brahma suddenly spat blood. We performed emergency rescue, but his life force grew weaker and weaker. Then, Asmodeus burst out from somewhere and went berserk."
Lucifer knew Bai Cha was powerful, but this time, Bai Cha seemed truly anxious. The power he unleashed made Lucifer feel a sense of heart palpitation he had never experienced before.
Bai Cha, with Lucifer in tow, transformed into a dark red streak of light. The air pressure generated by their flight made Lucifer feel as if his bones were creaking.
At the World Championship venue, chaos had erupted amongst everyone.
If the sky turned red when the evil dragon, polluted by the Dragon Mother galaxy, went berserk, and turned golden when a being with divine power acted, then at this very moment, the sky was like churning ink, with only occasional purple lightning bolts faintly illuminating what was happening in the area.
"Asmodeus, calm down! Brahma might still be saved." Athena was extremely anxious. Her golden scepter was emitting holy light, illuminating a part of the sky. She was confronting Asmodeus, but was subtly being pushed to the brink.
Although Athena was very strong, she couldn't withstand a madman. Even a death row inmate who was unafraid of death was terrifying.
When the Ancestral Dragon raged, everything in its path turned to nothing. If the person before her wasn't Athena, Asmodeus might have lost every last shred of sanity.
"Calm? How do you expect me to calm down?" Asmodeus roared. Each burst of rage was accompanied by lightning bolts as thick as thighs, seeming to tear the sky apart.
"Greedy, shameless, self-righteous, foolish!" With each word, Asmodeus's aura would expand further. The black and purple storm clouds gradually spread, compressing Athena's golden sky. This was Asmodeus burning her own power.
Jupiter finally arrived. With a wave of his spear, golden-green light transformed into chains, binding Asmodeus's captivating body. Asmodeus possessed a near-perfect, even voluptuous physique. Her every movement was usually enchanting and seductive, but in her berserk state, she was awe-inspiring. Even her contorted face held a hint of allure.
"Asmodeus, we can discuss this. We can calmly discuss how to get revenge. If you continue like this, we will have to suppress you." Jupiter was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. Even if Brahma was murdered, they couldn't immediately step forward to avenge him.
After all, they belonged to different countries and had their reservations. If they could calm down and discuss, they might be able to find a solution. But now, with Asmodeus raging and almost affecting the city, if this continued, they would have to intervene.
"Discuss? There's no need to discuss. It's not important, none of it is important anymore!" Asmodeus clutched Brahma in her arms, her lover, the person most important to her.
Asmodeus remembered the first time she met Brahma. She was merely an embryo, undulating in a petri dish.
That day was very noisy, seemingly another annual Resonance Day.
Asmodeus actually disliked such occasions. She preferred being alone. Even if it was just sleeping, she didn't want to see those boring humans.
Those people were not strong, nor were they resilient. They were mediocre in every aspect. How could they be worthy of being her hosts? She would rather sleep until the end of time than be dragged down by these low-level humans.
The crowd was noisy, and Asmodeus was growing impatient. When would these people finish their commotion? Asmodeus impatiently opened her eyes a sliver.
The light was a little harsh. Her vision shifted from blurry to clear. A young boy was standing in front of the petri dish, staring at her.
His large eyes seemed to twinkle with stars, like the starry sky she saw when she fell from the universe. He stared at her like that, and at that moment, Asmodeus had only one thought.
Those eyes are damn beautiful.
"Hey, can you hear me?" The little boy's skin had a sexy, tanned hue. His eyes were clear and innocent. He lightly tapped the glass of the petri dish and continued shouting with his hands cupped around his mouth, "Hey! Can you hear me? If you can hear me, move a little?"
"Young master, don't shout. The embryo is in a dormant state; she can't hear you," a staff member beside him said, looking somewhat embarrassed at the restless little monkey. If this child weren't of extraordinary status, he would have chased him away.
"Who said that? I can feel her looking at me. Anyway, there's still plenty of time, why bother with me?" The little boy indignantly put his hands on his hips and flashed a brilliant smile at the petri dish. "Hey, I feel you looking at me. Want to be my dragon? I'll give you all my delicious snacks!"
The people around cast curious glances, finding the lively little boy somewhat amusing. Resonance was about fate; what did bribery have to do with it?
Moreover, only snacks? That was too meager a price.
However, what happened next shocked everyone. Not long after the little boy finished speaking, the embryo in the petri dish actually moved and resonated with the boy.
The little boy woke up again in the medical room. Asmodeus, as a demonic dragon, possessed immense power. The overwhelming power during resonance would cause the host to fall into a brief coma, but once awake, it was not a serious problem.
"You're awake?"
The little boy rubbed his eyes and woke up on the medical bed, stretching. He then heard a captivating and melodious voice from nearby.
The voice was so soft and enchanting that Brahma's legs felt weak. Turning his head, he saw a tall, sexy woman sitting on a table, leisurely biting into an apple.
This woman was stunning. The little boy swore that after his mother, she was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. Her dark skin was perfectly sexy, with a figure that was both curvaceous and proportionate. Her long legs had a perfect curve, and two beautiful horns protruded from the back of her head. Even though she was just eating an apple, she seemed to be beckoning him.
"Hey, kid, you're drooling," Asmodeus said, tossing the apple core into the trash can and shifting her posture. She stretched lazily.
With just this small movement, the boy, only a few years old, felt his heart pounding.
"I, my name is Brahma. Are you… that demonic dragon?" The little boy looked very nervous, his little face flushed red. His innocence made Asmodeus feel a desire to "train" him.
"Kid, do you still mean what you said about giving me your snacks?" Asmodeus playfully leaned close to the boy's face, smiling alluringly. "Then, from now on, your things will be my things, okay? Including you."
Brahma was young at the time. How could he possibly resist a woman as exquisitely sexy and alluring as Asmodeus? He didn't even hear what Asmodeus was saying and nodded repeatedly, agreeing.
"Kid, have you ever played a master-servant game?"
"Huh?"
"Oh, you're still young. It's okay. Anyway, you're mine now. I'll tell you later."
Thus, Brahma profoundly experienced what it meant to be in a state of extremes.
In the days that followed, whenever any opposite sex approached Brahma with affection, Asmodeus would unceremoniously drive them away, under the guise of "You are mine."
Then, on the night of Brahma's eighteenth birthday, Asmodeus unceremoniously brought out a large box, allowing Brahma to deeply understand the issue of master and servant.
That night, Brahma cried on the bed for the entire night, his whimpers making it impossible for Asmodeus to sleep.
Asmodeus rolled over, sat up, and threw a pillow at him, saying displeasedly, "Hey, if you don't like it, we can just end the resonance. Don't be like a fly buzzing around me, okay?"
After all, she had taken care of him by Brahma's side for so long. Even if she hadn't earned merit, she had at least endured hardship. What was wrong with taking some payment today?
"Absolutely not! Why should we end the resonance!" Brahma was instantly unhappy. As soon as he stood up, his legs stiffened, and he fell back onto the bed, continuing to whimper. "Can't you be gentler… hiss, I'm the man, I should be the dominant one."
"You? Save it." Hearing that Brahma wasn't resistant, Asmodeus became happy. "Just get used to it. You've been mine for a long time anyway."
"Uh… that's true." This time, Brahma agreed very matter-of-factly, leaving Asmodeus stunned for a long time.
All along, Asmodeus had treated Brahma like a blank canvas to paint on, playing around with the young boy. But after so many years, it was false to say she had no genuine feelings. However, it was always she who announced their relationship, while Brahma would blush and remain silent, never taking the initiative or admitting anything.
Today, Brahma actually admitted it, which surprised Asmodeus.
Brahma: "Asmodeus."
"Hmm? What is it?" Asmodeus replied lazily.
"Let's be together."
Asmodeus: "?"
Had she fried the kid's brain with the whip last night? How was she captured so easily overnight? If she had known it would be this simple, why bother planting landmines for ten years?
"I said, let's be together. I really, really like you." Brahma lay on the bed, hugging a pillow, sighing as if he had given up. "Can we just announce to everyone that we're a couple? That way, people won't introduce other dragons to you."
Dragon reproduction was notoriously difficult. The timeline from pregnancy to birth to adulthood was terrifyingly long, and maintaining bloodline purity was also challenging. Therefore, the country had repeatedly suggested to Brahma that Asmodeus select a high-quality Ancestral Dragon or an A-class dragon for procreation, so as not to waste her potential.
"Oh? Those old geezers are asking you to find me a mate again?" Asmodeus annoyedly snorted. She really hated those people. Selecting partners and breeding made Asmodeus feel as though they treated her like a prize breeding sow.
"However, I don't want to be with you because of that. I truly like you." Brahma lay on the bed, tilting his head and looking at Asmodeus pitifully. "I think I should take responsibility. I can't always let you be on the front lines."
That night, Asmodeus leaned against the bed, gazing at Brahma beside her for a long, long time without speaking.
Brahma's eyes were large. Lying on the bed and looking at her pitifully, his eyes were like a calm lake reflecting the most beautiful starry sky, glistening and so beautiful.
Ah, her little boy had grown up. He understood what responsibility meant.
