I know many of you are not local lords, but it doesn’t matter, as long as you go back and tell your lords and king to surrender to me completely!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You will all become territories of Black King City!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the next two months, I want each of you to send over at least eighty percent of your wealth and at least three of your kin or children! Do you understand?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The resonant voice of the Giant Dragon rang again, pushing everyone into the Abyss, on the cliff’s edge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many people’s complexions turned unsightly; it truly was a case of fearing what would happen!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We are supposed to surrender to the Giant Dragon before us... this...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course, I also very much welcome you to challenge me! That would definitely be very interesting! Wouldn’t it, gentlemen? Do you see what that is over there?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, the colossal Giant Dragon in front raised its forelimb, pointing its claw into the distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the coast, a dozen kilometers away, there was a forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The forest was quite wide, and the trees were enormous, clearly visible across kilometers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire width of it was over four to five kilometers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This forest was not small.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon seeing it, someone couldn’t help but cautiously ask: \"Is... is it the seaside forest? Lord Black King, why are you asking about it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No! No! No! There’s no forest there at all! Not a single tree!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Giant Dragon in front of them shook its head repeatedly, speaking with a peculiar smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah!!! Lord Black King! What... what do you mean?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone beside them exclaimed in shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t believe me? Then watch carefully!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Giant Dragon said, suddenly leaping up, lightly flapping its hundred-meter-long Dragon Wings, creating gusts of wind that blew people back and forth, yellow sand filling the sky!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When they looked up again, they saw the Giant Dragon already hundreds of meters above, opening its mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Countless bright yellow and red sparks danced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Illuminating hundred meters around the Giant Dragon in a crimson light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A small Flame Ball appeared before the Giant Dragon, swelling afterward!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What! What is he trying to do?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the ground, someone was panic-stricken, feeling a significant disaster looming, but they could do nothing, only look up in dread.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until the fireball completely formed, as large as the Giant Dragon’s head, and at that moment, the fireball burst with infinite light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bathing the surrounding kilometers in red, like entering dusk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Giant Dragon suddenly shot the fireball, aiming for the forest!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was like a small independent world, crashing toward the forest!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the fireball disappeared entirely into the forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The terrifying event finally occurred!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A massive fireball appeared! Expanding! Spreading flames and shockwaves!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One giant tree after another devoured entirely, the shockwave sweeping in all directions!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the coastal ground, a group of people saw the explosion’s shockwave, carrying fire, dust, and splinters, rushing wildly toward them!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wave formed by the shockwave was terrifying to the extreme!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As high as several hundred meters! Seemingly about to swallow everything in front of it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Run! Quick, run! Stay here, and you’ll lose your life!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh God! Save me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Help! Help! Don’t run so fast! Carry me! Carry me and run together! Someone save me! I’ll give you ten Gold Talers! No! Come back! A hundred Gold Talers! Save me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The group shouted, ran crazily backward, some falling over due to rushing too fast, even twisting legs and feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet they did not give up on running! Instead, they used both limbs to keep crawling!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Heh heh heh heh~ Hahahahaha! This is a real nuclear explosion! Feel this power well! Reverence my power! Hahahaha!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Giant Dragon laughed wildly in the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Other dragons gawked at the distant explosion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stirred immensely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This... is this still the power of a dragon? Just one dragon could do such a thing!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This definitely surpassed Ninth Ring Magic! Reached the Godslaying Level Tenth Ring Magic!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shockwave with immense might got closer and closer to the people and dragons by the sea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some kept looking back, seeing the terrifying shockwave over a hundred meters high, letting out desperate screams.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No! Save me! I don’t want to die! Save me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They closed their eyes, arms tightly crossed in front, bodies lying on the ground!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hurricane and shockwave crashed, blowing them backward, rolling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The terrifying explosion’s blast arrived belatedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rumble!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Almost tearing their eardrums apart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They felt immense pain all over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like entering Hell, the Abyss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not knowing how long had passed, the shockwave dissipated, the explosions stopped!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One slowly opened the eyes, shouting in joy:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m alive! Alive! Great! Great!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Really! Alive! Really alive!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It must be divine protection! Hahaha! Thank you, gods!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The group shouted in excitement, tears of emotion streaming from their eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then, a deep voice quietly resonated like a tolling bell:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank the gods? Are you kidding? If you want to thank, shouldn’t you thank me properly?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wha... what?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These people were shocked into silence, subconsciously realizing they might not be out of danger yet!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The recent terrifying Magic was the handiwork of the Red-eyed Black King!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But, what did he mean by thanking him? Was he mocking them?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anger filled their hearts as they turned to look ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly seeing a Giant Dragon with enormous Dragon Wings opened, blocking their path not far ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Did this Evil Dragon actually save them?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What on earth was he trying to do?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They hadn’t opened their mouths to ask, the Giant Dragon flew back into the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, they saw, a dozen kilometers away, where the forest once stood, completely disappeared!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A barren land, replaced by a massive crimson pit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Countless smoke and dust slowly rose skyward, resembling a mushroom cloud!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire surrounding sky across dozens of kilometers was hidden under dust, almost light couldn’t be seen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tendrils of heat steamed, the whole ground like a giant lava region...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ground on either side where the Giant Dragon once stood was scraped down by twenty to thirty centimeters, extending backward over kilometers!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This... this... this...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The group gawked at the distance, feeling breathless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cold sweat trickling down their backs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What sort of Magic is this? Could it be that Laine Kingdom’s disappearance was truly the work of the Red-eyed Black King? And he could do such a thing by just being a dragon?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now tell me, what is over there? Where is the forest you spoke of?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Giant Dragon King in the sky turned its head and asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its expression was maliciously human-like.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, no no no... nothing left...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One stammered, unable to speak fluently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So I said, there’s nothing there, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Giant Dragon repeated, and everyone fell silent, not daring to speak, clutching their chests, attempting to calm themselves down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Heh heh heh! Hahahahaha!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Obey me and live! Defy me and die!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, let me repeat, go back and tell your lords and king!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Surrender within two months, send everything that should be sent! Otherwise, your territories will end up like this! Completely annihilated! Understood?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Giant Dragon laughed maniacally, its crimson eyes scanning over the people repeatedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The malice was almost tangible!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This moment was the darkest in everyone’s life! They faced the ultimate evil supposed to exist only in legends and tales!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But reality offered no hero like in tale legends to save them!\u003C\u002Fp>",1295,"2026-06-06T02:00:51.837Z",1,"novelbin.me","29201ac0534a9f54427423f93395f1ab61e4e7444b827318af08e1ef8ed036cd","dragon-of-catastrophe-chapter-248","dragon-of-catastrophe-chapter-246",673,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fdragon-of-catastrophe-cover.jpg"]
