Take down the Butterfly Beast? Or capture it alive?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As an Evil Dragon, he was capable of anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze unintentionally changed slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The nearby Butterfly Beast, with keen senses, immediately flapped its wings, retreating several kilometers backward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then its body filled with the Power of Time, it cautiously said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You, dragon, what was that gaze just now? You aren’t thinking of a double-cross, are you? Didn’t you claim to be a Metal Dragon?

It’s not even a funny joke, is it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The most crucial thing was, this idiot in front of them seemed unaware?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ahem~ What are you thinking, really, in this perverse mindset, seeing other creatures in a sordid way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I, as a proud descendant of the Metal Dragon Race, could never go back on my word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Bahamut above, your words just now insulted my character; you would hurt my feelings with such words.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Land expressed displeasure and a trace of sorrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Butterfly Beast, hearing him, changed its expression, gazed at Land for a long time before cautiously saying:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah, if that’s the case, I apologize for the previous misunderstanding, sorry, sincere, honest, and kind descendant of the Metal Dragon Race.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No problem, as a descendant of the Metal Dragon Race, who values integrity and virtue, I won’t pursue such small matters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let’s proceed with the distribution of divine blood as we discussed earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the way, since it’s a fair split, we have four here, so let’s divide these 3650 drops of divine blood evenly into 912, no problem?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uh? Aren’t you... one group?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A group? Of course not, our relationship is the same as yours, just allies.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, oh. Then I have no issue.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Butterfly Beast nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although it felt somewhat shortchanged, it had no reason to refute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although she hadn’t exerted herself fully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the collected divine blood should be the most, after all, she held off three Great Wizards collecting blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet Land wouldn’t bother with such details.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He earnestly distributed the divine blood one by one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, the blood of the World Serpent, he kept all for himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, he didn’t decide to go back on his word to the other’s reward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t out of sheer goodwill, but due to another purpose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He did, however, have some apprehension toward this Exotic Beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, it possessed the Power of Time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, he had acquired it as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Calling the Future is an extremely profound application of the Power of Time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If this fellow before him could also achieve such feats, just how strong would she be in the future?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she had already reached the level of a King Beast, wouldn’t he be making trouble for himself?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Land grinned at the Butterfly Beast and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"By the way, my friend, I am Land Saphis Oakben, may I have your name?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Me? Just call me Light Butterfly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She said while swallowing the Divine Blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over a dozen scorching drops of Divine Blood entered her mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The body of the Butterfly Beast was hot, showing no apparent abnormal change.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But looking at the Energy she just consumed, much of it seemed to have recovered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This appeared to have improved her mood quite a bit:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You really didn’t lie to me; the blood of a Divine Being truly can restore some Energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In future battles with enemies, I no longer have to worry about the lack of Energy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she spoke, she stored all the blood into a pitch-black void that opened out of nowhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hahaha~ Of course, we of the Metal Dragon Race always guarantee quality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the way, we’re friends now, aren’t we?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Land suddenly said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I suppose... we are...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then between friends, you’d lend a little help, wouldn’t you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I suppose I would.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hahaha! That’s perfect, don’t worry, it’s not a big deal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I just want you to use the Power of Time on me, to age me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh? Are you sure?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am sure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What a strange request, in my thousands of years of life, I’ve never met someone like you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Butterfly Monster muttered, looking incredulous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The nearby Rainbow Dragon and the Deer-headed Monster appeared thoughtful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, the Butterfly Monster sprang into action.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Power of Time on her fell upon Land, accelerating his aging.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon he felt hungry and began to devour the gaseous planets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within a radius of several hundred kilometers, a great windstorm swept through.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This situation continued for several hours.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Land’s body length increased by about 20 meters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He estimated that, given his current Physical Growth, he had only aged three or four months.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This left him somewhat dissatisfied, frowning as he looked at the Butterfly Beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This fellow was panting heavily, her chest and belly rising and falling, looking exhausted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you already worn out?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Land couldn’t help but ask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m done. This time I used up about ninety percent of the Power of Time and can’t continue,\" the Butterfly Beast said tiredly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But soon, she looked at Land with some astonishment:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you still in your growth phase? What an exaggerated guy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Land, by catalyzing yourself, skipping the normal growth process, you’re risking your growth potential.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, as part of the True Dragon Race, our lifespan is also limited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even my Rainbow Dragon family has a lifespan of just over ten thousand years, and without becoming Divine Beings, our physical strength will still diminish with age.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The nearby Rainbow Dragon voiced a warning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Potential? If potential cannot be quickly transformed into strength, then one might be killed before having the chance to argue with anyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not long ago, I witnessed fights between True Gods, King Beasts, and Titled Wizards, do you think our current strength is enough?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Land still urgently wanted to enhance his strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, the talk of catalyzing himself with the Power of Time and depleting potential was dismissed by him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had already been warned about this by the Enchanting Demon Goddess Doroshi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, speaking of potential?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who could possibly know how much potential he truly had?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a question even he, as a dragon, didn’t know the answer to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of Doroshi, Land couldn’t help but miss that gal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s been over ten years since they last met. That Enchanting Demon must have accumulated quite a bit of Divine Power by now, right? Isn’t it time to use this to strengthen himself again?\u003C\u002Fp>",1569,"2026-06-06T02:01:05.002Z",1,"novelbin.me","855c28965fbd4675f5809cdb456d3b8c55ae54ddc50f568443b4018c8ee0e59b","dragon-of-catastrophe-chapter-557","dragon-of-catastrophe-chapter-555",673,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fdragon-of-catastrophe-cover.jpg"]
