Chapter 302

Blinding sparks burst forth on the steel-like scales; Jiang Xia's body, compared to Kara now, could only be considered an object the size of a sparrow, yet it managed to slash many wounds across the frenzied dragon's body.

So that's it; no wonder that strike just now went off target.

By refining dinosaur material into relevant energy within the body and adding one's own understanding to let one's Core Coin resist the influence of desire turned to nothing, it is indeed a high degree of mutual origin between enemy and self—no doubt.

Jiang Xia's voice rang out in the high sky, explaining the reason.

But even so, you would hardly ascend the world throne, for you have no companions; you fight only for your own ambition.

A low voice sounded in this thousand-meter-high sky, and Jiang Xia's body vanished at the moment the attack was about to come.

Like fireflies, spacetime particles spread silently to every corner of the battlefield.

The flow of time was accelerating; from the moment the time particles appeared, Jiang Xia was like a creature detached from time, having slipped out of this world and become intangible.

Although this world's Alchemical Art can affect the concept of time, it cannot be applied to one's own body; it only allows brief time travel.

If one truly wishes to engrave the concept of time onto a Core Coin, it would still take several decades to actually achieve it.

In Kara's huge dragon pupil, a hint of bewilderment flashed; it could no longer sense Jiang Xia's presence at all, as if he had vanished from this world.

This was the first time such a thing had happened after it obtained the ultimate power of desire.

He had clearly obtained the ultimate power, yet his heart still felt a hint of unease.

Under normal circumstances, shouldn't one annihilate everyone with overwhelming force? Why do I feel this way!

Jiang Xia hovered in the high sky, and everything around became unusually quiet as he approached that huge creature.

The bright energy core had nearly stalled, filled with material akin to the raw substance for forging Core Coins; to truly annihilate Kara, one would need to shatter or seal this energy core.

Under the control of time particles, this giant dragon was no different from a true sculpture, able only to hang silently in the sky.

But Jiang Xia still noticed that the light cluster at the heart's position was beginning to try to catch up to his speed.

Relying on the acceleration from controlling time particles, unless one could likewise accelerate one's own body by several tens or even hundreds of times, one could not keep up with Jiang Xia's current movements.

And this now means that the giant dragon before him likewise possesses the ability to accelerate, enabling it to capture his trajectory.

But due to the operator being too inadequate, they merely barely knew of the enemy's presence here based on instinctive reaction, yet were limited by this body.

In battle, if the reaction is merely a little slower, the outcome of the match is already decided.

What's more, one possesses incomparable divine speed while the other can only stare blankly.

This has little to do with the strength of power; it is purely a matter of relevant abilities countering each other.

Without surpassing the limit of acceleration, even an extremely formidable physique is ultimately useless.

The two abilities are not even on the same track.

At least now, although Kara's body surpasses that of most objects, it still cannot reach the point of ignoring all attacks.

On the contrary, it encountered an enemy whose values far surpassed it, whose mechanism was even a dimensionality-reducing strike.

Jiang Xia raised the Holy Emblem Violent Bite Dragon in his hand, and starlight shone from beside him, as if the Milky Way covered the surroundings of the dinosaur union.

Looking closely, those specks of light resembled burning cellular coins; under the summoning of the Holy Emblem Violent Bite Dragon, they directly transformed from cellular coins into pure energy.

That incessantly beating heart suddenly became urgent.

It sensed something amiss; the scales growing on its outer body trembled, but now it was of no avail—time had never been on its side.

The flowing Milky Way turned into an intensely dazzling radiance, like the heavenly river hung upside down.

The violet maw of the Holy Emblem Violent Bite Dragon seemed to come alive, gulping down the power descending from heaven, emitting an indescribably violent tremor.

A patch of violet halo began to expand in the sunlight, blazing violet flames gradually forming into a ferocious purple giant dragon coiling around Jiang Xia, now emitting a destructive roar.

When Jiang Xia gripped the Holy Emblem Violent Bite Dragon, a huge violet ring emitting frost appeared around the junction between him and Kara, firmly locking onto Kara's body.

The trembling sound rang out again; the remaining two also appeared simultaneously, and the true killing move was activated.

Namely, at the moment this arrogant power burst forth, the purple giant dragon shook its wings and erupted with a strong hurricane.

Jiang Xia leapt high, fiercely stepping on the purple giant dragon's head; the holy emblem Violent Bite Dragon axe blade in his hand began to rapidly expand, the four dinosaur Core Coins all shot out, coalescing into one, becoming a huge purple axe that pierced the sky.

At the moment the coalescence completed, the purple giant dragon shuddered its wings, spiral-shaped air waves burst from both sides of its body, passing through that purple halo.

Its shadow seemed to cover the sun, causing the scorching fireball to suddenly erupt a purple corona, rushing toward the motionless dragon silhouette.

Each time they passed through a halo, their strength increased a bit, finally merging into one.

Jiang Xia gripped the wide axe handle with both hands and chopped straight at the dazzling heart; the first strike already ended, the blade tore through the steel-like scales without hindrance,

The sonic boom's sound expanded in the silent realm; no one could know that this battle took place within a stopped time.

Under an acceleration sufficient to surpass light, the dragon axe, bearing enough force to split anything, struck deep into its heart.

The cracking sound exploded throughout the black-gray giant dragon's body, and purple fissures instantly filled its entire body.

Countless surging Electric Arcs covered every inch of its body; finally, every cell Core Coin inside it would be utterly destroyed by this merciless force.

At Kara's body center, the lost Core Coin that had obtained world-destroying energy also shattered into dust with a pop.

They passed through Kara's bluish-black body, and amid an ever louder roar, purple light burst from within, converging at this moment into an incomparable spectacle.

The sun rose, rendering away the corona, then burst forth gorgeous purple fireworks, like an aurora covering half the sky.

Golden sunlight and purple aurora merged together, forming unimaginable splendid colors, like a dreamy illusion.

The purple-gold wave surged like fire, igniting the entire sky.

At the center of the golden great sun, a brilliant dragon roar sounded; the purple giant dragon floated in the sky, its transparent wings spread and soared.

"What a pity, I still wanted to make it into a specimen."

Jiang Xia, standing on the purple giant dragon's head, looked at the holy emblem Violent Bite Dragon in his hand, gazed at this heavenly scenery, and slowly spoke.

Dragon-shaped items are quite aesthetically pleasing collectibles; placed on a table, when free one can pick them up to play with, like a children's toy, they should be quite nice.

Purple fireworks gradually drifted in the air; the light enveloping the horizon was fading, they had once blocked the sun, and as the light gradually receded, an azure and beautiful sky was revealed; looking up from the ground, one could see that clear expanse of sky and the eternal sun.

No one knew when the time domain was lifted; Kara just vanished without a trace.

The area constructed by the Alchemical Formation had also begun to collapse; the spacetime-crossing formation, under the bright sunshine and cool breeze, turned into sky‑scattering fragments. Meanwhile, in the distance, a wholly crimson bird like a flying great bird left a scarlet, dazzling trail in the air.

Under the sunlight, the purple translucent dragon radiated brilliance as it soared freely in the high sky, adding several splashes of gorgeous color to this splendid sky.

When Huo Ye Yingsi was swiftly flying in from afar, his eagle‑sharp eyes clearly saw Jiang Xia, seated on a dragon's horn, waving at him.

Huo Ye Yingsi suddenly let out a breath of relief; the explosion had been so violent that after the white flash he could not even know the battle's result.

When the dazzling white light faded, everything was already over, but this time he could still firmly grasp his hand.

The Dinosaur Alliance's purple armor once again covered Jiang Xia's body, and the great dragon vanished in its final howl, turning into specks of stars.

With its twin wings spread behind, the purple and red Ou Zi flapped its wings from the sky and slowly descended.

On the ground, Anku watched the Ou Zi returning from the sky and, excited, clenched his palm tightly.

Anku now floated in the air, with cell coins scattered all over the ground.

His body had already disintegrated into cell coins, but judging from the flight path of that right hand in the air, Anku was still very happy.

The battle was over, and Anku seized the three crimson Core Coins, restoring his own body amid a burst of fire.

He eagerly tore open an ice pop and shoved it into his mouth, savoring the pleasure and coolness it gave him.

Finally, the earth began to tremble, and all the regions that had been transported to different worlds started to return to their places.

However, the only unexpected thing was the dinosaurs that Jiang Xia had conquered,

which, under Hongshang Guangsheng's arrangement, remained in this cross‑era world spanning thousands to ten‑thousands of years.

In the future, kids will be really lucky, as the dinosaur theme park will actually have real Tyrannosaurus and pterosaurs to see.

Dusk had arrived, and the sun seemed weary, hastily descending from the sky.

For the only time the multinational restaurant was not at full capacity, the owner's wife Baishi personally cooked, looking radiant.

She hummed a lively tune, and the whole shop seemed infected by this joy,

the elongated pitch, together with the airflow from her throat and abdomen, perfectly combined to play a flawless melody.

Except for Anku, who covered his ears with both hands, the others still enjoyed the owner's singing.

This was also a celebration banquet, so it had to be grand; today the place was closed for a day specifically to honor the heroes who saved the world.

After a great war there must be revelry, but when the battle had just ended, most residents of Mengjian Town were terrified, so the celebration would have to wait until the world calmed down.

The city's property loss was not too great, and most people made a huge profit by trading desires with Kara, and this unexpected wealth also gave them a little time to adjust.

Nevertheless, this did not affect Jiang Xia and his few companions' celebration; in fact, apart from the few people present, no one knew they had saved the world.

Such unknown achievements were indeed shocking, but they didn't care about them; they'd rather think about whether the food was tasty, or who the next enemy would be.

Jiang Xia has not forgotten; there are still four Greed that continue to cause him trouble.

……

In the center of Mengjian Town, the spot that Kara had once forced to turn the building into cell coins was constantly emitting crackling sounds; those who didn't know might think a monster had reappeared, but in fact it was just a scorpion as tall as a person made of various mechanical parts.

This is a weapon developed by the Hongshang Biological Research Institute that pairs with Kamen Rider Birth,

it is said that one must deploy 1,000 cell coins to properly unleash its power; for now it is merely cameoing as a construction worker.

This place has already become a ruin, the air filled with dust; even emergency repairs would take at least several days,

but oddly enough, this place seems frequently affected by all sorts of strange events.

The last time, not far from here, a similar explosion occurred, and the blast area seemed to be called the Hongshang Art Museum.

The entire building, including its underground levels, seemed to have been hit by a rocket, the walls cracked open with a huge gash, the ceiling shattered, and everything inside collapsed into the ground.

However, the building's collapse and the museum's sinking are minor; for a conglomerate the size of Hongshang Group, such loss is trivial, and the most important thing is that Hongshang Guangsheng continues researching cell coins and developing human desire, which is why the Hongshang Foundation remains unshakable.

"How convenient, with this thing we should be able to repair this place quickly,"

A construction worker wearing a yellow hat watched the mechanical scorpion, burdened with heavy loads and running back and forth, and exclaimed in admiration.

The machines on the construction site emitted an unusually noisy clamor.

The smell of gunpowder and the swirling dust were blown by the noticeably yellowed wind onto his face, making him sneeze several times, while the mechanical scorpion's tail was raised high, its metallic gleam striking the ground forcefully.

Construction always starts with demolition; the floor tiles ahead were already shattered beyond recognition and needed to be completely cleared.

"Well done, these just need to be poured with cement,"

The construction workers quickly poured cement onto the cleared ground, which was now only soil.

A flash of red light passed through the mechanical scorpion's two eyes; its AI told it that new floor tiles should now be laid.

The delivered floor tiles and cement bonded perfectly; to be safe, the mechanical scorpion tapped its own steel tail until a crisp clack sounded, then nodded and went to handle the next tile.

And as it left, a faint crack, visible to the naked eye, suddenly appeared in the soil beneath the cement.

In an unrepeatable coincidence, what should have been only a tiny fissure began to spread outward under the noisy construction machines.

Beneath the Hongshang Art Museum, where the Ou Zi seal stone hall had once been stored and now lay completely submerged and sealed underground, a faint crack suddenly appeared.

Following it, a golden alchemical matrix rose from the soil‑buried ground.

That crack began to spread wildly underground, and countless cell coins erupted from all directions, surrounding the unknown area.

With a boom, the deep‑buried ground suddenly collapsed, revealing a massive cavity.

Inside the cavity appeared a humanoid sculpture made of rock, looking exactly like Ou Zi.

As cell coins surged in, debris on the Ou Zi stone statue began to flake off, revealing its blood‑red eyes, though cracked.

The moment those crimson eyes lit up, a massive amount of cell coins were all absorbed and infused into its body.

Bathed in a sea of cell coins, the rust‑like head fully shed its petrification, golden‑yellow claws pierced the rock, and the stone body was reborn through the baptism of desire.

"I have awakened in this era,"

A deep voice resonated throughout the underground cavity, echoing to its farthest depth.
