golden liquid beside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thump.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thump.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thump.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rhythm echoed like a heartbeat, syncing with the energy pulsing through the fluid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vmmm!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A surge of violent yet precisely controlled power rushed up his arm, compressed and restructured within his meridians.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A dense energy sphere formed in his palm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ethan flicked it casually.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM—!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The creature was slammed straight into the cavern wall, the entire chamber shaking from the impact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The insect let out a stunned, guttural roar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From what it could sense, Ethan's total energy reserves were clearly far below its own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even with the golden liquid's boost—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no way he should be able to dominate like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How can you possibly—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ethan didn't answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, he hadn't even activated the Powered Combat Armor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the energy pathways, compression methods, and feedback rhythms from the armor—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He'd memorized them all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, he was replicating that system.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Using his own body as the conduit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"RAAARGH—!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The creature snapped, fully enraged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Energy surged wildly around it, condensing into a massive battle axe in its hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dragging its heavy body, it charged straight at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ethan—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vmmm!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An Energy Greatsword formed in his grip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two clashed head-on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A shrill, metallic screech tore through the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next instant—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The creature's body jolted violently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its battle axe shattered on contact, and Ethan's greatsword didn't even slow down—it carved straight into the creature's shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then the full force detonated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The monster was cleaved clean in two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even then—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It didn't die right away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its mangled body writhed, eyes locked on Ethan with venomous hatred.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You thieves…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You rely on this place's power… but one day, it'll devour you too…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ethan didn't bother listening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Energy Greatsword came down again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And ended it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silence returned to the cavern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ethan turned back toward the golden sea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was still weighing the possibility—could he take this entire world with him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The surface of the liquid began to ripple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blup.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blup.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A soft, pure light rose slowly from the depths of the golden ocean.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a translucent, radiant orb.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment it appeared—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Idra emerged from within Ethan's body, almost instinctively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her voice trembled with excitement as she gently cradled the orb in her hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This… this is pure Dragon God essence.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"May I… have it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ethan looked at her and nodded without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You can.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But absorb it here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Taking it outside would be too dangerous.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Idra nodded obediently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She closed her eyes and began channeling the power within the orb.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The golden liquid around them seemed to respond to an unseen call, surging toward her in a frenzy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vmmm—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vmmm—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vmmm—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The aura of the Dragon God erupted outward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blinding golden light swallowed the entire cavern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Idra's small frame began to shift within the glow—growing, reshaping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her presence surged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bloodline resonance kicked in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her racial traits began breaking through their limits—again and again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Twice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More than ten times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Evolution—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still ongoing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…She's evolving?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ethan forgot to breathe for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stared at Idra, eyes wide with disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his understanding, the Dragon God form was already the pinnacle of dragonkind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A being that stood at the apex of countless worlds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That ceiling was being shattered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, another familiar figure slowly emerged from within him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Auri.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She hovered in midair, brow slightly furrowed as she gazed at the churning golden sea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This power… doesn't fully resonate with me,\" she said softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in the next breath, her eyes sharpened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Still, it's too pure.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"For a Fairy God, it's rare nourishment.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without another word, she flashed forward and dove straight into the golden liquid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vmmm—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two completely different, yet strangely harmonious auras spread through the cavern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The majesty of the Dragon God.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The grace of the Fairy God.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Power surged like a rising tide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Idra and Auri's energy climbed at a pace visible to the naked eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No resistance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if they'd been waiting for this moment all along.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It didn't take long—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before both of their auras reached the very edge of Tier 29's peak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ethan's body jolted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt it clearly—an unfamiliar yet deeply familiar force awakening inside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn't external energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Resonance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over time, his power had become deeply intertwined with Idra's and Auri's.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their bloodlines, their souls—bound together in a rare, closed-loop cycle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So when the two girls broke through their limits—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shockwave didn't stop with them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It surged back into Ethan without restraint.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His aura began to rise—fast and uncontrollably.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Feylora was stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She started to step forward, but Ethan raised a hand sharply to stop her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't come closer.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice was low and urgent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Return to Emerald Castle.
