But I won’t let things go your way, Leon. I believe that Carl wouldn’t hesitate to carry out my orders, even if it means... The cost of his life.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as the words fell, Carl’s body began to tremble violently once again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But unlike before, this time, it wasn’t the kind of trembling that indicated Atos was forcibly controlling his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rather, it was as if a powerful force was rampaging inside him, twisting his limbs and torso into shapes that no longer resembled a human. The scene was unbearably horrifying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Crack—crack!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Crack! Crack!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Carl’s bones made a terrifying noise, and the muscles all over his body tensed and contracted violently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No—no! Master! — Don’t do this... to me—Ahhhhh!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Carl screamed, his body writhing in agony.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A foul-smelling fluid spurted from his face, nostrils, and eyes, his lips curling back as his tongue hung limply, as if he had completely lost consciousness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sight left Leon and the gathered Dragon Kings utterly shocked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What... what is he doing?” Rosvisser forced herself to suppress the overwhelming nausea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon’s brows furrowed tightly as he stared at the gradually silent Carl. He didn’t know what was happening, but...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Carl’s body suddenly emitted a radiant light. Leon’s gaze locked onto the Five-Spirit Crown in Carl’s hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He seized the opportunity, lunging forward with all his might, reaching for the crown...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But just as Leon was less than a step away from Carl, a powerful energy began to surge and burst from Carl’s body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dark purple energy shot out from the numerous cracks that appeared on Carl’s skin, spreading like a spiderweb.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn it... That madman!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the time Leon realized what was about to happen, it was already too late.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a deafening boom, a blinding purple light exploded in front of Leon’s eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the next instant, a massive cloud of dark, demonic mist rose up from the Northern Lights Glacier, surging straight into the heavens.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire earth trembled violently from the intensity of the blast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the distance, several snow-capped mountains began to avalanche. Birds and beasts fled in panic, and glaciers shattered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that moment, it felt like the end of the world in the extreme north.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wave after wave of searing heat spread outward, melting the surrounding snow and turning it into scalding steam that diffused rapidly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Carl’s forced self-detonation lasted several minutes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rosvisser and Poseidon managed to retreat to a safe distance before the blast hit them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Carl had been less than two meters away from Leon at the time, effectively placing him at the very center of the explosion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Poseidon and the other Dragon Kings hadn’t forcibly restrained Rosvisser, she would have already rushed into the blast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Leon!! Leon!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The aftermath of the explosion had not yet dissipated when Rosvisser rushed into the scorching heat and swirling dust.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her voice cracked with tears as she shouted Leon’s name again and again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though they had retreated to a safe distance, the sheer impact of the blast had inflicted minor injuries on everyone present. Those who were weaker were left dazed and disoriented.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was important to remember that everyone here was at least at the level of a Dragon King, yet they still couldn’t withstand the force of that self-detonation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention Leon, who had been almost in direct contact with Carl—the walking bomb.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Leon! Where are you?! Don’t scare me!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rosvisser staggered through the smoke and dust, her voice growing more frantic and desperate as she searched for Leon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Poseidon and the others also rushed in to help.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Leon!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Leon! Where are you?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their shouts echoed in the air, only to be swallowed by the vast expanse of the glacier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just when Rosvisser was on the verge of breaking down in tears, she finally caught sight of a staggering, kneeling figure in the distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She rushed over without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Leon! Leon, are you okay?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rosvisser held onto Leon’s arm, his wrist and face bearing burn marks. His expression was exhausted to the extreme.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But beyond the exhaustion, Rosvisser also noticed something else in his eyes...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unyielding rage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon shook his head, trying to regulate his breathing and regain his strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That explosion just now wasn’t Carl’s own power. It was a force...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t rush. Take your time,” Rosvisser gently patted his back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon coughed a few times, then continued:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It was a power transmitted by Atos. The sheer insanity of it—to have such a high-level transmission ability, yet not to save his own subordinate but instead to use his body as a bomb...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Rosvisser was stunned speechless by Atos’s actions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She clutched Leon’s arm tightly, feeling the strength slowly return to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Did you use the Shadow of Sumeru to shield yourself from the blast?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yeah, I poured what little magic power I had left into the Sumeru Shadow, just barely managing to shield ❀ Nоvеlігht ❀ (Don’t copy, read here) myself. But...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rosvisser raised an eyebrow. “But what?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon silently reached into his robes and pulled out several shards of metal. The fragments were charred, bearing the grim marks of the explosion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But these are what’s left of the crown after the self-detonation... Atos never intended to let Carl leave with the crown. He was just waiting for the right moment to destroy it and, hopefully, kill me along the way.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rosvisser’s eyes remained fixed on the shattered Five-Spirit Crown in Leon’s hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shine gradually faded from the fragments, and the power of Zeus that had been sealed within was completely gone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This was the outcome they anticipated from the start. Once those in the Void Realm obtain a divine relic, the most effective way to deal with it is to destroy it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back then, Kaiser hadn’t destroyed the Wind Spirit Core only because he was still wavering internally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Carl was different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was Atos’s loyal dog, a mindless tool, a disposable pawn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Using him to bait Leon and then detonate himself to destroy the crown—it was all planned perfectly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I was still a step too late, Rosvisser...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If I had reached Carl before he detonated, none of this would have happened...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rosvisser pursed her lips, holding onto Leon’s arm tightly. She said softly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t blame yourself, Leon. They used the Thunder Spirit Core and the Golden Thunder Clan to distract you, to buy time. That was how they managed to seize the crown.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon lowered his gaze, his eyes flashing with deep frustration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But no matter how you look at it, we’ve lost one of the divine relics that could suppress the Void Gate. What are we supposed to do now? And...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And the last thing Atos said to me was that stopping the Void Realm’s descent was an ‘unsolvable choice’ for me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon’s expression darkened. “I have no idea what he meant by that. What kind of choice does he expect me to make?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rosvisser was equally puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the couple discussed, a voice suddenly called out from a distance:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Quick! There’s still a messenger dragon over here!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, the two of them supported each other as they hurried over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It looks like this messenger dragon was also affected by the explosion,” Poseidon said, cradling the dragon in his palm and feeling for its pulse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s still alive, just temporarily unconscious.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon raised his eyes slightly and examined the dragon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This looks like a messenger dragon from Saint Heath Academy. When the academy sent us the assessment notices, I saw it a few times.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Quickly, see what message it’s carrying.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Poseidon removed the scroll tube from the dragon’s back and shook out a letter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sender’s name was: Safina.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The recipients were “Leon Casmod & Rosvisser.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without opening it, Poseidon handed the letter directly to the couple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon took the letter, and together with Rosvisser, they opened it and began to read.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rustle...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before they had even finished reading, Rosvisser’s hand trembled, crushing the letter in her grip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon’s pupils quivered as he muttered in disbelief:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So this... this is the ‘unsolvable choice’ that Atos meant...”\u003C\u002Fp>",1397,"2026-06-06T15:10:08.963Z",1,"novelbin.me","d723b23b579b5ffb37943f546cdaac7bf0403c197caf931733f28668c5a4e540","shut-up-malevolent-dragon-i-don-t-want-to-have-a-chapter-782","shut-up-malevolent-dragon-i-don-t-want-to-have-a-chapter-780",914,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fshut-up-malevolent-dragon-i-don-t-want-to-have-a-cover.jpg"]
