Their hearts pounded wildly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He’s the Singularity of Chaos... how is that possible?!\" Duke Ashvale exclaimed, his voice laced with horror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The legendary figure from the Seven Singularities had appeared before them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And that man was none other than the Singularity of Chaos—the strongest among them all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had he not witnessed it with his own eyes, he would have dismissed it as mere fantasy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Singularity of Chaos...\" Duke Austin muttered, swallowing hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That black-cloaked figure was the very man who had once saved the Western Duke’s territory—Valcrest—from destruction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since then, his name had shone brightly, becoming renowned throughout the Great Velmora Empire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many had searched for him, each with their own hidden motives. But ever since that incident, he had vanished—until now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And now... the legend stood before them once more, leaving everyone suspended between awe and fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only the four Dukes, but also Ragan and the royal princes were equally stunned by the sight of the Singularity of Chaos hovering in the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Singularity of Chaos...\" Ragan’s eyes blazed with ambition and excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ever since the incident in the Western Duke’s territory, he had longed to find this man and bring him into the fold of the Great Velmora Empire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the figure had vanished without a trace, and Ragan had been forced to bury that ambition deep within.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, however, the legend had returned—and at the perfect time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With him, they no longer needed to fear the black dragon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is that the legendary figure equal to Grandfather?\" Adalen’s eyes widened in awe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His grandfather was the Singularity of Light, one of the Seven Singularities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he didn’t reside in the Great Velmora Empire but in the Holy Empire of Valtanir.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a result, Adalen rarely met him, much less interacted with him directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even so, he clearly remembered their meeting a year ago, when his grandfather had solemnly warned him to never cross one man in this world—the Singularity of Chaos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the time, Adalen had been puzzled. He hadn’t understood why his grandfather’s expression was so grave or why there was a flicker of fear in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No further explanation had been given. His grandfather had only said that the Singularity of Chaos was a man who should never be provoked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His power was beyond comprehension. Even now, Adalen could recall the unspoken terror behind his grandfather’s gaze at the mere mention of that name.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If I can bring him to my side... wouldn’t victory in the battle for the throne be assured?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The thought flickered through his mind, narrowing his eyes as a faint smile curved his lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His grandfather had only warned him never to offend the Singularity of Chaos—not against befriending him or seeking his help.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adalen was certain that if he could gain the support of the Singularity of Chaos, along with his grandfather’s backing—the Singularity of Light—the throne would be his without question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he also knew winning over the Singularity of Chaos would be no easy task—almost impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were strangers, with no bond or connection between them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He also recalled that his father had once tried to lure the Singularity of Chaos to the Empire, but it ended in failure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the incident in the Western Duke’s territory, the man simply vanished, rendering his father’s plan useless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most importantly, Adalen was sure he wasn’t the only one harboring such ambitions—his brothers did too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he glanced at Aldric and Cedric, he noticed their expressions shift ever so slightly into well-hidden, knowing smiles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Singularity of Chaos!\" Zarak’s eyes sparkled with admiration and excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he could win that man to his side, he was absolutely certain he would be next in line for the throne, succeeding his father as Emperor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, he knew it wouldn’t be easy—but it wasn’t impossible either. His grandfather owned the Red Obsidian Trading House, the second wealthiest in the Great Velmora Empire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that wealth behind him, Zarak was confident he could sway the Singularity of Chaos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Evalyn and Elina were equally stunned by the appearance of the Singularity of Chaos—their hearts racing so fast it was hard to keep calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Singularity of Chaos... It really is him!\" Evalyn’s eyes blazed with the fierce light of fanaticism.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was the figure she had longed for day and night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man who saved the Western Duke’s territory from the catastrophe-level dragon had completely captured her heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was the very reason she trained relentlessly and dreamed of becoming stronger—to protect those she cared about.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wanted to be like him—a hero with the power to protect everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm?\" Elina furrowed her brows, a strange feeling stirring within her. \"Is it just my imagination? Why does it feel so real, as if he’s connected to me by blood?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she quickly pushed the thought aside. She only had one older brother—Nolan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no way someone as powerful as the Singularity of Chaos could be related to her, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, the Seven Mages of the Constellations struggled to conceal their shock and awe at the sight of the Singularity of Chaos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He really appeared!\" Orion clenched his fists, his fervor burning bright.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That man was his idol—the hero he had admired since the day the Duke of Valcrest’s land was invaded by the Catastrophe-level dragon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, seeing his idol in person, his spirit surged so strongly that his body trembled slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Singularity of Chaos?\"The black dragon’s eyes narrowed with caution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though it did not dwell within human lands, it recognized certain powerful figures among them—the Singularities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one knew for sure if all Singularities were truly human or if some belonged to other races, but most believed they were all human.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, the dragon’s crimson eyes flared sharply, burning with a deadly, overwhelming intent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Singularity of Chaos... So you’re the one behind the death of the Catastrophe-level Dragon in the Western Empire?\"The dragon growled, its voice cold and filled with hatred.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Singularity of Chaos showed a brief flicker of surprise, then relaxed into a playful smile. \"Oh? You mean that damn dragon that slaughtered so many humans? Yeah, I killed it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment the words left his lips, an eerie silence swept across the area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A purplish-black aura erupted from the dragon’s body, shaking the surrounding space violently as if it might collapse at any moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bastard! I’ve finally found you! I’ll kill you!\"The dragon roared in furious rage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sky, which had just begun to calm, now rumbled again. Relentless bolts of black lightning tore through the air, engulfing the entire capital in a terrifying, soul-piercing storm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn it! The black dragon is on a rampage!\" Draco shouted in horror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dragon’s aura intensified to a hundred times its previous strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Draco was certain that if he fought now, death was inevitable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet the Singularity of Chaos showed not a hint of fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He raised his hand, curled his index finger in a casual challenge, and smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come on, step forward. It’s been a while since I last moved,\" he said lightly. \"And you...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pointed at the dragon. \"Perfect for a warm-up bag.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1210,"2026-05-30T06:57:16.060Z","2026-06-01T04:30:34.828Z",1,"novelbin.me","82beecf9b28958318f23f0a4f21da32d688156ff5a58adc67726df80706d4beb","the-hidden-extra-the-lazy-prince-refuses-to-asce-chapter-34","the-hidden-extra-the-lazy-prince-refuses-to-asce-chapter-32",748,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-hidden-extra-the-lazy-prince-refuses-to-asce-cover.jpg"]
