Chapter 1054: Rainbow Dragon Knight

Giant Dragon!

The fierce roar of the Bolt Gun cannot drown out the soaring dragon's roar.

People are no strangers to giant dragons; this powerful race, favored by the Creator, once ruled the world. Though now few remain and their glory has faded, they still leave a deep impression, and giant dragons rarely absent from historical tales and heroic legends.

Regarding the types and appearances of giant dragons, any passerby on the streets of the Empire can speak a few words, and many have even conducted research.

However, when people saw giant dragons flying out of the portal, they were instantly stunned.

Is this a giant dragon?

Unlike the ferocious image from rumors, these massive beings soaring in the sky possess sleek lines and graceful posture, their bodies covered in crystal‑like colored scales that are fine and smooth, exuding a hazy rainbow glow.

On their heads grow a pair of slender translucent dragon horns, the crowns extending backward to form a splendid triangular wing crown.

Their wings resemble bird wings, spanning nearly thirty meters when spread, and the tail fin resembles a fish tail.

Their limbs are very strong, pupils like rainbow light, overall shape similar to giant dragons, yet they exude mystery, elegance, and a sense of power.

"Rainbow Dragon!"

On the plaza before the Temple of Truth, several Empire councilors shouted in surprise.

This is the Rainbow Dragon, one of the legendary dragon species!

Many residents of Nuosiruier also recognized it; the legendary dragon species, the most powerful and rare giant dragons in the world, divine dragons are seen head but not tail, and each legendary dragon species possesses unique and terrifying abilities, truly a species that exists only in legend.

Rainbow Dragons are the most adept at casting spells among giant dragons; their understanding of magic far exceeds that of ordinary races, and they possess superior intelligence.

Today, Rainbow Dragons appeared in the Imperial Capital!

Then everyone immediately realized a problem: there are too many rainbow dragons in the sky!

When the first Rainbow Dragon appeared, people were still in shock, then they saw the second, third, fifth… each portal released a Rainbow Dragon, and after a few breaths, the number of Rainbow Dragons in the sky exceeded a hundred and kept rising.

"Didn't they say legendary dragon species are extremely rare?"

People stared dumbfounded at the ever‑increasing Rainbow Dragons above, their minds blank.

Residents fleeing the attack range of the evil god's followers even forgot to run, standing still and gazing at the sky‑filled Rainbow Dragons, frozen like clay.

"All are Rainbow Dragons!"

"Even counting all legendary dragon species worldwide, there shouldn't be this many, right?"

"Are they really Rainbow Dragons?"

Not only the mortals on the ground were stunned; the Empire's Three Gods also showed incredulous expressions. The laughing Deceiver Luo Xi, his face frozen, stared at the giant dragon hunting his followers outside Fu Kong Cheng and shrieked, "What are these things?"

In distant heavens, the bottomless Abyss, and the void's depths, astonished cries rang out across multiple divine realms.

Deities are the most learned beings and also have knowledge of legendary dragon species.

Time Dragon, Power Dragon, and Rainbow Dragon are the three most renowned legendary dragon species; even counting from antiquity, their total number is under a hundred. Even if the slightly weaker Starlight Dragon, Void Dragon, and Scroll Dragon are included, legendary dragons certainly would not exceed three hundred.

Yet at this moment, three hundred Rainbow Dragons hovered over Nuosiruier!

"Created by Bahamuth's divine power?"

This is the gods' subconscious reaction, but Bahamuth's nature is well known; he has no interest in mortal followers and would never meddle in worldly affairs.

Moreover, Bahamuth's divine power is not considered strong.

Creating so many adolescent Rainbow Dragons is not only useless to the benevolent dragon god, but also wastes the already limited divine power.

"Knights on the dragons' backs!"

Both deities and mortals noticed that each Rainbow Dragon bore a radiant golden knight on its back!

Three hundred Rainbow Dragon Knights!

This discovery numbed everyone; Dragon Knights are the coveted extraordinary profession for countless people, especially the youth—who hasn't dreamed of riding a dragon? In popular knight novels, nine out of ten protagonists are Dragon Knights, and the remaining one is still pursuing the path.

Whether it's the benevolent Silver Dragon, Gold Dragon, the evil Red Dragon, Black Dragon, or even the ugly Bone Dragon, Poison Dragon, any Dragon Knight commands immense envy.

One doesn't even need a true dragon; possessing a flying drake as a mount is already satisfying.

Becoming a knight of a legendary dragon is something even novels dare not write.

And yet there are three hundred before us!

These Rainbow Dragon Knights are towering, each over two meters tall, clad in splendid armor as if forged from gold; their breastplates bear a crossed warhammer and crescent moon emblem, massive shoulder plates decorated with a double‑headed eagle, helmets sharply pointed with a tuft of dense red plume resembling a horsehair, as if dyed with blood.

The Dragon Knights are equipped with two weapons; one is a Bolt Gun like that of an Extreme Warrior, held in the left hand, firing fiercely at the evil god's followers.

Each bullet can blast several enemies into fragments.

In their right hand they wield a massive spear taller than their own bodies, nearly three meters, gleaming like gold; its tip is a blade over half a meter long, the shaft as thick as an arm, engraved with intricate patterns and runes.

Every few seconds, a Dragon Knight aims the spear at an enemy, and the tip instantly emits a lightning beam hundreds of meters long.

The thick golden beam, like the sharpest sword blade, sweeps through the air with the Dragon Knight's swing, slashing at the chaotic Luo Xi followers filling the sky.

Any enemy struck by the beam instantly has their armor shatter and body cleaved.

Some Luo Xi followers who evaded the lightning beam still fled in panic, only to be hit by the Rainbow Dragon's "Rainbow Breath," turning to ash in an instant, leaving no trace.

Gunfire, beam, dragon breath!

Extreme Warrior, Empire's Fist, and Rainbow Dragon Knights, though numbering under three thousand together, displayed terrifying combat power; the first wave of Luo Xi followers pouring out of Tirise Fu Kong Cheng exceeded one hundred thousand, like a spreading black cloud, yet within a few breaths that evil cloud was shattered.

A rain of blood fell from the sky.

Luo Xi followers, manipulated by the Dark Sun Divine Realm, showed no fear and wildly assaulted the two legions and the Dragon Knights' defenses.

However, reality does not bend to Willpower; before the chasm‑like power gap, not a single Luo Xi follower could survive the charge into Nuosiruier.

Deceiver Luo Xi, after the initial surprise, showed no intention to retreat.

The Dark Sun Divine Realm instead expanded rapidly.

In Tirise Fu Kong Cheng, black‑mist torrents roiled violently, the Iola Core was frantically drained of energy, and more followers emerged within the divine realm; they were teleported from distant subcontinents, instantly driven mad, becoming Luo Xi's slaves.

Then, Luo Xi followers continuously surged out of Fu Kong Cheng, launching a fearless charge.

In the blink of an eye, the enemy multiplied tenfold.

Tirise Fu Kong Cheng resembled an endless demonic nest, spewing evil god followers outward like a black torrent surging in all directions, overwhelming everything.

Extreme Warrior, the Empire's Fist, and the Rainbow Dragon Knight Order increased their pressure, scattering in the sky to form a defensive line like reefs in a towering wave, unmoving no matter how the enemy struck, and every second tens of thousands of Luo Xi's followers were bombed to death.

A majestic silver sword light cleaved down from the high sky.

Boom!

The God of Justice slashed into the Dark Sun Divine Realm again, a hundred‑meter‑long sword light aimed straight at the deceiver Luo Xi; they raised the spear‑sword, about to kill the incarnation of the God of Justice as last time, but in the instant before the clash, the God of Justice erupted with boundless vitality, and their strength, defense, and speed surged several times.

At the same time, a silent spell arrived through the air and struck Luo Xi directly.

The Empire's three gods have joined forces!

The Earth Mother bestowed the "Life Hymn" upon Ti Rui Er, and the God of Magic released a sequential spell on Luo Xi.

"Mind Annihilation", "Absolute Ice Seal", and "Great Annihilation Technique"!

All three spells are Ten-ring Spell.

The mind of Luo Xi stalled for an instant; the incarnation's surface formed a layer of frost, the surrounding temperature dropped to the extreme instantly, even space froze, causing their movement to pause for a blink, unable to evade the ensuing Great Annihilation Technique.

Although the Dark Sun Divine Realm provided protection, the potency of the three spells was somewhat weakened, yet Luo Xi's incarnation still suffered severe damage.

The God of Justice seized the opportunity, and the silver holy sword struck the top of Luo Xi's head.

Boom!

Luo Xi's incarnation finally collapsed.

The massive sword light split them in two; the blade pierced the ground of Fu Kong Cheng, carving a gorge hundreds of meters long.

Ti Rui Er's figure appeared below; looking up, the split Luo Xi incarnation shed not a drop of divine blood, the surrounding Dark Sun Divine Realm boiled wildly, the two halves drew close, streams of black mist mended the wounds, seemingly about to recover.

At the same time, boundless black mist swept in.

The Dark Sun Divine Realm was pervasive; Ti Rui Er instantly became as immobile as if stuck in quicksand, and they heard Luo Xi's frantic ramblings in their ears, twisting their own will.

The God of Magic saw this scene and immediately felt it was tricky.

Luo Xi poured divine power into this high‑grade incarnation far beyond expectations, and also altered the rune array of Ti Rui Si Fu Kong Cheng, siphoning the Iola Core's energy, merging it with their own Dark Sun Divine Realm, making their strength far surpass that of a typical high‑grade incarnation.

Unless a high‑grade incarnation descends, even killing Luo Xi's incarnation is hard to achieve.

VijesCui looked up at the sky.

Descending a high‑grade incarnation into the Prime Material Plane is not easy; it takes at least ten minutes to arrive and creates a huge disturbance. At this moment many deities are watching, impossible to hide from their eyes; hostile deities' slightest interference makes successful descent almost impossible.

The Black Emperor, the Spider Queen, the Mother of Evil Dragon, and the Demon Lord will not stand by idly.

Even if they succeed in descending, it will be too late; by then, Ti Rui Si Fu Kong Cheng will have already leapt out of the Prime Material Plane, likely triggering a massive divine war!

"The Iola Core would rather be destroyed than fall into Luo Xi's hands."

"They seized Ti Rui Si Fu Kong Cheng long ago, yet did not act on the Iola Core, evidently fearing I would notice. Now Ti Rui Er's floating city is exposed, they have no more reservations, so they even let so many followers go to their deaths."

"The Iola Core contains my Silver Fire…"

"Is that the method?"

VijesCui hesitated; back then, Ao Gu Le Wei created the Iola Core under their guidance and ignited it with Silver Fire. This Silver Fire is closely tied to the God of Magic's priesthood; in a sense, Silver Fire is the embodiment of the God of Magic's divine power, containing their great power essence.

They need only a thought to withdraw the Silver Fire, extinguishing the Iola Core.

However, all Iola Cores would cease operating.

If that happens, the Empire's eight floating cities and Lei En's nine Star Destroyers would fall due to loss of power.

The Oriense Empire's power also plummeted from its peak to the abyss!

"Madam, please cooperate with me."

Lei En's voice sounded again beside VijesCui's ear; VijesCui looked toward the Augustus ship, her gaze piercing the armor to land on Lei En on the bridge, hearing him say, "Please, madam, restrain the deceiver's incarnation, give me a chance, perhaps we can kill them."

"Fine!"

VijesCui agreed without hesitation.

She instantly grasped Lei En's intent; the main cannons of the nine Star Destroyers were near full charge, all concentrating fire, perhaps able to kill Luo Xi's incarnation.

The God of Magic reached out, a pale slender hand passing through the void, probing into the Dark Sun Divine Realm, hooking onto the God of Justice's shoulder, and gave a gentle pull.

Ti Rui Er's incarnation was instantly pulled out of the divine realm, escaping Luo Xi's entanglement.

Then, they flickered, appearing within Ti Rui Si Fu Kong Cheng, only dozens of meters from the reviving Luo Xi incarnation; for a deity, that distance is almost face‑to‑face, a single thought can strike the opponent.

A kaleidoscopic force field expanded with VijesCui at its center.

Magic Divine Realm!

In their divine realm, any spell is under their absolute control; whether cast by themselves or released by enemies, none can cause even a speck of harm. Magic and energy obey their Willpower; the enemy's spells instantly become their own, and casting can be prohibited.

Their mastered One‑ring to Ten‑ring Spells can be instantly triggered in the divine realm, though they consume divine power.

And the potency reaches its extreme!

The God of Magic is the master of all magic in the world!

The moment they unfolded the divine realm, an invisible wave spread, enveloping the entire Ti Rui Si Fu Kong Cheng; the central hue faded, leaving the world in only black and white.

Time Reversal!

VijesCui expended divine power to focus on maintaining the Time Reversal.

As a deity, Luo Xi is naturally immune to time spells, but only they themselves are exempt; aside from them, the Luo Xi followers who were wildly charging back retreat, and the boiling black mist of the Dark Sun Divine Realm crawls like a snail, inching toward the God of Magic.

The Magic Divine Realm collided with the Dark Sun Divine Realm; the Time Reversal did not fully work, but it produced a Time Stop effect.

The restoration of Luo Xi's incarnation was delayed.

The rune arrays of the floating city fell into stasis, hovering silently in the sky.

Tick! Tick!

After a few seconds, when Luo Xi's two halves rejoined, nearing a humanoid form, distant Star Destroyers erupted with light brighter than the sun, nine massive beams firing simultaneously, like nine swords tens of miles long, piercing Ti Rui Si Fu Kong Cheng from various directions.

The black, bubble‑like Dark Sun Divine Realm was instantly pierced.

The Magic Divine Realm also collapsed as a result.

VijesCui's figure vanished, time returned to its normal flow, and at the instant they departed, the nine beams fired together, striking Luo Xi's incarnation.

Boom!

At this moment, everyone's vision contains only the nine beams of light; nothing else can be seen.
