Chapter 466

As countless abilities unique to aberrant dragons flashed through his mind, Seth was momentarily puzzled.

These were all powerful abilities that had appeared before, and the owner of 【Lord of Billions of Radiance】 was an aberrant gem dragon.

Yet in the end, he suppressed his curiosity and did not ask aloud.

After all, based on Seth's observations, his granddaughter and the other had gotten along quite well—they could already be considered friends.

Once they returned to the group's territory, the two dragons would have plenty of time to grow familiar with each other.

By the time he became a great-grandfather, how could he not know this little dragon's profession information?

Unfortunately, Seth's plan was beautiful, but he didn't know Li Ang was a scumbag who'd forget you after getting what he wanted.

Well, actually not—he didn't mind having relations with female beings, but having children was out of the question.

Not until he truly gained the ability to protect himself, at least.

In Li Ang's view, to truly gain self-preservation ability, he'd need to reach at least the Eighth or Ninth Nengji level, given that the two recent gazes had clearly signaled that upper Nengji-level powerhouses were hunting him.

Under these circumstances, he naturally wouldn't consider offspring.

After all, offspring were an extension of bloodline, not an extension of himself.

On the other side, Danika and the others gradually regained their composure from their earlier panic.

Or rather, they'd become somewhat numb.

For Da Lei Shechu, who had known Li Ang even before he became a professional, she was already used to the youth pulling off big stunts every now and then.

Second Nengji, Alchemist, Third Nengji, Planetary Viceroy

Now that he'd successfully slain a Sixth Nengji professional, it shouldn't be strange at all—right?

But that's terrifying!

How many years have passed since this dragon first revealed First Nengji power? Remember, in the same time, she'd barely touched the threshold of Third Nengji.

And even that was only possible under Christine's guidance.

'Could this guy have been pretending to be weak all along?'

Looking at that unmistakably familiar face, Danika couldn't help but mutter to herself.

Unfortunately, Da Lei Shechu didn't know that in this era, pretending to be weak was no longer trendy—Li Ang actually wanted to appear as invincible from the moment he showed up, like that other guy who kept hunting sheep.

Unlike Danika and the others, the 【Simulated Servants】 now felt an incredibly complex mix of emotions.

Ottavio was fine—he'd lost gracefully and was merely astonished by Li Ang's displayed power.

But Christine was different.

The golden-haired woman now felt her past groveling had been utterly correct.

That was a Sixth Nengji!

Remember, the Master himself was only at this level!

And if her master could already fight across levels, didn't that mean she'd never again have to fear threats from the Master?!

Thinking of this, Christine's face immediately lit up with an obsequious smile, leaving Danika puzzled about what her former superior was up to.

As for Kaeus—

The man had completely fallen into a daze.

He wasn't stupid; he naturally realized the late Lord Norton had been this dragon in disguise.

Could such a thing truly exist in this world?

It made Kaeus feel he'd lived his entire life in vain.

After glancing at his former subordinate, who was practically licking the dragon's toes, he inwardly cursed himself for having acquired an extra part.

But he'd heard that dragonkind had unusual aesthetics—so perhaps he wasn't without hope.

Yet the moment Kaeus entertained this thought, he felt his master cast a cold glance his way.

I'm obedient now, please spare me.

After a moment of silence, Seth couldn't help exclaiming: "By the grace of Bahamut Your Majesty, I never expected you, so young, to have reached this point."

As a crystal dragon among gem dragons, Seth would normally invoke the name of the gem dragon deity Sadiwo.

But considering this little dragon was likely mutated from a metal dragon, he chose instead to invoke the name of the platinum dragon deity.

Of course, he might have misjudged—but the sovereign surely wouldn't care.

Unfortunately, after uttering those words, Seth felt no gaze from that sovereign.

Hearing this, Li Ang slightly shook his head: "Grandfather, you flatter me too much."

He knew his own limits—even after defeating Yize, he felt no sense of pride.

The opponent was merely a fragment, and the gap between it and the original could be described as heaven and earth; at best, it could be regarded as a weak Sixth Nengji.

Moreover, he'd paid a heavy price—he wouldn't be able to use 【Heavenly Sovereign】 for a long time.

Seeing the young dragon's humility, Seth's eyes flickered with approval.

He'd seen too many of his kind perish from arrogance and didn't want his successor to follow that path.

Seth didn't dwell on the topic, shifting instead to another matter: "But I've never heard of this Yize you mentioned."

Logically, someone who could serve as an assistant to the 【Worm Demon】 shouldn't be an obscure figure.

Yet he combed through all his memories and found no one matching the description.

Recalling the earlier conversation, Seth proposed a possibility: "Perhaps he isn't Yize."

"I thought the same."

This aligned perfectly with Li Ang's own speculation.

Yanyan's odd behavior made him realize Yize might not be merely Yize—after all, 【Immortal Evolution】 wouldn't obey a 【Taiyi Miracle】 member without reason.

As for Manfred, mentioned several times by Yanyan, he was likely the Grand Designer recorded in intelligence as having once clashed with Yize.

But what exactly had transpired between the two back then remained unknown.

'I still need to leave as soon as possible, otherwise Yize's main body will likely notice something's wrong very soon.'

Although 【Divine Art: Infinity】 had prevented Yize from sending the message back to his main body, let's not forget that the centipede was also present on the scene, and the cockroach-man, who had already fled to god-knows-where, would clearly inform the other party of what had happened here.

Moreover, even if the centipede didn't speak, Yize's main body would most likely still detect the anomaly.

Recalling the pure-white spider he had "seen," a hint of solemnity flashed through Li Ang's eyes.

Fortunately, the battle just now hadn't been entirely without gains; after the centipede vanished, each profession began its settlement.

Glancing at the refreshed messages on his profession panel, Li Ang's brow eased slightly.

【Control of Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind, returning the world to silence, profession experience +124351】

【Unity of Heaven and Man, profession experience additionally increased +33421】.

【Bronze and Fire King: lv7 (6244/170000)】.

【Immortal: lv3 (15312/200000)】.

After the battle with Yize, both Li Ang's profession and skill experience had increased substantially, even completing a level skip, which once again boosted his attributes.

And that was only the surface benefit; based on the abilities Yize had revealed, he vaguely seemed to catch a whiff of a new skill.

Li Ang always felt that 【Hundred Aspects Refinement】 bore some resemblance to the Heaven and Earth manifestation.

Man is the image of Heaven and Earth, accompanied by the four seasons, the five elements, and the six directions and eight quarters.

Of course, even if they weren't alike it didn't matter; with the help of 【From Hypothesis to Truth】, perhaps he'd figure it out just by pondering.

It was just hard to say what skill would ultimately come out of his tinkering.

However, now was not a good time to research these matters, because the profession panel had only popped up experience settlement information, with nothing else.

This meant that things were far from over, and might even be just a beginning.
