Dragon Raja 3; Chapter 127: Subspecies (12)

Dragon Raja 3

After enjoying the scraps, the giant squid elegantly waved its tentacles and swam away. The fish returned to the area, and the peaceful atmosphere was restored. A turtle, carrying a giant sea anemone on its back, paddled leisurely through the water, while a devil ray glided past, flying through the water with an eerie grace. But at this moment, to Lu Mingfei, the once beautiful and warm aquarium-like scene had completely changed its flavor. The tranquility now concealed a bloody rule; killings could occur at any moment here, with the weak amusing themselves while the strong lurked, waiting to pounce on the food.

This marine area was governed by the dragons’ bloody and violent rules, and every creature here was half dragon, including themselves.

“That embryo should be right below us in the Abyss, and it’s an incredibly powerful ancient species. During its incubation process, it continuously releases secretions rich in genetic information, attracting various marine organisms and rewriting their genes, transforming them into dragon subspecies,” Chu Zihang said. “We’ve entered the territory of that ancient dragon.”

“That’s strange,” Caesar said. “As far as we know, dragons prefer to choose incubation sites far away from humans and any other creatures. They don’t need to lure these fish in as food, nor do they easily release secretions carrying genetic information. Historically, there have only been examples of creatures that evolved after contact with ancient dragon blood. The massive number of dragon subspecies born from the embryo’s secretions is hard to understand.”

“For things that are hard to comprehend, the best approach is to see for yourself,” Chu Zihang said.

“I think they are already close to the Divine Tomb; the video footage has been sent,” Chisei said.

“I’ve seen it; it’s truly a miracle of the world,” Tachibana Masamune exclaimed. “It’s far beyond my expectations. I only learned about the Divine Tomb from ancient texts, so I don’t know what the burial site of a god should look like. Undoubtedly, something is nourishing that marine area—not the embryo, but the corpse of a god. Success is just ahead. We don’t need to preserve the remains of the god; the Oni Clan won’t allow it. No, that’s not the remains of a god; that’s the remains of a demon!”

“Old man, I’ve been thinking these days, are we trying to master the greatest violence for the sake of living a peaceful life?” Chisei asked, pausing for a few seconds before asking this seemingly unrelated question.

“Do you have doubts?” Tachibana Masamune replied.

“I can’t say I doubt it, but I’m not entirely sure. Blowing up the Divine Tomb and ending the Oni Clan will involve a lot of bloodshed. I don’t know if it’s worth it. Maybe we want to use violence to exchange for peace, but once we have the greatest violence, we become the ones who should be erased,” Chisei said softly. “Old man, are you sure you want to do this?”

“Absolutely,” Tachibana Masamune replied slowly. “I’m certain. If my decision is wrong, I’ll bear the responsibility alone. Zihang, you don’t need to think too much; even if this is a sin, it’s my sin. I know you’ve always been a kind child; I understand you just don’t want me to be alone.”

“How could the head of the Oni Clan be lonely? Many people surround you, and they take pride in being scolded by you.”

“A warrior doesn’t feel less lonely just because the hounds crowd around his warhorse. The only thing that can ease a warrior’s loneliness is another warrior.”

“Actually, I’m just a hound in front of you, a hound that wants to leave you and run far away.”
Chisei hung up the phone and put his headphones back on.
