Mythology: Ragnarok

Chapter 186 Bare fangs

Seeing that he was powerless to fight back, the chimera leader decisively let out a miserable lion's roar. Hearing the leader's cry for help, the surrounding chimeras flew over and surrounded the cave.

Agreed grabbed the chimera leader by the head and threw it out of the cave like a dead dog. Then, Agreed slowly walked out of the cave, dispelling the shrinking spell and revealing his huge dragon body. Facing the stares of the twenty-three chimeras in front of him, Agreed roared fearlessly, "Submit, or I'll beat you up and then you'll submit. The choice is yours!"

Seeing that the enemy dared to shout even when surrounded, the chimeras instantly flew into a rage and spewed terrifying dragon breath from their heads at Agred. Unfortunately, it was wishful thinking to think that such an energy attack could harm Agred's Nidhogg dragon body. The chimera's dragon breath hit Agred and was instantly reflected back to hit its other companions. In the blink of an eye, all the chimeras were knocked down by their teammates' dragon breath, while Agred stood unharmed, looking at the chimeras in front of him with disdain.

Agreed cast the spell 'Overweight' to pin all the chimeras to the ground. Then, as if losing patience, Agreed shouted, "I'll ask you one more time, will you submit or wait for me to torture you for a while longer before you submit? It's fine to resist to the end, I still have the means to enslave souls. Your thoughts aren't that important. It's just that I've been itching to fight lately, but you've really disappointed me."

The chimera leader, who had been beaten so badly, immediately pledged his loyalty, saying, "We submit, we submit, great master, please spare our clan! There are only twenty-odd brothers left in my lineage, please have mercy on us!"

Agreed chuckled and said, "It would have been better if you had done this sooner, so you could have avoided physical pain. I can let you go, but you need to sign a soul contract to be loyal to me forever. Otherwise, you can't be used by me, and there's no point in you living!"

The chimeras had no choice but to lower their proud heads and sign a soul contract with Agred, swearing eternal loyalty to him. The once arrogant chimera clan was completely subdued and brought under Agred's control in just a few minutes, a scene that made Izzy behind Agred envious.

"No wonder it's the body of Nidhogg. If only this body were mine," Izar murmured to Agreed.

Afterwards, Agred shrunk his size again and entered the cave. The three young dragons slept soundly in the chimera's cave. That night, Izar, still unwilling to give up, went to Agred's side and tried to replicate his talent again.

Unfortunately, he was just indulging in wishful thinking. At this moment, Agreed, who was pretending to be asleep, thought to himself, "Don't be in such a hurry, little guy. It will be my turn to eat you soon."

the next morning

Argrede stored all the treasures accumulated by the Chimera clan over the years into his dimensional stomach, and then, surrounded by the Chimera clan, the three young dragons swaggered away from the Flame Mountains.

Led by Agreed, they arrived at the southern frontier of this continent, a wild land inhabited by countless monsters and known by humans as the 'Southern Wilderness'. It is also a gathering place for countless alien races. The extreme climate of the Southern Frontier is unfriendly to any life, and survival and chaos are the eternal themes on this land.

However, this place is the perfect starting point for Agred, because it is precisely because of the harsh environment here that powerful monsters that meet his requirements can be born.

The moment Argrede stepped into the southern wilderness, he instantly bared his fangs and swung his tail from the air, knocking Eze and Aurellia to the ground and creating a huge crater.

Upon seeing this, the chimeras immediately understood and surrounded Ezreal and Aurellia, who had just landed on the ground. Agrede also quickly landed on the ground and looked at Ezreal and Aurellia, who had just gotten up.

Ize looked at Agreed with a bewildered expression, his mind still a bit blank, and asked, "What are you doing? Brother, the dragon race is forbidden from killing each other. This is an ironclad rule set by the dragon gods. Are you going to make an enemy of all the dragons?"

Agreed scoffed and said, "Bahamut and Tiamat are already badly injured and on the verge of death from my beatings. Even if they dared to come here, I have a thousand ways to make them crawl back. Foreign dragon, don't pretend to be a good dragon. Do you guys from another world even believe in gods?"

These words sent a chill down Ize's spine. He asked in a panic, "You...you know my background?"

Agreed laughed loudly, "You don't actually think you're the only one, do you? You're some kind of chosen one, the protagonist of some bullshit story. You guys are all like that, ignorant and daydreaming like a bunch of nouveau riche. You don't actually think that a Nidhogg's body can hatch from an ordinary dragon egg, do you? You don't actually think that someone born with god-like talent knows nothing about this world, do you? You really think that I was completely unaware when you tried to use that tiny fragment of divinity in your body to copy my abilities every night? You really think I don't know your little bit of cleverness?"

Looking at Agreed before him, Ize felt a deep sense of fear. When everything about you is seen through, even your soul and thoughts are within the other person's expectations, all you can do is feel a deep sense of lingering fear and panic. Ize took a deep breath and then surrendered, saying, "Brother Agreed, there's no need for us to fight to the death. I admit that my previous actions offended you, but we really don't need to do this. I can help you, and you should be able to see my immeasurable potential. I'm willing to sign a soul contract with you like those chimeras, as long as you spare my life."

Agreed looked at the exaggeratedly developed red dragon before him with a mocking expression, shook his head in refusal, and explained, "It seems you still don't understand the supply and demand relationship between us. First, your so-called potential is nothing more than the strange abilities given to you by the fragments of your divine essence, which have nothing to do with you. I don't need a useless person who relies solely on fortuitous encounters and has a divided heart as a subordinate. Second, Nidhogg's body needs divine power as nourishment to continue growing, and the fragments of your divine essence, which you call the 'system,' are exactly the nourishment I desperately need. Third, you are not a being at the level of a god, so the fragments of your divine essence will not grow within you at all. In fact, if you were to completely fuse the fragments of your divine essence over time, it would be very troublesome for me to absorb them. So I have no need to raise a pig to cause trouble, especially since you are a 'pig' that doesn't grow any weight! Fourth, we have now left the Flame Mountains. There are no villages or shops around here. If you die, no dragon will know about it, so it won't affect my future rule over the dragon race. Therefore, you must die today."

Seeing that the other party was leaving no way out, Yize immediately glared and roared, "So you're saying there's no room for negotiation? Do you really think I'm a pushover you can just bully!"
