Red dragon: in charge of natural disasters

"cooperate?"

"With a demon from the bottomless abyss? Do you really think I'm one of those red dragons with a head full of lava?"

Cassius controlled the flame incarnation and sneered.

"Whether they are gods or demons, they are just following part of the rules of the world. I don't think there is any problem with this."

Jezarslak just stared at the incarnation and said as if reciting poetry: "There is something I wanted to tell you ten years ago."

The demon raised his head slightly, the fire of revenge in his eyes getting stronger.

"Cassius, your mother was killed by a half-elf, half-human hybrid, and even you fled in embarrassment. This is a complete insult to the noble dignity of the red dragon.

"Don't you want to take revenge on them?"

The sound was like a black hole, luring other people's thoughts into a bottomless abyss.

But Cassius just spread his wings slightly and said calmly: "Don't you think I don't have this ability now?

"Revenge against mankind? Hundreds of thousands of people have surrendered to my dragon power, and millions of people in Anzeta are trembling under my wings."

"Revenge or not is only in the hands of my thoughts, not in the hands of an abyss demon trapped in the star realm who cannot protect himself."

Jezarslak shook his head with regret and sneered: "What harsh words, this will make me very sad."

"Sure enough, the trajectory of your destiny has changed. I don't know who intervened. You are probably no longer the same person."

"Tsk tsk, it's a pity that I spent all my efforts to spy on the fate of the main material world and practiced my lines hundreds of times, but in the end I couldn't put them to use."

Cassius stared closely at the thin, ferocious face and found that the other party was not caring.

"If your purpose of bringing me here is just this, then the negotiation can end here, and your illusory revenge is of no use to me."

"As for cooperating with you? I'm afraid that deformed frost giant is the final outcome of those who collaborate with the devil - turning into ashes and devoting everything to the bottomless abyss."

The demon looked at him indifferently.

"You mean Koeman?"

"That's just a cheap consumable."

His voice was disdainful, as if he were describing an ant that could be easily crushed.

"Besides, I'm not one of those despicable devils who likes to play with the terms of contracts."

"Did that frost giant really not get what he wanted? In just three years, he had gained a power comparable to that of the Balor Fire Demon, and was able to launch a head-on charge against enemies he had been unable to defeat. It’s already a great honor, and what he paid for it was just a small amount of his life.”

"For me, the only meaning of his existence is to allow you to come to the star realm."

The devil paused for a moment, his expression showing excitement.

"But you are different. My most perfect collaborator. You are the destined contractor. You can become the new king with me and the founder of the new world."

Jezarslak's tone was extremely fiery and sincere, leaving no trace of pretense. Even Cassius could not find even a single flaw in his emotions.

Cassius' pupils flickered and he was sarcastic.

"As expected of the so-called 'Revengeous Monarch', he can be so proud of treating the contractor as an abandoned son."

"Then what can I gain if I cooperate with you? Will I also become a stupid Balor Balrog?"

Jezarslak didn't care about the ridicule in the red dragon's words. Instead, he showed excitement, and a mysterious smile appeared on his face.

"Of course not, my dear collaborator."

"Do you know Ashadron?"

Cassius's expression was stagnant, but he didn't show it.

He had heard of this name from some rumors in his previous life. It was said that it was a terrifying red dragon with an unknown challenge level, known as "The Heart of Blasphemy". He lives in a mysterious area called Infant Spirit Bastion in the Sea of ​​Stars, and is even regarded as a god by many cults.

In the previous version 4.0, more than a dozen top players who had broken through the level 20 mark accepted the mission and went to the bastion together, but their group was destroyed, which became a sensational news on the forum.

But the devil's deep eyes seemed to see the red dragon's body in the main material world through the flame incarnation, and noticed the strangeness in his expression.

"It seems you've heard of him."

Jezarslak let out a deep laugh.

The heavy iron chains wrapped around the demon made a "clattering" sound. He slowly raised his thin arm, and countless chaotic fogs in the distance gathered together, forming a huge curtain in the void.

Cassius was immediately alert, ready to cut off contact with the Flame Incarnation.

But the devil saw through him again and smiled:

"Don't be nervous, this is just a small demonstration."

Cassius immediately calmed down and began to build a spiritual barrier - if he continued like this, he would only be led by this cunning demon until he fell into the bottomless abyss without realizing it.

He controlled the flame incarnation to turn his head and look at the chaotic smoke screen in the sky.

The thick fog of chaos billows, forming a strange picture.

The being upon it roughly resembles an ancient red dragon in its prime, but with some strikingly bizarre features.

The red dragon had a demonic face and a horrific scar on its chest, shaped like a large winged humanoid - a balor. His eyes were like two glowing burning flames, and tiny gleams of light continued to emit from between his claws.

"What a wonderful work of art. This is Ashadron, a red dragon with unlimited power and arrogance. When he suffered a fatal blow, the dragon summoned a Balor and bound it to his chest. As a second heart, he gained near-immortal power.”

"Haha, I also know that poor demon, Emmett the Soul Eater. He is very powerful. I once considered eating him, but I didn't expect that now he can only suffer in Ashadron's chest. Call."

The devil explained excitedly and enthusiastically.

"It's really powerful."

Cassius looked up at the terrifying demon red dragon and sighed in agreement, but he was not fooled by the powerful power.

A strange thought arose in his heart: If the "Vengeance Demon" in front of him was embedded in his chest, would the consciousness that controls this body really still be his?

Or is it like the famous "Ship of Theseus" paradox? After letting his body be infected by the abyss and his parts replaced by chaotic energy, is the new demonic creature still his original self?

Koeman has returned to the deep end.

Maybe Cassius in the original world was already dead.

He died amidst the rhetoric of the "Vengeful Lord" Jezarslak.

He thought he was avenging his mother, but in fact his mind had been twisted by the will of the abyss, and he became part of the boundless chaos, sacrificing everything for the expansion of the bottomless abyss.

Taking advantage of the moment when the devil was intoxicated with the illusion, Cassius quietly opened the panel to spy on his message, and the [Heavenly Tribulation Dragon Eye] flickered with light.

Suddenly, Cassius's pupils suddenly dilated.

There will be more at night
