Chapter 599 599: Surtur
Huff, huff~
Constantine gasped heavily for air. His power was very strong. Even though he was the younger brother, and even though he couldn't transform into a dragon shape, he was actually the one among the twins of Bronze and Fire who controlled "Power"!
But facing the behemoth before him, that scarlet and twisted physical body, he almost felt it hard to breathe.
It was exactly because he was very strong that he could feel the other party's terror.
That kind of physical body could probably easily tear apart a Dragon King's body.
With a physical body of that level, there was absolutely no need for any [Seven Deadly Sins]; killing a Dragon King wouldn't be a difficult task.
Not to mention, the other party also mastered an incredibly formidable energy.
Is the only way to use Candle Dragon together?!
Norton's chanting had already reached the end. Candle Dragon was ready to be unleashed. This was a world-destroying Kotodama capable of incinerating everything in an instant.
Constantine, however, felt a stinging pain in his scalp as if it were exploding. No, this feeling isn't right!
The other party is waiting for the appearance of Candle Dragon. If Candle Dragon cannot kill the other party, my brother and I will die!
That picture, so clear it could no longer be called a premonition but rather a "preview," was completely presented before Constantine's eyes.
He didn't notice that an illusory power fluctuation had already landed on his body.
Kaito Shirogane noticed it, but took a step forward, closing in on this Dragon King who clearly already knew the only path to survival yet hesitated.
"You know very well, Constantine, that it is absolutely impossible for you twins to leave alive from my hands today..."
"For the twins who divide Authority and Power, only by birthing a Dragon Monarch who truly controls everything alone can you survive~"
The huge voice shook the air. Norton's chanting seemed to be interrupted. His body had already been pierced by that Dodon Ray, suffering heavy injuries.
Moreover, he was inherently the one who controlled all the "Authority."
Norton was incomparably tyrannical, possessing a personality closest to the Black King Nidhogg. It was just a pity that at this time, he could only roar in incompetent rage.
"Candle Dragon!"
Finally, the world-destroying level Kotodama was triggered. Devastating high temperatures erupted from above Norton.
An extremely tyrannical fire element, within Kaito Shirogane's perception, instantly ignited all other fire elements in this space in a flash.
The extremely tyrannical flames instantly triggered an elemental imbalance. Like a chain reaction, an incomparably violent deflagration occurred in an instant and spread towards the surroundings.
Kaito Shirogane slightly raised his chin, the smile in his eyes finally rippling out.
Pfft!
Scorching dragon blood spurted out. Two of the [Seven Deadly Sins], forged personally by Norton, were thrust into his own body.
The [Seven Deadly Sins] Norton forged for the other seven Dragon Kings, excluding himself, contained his ambition to devour all Dragon Kings, including his younger brother.
Only a pity that at this moment, it was he who fell to these weapons a step ahead.
Constantine, with tears in his eyes, almost broke down as he killed his own older brother.
This was the only solution, this was the only way to live, and it was even more... a guidance from the unseen world!
Before Candle Dragon could fully erupt, it exploded like fireworks. That scorching high temperature crashed against the ki in front of Kaito Shirogane, dissipating like green smoke.
Constantine almost directly drilled into Norton's body. Dragon King Norton had his chest pierced straight through by Kaito Shirogane's Dodon Ray, and that huge heart also had a gaping hole torn into it.
If he could choose, Constantine would have preferred for Norton to devour him, but the other party gave him no room to choose.
He sat within his older brother's body, the two swords slowly piercing into that heart.
"I'm sorry..."
Constantine was in incomparable pain, tears and mucus streaming down his face. He had just seen scene after scene; that flesh-and-blood giant had chosen its opponent right from the very beginning.
He deliberately heavily injured Norton, precisely to let the stronger Constantine be the main body of that fusion.
Twisted power proliferated consequently. The cruelty of twins killing each other made the twisted fluctuations gathering in the sky grow increasingly intense.
Whoosh!
Flames ignited from the Dragon King's body. The flames grew larger and larger, and the dragon body soon began to disintegrate in the fire.
Within the flames, Constantine heard his older brother's final whisper. He let out a sorrowful roar, his voice no longer clear, but instead as robust as a giant dragon.
Roar~ Roar!
A terrifying flame giant stood up from the fire. Its figure almost swelled against the wind. With one step taken, its height had already exceeded thousands of meters.
On the ocean, white mist began to erupt; that was the manifestation of the ocean beginning to evaporate. The temperature of the world began to rise continuously at this moment.
Especially the British Isles. The moment the flame giant appeared, the entire island was almost completely ignited by flames.
Terrifying wails almost resounded through Kaito Shirogane's Mantra.
[Surtur], the King of Bronze and Fire forcefully merging in despair and anger, created a terrifying Flame Monarch.
Surtur continued to stride forward. The wildfires previously ignited in various parts of the continent violently combusted following the momentum, and flames began to be everywhere.
In corners unseen by anyone, large swaths of forests began to burn. The snow at the peak of the Alps began to melt, and countless animals began to run restlessly.
Humans also screamed in panic because their homes were ignited.
The sky was once again enveloped by black clouds. These weren't natural clouds, but formed by the water vapor from the evaporating ocean mixing with the thick smoke.
Surtur's height had already exceeded ten thousand meters at this time. With one foot stepping in the ocean, he leaned forward and roared downwards. Those huge eyes radiated flames from the black clouds.
"Die!"
Clear enunciation, surging anger.
Whoosh!
The ground where Kaito Shirogane stood, for dozens of kilometers in radius, was simultaneously surrounded by flames.
Kaito Shirogane felt the violent surging beneath the ground; that was magma and earth fire also being drawn out.
Violent flames soared into the sky, and these islands began to be destroyed.
Standing amidst it, Kaito Shirogane was also blown upward by a blast of flame.
But he remained completely unscathed.
Still not enough, still not enough, King of Bronze and Fire!
Kaito Shirogane scanned his gaze. He was looking for that guy who hid away, but no matter how he searched, he couldn't find the other party's traces.
Suddenly, Kaito Shirogane realized something and looked down at the flesh-and-blood giant's body.
Pairs of eyes opened on his body.
"Ignorant beast, you are too arrogant."
Laurence's voice appeared in his ears.
In the next moment, Kaito Shirogane felt as if countless pieces of flesh and blood had birthed their own wills. Broken down to a single muscle, a single bone, it seemed they all generated a self-will.
They began to detach from this incomparably formidable physical body.
Pfft pfft pfft pfft!
Flesh and blood flew everywhere. Kaito Shirogane, who hadn't suffered any attacks, exploded with a bang.
Most of those pieces of flesh and blood were burned to ashes in the flames, but a small portion began to re-aggregate.
A tall man with a height exceeding six meters was formed from the condensation of flesh and blood.
He opened his eyes, pairs of pupils rolling, reflecting everything in his eyes.
Not only that, behind him, the familiar golden ripples spread out like wings, extending over dozens of meters, as if an angel with golden wings appeared before Kaito Shirogane.
The look of compassion in Laurence's eyes deepened.
"Do you know how many people's lives and flesh you have wasted? They inherently could have ascended to the universe and climbed to the absolute peak with me..."
On Laurence's body surface, a twisted force field naturally began to form, and the flames temporarily couldn't harm him either.
The intense biological level instinctively began to oppress towards Kaito Shirogane.
But seeing this, Kaito Shirogane merely let out a sneer. He shook off the residual flesh sticking to his body and gently clenched his fist.
Bang!
The explosive sound of the air cannon remained the same.
"Are you mistaken about something, Laurence."
"The powerful one wasn't this flesh-and-blood giant, it is me..."
That twisted third force hadn't descended upon the world yet, but Kaito Shirogane felt it was already time to harvest.
In the next moment, Kaito Shirogane put his fingers together like a sword. Golden ki burst from his body, like a golden laser, directly piercing through the biological force field in front of the flesh-and-blood giant and thrusting into the flesh.
Pfft!
Amidst the scorching flesh, Laurence let out a muffled groan. Instead of retreating, he advanced, his flesh and blood pouncing toward Kaito Shirogane as if exploding.
Kaito Shirogane casually waved his hand. The air stagnated for an instant, followed by howling gales. The blazing white airflow swept the flesh and blood away.
The golden ki blast instantly pierced through the giant's glabella in the sky.
