Too lazy to act himself, Galen Yu chose to let the Ice Dragon King handle the battle.
Upon hearing the title "Ice Dragon King," the Ice Dragon in the sky was full of disdain.
"How arrogant. You dare call yourself an Ice Dragon King?"
"I'd like to see just what kind of thing dares to call itself... Lord Ice Dragon King?!"
According to their hierarchy, among Ice Dragons, only Tier 5 dragons like them were barely qualified to be called kings!
Just as it was about to teach this overconfident human a lesson, the Dragon Whistle Horn sounded.
A massive, incredibly robust Tier 5 Ice Dragon appeared, staring down the seven dragons in the sky.
Except for the Tier 5 Ice Dragon in the center, all the other dragons trembled, wanting to kneel before the Ice Dragon King to show their respect.
The dragon race had a strict hierarchy; much like the relationship between chunks, higher-level dragons had the right to command lower-level ones in almost everything.
This was practically an ironclad rule, especially among members of the same subspecies.
Even the Tier 5 Ice Dragon lost its previous arrogance; its slightly trembling body betrayed its internal nervousness.
Even among Tier 5s, there were differences in strength.
For instance, it had only recently ascended to Tier 5, but looking at the opponent's aura, it was clearly at the absolute limit—the pinnacle of Tier 5.
If they followed the rules, it should obey this dragon unconditionally!
"Came back with reinforcements just to grovel?"
"To be so haughty before and so subservient now—it truly is laughable!"
"The Fire Dragons really are clowns; they've all been intimidated by the Ice Dragon King!"
"Is this the suppression of lower dragons by a higher subspecies?"
"Not all dragons are created equal!"
Comparing the Ice Dragon's haughty attitude from moments ago with its current cowering state...
The viewers couldn't help but laugh.
While they didn't fully understand the internal rules of the dragon race, they could clearly see the difference in attitude between the two dragons and the Ice Dragon King's level of development.
With every feeding of Dragon Meal, the Ice Dragon King grew a size larger, and Galen Yu had only stopped when it could eat no more.
Though their sizes were similar, that Ice Dragon wasn't nearly as massive as the Ice Dragon King; it was obvious who was stronger!
"W-what is going on?"
The deserting Fire Dragon asked in a tone of disbelief.
How long had it been gone? In just half a day, Galen Yu's chunk had gained another Tier 5 Ice Dragon?!
Even if Galen Yu had taken the dragon egg from the previous Ice Dragon...
Growth took time; how could any dragon reach the peak of Tier 5 in just half a day?
It defied everything it knew!
"I was going to ask you the same thing! Why is there a Tier 5 dragon here?"
The Ice Dragon questioned the Fire Dragon, both shocked and furious.
It had originally intended to show respect to the Ice Dragon King, but it quickly realized something was wrong.
"It's that human's servant mount? How is that possible?"
Dragons were naturally proud; how could they submit so easily to a weak human?
"Dear kinsman, you should recognize these beautiful white wings of mine, if I'm not mistaken."
"I believe we are of the same race; we should not be slaughtering one another."
The Tier 5 Ice Dragon flew forward, attempting to negotiate in a gentle tone.
The Ice Dragon King stared at them, silent.
Kinsman or not meant nothing; it was a creature nurtured by Galen Yu, and it was Galen Yu who had brought it to its Tier 5 stage.
It only lived to fight for Galen Yu. Kinsmen? Subspecies?
'Do they taste good?'
Staring at the meat on the other's body, the Ice Dragon King fell into thought.
'It seems worth a try!'
"Don't look at me with those eyes! I'm sure you've been bewitched by something!"
Creeped out by the gaze, the Tier 5 Ice Dragon hurriedly spoke.
"Please, return to us. No matter what happened, we can talk once we're home. I'm sure the Dragon of Execution is magnanimous enough to forgive you!"
"No matter what kind of shackles that despicable human has placed on you, we will find a way to remove them!"
It racked its brain to come up with these arguments, hoping the Ice Dragon King would return so they could deal with Galen Yu together.
A blast of dragon breath erupted, frost mercilessly piercing the Ice Dragon's body.
The Ice Dragon King didn't understand what the other was babbling about.
But Galen Yu's command and the restlessness in its blood told it one thing.
It was time for a massacre!
"Roar!"
"Damn Ice Dragon, what are you doing?!"
"You are a noble dragon! You should be on our side!"
"How can you side with humans? This is a blatant betrayal!"
"Ice Dragon, just what are you doing?!"
Having reached Tier 5, its attack, health, and defense were at their peak.
Even fighting seven dragons at once, the Ice Dragon King did not lose ground.
As Galen Yu's servant, it was currently fighting within its own chunk; the buffs provided by structures like the Beacon and the Great Wall of China were very real.
Moreover, the Ice Dragon King wasn't fighting alone. The Snow Queen, Guard Villagers, and a temporarily summoned Lich were also in the fray.
Even the Wandering Mage didn't really want to act, only symbolically tossing a few healing spells at the Ice Dragon King or creating magical obstacles for the other dragons.
With Galen Yu there, he didn't see any way to lose this battle.
The only downside was that aside from the Ice Dragon King, the others dealt relatively low damage; finishing the fight would take too long.
Ultimately, Galen Yu flew into the sky and drew Yamato to end the battle.
With the Dragon-Slaying Warrior buff active, he possessed natural damage immunity and bonus damage.
He had already demonstrated this against the previous three dragons: a near-invincible defense when paired with Golden Apples, and massive damage output.
Including the deserting Fire Dragon, all seven dragons perished on the Sky Island.
"Even seven dragons can't do anything to Galen Yu anymore?"
"The buff from slaying the Ender Dragon is straight-up broken. It's too strong!"
"His gear is already top-tier, plus he has Enchanted Golden Apples and 30% damage reduction. How can they even kill him?"
"And he brought a Tier 5 Ice Dragon King. A Tier 5 dragon!"
"At this rate, I think even ten dragons would struggle next time!"
"It's terrifying!"
Returning to the ground to scavenge the dragon corpses, Galen Yu wasn't as optimistic as the bullet chat suggested.
Dragons weren't limited to just Fire and Ice; there were many other special subspecies.
Those subspecies were even more powerful, and with his current equipment, he wasn't certain he could defeat them.
To fight his way through the Chunk Civilization, he needed to become even stronger!
He had prepared bottles for dragon blood in advance; the seven dragons provided more than enough materials.
Lin Zhi had only ten minutes left.
So he looked at the young nurse who had just entered the room, a smile tugging at the corners of his mouth.
He decided to tease these people a little.
"Do you believe it? In the future, we will create a great era!"
"In that golden age, everyone will be happy and self-sufficient, regardless of poverty or wealth—it will be glorious and vast."
"You and I will both be important founders of that prosperous age. Our names will leave a heavy, indelible mark on the annals of history!"
As he said these things, Lin Zhi was incredibly sincere, his eyes filled with fervent hope.
Combined with his handsome, sunny, and cheerful face, anyone who saw him would be involuntarily drawn to him, unable to refuse any of his requests.
He was a young man full of charm!
The nurse was quite young, and being gazed at like that, she couldn't help but blush, her heart fluttering.
"Sir, please don't be like this..."
"Believe me, that golden age is only wonderful because of you and me. Do you really enjoy these days of working hard all day only to earn barely enough to live on?"
