The sky above Blackridge had completely shattered.
Hundreds of rifts burned across the clouds like wounds in reality itself.
Dragon fire clashed with abyss energy.
Roars echoed across the battlefield.
But suddenly…
Everything stopped.
Because the largest rift in the sky had begun to open wider.
CRAAAAAAACK.
The sound was so deep it felt like the world itself was breaking apart.
Kai Draven looked up slowly.
"…I really hate that sound."
Beside him, Lyra was staring at the sky with wide eyes.
"Kai… that rift…"
Kai rubbed his forehead.
"Yeah, yeah."
"Another disaster."
But this time even he could feel it.
The pressure in the air had changed.
It felt heavier.
Older.
More terrifying than anything that had appeared before.
Above them, the Dragon Queen had stopped fighting.
Golden flames drifted around her wings.
But her eyes were fixed on the giant rift.
The Celestial Dragon hovered beside her.
Even the ancient creature looked tense.
The Abyss King stepped backward slightly.
Dark lightning crackled around its body.
Kai noticed that immediately.
"…Okay."
"When the Abyss King is scared, that's not a good sign."
Behind him, Noxar slowly spread its black wings.
The ancient dragon's crimson eyes glowed brighter.
"It has arrived."
Kai frowned.
"You keep saying things like that."
"What exactly is coming?"
Noxar answered quietly.
"The end of Sovereigns."
Kai blinked.
"…That's dramatic."
But then—
The rift exploded.
BOOOOOOOOOOM.
A massive wave of energy blasted across the sky.
Dragons were thrown backward.
Abyss monsters were ripped apart instantly.
Even the Dragon Queen had to spread her wings to stabilize herself.
Kai felt the shockwave slam into his body.
He slid several meters across the broken street.
"Okay."
"That one hurt."
Slowly…
A gigantic figure began stepping through the rift.
First came a hand.
But it wasn't a dragon claw.
It wasn't a demon claw either.
It looked almost human.
Except the hand was larger than an entire building.
Dark armor covered it like living stone.
Crimson runes glowed across its surface.
Lyra whispered in horror.
"That armor…"
Kai glanced at her.
"What?"
Lyra swallowed.
"That is divine war armor."
Kai frowned.
"Divine?"
The creature forced its entire body through the rift.
The sky trembled again.
BOOOOOOM.
The being landed on the battlefield.
The ground collapsed beneath its feet.
Dust and rubble exploded across the city.
When the smoke cleared…
Kai finally saw it.
The creature looked almost human.
But its body was gigantic.
Nearly as large as the Celestial Dragon.
Its armor was black and crimson.
Massive wings of pure energy stretched behind its back.
And above its head floated a burning crown.
The system suddenly exploded with alerts.
[Supreme Entity Identified]
Kai blinked.
"Oh?"
Another message appeared.
[Entity: God of Ruin]
Kai stared at the screen.
"…That name sounds unhealthy."
The next alert appeared.
[Historical Data Found]
Kai raised an eyebrow.
"Now that's interesting."
The system continued.
[Entity responsible for killing previous Dragon Sovereign]
Kai slowly looked up at the giant god.
"…Oh."
"So you're the one."
The God of Ruin turned its glowing crimson eyes toward Kai.
For a moment the entire battlefield fell silent.
Then the god spoke.
Its voice echoed across the world like thunder.
"So the bloodline awakens again."
Kai crossed his arms.
"Yeah."
"That seems to keep happening."
The god looked at him carefully.
Almost like a scientist studying an experiment.
"You are weaker than the last one."
Kai shrugged.
"I'm still leveling."
Behind him, the shadow of the First Dragon expanded again.
Golden flames erupted around his body.
The system flashed.
[Dragon Sovereign Awakening: 90%]
Kai smiled slightly.
"Almost there."
The God of Ruin suddenly raised its hand.
Dark energy gathered around its palm.
The sky dimmed instantly.
The Dragon Queen roared.
Golden flames exploded from her wings.
"You will not touch the Sovereign!"
She launched forward like a meteor.
The Celestial Dragon followed beside her.
Two ancient dragons attacked together.
BOOOOOOOOM.
The clash shook the sky.
Golden fire and divine energy exploded across the battlefield.
But when the light faded…
The God of Ruin was still standing.
Completely unharmed.
Kai whistled softly.
"…That's not encouraging."
The god looked slightly annoyed.
"Dragons."
It flicked its hand.
A wave of crimson energy blasted outward.
The Dragon Queen was thrown backward.
The Celestial Dragon crashed into a ruined skyscraper.
The battlefield froze again.
Even the Abyss King looked shocked.
Kai stared at the god.
"…Okay."
"That's definitely a boss fight."
The God of Ruin looked down at him again.
"I killed the last Sovereign."
Its voice became colder.
"And I will kill you as well."
Kai cracked his knuckles.
Golden flames erupted around his body.
His aura expanded violently.
"Well…"
"Let's see about that."
The system suddenly exploded with light.
[Dragon Sovereign Awakening: 95%]
Kai blinked.
"Oh?"
The next message appeared.
[Final Awakening Imminent]
Kai grinned.
"Perfect timing."
But before he could move—
The God of Ruin suddenly frowned.
It looked toward the sky.
Another rift had opened.
But this one…
Glowed with blinding white light.
Even Noxar looked surprised.
"That energy…"
Lyra whispered beside Kai.
"Kai…"
Kai sighed.
"…Please don't tell me that's another god."
Lyra shook her head slowly.
"No."
Kai looked at her.
"Then what is it?"
Lyra answered quietly.
"That… is the original Dragon Sovereign."
The entire sky trembled.
Because the true ruler of dragons was about to return.
What happened to the original Dragon Sovereign?
Why has it returned now?
And will Kai survive the final awakening of his bloodline?
What will happen next?
