Chapter 175 Nidhogg's Dragon Body

Aioh stared intently at the projection in front of him, and slowly introduced it to Agreed: "His name is 'Nidhogg'. He is the most powerful dragon body I designed for myself. I originally wanted to gradually transform my body into this by devouring nature gods, but unfortunately, I was defeated before I could fully realize it."

However, according to my calculations, you could actually use my blood, the essence of the universe, and a large amount of dragon blood to create a prototype, or rather, an embryo, of 'Nidhogg.' But I need to remind you that 'Nidhogg' requires divine power to grow and evolve, so the difficulties involved are self-evident. Although you possess a soul that rivals or even surpasses that of a nature god, you lack a suitable physical body. Therefore, 'Nidhogg' is your only choice, and I'm not boasting, but in this multiverse, there is no more powerful body than this.”

Agreed asked uncertainly, "With your blood? But...won't that change the past? Stealing from the past can affect the future."

Aio reassured him, "Calm down, kid. It's just a drop of my bloodline. Its effect on me is negligible, and its influence on the past timeline is even less noticeable. If it weren't for this, I wouldn't have risked bringing it back. But this is all the help I can offer. If I help you any further, we'll definitely be discovered by 'Time' and forcibly altered or even erased. So take them with you. After you become a true god, please show me... the scenery beyond this multiverse!"

Argreed solemnly accepted the Dragon God's Treasury and his drop of blood from Aio, then swore, "I will definitely fulfill your last wish, help you see the scenery beyond the universe, and see the truth of this world."

Aio sighed as if his wish had been fulfilled, "That's good. With you in the future, perhaps things will really take a turn for the better..."

Before he finished speaking, Aio disappeared before Agreed's eyes. Agreed turned around and found that he could finally see Aio in the past. Agreed watched Aio's birth, growth, and eventual defeat, becoming invincible in all worlds. That thrilling life gave Agreed a lot of insights. In the end, Agreed reluctantly said goodbye to the Aio of the past and then withdrew from the River Styx and returned to the present.

Argreed returned to his own universe, where he first spent three months deciphering and understanding the ancient wisdom left behind in the Dragon God's Treasury. After that, Argreed began preparing for the creation of the 'Nidhogg' body.

Some time later, in a special laboratory

Lester respectfully reported to Agreed, "My lord, as you instructed, we have placed all the dragon eggs we have seized here. I have also arranged for all the ghost dragons and troops to hunt down the remaining five-colored dragons and bring their eggs and corpses here."

Argreed stood there, before him a pool of blood, a 'Dragon Breeding Pool' composed of rare and precious materials from dragons, such as dragon eggs, dragon bones, dragon scales, and dragon heads, which were magically decomposed and then mixed with dragon blood. All the nutrients in this Dragon Breeding Pool were intended to provide Nidhogg with basic nutrition and substances.

Agreed didn't look at Lester and gave the order on his own: "After you kill all the five-colored dragons on this planet, you can rest for a while. I have some other things to do recently, so don't bother me unless necessary."

"Yes." Lester bowed again and then withdrew.

In the days that followed, the Shadow Kingdom began a global manhunt for the five-colored dragons. In less than half a month, the five-colored dragons disappeared from the planet. At the same time, Agred completed his preparations. During this period, Agred created a small world the size of a basic particle. Agred knew that he would lose the battle against the gods, so he simply imitated the divine kingdom to build a small world refuge, at least... to let Heya and his subordinates escape this calamity.

Just as Agreed had finally completed the construction of the small world and was preparing to begin nurturing 'Nidhogg', a beautiful and kind woman silently appeared in Agreed's secret chamber. However, Agreed was not flustered when he saw the intruder because he had already sensed her arrival.

Argreed then served her the tea and refreshments he had prepared and said politely, "Welcome, great Mother of Dragons, Tiamat! I have been preoccupied with some trivial matters and have not been able to greet you properly. Please forgive me."

Tiamat, her eyes filled with resentment, demanded, "How dare you slaughter my creations indiscriminately? Have you decided to become my enemy?"

Agreed said nonchalantly, "I have no intention of being your enemy, but I do need the essence of your race to help me achieve an unparalleled physical body."

Tiamat's eyes gradually turned cold as she snapped, "Then there's nothing to talk about. Are you prepared to face the wrath of the Five-Colored Dragon Queen?!"

Agreed looked at Tiamat's trembling shadow and thought that the legend was true. Behind Tiamat's avatar were five primordial dragons of god-like power. Those five dragons were the five chromatic dragons that Tiamat originally created, and they were also Tiamat's strongest fighting force.

But Agreed was not afraid. Instead, he scoffed disdainfully, "I advise you to get out of here now. Even the divine avatars of the gods can't do anything to me. If you want to die, then you can try. Remember me, this is not hell, but my Shadow Duchy!!" With that, the power of the Styx silently erupted, crushing Tiamat's avatar to the ground. At the same time, the evil dragons in the shadows were also directly suppressed back into the shadow space by this terrifying power.

Tiamat's avatar raised her head and angrily rebuked, "You know..." But before she could finish speaking, Agreed swiftly beheaded the beauty with the Supreme Sword. At the same time, Agreed waved his hand and pulled five evil dragons out from other dimensions. Under Agreed's control, the power of the Styx cleanly and efficiently killed the five evil dragons.

Argreed then casually tossed their corpses into the dragon-breeding pool. After thinking for a moment, Argreed also threw in Tiamat's avatar, since it was, after all, the avatar of the Mother of Dragons and should contain Tiamat's bloodline. He figured he might as well make use of the waste.

After feeling that he was ready, Agreed carefully took out the drop of 'Nine-Faced Dragon God's Blood' that Aio had given him. Agreed dripped the Dragon God's Blood into the Dragon Breeding Pool, and all the nutrients in the pool suddenly turned into a raging sea of ​​blood, forming a vortex that swirled around the Dragon God's Blood. The sea of ​​blood was continuously compressed and solidified, and finally a dragon egg taller than a person appeared in front of Agreed.

Agreed gently caught the dragon egg and carefully nurtured it in the incubation room he had prepared. However, Agreed soon discovered that the dragon egg began to become dormant and lose its vitality, which terrified him. This egg was a gamble he had made with everything he had, and he could not afford to make a mistake. So Agreed tried various methods and finally discovered that the dragon egg's dormancy was simply due to a lack of divine power and that it had fallen into a deep sleep.
