Zhou Ye's voice was clearly transmitted into the Imaginary Cube through some unknown link.
"receive."
For the first time, the electronically synthesized voice of the mechanical dragon Draig carried a hint of helpless laziness.
His colossal, hundred-meter-long dragon body stretched out in the pure white space, and with a gentle swipe of his metallic claws, he created a string of useless sparks on the seemingly indestructible spatial barrier.
“It’s already a bit unfair of the big to bully the small.”
Draig's electronic eye locked onto the small yet resilient figure hovering not far away, radiating pure white magic.
“Alubion, as my partner said, there are other guests watching outside.”
His voice, carried through the Rubik's Cube, reached the ears of everyone outside, neither too loudly nor too softly.
"My presence will surely prompt them to come and visit me. Therefore, we cannot waste too much time on someone as junior as you."
"Consider this battle a warm-up."
Drag's tone was full of an elder giving advice to a younger person, and also carried an undisguised contempt.
"I'm not your sparring partner when it comes to crushing noobs."
boom!
This statement was more jarring than any of the previous sarcastic remarks!
It was like a red-hot branding iron, fiercely searing into the depths of Vali Lucifer's soul!
shame!
An unprecedented sense of shame surged from the bottom of his heart, instantly overwhelming his reason!
Abusing food?
warm up?
This damn metal thing actually treated him, the strongest White Dragon Emperor of our time and a descendant of Lucifer, as an appetizer before the main course?!
Vali's body began to tremble uncontrollably.
Some dark memories from his childhood that he had forcibly forgotten and buried deep in his heart surged up uncontrollably at this moment.
That feeling of weakness, helplessness, and despair at the mercy of the powerful enveloped him once again.
Do not!
I am no longer the weak and helpless Wally I once was!
I am the strongest!
I am destined to defeat all the strong!
"Arubion..."
Vali's voice, squeezed out from between his teeth, carried a bloody stench.
"Time to use... Tyrannosaurus Rex!"
"..."
A brief silence fell over the core of the Lightwing.
A moment later, Albian's solemn and majestic will, with unprecedented determination, resounded in Vali's mind.
"Go, Vali!"
"I will minimize all side effects!"
"Tear that filthy, tin-plate bastard to shreds!"
With permission from his destined companion, Vali Lucifer's icy blue eyes ignited with a mad flame.
He abandoned all defenses, allowing Draig's energy cannons to bombard his light wings, creating dazzling energy ripples.
He opened his arms, tilted his head back, and with all his might, chanted the forbidden incantation.
"I have awakened to—"
Each word caused the space inside the imaginary cube to begin to tremble violently.
Pure white magic, mixed with Vali's life force, transformed into a visible torrent that surged wildly from his body!
"—The Second Heavenly Dragon: The Reason for Being Overthrown Takes Everything—"
Rias and Sona's faces turned deathly pale instantly!
"This incantation... could it be?!"
"Juggernaut Drive! Has he gone mad?!" Cangnasi shouted, losing all her usual composure. "Using Juggernaut Drive in this confined space, is he trying to commit suicide?!"
"—My body envies the infinite, my heart yearns for dreams—"
The incantation continued.
Vali's body was completely enveloped by an intensely white energy, forming a giant cocoon of light.
On the surface of the cocoon of light, grotesque dragon scale phantoms began to appear.
"—I shall unleash the ultimate domineering power of the White Dragon—"
That domineering and terrifying aura, which threatened to drag everything in the world into annihilation, made everyone in the square feel a chill, even through the barrier of the Imaginary Cube.
"Boss, this... seems a bit bad." Nami stopped writing in her notebook, swallowed hard, and looked nervously at the floating Rubik's Cube.
This is more interesting.
Zhou Ye crossed his arms and observed the changes inside the Rubik's Cube with great interest.
[This is starting to burn my brains. Typical rebellious teenager, unleashing their ultimate move at the drop of a hat. And that incantation, still so melodramatic.]
He even had the leisure to comment on Saeko Busujima beside him.
"Saeko, what do you think of this spell? Is it powerful enough?"
"..." Saeko Busujima tightened her grip on the hilt of her sword. She felt the destructive power surging within her, but she still answered calmly.
"It's too long, boss."
"In the time it takes to chant incantations, I could have slashed him seven or eight times."
Zhou Ye: "...That makes sense."
In those few lighthearted words, Vali Lucifer's final chant resounded throughout the heavens and earth!
"—I invite you to enter the realm of immaculate perfection!"
Om-! ! !
The moment the incantation was completed, the entire Imaginary Cube emitted a hum that seemed to groan under immense pressure!
The pure white space inside was stained with a destructive pale by an indescribable, terrifying force!
The enormous cocoon of light shattered with a deafening roar!
Roar--! ! !
A roar that was neither human nor dragon's roar, but a mixture of endless anger, jealousy and destructive will, came from the Rubik's Cube!
The light dissipated.
A monster, its size increased several times over, covered in ferocious bony dragon armor, with twelve wings of light twisted into sharp blades on its back and crimson light flashing at the core of its chest, appeared before Drage.
That is the forbidden form of the White Dragon Emperor.
Tyrant Dragon.
The roar, imbued with a destructive intent, caused the temperature in the entire square to drop several degrees.
Inside the Imaginary Cube, the ferocious white dragon-shaped monster is the forbidden power that Vali Lucifer obtained at the cost of his life.
"Tsk tsk, Tyrannosaurus Rex."
The electronic synthesized voice of the mechanical dragon Draig broke the heavy silence.
His tone revealed no trace of nervousness, but rather a playful tone, as if he were seeing a novel toy.
"Since that's the case, then I'll get serious and try to defeat you."
"Young man, experience the difference in strength right here."
Draig's massive mechanical head lowered slightly, its electronic eyes locking onto the white monster emanating an ominous aura.
"Consider this a valuable experience for your future growth!"
The moment the words fell.
Draig Transformation
A completely different mechanical sound rang out from Draig's body.
It wasn't the roar of an engine, nor the flow of energy.
Instead, it's a more sophisticated, colder electronic sound, a system self-checking and form-switching sound.
"High-threat target detected: [Juggernaut Drive]".
Threat level assessment: High.
"Response plan... Searching... Plan confirmed."
"Execute... [Dedicated Annihilation Mode for Albion]".
Click! Snap! Boom—!
Under the horrified gazes of everyone, Draig's colossal, dark red dragon body, hundreds of meters long, began to disintegrate and reconstruct!
The originally smooth dragon-shaped armor plates were flipped, folded, and shrunken piece by piece!
The massive thruster behind it split into twelve smaller vector nozzles, flashing with an even more dangerous, ghostly blue particle flame!
The grotesque dragon head retracted and merged into the torso. In its place was a humanoid female head, covered with composite sensors and imbued with a chilling, murderous aesthetic.
The claws on its arms and the structure of its legs became thicker, more stable, and full of power.
Just a few breaths.
The original mechanical dragon has disappeared.
