Chapter 442: The Myth Reappears
"…Is it all because of me?" Xia Mi was a little confused. What Constance said made her feel extremely unfamiliar. She had forgotten so many things.

The ancient war, the invasion of Omega, the destruction of the dragon race... these factors that led to the true death of other dragon kings, as well as the reason for her own cocooning, she had forgotten them all without exception.

She didn't know why Constance hated her so much, and she didn't know what relationship Ruoton's death had to her.

Knowing that now is not the time to be at a loss, Xia Mi looked at the angry Constance and said, "I have forgotten a lot of things. Tell me, why did Ruo Dun die because of this?"

The Metal Queen looked at her silently and gave her answer with the knife in her hand: "Wait until I send you to true death, then you can go and ask your sister in person!"

The short wakizashi was instantly activated under the king's will. The slender blade, at least two meters long, was ferocious but graceful, holy but also dangerous, and had the sharpness to cut off all the scales, flesh, and bones of a dragon in an instant.

...Except for that emperor. Although weapons like the Seven Deadly Sins were forged to kill the emperor, no one has ever seen the true death of that emperor from the birth of dragons to the years of dragons' silence.

He did not participate in the alien wars in ancient times, otherwise the world would not be what it is today. He had already fallen asleep in the greater events before that, but He will eventually return before the final doomsday comes.

"The cutting knife 'Chastity', Jörmungandr, this is a knife specially prepared for you." As soon as the voice fell, the figure of the Metal Queen disappeared from where she was.

As if the air was being torn apart, the shrill sound of breaking through the air once again broke the tranquility that had finally been restored in the dark night. Exceeding the speed of sound, the silver blade light and the red figure arrived almost at the same time.

Locked in by the murderous aura, Xia Mi swung her large wings. The deadly blade light tore through the afterimage she left behind, and she dodged the fatal blow that could have almost cut her body in half.

However, this knife was indeed specially made for killing the king. The silver tip of the knife was stained with blood flowing with golden meaning. The blood was quickly absorbed by the blade, and Xia Mi even heard a sigh of satisfaction. The knife was actually coveting the blood of a king!
Since her resurrection, Xia Mi has never felt as angry as she is now. Even when Omega invaded her Nibelungen and Izanami plotted against her and her siblings, she never wanted to tear something apart as much as she does now.

"Even a clay Buddha can get angry. Do you really think that since my title means 'Earth', I should be as calm and steady as the Earth?" There was a dangerous light flashing in her golden eyes, and her scratched wrist was dripping with blood.

For the Dragon King, this injury was nothing. But the weird thing was that the wound showed no signs of recovery, which was unacceptable for the Dragon King, but for a sword that was made for killing kings, it was perfectly normal.

The Metal Queen did not press on to win: "Then show your majesty as the queen of the earth and the mountains, and attack!"

Even if she holds the King-killing Knife, it does not mean that she can kill a Dragon King at will. As former comrades-in-arms, no one knows better than them how powerful these sisters who were born from a unified existence actually are.

Xia Mi sneered: "Then Constanze, my sister, I will do as you wish."

The quiet night suddenly became lively, and countless animals and insects that were hibernating or dormant in the winter night woke up from their sleep and began to flee in panic. They didn't know that they were involved in the struggle between the two kings, they only knew that they had to leave here quickly, otherwise terrible things would happen.

As if it was the last mercy of the earth, the noise came and went quickly, and the night fell into deathly silence again. The wings behind the Queen of the Earth flapped, and she stood on the slowly flowing river.

There was a bright flash of lightning in front of her, it was the king's domain unfolding. Everything in the domain belonged to the king, and all creatures had no choice but to submit. It was precisely because they felt this that the creatures living in the forest were so panicked.

"You have changed, Jörmungandr." The Metal Queen said softly, "In the past, you were a king who killed people decisively, but you were not so merciful."

Xia Mi looked at her, with a faint light in her eyes: "You will soon see that I am no longer kind."

A shadow darker than the night stood on the earth, like a high mountain, towering into the clouds and seeming to reach the sky. However, this is the Yangtze River Delta, where did the peaks thousands of meters high come from?

The "mountain" suddenly opened its eyes, and the people in the neighboring city who had not yet gone to sleep were surprised to find that two moons suddenly appeared in the sky. The moonlight was hazy, emitting a faint golden light, which would be enough to make people stop and look up to appreciate it quietly under normal circumstances.

...However, the dense dark clouds mean that there will be no moon tonight, let alone two moons!

The Queen of Metal looked up and found that Jörmungandr had disappeared at some point, but she was not in a hurry to look for him because the King of Earth and Mountains had been here the whole time.

"The giant snakes surrounding the courtyard..." She said slowly, "But using something so fragile to replace your dragon body is nothing more than bluffing. As expected, Jörmungandr, you have become weaker."

The three wings on the side flapped, and the metal queen soared into the sky like a meteor. The bright flames once again tore through the darkness, illuminating the towering giant snake that seemed to be able to encircle the world.

Lightning was all around, as if roaring. Behind the thick dark clouds, the quiet sky flickered in brightness, as if the dragon holding a candle outside the sea was blinking its eyes.

The sky above the clouds was as bright as day, and the fiery red sun was coming from the sea. When I got closer, I realized that it was not the sun, but a fire dragon that was as hot as the sun.

The giant python and the blazing dragon, all of this happened thousands of meters in the sky. If it weren't for the heavy rain clouds, this mythical scene would have made many people exclaim in amazement.

But even so, people under the clouds saw a sun and two moons standing side by side.

I don't know who blew the horn, but a thunderous roar erupted from behind the clouds. The rain was getting heavier, and the roar from behind the clouds was like thunder, or like a reminder from the gods in heaven to the people on earth on the eve of the end of the world.

Then at a certain moment, the rain clouds were torn apart, the sun and the moon disappeared, and there was nothing in the quiet night sky. Only the fresh smell of the soil after the rain and the chill of the winter night reminded the people on the earth that it was time to rest.

Xia Mi was lying on the broken python, and her situation was not as good as the Earth Python behind her. She had been hatched too early, and while she had lost a lot of her memories, she also had a lot of strength that had not yet recovered.

She didn't know Constance's situation, but judging from how she easily used the ultimate word spirit of bronze and fire, Zhulong, she was much better than herself. Moreover, she also had the Seven Virtues, a sword that was born to kill the king just like the Seven Deadly Sins.

The golden-red light shone on the earth, and the Queen of Metal descended from the sky, announcing her victory: "I didn't expect you to be so fragile that you break at the slightest touch."

Xia Mi looked at her and suddenly laughed: "The world will change, and dragons will change too. Isn't Constance, who used to only be protected by her sister, now a fierce Valkyrie who can kill her sisters?"

"Where is your Ultimate Word Spirit? Where is your Shiva Karma Dance? Let me see what the realm that is said to bring equal death looks like." The Queen of Metal said calmly.

Even though she had an absolute advantage, the war between kings should not end so quickly. "You know I'm so fragile, how can I still use it?" Xia Mi said weakly, "You win, hurry up and use that knife to cut off my head, so as to comfort your sister's soul wandering in the world of death."

She smiled and said, "Don't blame me for not reminding you. If it's too late, there will be no chance."

The Metal Queen was silent and hesitated to take any action, as if she was hesitating.

After a long while, she finally said hoarsely, "...You and I both know that true death means that the soul dies as well. My sister said that it is easy to kill a dragon, but it is not easy to erase its soul."

"Then what are you still hesitating about!" Xia Mi suddenly shouted, "You are the one who said that it was me who killed your sister, and now you are the one who dares not even kill a soul."

She had never been so angry before: "I asked you to talk nicely but you didn't. You just shouted for killing and beating. I really asked you to do something but you didn't do it. What on earth do you want to do?"

The Queen of Metal looked at her silently. For a moment, Xia Mi saw a hint of timidity on her emotionless face, like a younger sister being scolded by her older sister.

The Queen of the Earth was both angry and amused. After all this time, it turned out that this guy was the one who was bluffing. Compared to the ancient times, she was only a little stronger and her figure became a little weirder, but she had not made any progress at all!

Suddenly, she felt like crying again. She was the one who had made the least progress, being defeated by this guy who was protected by her sister like a princess in ancient times.

The metal queen landed on the ground, her long-heeled combat boots stepping on the steaming soil. She came in front of Xia Mi and looked down at her.

"I have decided not to kill your soul." She said softly, "You just said that even my sister and I's flames are not enough to burn you."

A terrifying temperature emanated from her body, and the metal elements dormant under the earth awakened, all submitting to the King of Bronze and Fire who had been resurrected in the world.

It was much smaller than the sun just now, but hotter and more dangerous, as if a real flame that could burn the earth was gathering around her.

The fire dragon sprayed flames that burned everything. The Metal Queen's voice was hot yet cold: "Then let me try to see if you can withstand this fire."

Her eyes were both cold and fiery. "If you die, I will find the cocoon you left behind, wait for you to hatch, and then repeat. Until you can bear it, or, can't bear it and voluntarily give up your soul."

Xia Mi looked at her silently, then lowered her eyes, as if she had given up resisting, although she had never intended to resist from the beginning.

She sighed and said, "As former comrades-in-arms and sisters from the same origin, can you promise me one thing?"

"What is it?" The Queen of Metal showed her mercy.

Xia Mi looked at her and asked in a low voice: "Tell me, what happened in the ancient times? Where did all the kings go?"

"Have you really forgotten everything?" The Metal Queen tilted her head and looked at her.

Xia Mi raised her head and nodded.

"Okay." The Metal Queen said softly, "Bear my flames and I'll tell you."

"...I take it back. You've changed a lot." Xia Mi sighed softly, then suddenly smiled, "Unfortunately, you don't have a chance."

She raised her head and smiled brightly: "I asked you to cut off my head just now. It was really your last chance. But you didn't cherish it."

The Metal Queen ignored her, thinking that this was just the stubbornness of the sinful dragon that caused the current situation. She stretched out her hand to signal the fire dragon to burn her.

…and then, nothing happened.

The fire dragon she summoned was slow to respond. The Metal Queen was suddenly startled. She had lost control of the fire dragon. But she was the King of Bronze and Fire. How could there be any fire in the world that dared to disobey her orders?

But such a ridiculous thing did happen, her flame betrayed her.

The seven virtues reappeared beside her, and she grabbed Humility, the first of the seven virtues, and pulled it out. Like Pride among the seven deadly sins, Humility was the strongest sword among the seven virtues. There were eight kings and seven swords, and she once thought that one of them would eventually swing at her.

So when I curiously asked my sister why I was the one who represented arrogance, my sister stroked my hair as usual and said with a smile, "You are going to climb to the throne of the world with me. If you die, who will share the scenery with me?"

Pride is the first of all original sins, the original sin that leads all living things in the world to fall. The only one who can rival it is the most powerful and noble dragon. When she said this, her sister looked a little dazed, as if she was worried.

Yes, whether Pride can kill Him or not is a question. Maybe one day, this sword will kill Pride who wants to kill the strongest dragon... said my sister.

At that time, the Metal Queen secretly swore in her heart that these swords must not kill her sister. If they really wanted to do that, they would first be stained with her blood.

The sword in his hand was unusually heavy, and the humility that would automatically activate upon contact with it was silent as if it had died. The beating heart of the metal queen...if she still had it, it also fell silent.

After her flame betrayed her, her sword also betrayed her.

After the dark clouds dispersed, the moon, which had not appeared in the sky for a long time, poked its head out. The holy moonlight sprinkled down, as if paving the way for someone; the fire dragon roared, spraying the firelight, as if setting off fireworks; the broken giant python lowered its head to show the dignity of the person who was about to come.

It was not until she saw that man that the Metal Queen was amazed at what an evolution this was!
