Reincarnated as a World

Ch.198 Not Done Growing, Here Come the Lights

Suddenly, a dark red blur flashed out of the cave entrance and ascended into the air at an unfathomable speed, but they weren’t so stupid that they would be oblivious to its identity, of course they knew it was Aeshma. However, although they now feared him, they were curious about his new appearance. Would he gain new dazzling scales? Would he change colours? A longer and more flexible tail? Spikes? Serrated teeth? Sun-like eyes? Or even an elemental body like those 2 weird Phoenixes? Clearly his evolution was a pinnacle one, so what would it look like?

They were not prepared for the sight of 6 crimson eyes, an extra pair of horns, an extra pair of wings and even an extra pair of legs. No other Dragon with such abnormal features had appeared before. The spikes trailing down his back and tail were more normal, including his much bigger size and the completely different scales that were an interesting mixture of dark and light red colours that shimmered as he moved, almost like a chameleon but much more interesting, but that was where the normalities ended.

Four horns, four wings, Six legs and SIX EYES? What was the meaning of this? Had his evolution been inspired by a spider? Had-wait... had... had he somehow gotten his hands on the [Evolutionary Blood Beast Technique]?! The illustrious technique that allowed a Beast to steal the genes of another?!

...Impossible!

172 years had passed and there were many cases of Beasts using the Evolutionary Blood Beast Technique, causing it to be well known. But even if it wasn't as famous as it was, the Dragons would definitely still have known of it. After all, it was because of this very technique that those false Dragons in the east exist.

However, although the technique was definitely amazing, they quickly wrote it off as the cause of Aeshma’s new form. It was really impossible, for a multitude of reasons too. But first and most important of all was that Dragons could not use it.

Their goddess had told them that it was because they were the perfect species and didn’t need to steal other genes, which they could definitely understand, but some of them were still envious. It was truly a great technique.

But more than that, even if Aeshma DID get his hands on the technique, there was no way they could use it. All great techniques had many limitations and this one wasn’t exempt.

‘Has Aeshma not yet entered the 4th Realm?!’

It was just as he was thinking this that Aeshma let out another horror-inflicting roar. His aura which had been growing steadily began to fluctuate as its growing speed jumped by many times, his 6 completely-red-eyes that looked like they were about to leak blood glowing even brighter than before.

At the same time, a cloud so impossibly white that it could have only been formed by the heavens began to materialise in the sky above Aeshma’s body, and at the centre of this cloud was a very, very familiar circular formation.

The Tribulation Circle.

Never in their wildest dreams could they have predicted that Aeshma had not yet entered the 4th Realm, but was about to do so now, which would grant him another massive increase in strength...

Apparently, he was not finished growing.

The Tribulation cloud and circle greatly expand, revealing it to be none other than a White Tribulation, causing great waves of shock to crash through their hearts. Previously, only Gaia had received a White Tribulation from the very 1st light. Even Jörma’s White Tribulation had only started from the 2nd, not the 1st. Essentially, a sequence of Gold-White-White.

Did this mean that Aeshma and their goddess were on the same level?!
