Virus King - Chapter 390

Chapter 390: Offspring of the Black Dragon King? Tiamat’s Mockery!

TL: YYang

Facing the Abyssal Dragon before them, even Chen Bai and Satan were momentarily stunned and failed to react immediately.

What they had been discussing were mythical tales of ancient times.

Naturally, Satan had lived through that era, though he had not involved himself in the conflict between the Dragon Species and the Elven Race.

The epic divine war between Nidhogg and the Ancient Tree of Life was something he had only heard about. As for the exact results or the ultimate victor, it was mostly just hearsay.

Even the Ancient Tree of Life, the ancient deity of the Elven Race and the so-called first lifeform in the dimensional cosmos, was a mystery. Whether it had cursed the Elves before its consciousness dissipated was unclear.

However, what neither of them expected was that the sole offspring of the Black Dragon King from these myths—the legendary being—was the Abyssal Dragon standing right before them.

How could that be possible?!

For a moment, both were clearly dazed.

Tiamat, on the other hand, wasn’t surprised by their astonishment. Or rather, after revealing their true identity, Tiamat had likely anticipated such a reaction.

Chen Bai quickly calmed himself and nodded slightly.

“Exile for the dragons may have been a form of protection.”

In the vast cosmos, there was truly no place safer than the Abyss.

Even for the gods or other beings, entering the Abyss meant confronting its immense suppression, drastically reducing their strength.

Furthermore, most deities, especially the gods of the Elven Race, avoided the Abyss, which they deemed a filthy and detestable place.

Chen Bai could also infer Tiamat’s situation.

Although their father, the Black Dragon King—the Dragon of Destruction and Termination—was incredibly powerful, capable of holding his own against the Ancient Tree of Life in a one-on-one fight…

Ultimately, the consequences of war were borne by the entire Dragon Species.

As for the Elven Race, their hatred for Nidhogg needed no elaboration.

If they discovered that this accursed dragon had left behind offspring, the outcome was predictable.

Thus, to Chen Bai, the actions of the Dragon Gods were not exile, but protection.

Tiamat was clearly no fool and understood the intentions of the Dragon Gods. There was no trace of resentment in their words, only a sense of kinship with their people.

However, after spending so many years in the Abyss, it was evident that Tiamat’s sense of belonging to the Dragon Species had diminished.

Under such circumstances, Tiamat said:

“Exile is exile; it changes nothing. I’ve never met my father, but in the inherited memories, my father left me much. With exile, those gifts are no longer mine.”

Chen Bai fell silent. It was a choice. If Tiamat had stayed in the Prismatic Dragon Realm to accept their father’s legacy and gifts, they might have been far stronger than they were now—but the dangers would have been equally apparent.

Both within and beyond the Dragon Species, countless beings would have sought Tiamat’s life. Could the Dragon Gods truly protect them? No. Protection or not, it wouldn’t matter.

The legacy left by the Dragon of Termination to his offspring would tempt even the gods.

Now, however, in the Abyss, everything was resolved at once.

Still, it was undeniable that Tiamat bore the bloodline of the Black Dragon King.

Even after entering the Abyss, Tiamat had relied on their own strength to grow to their current level. Standing at the peak of demigods, they were only one step away from igniting divine flames.

Although that one step was enough to stop countless demigods…

Many beings would find themselves forever barred from taking that final step.

The power, status, and authority of a god were supreme.

“I’ve heard enough of your tales, Overlord. If you’ve sought me out, get to the point,” Tiamat said indifferently.

Clearly, their lineage and race were sore spots for them.

Chen Bai hesitated briefly but decided to be straightforward.

“I happened to acquire knowledge of the Ancient Dragon Language and have mastered a Dragon Language magic called ‘Ice Age.’ Ice Age is a precursor to a Dragon Language forbidden spell, correct? Do you know where I can learn the forbidden spell ‘Frostwing Descent’?”

Hearing this, Tiamat gave Chen Bai an odd look. After some thought, they spoke:

“Overlord, is a forbidden spell in the human world so insignificant that mastering a precursor skill means you must collect the entire set?”

Chen Bai raised an eyebrow, easily catching the sarcasm in their words.

“In the Prismatic Dragon Realm, Lord Fafnir, the Flame Bearer and one of the deities of fire revered across the heavens and worlds, is known for being the finest chef in the realm. He has traveled many worlds, sampling various cuisines. He once declared that the leg meat of the Magic Spirit Ice Frog from the world of Greenhagen was the most delicious ingredient.

“However, the Magic Spirit Ice Frog is extraordinarily rare and classified as a legendary creature. Each one is so valuable that even a small piece of its leg meat is worth millions of gold coins!

“Lord Fafnir also said that if the Magic Spirit Ice Frog were paired with the acidic purple yam sauce and pearl peppers from Greenhagen, it would create a flavor so divine that even gods would salivate.

“Overlord, have you, by chance, found some pearl peppers and acidic purple yam sauce and are now planning to borrow some Magic Spirit Ice Frog meat from others?”

Hearing the mocking tone, Chen Bai’s brow twitched. Damn it! Wasn’t this just saying he was the type to bring vinegar to borrow dumplings?

Did they have to go on such a long-winded tangent to say that?

But on reflection, maybe it wasn’t entirely wrong.

The terror of forbidden spells was beyond question.

In the God and Devil Trial Grounds of his past life, Chen Bai had never witnessed a complete forbidden spell in action!

And Dragon Language forbidden spells, created by the Dragons—a race unparalleled in both physical strength and magic—were undoubtedly even more terrifying.

Thinking about piecing together a Dragon Language forbidden spell so easily… perhaps he had been too naive.

Moreover, frost attributes and the authority of frost were elements he had never interacted with before. In hindsight, it seemed he had oversimplified things.
