"Your speech is indeed blood-boiling, but the roar of the weak is as laughable as a clown's antics before the truly strong."
"Since you insist on your own way, then I shall satisfy you."
The Laws of Blood within Vivian surged frantically, and the sea of blood boiled, transforming into ten ten-thousand-foot blood scythes, while the sky full of bats also turned into countless copies of Vivian.
"The power of a Demigod can destroy heaven and earth; it is not something a mere Legendary like you can hope to contend with."
"Is that so? A Demigod... it's not like I haven't fought one before! I know exactly how much they're worth."
"Arrogant fool, let's see just how long you can keep up that tough talk."
"Extinguish!"
Vivian held a blood scythe and pointed downward; the ten-thousand-foot scythes and the incarnations of blood charged together toward Jona Velli.
Their speed was such that they could severely wound Jona Velli in an instant.
"Wheel of the Future!"
A massive Clock Face of Time rapidly unfolded beneath the dragon's feet, with phantom images of her future and past selves from various ages standing upon it.
But... she seemed to be too late to borrow the power of her future self for herself.
"small fry, do not dare to overstep!"
At this critical moment, the phantom of the future self representing the 'Ancient Dragon' stage suddenly let out a thunderous shout. Under the shocked gazes of Jona Velli and Vivian, a blue-white Magic Array shimmering with golden threads suddenly appeared before that phantom.
"Nirvana Ice Devour!"
Terrifying ice element magic erupted, containing a horrifying power of the stars within it.
In just an instant, this Sanctuary was transformed into a realm of ice, and everything was frozen solid.
Snap!
The phantom snapped its fingers, and everything shattered into pieces.
Except for the True Ancestor of Blood, who remained frozen in mid-air.
This... what's going on? Do I still need to fight? Just as Jona Velli was caught in a dilemma and about to disperse her magic, the massive phantom spoke.
"Wait, my past self."
Jona Velli looked up at her, her glowing golden vertical pupils filled with seriousness.
"What is it?"
"Although talking to oneself feels strange, I must remind you here."
"In the future, you only need to do the following six things well."
"First, do not kill Vivian; spare her life. The future Ragnarök will need to borrow her power."
"Second, rule over the Metal Dragons as much as possible; do not act on impulse and execute them."
"Third, befriend the Angels as much as possible, and the fallen angel Lucifer is no exception."
"Fifth, develop as much viable combat strength as possible and prepare to resist that unmerited disaster; God, that King of Angels, is nearly unable to hold on."
"Sixth, think twice before acting; you must protect Friel. The corruption of the Abyss is difficult to reverse; even turning back time can hardly change it."
"The above is my advice; you must, you absolutely must do your best to complete them."
"Wait, what's this about Friel that you mentioned?"
The phantom of the future self glanced at her.
"The current you is too weak; telling you would serve no purpose."
"Weakness is the original sin. Even if I told you everything in detail, it would only increase your worries and might even affect your cultivation."
"Alright, further talk is useless. Be constantly vigilant of the Abyss and protect Friel."
Hearing this, Jona Velli's gaze darkened.
The Abyss—she didn't know much about it. To understand it, she would have to wait until her next slumber to break through to her Prime Age, become a Legend, fully unseal the bloodline suppressed by her father, and perfectly accept the Dragon Bloodline Inheritance of the Starry Dragon Clan.
That way, she would be able to know more secrets.
While Jona Velli was thinking, that even more mysterious phantom of her future Ancient Dragon self murmured in a low voice.
"It is all in vain. Any existence corrupted by the Abyss can almost never be changed. In the end, it is but a phantom, a dream, all for naught."
As for the final phantom, it watched their conversation and remained silent.
'A bunch of little fools.'
"Alright, thank you for the reminder. I will be careful."
"Goodbye."
"Goodbye."
With that, Jona Velli deactivated the Wheel of the Future, and those future phantoms dissipated along with the clock face.
Jona Velli looked up into the sky, exactly where the frozen Vivian was.
"Tch, I was originally planning to finish you off. Now it seems you've gotten lucky."
With a beat of her dragon wings, Jona Velli flew in front of Vivian.
With a thought, a drop of essence blood emerged.
Looking at this drop of essence blood, Jona Velli still chose to drive it into her body.
After all, no matter what, Vivian's strength was an entire major realm higher than Jona Velli's. For matters involving the level of Laws, it was better to have absolute control.
Once Vivian was converted into one of her Dragon Vein Followers, she would be absolutely unable to disobey her. This was the extraordinary nature of True Dragon Blood.
Feeling her dragon blood invade Vivian's body, Jona Velli nodded with satisfaction.
"Hmm, it will only take half a day."
...Outside, seeing Jona Velli pulled into the Sanctuary, Friel was pacing around in a panic.
"What should we do? She has absolutely no chance of winning now."
"Dammit! You cursed vampires!"
"This bunch of scum, how dare they? How dare they?!"
Seeing this, Gris hurried to Friel's side to comfort her.
"It's okay, Second Sister. Older Sister is so strong, you don't need to worry. Calm down a bit."
Sasha also flew in front of Friel at this time and echoed.
"That's right, we have to believe in Sister. Her strength is obvious to us all."
Friel, who was already extremely irritable, found their comfort to be quite grating.
"Fuck off! How can you expect me to be at ease?"
She grabbed Gris's collar with one hand and turned to glare at Sasha.
"Dammit, do you think this is a novel? An adventure story told by a bard?"
"That is a Demigod! A high-rank Demigod!"
"She already had no advantage in terms of realm, and now she's been pulled into the other's Sanctuary."
"Jona Velli is strong, and her power is very strange, but... but she isn't a god!"
"She cannot contend with it, she cannot match that force!"
Suddenly, Friel pushed Gris away and turned to glare at Valena standing at the hospital entrance and the gathered vampires.
"Since Jona Velli's life is in danger, then there's no need for you to live either!"
As she spoke, fiery red dragon wings grew from Friel's back.
Seeing this, Valena was not to be outdone and condensed a blood-red cruciform sword in her hand.
"Tch, you lunatic, who do you think you're looking down on! Do you really think I'm afraid of you?!"
Just as the two sides were about to clash, a powerful spatial fluctuation suddenly emanated.
Friel's heart tightened. As someone who had comprehended the Laws of Space, she knew very well that this was a manifestation of a domain dispersing.
With a nervous heart, Friel hurriedly turned her head, only to meet Jona Velli's intriguing expression.
"You..."
"Friel, you look like this... were you worried?"
