Under the night sky, a bright full moon hung high above.
Following the direction of the voice, Qin Xiao looked up.
A figure stood there in the distance.
The moon behind him made it look as if the night sky itself was his backdrop.
"My destined enemy."
"We finally meet."
Under the moonlight, Qin Xiao could make out the other person clearly.
A handsome silver-haired young man looked down at him from above.
"The White Dragon Emperor."
"The Red Dragon Emperor."
The moment they saw each other, both immediately recognized the other's identity.
Even though Qin Xiao lacked the memories of this world, he still knew.
The absolute opposition between the Red Dragon and the White Dragon created a natural resonance.
He could feel the power of the White Dragon inside the other man—
A magical aura completely opposite to that of Ddraig.
That alone confirmed his identity.
And the same was true for the other side.
"My name is Vali Lucifer."
"The White Dragon Emperor of this generation."
"Qin Xiao."
"The Red Dragon Emperor of this generation."
They exchanged names calmly.
It was almost like a silent agreement between rivals.
Suddenly—
Whoosh.
A pair of dazzling wings appeared behind Vali.
They were ice-blue light wings, glowing with a futuristic brilliance.
A voice followed.
The voice of the dragon soul inside the Sacred Gear.
Albion.
The White Dragon.
The eternal rival of Ddraig.
"Red one… we meet again."
"…?"
"Why are you so quiet this time?"
Normally, whenever the Red Dragon and White Dragon met, they would immediately start mocking each other.
But this time—
Ddraig said nothing.
Qin Xiao suddenly remembered something.
"Oh, right."
"I forgot to remove Ddraig's restriction."
"I usually keep him sealed off."
A red gauntlet appeared on Qin Xiao's arm.
Boosted Gear.
The restriction on Ddraig was released.
As Qin Xiao had designed earlier—
Whenever he used the Sacred Gear, the seal would temporarily lift.
Ddraig's voice immediately rang out.
"So you still needed my power in the end, Qin Xiao?"
The tone carried obvious mockery.
Vali and Albion were slightly puzzled.
Did the Red Dragon and his host… have some conflict?
"I only released you so you could greet an old friend."
"Old friend…?"
"Wait."
"That magic power…"
"The white one."
Ddraig instantly recognized Albion's aura.
The two had fought countless battles across history.
Even after death, even as Sacred Gears—
They were still rivals.
Albion laughed.
"Well well, Red one."
"Looks like your luck is terrible this time."
Ddraig snorted.
"That has nothing to do with you."
"So your host locked you up like a pet?"
"You've truly disgraced the name of the Heavenly Dragons."
"Stop talking nonsense."
Meanwhile, Qin Xiao and Vali simply watched each other.
Vali's lips curved slightly.
The fact that Qin Xiao could restrain the dragon soul inside his Sacred Gear intrigued him.
Even Vali himself couldn't do that.
Qin Xiao shrugged.
"I'm a sensitive person."
"I can't accept a dragon watching my entire life like a live broadcast."
"So I put some restrictions on him."
Albion's voice turned cold.
"Restrictions?"
"Human… do you know who you're speaking to?"
"Yes."
"Two unlucky dragons whose corpses were turned into Sacred Gears."
"And whose souls were sealed inside forever."
The words were extremely blunt.
"You dare insult the Heavenly Dragons?!"
A terrifying dragon pressure burst out.
Qin Xiao felt surprised.
Albion could actually influence the outside world.
Could Ddraig do the same?
"Did I say anything wrong?"
"Red Dragon Ddraig."
"White Dragon Albion."
"You two crashed into the ancient Three Factions War because of your arrogance."
"You underestimated all three factions."
"And were eventually killed together."
"Then turned into Sacred Gears."
Albion's anger exploded instantly.
Yet strangely—
Ddraig remained silent.
"Vali."
"Kill him."
Albion's killing intent surged as he ordered his host.
But Vali calmly interrupted.
"That's enough."
"Albion."
"I don't remember you being so easily provoked."
"Vali—!"
"This is my battle."
Albion fell silent.
Just like Ddraig had earlier.
Seeing this, Qin Xiao couldn't help smiling slightly.
Vali truly lived up to his reputation.
A direct descendant of the Lucifer bloodline.
Vali looked at Qin Xiao with excitement.
"I heard about you from Azazel."
"You possess two Sacred Gears."
"Boosted Gear…"
"And a mysterious chain-type Sacred Gear."
"You can also control lightning."
"And draw power from the earth."
Qin Xiao chuckled.
"As expected of the Fallen Angel Governor."
"You figured out quite a lot from just one encounter."
Vali's eyes burned with excitement.
"You have no idea how thrilled I was when I heard about you."
"My life has two ultimate goals."
"First—"
"To reach the absolute pinnacle."
"To defeat the legendary Great Red."
"And become the True White Dragon God Emperor."
Qin Xiao raised an eyebrow.
"Defeat Great Red?"
"That's quite the ambition."
Vali continued.
"My second goal…"
"Is to completely defeat the Red Dragon Emperor of this generation."
"This era will be remembered by one name."
"Vali."
Qin Xiao smirked.
"You can't claim an era with just words."
Vali replied calmly.
"That's why I'll prove it with power."
At the same moment—
Both activated their ultimate state.
"Balance Breaker!"
"Balance Breaker!"
Crimson and silver erupted into the sky.
Qin Xiao stood there in crimson armor, red dragon wings spreading behind him.
Vali stood opposite in silver armor, radiant blue wings glowing like crystal light.
Two overwhelming auras filled the sky.
The heavens themselves seemed split—
One half red.
One half blue.
A gentle wind blew past.
A leaf slowly drifted down.
The moment it touched the ground—
Both moved simultaneously.
BOOM.
Their arms collided.
Two Heavenly Dragon Sacred Gears clashed head-on.
Then their abilities activated.
"Divide!"
"Boost!"
One power halved the opponent.
The other doubled itself.
