The sky above Blackridge turned blood red.
The dimensional gate cracked wider, as if reality itself could no longer contain what was coming through.
A deep rumble spread across the city.
Not thunder.
Not an earthquake.
Something far older.
Something alive.
Kai Draven stared at the sky, his chest rising and falling heavily.
Behind him, the Dragon King stood motionless like a living mountain. Even the terrifying Dragon King seemed smaller compared to the shadow forming inside the gate.
Lyra's voice trembled.
"That… is the Sovereign Dragon."
Kai swallowed slowly.
"And I thought the last one was big."
The creature inside the gate shifted.
A colossal silhouette pushed forward.
Scales darker than night.
Eyes glowing like ancient suns.
And when it finally moved its massive wings…
The entire sky seemed to bend.
BOOOOOOM.
A shockwave of dragon energy exploded across the city.
Every hunter in Blackridge collapsed instantly.
Even the Dragon Hunters who had retreated earlier fell to their knees miles away.
Kai felt the pressure slam into him like a truck.
His vision blurred.
The Dragon Sovereign System began flashing violently.
[Extreme Dragon Presence Detected]
[Warning: Sovereign-Class Entity]
Kai gritted his teeth.
"Yeah… I can feel that!"
The Dragon King lowered its head respectfully.
Even it was bowing.
Kai blinked.
"Wait… the Dragon King is bowing?"
Lyra nodded slowly.
"That's the ruler of all dragons."
"The original bloodline."
Kai looked back up.
The Sovereign Dragon slowly emerged from the dimensional gate.
Each movement felt like time itself was slowing.
When its massive body fully appeared, the storm clouds scattered instantly.
Golden lightning crackled across the sky.
The creature's gaze swept across the ruined city.
Then it stopped.
Right on Kai.
The system screen flickered again.
[Dragon Sovereign Bloodline Resonating]
[Awakening Progress: 18%]
Kai clenched his fists.
"Why does that thing keep looking at me?"
Lyra didn't answer immediately.
Her eyes were wide with shock.
"Because it recognizes you."
Kai blinked.
"Recognizes me?"
Lyra pointed slowly at his chest.
"The bloodline inside you."
Before Kai could respond—
The Sovereign Dragon moved.
Its massive wing shifted slightly.
And the Dragon King stepped aside instantly.
Kai's heart pounded.
The Sovereign Dragon lowered its head toward him.
The ground beneath Kai cracked.
Cars flipped.
Street lights exploded.
But the dragon stopped just meters away.
The air turned silent.
Then a voice echoed inside Kai's mind.
Ancient.
Heavy.
Powerful.
"A lost heir…"
Kai froze.
"Excuse me?"
The voice continued.
"The blood of the Sovereign still lives."
Kai looked at Lyra.
"You hearing this?"
Lyra shook her head slowly.
"No."
Kai groaned.
"Great. So I'm talking to dragons now."
The Sovereign Dragon's eyes narrowed slightly.
"You carry the forbidden bloodline."
Kai raised his hands.
"Look, I didn't exactly sign up for that."
The dragon ignored him.
Instead, the Dragon Sovereign System suddenly exploded with light.
A new interface appeared.
[Hidden Bloodline Detected]
[Dragon Sovereign Protocol Activated]
Kai's eyes widened.
"Oh no…"
The system continued.
[Primary Awakening Beginning]
Golden energy burst from Kai's body.
Flames of dragon energy spiraled around him.
The ground cracked beneath his feet.
Lyra stepped back in shock.
"Kai!"
Kai himself looked down at his glowing hands.
"What the hell is happening?!"
The system displayed new information.
[New Ability Unlocked]
[Dragon Sovereign Aura]
[Authority over lesser dragons increased]
Kai blinked.
"Authority?"
The Sovereign Dragon suddenly lifted its head.
For the first time…
It looked surprised.
The Dragon King behind it growled softly.
Even it seemed confused.
Kai felt a surge of power spreading through his veins.
His vision sharpened.
His senses exploded outward.
Every dragon energy signature in the city became visible to him.
The system updated again.
[Awakening Progress: 25%]
Kai laughed weakly.
"I feel like a walking battery."
But the Sovereign Dragon suddenly spoke again.
"Prove your worth."
Kai frowned.
"Here we go again…"
The dragon slowly raised one claw.
Golden flames gathered around it.
The sky darkened instantly.
Even the Dragon King stepped farther away.
Lyra shouted.
"Kai, move!"
But Kai didn't move.
Because the system flashed a new message.
[Trial of the Sovereign]
[Objective: Survive the Dragon's Judgment]
Kai sighed.
"Of course it's a trial."
The Sovereign Dragon brought its claw down.
The attack was massive.
A mountain of golden energy crashing toward Kai.
But something inside Kai reacted.
The Dragon Sovereign Aura erupted.
Golden light exploded around him.
BOOOOOOM.
The two energies collided.
A shockwave tore across the entire district.
For a moment…
Everything froze.
Even the Sovereign Dragon paused.
Kai stood in the middle of the street, breathing heavily.
His entire body glowing with dragon energy.
Lyra stared in disbelief.
"That… shouldn't be possible."
Even the Dragon King looked stunned.
Kai wiped blood from his lip.
"Well…"
"I guess I passed the first test."
But the Sovereign Dragon's eyes suddenly burned brighter.
Because inside the dimensional gate behind it…
More shadows began moving.
Three.
Five.
Ten.
Dragon silhouettes.
Lyra's face turned pale.
"Kai…"
Kai slowly turned his head.
"Yeah?"
Lyra whispered.
"That wasn't a gate."
Kai frowned.
"What do you mean?"
Lyra answered quietly.
"That…"
"…is a dragon world opening."
Kai's heart skipped.
Because dozens of glowing dragon eyes were now visible inside the gate.
Watching him.
Waiting.
What will Kai do when an entire dragon world begins invading Earth?
Why does the Sovereign Dragon recognize his bloodline?
And what terrifying power will the Dragon Sovereign System awaken next?
What will happen next?
