Chapter 17 - Chapter 17: The Titan from the Abyss

The sky above Blackridge finally broke.

The dimensional gate shattered like glass.

Fragments of space itself floated in the air, glowing with strange energy.

Kai stared upward.

Something enormous was forcing its way through the collapsing portal.

Even the Abyss God had stepped aside.

The creature was making room.

Kai slowly rubbed his face.

"Alright…"

"Now I'm officially worried."

Lyra's voice trembled.

"Kai… that presence…"

Kai looked at her.

"What about it?"

Lyra pointed at the sky.

"That thing is older than dragons."

Kai blinked.

"That sentence should not exist."

The claw that had appeared earlier pushed further out of the portal.

It was colossal.

Each finger was the size of a skyscraper.

Dark veins pulsed across its surface like molten lava.

Then the rest of the creature emerged.

A gigantic titan.

Its body looked like living black stone.

Two massive horns curved from its head.

Chains of abyssal energy wrapped around its arms.

When it stepped through the portal—

BOOOOOOOOM.

The ground across the entire city shook violently.

Kai whistled.

"Well…"

"That's definitely the biggest one yet."

The system exploded with alerts.

[Ultimate Entity Identified]

Kai raised an eyebrow.

"Oh boy."

The next message appeared.

[Entity: Abyss Titan]

[Threat Level: World Extinction]

Kai looked at the screen.

"World extinction?"

He slowly looked back at the titan.

"Yeah… that checks out."

The Abyss Titan's glowing red eyes opened.

They scanned the battlefield slowly.

First the dragons.

Then the demon lord.

Then the Abyss God.

Finally…

They stopped on Kai.

Kai sighed.

"Of course."

The titan's voice echoed like grinding mountains.

"So the Sovereign bloodline has awakened…"

Kai pointed at himself.

"Yes, hello."

The titan tilted its head slightly.

"You are still incomplete."

Kai shrugged.

"Everybody keeps saying that."

Behind him, the First Dragon's shadow moved again.

The ancient dragon's eyes glowed brighter.

Drakar roared loudly.

The Dragon Emperor spread its wings.

Even the Sovereign Dragon prepared for battle.

The titan looked at them calmly.

"Dragons."

The word came out like thunder.

"Your era has ended."

Kai cracked his knuckles slowly.

"Funny."

"I was about to say the same thing."

The titan raised its arm.

The sky instantly darkened.

A giant sphere of abyssal energy began forming above its palm.

Lyra grabbed Kai's arm.

"Kai, if that attack lands—"

Kai nodded.

"Yeah, I know."

He looked up at the First Dragon's shadow behind him.

Golden energy began gathering around his body again.

The system flashed rapidly.

[Dragon Sovereign Awakening: 56%]

Kai smiled slightly.

"Still not enough."

The titan's attack grew larger.

The black sphere swallowed the clouds.

Even dragons began retreating from its pressure.

But Kai stepped forward.

Drakar roared beside him.

The Dragon Emperor roared as well.

The Sovereign Dragon descended from the sky.

For the first time…

All dragons gathered behind Kai.

Lyra stared at the battlefield in disbelief.

"Kai…"

Kai looked back at her briefly.

"Yeah?"

Lyra whispered.

"You're leading a dragon army."

Kai blinked.

"Oh."

"I guess I am."

The Abyss Titan noticed.

Its voice turned colder.

"So the Sovereign awakens."

Kai stretched his shoulders.

"Still warming up."

The titan lowered its arm.

The massive abyss sphere began falling toward the city.

Kai raised his hand.

Golden dragon energy exploded outward.

The First Dragon's shadow roared again.

RRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!

The sound alone split the sky.

Kai shouted.

"DRAGONS!"

Instantly—

The entire dragon army launched forward.

Drakar attacked first.

Then the Dragon Emperor.

Then dozens of dragons from the portal.

Flames.

Lightning.

Dragon roars filled the sky.

The abyss sphere collided with the dragon attacks.

BOOOOOOOOOOM.

The explosion lit the entire horizon.

For a moment—

Everything became silent.

Smoke filled the battlefield.

Then a massive figure stepped through the explosion.

The Abyss Titan.

Completely unharmed.

Kai stared.

"…Well that's unfair."

The titan raised its arm again.

"You are not ready."

Kai smirked.

"Maybe."

"But I'm stubborn."

The system flashed again.

A new message appeared.

[Hidden Protocol Unlocking]

Kai blinked.

"Oh?"

The screen displayed the name of the new ability.

[First Dragon Form – Locked]

Kai's eyes widened.

"Wait."

Before he could read more—

The titan suddenly stopped moving.

Lyra noticed it first.

"Kai…"

Kai frowned.

"What now?"

Lyra pointed behind the titan.

"Kai… look."

Because the dimensional gate had not closed.

Instead—

Another dragon silhouette was emerging.

But this one was different.

Even the First Dragon's shadow reacted.

The titan slowly turned around.

For the first time…

It looked cautious.

Kai stared at the new creature.

"…You've got to be kidding me."

Because the dragon coming through the portal had twelve wings.

And its aura was shaking the entire world.

What is the identity of the twelve-winged dragon?

Why did even the Abyss Titan become cautious?

And will Kai finally unlock the First Dragon Form?

What will happen next?
