Chapter 671: Chapter 499 Is Considered Professional_3
Due to their aesthetic preferences, the Dragon Tribe often returned princesses they had abducted. What would be the point of keeping them? They didn’t fit the dragons’ standards of beauty, and as food, they hardly provided enough nutrition. As intelligent creatures, they surely had to consider some issues when choosing what to eat, right?
Issues like whether the food was clean, for instance. Swallowing raw flesh is one thing, but to think about what the other party had also consumed... tsk tsk, if their peers found out, they couldn’t defend against insults of having ingested such things.
Thus, after the games of heroes battling evil dragons that the demigod dragons concocted were over, the princesses and such were generally ’rescued’. For the abducted princesses, this actually resulted in a sufficient boost to their reputation. After all, they were princesses who had survived a dragon ordeal, which made them somewhat more special than just any ordinary princess, didn’t it?
If it were other humanoid demigods, however, the story would often resemble a dark fairy tale. The princesses may not necessarily come to harm, but neither was their return ’intact’ always guaranteed.
Moreover, such events came in many varieties, and it wasn’t uncommon to encounter female ’Demon Kings’...
"So you see," Klakauska, who seemed rather sneaky, whispered to Zheng Yichen while watching the patrol team up ahead, "beings that have lived a long time always like to seek out amusement for themselves. I, too, am just lacking in strength." "But I have a bold idea when there’s nothing to do—I could start some games, like those with gunfire or mechas."
Klakauska wasn’t worried that such games would be unpopular. Games with a different style were always a gimmick, and being the first dragon to try it was very exciting indeed.
"Let’s wait until you’ve had your revenge before discussing this. Your mental state is very off right now," Zheng Yichen glanced at Klakauska. The fire dragon was being too nosey, and with Zheng Yichen’s extraordinary mental perception, he could tell that there were some problems. At this moment, the fire dragon was anxious and fretful, and its gossiping seemed more like an attempt to distract itself.
Klakauska made an excuse for himself: "Ah... it might be due to the lingering effects of a past curse."
Zheng Yichen glanced at the fire dragon. If it had been a curse, his motorcycle would have sensed it by now and siphoned away that curse power. His own equipment could ward off curses, and he hadn’t felt anything triggered.
Without carrying on with this topic, Klakauska presented a dragon scale: "Next, I just need to send a challenge. Using a dragon scale as a challenge letter can bypass a lot of trouble."
"So you’re saying that the other party won’t seriously take the bait since they have nothing better to do?"
"Actually, some dragons have already come to challenge the other party and failed. Don’t forget that this is their turf," Klakauska fidgeted with his scale, looking a bit anxious: "It’s not like we can just wait forever for an opportunity. While everyone has a chance to be alone, such an opportunity is hard to come by, and you don’t have so much time."
Demigods aren’t targets for bounty, nor easy to become bounty targets. They are not like magical beasts that have difficulty integrating into intelligent societies and roam the wilds. Unless Zheng Yichen had similar powers and walked the path of darkness enabling him to act regardless of the environment, he had to follow the ’procedure’.
"We should worry more about the other party’s traps. This demigod is a devious fellow," muttered Klakauska as he threw his hand’s scale, which turned into a fire dragon over the city.
The dragon’s form was very much that of Klakauska himself, as it ’proclaimed’ a challenge against that demigod.
"I think it’s a bit too flamboyant. Mainly because it might put the other demigods on alert, right?" Zheng Yichen watched the roaring dragon phantom. The illusion was eventually shattered by a dark green streak of light. The scale fell from the sky, landing deep within the city. Without X-ray vision, Zheng Yichen couldn’t see what was happening inside.

"Don’t worry, I’ve already chosen the next target. If a Demigod really dies here, there won’t be any shortage of those who come to join in the commotion, and there’ll be plenty who want to scavenge. It’s just that the timing might be a bit tight, and which plan we use will depend on how fast you can handle the Demigod," the fire dragon said, hesitating slightly before adding.
"That’s fine," Zheng Yichen agreed. The fire dragon was right; his biggest issue here was time. The more time passed, the likelier he would be summoned back by Dusk. This place wasn’t his home world anyway, and if nothing else, he could wait around for a long time and look for more opportunities, although there weren’t any big problems here.
But compared to staying here, Zheng Yichen valued the situation in Hazy City more. Once the unique environment there was discovered by the Boundary Breaking Faction... just thinking about it gave him a headache. Faced with such a world, what measures might a Boundary Breaker take?
If trouble really did occur, he would surely be arranged to go back—after all, wasn’t that his home world after transmigrating?
Better to not wait to be passively pulled back. It was still better to spend his days in such a place, where some things he couldn’t stop from happening, but at least he could reduce the initial pressure.
"Dealing with gods is kind of my specialty."
Special God-slaying Technique? Hm... his entire "independent" attribute was a God-slaying Technique. Tia had explained to him that when facing the Great Evil God, he would be affected by the Great Evil God’s attacks and power, but the impact would be like the damage taken from fighting between people.
If he got hit, he would still feel pain; if he was hit by some special attacks, he’d still be affected, but these would only be within the scope of injury and influence. As long as he wasn’t courting death, there wouldn’t be any chance of being directly "slain" by a divine existence exploiting high tier privileges and authority.
As long as his own "Divinity" was strong enough, he could naturally be immune to instant death and avoid being directly "erased" by certain powers. Those existences that wanted to kill Zheng Yichen would have to do so by killing him.
Correspondingly, because of his "independent divinity," when facing Divinity creatures, even if those creatures had some kind of immunity or protective measures, he could still penetrate them, as long as he had Divinity and it was strong enough.
However, Zheng Yichen’s Divinity, being independent and attributeless, had no particular direction, so the power augmentation for an individual’s strength was quite ordinary. It wasn’t like some gods who, for example, the Death type True Gods in this world, would receive a massive boost when using Death type attacks.
A typical Mage casting some sort of Death type magic might erode the enemy with death energy, but when a True God used it, aside from the original effects, there might be the additional property of instantly killing opponents with insufficient Life Force.
The advantage for him was that he wouldn’t be countered or targeted easily, but the downside, as the fire dragon had said, was that he would become desirable prey in the eyes of certain beings.
Plundering the Divinity of other gods or Demigods would involve considering the attributes of the target; if the attributes were incompatible, they wouldn’t be easy to assimilate or it might be hard to kill them. However, taking action against Zheng Yichen didn’t have such issues. The nourishing fruit would melt in the mouth, and once eaten, one would want more.
"You’d better be careful. That’s a Demigod, not someone to mess with," Klakauska warned as he looked at the fishing rod in Zheng Yichen’s hands, slightly narrowing his mouth: "Don’t capsize."
During their communication, Lilith issued an alert: a peculiar power had scanned over them. This power was very special, and Lilith was unable to disguise or interfere in time, revealing their whereabouts.
