My attributes are increasing infinitely Chapter 422: Killing the fire dragon prince
Previously on My attributes are increasing infinitely...
Having finalized his strategy, Ethan settled himself within the time field.
The moment had come to embark on his vital mission.
He intended to form his initial Omega Clone.
Ethan recognized the enormous danger involved.
For this clone's creation, he needed to extract one emotion directly from his soul.
Uncertainty plagued him about the aftermath.
Should he end up devoid of emotions, would he remain the individual he once was?
Could he forfeit his human essence?
Fear gripped him that he might transform into a beast, yet his instincts assured him this path alone led to his ambition.
"Yumiko," Ethan addressed his AI companion.
"Should I lose my sanity due to lacking emotions, you must intervene."
"Assist my other clones in halting me."
"There's purpose in crafting seven of them."
"As long as a single one endures, my true end won't come."
"If disaster strikes, don't hesitate."
"Simply halt me."
Yumiko responded with a serene and gentle tone.
[I will follow your every command, Master! Yet I place complete faith in you.]
[I believe you won't descend into madness.]
[Devoid of emotions, you'll remain the Ethan I know.]
[Your strength surpasses your own expectations.]
A sense of relief washed over Ethan.
He offered a faint smile.
"Thanks for your faith in me," he murmured softly.
With that, he commenced the process.
He delved profoundly into his inner spirit.
Extracting the emotion from his core being was essential.
After removal, he'd employ it to construct the clone.
It resembled the work of a sculptor.
Yet clay or stone weren't his materials.
Instead, he worked with blood, flesh, and soul.
Precision was crucial in his approach.
A single error might destroy it all.
Ethan understood this labor would demand much time.
Forging flawless life from void proved arduous.
Time posed no concern for Ethan.
He possessed ample duration as required.
This marked his inaugural stride toward divine ascension.
As Ethan labored on his clone, fury raged in the outer world.
During the lavish feast, Trian Valentine observed all with hatred blazing in his gaze.
Trian hailed from the Fire Dragon lineage as a prince.
Accustomed to commanding attention, he thrived as the focal point.
Yet this evening, all eyes fixed on Ethan.
Crucially, Rose's attention lingered on Ethan.
Trian had coveted Rose for ages.
Her usual iciness spared him envy toward others.
But now, warmth and smiles graced this newcomer.
Trian's tolerance shattered.
His sanity fractured.
"You slut!" Trian bellowed, jabbing a finger at Rose.
"How dare you entice other men?"
"You are mine!"
"If you can't be mine, then no one's!"
Mad cackles erupted from him.
He spewed vile threats.
He vowed harm to Rose and her sibling.
He aimed to plunder their strength and confine them as eternal playthings.
His princely status convinced him of impunity.
"I am Trian Valentine!" he thundered.
"Nothing halts me when I desire!"
Jealousy and shame consumed him.
Ethan outshone him in allure.
Ethan's wealth eclipsed his own.
In mere hours, Ethan's renown surpassed his.
Yet the deepest wound came from Rose's evident affection for Ethan.
Trian faced his guard, the veteran Ren.
Ren embodied an Eternal Sovereign, wielding immense might.
"Uncle Ren!" Trian snapped.
"Eliminate that scum Ethan immediately!"
"Seize every woman from Rose’s kin."
"They'll attend to me this night!"
Trian's words barely concluded.
A shadow materialized abruptly before him.
No witness caught its motion.
It seemed to emerge from nowhere.
Ethan stood there.
Coldness filled Ethan's stare at Trian.
His tone stayed subdued, yet it echoed to all.
"You filthy lizard," Ethan uttered deliberately.
"Your existence has dragged on excessively."
"Now, eternal rest claims you."
Boom!
A deafening explosion rang out, and Trian vanished.
He didn't merely collapse.
His form shattered into shimmering specks.
The Fire Dragons' 13th prince, of noble blood, perished like insignificant vermin.
Silence gripped the chamber for moments.
Time itself appeared suspended.
Disbelief seized every soul present.
A prince slain amid the assembly.
Yet the deed flashed so swiftly that elite fighters missed it.
Ethan's words flowed measuredly.
His form blurred beyond light's speed.
"No... no, no!" Ren, the guardian, unleashed a quaking wail.
"Trian! My boy!"
"Awaken!"
"This defies reality!"
Ren's sorrow ignited into unbridled fury.
His human guise dissolved.
Red scales enveloped his skin.
He expanded relentlessly into a colossal scarlet dragon, towering 50 meters.
Vast wings shrouded the venue.
Flames erupted from his maw with each exhale.
"War is upon us!" the dragon bellowed.
Thunder resonated in his cry.
"Death claims you all here!"
"You'll join my son in the grave!"
Fear deterred Ren from confronting Ethan head-on.
Thus, he directed his wrath toward Rose and her kin.
"Your doing brought this!" he snarled at Rose.
"Today marks your end!"
The dragon inhaled deeply.
Airborne energies surged into him.
He prepared his ultimate assault.
The Dragon Breath.
This technique could incinerate an entire metropolis.
"Take cover!" the assembled dignitaries cried.
Terror overwhelmed them.
They grasped the ferocity of a Fire Dragon's exhalation.
Rose, her sister Zara, and ally Erina blanched.
The rising inferno signaled their doom.
Melida leaped before them.
She erected a mystical barrier for defense.
Tremors shook her grip.
Doubt gnawed if she could defy a dragon.
Yet concern proved needless.
Ethan's wrath precluded the dragon's completion.
Instantly, Ethan dissolved from sight.
He rematerialized aloft.
Directly before the beast's enormous visage.
He appeared minuscule against the titan.
Fear evaded his expression entirely.
"You lizard," Ethan declared.
Clarity pierced his calm voice amid the blaze's roar.
"You even bedded your own Empress?"
"Such a 'devoted' guardian you prove."
"The Fire Dragon Emperor would relish learning Trian wasn't his heir."
"He was yours."
The dragon's eyes bulged.
Hush fell over the hall.
A staggering revelation had unfolded.
Before Ren processed the accusation.
Boom!
The atmosphere detonated.
The immense dragon, an Eternal Sovereign entity, was utterly obliterated.
No remains lingered.
He dissolved into oblivion, mirroring his offspring.
Ethan hovered briefly in the sky.
Then he descended gracefully to the floor.
He adjusted his attire.
His gaze swept the area.
Quiet enveloped the space.
All within stared at him in utter dread.
The prince lay slain.
The dragon met demise.
Ethan remained utterly composed.
Ethan regarded Rose with a subtle nod.
The peril had passed.
