The Dragon Monarch exploded in fury at Grey's blatant disrespect toward the Dragon Clan, unleashing murderous intent. The Grand Arbiter tried to intervene but was sealed in a spatial lock by Dragon elders and Errol, while Alissa and her allies were blocked and threatened. Grey summoned the AI Eterna, who deployed a colossal mecha resembling the legendary Origin Mecha, only for the Dragon Monarch to shatter it as a mere prototype. Eterna then hinted at the underestimated Beast of Finality's true potential.

The Emperors along with the noble family heads had reached their limit. They started voicing out, tones filled with alarm and rebuke.

"Enough of this, Arclight family! Even if your son has astonishingly turned into a Saint, it doesn't give him the right to act recklessly. This isn't some remote Milky Way Galaxy!"

"Exactly. Offer your apology to the Dragon Monarch right away. If you bow your head, he might let you live due to your Saint status, kid," another Emperor urged in desperation.

"A little talent and the Arclights suddenly believe they've sprouted wings. Bow down and apologize to the Dragon Monarch! Are you intending to drag the whole Human Alliance down with your idiotic arrogance?"

All eyes within the stadium fixed on Grey and the Arclight family, brimming with strong disapproval and terror.

Far above in the skies, the Dragon Monarch, flanked by his top elders, gazed down at the worthless squabble with a icy smirk hiding his raging anger. He, the ultimate lord of dragons, faced open disrespect from a kid under eighteen. Simply because the youth had somehow subdued a 7th Rank beast, he dared to act all-powerful.

"This nonsense stops now. If everyone in this stadium perishes today, blame this insolent punk alone," the Dragon Monarch proclaimed, his words chilling the air itself.

As those words resounded, a nauseating fear gripped every viewer's gut. It was the raw gut feeling of death approaching!

That horrifying foresight proved accurate. Moments later, the luminous starry sky ripped apart. Endless spatial rifts emerged in the emptiness. Through those gaps, enormous, primordial dragons surged forth.

One hundred. One thousand. Ten thousand!

An enormous fleet of dragons eclipsed the stars, most exuding the overwhelming might of 5th and 6th Ranks.

The Grand Arbiter, Emperors, Duke heads, sect leaders, and billions of onlookers turned ashen instantly.

"How can this be? Dragon Monarch, please halt! Why call forth the mighty dragon legion?!"

"It's finished," Anderson murmured, staring skyward with a face twisted in horror. "The dragons... they've arrived."

Dragons always acted as an unbreakable horde. Against any insult, they banded together for their haughty kind. With their whole race insulted openly, they'd never stay idle. A full stellar force was set to overwhelm one lone human teen.

Angela trembled without control, her face utterly bloodless.

Witnessing his mother's dread, Grey let out a quiet sigh. He signaled the Beast of Finality, which nodded slowly in deference. Right then, a soothing force enveloped Angela, sending her into a calm, profound slumber.

Grey eyed Anderson. "Look after Mom."

With those words spoken, his radiant eyes scanned the Emperors who'd yelled at him earlier. The moment his overpowering stare hit them, they all looked away in terror. The Dragon Monarch could challenge him, but these spineless leaders couldn't.

Next, his form blurred and vanished from existence. In a flash, he materialized high in the frigid starry void, confronting the colossal dragon fleet head-on.

"As I said earlier, I'm not scared to thrash a pack of giant lizards," Grey bellowed with laughter, his voice thundering through the vacuum. "Where's Melissa and Wang Lin? This is my last question. No clear answer, and the Dragon Clan is finished."

"Are you utterly mad, you worthless vermin?!" The Dragon Monarch's features contorted in savage fury. "Can't you see the vast army at my back? YOU'RE TOAST! I'll slaughter you, your family, and wipe out your bloodline! Then, I'll torment Wang Lin and Melissa specially because of you!"

He grinned viciously, baring his razor fangs. "Melissa turned traitor against the Dragon Clan, and Wang Lin's her vile accomplice. They're locked away in our cells, beyond the Pan-Cosmic Human Alliance's reach!"

At that moment, a glacial voice cut through the void. Right before Grey, Alissa appeared out of nowhere via teleportation.

"Then kill me first," Alissa stated firmly, her gaze like frozen blades. Her heart ached with grief and fury after the Patriarch's harsh words on her kin.

The Dragon Monarch's face grew stormier. "You. What's your game? Awakening as a True Dragon doesn't let you run wild! Got it? You're just a filthy hybrid stained by human blood."

The Dragon Monarch revealed his ugly, bigoted nature at last.

Grey merely sighed. "Hey, it's not so terrible, you know."

Shaking his head, he approached Alissa and lightly ruffled her hair. The unexpected gesture flustered her deeply.

"Y-You! The whole starry sky is watching us!" Alissa stuttered, her face burning crimson with shame.

"You're shy from a head pat, but not from those bold lines you yelled moments ago?" Grey remarked, utterly baffled.

He extended his hand toward her. "Come, grab hold firmly. Today, we're rescuing Richard and his wife."

Alissa gazed at Grey with stunned eyes, unsure of his scheme. Yet she hesitantly took his hand. For some reason, she yearned to cling to him. His aura felt more solid and reliable than anything in this turbulent cosmos.

The second their fingers intertwined, Grey smiled. He turned his eyes back to the Dragon Monarch and the dread fleet of dragons covering the heavens.

"You labeled her a mongrel with human blood, huh?" Grey snickered coldly, without any mirth. "And you, pig? Your lineage is way more impure than hers."

"But enough idle chatter for now."

Pure Nexus energy burst from Grey’s center like a stellar surge. He shared a glance with the Beast of Finality. Instantly, a vast sea of ultimate conceptual might flooded into Grey’s soul.

Boom!

A fearsome, ultimate intent crashed onto the Origin Planet and its surrounding void. Briefly, Grey’s flesh shimmered with the complex, luminous Nexus Overclock patterns. He unleashed his full might without restraint.

Right after, a nightmarish, spirit-shredding wail reverberated across the frozen starry reaches.

SCREEEEEE-KH-KH-KH! SCREEEEEE-KH-KH-KH!

"What in the world?!" The planetary Emperors suddenly quaked in raw panic.

Anderson's eyes narrowed in horror as he looked upward. "This boy... what is he truly?"

Through the pitch-black emptiness, myriad infernal gates tore space-time asunder. Oppressive peak 5th Rank presences exploded from each hellish maw.

From the ragged tears slithered jet-black fiends with serrated, shark teeth and enormous tri-hued devil wings spreading wide.

100...

1,000....

10,000.....

100,000...

1,000,000...!

One million fiends, each pulsing with near-peak 5th Rank terror, swarmed from the stellar fissures.

"WHAT'S HAPPENING?!" The billions on the planet couldn't endure the psychological blow.

The crushing demonic aura broke their spirits, driving them to kneel.

The proud dragons forfeited all poise. The Dragon Monarch gaped at the unreal horror with shaking, bulging eyes.

One million fiends arrayed in flawless ranks behind Grey. He led them, wreathed in Saintly Halos and the exalted Crown of Finality. Beckoning the huge Beast of Finality, Grey drew Alissa with him and lounged on the finality beast’s back, propping his chin boredly.

Beside him, Alissa gawked at the infinite demon horde in total disbelief. Her mind blanked out completely.

Moments later, Grey’s Saintly Halos blazed fiercely. Via his Nexus Sainthood command, the million fiends underwent forced evolution.

[Nexus Transformation]!

A sacred golden-purple glow bathed the dark void. When it receded, the demon legion stood utterly remade.

Their ebony hides became pristine, radiant white armor. Demonic wings morphed to splendid white-purple feathers. Glowing purple-golden halos crowned each head, and spears of solid holy light appeared in their grips.

Above all, their unified auras surged past the 6th Rank barrier decisively!

Grey peered at the ashen Dragon Monarch with total apathy. His voice distorted with layered echoes from Nexus Overclock strain.

"One million 6th Rank Nexus Angels against your pathetic giant lizards. Guess who wins?"

A wild, menacing grin lit Grey’s features.

"Time for a real trial, yeah?"

His holy eyes ignited with savage thrill.

The fabric of reality warped and fractured nearby. The Beast of Finality bellowed, channeling boundless cosmic power into Grey’s Source Core. Overhead, the grand Nexus emblem etched itself across the stars for all to see.

[DOMAIN EXPANSION]!
