Global Era of Star trekking Chapter 1873 - 909: Space-Time Nether Brilliance Dragon (Part 2)

"Indeed, troublesome!" Song Chi kept his face steady, as he had already foreseen this turn of events.

The Space-Time Nether Brilliance Dragon struck back with lightning speed, its wings beating rapidly to create a hazy figure that looked like it materialized in all four spots at once. Its claws ripped open the emptiness, the afterimages weaving in forces of time speedup and space slicing, targeting the White Bone Giants along with the pair of warships.

Sszzzz!

Right away, severe gashes formed across the enormous frames of the White Bone Giants, where Time Power swirled around the injuries, blocking their powerful bone regeneration during combat.

Meanwhile, the Energy Shields covering the two Mythical Immortal Ships wavered intensely, on the verge of ripping open.

In the dragon's eyes, fury faded away, giving place to an icy contempt typical of a superior hunter, since the assault got effortlessly blocked by the space-time shield.

Once more, its wings beat, shifting between the real world and illusory voids, materializing right over one White Bone Giant's skull.

"Time Slowdown!"

A hidden force field wrapped around this White Bone Giant without delay, making its swing with the bone blade feel crushed under a slowdown multiplied a thousand times, crawling along as though completely halted.

Within its almost stalled awareness, the Nether Brilliance Dragon's claw, laced with "Space Cutting Power", struck its cranium at full-speed time, flashing with a menacing purple-golden shine.

Crack!

A sharp breaking noise rang out, as fissures split across the giant's broad skull, exposing the soul fire inside, while raging Space Power gnawed away, stopping the cracks from mending. Even worse, the lingering "Time Imprint" slowed every move of this White Bone Giant to a crawl, as if weighed down by the endless burden of space-time.

The second White Bone Giant bellowed and rushed in to aid, converting Death Energy into a barrage of bone lances that flew chaotically, yet the Nether Brilliance Dragon merely shot a frosty look, lashing out with its tail—not striking head-on but folding a space crease in the vacuum.

Every bone lance that hit this crease area plunged into an endless pit, twisted and rerouted by force, astonishingly flipping back to target the two Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong ships.

"Time Acceleration!"

The Nether Brilliance Dragon parted its jaws, unleashing yet another purple-golden beam straight at the Mirror Image of the Heavenly Ruins Sky Dome.

The Mirror Image Warship, wrapped in the beam, experienced a surge in its Energy Shield flow, onboard systems' functions, and even the buildup of its strikes, all boosted by hundreds of times in an instant.

But this effect vanished quickly, thanks to the strong time countermeasures from the ship's [Time Chess Board] and [Blessing of the Time God King], which rapidly broke down the time laws imposed on the vessel into nothing.

Still, the fight had completely fallen into the Space-Time Nether Brilliance Dragon's tempo, graceful and deadly like a dancer of space-time gliding across the field of battle.

Spatial Imprisonment!

Just as the White Bone Giant's strikes were closing in, the dragon's claw seized the empty air, instantly "locking" the space in that area, causing the White Bone Giant's movements to freeze up, like being stuck in an unseen swamp.

It could even briefly summon its own space-time illusions, these copies holding some striking force and hard to tell apart, drawing heavy fire while its real form delivered deadly blows from unexpected positions.

From time to time, strikes broke through its guard and hit the scales, but it reversed the local time to restore the damage to its pre-hit state. Though it drained a lot, this sufficed to counter most harm, making it seem nearly impossible to take down.

The pair of White Bone Giants, for all their tremendous power, got played like toys in its grasp, covered in wounds and limited in their motions.

The majority of the warships' barrages struck nothing or got pushed aside, unable to build up solid joint attacks.

Noticing the situation, Song Chi moved fast, as both Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong hulls lit up with rainbow hues. In the next instant, a swarm of rainbow chess tokens assembled over the ships, quickly forming two massive phantom rainbow chessboards.

[Time Chess Board]· "Time·Chessboard!"

Bolstered by their personal Time Domains, the two White Bone Giants acted as if freed, shifting smoothly without the odd time effects from the Space-Time Nether Brilliance Dragon holding them back.

As for the foe's Spatial Power, Song Chi duplicated and adapted [Soul Devouring Altar] into a version that mimicked [Heaven and Earth Sealing Tower], then deployed a multicolored sealing barrier, enclosing the dragon and the rest, to curb the enemy's Spatial Power to the utmost.

Following that, the Space-Time Nether Brilliance Dragon faced serious curbs, yet its inborn bloodline skills stood at the pinnacle. Even with its core space and time abilities held back, wrapping up the clash soon remained a tough challenge.

With the fight dragging on without breakthroughs, and the multicolored sealing barrier weakening further from the clash's fallout, on the brink of total collapse, Song Chi realized he couldn't wait anymore. Resolve flickered in his gaze, and he boldly triggered the Mirror Image Warship's ultimate technique.

"Twelve Lives Life and Death Chess, start!"

Buzz!

The hull of the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong's Mirror Image warship erupted in enigmatic rainbow glows, launching a distinct solid rainbow pawn that sped toward the Space-Time Nether Brilliance Dragon, fusing into its battling shape right away.

The Nether Brilliance Dragon paused for a second, detecting an unseen restraint tied to fate and laws bearing down on it.

It let out an enraged bellow, trying to shake it off with its mighty build, but found this power, loaded with utter death and destruction, stuck to it like a bone-deep parasite, and despite all struggles, it wouldn't budge. Rather, it burst savagely inside its frame.

In a flash, horrifying Power of Death cloaked its whole dragon shape, and the immense life force of the Upper Dragon Race started fading swiftly at that point.

But the ordeal was just beginning.

The Eleventh Rank Space-Time Nether Brilliance Dragon proved far too fearsome; this opening move from Life and Death Chess only sapped less than a fifth of its vitality.

"Twelve Lives Life and Death Chess, activate again!"

The next "Death Chess" fell, clearly cutting the dragon's prowess.

The third, the fourth...

By the time the fifth "Death Chess" force detonated inside it, the Space-Time Nether Brilliance Dragon unleashed a cry of alarm and rage.

It sensed five unseen peaks crushing down on it, sharply dropping its strength, quickness, and toughness, particularly its grasp and mastery of Space-Time Power, with the nearby space-time waves turning sparse and disordered, stripping away much of its former instinctive control.

"Now is the time!"

Song Chi had anticipated exactly this chance, and on the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong, shifted into the "Immortal Godslaying Cannon" mode via the [Slaying Immortal Sword Formation], the barrel had amassed that doomsday chaotic hue.

"Absolute Hit!" A hundred million Spectral Energy Points vanished, enforcing a causal bind beyond time-space on the greatly diminished Nether Brilliance Dragon.

"High-dimensional Chaos Annihilation Strike!" Fifty billion Spectral Energy Points got fired off.

Boom!!!

That chaotic blade beam, ignoring range and order, emerged anew.

Now, the space-time wall erected by the Space-Time Nether Brilliance Dragon crumbled like tissue against the beam, getting punched through in no time.

It tried a space-time leap to dodge, but with the "Absolute Hit" seal in place, every escape attempt fell flat.

The chaotic blade beam struck true into its dragon body.

No blast followed, just pure obliteration at its core.

The Nether Brilliance Dragon's huge form quaked violently, its life essence leaking out like a ruptured dam, the brilliant eyes in its head losing luster fast, and the overbearing waves of Space-Time Power nearby flickering out like a breeze-blown flame.

As the chaotic blade's force faded, the Space-Time Nether Brilliance Dragon floated feebly amid the stars, its vital signs faint as glowing insects.

By then, over ninety-nine percent of its life force had drained away.

Luckily, Song Chi held back on extra strikes like the "Hunting God’s Weakness Mark", "Black Hole·Singularity Sacrificial Explosion", "Origin Star’s Origin Core", and steered clear of its vital spots; had he not, this Space-Time Nether Brilliance Dragon could have met total end.

Aboard the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong, the [Heavenly Authority Control Ring] blazed with light, sending out a potent soul brand. Yet first, Song Chi triggered the [Song of Divine Favor] duplicate, boosting the odds of taming it this round.

"Absolute Enslavement!"

After a brief resistance, the soul brand from the Heavenly Authority Control Ring solidified.

In the Space-Time Nether Brilliance Dragon's fading eyes, signs of yielding and loyalty finally appeared.

Through the soul connection, Song Chi sensed the fourth Mythical Enslavement Mark (Asura Emperor, Dragon Spine Tyrant Whale, War Puppet Mother Tree, Space-Time Nether Brilliance Dragon), letting out a deep breath of relief.

This mighty adversary, who had nearly dominated the whole domain via Space-Time Power, ended up tamed by him at last.
