My attributes are increasing infinitely Chapter 422: Killing the fire dragon prince

Having finalized his strategy, Ethan settled into the time field.

The moment had arrived to tackle his utmost priority.

He intended to form his initial Omega Clone.

Ethan recognized the enormous danger involved.

Forming this clone required him to extract one emotion directly from his soul.

Anxiety gripped him over the potential outcomes.

Should he end up devoid of emotions, would he remain the person he knew?

Might he forfeit his human essence?

Fear gnawed at him that he could transform into a beast, yet his instincts assured him this path led to his ambition.

"Yumiko," Ethan addressed his AI companion.

"Should I descend into madness from lacking emotions, you must intervene."

"Aid my remaining clones in halting me."

"There's purpose in crafting seven of them."

"As long as one endures, my true end won't come."

"If disaster strikes, don't hesitate."

"Simply end my threat."

Yumiko responded with her steady, gentle tone.

[I'll follow your every command, Master! Yet I place complete faith in you.]

[I doubt you'll surrender your sanity.]

[Devoid of emotions, you'd still embody the real Ethan.]

[Your strength surpasses your own beliefs.]

A sense of relief washed over Ethan.

A faint smile crossed his lips.

"Thanks for your faith in me," he murmured softly.

With that, he commenced the process.

He delved profoundly into his spiritual core.

The task demanded severing the emotion from his core being.

Once extracted, it would serve as the foundation for the clone.

The endeavor resembled sculpting.

Yet no clay or stone was involved.

Instead, it drew from blood, flesh, and soul essence.

Precision was essential.

A single error might shatter the entire effort.

He anticipated the prolonged duration.

Forging flawless life from void proved arduous.

Time posed no concern for Ethan.

He possessed ample duration at his disposal.

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 with hatred blazing in his gaze.

As a prince of the Fire Dragon lineage, Trian was accustomed to commanding attention.

Yet this evening, all eyes fixed on Ethan.

Above all, Rose's attention was on Ethan.

Trian had coveted Rose for ages.

Normally, her icy demeanor spared him envy.

But tonight, 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 charm other men?"

"You are mine!"

"If I can't claim you, no one shall!"

Maniacal laughter erupted from him.

Vile words poured forth.

He vowed harm to Rose and her sibling.

His scheme involved seizing their strength and confining them as playthings eternally.

His royal status convinced him of invincibility.

"I am Trian Valentine!" he roared.

"Nothing halts me when desire strikes!"

Jealousy and shame consumed him.

Ethan outshone him in appearance.

Ethan's wealth eclipsed his own.

Overnight, Ethan's renown surpassed his.

Worst of all, genuine affection linked Rose to Ethan.

Trian faced his guard, the veteran Ren.

Ren, an Eternal Sovereign, wielded immense might.

"Uncle Ren!" Trian snapped.

"Slay that wretch Ethan immediately!"

"Seize every woman from Rose's kin."

"They'll attend to me this night!"

Trian's words barely concluded.

Abruptly, a silhouette materialized before him.

Its arrival escaped all notice.

As if conjured from emptiness.

It was Ethan.

Coldness filled Ethan's stare at Trian.

His tone stayed subdued, yet it echoed to all.

"You filthy lizard," Ethan uttered deliberately.

"You've lingered in existence far too long."

"Eternal slumber awaits you now."

Boom!

A deafening explosion rang out, and Trian vanished.

He didn't merely collapse.

His form disintegrated into shimmering specks.

The 13th Fire Dragon prince, of noble lineage, perished like insignificant vermin.

Silence gripped the chamber for moments.

Time itself seemed halted.

Disbelief seized every witness.

A prince slain amid the assembly.

The deed unfolded so swiftly that elite fighters missed the strike.

Ethan's words lingered unhurried.

Yet his form blurred beyond light's speed.

"No... no, no!" Ren, the guardian, unleashed a quaking wail.

"Trian! My son!"

"Awaken!"

"This defies reality!"

Ren's sorrow ignited into feral fury.

His human guise dissolved.

Crimson 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 you!" the dragon thundered.

His cry mimicked crashing storms.

"Death claims all within these walls!"

"You'll join my son in oblivion!"

Dread prevented Ren from targeting Ethan outright.

Thus, he unleashed wrath on Rose and her kin.

"Your fault birthed this!" he snarled at Rose.

"Perish this day!"

The dragon inhaled deeply.

He drew ambient energy inward.

Preparing his ultimate assault.

The Dragon Breath.

Capable of reducing cities to cinders.

"Duck!" the assembled dignitaries cried.

Panic overwhelmed them.

They grasped the devastation of a Fire Dragon's exhalation.

Rose, Zara her sister, and Erina paled.

Searing waves assured their doom.

Melida leaped to shield them.

Erecting a mystical barrier.

Yet her grip trembled.

Uncertainty plagued her against draconic might.

Their fears proved needless.

Ethan's rage forbade the dragon's completion.

In a flash, Ethan dissolved from sight.

He rematerialized aloft.

Directly before the beast's enormous visage.

Dwarfed by the colossus.

Fearlessness defined his demeanor.

"You lizard," Ethan declared.

Clarity cut through the inferno's din.

"You bedded your own Empress?"

"Such a 'devoted' sentinel."

"The Fire Dragon Emperor would relish hearing Trian wasn't his heir."

"He was yours."

Shock widened the dragon's orbs.

Hush blanketed the hall.

A bombshell revelation had dropped.

Ren scarcely processed the accusation.

Boom!

The atmosphere detonated.

The immense Eternal Sovereign dragon erased utterly.

No remains lingered.

He dissolved into void, mirroring his offspring.

Ethan hovered briefly.

Then descended gracefully.

He adjusted his attire.

Surveying the space.

Utter quiet reigned.

Awe-struck terror etched every face.

The prince lay slain.

The dragon extinguished.

Ethan unscathed, effortless.

Ethan met Rose's eyes with a subtle nod.

The peril had passed.
