Just as Daenerys's cry, filled with desperate hope, was about to be completely swallowed by the endless chorus of celestial sound, Lo Quen unleashed the second form of his ultimate skill right before the Drowned God.
In an instant, a violent flash of light erupted across the star-filled sky.
This was no ordinary radiance. It was the brilliance of billions of stars igniting at the same moment.
A resplendent stellar glow, carrying the vast, surging power of the cosmos.
That burst of starlight instantly overwhelmed the blood-red pillar piercing the heavens, even briefly driving back the absolute darkness shrouding the world.
Within the Palace of Flowing Water, the Drowned God's face showed shock and fear for the first time.
"No… this is impossible! What kind of power is this?! It doesn't belong to Blackstone… it doesn't belong to the Outer Gods… This is… what exactly are you?!"
Within the light, Lo Quen's figure had already vanished.
In its place stood an existence beyond the limits of mortal understanding.
His shape still retained the outline of a dragon, yet it had ascended to a cosmic level.
His body was no longer flesh and scales, but formed from countless rotating galaxies, shimmering nebulae, and blazing stars. Dark-golden cosmic energy flowed through his entire being. Long and elegant, he carried power enough to crush stars in his grasp.
At this point, Lo Quen no longer needed wings.
He himself had become the embodiment of the starry firmament. Wherever his will reached, he could roam across space on a cosmic scale.
This was the ultimate form awakened when Dragonblood purity reached 100%.
Starforger Dragon!
An inheritance of the power of Aurelion Sol, the Starforger Dragonlord of the League of Legends universe.
Starforger Dragon Lo Quen glanced at his skill panel after activating his second form.
Passive Skill:
[Cosmic Resurgence]: The Starforger Dragon's magic is now linked to the boundless sea of stars. Every act of destruction against an enemy returns stellar power to him, granting mana without end.
Active Skills:
[Galactic Surge]: The Starforger Dragon no longer exhales mortal flame, but a torrent of starfire that annihilates all matter.
[Celestial Velocity]: The Starforger Dragon's speed vastly surpasses the speed of light, allowing him to traverse the stars.
[Gravitational Convergence]: The Starforger Dragon can manipulate gravity, creating black holes that devour everything.
Ultimate Skill:
[Celestial Cascade]:
Starfall: The Starforger Dragon plucks a massive star from the cosmos and smashes it into the earth, dealing magical damage and stunning enemies;
Celestial Cascade: The Starforger Dragon drags the wrath of an entire constellation from the universe, unleashing cosmic-level magical damage over a far greater area, with the power to destroy an entire galaxy.
With such abilities at his disposal, he was nothing short of invincible.
Lo Quen's enormous draconic eyes turned toward the dwarf lurking beneath the deep sea of the Icefire World.
The Drowned God, whose schemes had spanned tens of thousands of years, stared at Lo Quen in profound shock, as if unable to believe that what stood before him truly existed.
"Drowned God, before infinite power, all your schemes are nothing more than laughable dust…"
The voice of Starforger Dragon Lo Quen was vast and cold, like the murmuring of countless stars, resounding directly within the remnant soul of the Drowned God.
He did not even activate a single active skill. With nothing more than a shift of intent, the starlight naturally flowing around him responded as if guided, instantly illuminating the shadowy deep-sea projection where the Drowned God's remnant soul lay hidden.
"No—!!!"
The Drowned God let out a final, despairing shriek.
Where the starlight passed, the remnant soul sustained by magic was unable to offer even the slightest resistance and evaporated instantly.
At the same time, the mental links connecting him to the Kraken clans scattered throughout the world's seas, the vessels prepared for his resurrection, were completely severed.
The Drowned God, who had plotted for ten thousand years, was utterly destroyed.
Yet Starforger Dragon Lo Quen had already turned his gaze beyond the sky.
The massive planet bearing a crimson eye was now unimaginably close.
The maddening celestial resonance nearly tore apart the sanity of all living beings.
His vast dragon body, formed of stars, shifted ever so slightly.
In the next instant, he appeared in the outer orbit of the cold, desolate Icefire World.
Against the backdrop of the cosmos, his form unfolded, standing fully revealed, no smaller than the descending Outer God planet itself.
A Starforger Dragon, majestic and sacred, its entire body flowing with dark-golden starlight, faced off against the twisted, deranged, malice-filled crimson-eyed planet at the edge of the world's orbit.
At that moment, the entire world saw it.
The black canopy that had devoured all light was largely driven back by the starlight naturally radiating from the Starforger Dragon.
Everyone could see that opposite the terrifying crimson planet in the sky stood another colossal presence, a golden, star-lit dragon that inspired both reassurance and awe.
On the ruins of K'Dath, Daenerys stopped crying.
Janice, Jaelena, Chai Yiq, Sansa, Ynys…
All the Queens lifted their heads. Tears blurred their vision, not from fear, but from overwhelming emotion.
"It's His Grace!"
Luo Wen was so excited he nearly dropped to his knees, while the soldiers behind him erupted into frenzied cheers, like survivors reborn after catastrophe.
Melisandre stared blankly at the star-lit dragon in the sky and murmured, "Is this… a true miracle?"
Far away at Storm's End in Westeros, Tyrion sprang to his feet, pointing at the sky, his voice shaking with shock.
"That dragon! That golden dragon! It's His Grace! Gods above—no! His Grace above! He… he's grown as big as the stars?!"
Davos stood with his mouth agape, gazing at the star-lit dragon confronting the alien god beyond the world, as though witnessing an ancient hero from legend battling a demon.
No, it was far more overwhelming than that.
Meizo at Conquest Keep, merchants in Braavos, spice nobles in Qarth, sailors in Volantis…
Across the entire world, every person who had not yet gone mad witnessed this miracle-like scene.
They might not know the true identity of the star-lit dragon.
But the sight of it standing against the evil Outer God, radiating vast and noble power, gave them a fragile thread of hope amid endless terror.
Starforger Dragon Lo Quen's dragon eyes, formed of stars, calmly regarded the crimson Outer God looming at arm's length.
His vast, resonant voice echoed directly within the hearts of every being watching the sky, answering Daenerys's final cry:
"Dany, I'm here. I've always been here."
The crimson Outer God was clearly caught off guard by the sudden arrival of the Starforger Dragon.
The frenzied eyeball on its surface froze for a fleeting instant.
Even the celestial resonance that had been tormenting the sanity of the entire world paused for a strange heartbeat.
As if the whole universe itself were stunned by this sudden confrontation.
Then, boundless fury surged within it.
It sensed the power of order emanating from Lo Quen, completely opposed to its own chaotic nature and utterly repulsive to it.
This planet was on the verge of becoming its meal, yet an interloper had appeared to disrupt everything.
"BZZZZ—!!!!"
A compressed celestial resonance, ten times stronger than before, burst forth from the crimson eye on the Outer God planet's surface, lancing straight toward Starforger Dragon Lo Quen.
This attack carried the primordial chaotic essence of the Outer God, enough to tear apart Old Ones in the conventional sense.
Yet in the face of this civilization-ending assault,
Lo Quen did not even assume a defensive stance.
He merely opened the dragon's maw, shaped from nebulae, and a torrent of Galactic Surge poured forth, carrying the violent power of the universe at the moment of its birth.
The starfire was not flame, but an extremely condensed, world-creating stellar radiance.
It collided silently with the compressed celestial resonance in the vacuum of space, triggering a terrifying annihilation.
