1892 Spoils of War
As Meng Chao thought about it, three images immediately appeared in his mind.

The first picture was a frozen wasteland that was comparable to an ocean. There were crisscrossing lead-gray and silvery-white ravines that showed the harshness of a frosty hell.

In the depths of the wilderness, a behemoth that was as big as an Apocalyptic Beast but ten times more imposing slowly crawled out from the deepest ravine. It was so deep that the sun might never rise again if it set into the ravine. The earth trembled, and there was a deep rumbling all around.

Its fur protruded out like bone spurs, and its eyes were like a nest of lightning that shot out lightning bolts. There were still bits and pieces of dragon meat and bones at the corner of its mouth. It was also surrounded by a cluster of silver mist. The temperature of the extremely cold land was already close to minus one hundred degrees Celsius. Yet, wherever it went, the temperature would drop further until everything would break, shatter, and disintegrate.

There were giant dragons of the wasteland lurking in the hidden dragon caves hundreds of miles away. Even they could not help but let out shrill roars and rise from every corner when they sensed its presence. They tried to escape to the south like panic-stricken sparrows for a chance of survival.

!!
The giant beast known as the Dragon Devourer swaggered over step by step until its eyes that were filled with lightning reflected the clear outline of a human being.

It was Meng Chao’s silhouette.

In the second image, the Dragon Devourer, which had been majestic and domineering a moment ago, had fallen to the ground with its limbs spread out.

There were no scars on its surface.

Not even a single strand of its gorgeous gold and silver fur was touched.
However, its eyes that were shooting lightning a moment ago no longer showed any light…

No, to be more precise, its eyes were missing.

Its eyeballs had been replaced with two empty holes or two tunnels that led straight to the brain.

Its brain had also disappeared. All of its brain matter, central nervous system, as well as brain cells, had been perfectly removed and extracted by Meng Chao with the precision of a scalpel. They were being turned into raw materials for the refinement of super gene serum.

The giant beast’s body was not completely dead, and its heart was still beating weakly thanks to what was left of its nervous system.

However, its soul had already been harvested and devoured by Meng Chao, and it had submitted to Meng Chao’s spirit world.

In the third image, Meng Chao was seated on a huge stone throne, and it was covered in the Dragon Devourer’s fur.

The rulers of the wilderness, whether it was the Elk Tribe, Red Bull Tribe, Longbow Tribe, Giant Ax Tribe of the Ice Giants, or the most powerful and brutal Two-headed Ogres, or even the oddly-shaped demons in the Eternal Night Abyss did not seem chaotic, brutal, and bloodthirsty at this point. Instead, these Chaos creatures that usually appeared in the nightmares of the Holy Light faction’s ordinary people lined up in a careful and orderly manner. One by one, they walked up to Meng Chao and got down on one knee. They bowed to him respectfully and acknowledged his authority as the alliance leader.

“Ah, this is a memory of me going to the wilderness in the far north to inform the Ice Giants, Abyssfolk, as well as ogres, about Dragon City’s friendship with Picturesque Orchid Lake. I also invited them to join the Chaos faction.

“It was a rather successful diplomatic event. Even though the Holy Light puppets said that the barbarians in the northernmost wilderness were extremely dangerous lunatics and that there was no possibility of communication or negotiation, why did I find them quite cultured, polite, and reasonable? They could even sing and dance.

“Sigh. Come to think of it, that was more than ten years ago. Time really is like a silvery-white stream that flows quietly. It doesn’t seem to flow very fast, but it never freezes or turns back!”

Meng Chao placed his hands behind his back and slowly paced on the carpet. He enjoyed the giant Dragon Devourer’s fur, and he felt electricity flowing through his feet. It was a numbing feeling.

He looked around the originally large room, and it was filled with rare treasures. Rather than calling it a bedroom, it was more like a unique private museum in the Other World.

Just like the Dragon Devourer’s fur, these rare treasures were the most memorable spoils of war that Meng Chao had obtained during his half a century of battles.

“This is the Curse of a Thousand Nights, a cursed weapon that the Blood Elves refined by sacrificing the souls of several hundred elite swordsmen. The battle with the Blood Elf King in the Blood Pool of the Decaying Sea was indeed the most soul-stirring and satisfying hand-to-hand battle I’ve ever experienced in my life.

“Ever since I cut off the Blood Elf King’s three arms and seized this cursed weapon, there has been no worthy opponent in terms of close combat. I’ve never had to push my physical strength, wisdom, and will to the limit like I did in that battle. I even broke through in the face of battle and surpassed my peak!

“This helmet belonged to Mora Locke, the Knights of Infinite Glory’s leader. He was known as the strongest Holy Knight in the Holy Light faction in the last hundred years. That battle was just like Mora Locke’s personality; it was boring and uninteresting. The strongest Holy Knight didn’t know how to dodge or adapt at all. I merely advanced like a road roller and crushed him.

“However, there’s something strange about his armor. It’s said that it has received the blessings of 30 Holy Light high priests from the Holy Light Temple in the past 1,000 years. It can resist all visible and invisible damage. Even if the world collapses, it guarantees that the armor’s wearer won’t die.

“It doesn’t matter, though. Just because the person’s body is intact doesn’t mean that his spirit power will always be as strong as before. In terms of how to break the spirit defense of an intelligent carbon-based creature, the Dragon City civilization has the advantage of dimensional reduction against the Other World natives.

“Compared to the regular paladins, this legendary sorcerer was rather interesting. Who would have thought that this legendary sorcerer had the bloodline of the Abyssfolk and a dual personality? He was known as the embodiment of justice and the messenger of light, who maintained the order of a region. He was highly respected by everyone.

“I had defeated his main personality, the Elemental Fury, but the second personality of the Plague Bringer was still lurking in the depths of his brain. To be honest, I was quite surprised when the second personality jumped out and he instantly resurrected with full health!”
