Chapter 1607: Chapter 1607
"WHY WON'T YOU LEARN YOUR PLACE, QUICK HARE?! YOU ARE A LOWLY RABBIT! STOP GETTING IN MY WAY! WHAT CAN YOU DO?! NOTHING!"
After the Hive Queen ordered him to resolve his own conflicts, Drakogon lost his composure, transforming into his colossal Dragon Form, larger than Lucifer, composed entirely of mechanical parts and brimming with the Divinity of this world.
He slammed into Quick Hare with his titanic body, driving her into the wasteland floor below, triggering a massive tremor with countless cracks spreading across the ground.
"I have nothing to fear… because I know my friends are there to help! I know Maria is there! And I know she can handle even your glorious Queen!"
"NONSENSE! THE HIVE QUEEN IS THE STRONGEST BEING EVER! NOW BURN!"
Drakogon roared, opening his jaws and unleashing a devastating breath of flames, scorching the surrounding wasteland and melting steel pillars and stone into lava.
Quick Hare leaped away just in time, appearing behind Drakogon's head and striking it with all her strength.
"{Golden Star Leap}!"
Drakogon recoiled from the sharp pain in his head, but his eyes flared brightly. A golden light enveloped Quick Hare, compressing her into place before exploding.
"{Divine Punishment}!"
As the explosion engulfed Quick Hare, Drakogon laughed, spreading his draconic arms, his overwhelming presence making resistance seem futile.
"Hahahaha! That's how you die! See? You're the pathetic, small vermin you always were, Quick Hare! Even your name is absurd! How could I ever take you seriously?! You cannot challenge the power of a God, no matter how you gained that strength! It still cannot compare to—"
"{Bouncing Starlight}!"
Amid the smoke, a radiant golden rabbit emerged, leaping through the air with immense momentum.
She had reverted to her Zodiac Beast form, now golden, larger, and more agile than before, darting from place to place at such speed she became a golden blur around Drakogon.
"You're wrong about something, Drakogon!!!"
"Wha…?! So fast…! How…! WHAT?!"
Drakogon couldn't track her movements, her speed and precision overwhelming.
Worse still, each leap triggered an explosion of starlight, damaging his entire body.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
"Nnnggghh! Stop this foolishness! This won't defeat me!"
"From the beginning…!"
"You thought being a rabbit made me weaker!"
"Being a rabbit has brought me this far! Because… because!"
"S-STOP! STOP THIS!!!"
"BECAUSE I LOVE WHO I AM! AND I HAVE NO SHAME IN BEING A RABBIT!"
Drakogon screamed in agony as countless blows struck him from every direction, resembling bright stars shining around him.
He roared in pain and frustration, his green scales peeling off, revealing his red interior, as his body ignited in its own flames.
"Being a rabbit… gives me strength!"
"BEING PROUD OF BEING VERMIN DOESN'T MAKE YOU LESS PATHETIC, YOU FOOL!"
"Looks like someone's growing desperate! Setting yourself on fire isn't as clever as you think!"
"{Spinning Kick Tornado}!"
Drakogon watched in disbelief as Quick Hare spun in midair, generating a massive tornado that struck his body with immense force. His flames dissipated as an explosion of wind engulfed him, piercing his serpentine dragon form.
The God King screamed. Quick Hare tore a hole through his body, then another, and another, and another.
CRASH! CRASH! CRASH! CRASH!
"Y-YOUUUUU! STOP! MY BLADE…!"
Drakogon, desperate, grabbed his blade and unleashed a barrage of slashing attacks. Yet his speed was too slow, despite his enhancements and Divine Power.
In truth, he was a fraud, lacking the experience, technique, and strength his elder brother once possessed.
"You built an entire city on lies, Drakogon!"
Quick Hare kicked his face. Drakogon snapped back with his sharp jaws, trying to bite her, but she leaped off his metallic nose.
"You weakened everyone, stealing their Zodiac Cores, essential for us to reach our full potential and evolve!"
She dodged dozens of claw attacks, spinning in midair and unleashing another tornado, striking Drakogon's face and tearing out his eye.
"You betrayed our kind, killed your brother and the heroes, thinking you'd reached the pinnacle of your life, didn't you?!"
Drakogon seized her with his claws, grinning. But Quick Hare spun within his grasp, shredding his hands as his fingers scattered.
"Now, everyone knows the truth!"
Drakogon stared at his mangled hands, missing fingers and more, as Quick Hare spun upward, striking his forehead with a rapid attack.
An explosion of golden flames erupted from her strike, leaving Drakogon dizzy.
His body, riddled with holes, crumbled slowly to the ground.
"H-Hive Queen…! Your majesty…! Help me! PLEASE HELP ME! WHAT ABOUT OUR DEAL?!"
He pleaded with the alien, yet the Hive Queen was occupied battling Maria's family, her Undead Army, and the Zodiacrons.
She spared him only a dismissive glance.
"You've outlived your usefulness, Drakogon. You are no longer needed."
Drakogon had believed himself indispensable to her.
Now, he realized the terrible deal he had made.
"Done begging your queen for help, you pathetic excuse for a leader?!"
Quick Hare closed in, unleashing a relentless assault of kicks, blazing explosions, and spinning wind attacks that battered Drakogon's body.
He desperately wielded his divine power and dragon abilities to overcome her…
Quick Hare moved faster, fought smarter, and possessed sharper wits.
She was a natural, a genius fighter despite her cute rabbit form.
She had the soul of a warrior, far surpassing Drakogon's.
"YOU WILL PAY FOR YOUR ATROCITIES, DRAKOGON!"
"DON'T YOU DARE…! DON'T YOU DARE TOUCH ME AGAIN!"
Drakogon tried to flee, unleashing his strongest dragon breath against Quick Hare.
Her radiant body pierced through his flames and his head. Drakogon stood silent, his head cracking, trembling.
In moments, it would all end.
Quick Hare stood behind him, not even glancing back.
She felt disappointed that she had ever admired him.
In his final moments, Drakogon saw fleeting visions of the past.
Of his brother, who always cared for him, patiently teaching him everything.
Drakogon's body erupted in flames, exploding as his scales, arms, head, and fragments scattered into the sky.
Quick Hare sighed in relief. The battle was over.
The liar was gone, and the Zodiacrons were freed from his tyranny.
Thousands of Zodiacrons watched their eyes wide with disbelief.
The ruler they believed was their god, infallible, was a monstrous traitor who sold them out for fame and power.
The man who killed his own brother and the heroes to claim the throne of this world's god by allying with the Hive Queen…
The monster who built their society on lies, extracting Zodiac Cores from the young to suppress their potential and maintain control.
Drakogon, the God King, was slain by a "mere" Rabbit Zodiacron, a type taught to all as "weaklings."
This event transformed everyone's perspective forever.
Yet, though the battle against the tyrant was won, the war was far from over.
The Hive Queen and her Swarm loomed above.
The Zodiacrons fought desperately to survive, gripped by panic.
They needed a leader to restore their hope.
Perhaps Maria could do it.
But she knew that was wrong.
After all, she hadn't nurtured this young Zodiacron to steal the spotlight, right? Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn novel⁂fire.net
