The Dragon was about to undergo a true metamorphosis!
Every movement of its body caused a spatial disturbance in the Etheric Abyss, which, through the butterfly effect, further influenced the development of the entire Abyss World.
Yet, facing its own achievements, it remained unflustered, neither joyous nor sad, with nothing but a cold gaze, devoid of much emotion.
Perhaps, in its view, standing out among countless lives was just a natural occurrence, a "mission" it was inherently meant to accomplish.
What is given by heaven must be taken, or one suffers the consequences.
If it could not achieve this, it would be a sin, better to die.
Or perhaps, it simply had no emotions at all. As an Idealistic species about to undergo a transformation, it had to choose a suitable Rule.
The Rule was itself!
However, before the real transformation occurred, it had once again painstakingly come to a small canyon.
