Evolving Silver Dragon - Chapter 428
Chapter 428: 446 What is the Price_1
The two colossal creatures met in the air, both flapping their enormous dragon wings, remaining midair, and began to size each other up.
Upon looking at each other, both displayed expressions of astonishment.
Apparently, the other side hadn’t expected Otto to be here, which was, in a way, a deviation from her plan.
As for Otto, he was completely an unanticipated visitor, and surprisingly, an acquaintance.
Scarlet scales, a streamlined sturdy dragon body, and a pair of imposing dragon horns.
Wasn’t this Red Lotus, the Tool Dragon that Otto had just been thinking about?
However, Red Lotus at the moment seemed somewhat different; firstly, his body was larger, and Otto felt a more pure, or perhaps terrifying presence from him.
Although the body was still the same, the essence had undergone changes for sure.
And, at this moment, Red Lotus gave Otto a familiar feeling, and it wasn’t the first time Otto had encountered this situation.
Not long ago, a certain Platinum Dragon God had descended in the same manner, hadn’t he?
Thinking of this, Otto narrowed his eyes at Red Lotus and suddenly said, “Good day, Great Mother of Evil Dragons, Tiamat.”
“Ah, this is truly unexpected…”
Red Lotus chuckled lightly, then looked at Otto with interest and said, “At first, I was a little surprised. When did an Undead Dragon like you manage to grow to this extent, and even dare to brazenly appear before me?
Fortunately, I quickly realized that you too are my lovely offspring; otherwise, you would have already been turned to ashes by my fury!”
Although she uttered a bunch of out-of-place words, Red Lotus didn’t deny Otto’s statement, and one could say that she admitted it.
However, Tiamat-as-Red Lotus was utterly shameless, taking advantage of Otto the moment they met.
Although in a way, she wasn’t wrong, since Otto carried half of the Red Dragon bloodline.
However, Otto didn’t think that just by borrowing Red Lotus’ body to descend, Tiamat could be powerful enough to discern his identity at a glance.
After all, Otto’s shape-shifting ability was very refined; previously, even Bahamut hadn’t detected any abnormalities in Otto’s Purgatory Demon Dragon disguise.
So Otto reckoned that it must have been after he spoke, Tiamat deduced the truth based on Red Lotus’ memories of him.
And in fact, it was similar to what Otto had guessed; likewise, Tiamat had come specifically for him this time.
Flapping her dragon wings, Tiamat circled around Otto and said with a low voice, “I suggest you return to your original form as soon as possible. Even I detest the existence of Undead Dragons.
Before I can no longer control my rage, you had better not present your damned appearance in front of me!”
“If that’s your only small request, I think I can oblige!”
Otto nodded and transformed back into his Silver Dragon form under Tiamat’s expectant gaze.
Tiamat was delighted by Otto’s cooperation, but the dazzling silver scales on his body now seemed extremely unpleasant to her eyes.
“Hmm, I don’t like the color of your scales right now.”
Tiamat stared intensely at Otto, then reached out her front claw, a small red flame dancing gleefully within.
Although the flame appeared ordinary, Otto could see at a glance that it contained numerous precious things.
Unable to help it, Otto’s eyes were filled with longing as he looked at the flame.
“My child, buried within this flame lies the bloodline of the Ancestral Red Dragon.”
Tiamat was evidently satisfied with Otto’s change in expression, but just as he was about to reach out for the dancing flame in her hand, Tiamat violently closed her dragon claw.
She then looked at Otto with a sneer and said with a demeanor implying she had him under her control, “My dear child, although your body carries my blood, you’ve committed many unforgivable deeds throughout these years.”
Devouring True Dragons, creating and unleashing Undead Dragons…
Besides those, you have undertaken many heinous actions. By all rights, I should bring divine punishment and destruction upon you at this very moment.
However, out of love for my offspring, my dear child, I am willing to give you one chance.”
Seeing Otto remaining silent for a long time, Tiamat started feeling displeased, but she still contained her anger and told him her most important purpose for this visit.
She opened her dragon claw once again, her red flame dancing in the center excitedly.
“My child, if you wish to receive my forgiveness and obtain this precious Ancestral Bloodline, you must pay a certain price.”
With her words finished, Tiamat looked at Otto with anticipation.
In her opinion, no dragon could resist this temptation, especially with the Mother of Evil Dragons’ advent.
As Tiamat had anticipated, Otto slowly raised his head, stared at her, and asked word by word, “So, Great Mother of Evil Dragons, what is the price?”
Tiamat laughed, as if she already had everything in her grasp.
“All of you!”
The Mother of Evil Dragons said so.
Afterward, she elaborated on her demands in greater detail.
First, Otto must pledge to her his full loyalty, and in addition to that, he must destroy all the Undead Dragons under his control.
If he could satisfy her, Otto might even have the opportunity to become her divine emissary and ascend to her Divine Kingdom, besides receiving the promised Ancestral Bloodline!
To most Evil Dragons, this would undoubtedly be an irresistible proposal.
Originally, Tiamat wanted Otto to offer up all his wealth, but considering the nature of most dragons, she abandoned the idea.
For most dragons, those shiny gold coins and gems often carried more weight than their own lives in many situations.
During their daily rituals, any dragon willing to offer a few more coins to Tiamat was considered her most devout follower.
Just thinking of it made Tiamat grind her teeth in irritation.
Like most dragons, she also had an unhealthy obsession with gold coins and other glittering items.
However, soon Tiamat looked dissatisfied at Otto because the latter had yet to provide a satisfactory response to her demands.
This was supposed to be an irresistible offer!
While Tiamat thought so, Otto clearly held a completely different view.
Setting aside other things, the promises of the Mother of Evil Dragons, Tiamat?
Ha! Otto would rather believe in obtaining a godhead from a toilet bowl!
