Foreign Land Reclamation By a Vegetable-growing Skeleton

When Ange touched the egg and extended the time of Dragon God Transformation, everyone assumed the egg was that of a Dragon God.

However, they all forgot one thing. What can stimulate potential besides parental discipline? The answer is: a nemesis.

For a girl, the moment of her greatest potential awakening is usually when a rat or cockroach suddenly leaps towards her. Fear of a natural enemy is often a more effective motivator than parental discipline.

And inside this egg, lies the nemesis of the Giant Dragon Clan.

“Nemesis? Celius?!” Negris’s scales stood on end in excitement.

It was already a Corpse Dragon and only a soul projection at that, but the very thought of this name still elicited a stress response. This attests to the intimidating effect the name had on it.

This name was intimidating to all members of the Dragon Clan. It was a fear of the nemesis etched into their bloodline. However, no living giant dragons had ever actually seen Celius.

Just as every dragon knew how to perform the Dragon God Transformation but none had successfully transformed. However, a farming skeleton achieved it relying on the transformation ability of a Druid. It was simply absurd.

According to legend, Celius was a giant snake that could swallow an entire plane with one gulp. Its favourite delicacy was dragon eggs, eating them one by one…

This tells us the absurdity of the legend. If a giant snake could swallow an entire plane in one gulp, how could it possibly savour dragon eggs one by one? Even if all the dragons were bundled together, they wouldn’t make a mouthful.

Therefore, Negris logically deduced from its knowledge that this legend was nonsense. It was very likely a story fabricated by the Dragon God to frighten the giant dragons and caution future generations.

If it was just a giant snake, it couldn’t be a nemesis to giant dragons. Besides, it didn’t specifically target dragons.

Apart from the giant serpent form, Celius had a second form — the Serpent of Misfortune. It was made up of a blood-like fog which, according to legend, could cause dragons to degrade and give birth to a snake just by looking at it.

Can you imagine how it feels to lay a dragon’s egg, incubate it patiently for five hundred years, and then a snake slithers out of it?

Not only have five hundred years of hard work gone to waste, but you also don’t know how to face the snake. It doesn’t know it’s a snake! It thinks it’s a dragon, a proud descendant of its parents, and it only wonders why it looks different from them.

This is simply a tragedy of morals. Those with a hard heart kill it straight away while those who are softhearted have no choice but to endure the odd looks from their kind and to raise it grudgingly. After all, they have already bonded with it over five hundred years when it was still in the egg.

This is the nemesis of the Dragon Clan, Celius, the Serpent of Misfortune.

During the Dragon God Transformation, Ange punched the egg and solidified the space around it. Consequently, fiery cracks appeared on the egg’s surface. Ange then compressed thirteen exploding fireballs into the egg per second.

The whole egg was covered in fiery cracks. While the Dragon God Transformation still had time, Ange continued to accumulate Purification spells around the egg at the rate of thirteen per second. In doing so, the egg would be burned completely and instantly purified at the same time.

Ange’s cautious approach did not seem excessive to Negris. The mere mention of Celius was terrifying to giant dragons. The thought of ‘becoming infected just by looking’ was utterly unfathomable.

Such absurd allegations prompted Negris to close his eyes and refuse to look.

The time of spatial solidification had come. All the exploding fireballs contained in the egg burst simultaneously, accompanied by a dazzling Holy Light.

Those standing nearby saw endless rays of light. But those who were at a distance saw fire and light gushing out together, instantly obliterating everything in front of them. ṞＡɴöʙÈŚ

The egg disappeared completely without leaving a trace of smoke.

Negris opened his eyes, not daring to look at Ange, but instead turned to Anthony in agitation and asked, “How’s it? Did it get erased?”

“It’s erased. There’s not even a bit left,” said Anthony, awestruck.

Negris finally dared to turn and look at Ange. In front of Ange, there was no rock egg, no blood mist, not even the ground. It revealed a pointed deep trench that was emanating heat and the smell of purified Holy Light.

“Not a trace left indeed. You’re amazing, Ange!” Negris loudly praised.

However, Ange just shook his head, staring at the empty space in front of him.

“What do you mean? Why are you shaking your head?” Negris felt a ominous twinge in his heart.

Only then did Ange realize that everyone else could not see what was in front of him. He quickly shared what he was seeing through psychic contact.

Only those with a psychic link to him could see what he was sharing. In front of Ange, there was a writhing, snake-like object composed of Soul Flame.

“S…Serpent of Misfortune!” Negris cried out in panic, “I understand now, I understand why you get infected just by looking. The Serpent of Misfortune is a force of belief. The nemesis of the Dragon Clan is another god. I’m done for, I looked at it, I’m infected!”

As if hearing Negris’s voice, the writhing Serpent of Misfortune suddenly paused, one end of it pointed at Negris.

Though the Serpent of Misfortune appeared as only a rod-shaped object with no discernible features like eyes, when one end pointed at Negris, he felt as though he was being stared at.
