The Empyreal Gem Master

The glorious head of a Water Serpent Dragon was pierced through and through by a golden spear that seemed like solid gold.

Crimson blood flowed down its body that still had its muscles spasming and twitching, and the man responsible for it all kept the body of this regal beast afloat while he collected the Ruler's Gems that fell out!

While he did this, his voice calmly rang out.

[You all have come to a decision?]

…!

In the distance, the bodies of the Earth Dragon and Purple Dragon shook as they bent their heads unwillingly, thinking up many plots as ultimately, they could do nothing but bow down if they wanted to keep their lives before a Sky Ruler!

[We…will submit.]n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Once more, even the dignified Dragons bent the knee.

Alexander nodded with a smile as two golden lines erupted from his chest- shooting out like fishing lines that went to sink into the bodies of the two Dragon Rulers!

The Support Ability Gem, Golden Ruler's Conqueror Support was put to use for the first time - two of its Six Slots being used at this time to bind the souls of conquered beings.

WUU!

The blood of the dragon lineage let out a final defiant roar as moments later, two more Dragons found themselves bound entirely by another.

They looked at the small human that now controlled their fates as he asked calmly.

[Names?]

The Earth Dragon was the first to answer in a brooding tone.

[Marcuso, Master. Of the Grand Lineage of Earth Dragons that can shake mountains and tumble the earth. I am proficient in the Covenant of Earth…]

He seemed to be propping himself up while he let go of the last bouts of defiance, his body becoming wrapped by a bronze light as he became a humanoid entity with a bronze horn on his forehead!

Beside him, the Purple Dragon seemed to emanate endless majesty as she raised her head while spreading her wings out.

[I am Emiliana- of the rare Royal Dragon Lineage as my roots trace back to the Royal Sky Dragon Luciana, who is a Disciple under the Royal Void Dragon Malthus! I burn with the Covenant of Nobility!]

…!

Everything paused.

Even though she was already bound by him, The Royal Land Dragon Emiliana let it be known how unique her personage was, and that she was connected to even more powerful beings!

She said this as a warning as when Alexander heard her words, his head turned sideways as he asked succinctly.

[If I were to order your very being to collapse through our bound connection right now, would your Royal Sky Dragon or their Royal Void Dragon be able to save you?]

…!

The Royal Dragon froze.

[I asked.]

And Alexander pressed on!

[If I were to kill you now, would your Royal Void Dragon be able to do anything?]

[...]

The head of a Royal Dragon bent down.

Her very Covenant seemed affected as her eyes burned with shame and defeat as she spoke sullenly.

[No…Master.]

[Then pipe the fuck down. The Covenant of Nobility and the Covenant of Earth, huh? How interesting are those?]

He seemed to be asking a rhetorical question.

Emiliana and Marcuso looked at each other as nobody would truly be able to express their Covenant unless one truly understood it.

But this question wasn't so much for them as it was for Alexander, another ridiculous Support Ability Gem being activated at this moment.

It was the Golden Ruler's Endless Greed Support!

||The understanding of the Covenant of Earth has been forcefully grasped from the Conquered Subject, Emiliana.||

||The understanding of the Covenant of Nobility has been forcefully grasped from the Conquered Subject, Marcuso.||

In a matter of seconds.

His body in the skies that was always bathed in gold light…instantly boomed with a bronze grandeur of Earth and a purple brilliance of Nobility!

His right hand coursed with the Covenant of Nobility as instantly, his whole being seemed that much more majestic, and the Covenant of Earth made his figure seem unbreakable and impenetrable!

He asked how the Covenants were, and he then displayed them right after.

[...!]

The Earth Dragon, Marcuso, stared in a stupor.

The Royal Dragon, Emiliana, had her jaws hanging open!

In the distance, a sidelined Polet only watched on with a dazed expression.

What the hell was this?!

They all wondered if what they were seeing was teal as the one all of their eyes were on only nodded with a happy smile.

It was because he saw the rate of Understanding and Assimilation of all Covenants of Nature had now risen to 1,000%!

How could he not be happy at such a sight?

Now, all he had to do was ponder of Covenants of Nature and let this ridiculous percentage do the work, and-....!

His expression rapidly changed.

And he instantly disappeared from where he floated as his figure bloomed from a small golden particle half a mile away!

The place in the skies he was just on…

CRACK!

Splintered and seemingly crumbled down like shattered glass, chaotic energies of the Covenant of Space instantly spreading out.

[You survived my Collapsed Space.]

…!

A booming voice traveled out from a far distance as it was filled with dominance and lethality.

[No Land Ruler has survived an instantly erupting Collapsed Space, and any Sky Ruler I have faced has been wounded by this initial attack. You…are a lucky little fucker, aren't you?]

A grandiose voice.

One that caused the bound Dragons under Alexander to feel a sense of oppression and fear.

They couldn't even be happy at its arrival as since they bent the knee to someone not of the Dragon Lineage, this being may just kill them in its rage!

BZZT!

The gray mist parted ways to reveal its massive body as Alexander stared with a heavy expression.

Silver scales.

A gigantic body towering over 100 meters!

A devilish draconic head and serpentine eyes pulsing with silver pupils.

It was none other than the Silver Ruler of Space!

He stared at Alexander with devilish eyes full of brutality, multiple other behemoth figures of Dragon Rulers beginning to appear behind him as his massive body pulsed with rings of silver light.

[How much blood of the Dragons have you now spilled? And why are these three fools just standing here and not battling you to the death, Little Human?]

Utter dominance blazed out with his words as his arrival here seemed to be the advent of death and massacre!
