At the very center of the runic lands, at the location of the Joelson Temple.

Two figures emitting terrifying power were standing in the air, coldly looking down at everything beneath their feet.

The runic deity statues forged by countless runic warriors had already collapsed to the ground. The ground was filled with ruins, as well as the corpses of the dead.

More than a dozen giant dragons were glaring at these two figures angrily, continuously letting out low roars at the two of them.

"I didn't expect that in order to avoid the danger of the ruins, they would hurriedly hide in the void crack, and actually teleport us here."

Among the two figures, the eyes of one of them, who had a relatively round face, lit up. He looked at the huge runes that twinkled like stars in the sky and then lowered his head to look at a pale green rune stone that was like a gemstone in his hand.

His voice was filled with delight as he said, "Melent, did you see that? The essence of the laws is everywhere. This place is simply a treasure trove!"

This person pointed at the roaring dragons below, exclaiming in amazement, "As for the dragons below, every single one of them is astonishingly talented. If we properly nurture them, they will at least reach the peak of the demigod level. Those three, in particular, are on the verge of breaking through to the demigod level. If we can capture all of them, we'll be rich!"

The other person revealed a smile as well. He nodded and said, "That's right. This is the favor the God of Fate has bestowed upon us. There are a few geniuses within the ruins who have already comprehended the arcane truths. We won't be able to gain anything from them. Instead, it's here."

This person stared at the various runes in the distance, his eyes filled with an extremely fiery gaze. In a low voice, he said, "I have a feeling that as long as I stay here for 20,000 years... No, 10,000 years will be enough. As long as I stay here for 10,000 years, I'll be able to advance to the god level!"

"Hahaha, that's right!"

The round-faced fatty began to laugh loudly and smugly.

"Roar!"

The dragon's roar interrupted the conversation between the two, and the two once more turned their gazes downwards, their eyes filled with ridicule.

"I wonder what god these ignorant natives worship. Even the deity statues haven't been established for long, and they don't have any divine power at all. Those few dragons, however, are quite loyal."

"Let's first capture these dragons, then slowly explore everything here."

"Alright!"

The two came to a consensus. The terrifying power of a demigod wantonly crashed down, causing the void to emit an unbearable sound.

The dragons below all had nervous looks on their faces, and their eyes were filled with vigilance. They growled in a low, restless voice, communicating in dragon language.

"I was just about to devour that crystal-grade wind-type rune. I didn't expect that a crack would suddenly appear in the sky. These two people suddenly appeared and snatched my runestone away. I'm so angry!"

Azure Wind shook his large head as he shook his body in frustration.

"If I can devour that runestone, I might be able to advance to the divine rank like my big brothers!"

Blue Frost spat out a mouthful of icy breath at it, growling, "Idiot, it's already so late, and you're still thinking about the runestone!"

"I must inform Father immediately!"

Curtis's eyes revealed a hint of solemnity and he said in a low voice, "These two are at least at the demigod level. Only Father can suppress them."

"Right! Quickly inform Father!"

"But Father isn't here."

"I can sense that Father is currently in battle!"

"Then what should we do? "

The dragons were discussing amongst themselves, appearing rather noisy.

"Roar!"

Suddenly, an enormous roar rang out by the ears of the dragons. The roar was filled with an explosive and overbearing aura, shocking the dragons into silence.

"Enough!"

It was Du Lu's voice.

"If we ask Father for help whenever we encounter anything, what use do we have? Everything that you have now is given by Father, and what have you done for Father?"

Du Lu's questioning gaze swept across every dragon. Platinum, Azure Wind, Blue Frost, all of them revealed ashamed expressions and lowered their huge heads.

That's right. From the moment they were born until now, almost all of them had lived under their father's protection. They had never helped their father much.

Conquering the land of runes was just a game to them. There was nothing here that could threaten their existence.

"Then what should we do?"

The earth elemental dragon Benedict could not help but ask.

Du Lu raised his head and looked coldly at the two people in the sky with terrifying momentum. He said in a low voice, "You two stay here well. Leave these two people to us."

As he said that, Du Lu turned his head to look at the steel dragon.

This companion who had fought with him and accompanied him since the time when he was still young and weak.

"Sid."

Du Lu called the steel dragon's name in a low voice.

"Roar!"

The steel dragon's dark golden pupils didn't waver in the slightest, and its expression didn't change at all. It let out a low roar in response to Du Lu.

"Roar!"

The berserk violet lightning shattered the void, and Lightning began to roar with rage and excitement.

"Tear these two demigods apart! Father can kill gods at the deity level. There's no reason for the three of us not to be able to defeat even two demigods!"

After speaking, the entire lightning dragon transformed into a wild violet bolt of lightning, suddenly leaping out towards the two in the sky.

"This fellow."

Du Lu didn't know what to say. He let out a bitter laugh.

And then, his gaze turned gloomy. The aura on his body exploded out at the same time like hundreds of active volcanoes, and his blazing aura continued to rise.

The steel dragon did the same.

One red and one dark gold. Two huge bodies rushed into the sky after the lightning.

"Hehe."

In the sky, the round-faced fatty revealed a mocking expression. He smiled and said, "These few dragons actually dare to take the initiative to attack. They're really courting death!"

Another person quickly said, "Don't be too heavy-handed. I already have my eyes on that metal dragon!"

"Got it. I prefer the lightning dragon, hehe."

An electric law rushed out from the round-faced fatty's body and transformed into the shape of a spear, sword, and arrow. It rained down on the three dragons like a storm.

"Roar!"

Lightning almost transformed into a purple lightning bolt. It moved nimbly in the lightning storm and dodged. Not a single attack could touch it. Its speed was too fast.

Du Lu and the steel dragon chose to take the attack head-on.

The red flames on Du Lu's body circulated, forming an extremely tough protective dragon shield. This was the first spell he had learned.

When the lightning attack landed on his body, it only left behind scorched marks. Even the protective dragon shield was unable to break through.

The steel dragon, on the other hand, was even more relaxed. The giant metal-type dragon was born with a powerful immunity to magic. When the lightning struck his body, it was as though it was tickling him again.

Although it was an attack at the demigod level, it could only cause slight pain. It wasn't able to cause any real damage at all.

Du Lu, the steel dragon, and the Lightning were all either dodging or resisting.

The round-faced Fatty's demigod attacks were completely ineffective.
