Chapter 899 - The Fall of the Dragon Race I
Noah looked at the shocking scenes around them with calm eyes as his hand tightly grasped the shoulder of Tiamat, their feet touching the earth of one of the celestial bodies of the Animus Universe for the first time.
They were within the Planet of Consanguinity where all the 9 Supreme Bloodlines congregated, one of the important locations within the Animus Universe that wasn't under the control of a single Supreme Bloodline!
Tiamat had chosen to come here first and not in the Draconic Holy Lands where she ruled before and was assassinated in for the purpose of first gathering information.
She had to know the state of the Dragon Race, and understand what had occurred in the last tens of thousands of years.
For this, they descended onto one of the many mountainous valleys of a location millions of miles long called Stardew Valleys that should have been under the control of Dragons!
What she found...caused her heart to nearly explode in shame and wrath as it was the scene of majestic Dragons...being treated as if they weren't the peak Bloodline of the Animus Universe!
Nine-tailed Phoenixes killed Dragons in plain sight for a meal, and the magisterial Dragons were used throughout the city as mounts that pulled carriages or to cross the skies.
It was as if the dragon race was purposefully being bullied and shamed as when Noah used his eyes to cover the sights of the city nearest to them, he discovered it was only those of the Dragon Race receiving such treatment.
"This…!"
Tiamat's aura had nearly begun to explode out as Noah's hand on her shoulder tightened, sending a command to this Queen Dowager to calm down!
He walked with her into the city as the many unfolding scenes around them became even clearer.
It was a bustle of activities all around, Noah seeing many unique creatures and beings in human forms wandering about.
Some of the 9 Supreme Bloodlines liked to keep their animalistic forms throughout, others took on the humanoid form as they moved across the City with ease and laughter!
The scenes of Dragons being abused throughout seemed like the norm as nobody paid attention to it, Noah and Tiamat only being able to see fear and shame when they looked into the eyes of the Dragons moving around the nearest areas they could observe without spreading their auras out wildly.
The dragon in human form had tears welling up in her eyes as she looked at the huge body of the dragon dissected not too far from her, but her head only turned away as she continued her task!
Noah saw the girl had only Low Tier GALAXY Realm power flowing within her, sending a message to Tiamat as his essence silently flew out.
The essence of the fully assimilated Dao of Voidspace silently flashed once as the figure of the sweeping dragon girl disappeared silently, along with the figures of Noah and Tiamat!
Before they went even further into the city and saw what was happening within it, Noah wanted to collect information on the state of everything around them.
The three of them disappeared from the majestic city as Noah utilized the [Pocket Universe] to send them into this isolated space!
"Who…?!"
The dragon girl was fearful as her voice shakily came out, her body pulsing with the aura of a being in the Low Tier GALAXY Realm as her pulsing body threatened to transform.
"Who?! Who?!"
RUMBLE!
Tiamat's face was filled with wrath as she appeared in front of the Dragon Girl with her aura wildly exploding out!
"This…!"
The dragon girl was shocked as she felt a dominating presence that called for her to kneel, and she could not actually resist as she fell to her knees while looking up towards Tiamat in shock.
"What has happened to my Bloodline?! What has happened to the dragon race in just a few tens of thousands of years?!"
With a face filled with shame and pain from seeing her Bloodline treated as lower than Slaves, Tiamat looked for answers from the dragon girl they had snatched before them!
"An ancestor of our race…"
The girl looked towards them in a stupor for a few more seconds before she came to, sensing the dominating Bloodline strength of Tiamat that seemed much purer than hers as she mistook her for one of the hiding ancestors of Dragons!
Her face became tearful as she choked her words out.
"Ancestor...where have you and the others gone to? Why have you left us alone and defenseless?! You ask what happened to the dragon race? You abandoned us!"
RUMBLE!
Tiamat's body shook from the words as her domineering body nearly fell back, Noah coming forward with his eyes shining out red beams of light.
"Treat us if we just woke up and know nothing of what happened in the last tens of thousands of years. What has happened with the Dragon Race in the Animus Universe?"
The dragon girl came to as she became aware of of Noah's aura at the Galactic Filament Realm, finally coming to as she began to weave out a story.
It was the story of the majestic Bloodline of Dragons...of how they had fallen from their high pedestals into where they were now!
"Since the Progenitor perished…"
After the shocking ambush that Tiamat had faced from the collision of multiple Races of the 9 Supreme Bloodlines, new Rulers that stood at the top of the food chain in the Animus Universe were crowned!
The Lands of Dragons were taken over, the once majestic race that gradually lost its strongest protectors falling to the bottom of the ranks of creatures within the Animus Universe.
Even the Race of the Golden Cyclops that was ranked at the bottom of the Supreme Bloodlines...received better treatment than Dragons for the thousands of years that followed the fall of the Queen Dowager!
"The powerful Ancestors either bent their knees to the Nine-Tailed Fox Race or Qilin Race, with some disappearing as they merely hid in the shadows…!"
"We have no experts to protect us, nobody to stand or defend us as we are treated like the lowest class of beings in our own lands! The Nine-Tailed Fox Race has a penchant for Dragon Meat, so they slaughter hundreds of Dragons daily just within this mountain to satiate their thirst!"
"I see your aura at the stage of Galactic Filament with your Bloodline power matching that of the Ancestors...where were you this whole time?! To stand before me like someone important, to look at me who is only in the Low Tier GALAXY Realm and dare ask me of the state of the Dragon Race…"
"...where were you this entire time?! While we were butchered and played around with? While the queens of our race became lower class citizens that the ugly Races sullied?! Where were you, oh great ancestor of the Dragon Race?!"
RUMBLE!
Shame filled Tiamat's face as she couldn't answer the Dragon girl's cries, her figure sinking back as she found out her Bloodline...had gone through a great deal of pain in the last tens of thousands of years!
