Reborn as a Devouring Dragon with a System-Chapter 122: After the System Upgrade

BOOM!

A deafening explosion tore through the battlefield. Nearly all were reduced to nothing—fewer than a hundred remained. But Drakion didn’t stop. Like a relentless tempest, he hunted the rest down and exterminated them without mercy.

Yet, as he lifted his gaze, the Heavens still watched.

The dark clouds had not dissipated. Their fury remained.

And that made him flare with rage.

CRACKLE! CRACKLE!

Drakion glared at the brooding skies above, his voice like molten fire.

"Fuck you, Heaven. If you wanna eliminate me, you’ll have to do more than that."

In that instant, his wrath ignited the Devouring Dragon Bloodline. His Draconic Aura surged, rising like a tidal storm.

The Heavens heard Drakion’s blasphemy—and their fury boiled over, ready to erase him completely...

Until they felt it.

That aura—that presence.

Something they would never forget.

Without wasting a second, the Heavens picked up their heels...

And ran for their dear celestial life.

Drakion, expecting a renewed storm of thunderous judgment, blinked in disbelief when the dark clouds... simply vanished.

Gone.

Not even the faintest trace of the Heavenly Dao remained in the air.

It confused him—utterly.

Ding!

[System upgrade successful ᕙ⁠(⁠ ͡⁠◉⁠ ͜⁠ ⁠ʖ⁠ ͡⁠◉⁠)⁠ᕗ]

Drakion raised a brow at the message, pleased at first—until he saw the emoji.

That face.

He had a bad feeling creeping up his spine.

Without hesitation, he vanished from the battlefield and appeared within the heart of the Dragon Palace.

Ding!

[Due to the upgrade of the system, some limits are removed]

Ding!

[Host has awakened: "Dragon Might"]

Ding!

[Host has awakened: "Dragon Instinct"]

Drakion’s eyes narrowed. He hadn’t even realized those abilities were locked away.

Ding!

["Dragon Might" and "Dragon Instinct" were sealed by the system to prevent Host from being discovered. Host should thank the system for this ᕙ⁠(⁠＠⁠°⁠▽⁠°⁠＠⁠)⁠ᕗ]

He frowned. The system sounded oddly emotional—almost smug.

"Why would I thank you?" Drakion snorted.

Ding!

[These abilities would have caused Host’s death. Host wouldn’t have been able to control them, ಠ⁠_⁠ಠ]

"Hmph. Practice makes perfection. I’m sure I could’ve handled it without your seal," he retorted, unwilling to let the system one-up him.

Ding!

[Ok. I wish Host luck in dealing with these abilities, (⁠≧⁠▽⁠≦⁠)]

Then—silence.

The system went quiet.

Too quiet.

Drakion grew wary. The system never backed down without a final jab. Shaking the unease from his mind, he turned to check his updated status.

As he looked through the endless stream of information, a thousand questions formed in Drakion’s mind.

Questions that needed answers.

And soon.

"Hmph, why do you need to put Straight? Of course, I am straight," Drakion snorted.

Ding!

[We can’t sayʘ‿ʘ. Since Host became a dragon from a human, your sexual preference may change (≧▽≦)]

"Nah, that’s never going to happen." Drakion shook his head, rejecting that evil thought.

"That aside, there’s a lot of questions I want to ask. First—the lifespan—what’s the meaning of the bracketed one?" Drakion asked.

Ding!

[The bracketed one is Host’s original lifespan. But after Host opened the Abyssal Devouring Eye, the system is happy to inform you that ten thousand years of your lifespan was absorbed (✷‿✷)]

"Jesus Christ, ten thousand years... for Heaven’s sake!" Sweat began to drip from Drakion’s body as he heard this. The eye had only opened five percent... if it opened fully—he wondered what would happen.

"No... that’s instant death!" Drakion cried out.

He turned to the system. "What’s happy about this?! Remove that damn emoticon, you... system!"

Ding!

[I feel your pain, Host. With great power comes great price (≧▽≦)]

"Who the hell told you that?!" Drakion shouted. "Whatever... but why the hell am I having a million lifespan?"

Ding!

[You are a dragon, of course. Host shouldn’t associate himself with humans ರ_ರ]

"Even as a dragon, this is too much! I’m just four years old! This is making me look like an old geezer!" Drakion cried out.

Ding!

[Host is too forgetful (눈‸눈). You are the Progenitor Dragon Heir. Progenitor Dragons have limitless lifespan, and for every Dragon Bloodline you awaken, you gain significant lifespan.]

When Drakion heard this, he was shocked. He never thought the Devouring Dragon Bloodline would have such an effect. Thinking over everything, he sighed.

Cultivation is truly wonderful... On Earth, apart from the Adamic Era until Jesus came, they were the only ones who enjoyed living beyond 200 years. Now, it’s rare to live past a hundred.

As he wandered in thought, something clicked in his mind.

"Wait... you said, for every Dragon Bloodline I gain, I gain significant lifespan?"

Ding!

[Yes.]

"How many dragon races exist?"

Ding!

[System can’t give a definite number of races as it depends on Host, but it ranges from 50 upward.]

Ding!

[And for every realm you cross, Host’s lifespan increases.]

"Wait... are you trying to make me immortal and unkillable?"

Ding! ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm

[You finally put your brain to use, Hostʘ‿ʘ]

When Drakion heard the words of the system, his wrath rose. "What do you mean?"

Ding!

[I meant nothing. I wonder where Host’s thoughts are going~]

"You..." Drakion was visibly frustrated. "Wait—what happened to you?" Drakion felt there were several changes in the system... It was starting to behave like a creature—with emotions.

Ding!

[Hmph! Don’t you know who I am? I am the System Progenitor! One who conquered universes and planets, ᕦ༼ຈل͜ຈ༽ᕤ]

Pfft!
