Reincarnated as a Red Dragon, Discipline Makes Me Stronger!

“As you can see, Mother Tiamat.”

“My life has been seriously threatened, and I have no way to overcome this difference in strength.”

“But I have not lost my will to fight!”

“For the continuation of the Red Dragon’s bloodline! For your eminence to forever resound throughout the world!”

…

The Battle of Existence must not be abused. This was something that Max was very clear about.

After all, it was a secret technique from ancient times. At the same time, it was also the fastest way to become a god.

In order to prevent it from being abused, the gods were very cautious about its usage.

The pre-requisite for activating it was that one side needed to be in a fatal threat. Only then, would they be allowed to activate the Battle of Existence.

Otherwise, if they used it casually, they would be disapproved by the gods and they would be punished.

At this moment, Max was forced into such a desperate situation[1].

“I, Max Agatha Hill Alexander!”

“I propose a Battle of Existence to my opponent!”

“I am willing to bet my life, wealth, talent, and even existence on a battle of past, present, and future!”

Following the end of Max’s declaration, the huge dragon claw, which was about to splat them like a bug, suddenly stopped and turned black and white.

The origin space was independent of the outside world, and everything in there seemed to be stationary.

The hunchbacked old man slowly looked at Max. A shocked expression flashed across his eyes.

The little dragon that had only been born not long ago was using a Battle of Existence against him!

This was a powerful forbidden technique that had been sealed by the gods due to it being abused in the ancient times.

‘Just who on earth is this little dragon to be capable of using this forbidden technique?’

However, the hunchbacked old man was not worried. After all, his strength was at the level of a genuine Immemorial Dragon.

Although he was a mixed-blood Dragonkin and possessed the blood of both humans and dragons, it was also because of this that he possessed the strengths of both races. It was for this reason that he had managed to ascend to the rank of Immemorial Dragon.

Although the little dragon before him was of an Ancient Dragon bloodline, its chances of becoming an Immemorial Dragon was 1 in 100. It would most likely never reach the same rank as him within its lifespan.

Moreover, the strength of the hunchback old man was beyond most Immemorial Dragons.

‘Could this Dragon Hatchling’s prime form be stronger than mine?’

‘Plus, this might not even be my prime.’

‘Once I’m done here and have received my reward by the higher-ups, it should not pose a problem for my strength to reach the limits of Immemorial Dragons.’

As long as he reached the limit of an Immemorial Dragon, it was not impossible for him to break through again in the next hundred years.

He was already an incomparably strong and was respected by tens of thousands of people. How could he be compared to a mere Dragon Hatchling?

If he were to truly meet his match against Max, it would be too embarrassing.

In the origin space, everything had turned black and white.

It was as if everything in this space was meaningless.

Max, who was already covered in injuries, and the hunchbacked old man appeared in the two corners of the space.

Behind them, there were countless balls of light floating.

They were the memories of future-past that they had, and would, encounter in the future.

The balls of light were accumulating, and in a blink of an eye, hundreds of them had gathered around the hunchbacked old man.

Moreover, their number was still increasing. Should things continue to proceed, it was likely that he would gain more than a thousand of the light orbs.

On the other hand, there were only a dozen or so light orbs floating around Max.

“I was offering you a highway to heaven, but you’ve chosen to reject me. Fine then, brat, suit yourself.”

The hunchbacked old man looked mockingly at Max in the distance. It was as if he was already certain that he would devour Max’s existence.

As long as he was able to emerge victorious in the Battle of Existence, he would be able to directly devour the other party.

The hunchbacked old man only knew about the Battle of Existence, but he did not know how to use it. Thus, he was excited to see how strong he would become once he absorbed Max’s existence.

With this thought in mind, greed flashed across the eyes of the hunchbacked old man.

Suddenly, the entire origin space trembled.

Countless densely packed cracks appeared in the space.

At the beginning, the cracks were only the size of spider silk. However, as time went on, they gradually reached the thickness of an arm.

The entire space was filled with these cracks.

“What’s going on!?”

The hunchbacked old man was shocked by this sudden change.

From what he had heard, the origin space was supposed to be a stable domain, but what he was experiencing at the moment felt as if the space itself was about to shatter.

‘What is happening?’

‘Should this space shatter, then this battle of life and death, which had yet to determine a victor, would devour the both of us and eliminate us from existence!’

Max was still calmly prostrating on the spot. He, who was already heavily injured, had no time nor energy to care about the changes in the space.

“Damn it, I can not die in this place!”

“Mother Tiamat, please bless me, who is of impure blood, so that I can immediately display my strongest strength!”

The hunchbacked old man snorted coldly and muttered something.

Immediately after, countless light orbs attached themselves to his body, and his body began to change.

His originally aged skin gradually became elastic.

His originally hunched back also straightened.

A moment ago, he was still a hunchbacked and weak old man, but now, he had become a strong and muscular.

Endless strength and mana coursed through is veins. If he felt like it, he could destroy an entire nation in a blink of an eye.

The various elemental spirits in the space seemed to have become his subordinates. With just a thought, he could instantly release the magic he wanted.

“Oh! Oh! Oh!”

“My power feels limitless!”

“Is this the limit of an Immemorial dragon? I feel that I can become even stronger!”

The hunchbacked old man laughed loudly. He looked at Max, who was still lying limply on the ground in the distance. A smile flashed across his eyes.

He was already confident in winning this Battle of Existence!

However, at this moment, the sky, which was already filled with cracks, suddenly split open.

A majestic beam of light descended from the sky and instantly obliterated the hunchbacked old man into nothingness.

It was an extremely terrifying display of strength, and no sound was emitted.

The last gaze of the hunchbacked old man before he died was filled with incomparable fear.

Only God knew what kind of existence he had seen from beyond the shattered sky!

Max had won!
