Khaos rubbed the back of his head with his claw after waking up inside a massive crater made by his egg.

It shattered into pieces on impact and released dense waves of silver ki energy.

Khaos stepped out with uncoordinated movements, his body covered in gray blood and a mucus-like substance. Then, he dug his obsidian claws into the ground and shook his body to dry himself.

The suns rays grazed his silver dragon scales as he looked up toward the sky before letting out an ear-splitting roar.

It alerted the Royal family, the Elders of Navalon, and the Wyvern and Dragonborn tribes, residents of the massive forest nearby.

Khaos leaned down, scooping up the remains of the shell in his claws, and tossed his massive head back to consume them entirely, using {Victim of Chaos} to drain the mythical egg of all its nutrients and energy.

{Leviathan]: 'Essence signature has increased by five billion.'

As Khaos stumbled back and forth, it was evident that he had not suffered any severe damage from the 30,000-meter descent.

However, every denizen of Navalon, who were once enjoying the dragon god festival, lay lifelessly around their new God.

Yet, Khaos didn't show any emotion. He only stood there, silently observing his surroundings, before sensing some essence signatures approaching.

"We'll have to use that skill you mentioned." Khaos used telepathy to communicate with Leviathan while comically shaking off the dizziness.

"Lord Khaos… boundless regeneration is a forbidden world skill. I won't be able to use it for at least another year. However, if that's what you desire, it will be done," said Leviathan, transferring golden orbs containing life essence from his soul dimension to Khaos's soul realm.

'I don't feel any sadness or guilt. No... I can't feel anything. Interesting." Khaos jumped vertically from a standstill and still reached 10 meters into the air before finally stretching out his massive wingspan of around 111 meters long to help him glide through the air.

The Royal Family and the six elders of Navalon shielded themselves inside a protective barrier made from seven elements but released it when the smoke and debris cleared.

As they braced for what they were about to see, they felt the energy of the three heirs of the Lightmourne Royal Family manifest simultaneously, and it soon became clear why that was.

Nova Lightmourne, the Princess of Navalon, stood frozen in her 40-meter-tall dragon form as tears fell from her blue eyes, her white body trembling in fear.

Princess Nova wasn't young or naive; she was quite the opposite. But considering she had never witnessed such a tragedy before, this reaction was expected, even for a predator race like dragons.

In front of her, Nova saw countless dragons sinking into the planet's embrace, their blood dying the barren wasteland crimson red. She also heard the final incoherent words belonging to dragon knights lying beside vulnerable dragons as if carrying out their responsibility to the end.

Nova wanted to save every dragon possible, but even if her family combined their energy, they still wouldn't have enough essence to heal the citizens of Navalon.

Nova and Nolan were the most affected, being the middle and youngest child, but even the eldest, Night, wore a ghastly expression.

King Novex, Queen Novelia, and the elder dragons of Navalon were finally trying to deal with the shocking events over the past few minutes. However, a massive shadow loomed over them before they were able to discuss it. It blocked out the sun, dropping the temperature significantly as an oppressive aura enveloped the entire continent.

The Royal family and the elder dragons initially tried to resist it, but they understood their circumstances.

For the first time, in a foreign land, with the entire population of Navalon killed in the blink of an eye, they had no choice but to submit.

'Listen, everyone,' The essence was familiar to King Novex and alerted the others using telepathy, an ability all dragons possess from birth.

"This presence... it's like before. That is our God. Do not show aggression or fear."

"Father... why is he the same size as you? Could his awakening be the cause of all this?" Nova asked, witnessing the natural disasters around her, still struggling to breathe under the suffocating essence of the atmosphere."

Unauthorized duplication: this tale has been taken without consent. Report sightings.

"I... would assume so," Novex replied.

"I know dragon gods are superior to mere dragons, but Novex has the blood of Lumiere running through his veins. Are we truly so inferior?" Novelia had a blank expression while her energy remained calm, showcasing her precise control over mana and chakra.

"W-Wow! God and I are adolescent dragons, but he's way bigger and stronger! And his silver scales are so cool!" Said Nolan, stars forming in his eyes as he peeked out from under his parent's wings, shielding him from their God's oppressive energy.

"Our lord's essence can extinguish Solblaze's gamma rays. However, even with chaos energy, it should be impossible to negate them entirely. It's wonderful... I finally found someone to spar against without having to hold back. Life may be worth living, after all." said Night, smirking madly while still struggling to lift his head under the immense pressure.

The surviving dragons of Navalon smiled with pride. Although the elders had lost their families and friends, they knew they still needed to uphold their title as the strongest dragons in the universe.

The elders followed the draconic customs as their ancestors did, whether they agreed with them or not. So they instinctively bowed down to the Dragon God candidate hovering above them without hatred or indifference.

This pleased Khaos. He had managed to secure their loyalty without fighting them, although he felt slightly disappointed since it could've helped him grow stronger. However, he assumed they may have schemes to test his power and authority in the future, and he certainly hoped so.

'Absolute Telepathy' picked up on their conversation, but Khaos chose to tune it out, as there was no need to pry into his subordinate's personal matters the first time they met.

"Dragon gods are truly beyond our understanding of energy and lineage potential. Can you believe this, Nautica?" (Aerion Stratos- Elder Dragon of The Wind Dragon Clan)

"No. Just a few months ago, we had hoped our lord's birth would never happen. We were born with the four natural elements, so I think we were afraid of what could happen if a dragon god was born with the power to surpass the laws of nature. However, we were wrong. We need his strength to survive, especially in our current circumstances." (Nautica Undine- Elder Dragon of The Water Dragon Clan)

"Mhm. His existence will alter the balance between the physical and spiritual dimensions. I wonder what the elemental spirits will think of our lord...' (Diamore Obsidius- Elder Dragon of The Earth Dragon Clan)

"Does it matter? He will stand above all lifeforms in existence. I alone will ensure his ascension to godhood." (Vekron Reaper- Elder Dragon of The Dark Dragon Clan)

"I'd expect no less of you, Vekron. You seem like you'd be loyal to a fault regarding our God. Even King Novex vowed to abdicate the throne if our lord happened to be born. ~Fufufu, if you two agree on something, I have no choice but to help him reach his true potential however I can." (Zara Kavina- Elder Dragon of The Poison Dragon Clan)

"His energy is overwhelming, but we must test his combat abilities. I'm sure there is still much we can teach him as masters of the natural elements. From what I've learned, all past dragon gods only possessed seven elements at most. Usually, they'd consist of four natural elements, two superior elements, and one supreme element." (Kaizen Ashfallen- Elder Dragon of The Fire Dragon Clan)

"You forgot to mention how long it would take to learn and master seven elements. Our lord will need to start training as soon as possible." (Nautica Undine- Elder Dragon of The Water Dragon Clan0

'I agree. The other candidates have likely recruited powerful subordinates of humans and demi-humans.' (Diamore Obsidius- Elder Dragon of The Earth Dragon Clan)

"No kidding... fortunately, the number of elements he's born with won't determine his growth. As for the other dragon god candidates, they have no other option but to take humans and demi-humans as followers, considering we would never come down here willingly, let alone serve them." (Zara Kavina- Elder Dragon of The Poison Dragon Clan)

'One thing's for certain. I know they can feel our lord's energy, too. His presence alone will cause many gruesome wars and divine miracles. We'd better thank the ancestors that we just happened to be at our peak to face this new era." (Aerion Stratos- Elder Dragon of The Wind Dragon Clan)

"A draconic civil war against the renegade dragons might have a chance of happening, huh? I guess it was inevitable. I just pray we can save as many as we have to kill.' (Novex Lightmourne- Elder of The Light Dragon Clan)

"A civil war?! Why? Our lord could save them!" Nova's aura of light shone brighter because of her awakened essence.

Night transformed into his 80-meter-tall dragon form and held back Nova, who was starting to agitate the elders.

'It's not that simple, Nova. Our God was born in the dragon continent. So, we all believe he will become the next dragon god. But other candidates have worshippers who feel the same about them. Keep that in mind before you act."

Nova trusted her elder brother, so she could only nod in defeat. "I understand. I won't cause trouble for our lord," she said.

Novex and the six elder dragons of Navalon's Royal Council released the entirety of their auras, which matched their element.

However, their element manifestation lacked killing intent.

They finally rose to their feet and stood beside each other with stoic expressions before roaring in unisonreating shockwaves as their auras combined and clashed against Khaos's essence.

The chaos element slowly negated their aspects of fire, water, earth, air, darkness, light, and poison.

Khaos knew this was their vow of fidelity.

Slowly, Khaos's essence vanished, leaving behind hundreds of chaos particles.

The Royal family and the Elder dragons were mesmerized, but thousands of golden orbs emerged from their God's body before they could process what they had seen.

"Be not afraid. I vow to make life prosperous again for all dragonkind. For I am Khaos, unbound from the will of reality... I am your God."

The frequency that came from their God's voice was so majestic that it vibrated their souls.

The Royal Family and the elders were entranced by his aura and couldn't help but be drawn in. His once oppressive essence somehow felt like pure bliss now, making a permanent impression on their consciousness.
