“Why has it come to this?” Regnayu suddenly spoke.
“Although the fundamental stance won't consume the energy of both of you, it harms the essence. Even for us peak realm beings, it will lead to a period of weakness after some time.”
“In the current cosmic situation, weakness represents danger, even life-threatening danger.”
“Is it worth it for an outsider?”
This peak expert of the Dwarf Race looked at the two peak giant dragons who were adopting a desperate stance.
Olaewo in front remained defensive, glancing occasionally at the two giant dragons as if waiting for a response.
Qing Mo still maintained his aloof demeanor, showing no indication, with only the light on his Dragon Claw shimmering and spreading towards his massive body.
Chao Yang chuckled lightly: “For us, you are also outsiders.”
“But we are more powerful outsiders.” The floating square ball quietly hovered beside Regnayu, regaining its previous calmness.
“This universe is fundamentally about power. Many things, such as contracts, promises, exchanges, etc., are all flimsy in the face of strength. I don’t know the relationship between you and the people in this manor, but to me, it’s just a slightly deeper contract.”
“In our Tarros Red Dwarf Race, research on such contracts has reached an extremely high level, making forced dissolution possible. Of course, there will be some side effects, but for beings at our level, it’s negligible.”
“And once you have no ties with this place, then we Tarros Red Dwarfs would clearly be a better partner for cooperation.”
“Yes, cooperation, without the need to sign any contracts.”
“Each takes what they need, equal and free.”
Regnayu spoke with confidence, for the Tarros Red Dwarfs indeed had the qualification to say such things.
The essence of life in the universe, to many races, is merely about the plunder or exchange of benefits. What Regnayu spoke of now was the latter, the exchange of interests.
Anyone would feel that the two peak giant dragons would undoubtedly gain more from the Dwarfs than from Cloud Summit Manor.
“All these years, you haven’t treated the Rebel Dragon Race this way!” Chao Yang's tone was equally calm, but the resentment within it was unmistakable.
For many years, the Rebel Dragon Race had been playthings and slaves to the various races of the universe. The trade of Rebel Dragon battle beasts had a history as long as many races, and among the ones in the Colorful Cloud Fragment Star Belt, whose family hadn’t had a relative captured?
Thus, the Rebel Dragon Race held a profound distrust of the All Races of the Universe.
As for Ye Zhongming, it was a matter of chance combined with having goods; otherwise, the Rebel Dragon Race would not trust him either.
Regnayu could not deny this, and if the two peak giant dragons truly agreed to him, he would need to inform his clan to clean up some of the Rebel Dragons in their midst. Otherwise, if these two saw the fate of their kin, they might turn hostile.
“Everything can change,” Regnayu said.
At this point, both sides fell into a brief silence. Even though Chao Yang's attacks continued, various water element assaults flew about in the fundamental stance, the atmosphere felt… quiet.
“Ha…” Chao Yang suddenly chuckled, “After saying so much, it’s merely to buy time for your attacks.”
Regnayu laughed as well, “Aren’t you doing the same?”
Before the words had even faded, both sides moved.
Olaewo, who had previously shown no action, suddenly illuminated the Rift Abyss Axe in his hand, and two intersecting cross slashes shot out.
This ability appeared extremely quickly, its speed was tremendous, and in the blink of an eye, it reached the two peak giant dragons, nearly covering their field of vision.
Regnayu also moved. The floating square ball shone brightly, and a massive phantom beast appeared in the air, opening its Blood Basin Mouth in an exaggerated manner, engulfing the opponent with a tremendous force.
In Divine Artisan City, Heiting Yanting watched everything happening on the light barrier, mumbling to himself.
