Golden Dragon: Six Thousand Years of Empire-Chapter 911 503: God-Eating Dragon, Shut Up!

A dense aura of blood wafted through the air, surging like a breached Blood Sea. At the exact moment Noah's words fell, a slender and graceful figure appeared in the Void, with fiery red hair and golden armor, manifesting the Blood Sea across the sky by her presence.
This was a Goddess, but on her, there was not a trace of feminine grace. Upon seeing her, it was as if seeing a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, with endless murderous energy emanating from her body.
Clearly resembling a mortal in every aspect, she had no towering figure nor a fierce appearance, yet when she appeared, the Void seemed filled to the brim, leaving no gaps. She was like some indescribable terrifying existence that sent chills down one's spine at first glance.
Blood Origin War God, Mariana
"..."
Noah stood silent for a fleeting moment before, as the female War God approached him with sword in hand, the manifested Sun began to collapse inwardly. Eventually, out of it stepped a Dragon-man crowned with a dragon crown and clad in armor.
Physical size and life form held little significance at the level of the Divine and Epic, and Noah had no doubt that the sword in the hand of the female War God in front of him was powerful enough to cut down stars. As for whether it could extinguish the Sun he transformed into, Noah had no intention of verifying that.
"Step aside!"
Faced with Noah blocking her way, the female War God, arriving with a sky full of crimson, uttered two cold words from beneath the flying phoenix-winged helmet, visible only with red lips, as cold as a storm blowing from a polar region, bone-chilling in its frigidness.
"I'm afraid that's not possible!"
Noah admired the distinctive beauty of the Goddess in front of him, shaking his head lightly. Simultaneously, behind him, one after another, Root Armaments, transformed from True Divine Artifacts, appeared, vibrating through the Void before settling onto him.
The Eternal Damnation Crown, Undying Furnace, Void Wings, Universal Gauntlets, Truth Ring... As each piece of Root Armament settled onto Noah, his originally weakest presence in the entire field began to soar wildly.
The boost from the Mother Realm also materialized on Noah. Although his Mother Realm was merely a medium-sized world, unable to compare with such Great Worlds as Heaven, it could pour out all its power for him, something the Heaven could never fully do for any single being.
"You are not my match."
The female War God's voice was extremely calm, as though stating an indisputable fact. Noah did not deny it, for he had heard of the origins of this female War God.
This Goddess had risen from the ruins of a broken land. Although divine blood flowed through her veins, in that desolate land, such blood only allowed her to survive.
No one expected that she would fight her way out of that forsaken place, through unknown hardships, eventually ascending to Divine Position and becoming the powerful Divine Power now standing before Noah.
She wasn't a pure War God. Noah could sense that she also mastered Divine Position Laws akin to destruction, doom, and crimson. Yet this was precisely why her combat power was terrifyingly strong, as she was a God specifically in charge of slaughter and battle.
"That might not be certain!"
Noah also drew a Giant Blade. Using True Divine Artifacts as a basis, transformed by the will of the Mother Realm into a Root Armament—if anything, Noah now had an abundance of Root Armaments, to the point of having more than he could use.
Clang—
Standing firmly against Noah, who showed no signs of backing down, Blood Origin War God Mariana said no more. She raised the massive blade, nearly equal in height to her body, and swung it down upon Noah's head.
The sky full of crimson frenziedly rushed into the sword edge in the hand of this female War God. As the sword blade fell, it instantly transformed into a blood-colored sword light, as if trying to rend the Void apart.
Noah did not counter with his sword but instead raised his wrist, enveloped by gauntlets resembling Dragon Scales, and struck against the blood-red sword light.
In one blow, the sword light shattered like meteors falling in reverse. Infinite blood-red Sword Qi surged through the Void, and Noah, who blocked this sword using Divine Artifact Power, glanced down.
He saw a sword scar virtually cutting through the gauntlet, even though it was sturdier than his original Dragon Scales. However, the self-healing ability of the Root Divine Artifact showed itself at that moment, erasing the rule power lingering from the sword light; the sword scar was gradually disappearing.
Yet, it was only a glance, as Noah had already appeared behind the Valkyrie. His sword's blade swept across, seemingly intending to sever her slender and pale neck.
Clang—
The clashing of two swords erupted as blood energy and golden flames exploded simultaneously. From within the agile body of the female War God emanated seemingly infinite power. For the first time, Noah felt underpowered in a direct confrontation.
"Just relying on this portion of your True Body and a pile of junk, you wish to contend with me? Noah, you are more arrogant than the rumors say."
Even though she suppressed Noah effortlessly during their short combat encounter, Mariana felt no joy. Instead, she showed an expression of displeasure.
Because she realized the strangeness of this Dragon King before her. The opponent was only employing a negligible part of his True Body to fight her. What pride could be derived from defeating such an opponent?
"I never intended to contend with a War God like you. If not for an old fellow's invitation, I would never have appeared here."
