Chapter 913 The Leda Cosmic Dragon Clan
"Can you tell me why the dragons in this universe are facing this situation?"
Honghuang Leonidas retorted, "Saving the dragons of the Leda Universe isn't something that can be accomplished by simply saving a few powerful dragons."
"I don't know the full story about the reasons for the decline of the dragon race, but I think it must be related to me and my brothers and sisters. This story has to start with our biological mother dragon."
Knowing full well that the dragons were currently in a state of disrepute and had no value other than the ancient dragon power within them, Kallibor revealed everything she knew without reservation.
Of the five ancient dragons, the other four, apart from Kuremus, were created by Kuremus using his own dragon genes.
Therefore, Kuremus is theoretically the mother of the other four Elder Dragons, and the relationship between the four Elder Dragons is naturally that of brothers and sisters.
The dragon race in the Leda Universe is a powerful race capable of dominating the universe, far surpassing the status of the Karan dragon race and even the ancient dragon race in the Sailor Universe.
However, no race in the world can remain powerful forever. With the rise of other civilizations and forces, the prestige of the dragon race was gradually threatened.
Gale-force winds, sandstorms, giant waves, and raging flames—the drastically different environmental changes gradually brought the dragons to the brink of extinction. Their constant retreat and shrinking back plunged them into despair, and the dragon elders decided to gather here to discuss countermeasures.
Amidst the debate, Kuremus emerged from the darkness. She was one of the few intellectuals among the dragons, and also one of the few advocates of pacifism.
Recently, she has begun to focus on how the environment affects the survival of dragons. She points out that dragons actively integrate into these environments, otherwise they will be eliminated sooner or later.
However, many of his comrades chose to support launching a war or changing the environment, which clearly contradicted Kuremus's claims.
Simply put, the dragons in the Ryda Universe are the purest kind of dragons. They only possess pure dragon energy and are neither suited to nor willing to accept power of other attributes.
Just like the ancient dragon race to which Gertrude belonged, this strategy was extremely useful when, at the beginning, only the dragon race was the most powerful force.
However, with the changing environment, other elemental powers have gradually risen, and many powers have emerged that are no weaker than or even counter to the Dragon type.
This closed-door policy is tantamount to shutting the country out of its borders, and the decline of the dragon race is almost a foregone conclusion.
Only those who adapt survive, like the Karan dragons, and are willing to accept the power of other attributes to create variants such as fire dragons, earth dragons, or thunder dragons, can remain powerful.
After all, the Dragon type's resistances are rather weak. The reason why Pokémon were strong at the beginning of the game was simply because of their high base stats and their resistances to the basic Water, Fire, and Grass types.
As time progressed, many Pokémon with high base stats appeared in other attributes, and many new attributes also emerged, naturally diminishing the power of the Dragon race.
Unfortunately, the other dragon elves failed to realize this. Not only were they unwilling to accept external power, but they also believed that the best strategy to break the deadlock was to wage war because their living environment was constantly shrinking.
Even though Kuremus noticed this and offered his opinion, they didn't take it seriously and instead continued to suppress it.
Kuremus realized that only the truth could convince her companions.
So she extracted her own dragon genes and began to study them, creating powerful dragons with other attributes.
When the dragon race witnesses the existence of a dragon spirit that has fused with the power of other attributes, they will realize that she is the only truth.
After days and nights of experimentation, Kuremus was exhausted, but success was just one step away.
At this crucial moment, Kuremus chose to take a nap, waiting for the experiment to end.
But to her utter surprise, the other dragons already knew about her supposedly secret experiment and took advantage of her exhaustion and sleep to sneak into the laboratory and sabotage it.
When she woke up, the result was not what she had imagined—the instrument had been forcibly shut down, and the experimental subjects inside the instrument had been contaminated.
In her panic, she caught a glimpse of a departing figure dropping a vial of poison—a potion that could drive dragons into a frenzy and could only be bought on the black market.
Before he could react, the machine's alarm pulled Kuremus back to reality.
The four experimental subjects, also known as the four ancient dragons, shattered the glass of the experimental chamber. Roaring, they broke free of their restraints and flew outwards, heading towards four different star systems…
Kuremus was unable to stop it from happening. She realized that she had been tricked. It seemed that the other dragons hoped to use the four test subjects to wreak havoc on the star system, and the dragons would launch an attack in the process. This was the last thing Kuremus wanted to see.
Kuremus dragged his weary body back to the laboratory, and after tidying up some equipment and medicines, he went alone to the direction in which the experimental subject had disappeared.
Just as Kuremus had foreseen, these experimental subjects had begun attacking the inhabitants of the galaxy. Kuremus's eyes filled with tears; the fate of the experimental subjects should not have been this way, and the relationship between the dragons and other civilizations should not have been this way either.
In an effort to salvage the current situation, Kuremus made a decision—to transfer the fel energy from the test subject to himself.
“You are free, Caleriplat.” Kuremus left the Charlie system and continued in the next direction…
This was Kaleriplat's first and last time meeting Daenerys Targaryen.
Although Kaleriplat had lost her fel energy, her image as a malevolent dragon, who wreaked havoc during that period, had left an indelible mark on the hearts of the elves of the Charlie Galaxy.
Elves who were persecuted during Kallibor's out-of-control period, or some elves who followed suit, continued to attack Kallibor.
Kallibor was kind-hearted and unwilling to harm these elves to confirm her identity as an evil dragon, so she could only live alone in seclusion on Rainbow Mountain. Unexpectedly, many elves continued to perpetuate her evil dragon reputation.
Kuremus never stopped moving forward. She flew to several other star systems, absorbing the fel energy from the other three ancient dragons into her own body.
Kuremus alone bore the brunt of the fel energy from the four ancient dragons, and under the influence of this immense fel energy, Kuremus became completely different from before.
Her eyes were red, and she exuded an evil aura. The powerful evil energy within her body constantly assaulted her last shred of sanity, and even her attribute changed to that of an evil dragon.
Under these circumstances, Kuremus mustered his last shred of sanity and chose to return to his homeland, hoping to receive help from the dragon elders.
