South of Australia, Mount Warning…
As night fell, the ocean took on a mysterious allure. A bright Moon hung high in the sky, casting a silvery glow over the sea, replacing the noble golden shimmer of the Sun with elegant and playful silver-grey, jumping and dancing across the waves.
*Splash, splash…* Apart from the occasional crashing of waves, everything was serene. However, suddenly…
*Hiss, hiss…* Sudden shrill hisses, like coming from ancient times, echoed from the depths of the sea.
“It’s coming…” Murmuring to himself, a several-meter-tall White Tiger — majestic and powerful, with sleek lines and fluttering white fur — slowly stood up on the peak of Mount Warning.
*Booooom…* A pair of wings, resembling Dragon Wings, unfurled fiercely, sending waves after waves of ripples across the sea.
This was the rhythm of a storm, the might of a Natural Disaster.
At this moment, if one looked towards the sea, they would definitely see ripples spreading thousands of meters away.
“Let me see how much you’ve grown…” A smug smile appeared on White Tiger’s face, feeling a sense of pride.
As the Third Great Beast, he was a true Elder figure in Misty Mountains. Young creatures like Slytherin were merely Juniors in his eyes.
Now, having broken through to Tier-4, felt that it was a rare chance to show off.
Yet, in a sudden twist, White Tiger’s expression changed, simply because he sensed an ominous, cold, and terrifying aura approaching. The presence sent shivers down his spine, making him feel like prey before a predator.
“This aura…?” Muttering in doubt, a puzzled look appeared on White Tiger’s face, not because of the terrifying presence, but because he found the presence familiar.
Suddenly, White Tiger’s corners of eyes twitched as a realization dawned upon him.
“It can’t be…” As soon as his words fell, the sea surface shook violently.
Immediately after, a massive shadow covering hundreds of square meters rose from the water, bringing a peculiar expression on White Tiger’s face.
“Third Brother…” A voice, both excited and joyful, filled the air, accompanied by a strong, pungent smell.
“Damn…” With a startled exclamation, White Tiger watched in disbelief as not one, not two, but eight large, bluish-green Dragon Heads approached.
Staring into those eight pairs of crimson eyes, resembling red lanterns, White Tiger felt his body stiffen as a chilling fear crept over him. Even his pupils dilated in shock.
This was the terror of Slytherin’s Unique Ability, the Fear Stare. Even an inadvertent look would instill fear, let alone a simultaneous stare from eight pairs of eyes.
White Tiger was frozen, the hair of his fur stood on their root ends, and large drops of sweat appeared on his face.
…
After some unknown time of deathly silence, a voice, tinged with resentment, broke the stillness, “Do you know, you nearly scared me to death. I swear, if you weren’t my Junior, I’d have pinned you down and beaten you.”
Amidst the grumbling, White Tiger glanced repeatedly at the enormous body of Slytherin.
[Good Heavens, he is comparable to Titan and Tundra!] What baffled White Tiger even more was that this Junior, Slytherin, had also reached Tier-4.
Shocked, White Tiger decisively turned around and headed towards the desert. [Damn, what a loss of face!!]
Originally intending to impress his Junior, White Tiger had not anticipated that Slytherin’s arrival would frighten him so much that he would break out in a sweat.
[This won’t do, it’s time to slip away!] Swiftly heading towards the direction of the desert, White Tiger set the pace.
Not far away, watching White Tiger quickly depart, Slytherin was somewhat puzzled. However, hesitation was not his nature. His Spiritual Energy surged as his entire body started slithering like a Snake, smoothly gliding across the continent.
Along the way…
*Boooom, boooom, boooom…* Like a bulldozer, chaos was left in his wake, surpassing the ferocity of even rampaging Beasts.
Even White Tiger could not help but look away, his eyes twitching uncontrollably. Just from the sheer momentum of Slytherin’s travel made White Tiger feel inferior.
[It seems another monstrosity has appeared…]
*Rooooaar…* Accompanied by a long roar, a white streak of light descended from the sky.
Seeing this…
*Rooooaar, rooooaar…*
*Screech, screech…*
…
Amidst the successive roars and howls, Mutant Beasts such as Nine Tails and Bull Demon, returned one after another.
Their return was naturally followed by a round of greetings.
However, one noteworthy point was that Slytherin’s breakthrough to Tier-4 had indeed stimulated many Mutant Beasts.
The core of Misty Mountain like Bull Demon and Thorns, after brief greetings, promptly returned to the depths of Space Pockets.
Shortly after, Yu Zi Yu sensed vast spiritual fluctuations across several spaces within the Nine Realms of Heaven.
“These fellows are making themselves at home in my space…” Breathing a sigh, a smile could not help but appear on Yu Zi Yu’s face.
[As I expected, Slytherin’s breakthrough is quite the catalyst! It’s for the best. This will prevent the Mutant Beasts from becoming lazy.]
After exchanging greetings with Slytherin, Yu Zi Yu arranged for him to be in the Pocket of Vitality.
As of now, the best place for Slytherin in Misty Mountains was as a Sentinel.
Spreading despair, instilling fear, and thus continually growing…This was the correct way for Slytherin to evolve. Of course, there was not any concern about Slytherin’s safety.
Although the Sentinels were Yu Zi Yu’s main force for conquering the starry sky, Yu Zi Yu also cherished them and won’t discard them.
However, just then, as if realizing something, Yu Zi Yu also summoned Dream Beast.
“Master…” Greeting softly, a sleek and agile black body, reminiscent of a noble horse, with a singular black horn on his forehead, walked slowly.
Dream Beast was the leader among Yu Zi Yu’s 108 Generals capable of entering dreams, wandering between the border of dream and reality.
In terms of strangeness, Dream Beast definitely ranked high in Misty Mountains.
However, Yu Zi Yu had never had a good arrangement for Dream Beast. The reason being, Yu Zi Yu could not find a suitable role for Dream Beast.
However, now, he had found one.
With this in mind, Yu Zi Yu glanced at the nearby Dream Beast, who was bowing respectfully, and stated, “From now on, you will partner with Slytherin…”
Saying this, Yu Zi Yu briefly explained Slytherin’s abilities to him.
“In other words, Master wants me to weave nightmares for Slytherin to absorb. If those are your wishes, I’ll do my best to fulfill them.”
Nodding slightly, Yu Zi Yu added, “With Slytherin’s current strength, it’s enough to ensure your safety. You two, one light and one dark, can become the perfect partners.”
“Indeed.” After a moment of contemplation, Dream Beast also came to the same realization.
Soon after, following Yu Zi Yu’s arrangement, he headed towards the Pocket of Vitality.
*Thud, thud, thud…* Galloping in the air, flickering between dream and reality, Dream Beast quietly disappeared before the eyes of the Mutant Beasts.
