As the deep-sea giant’s fists got bigger and bigger right before my eyes, my brain crashed for three seconds. Then this life’s memories… oh wait, more like, this life’s memories combined with the past life’s memories replayed in my mind like a revolving lantern…
So this is the legendary flashback before death? I died too suddenly in my past life, so I didn’t get a chance to see it, this time… let’s take a good look at the first half of my life…
“Bam!” Along with that deafening sound, my body was crushed into the ground like an insect. The bones all over my body let out cracking sounds.
For some reason, even though I was hammered into the ground and should have become a pile of unspeakable mass already, the flashback continued playing.
From the day I started to gain recognition… to the day I did that thing and slowly rose to become the greatest ⓑⓔⓔⓟ—… until the day I was reborn as the dragon princess. It kept playing over and over again like a broken record. No matter how many times it was replayed, these were the only content.
However… viewing these flashbacks just once is already enough. Too much and one would get very disheartened… I beg you, just let me enter the cycle of reincarnation already! Even if I have to meet those two retarded goddesses again, it’s better than…
Thump!
The flashback suddenly stopped. Just when I thought I could finally enter the cycle of reincarnation, a jittery feeling suddenly rose in my heart.
How annoying!!
It was the same as that jittery feeling I had when I hatched from the egg, but it was a thousand times more intense compared to that time.
Thump-thump! Thump-thump!
That jittery feeling was followed by a constantly accelerated pulse. The quickened heartbeat resounded so very clearly in this dark, quiet environment.
“Ugh…” The blood was forcefully squeezed to every part of my body due to the quickened heartbeat. My body and limbs that were originally suffering in extreme pain began to move and easily shattered everything I touched into fragments.
I had nowhere to give vent to the jittery feeling in my heart. Due to the accumulation of that feeling, they soon became… WRATH!!!
One that’s powerful enough to cause my blood to boil!!
As my breathing became faster, I felt as though I could vaguely see that gold dragon again. He was sitting on the throne, and though he was clearly expressionless, I could see a hint of mockery in his eyes…
Mockery? Are you jeering at me? Making fun of me? Just because I let a mere deep-sea giant treat me like an insect?
A mere deep-sea giant…
A mere insect…
That’s right, of course, I deserve to be laughed at. I, the Chaos Dragon Artemis Niger Lilith, the supreme dragon princess, and yet I let a mere deep-sea giant…
Crack. But why?
Crack. It’s just a deep-sea giant?
Crack. An insect…
Crack. Insect…
Crack. It’s just an insect…
Cr- crack. Since that’s the case… then die…
As the rock and dirt weighing down on my body shattered, they scattered all over the place… light gradually filled my vision… then the astonished face of the deep-sea giant appeared in front of me…
“Surprise~”
——————Going back in time——————
“D- do you think she’s fine, my queen?” Fenice asked in concern as she saw the deep-sea giant hammering Lilith into the ground.
“There should be no problem, I believe in my daughter,” The Dragon Queen remained cool, but her tightly clenched fists told a different story.
“But…” Fenice still wanted to say something, but she was interrupted by a sudden booming sound.
“Boom!” With the deep-sea giant’s fist as the center, the frightening atmospheric pressure exploded like a gale and swept away all the dust and stones in the surrounding area.
Thump-thump! Thump-thump!
A clear pulse could be heard coming from underneath the giant’s fist. The gradual rise of the frightful aura was like the premonition of a slumbering beast awakening.
“Roar!” The smiling face of the deep-sea giant gradually froze. Fear was apparently in his eyes. Encouraging himself with a roar, he increased the power in his right hand to add to the downward pressure.
However, not only was his right arm unable to press downward for even an inch, it even began to tremble. That wasn’t because of fear. Rather, it was due to some power pushing his right back up.
The fear on the deep-sea giant’s face became even more apparent. He kept letting out a cry and tried to keep the existence under his fist down as is, but not only did that not help at all, it even made his fist tremble all the more. His fist was slowly but surely being pushed up.
Lilith’s petite body gradually became visible. With her legs slightly bent, she pushed against the deep-sea giant’s fist with one of her hands, while the other was in front of her body.
As she straightened her body, she slowly lifted her head. Her golden pupils burned as fiercely as the lava, and a domineering smile floated onto her cute face…
“Surprise~”
Then she clenched her right fist and raised it to the sky.
“It’s my turn now yo~ Big brother, make sure to receive it properly okay? Otherwise, you will die… hehe…”
