"Descend, Dark Fertility Goddess, Black Goat of the Woods with a Thousand Young, Shub-Niggurath!"
"Descend, Gate and Key, Unifier of All, Creator of a Thousand Realms, Master of Time and Space, Yog-Sothoth!"
Accompanied by Nyarlathotep's frenzied roar, a continuous stream of chaotic energy gushed from the Chaos Gate formed by its serpent-like tail, while two auras, equally powerful as Nyarlathotep, belonging to top-tier entities of pseudo-divinity level twenty, surged out. The entire Dead Mountain Range trembled, endless volcanoes collapsed, and the space became tainted with unimaginable madness and whispers.
Whoosh!
A foul, flesh-like mist emerged from the Chaos Gate formed by the serpent.
Under the watchful, wary gaze of the silver dragon, this mist twisted and rolled, forming a grotesque mass of flesh.
The rotting flesh churned like it was alive, sprouting countless tendrils of varying lengths and thicknesses, resembling a twisted forest of flesh. Each tendril was covered in pus and mucus with numerous cracks. Bone-like horns protruded from the flesh mass, covered in sinister blood vessels and blue veins. Hooves, resembling those of a goat, also jutted out at random.
One of the Old Three Pillar Gods, the Black Goat of the Woods.
It possessed unimaginable reproductive capabilities and extreme regenerative abilities, having birthed many gods in the Old Multiverse.
Compared to the Mother of Gods of the Olympus Multiverse, the Black Goat of the Woods also had considerable combat strength.
After the Black Goat of the Woods appeared, the Chaos Gate changed again.
Silently, a bright sphere appeared, emerging in the Great Ring Multiverse. But this was just the beginning. More glowing spheres of various sizes appeared, eventually forming a mass of constantly changing, expanding, contracting, and pulsating luminous spheres.
One of the Old Three Pillar Gods and the foremost among them, the Unifier of All, Master of Time and Space, Yog-Sothoth!
When the Unifier of All appeared before the Eternal Dragon of Time, the silver dragon's eyes narrowed, his platinum pupils reflecting the overlapping infinite bubbles that formed the Unifier of All.
From this Old Pillar God, Garon sensed the power of time.
And it was quite formidable.
Each luminous sphere comprising Yog-Sothoth seemed to be a complete time-space. Every second, spheres shattered and new ones were born. Time and space were a continuous whole in Yog-Sothoth, not to be underestimated.
The silver dragon licked his tongue, eyes fixed on the Unifier of All, a long-lost battle intent rising within him.
Simultaneously, the luminous spheres of Yog-Sothoth pulsated as if scrutinizing Garon, conveying a mental message.
"You seem to wield power similar to mine."
It said.
The silver dragon grinned, eyes shining, "Similar, but surpassing your power of time."
Mastery over time and space was also Garon's forte.
The Unifier of All primarily wielded these abilities. Garon discerned its essence as a continuous entity formed by many individual time-space branches, a time-space being.
With similar abilities, the stronger one would prevail.
In this regard, Garon feared no one.
The Unifier of All emitted a calm yet regretful mental wave.
"Is that so? It's rare to encounter a being like myself, like you."
"Unfortunately, you are about to die. You can't contend with the three of us, and you have no chance to escape. Or maybe I can seal you within my time-space, making you a part of me."
The Unifier of All declared.
Simultaneously, Nyarlathotep, having been thrashed by Garon, returned to its initial grotesque form with tentacles, assuming a slow, commanding posture, gazing at the silver dragon.
Its mental wave transformed into an elegant voice.
"Dragon of Eternity and Time, Garon Aurelian."
"I acknowledge your strength. Among the many beings I've encountered of our level, you rank at the top."
"But battles between multiverses aren't just about individual power. You are strong, but you can't defeat all three of us."
"Submit to the Old Ones. Let us shackle you, and I can ensure you survive."
Elegant and calm, because the outcome seemed decided.
No matter how strong the opponent, they couldn't triumph over the Three Pillar Gods.
After Nyarlathotep finished, its tentacles swayed, delighting in watching the silver dragon, hoping to see fear, anxiety, and ideally, despair. These were Nyarlathotep's favorite expressions, but Garon was about to disappoint this Outer God.
Under the gaze of the three top-tier Outer Gods, the silver dragon's solemn expression vanished.
He couldn't help but let the corners of his mouth curl into a big, sunny smile, one that Nyarlathotep found detestable.
"What are you smiling at?"
Nyarlathotep asked sharply.
Instead of answering directly, Garon responded with a counter-question.
"I admit you three are strong. I can't defeat you alone."
"But what if, I mean just what if."
"What if the top existences in the Great Ring Multiverse were more than just me, and even more than you three, all hiding, waiting for you to enter so we could annihilate your top combat forces from the Old Multiverse in one fell swoop?"
"What would you do then?"
Hearing the familiar question, Nyarlathotep's body stiffened.
A sense of foreboding arose.
Simultaneously, the Unifier of All and the Black Goat of the Woods looked at their companion, "Nyarlathotep, didn't you confirm that this multiverse only has one top existence?"
"Yes, I did analyze this multiverse's information thoroughly, and there was only him. But perhaps I was deceived."
Nyarlathotep responded gravely.
"Correct, I'm not speaking hypothetically."
The silver dragon grinned.
"Leave the Great Ring Multiverse now!"
The Unifier of All decided swiftly.
Billions of luminous spheres spread out, enveloping Nyarlathotep and the Black Goat of the Woods. The infinite time-spaces moved to anchor the Old Multiverse's coordinates for a retreat.
However.
The silver dragon spread his wings, roaring, "You think the Great Ring is a place you can come and go as you please?"
"You will have no return!"
Rumble! The river of time surged violently, like boiling water, churning and disrupting the flow of time, making it impossible to discern or stabilize.
At the same time.
Buzz!
A bright star rose, illuminating the dead void.
This was just the beginning. More stars rose, one after another, in quick succession. In an instant, countless stars hung in the dark, cold void of the Dead Mountain Range, forming a brilliant galaxy. The entire Scorched Hell layer was filled with a dazzling Milky Way, and endless stars revolved around the three Old Gods, casting radiant light.
In an instant.
The three Old Gods' vision blurred.
The world turned upside down, revealing a new universe with endless floating stars, an infinite galaxy.
To prevent the battle from affecting the Great Ring Multiverse negatively, the Creator Annan had brought the Outer Gods into his microcosm.
Simultaneously, the massive form of the Eternal Dragon of Time appeared. Then another mighty dragon, the Dragon of Creation, appeared on the opposite side.
The Emperor of Heaven, in his purple-gold imperial dragon form, also manifested.
In no time, three colossal dragons and a cosmic giant god occupied the universe's four corners, sealing the Outer Gods from the Old Multiverse within the microcosm.
"Four of them, damn, there are four of them."
"Nyarlathotep! Four multiverse-level top existences, and you only detected one?"
The Black Goat of the Woods roared, its flesh writhing.
Nyarlathotep remained silent, feeling frustrated and unable to respond to the Black Goat's accusations.
I was sure there was only the Eternal Dragon of Time. How could this multiverse have no information about the other three? It doesn't make sense. If they existed, there should have been traces. This pioneer felt a bit aggrieved.
"Calm down, this is a trap."
The Unifier of All said slowly.
"They anticipated our invasion and prepared in advance."
"We've fallen into their trap."
"Fight to the death. As long as we return to the Old Multiverse, we'll be fine."
Meanwhile, the silver dragon smiled faintly, his gaze cold and indifferent, "The premise is that you can leave."
"Leave this Master of Time and Space to me."
He said to his companions.
Whoosh!
As soon as he spoke, the silver dragon's wings spread wide like a vast silver galaxy, charging at the Unifier of All, the most powerful individual. The Nine-faced Dragon God and the Emperor of Heaven, in his purple-gold imperial dragon form, attacked the Black Goat of the Woods, while the Creator Annan confronted Nyarlathotep.
"Time and space are infinite, and I am the origin."
The Unifier of All whispered.
Buzz!
Countless luminous spheres expanded, seemingly illusory yet real time-spaces, affecting light-years around, enveloping the silver dragon.
As soon as he was enveloped, Garon's world turned upside down.
He found himself in a new time-space within the Unifier of All.
Everywhere was engulfed in extreme heat flames, similar to the Fire Elemental Plane but hotter and more destructive.
Sizzle... under the Unifier of All's will, the endless flames boiled.
The entire alternate
time-space was like a furnace, the flames burning the intruder. Whoosh! The flames licked the silver dragon's scales, the extreme heat roasting his body, twisting the surrounding time and space, showing the intensity of the flames.
However, the silver dragon stood motionless amidst the endless flames.
Whoosh!
The silver dragon raised his head, took a deep breath, and inhaled the roaring flames, unafraid, absorbing, digesting, and converting them into his own power.
Then, Garon exhaled a breath of dragon frost he hadn't used in a long time.
Boom!
An endless storm of ice and frost surged out, the most extreme cold freezing time and space.
Never had a white dragon's frost breath reached such an extent.
With a single breath, Garon's frost dragon breath froze the flames, turning them into clusters of flame flowers encased in extreme ice crystals, like exquisite artworks.
Garon's white dragon bloodline had grown with him.
His frost breath had long reached the point of freezing time and space, though Garon seldom used it, preferring to wield his inherent great power.
With one breath, the fiery time-space turned into an icy realm.
The silver dragon ceased his breath, looking around, satisfied with his work.
Then, he whispered, "Shatter!"
Crash crash crash!
The extreme ice crystals shattered, and the frozen time-space crumbled into nothingness.
In the macro view, one of the mature luminous spheres forming the Unifier of All shattered, while the cold continued to spread, freezing and breaking hundreds more luminous spheres before subsiding.
The Unifier of All remained unmoved, speaking calmly, "I have infinite time-spaces, destroy as you will."
"You can't escape my endless time-space confinement. You are already mine."
Indeed, the luminous spheres forming the Unifier of All numbered in the billions, increasing every moment, seemingly endless and infinite. Garon's frost breath froze three hundred time-spaces, a considerable number, but like grains of sand in the ocean, incomparable to the total.
At the same time.
The Nine-faced Dragon God, the Emperor of Heaven, and Annan continued their battle against the Old Gods.
The Nine-faced Dragon God and the Emperor of Heaven, in his purple-gold imperial dragon form, fought the grotesque Black Goat of the Woods two-on-one.
Squelch squelch!
The Black Goat's fleshy body wriggled, splitting open with gaping maws, ejecting countless malformed embryos coated in mucus. In one contraction and expansion, thousands of embryos spewed out.
These embryos grew rapidly.
Bizarre centipedes with mouths full of fingers.
Deformed lions and tigers with baby arms on their heads.
Disgusting giant trees made entirely of organs.
Indescribable beings covered in eyes and hair.
Each was maddening and grotesque, driven by the Black Goat's will, a tide of bizarre creatures, surging, ebbing, countering the attacks of the Nine-faced Dragon God and the Emperor of Heaven.
The Emperor of Heaven's dragon claws slashed.
Slash slash slash!
The Emperor Sword claws cut through countless grotesque beings into powder, still having enough power to slash the Black Goat's twisted flesh body.
The massive claw marks nearly tore the Black Goat's body apart.
It howled, its rotting flesh writhing, twisting, rolling, and regenerating at an unbelievable speed, healing the nearly bisected body in an instant.
Boom!
The Nine-faced Dragon God unleashed a breath of rule dragon breath.
A breath of various destructive rules pierced and swept through countless offspring of the Black Goat, engulfing it entirely.
