Evolution begins with an ant colony

Chapter 182: Didn’t See That Coming

As Akun gazed at the dragon created by alternate Akun using dark silver, he couldn’t help but feel impressed. A smile formed on his face as he remarked, "If you’re a dragon now, then I guess I’ll be a dragon slayer."@@@@

Locked in a stare, the dragon and Akun faced off. In his dragon form, alternate Akun released a mighty roar, spreading his wings.

As Akun took a closer look at alternate Akun in his dragon form, he mused, "Transforming himself into a dragon was just dumb. Now he can’t fight with his hands; all of his attacks would be limited to only his breath." Akun smiled, thinking further, "Guess it’s my win since he made the wrong move." He activated his dragon eyes, pinpointing alternate Akun’s location inside the dragon’s body.

He mused further, "Found him."

In that moment, Akun propelled himself forward with a massive sonic boom at the dragon form of alternate Akun. Inside the dragon body, alternate Akun smiled.

As Akun approached, alternate Akun in his dragon form made a swift turn, utilizing his massive tail and aimed it at Akun. As his body twisted, at the speed he was going, Akun couldn’t stop. Time seemed to slow down as Akun mused, "Shit! I completely forgot about the tail."

As the tail struck Akun, he was sent crashing into the ground with a sonic boom. Upon landing, a massive shockwave rippled through the earth, causing chunks of soil to fly into the sky.

As Akun collided with the earth with such massive force, the impact sent shockwaves through the surroundings, shaking the very ground beneath him. He coughed up blood, and his eyes widened with disbelief, mirroring the intensity of the collision.

Quickly regaining his footing, he wiped away the blood, leaving streaks on his face as he rose to face alternate Akun. With a mix of respect and acknowledgment, he yelled, "I must admit, that was very creative of you. I didn’t see that coming." The words echoed in the aftermath of the impact, punctuating the gravity of the battle.

Before he could finish his statement, alternate Akun unleashed the power of his dragon maw, launching a 100% charged railgun attack. The air crackled with energy as the projectile hurtled toward Akun.

As Akun was about to proceed with his grand plan, the system’s voice suddenly echoed in his head, [Warning to the player!!]

[The player should refrain from using any †Authority† related to time; if the player does, they could suffer serious consequences.]

Shocked, Akun asked, "Why? He just used an †Authority†, and nothing happened to him. Or are you on his side now?"

The system clarified, [No, player. Simply put, the use of †Authorities† related to time will speed up the process far more than other †Authorities†. This stems from the fact that it was the †Chronos Ruler† †Authority† that caused all of this.] Stay updated with novelhall.Côm

The system continued, [The †Authority† the other player used was †Grate Extreme Chaos,† not †Chronos Ruler.† Although it is not the cause of this anomaly, it will still slowly speed up the process.]

Akun then narrowed his gaze as he mumbled, "In other words, only †Grate Extreme Chaos† is on the table."

[...]

[Did the player not just hear the warning from the system?]

Akun then replied, tightening his grip on his Void Sword Onos, "I heard you, but I’d have..." Before Akun could finish his statement, alternate Akun interrupted him. His voice echoed from the body of the dragon as its mouth moved, "Are you done with your little chat with the system yet?"

Akun’s eyes widened with disbelief as he muttered, "How did..."
