Chapter 696 366: Do you have no sense of shame?
The Yellow Gem Dragon was in distress.He felt that the leader had given him an unbearable task.
Snatching food from the mouth of an emperor, isn't that suicidal?
How much money would make it worth risking his life?
Once he understood this point, he decisively gave up the idea of drawing the Mayer Dragon King to his side.
The battle in the sky was still ongoing.
Tim was falling into a disadvantage faster than he had imagined.
This made the Yellow Gem Dragon, aside from sneering, also say to Monelisak beside him:
"There are rumors that this Fishman Demigod advanced with a massive amount of youthful resources, and now it seems not false."
The opponent fell into disadvantage so quickly that there was no room for argument.
It's not impossible to cultivate one; with a certain amount of talent and no obvious inner flaws, it's possible to build up a demigod by consuming vast resources and paying a huge price.
Tim's talent was not bad, otherwise, he wouldn't have reached his current position, but he truly lacked the ordinary demigod's spirit to fight to the death with the enemy.
Especially when Rodrinea saw another demigod aura rising from the Ense Royal Ship, that figure carried a familiar "flavor."
It wasn't really a smell, but he instinctively felt that the other was of the same race.
"The true Mayer Dragon King..." Rodrinea murmured.
Seeing that figure soar into the sky, standing with the weapon of the Star Realm Wanderer to attack the Fishman Demigod, Rodrinea grimaced and said:
"It's over."
No matter if that person thought he was Prince Louis or the Mayer Dragon King, it no longer mattered to him.
Because the battle was about to end.
Rodrinea frowned at the Fishman Demigod falling from the sky, then looked at the thunder, storms, and waves encircling the nearby seas, a wary look flashed in his eyes.
He didn't doubt that if he chose to oppose that Mayer Dragon King, he wouldn't fare much better than the Fishman Demigod.
After all, even if he was stronger than the Fishman Demigod, the gap was pretty much closed once the other acquired the divine artifact, the Ocean Roarers.
As for combat experience...
Strictly speaking, while dragons have longer life spans than most races, and possess more practical experience, he would never believe they could be compared to humans of the same echelon.
It's not that he feared the human species, but that the innate physique of humans is indeed significantly weaker compared to most dominant races.
Yet, they dare to survive and fight.
The combat a Legendary Human Warrior experiences in a lifetime could very likely surpass that of a Legendary Dragon.
The innate superior qualities of dragons mean they will seldom challenge stronger opponents as underdogs.
Training in combat experience cannot be reached simply through fighting.
A typical scenario is like when an adult attacks an infant; even if they defeat the infant, does it really demonstrate high combat skills?
Clearly not.
Only by continuously challenging those on the same tier or even stronger can one have the chance to break through the upper limits of their skills.
From this perspective, the rooting and budding of the human species across the Star Continent is an inevitable trend.
Certainly—
They breed easily, but they are not the easiest.
They grow quickly, but they are not the fastest.
Their innate physique is weak, but not the weakest.
They are good at cooperation, but not overly dependent.
They are familiar with magic, but not the most adept.
They inherently possess a militant gene, but are not the most aggressive.
...
Strictly speaking, there are no distinct points in humans that stand out exceptionally.
Yet, precisely because they lack extreme talents, they have instead found a balance among various deficiencies, compensating for one another.
Rodrinea recalled discussing humans with his Dragon King years ago, with an indescribably speechless look on the Dragon King's face.
In his superior's words:
"Indeed, in pure destructive power of the same rank, humans are at a disadvantage, but from their very emergence, they have occupied over seventy percent of the Saint Realm experts on Star Continent.
Within this group, every now and then, a brood of Saint Realms arises, maintaining strong dominance even if they lag behind the top-tier races in overall level.
So, Rodrinea, when standing before humans who have not yet stepped into the legendary level, feel free to show off the majesty of a powerful race!
Otherwise, when they step into the legendary or even demigod level, our original advantage will be completely erased, and we will be overwhelmed by their extensive experience."
—But Your Majesty, you never told me humans were already so strong before reaching the legendary level?!
He immediately saw it clearly!
That Mayer Dragon King, not only young, but also very likely hasn't stepped into legend.
A paragon with monster power comparable to a demigod, and their own combat power reaching demigod, what kind of monster is this?
Tim felt it more deeply than Rodrinea.
Because he was on the receiving end.
The relentless blows inflicted upon him caused immense pain.
The Ocean Roarers couldn't protect his body from harm.
Because when the type I Water Dragon appeared in formation, the power that the Ocean Roarers could unleash became even more limited.
—Because the type I Water Dragon was fiercely fighting for control of the thunder, storms, and oceans.
When the most precious armor could not exert effective power, the occupational level he forcibly elevated in a rush could no longer cover up his own shortcomings.
