The Dragon Emperor of Tyranny's Power.

As Maulketh entered his cocoon of evolution, Shiva looked at the giant cocoon that was surrounding the giant dragon in pure mana from the atmosphere. As he looked at it, he had a great idea of how to help without losing much of anything.

'Let's see how much you can take.'

He held his hand out and from it, a massive wave of his Divine Energy was fed to Maulketh because as he said, he was putting all his support behind him. As such he decided to give the dragon the best energy he could for this. Divine Energy which was equal to Dragon Mana.

When his Divine Energy touched the cocoon he watched it be drawn in like a black hole. One thing about Shiva was that he was not just the God of Destruction, he was also the master of Poisons and Medicine, The God of Time, and he had several more titles to his name.

For someone like Maulketh that has as many affinities as he had limbs, his Energy was the best to use. He watched as all his Divine Energy was drawn in as fuel. He stopped when he felt the max limit of what Maulketh could contain and just watched.

"Odd. He is instinctively breaking my energy down."

As he said, the cocoon was not using his Divine Energy itself. It was destroying it and fusing it with Mana along with Dragon Aura and creating something that Dragon Gods used. Compared to how much Ophis and Great Red had it was small, but for any other being it would have been enough to use for there use for a long time if formed into a treasure.

'Such good fortune. Must this be the fate of the Heavenly Dragon or the fact he is with both Gremory girls? Those Gremory have a good string of fate to them so did that draw him to them or, them to him?'

Just as he was mid-pondering he felt two stares looking at him. They made him, the strongest being in this world feel danger. He turned around and saw Ophis standing there. And up in the sky, he could feel the eyes of Great Red looking at him.

Both of the Dragon Gods had their focus on him as they were here to ensure he did nothing to harm Maulketh. Ophis was staring right at him with cold black eyes. Seeing her look at him with such cold eyes made him smile.

"Emotions are a nice thing to show don't you think."

Ophis unamused got to the point.

"Why are you helping him and what is your end goal with my kin?"

Shiva shrugged.

"I found it interesting and decided to give him a hand. Simple as that."

Ophis was not buying it.

"Out with it. What did you see?"

Shiva whistled and walked off.

"Just some fights and nothing else."

Ophis hated dealing with Shiva as he was just that annoying. She was so much stronger than he was, but her concept of Infinity did not give her the power of future sight. Great Red did, as he saw the Dreams of the past, present, and future.

Yet he never spoke at all so getting to know what he saw was impossible. She looked over to the cocoon of Mark, no Maulketh in his evolution. Both Dragon Gods had nothing, but hope for him. Great Red as he knew the dangers beyond the Dimensional Gap and the main reason he made it his home.

As for Ophis, she just wanted someone to kick Great Red's ass. Like two bickering siblings as they technically were and at some level cared for each other. Shiva in the meantime began to walk away.

"I have done what I came to do, tell Maulketh that if he needs a friend, he can count on me. Oh and most importantly, tell him to not try to get his mates pregnant. If he keeps getting stronger like this, his little dragons will be lethal to carry."

With that said, Shiva teleported away leaving Ophis with Maulketh. She looked up and saw that the cocoon of Divine Dragon Mana was being devoured. She smiled as she had hoped for Mark to join them as the third Dragon God.

'From Mark to Maulketh, ha, I am going to keep calling him Mark in the future.'

She sat down and simply waited for when he would finish his evolution. This ended up being around a week straight as the energy he had to use was much stronger than what he was used to.

Plus the changes he was going through were major and he needed time to experience them. Once that week had passed by, Ophis noticed that it was time. She stood up and waited as he ripped his way out of the cocoon head first.

Following this he uncurled his body and walked out of the cocoon. His eyes were surging with unseen power and they seemed to have pure chaos in them. He felt as if his Dragon Mana had grown to such an extreme that it felt like it was liquid.

He felt his soul energy rush through his body to get accustomed to the new form. Which was major to say as while he was already big before, he had gotten even larger. He was now, 350 meters from nose to tail with a massive wing span.

He was already a titanic creature, before now he had grown over 140 meters in size. All over his body were thick plates of metal which were actually his scales in a double layer. Armor scales on top and regular scales on the bottom making his weight a whole lot bigger.

As for leathery wings, they were gone replaced by thick metallic shining ones. Though, overall he had not changed much from last time. He had just become even more monstrous than he already was.

He broke his Bounded Field not yet noticing Ophis who was stuck staring at his dragon body. Drool was leaving the side of her mouth for reasons only she would know. When Maulketh spread his giant wings to fly off, but Ophis teleported in front of his face.

"Wait a moment."

"What is it?"

His voice commanded power as his words themselves now carried his will and power. Yet she was still uninfected.

"If you fly like that, everything below you will be reduced to ashes."

He sighed as he simply forced himself back into his human form. As he was shrinking he made sure he did not get taller or anything. Once he was back in his human form, he placed his hands in his pockets and looked down at Ophis.

"Where is Shiva?"

She shook her head.

"He left, but he told me to tell you to not get your mates pregnant or they would die."

Hearing that made him confused.

"I was not going to, but thanks anyways I guess."

Maulketh turned around as he sat down on a rock.

"Ddraig, Abion, you here?"

[We're fine, but the energy that flows into the Sacred Gear is monstrous. That old fool never expected our host to grow so strong right Albion.]

{You are correct. So much power is more than enough for me to break many of these pesky seals. How many have you destroyed Ddraig?}

[All the ones that limit my power, but not the ones who keep me here. However, now I think we should get ready for this.]

"I apologize for taking your Principles, but once you are free you can train yourself to become even stronger."

[It's fine, you were a better Dragon of Domination than I could ever be.]

{As bitter as I may be, he is right. You embody both more than we do.}

Mark grinned as he looked toward the skies.

'Why wait, now is the time to strike.'

Maulketh returned to his dragon form and spread his massive wings out.

"Ophis, want to come?"

She teleported onto his back where thick plates of armor-like scales were the biggest.

"Fine, try to keep the-"

Before she could finish, Maulketh's wings flapped once and blasted them into the air. Each flap of his wings sent explosions of magic fire and ash which trailed behind them.

"Mark."

He looked behind him and saw that that which he decided to stop. With a wave of his will that stopped happening which was a welcomed surprise. He flew off and teleported in an eruption of mana over The Vatican.

However, he did not appear in real space but outside the First Heaven's Gate. His appearance caused the white clouds and sky to be tainted red as he walked toward the gate that was warded to protect it against intruders.

"I command you open."

His will alone caused the giant double doors to open wide as he walked toward it. Alarm bells began to ring out loud as the army of Heaven began to mobilize. From the 1st Heaven all the way to the 6th Heaven.

The 1st Heaven had only low-level angels and they would be snuffed out to just approach him. His aura alone was that deadly as he walked right through their precious gate.

Angels froze at the sight of the biggest being and dragon they had ever seen. And it was in their home, some fell to their knees, others bravely flew toward him to attack, but he once again did not care.

"Light is dark."

At his words, all the light of Heaven was snuffed out turning it into the darkest night. His Principle was in full effect as he could warp reality with his will alone. But this was just the most basic application of his power.

The many Angels around him had turned into Fallen Angels with just three words. And he was far from done.

"Only Dragons can fly."

Instantly Angels began to fall from the sky as they lost the power to fly. Causing many to fall hard to the ground, but they were not dead. He was not trying to kill them, he wanted to terrify them.

He could have simply invaded all of Heaven, but he was trying to keep casualties down. Not out of some moral obligation, but for convenience.

"Bring me, God."

Maulketh stood high waiting for the God of the Bible to come to face him. If God had the 5th spot, then he had to challenge him for the right to it. And take the bodies of Ddraig and Albion back so he waited.

He looked left and right expecting God to come to face him. He then saw a flash of Light and expected it to be God, but only saw a a blonde angel with 12 wings. Maulketh walked over and looked down at the Angel.

"Your not God. Where is he?"

"God shall not face you Dragon."

Maulketh got right in Michael's face to look for fear.

"And why not? I am here, in his kingdom, what kind of King does not face the invader of his realm?"

"He won't face you as he is dead."

Maulketh was taken a back by that which caused him to sit up.

"Dead?"

He looked behind him his back to Ophis who was laying down on his scales snoring. He reached up and scratched his face as he did not expect that.

"Dead, God is dead? I don't believe it. Tell him his trick will not work and he must come to face me."

Michael did not take back his claim.

"And he will never come."

This time Maulketh felt it was genuine making him sigh.

"This is pointless then."

Instantly all the rules he had placed were removed, but he spread his aura up to the 7th Heaven. The former home of God, and forced his will past the defenses that had weakened with Michael taking it over.

With his will as his eyes, he looked through the 7th Heaven and found what he was looking for. The bodies of Ddraig and Albion were locked away behind warded gates.

They were missing some parts which were used to form the Boosted Gear and Divine Dividing, and a few others, but overall they were in one piece. Just what he needed.

He teleported both bodies into his Spatial Rings and turned around to leave.

"Without God, Heaven is weak."

With that said he vanished from Heaven. With his departure the Light of Heaven returned. Michael grit his teeth as he looked at his injured brothers and sisters.

None were dead at least.

"Help everyone injured. I will need a status report."

As for Maulketh, he had returned to his volcano with Ophis still on his back. He home had the final piece of the puzzle to free the Heavenly Dragons.
