Crowning of the dragon king

Looking at the two options floating before his eyes, the dragon frowned, and his gaze stopped on the first one.

'Tricks are great and fun, but in the end, the raw power was always much more reliable.'

He always felt that basing his defenses on evasion or other trickery was too risky, 'Avoiding attack by phasing to the fourth dimension feels great against mortals and unprepared, but can it help me resist divine-energy-infused attacks, or would they simply hit me.'

With his own eyes, he has witnessed the absoluteness of the divine energy-infused fire and how it burned even time and void when he willed it. There was no reason to hope and pray that it couldn't burn him just because he was phasing.

No matter how he looked at it, it felt too flimsy, uncertain, and unreliable when compared to the terrifying defenses of the first option.
