The skies above the Eternal Castle burned crimson and gold, yet even this could not rival the roar that shook the world.
From the horizon emerged ancient dragons, colossal beings older than the kingdoms themselves. Their scales shimmered like molten metal, their eyes blazed with eternal fire, and their wings darkened the sun.
"So… the Eternal King dares challenge us?" one of the dragons thundered. "We are the first rulers of this world the blood of gods flows in our veins!"
Lilith's crimson flames flared. "Do they truly think they can survive him?"
Seraphina's frost spread across the clouds. "Dragons… old as the world itself. This will be a true battle."
Aria smirked. "I was hoping for a fight like this."
The Demon Queen's shadow swirled. "I will enjoy watching him take their blood."
Amara's divine light sparkled. "And I will ensure their hearts bend to him."
Ethan's eyes glowed crimson-gold. He spread his arms.

Lilith incinerated entire dragon wings with her crimson fire.
Seraphina froze molten lava rivers and shattered scales with frost.
Aria darted between dragons, striking their eyes and hearts with precision fire strikes.
The Demon Queen crushed dragons beneath shadows.
Amara's divine aura bent the dragons' will, weakening their resistance.
The King's Ascension
Ethan soared into the sky, facing the largest dragon a titan older than the mountains, its roar shaking the heavens.
"You… dare take my blood?" the dragon bellowed. "I am the Eternal Flame… the First Dragon!"
Ethan's aura flared, golden-crimson energy merging with the World Tree, the Underworld, and the divine soul of Amara.

The Dragon Throne
Ethan landed on a mountain peak, crimson and golden aura radiating across the world.
The dragons' bodies melted into energy, infusing the World Tree, the Underworld, and his very soul.
Lilith, Seraphina, Aria, the Demon Queen, and Amara gathered around him.
"With this bloodline," Ethan said, his voice like thunder, "our reign is eternal. Not even the dragons could oppose us."
A crown of molten scales appeared above his head, fused with the crimson-gold crown of the Eternal King. His wings, now imbued with dragon power, stretched wide.
"The Eternal Night… the World Tree… the Underworld… and now… the Dragon Bloodline," he whispered. "All under my command."
The world trembled. Mortals, vampires, demons, and gods alike felt the pulse of a King stronger than any before him.
