In the moment the Time Herald Emperor Dragon launched its attack, Loona made no move.
"Boom!"
The next instant, the dragon's claw seemed to hit an invisible defensive barrier, as the overwhelming shockwave abruptly halted a hundred meters away from Loona's body.
"Meow." (Sorry.)
Loona let out a low chant, as if apologizing to her past self.
And that act successfully enraged the Time Herald Emperor Dragon, adding a few more touches of madness to its eyes.
"You think you have already won!"
"I must fulfill my desire and step onto the path of evolution!"
"For this moment to come, I am willing to bet my life!"
As it spoke, the Time Herald Emperor Dragon closed its eyes and used the Power of Time to stimulate the blood within, causing its body to rapidly swell in size.
Then it opened its massive jaws, and in an instant, the formidable Power of Time coalesced into a dark silver sphere that could corrode time, emanating a terrifying presence.
