It took less than a second for Lucas to take in everything around him, to see people approaching with weapons in their hands, to activate the automatic skill matching in his head, to be ready for a fight and with indescribable reflexes to answer anything, the first thing Lucas could do when he saw two opponents was to raise his left hand and form a shining shield, the shield materialized in half a second and all the senses, old and new, hearing, sight, sense of movement, tremors of the environment, all made Lucas know who what and where in two seconds, everything suddenly from slowing down began to speed just like the world around him.
Lao Bin was the first attacker, a brave samurai in brown lamellar armor hit the shield several times, but none of his attacks ever had any effect, the steel katana bounced three times from the luminous shield and his opponent, like a thunderbolt, bent and raised the shield, reflecting each blow from various directions.
It was the first moment of shock, Lao Bin couldn't understand how his opponent stopped his punches with such ease and speed but it wasn't over, before Lao Bin swung for the fourth time he was all surpassed by the alien from another world, Lucas striking forward with a strong the blow with the shield caused the steel katana to break into a few pieces and the shocked Lao Bin fell to the ground with a big bang losing consciousness.
- Lao!, you monster, you will pay me for this!. Raya shouted, throwing herself at Lucas.
Raya leapt high, thrusting her sword with all her might, but she wasn't the first, a quick twist of Lucas, the shield and he flashed faster than the blowing gale, shaking the wind and everyone around, and the blows of the shield easily knocked the yellow-handled sword off, pushing the startled warrior backwards in gray leather armor.
Before Raya could say a word, think, blink an eye, she was hit again in another defense, Lucas spinning with his shield like a bullet struck a second time and easily drove the half-conscious Raya to the ground, knocking her down next to the half-conscious samurai.
- It can't end like this, I'm here!. Shouted, Tong in fur armor came running up, raising a great ax and hitting it from above at the stranger from another world standing sideways.
Lucas looked to his right and in less than half a second he stood calmly in front of the blade of the ax rushing towards him, as the seconds ticked by and the ax sped by the great warrior's hands, Lucas using his super speed first scratched his auburn hair and finally extended his right hand in front of him and he easily caught the blade of the ax in his first two fingers, easily breaking the momentum.
Come Tong pressing down on the ax hilt with all his strength, making a grimace on his face and with one eye Lucas easily stopped his strenuous efforts and stared at his opponent revealing a mad smile then materialized in his left hand Aquaman's golden trident, Lucas looked into his opponent's eye seeing in him the first fear, but that was only the beginning, Lucas swung the ax with terrifying swiftness, knocking it out of the great warrior's hands and throwing it almost to the edge of the precipice, Lucas, grasping the trident with both hands, rose above the Tong and, throwing the trident, struck the hilt of his opponent's head with the trident.
Tong threw his head back and fell with a thud to the ground almost losing consciousness and Lucas landed calmly on the ground staring at the man with the eyepatch turning the trident into a sword with a perfect shining blade, there was silence for one second but everything started rushing again and Lucas out of the corner of his eye he saw what was obvious to him, but he still didn't understand why these people were fighting him, why these people called him a conqueror and a killer.
However, there was no time to think, the sight of the black-haired warrior with two wounds in front of her ears and two swords in her outstretched hands focused all the attention of the visitor from another world, Lucas, holding his sword firmly, watched every move of the charging Namaari, every step, movement of hands, eyes, everything, as Namaari landed a couple of quick punches, Lucas easily took them all in his sword-wielding right hand.
Though the two blades whirled like a storm, left, right, spins, everything Namaari did was easily deflected from the newcomer's perfect sword, seeing the first failure Namaari full of fury struck with two blades from one direction from right to left and her two blades struck into the newcomer's blade, Lucas didn't even flinch, it was neither seen nor felt, Lucas using his strength pushed with his sword and threw the surprised Namaari a few meters away.
Namaari furiously stood up, glaring at her opponent with a sharp glare, but what surprised her the most was the lack of that sneering smile on the newcomer's face, instead Lucas was looking at her with his blue eyes in a strange way, as if he resented everything, nevertheless Namaari attacked again, her first blows they struck again from many directions, Lucas first blocked the first blow stopping the blade of the opponent with his sword, then twisted his whole body and his sword on the blade of Namaari and stopping the two blades crossed on the sword, Lucas struck twice first by crouching and standing up, striking from below up and top down.
The newcomer's shining sword shone twice as fast as thunder, and the strength and precision of the blows easily knocked down and knocked Namaari's blades to the ground, the fierce warrior pushed away with strength, precision and momentum until she took a few steps back, instinctively looking at the ground and the swords lying next to her, to finally look ahead again and see the fist holding the sword, Namaari closed her eyes and took the newcomer's blow on her face, Lucas easily knocked out the warrior and Namaari fell to the ground half conscious with a thud.
Despite his victory, Lucas looked at the lying warrior more scared, because even though he didn't use much strength for the blow, and any stronger attack could certainly even tear off the head, and so the sight of the unconscious girl with a bruise on the left cheek under the eye was a difficult sight for him, because he's never hit a girl before.
Meanwhile, the red-haired Engineer in a robe standing on the other side watched with great satisfaction the newcomer giving a show of his power, knowing perfectly well that what he saw was just the beginning and the conqueror would release his true power only during the fight with the golden dragon.
- great, he, it's him!. Said the Engineer rubbing his hands together.
- Sir, what do we do then, we wait for him. Irhabar asked.
The engineer looked to his right at the man with gray hair in a leather suit, looking into his brown eyes, showing his broad smile of a man who knows every possibility, a man who cannot be surprised, not anymore.
- calm down Irhabar, savor the moment, look how your friend Pelona enjoys it looking at our success, soon our ally will change everything, but first watch. Said the Engineer, extending his hands towards the visitor from out of this world, the visitor who in less than a few seconds had defeated four warriors and warriors and was now about to face the dragons and their former service.
Lucas stared around for three seconds, not understanding anything about everything around him, first the words about the Conqueror hit him, then the fight with the humans, now the words spoken by the Engineer hit him, but this was only going to be the beginning, everything was set in motion again when Nitor Hazin jumped out holding two black circles and throwing them at the newcomer, he grabbed his ears.
Seeing two circles, Lucas immediately realized that he was dealing with something called grenades in his world, Lucas using another power pulled out a golden lasso and hit the incoming projectiles with it, throwing them over the edge of the cliff, after all from a distance you could only hear the sound of explosion, and Nitor Hazin shivered nervously, backing up until he ran into Lana Wina, who was also shivering.
A blonde-haired girl in a green dress, seeing the newcomer marching towards them, quickly spread her hands to protect two small people from the newcomer, Little Noi in a yellow dress seeing her defeated friends and the approaching man with a strange look saw something in it that even she could not understand and it roused the same fear in her as it had in Boun's heart beside her.
Boun and his green tunic were trembling as much as everyone else, except for the brave companions jumping out in front of them, the first to fight was the millipede Krun Win and the armadillo Tuk Tuk, but no one was ready for what happened after Lucas suddenly ran around them at breakneck speed.
Everything around started spinning and when it stopped Lucas stood watching as Nitor Hazin, Lana Wina, Little Noi, Boun, Tuk Tuk and Krun Win as their heads and eyes spin around and then fall to the ground slightly confused, this was the first time Lucas defeated someone not using punches, but using super speed straight from the Flash movies.
- ha, fast as Flash, strong as Superman with the same laser eyes, blades, lasso, shield like Wonder Woman, trident like Aquaman, ha, how did this happen, it's amazing, ha, what else do I have up my sleeve I think I'll find out in a moment, but if you want to fight me, go ahead. Lucas said looking at the two dragons, the red fire dragon Flamus and the granite earth dragon Gronus.
The two dragons, seeing the newcomer and his abilities and his focus on the five innocents in these two juveniles, did not intend to continue to stand and watch, overcoming their shock and paralysis, both Flamus and Gronus stood by each other and released their two strongest breaths.
Flamus ignited his orange mane causing everything to tremble, letting out a mighty breath of fire mingling with the strongest breath of jagged rock shards, standing close by, Gronus clenched his claws tightly on the ground, causing even the ground to tremble slightly like his purple appendages, and his breath became like liquid the earth rushing straight into the flames, so hundreds of stones mingled with the fire and hit the newcomer with dizzying speed.
Lucas, seeing the immense power in a fraction of a second, guided by the inner instinct of a perfect strategist, remembered about the new powers and quickly crossed his arms and when it happened everything was suddenly blown away by a powerful glow and bang, everything went to splinters and under the pressure of the power of light the powerful breath of the two dragons was pushed from the foundations of the world along with two dragons.
Both Flamus and Gronus couldn't even think of what was going on, how to fight the unknown, within three seconds their combined strongest breath was easily pushed from the firmament of the world and they themselves were struck and successfully knocked out by the light power of the newcomer's crossed hands.
The heads of the two dragons jumped up and they themselves landed on the ground with a bang, losing almost all consciousness, effectively paralyzed under the pressure of indescribable power.
Lucas, seeing his success, wiped his forehead, but not from fatigue, but rather from joy that in the next attack he did not use too much power, if he did, there would certainly be nothing to scratch off the two dragons, which he did not want to do.
Come on no one knew that Lucas doesn't fight deadly seeing the unconscious fire dragon, Amba screamed not knowing what to do, whether to go to help or fight the newcomer, but everything focused on the latter option, because help won't do anything anyway because you'll arrive eventually and target them.
- You will pay me, you, you!. The purple-blue dragoness screamed, pushing her lime-colored brother Pengu and the white-blue wind-dragoness Verana into the fight, and her blue sister Sisu who was the only one standing completely paralyzed by fear.
Two water dragons and a wind dragoness, not caring about anything else, fighting for friends and loved ones, united their breaths together and released water mixed with ice raging in the storms, the combined breath was rushing at great speed and everything around even rock particles were blown off the road pieces of cracked stones and drag some of them into a great whirlpool.
Lucas, seeing the cone of the cyclone again carried by his inner instinct, reached out both hands and shot a powerful bolt of lightning from them like Black Adam himself, lightning struck with a great roar into the raging wind, causing the water, ice and wind to simply evaporate, crack and disintegrate on contact with the overwhelming thunder. and they crawled to their cell on the streams of water.
The three dragons fighting with all their strength saw only a sudden flash, there was no dragon with enough reflexes to dodge the fast lightning, Amba, Pengu and Verana were hit by the rapidly fading lightning and half-consciously landed on their backs slightly shivering from the ebb of the electrical voltage.
Lucas looked at his hands more surprised than pleased, and the sparkling lightning bolts shone in his hands for three seconds until they went out completely, in the meantime Sisu, seeing the defeated sister and brother, looked completely paralyzed by fear, because it was before her a conqueror wielding indescribable power, the conqueror of the prophecy, the slayer of the Golden Dragon, the conqueror who had defeated all her friends, family, and was now staring straight at her, could end everything in a truly terrible way, so fear suddenly burst in the vision of the end of everything.
Sisu released a few tears from her eyes staring at her end, but everything was suddenly stopped by none other than the visitor himself, the mysterious visitor showed no satisfaction or fury to her tears, instead he looked at her with equal sorrow and silence, and the lack of any aggressive movement made Sisu, throwing fear aside, take the first step forward like an unknown man, but everything was interrupted by the raised voice of the Engineer.
- splendid, newcomer, conqueror, it is indeed a great display of your power, but a small one. Said the Engineer raising his hands around in the image of a great battle with as many as four hundred silver legionnaires in front of him.
- I'm not a conqueror, I'm Lucas Nowak, half Polish, half American after his father. Lucas said, turning his full attention to the man with the rucksack on his back and a small bag at his waist.
- Yes, Mr. Lucas, I welcome you as it was foretold. Said the Engineer.
- predicted by whom. Lucas asked as the thought of the written cards of the future without choices and what Lucas always wanted to change and you will fix quickly appeared in his mind.
- written future yes?, by whom. Lucas asked, focusing all his attention on the red-haired man.
- everything was recorded by the Golden Dragon, the dragon of knowledge, he sees the future and creates it, you can say that he is the master of fate and always presents us before the fait accompli, but in his naivety he made a prophecy that today is no longer delayed, you are the one who will defeat the hegemon fate and choices, you are our liberator, today will be a great moment. The Engineer said, and Lucas, who was listening to him, smiled because that's what he wanted the most, but there was one thing he didn't like, but everything focused on something completely different.
- you, Mr. Lucas, will defeat the Golden Dragon today, it's your task, please go, and I will. Said the Engineer, turning his brown eyes to the now rising opponents he was racing to the top of the granite.
Seeing what was already obvious, Lucas quickly realized that the one he initially treated as the good one was not in him at all, he saw it in his words, facial expressions, he knew that he was dealing with someone similar to villains from movies and comics, with a manipulator, a master planner like the Red Skull, and he couldn't let that happen, especially when he realized that those he was fighting were here to stop the future because there was another bottom hidden in all this.
- what about them. Lucas asked, pointing to Lao Bin and Raya getting up from the ground.
- I will take care of them personally, my legions will take them. Said the Engineer, and four hundred legionnaires took their first steps, preparing their swords, pikes and shields for battle as well as the three ships hovering nearby.
- No!, I won't let you, you!. Lucas said what etched into the Engineer's ground because it wasn't what he expected, it wasn't written in the prophecy, and yet Lucas stretched out his hands and using another power like Green Lantern materialized a green MINI GUN.
Sisu, Lao Bin and Raya stood up in complete shock as Lucas, the visitor from another world suddenly turns all his power against the Engineer's legions, as the visitor comes to their defense, come to fight them just now, and they tried to stop him, now the visitor becomes in their defense, something that was mad and incomprehensible, unless the mysterious visitor was not evil but a slave to a written future.
Doesn't change the fact that the newcomer's first attack was as shocking, terrifying as it was fascinating, Lao Bin, Tong and Namaari stood up wide-eyed and one eye watched with everyone as Lucas guided the Mini Gun from right to left and left to right, all what can be seen and heard are shiny tiny projectiles speeding at a dizzying speed faster than the speed of sounds and their power simply outclassed everything they knew, a power only equal to other powers of the newcomer.
It only took one shot and the bullet shattered even the largest silver shield, one shot of a lightning bolt smashed the silver soldiers forever, spreading their steel bodies around the big battlefield, Lucas, firing left and right, broke everything he could throw at him in a matter of seconds The Engineer and the Engineer himself watched in complete horror and incomprehension as his once invincible legions gave way in a few moments, on the one hand, it was a show of power of the newcomer who would soon defeat the golden dragon, but on the other hand, it was a moment of fear because what would happen after breaking the dragon of wisdom and the future not even the Engineer could have foreseen this.
At the same time, standing close to the Engineer, Irhabar grabbed the broken blade of one of the legionnaires and signaled the three Experimentals, from three decks of ten ballistae fired series of arrows, but again none of them was able to reach their target, in front of everyone shocked and terrified from both sides, whether it was Pelona or Namaari, all looked at the image of indescribable power unrelated to any of the elements, the power of the lasers from the eyes, Lucas aimed his laser from left to right cutting through everything in his path lasers starting with speeding arrows that were not even able to explode, they were just completely annihilated.
The laser weld hit the first experimental row, and within two seconds the steel ship was practically cut in half, the lower deck crashed against the rock rise, falling down and exploding, the upper half exploding, showering the vicinity of the granite peak with a pile of shards, and a wave of fire soared across the sky in In a northerly direction, falling down, the beam pierced two more ships and everything exploded again with a great bang, again fragments poured down from the great hill and the newcomer, Lucas, stood confidently before two opponents now weighing their odds.
The first was Ran Hon, holding his katana high, despite the image of all the newcomer's power. Ran Hon, guided by the oath of honor, rushed into the fight, swinging his two-handed katana like a madman, doing a couple of full rotations, Lucas materialized his golden trident in a microsecond and spun his whole body holding the trident on his back, he twisted quick blows, deflecting all the momentum of the opponent and his own blows, Ran Hon, thrown away with a quick series of poison turns and powerful blows, was knocked off his shoes.
Ran Hon looked at the newcomer standing in front of him holding a trident in his right hand and shouted as loud as he could throwing himself into the fray, Ran Hon began to strike again this time finishing each half turn with a quick thrust, the long katana again hit only the golden trident and Lucas twisting the quick The flip on the trident spun again three times, first hitting the opponent's legs, the second blow to his katana and the third ending straight to the head, breaking the front of the samurai mask.
Ran Hon grabbed his face because he didn't want to show his true face, everything changed when Lucas hit the trident again, hitting the opponent in the back part of the body and cracking armor, Ran Hon fell face down to the ground and when he got up everyone saw a man covered with freckles, strange red freckles and his gray eyes, one of them going outwards which meant that Ran Hon had a big one-eyed squint.
- You will pay me for this disgrace!. Ran Hon shouted throwing himself into the fight.
Ran Hon, like a cyclone of dreams, began to spin and Lucas calmly placed each of his blows holding the trident with only his left hand, twisting the trident from left to right, each blow was easily blocked and the struggling Ran hon lost control of his own rage more and more, finally when all frustration burned in a startling charge, in one swirling leap forward, Lucas doubled to the right, swung his trident and knocked the startled samurai out of the air, driving the coiled trident into the ground and the samurai sword caught in the pincers.
Ran Hun gripped the hilt of the katana as hard as he could but all he managed to do while tearing the blade was to separate it from the embedded tip of the blade as Ran Hon fell to the ground holding his cracked sword Lucas turned two turns hitting Ran Hon with the other side of the trident hitting him straight into the helmet breaking it into a few pieces, Ran Hon deprived of his consciousness fell to the ground defeated so easily and Lucas changing his weapon to a shining sword looked at the uncertain black-haired assassin with black lips waiting for her this time.
Pelona probably for the first time in her life did not know what to do, she always fought with predictable people who can be destroyed mentally and physically, but today she was dealing with something that exceeded her reasoning, and Lucas showed a strange crazy smile and his blue eyes hid in extraordinary cunning and intelligence.
- fight if you dare. Lucas said.
- how dare you, you don't have the courage to use your abilities to fight, fight me honestly. said Pelona, demanding the impossible, and yet.
- You have my word, come on, go ahead. Lucas said.
When Pelona threw herself into the fight, the most interested Namaari watched the next duel with curiosity, even though the mysterious newcomer would defeat as if she was nothing and was now threatening the Golden Dragon. Namaari sincerely rooted for the newcomer in her heart.
Lucas seeing the whirling blades and assassins in a series of spins stood still and patiently waited and when his opponent was a meter away from him using the same tactics as in the fight with Namaari, walking gracefully like a professional dancer and spinning two katanas Lucas quickly drew left hand and, in front of the shocked assassin, grabbed her sword hand.
- a cheap trick, you spin the blade but the blow is always the same as the hand holding it. Lucas said, turning quickly and hitting the assassin in the head with a quick half-turn kick.
One simple blow knocked the assassin off her feet, and the enraged Pelona, knowing full well that instead of a leg, it could have been a blade, screamed in frustration, the assassin rose like a mad hound, lunging with another series of blows. This time Pelona was making another quick attack, changing positions from spinning on her heels to crouching high, but again none of her crazy attacks had any effect, on the contrary, Lucas twisted his right hand and his luminous razor-sharp sword, himself performing series of quick and surprising spins starting from her knees after going all the way to the ground floor, Pelona could only see the streaks of blades, her own punches being deflected every time as if from a wall, seeing what she had not seen yet Pelona started jumping until her eyes saw the sight of a speeding blade and the moment in which she was no longer able to react.
- no!. Pelona screamed as the blade suddenly retracted and Lucas, rising to his feet, kicked the assassin straight in the stomach, knocking her to the ground, which of course did not go unnoticed and pleased Namaari.
- That's right!, put it on for me!. Namaari screamed.
- you trash!. Pelona screamed as she stood up to fight again, lunging at the man again, this time the ever confident warrior had knocked all her confidence and calmness away, now driven only by her own frustration.
Pelona swung again from several directions, and Lucas swung his sword left and right, knocking the assassin's blades aside for a moment and thrust with astonishing speed, it only took two simple blows to deflect the assassin's blades and one strike to end it all once and for all, but yeah didn't happen again.
Pelona was standing in front of the blade next to her head, a blade that should have been in her head by now but it didn't, instead Lucas hit the empty spot and now pulling his sword towards him he cut the area in front of his ear and spinning around kicked Pelona again with all his might .
- That's what it's all about!. Namaari screamed but quickly fell silent when she met the newcomer's gaze.
Lucas didn't show anger or anger, his full attention was once again focused on the rising assassin, and this time he joined the fight, without a word in silence Lucas dodged another swift blow driving his sword between the speeding blades himself jumping and spinning in place throwing two with katanas and rendering Pelone completely defenseless, Lucas thrust his sword again and when he pulled it, he cut the assassin's other ear, then, making a quick turn, elbowed the assassin and Pelona fell to the ground with a thud, paralyzed by the pain in her nose and what had happened.
- no it is not possible!. Pelona screamed as she tried to get up, but this time the golden lasso helped her.
Lucas grabbed the assassin with a golden lasso and pulled her towards him, grabbing her by the throat.
- tell me what you're afraid of. Asked Lucas and Pelona, unable to fight, screamed a few words.
- I'm afraid that one day I'll meet someone better, I hate better than myself, why, why did I say it.
- My lasso makes me always tell the truth. Lucas said and threw the freed assassin at the stupas of a shocked Irhabar who immediately lowered his blade and began to pull the assassin onto the fourth final ship.
- wait, you can't, your main task, your mission is. The Engineer said, extending his hands in front of him in surrender.
- I know well what my main mission is but first you, you!. Lucas said, turning this time to the only one who didn't take up the fight, looking at the blue Sisu paralyzed with fear.
Lucas like Flash ran to Sisu in a second and she immediately fell to the ground looking at the newcomer with fear, seeing Raya and everyone wanted to fight but they were stopped again by Lucas making a quick swing of the lasso and throwing everyone back, after that Lucas turned to lying water dragoness.
- And you don't want to fight me?. Lucas asked without a weapon, without anything to use in a fight.
- No, I don't want!, No, I don't see evil in you. Said Sisu taking deep breaths.
- No, why are you afraid?. Lucas asked as his eyes began to widen uncontrollably, because when he appeared in a strange world he had to fight with everyone.
- I'm afraid, I don't know. Sisu said slowly getting up on her paws seeing in the newcomer someone not evil, but rather enslaved by the prophecies of the Golden Dragon.
- it is not your fault but the Golden Dragon's that you were sent here. added Sisu.
- Something sent me here.
- such a strange relic, something metal, looking like I don't know, like a gold disc. Said Sisu trying to describe the gold chip.
- micro portal, ha, I knew that something like this must have had its fingers here, surely alien technology, otherwise. Lucas said, debating what he just heard until all his attention was focused on the unsure purple dragon eyes.
- so it's a bit weird, because I should be afraid of you and not the other way around.
- you me but why, with your powers?. Sisu asked, gaining more and more courage and thus her friends, seeing and hearing the conversation, stopped in place looking at the conversation of their friend with the conqueror from another world.
- in my world I had no powers, probably what I have now is the effect of teleportation, but back to the point, in my world full of technology there are no dragons, I thought that I would only see something like you on TV or read about you in books but this, this is amazing as your whole world. Lucas said as he slowly rose to the sky and focused all his attention on the sky.
- you know, I never thought that I would ever be able to fly on my own, and today I can do everything, lady?. Lucas asked.
- Sisudatu, I mean Sisu, dragoness of water. Said Sisu with a slight blush.
- Sisu, beautiful and gentle name, I'm Lucas Nowak, so tell me Sisu if you'd like to see the world from above today. Lucas asked, giving the blue dragoness a hand, for which Sisu was not ready, especially for what happened next.
Sisu instinctively nodded, giving her blue paw to a man from another world, and Lucas, looking with a wide smile, soared into the sky, taking it with him.
- Sisu!. Pengu shouted as he ran after his sister.
- sister!. Amba screamed, watching as her sister kidnapped by the newcomer disappeared somewhere behind the clouds.
- what is it supposed to be, what is going on here, what does he want to do with her!. shouted Boun.
Something big, for sure, but even I don't know. She said Little Noi for the first time in her life, unable to figure out the human mind.
- does that make sense. Lana Wina asked.
- I do not understand a thing. Nitor Hazin said.
- We have to do something anyway. Lao Bin said.
- I would take care of those rats there first, hey cowards come back here. Namaari screamed as she watched the last Experimental take off into the sky, and on board her opponent, full of frustration, yelled at the sky after the newcomer.
- although on the other hand the sight of Pelona is the sweetest thing in my life today, may she live and know that she is not invincible. Namaari said smugly.
- it doesn't matter anyway, Sisu has been kidnapped and this newcomer, Lucas will soon be fighting the Golden Dragon, we must do something quickly!. Raya shouted as she mounted her ever-faithful armadillo just as Lao Bin did when he mounted the brown-red millipede Krun Win.
- right now, what do you want to do!. Flamus shouted.
- You've seen what this thing can do, it can't be stopped. Verana screamed.
- I'm not going to stand by and watch the prophecy come true, if he defeats the Golden Dragon all his power will be dictated by the Black Empress and that can't be allowed, something must be done, stop him somehow. Amba said ready to run.
- so be it, we've got to try, come on. Verana said confidently before she squealed loudly.
- aaaahhhhhhh. What, why!?. Verana screamed suddenly, looking at Lana Wina, holding a pair of wind dragoness mane feathers in her hand.
- why. Verana asked.
- she always does, she's curious about everything, welcome to the club Verana, and you Gronus have nothing to worry about, your appendages are unlikely to be stolen, but let's get to the point we need to stop the newcomer as soon as possible now, quickly. Said Pengu taking the still focused princess with white feathers in his hand on his back.
Meanwhile, the empress's citadel, the Black Empress in a black and gold dress watched the horizon as her city slowly approached the last free city, the port city of Zanonius, they keep an eye on the horizon, looking through the visor she saw the Experimental approaching, which was strange to her there was only one and yet The Engineer set out for the summit in four, the only time the Empress, standing in front of the dome at the vantage point of her great fortress, felt fear of failing the mission, but when the Experimental returned, the Engineer appeared, leading Irhabar and his furious subordinates with him, even though Pelona and Ran Hon were furious for disgracing Lao Bin's failure and betrayal, it was the Engineer's smile that gave her the greatest confidence.
- So it started?. the Black Empress asked.
- yes, my lady, it has begun, today the Golden Dragon's reign will come to an end and all its power will be yours. Said the Engineer, and the Black Empress quickly put a pendant with a navy blue ray emitting necklace around her neck for only one purpose, to draw back all the power given after the golden dragon's slaying.
Meanwhile, in the sky, Lucas was rushing at a measured speed, holding the blue dragoness's left hand tightly, Sisu with wide eyes and open mouth looked at the sight she had seen for the first time, a gentle wind was blowing her blue-violet mane and her purple eyes stared at the view below and around her where there were clouds everywhere and a view of the world from above, both Sisu and Lucas were completely enchanted by the view which confirmed the newcomer's words that his now powers had been given to him by teleporting from their world.
- amazing, it's amazing, I always wanted to rush through the sky like Superman, and today I'm allowed to. Lucas said as he stared at the sky, the clouds, and the city below, the port city of Zanonius.
- no, that's impossible. Said Sisu squeezing the man's right hand tighter.
- what happened?, don't be afraid, I'm here and I'm holding you tight. Lucas said, grabbing Sisu's other free paw in his left hand, looking her in the eyes, but what he saw was not fear.
- it's beautiful, look there!. cried Sisu, staring into the distance, at the great ocean.
Lucas looked at the ocean and rushed towards it, lowering his flight, giving his dragon companion the best view of the gently undulating water.
- there's so much of it. Said Sisu rolling her eyes.
- Sisu, you're a water dragon, are you really seeing the ocean for the first time in your life?. Lucas asked.
- for the first time and probably the last time. Said Sisu looking first at the sight of water and then looking imploringly into the eyes of a man, a visitor from another world.
- Lucas, please, do. She tried to tell Sisu, to do, to convince the future never to happen, seeing the understanding and regret on the man's face, she knew that he was not evil, but only a slave to a future determined by someone else.
- I will take you to your friends under this great peak, surely your loved ones are worried about you. Lucas said and flew across the sky, away from the ocean, into the continent, and that again elicited a firm grip from the dragon's left paw.
- what happened. Lucas asked.
- Oh no. Said Sisu as her eyes saw a steel city on the horizon.
- what happened.
- this!, this city of steel, Lucas, is there really no other way, if you defeat the Golden Dragon, if you destroy it, whoever sees this cursed city will take its power, there will be no more light for our world. Sisu asked, looking imploringly into the newcomer's eyes.
Without a word, Lucas looked back at the sight of the steel city and ahead at the image of the granite peak, Lucas silently landed at its foot and stood next to Sisu hard on the ground, reflecting on everything he had already heard, but one thing was always the same.
- is it possible to fight the future, unless the future is a written page, look at this, I know some stories from my world, Macbeth, the oracle prophesied to him that when he removes the king, he will take over the power but soon he will die at the hands of the rebels, despite the warning he did it, he removed king and not so later the rebels removed him. Lucas said, looking exclusively at the horizon where the Empress's steel fortress was looming.
- there was this Oedipus, the oracle predicted that he would hurt the family so he ran away from home but he didn't know that he was adopted and his real parents also knew the prophecies so it happened that he returned to his real home and everything ended in tragedy, at the end there was an oracle that warned the newcomer that break a vase, and that's what the visitor did, did she know or provoked it anyway and the oracle had no choice, do any of us have a choice?, I don't think so. Lucas added, currently looking up at the sky where a strong roar rumbled as it turned out to be the approaching Golden Dragon.
Seeing the approaching dragon, Lucas was about to shoot the sky, but he was stopped by Sisu and her strong grip on the newcomer's hand.
- Is there really no other way?. Sisu asked, looking imploringly into the man's blue eyes.
Lucas was silent but what he did was strange, Lucas winked at her and soared into the sky and Sisu even when the screams of her relatives and family reached her ears, Sisu continued to look at the sky wondering about this strange gesture.
- Sisu, oh sister, how I was afraid!. Amba screamed as she hugged her sister.
- I thought that monster would kill you. Said Pengu also hugging his sister and his words suddenly shook Sisu who pushed her siblings away and looked at everyone looking at her with slight surprise.
- why would he hurt me. Sisu asked nervously.
- after what he did on the mountain. Raya said quickly.
- he kicked us without any effort. Said Lao Bin while looking at Sisu then at the sky.
He tore us to pieces. Said Flamus standing at the head of the guardian dragons now deprived of their mission.
- I don't know, this newcomer also successfully kicked our opponents, oh it was beautiful to see the frustration of this assassin, Pelona finally met a better one than herself. Said Namaari probably the second seeing the newcomer not the enemy.
- exactly that, thank you Namaari, he, this newcomer, Lucas Nowak, is not our enemy, we attacked him first and he defended us against the steel legionnaires, he took me on the most wonderful trip to the ocean. Said Sisu in a slightly dreamy voice.
- and now he's going to defeat the Golden Dragon. Said Nitor Hazin looking up at the sky with Lana Wina, Little Noi and Boun standing behind him.
- and I don't think we're going to do anything. Lana Wina said terrified.
- it means it's over!, no it's impossible. Little Noi said stepping back until she stopped on Tuk Tuk who, like krun Win, was shivering slightly as he looked up at the sky with everyone.
- You can call me crazy but I feel that it won't end like that. Said Sisu with the last spark of hope in her heart.
And everything is now and only in the hands of the Golden Dragon and the newcomer heading to meet each other.

Is an ordinary man really able to decide his fate, does destiny rule it, what is needed to overcome one's own fate, oneself, to be the master of one's fate by force of will, is what is written immutable, or even the Golden Dragon he was limited in his own way writing the prophecy of his doom, which is necessary.
