Supuha Volcano, the portal.

Severely injured, Ivy scrambled to the edge of the cliff above the lava, her bloodshot eyes gazing down at the sea of ​​flames.

Rachel knelt beside her, as if her soul had been ripped away.

Evie grabbed Rachel's arm and screamed frantically, "He's not dead! Tell me, he's not dead!"

Rachel lowered her head sadly, remaining silent.

Evie wept bitterly, her fingernails digging deep into the cracks in the rock, blood seeping into the soil, but she didn't notice.

Rachel looked up at the sky, and amidst the boundless crimson, a wisp of pale blue caught her eye.

She stood up, looked up at the top of the volcano, and said to Ivy, "Look, what's that?"

Tears streaming down her face, Ivy looked up, but could see nothing.

Rachel opened her eyes wide and said, "A blue light fell from the sky, can't you see it?"

Ivy strained to see, but still couldn't see anything.

Countless pale blue particles gathered to form a beautiful aurora, drifting in from the distant north.

They are as beautiful and mysterious as the Milky Way, flowing down the sky into the crater and slowly falling into the magma underground.

This pale blue galaxy flowed continuously into the magma, turning the originally blazing flames into a tranquil blue.

Rachel stared in astonishment at the blue lava below the cliff, frozen in place as if by magic.

A moment later, a bunch of huge bubbles rose from the bottom of the lava, and the blue color became brighter and brighter, as if the whole lava had become a pot of boiling water.

Amidst this strange phenomenon, a nearly ten-meter-long, translucent, pale blue dragon claw slowly emerged from the surface of the magma.

The dragon claw no longer has any physical flesh and bones; it is entirely composed of ethereal matter, like a creature from another dimension.

Evie gripped Rachel's leg tightly, asking incredulously, "It's him?"

While wiping her eyes, Rachel exclaimed joyfully, "It's him!"

First, there was a giant claw.

Then came the other one.

Finally, an enormous dragon head slowly rose from the lava, occupying most of the space in the volcanic cave.

Two blazing, eerie blue flames filled the dragon's eye sockets.

Rachel stretched out her trembling hands, looked at the figure before her, and asked softly, "Todd?"

The dragon spoke; its voice did not exist in this world, yet it was clear enough for everyone to hear.

"I am with everyone."

Rachel asked, puzzled, "Everyone?"

Dragon: "Countless souls forged this body together. I am with them... we are all together."

The dragon slowly lowered its head, and through the two burning blue flames, Rachel seemed to vaguely see a world she had never seen before.

Dragon: "Get ready, we will end all of this soon."

Turning its head toward the portal, the dragon said again, "Death must be stopped, and chaos will eventually subside."

Under the watchful eyes of Evie and Rachel, the Soul Dragon transformed into a beam of light and vanished into the teleportation portal in an instant.

On Earth, the White Hole in downtown Las Vegas suddenly burst into a massive flash of light.

Pale blue particles, resembling ocean waves, surged out of the white hole, momentarily obscuring the city's sky.

Major Cole is organizing the evacuation of troops from the infected area.

They started the car and continued towards Clemens, Liz, and Alice at the Ship Mountain camp.

Almost all the survivors under the sky saw that pale blue sea of ​​stars at the same time.

Those pale blue particles of light floating in the air condensed, assembled, and shaped, eventually transforming into a giant dragon that covered the entire starry sky.

The dragon was so enormous that it enveloped the entire city of Las Vegas.

The soul dragon flapped its wings, and a pale blue particle storm instantly swept across the entire land.

These pale blue particles, like hurricanes, drifted at extremely high speeds to every corner of the city's periphery, eventually sinking into the soil, disappearing into buildings, and falling into lakes.

Whether living beings or undead, all were marked in the dragon's field of vision under the reflection of these pale blue particles.

Having surveyed everything below and identified its target, the dragon left the skies above Las Vegas and headed east.

It flew over Henderson, over Boulder, and finally came to rest over Lake Cavinia.

The soul dragon stopped in the sky above the lake.

It opened its enormous mouth, and countless pale blue particles drifted in from all directions, all converging in the air above it.

The blue light emanating from the dragon's mouth grew stronger and stronger, and from a distance, its brightness vaguely resembled that of a blue sun.

With a faint cracking sound coming from the space, a blue beam of light large enough to cover the entire football field burst forth from the dragon's mouth and shot straight into the lake.

In an instant, the entire lake surface began to churn, and everything in the center of the pillar of light—whether it was the lake water, fish and shrimp, or boats and rocks—was sucked into the virtual space, forming a hollow, other-dimensional space.

A huge whirlpool appeared on the vast lake, and the entire lake surface was dropping at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Within minutes, the lake had dried up, the islands had turned into mountains, and the lake had become a depression.

A massive black figure slowly revealed its true form in the receding lake water.

The Necromancer Mother writhed in the silt at the bottom of the lake while letting out angry shrieks at the giant dragon in the sky.

It spread its bony wings on its back, and countless undead parasites crawled into the gaps in the bony wings, stitching them together into huge black insect wings.

The Necromancer flapped its bone wings, and its body, which had been resting at the bottom of the lake, slowly floated into the air, drifting little by little.

In the star-studded night sky, a giant dragon made of pale blue particles and a mother creature covered in undead parasites finally confronted each other.

All living things around Lake Cavinia, whether human or undead, raised their heads and looked up at the sky.

The near-space satellites orbiting the Earth also transmitted this astonishing scene to every corner of the world in real time.

Humanity all over the world witnessed this breathtaking moment through blurry images.

Some people think it's just a Hollywood movie set, while others believe it's a malfunction in the satellite imagery.

Only a small number of people can understand the meaning behind this battle.

In a deep underground shelter beneath the Pentagon in Washington, D.C., a group of solemn-looking people are staring intently at a screen.

These people were once the core of this country, but now they are a group of survivors hiding underground, living in constant fear.

They clearly understood that all of humanity's hopes rested on this mysterious dragon.
