Chapter 326 The Evolution Of The Lord
POV Vesuvius:
'It is time. My evolution should raise my stats and make my world bigger. I will continue building my palace after I finish my evolution.' The dragon fully submerged into lava and closed his eyes.
The burning hot temperature immediately relaxed his mind and body. He no longer wanted anything to distract him from increasing his power, the sneaky attacks putting him on high alert.
'My enemies can strike anytime and without any warning... I must always be at my peak strength, ready to defend myself and my kingdom.'
Ding!

[True Apocalypse Dragon Warlord]:
Description: A dragon lord of the apocalypse dragons that defied the norm and focused on commanding a force of lesser draconic species to war.
They have a pair of additional horns, the commander horns.
These horns are long and made of a gold-like substance. They grow from the top of their heads, signifying their stance as commanders of draconic armies. They allow them to link with their forces to freely extract and or infuse mana.
All the crystals growing on their bodies have evolved and were integrated into complex magic matrice, turning their body into super-powered relay for the mind, war, and legion magic. This relay can exploit blood connections between the soldiers and link them all into a massive network.
When connected to the network, their lesser kin will be engulfed in fighting mania while connecting their minds and mana pools, allowing them to fight and wage wars in perfect unison.
The dragons can draw power from their soldiers, increasing their stats and mana supply. Or they can use their power to empower their army, increase their defenses or replenish the mana of the soldiers.
The new set of horns with mind relay crystals and their magic allows them to innately cast draconified versions of the human war and legion magic. They use this magic to sync their casting with their armies to cast massive ritual spells. It can also be used to create massive barriers and shields to cover the army's advance.
In battle, they can use their command horns to infuse a soldier with divine energy, temporarily increasing their capabilities by a massive margin.
The dragon's domain will support and empower their allies.
[True Apocalypse Dragon Battlelord]:
Description: The variant of apocalypse dragon lord that evolved with a single purpose, war. They are fully evolved to fight head-on in the most brutal brawls.
The density of their musculature is much higher than usual for other variants of apocalypse dragons. This makes their bodies significantly smaller, nimbler, stronger, and much more aggressive looking.
They have gained the power to combine their life force, mana, and divine energy to give their bodies massive, short surges in power, increasing their agility and strength through the roof.
Their armor transformed from thick and bulky into sleek super-dense armor, giving them much higher flexibility while improving their defense. It closely fits their muscular bodies to not hinder their movement while also making their muscles much more pronounced.
Each of their cells and scales evolved to use techniques similar to mortal warriors allowing them to infuse any part of their bodies with elemental mana, life force, or divine energy instantaneously.
This can be used to either form barriers to deflect and absorb attacks, engulf their body parts in elements without the need to cast magic to empower their melee attacks, or perform special warrior moves defying their anatomy and musculature, allowing them to move and strike with impossible force and speed.
[Divine Apocalypse Dragon Lord]:
Description: The variant of apocalypse dragon lord that evolved to utilize their divine energy in more ways and a more efficient manner.
They have a small core next to their heart, allowing them to store up to three droplets of divine energy. This core is connected to a separate set of vein-like channels branching through their bodies. This allows them to preserve the purity and concentration of their divine energy as it will not get diluted by the mana flowing through their regular veins.
This makes all abilities using divine energy slightly more powerful and energy efficient.
The extra blood flows through the separate divine veins to help transport the divine energy. As a side effect, this increases the amount of circulated blood through the bodies, increasing their stamina, but also any bleeding injuries will be more severe.
This divine energy-charged blood contains around two droplets of divine energy, increasing the dragon's body's capacity to store it to six droplets.
These veins brightly glow in divine golden light that penetrates through the scales and armor, creating golden branching light patterns on the dragon's body.
A set of spiraling golden horns grows on their head to show their high status. These horns can be used to manipulate the divine energy outside of their body much easier and more efficiently.
[True Apocalypse Dragon Dimensional Lord] (Warning: There will be consequences) :
Description: An impossible variant of apocalypse dragon lord that used their vast knowledge of space magic to transform their bodies and soul, giving them affinity and power that should not belong to any dragon.
Their scales and armor transformed together with them and gained an unnatural ability to bend space around them to deflect or block attacks. This makes the light around them bend in unnatural ways, making the reality around them look distorted, like effects happening around black holes.
Their insight into space and draconic magic allowed them to fully fuse them together, fully utilizing their immense supply of mana and divine energy to cast their space magic. With their new space affinity, they can use space magic with much higher proficiency and in tandem with their special dragon organs.
The new domain over space elements gives their eyes the power to see pocket spaces and objects hidden outside the three dimensions. This domain is absolute and prevents anyone from manipulating space against them, making it impossible to teleport them against their will.
A space dragon's breath can twist and bend space to travel in impossible directions and ways. It can instantly skip over a long distance, striking enemies from behind, above, or underneath them.
Their natural weapons also transformed with their breath gaining an unusual ability to damage the space to create unexpected effects, and their claws got the power to cut through the space, ignoring defenses in their way.
The crystal wings on their back evolved to utilize their space magic to move naturally in impossible ways, each flap of their wings warping the space around.
