After the Life Dragon King showed himself up, he tried to command his pawns to kill us, but my Aura made them so terrified that they could not even move.
Due to the strength of this Boss, I decided to be cautious and absorbed the bubble where my family was inside of my body, the Life Dragon King tried to attack me with a powerful electric shock, and I was worried if it could damage anyone, so I decided to defend myself by transforming into a sphere of armor and scales, I was immune to Thunder, but not all of my family. Better be cautious.
When its onslaught finished, I decided to release my Aura into a Domain, covering a large amount of space, which made the dungeon seems as if it has fallen into the night.
I decided to use the shapeshifting Skills that I had now, after the Assimilation and the Flesh Manipulation Skills merged, without any cooldown overusing them, I just mixed them alongside other Transformation Skills and molded myself into the shape of a dragon. Although the form was extremely far from a conventional dragon, I couldn't see myself in a mirror right now, but I was sure that I looked quite grotesque, to say the least.
I pounced towards the Dragon and used a series of Techniques with the large eight arms I had, each one wielding a Legendary Weapon, which I used to pierce through the giant Dragon hard scales, each one with the size of a medium-sized house. It could be said that its defenses were above Athos in this regard.
Its body was massive though, and even when it seemed to be related to Wind Dragons, it moved too slow, using its clouds and windstorms to move, he released its powerful Aura towards me several times, but my Domain was able to easily suppress and devour it slowly.
My family, who was currently inside of my flesh, granted me their Magic Points and Aura, enhancing my power even more. I could feel an immense surge of strength and energy, so I just went wild and began to tear apart the Dragon's flesh with the countless heads I had.
The Life Dragon King of Thunderstorms was quite the admirable adversary, but it wasn't as intelligent as Athos it seems, and it struggled in vain, even when it used every power it could fathom to throw me away, I had already entangled its long body with my own, shapeshifting it into a slime-like appearance, I inserted my venom into it as I inflicted several curses and other status effects, it couldn't regenerate either escape, with despair on its golden eyes, it saw as I devoured its flesh and munched its giant head into pieces.
I considered the idea of letting its soul be reincarnated again into the Dungeon to respawn later on, but seeing how it could respawn when we weren't here again, I decided to grab its Soul before it could be absorbed by the Dungeon and torn it apart, afterward, I ate the pieces.

I even obtained a remarkably interesting Skill from eating its Soul, so it was worth it in the end, even if in the future there won't be a strong boss like this one to grind every time it respawns.
The Ryujin was terrified after seeing all of these scenes unfold, and only kneeled and prayed for my benevolence to not kill them.
They were calling me a 'Dragon God' or something like that.
I decided to let them interact with my family first, specially Sofelaia and Sofarpia, so I released them in a flesh bubble from within my body, but the Ryujin praised them as if they were all my children.
They barely gave any attention to the Centaur Twins.
When I decided to descend, I used my Uroboros Soul to devour my own body as it would be too hard to absorb all the mass, I just created by just using my body itself. Thanks to [Pain Nullification], what could have been something painful and inhumane was very relaxing, but it felt quite weird.
After most of the mass that made out my giant body was eaten by my Soul, I went back to my usual Vampire Fairy appearance.
The Ryujin saw this as my 'human form', and when I descended into their settlement, they prayed to me.
Although I tried to stop them, they kept going and di not accept any other way of calling me.
This is honestly getting quite repetitive, why does everyone I get to know thinks I'm a Goddess?
I mean, I recognize my strength, but there should be other mortals as strong as me out there, right?
Well, these people have been isolated from the outside world for years, so I suppose it's understandable to think in such ways.
Hopefully, when I travel to the Feline and Canine Kingdoms, they don't treat me like a goddess, it would be too troublesome to raise too much attention, especially from enemy forces like Thanatos or the Central Continents.
Anyways, when things finally calmed down, the Chief of the Ryujin came to greet us.
Most Ryujin or East Dragon Centaurs, have slim humanoid upper bodies with thin claws resembling gauntlets as hands and scales over their back and shoulders. They have beautiful emerald or golden eyes, while coral-like horns made out of an emerald-like material decorate their foreheads. Their hair is usually in between white, black, and green.
Their lower halves are of long serpent-like dragons, only having the first pair of dragon legs in the form of large dragon claws, the rest of their lower body extends several meters into long green-scaled tails. Unlike the West Dragon Centaurs, their scales are thin and slim, shining brightly when receiving the light of the sun.
They are capable of moving like Lamias by using their long tails and slide like snakes, which most of them do, whenever they aren't floating in the air with their natural ability to fly without wings, granted to them by the large emerald orbs attached to their chests, these are their 'Wind Orbs'.
The Chief of the Ryujin was unlike most of his people. His upper body was not thin but burly and exuded a great manliness, with bulging muscles covered in rock-like scales, his shoulders also had large emerald horns. His lower half-dragon legs were strong as well, covered in countless rock-like scales, while his tail was thick and powerful.
He was an evolved race of Ryujin, as he was a respected warrior, he was deemed without talent over magic because he didn't possess a Wind Orb when he was born. So he trained his physical prowess to his limits and learned the way of the West Dragon Centaurs weapons and the training of their skin and scales endurance by making them go through hardships, like breaking them apart and then regenerating them constantly until they grew sturdy like steel.
He then evolved into an Armored Ryujin, due to his armor-like scales and then an Armored Ryujin Tyrant. After evolving, he gained the ability to use Wind Attribute Magic without any Wind Orb, and slowly became both good at physical fighting and magic manipulation. His name is Yinglong and he's also the father of several children.
”I welcome you, Dragon Goddess Kireina, to our humble village,” he said, kneeling like everyone else.
”Sigh… Yinglong, is it?”
”Yes, I am honored that the Dragon Goddess recognizes my name!”
”Well, I've come from the West Dragon Village, due to their instructions, I was able to find your Village… And by your God, Morpheus's request, I will bring you to my Empire as honored citizens!”
The Ryujin heard such words and became even more fanatic, there was an old Ryujin who began to create a stone statue of me immediately.
It was very awkward to speak to them so much, so I left a lot of the talk to Sofelaia and Sofarpia, who hugged their lost brothers just as they did with the previous Dragon Centaurs and the Kelpie.
”To be able to encounter with the Dragon Goddess Kireina and also with our lost siblings! This is truly a predestined day! Such gloriousness!”
”Our lost brethren!”
”Look, they're so fluffy as well…”
