Infinite Paths: The Raging Phoenix

The planet itself, had a pale yellow hue, dominated the horizon. The planet's atmosphere, was predominantly consisting of hydrogen and helium… Rain could tell that since he couldn't breath all of a sudden. In the sky, he could bands of swirling clouds, giving the planet a distinctive appearance. The cloud layers on that planet were intricate, forming elaborate patterns and storms in the distance…

The sky was dark, with the distant sun appearing as a small, faint point of light due to the greater distance from the planet to it. The view lacked the blue sky and familiar stars that he usually could see in the night sky.

The environment on that planet's surface was inhospitable, consisting mainly of gas and lacking a solid or liquid surface.

Being composed mainly of gas giants, there is no solid ground to stand on; at least that was what Rain thought when he saw the border of the floating island he was on, he found himself enveloped in a thick atmosphere, experiencing immense atmospheric pressure and high temperatures.

"Welcome to my vacation home. It is a bit far away from that planet, but traveling costs and time are minimal when you can teleport yourself back and forth."

Rain turned around when he felt a presence as soon as he heard that voice on his mind. Rain saw the dragon god—a colossal hydra, towering at a staggering two hundred meters, defying the very laws of physics and giving the middle finger toward it as well.

The creature boasted nine heads, each adorned with a distinct color, while the final two were notably white and black. What sent shivers down Rain's spine was the eerie sight of each head sporting a peculiar, creepy smile.

Despite its immense size and the multiple heads, the creature's body resembled that of a typical western dragon, primarily colored in shades of brown. The juxtaposition of the ordinary dragon body with the extraordinary hydra heads only added to the weird spectacle.

The vivid display of different-colored heads, each with its own enigmatic grin, created an unsettling yet mesmerizing image. It was as though the creature derived a sinister amusement from the unfolding events, its unsettling smile radiating an aura of unfathomable power and cryptic intentions.

"It seems that you cooled down your head a bit. Although you are only a human now, you do understand what I am, right?" The dragon god asked. "So, you should understand why you need to die, that world is too small for both of us."

"... You are from Earth," Rain said after he created a wind barrier.

"From Earth? I guess it can't be helped since you are only a human… it is almost a pity, though." The dragon god frowned with all of its heads. "You only lived for two decades and your brain is that small. I guess I was the one who got lucky them."

Rain didn't like the attitude of that asshole, but he couldn't have expected anything less from the dragon god who also came from Earth. He probably lived for thousands of years and as dragon as well, could only see as an insignificant ant.

"We never left Earth, though?" The dragon god asked. "Now that I think about it, it took me one hundred years to realize that since the moon looks different."

"... What?" Rain asked after blinking several times. "That isn't Earth… what are your goals by saying that?"

"I could explain you a few things, but wouldn't be more fun to just kill you while you are completely astonished?" The dragon god asked. "Well, I can at least tell you that we are on Saturn, doesn't the environment looks familiar?"

Rain experienced an intense sense of disbelief and astonishment as the realization dawned upon him—he was standing on Saturn's. The peculiar line he initially saw in the sky wasn't a mere marking; it was the majestic and iconic system of rings encircling the planet.

Gazing upwards, Rain's eyes widened in utter shock as he beheld the stunning rings of Saturn. The rings, consisting of countless particles of ice and rock, arched across the sky in a breathtaking display. They spanned a vast expanse, encircling the planet like a radiant belt, casting a mesmerizing and surreal glow.

The overwhelming realization that he was standing on the surface of a celestial body, witnessing the grandeur of Saturn's rings firsthand, left Rain in a state of awe and disbelief. If he was in Saturn… could it be that he lived on Earth all along, but perhaps in the future or in the past? He couldn't say at all. Read latest chapters at My Virtual Library Empire

"Wow, you don't really don't know anything, Jon Snow," The dragon god said.@@novelbin@@

The meteor attacks… the choice of words and that sentence… Rain was certain that the dragon god was someone who was alive at the same time on Earth. Thanks to that, it became clear why he wanted Rain dead… he found it troublesome as well the existence of someone who knew his secret, it was completely understandable.

What wasn't understandable was the fact that this fucker killed dozens of thousands for it.

Rain clenched his teeth and ignored the dragon god's words… he immediately used the power of the ring to absorb all the heat around… Rain could feel his cells being poisoned by radiation since the atmosphere in that world was thin, but that was the minor of his problems right now.

"Oh? You want to fight me using that kind of technique?" The dragon god smiled. "How cutely naive."

All of a sudden, astark shift swiftly overtook the surroundings. The once ambient heat dissipated rapidly, replaced by an ominous chill that seemed to seep into every corner. The dragon god's power voraciously devoured the heat, leaving an eerie, bone-chilling coldness in its place.

The temperature plummeted abruptly, stealing away the warmth that Rain carried with him. The frigid air enveloped him in a vice-like grip, robbing the surroundings of any semblance of heat. Each breath he exhaled materialized into misty clouds, a visible testament to the sudden drop in temperature.
