Chapter 42 The Abyss Overlord, the Shadow Dragon! It has hatched!
Looking at the pop-up data panel, Yu Xiao was a little confused.
Did it eat its own dragon scales?
But most importantly...
"Although all my attributes and abilities have been greatly improved, the hatching time of the Shadow Dragon has also been greatly shortened..."
Thinking of this, Yu Xiao frowned.
Before this door was opened, the Shadow Dragon still had more than 40 minutes to hatch, and now...
With a serious expression, Yu Xiao turned to look at An Ming beside him.
Just as I was about to say something.
It's gotten colder again!
"Look out the window! It's completely dark now!"
"It's only afternoon, but it's already like midnight?"
"It wasn't just a bone-chilling cold that I felt throughout my body; most importantly, I vaguely heard ghostly wails and howls?"
"What exactly happened?"
A group of male researchers in white coats looked out the window in a panic.
Upon hearing this, Yu Xiao shut his mouth and looked out the window.
next second.
"It's practically pitch black here..."
"And what's more, you can see lightning flashing intermittently amidst the dense, dark clouds overhead?"
Yu Xiao's eyes widened instantly.
Is this real? Day turning into night? It's just about to hatch!
There was no time to connect this scene with the Shadow Dragon's previous actions in his mind.
"No, no!"
"If this continues, the abyss may truly descend!"
Yu Xiao took a deep breath and walked towards the dragon egg.
...
At the thirtieth second, a group of researchers gasped in shock at the apocalyptic scene.
At the twenty-eighth second, several researchers who were not physically strong collapsed to the ground, unable to withstand the cold.
In the twenty-fifth second, more and more researchers fell to the ground, while other physically strong researchers huddled in the corner, their lips trembling.
The twentieth second.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Two-thirds of the way from the table, in Yu Xiao's view, the heaters seemed to be unable to hold on any longer and burst open.
The fifteenth second.
As layers of frost spread across the various scientific instruments in the room, the entire research institution went on high alert.
The fifth second.
Yu Xiao's line of sight caught a series of military vehicles driving into the research base.
"Snap! Snap!"
The dragon egg placed on the platform had cracks appearing on its surface.
As the cracks widened like a spider web, the entire dragon egg began to shake violently.
The last second.
As the steel gates opened to both sides, several men in uniforms leaped in.
Yu Xiao reached out his hand to the broken dragon egg.
next moment.
In the final second before its birth, sensing the caress of its sovereign, the Shadow Dragon was utterly invigorated.
Meanwhile, the Shadow Dragon's inner elation gradually subsided.
After things calmed down, the Shadow Dragon sensed your dissatisfaction with him.
Feeling it had done something wrong, the Shadow Dragon quickly withdrew its energy.
"really……"
Looking at the pop-up data panel, Yu Xiao sighed with a mixture of regret and satisfaction.
Good news: I can still control the true dragon and make it disperse its energy, preventing it from destroying the world.
Bad news: It seems it's too late...
Yu Xiao was conflicted.
"Hmm? The shivering and cold that spread throughout my body has disappeared?"
An Ming was stunned.
Although it was still gloomy outside the window, the surroundings seemed to have recovered? It was just a little colder than before?
But before Anming could even form this thought...
"Snap! Snap! Snap!"
In Anming's pupils, the dragon egg cracked piece by piece.
...
Yu Xiao had thought about what the Shadow Dragon looked like many times.
After all, the title of the Abyss Overlord, Shadow Dragon, sounds intimidating.
But Yu Xiao truly never imagined it...
"Is this really a Shadow Dragon?"
Yu Xiao was quite astonished to see the creature that had emerged from the dragon egg.
What came into his view was a creature with pinkish skin and big, round eyes, resembling a teacup dog.
If it weren't for the pair of pink wings on his back and the pink tail on his rear, Yu Xiao would never have dared to associate him with the Shadow Dragon.
Yu Xiao was still in a daze.
"Roar~ Roar~"
The Shadow Dragon's large, round eyes rolled around, and then it let out a joyful cry.
Hearing this noise.
"Um... I felt a heavy pressure the moment I heard that voice... It's definitely a real dragon..."
Yu Xiao came to his senses.
Yes, the dragon's roar is real, and the egg is real too...
I hesitated for a moment.
"But the way you are..."
Yu Xiao reached out his hand towards the Shadow Dragon with a strange look in his eyes.
But Yu Xiao's hand had only reached halfway into the air.
"Roar~ Roar~"
The Shadow Dragon roared with excitement.
Then, the Shadow Dragon turned around.
Looking at the already broken dragon egg in front of him, the Shadow Dragon tilted its head and its eyes rolled around.
Then, the Shadow Dragon walked up to the dragon egg.
next second.
"Crunch—crunch—"
The Shadow Dragon bit off a piece of the dragon egg and then ate it.
Seeing this scene.
"I knew the Shadow Dragon would most likely eat the dragon egg after hatching..."
Yu Xiao's lips twitched.
But what exactly is this dragon egg? Is there nutrition inside the dragon egg, or is the entire dragon egg nutritious?
...
Yu Xiao was deep in thought.
The Shadow Dragon devoured the dragon egg fragments very quickly, finishing off most of the egg in just a few seconds.
And then the Shadow Dragon swallowed the last fragment of the dragon egg.

"? All attributes have increased that much? And all abilities have increased as well?"
Looking at the pop-up data panel, Yu Xiao blinked.
Just then.
"Roar~"
A roar rang out.
Hearing the commotion, Yu Xiao turned his head to look.
next moment.
"What the hell?"
Looking ahead, Yu Xiao's expression froze instantly.
Because what appeared in front of Yu Xiao at this moment was not a pink teacup dog.
Instead, it was a completely transformed Shadow Dragon.
At this moment, the Shadow Dragon's entire body was covered with black and purple scales, which were arranged very neatly.
It has a pair of sharp horns on its head, and although its eyes are still large and round, they look majestic.
A faint, pure purple light could be seen seeping through the gaps in its scales.
It has thick limbs, sharp claws, semi-transparent wings, and a slender tail with a purple glow.
"This is the Shadow Dragon?"
Looking at the Shadow Dragon, which had completely changed its appearance, Yu Xiao blinked.
