Chapter 1267: Sudden chaos, rejected by the planet
Arc Strada continent...
A continent with the shape of a dragon taking flight.
The continent is largely divided into five factions.
At the center of the continent is the heart of the dragon, Lautreamont knightdom, a nation famed as the nation that breeds dragons.
South of the knightdom is the torso of the dragon, the center of faith for Lautreamont knightdom is the Chevron Kingdom.
North of the knightdom and kingdom is the head of the Dragon, an empire known for its mastery of engineering and magical studies, Zepharos empire.
West of the continent is the tail of the dragon, there were multiple smaller countries here until they formed an alliance of 7 metropolises and 16 cities, the Labrock Commercial Union.
North West of the continent is the wing of the dragon, Espada Holy Agency.
Those are the five major powers of this continent.
Granted, the relationships between these world powers differed.
There are winners and there are losers. At the end of the day, factions, big or small, answered to the five world powers.
For example, Lautreamont might be the heart of the continent but it answers to Chevron kingdom as it is the center of faith for the Knightdoom.
Indeed, Lautreamont is in a weak position.

It is a country that had the most dragon population in the world.
As the country famed for rearing dragons, it, along with the other factions will soon face turmoil.
Astral.
That is the energy of this universe. It is something akin to life force or qi. It is the life force of the living things in this universe.
Aside from humans, there are supernatural existences too.
One of them, the dragons.
They resembled dragons of western epics.
Just like the dragons of calamities in various epics, these dragons have tremendous power. But...
They cannot produce Astral to sustain themselves.
The planet itself somehow deemed lifeforms with enormous powers a threat and cut off Astral supplies to these lifeforms, effectively deleting them from existence.
This is probably the planet\'s self-cleansing at work.
The powerful dragons became obsolete lifeforms of an era long gone.
Without Astral supplies, the dragons died off one by one.
The only way for them to survive is to somehow get Astral. Eventually, the dragons faced extinction along with other magical races.
Facing extinction, the magical lifeforms started looking at the only lifeforms that escaped this apocalyptic scenario due to their inherent inept magical aptitude, the humans. Born with extremely high levels of Astral, the dragons eventually entered what is known as the Albion pact with the humans.
Humans envied the dragons\' powers while the dragons wanted to survive. So, they agreed to one deal.
In exchange for Astral, they can plant Star brands on worthy humans and implement something similar to a magical circuit on humans. The Dragons will feed off their hosts\' Astral.
The humans can command the dragons they are contracted to. The dragons have to lend their abilities to their hosts.
This symbiotic relationship between humans and dragons came into existence, making them a special existence on the planet.
Not everyone is worthy. But, this planet did have humans and dragons living together.
This came about because of Astral.
Dragons can get Astral from humans while humans get help from dragons.
That is the bond between humans and dragons in Lautremont Knightdom.
However, the Astral of this planet became disrupted on this day.
There was a disturbance in the Astral...
Only the ones with Astral and those bonded dragons can see this.
The world is changing...
Humans...
Dragons...
Flowers...
Forests...
The land...
The sea...
Tiny luminous orbs of coalesced Astral rose from the planet and the lifeforms on it. Like bees in a frenzy, the orbs of energy converged into a giant maelstrom of power.
Those who could see Astral felt terror when the lifeforce driving the planet converged into a storm all of a sudden.
What is going on?
Dragons and humans became incredibly weak after being drained of their Astral. Every living thing trembled in uncertainty.
Is the world ending?
The humans and dragons thought the same thing.
The various beings of immense power that could live temporarily without constant Astral supply looked up at the swirling Astral storm with various thoughts in their minds.
There are only a few who could stay calm when faced with this doomsday phenomenon.
One of them is an entity standing in the middle of a dense forest.
She is a dragon.
With green fur and white scales, the giant dragon appeared grand and majestic.
Lifting its giant head to look at the Astral hurricane. In a green flash, the entity shrunk in size until she resembled a humanoid.
She is an incredibly beautiful woman.
She looked at the storm with a mix of fear, greed, shock, and other complex emotions.
"What an incredible amount of Astral..."
The woman murmured.
"If the dragons have that then we wouldn\'t need humans for a long time."
The woman realized her foolish words. She adjusted her emotions before asking the real question.
"The very Astral of the planet is in a state of chaos. Even the Astral within lifeforms were withdrawn?"
"Earth, what are you doing?"
"This scene..."
The woman hypothesized.
"To reject an unimaginably powerful magical entity, the planet summoned Astral to resist the birth of this entity? This is the resistance of the planet?"
The woman realized the implications of her theory.
"Just what kind of creature would possess magic so potent and powerful that the planet itself had to conjure up so much Astral to reject it?"
The planet inherently rejected beings of immense magical powers.
It is like the passive ability of the planet, it happened automatically.
This reaction is almost like an equal reaction to an explosive chemical chain reaction.
This is the truth of the disturbance in Astral.
Wu Yan was unaware that the planet itself greatly disliked his transcript world trip this time.
Yes, the planet is trying to reject his manifestation.
