My Beautiful Disciples, I'm really not the Main Character!

Eren's transformation continued as he absorbed the essence of the Celestial Dragon's heart.

The power that was infiltrating his bloodline felt intoxicating, as if he was getting more and more drunk on his power with each passing second.

For someone who used to drink quite a lot on earth, this wasn't an unfamiliar phenomenon. The only difference was that the amount of intoxication was too much.

He hadn't even finished half of Celestial Dragon's heart yet he had already become more drunk than he was ever in his life. He was even starting to feel a little light headed, his body starting to sweat.

As the last remnants of the heart vanished inside his mouth, Eren felt another change through his body. His senses expanded, reaching out far beyond the confines of the floor.

He was able to see through the carnage of the other floors. The first floor was the only place that looked somewhat intact, if one was to ignore the walls that he had broken while chasing after the Celestial Dragon's Soul.

He was able to see the Sea Dragon Empress who was still trying to find her way through the maze after having been sent to a different part of the maze by the Celestial Dragon's Soul.

The new ability, Ruler of the Oceans, had also become a part of him as the new perfected Celestial Dragon. The Ocean had become a part of his domain. As long as he was within the ocean, all his abilities were stronger than they were on the land.

He could feel the ocean's vastness within his heart, its depths calling to him. It was something that felt both alien and familiar. The power to command the sea was at his fingertips, being the biggest gift he had recieved from the Celestial Dragon's heart.

It was also this ability that had made the Celestial Dragon so formidable in the past. If the Celestial Dragon's Soul was in the ocean, he was certain that he would've had a harder time to deal with it.

"The person who brought the heart here on land... Did he already know it?" Eren wondered as he removed his transformation, leaving him standing amidst the empty floor where not even a single glimpse of the Celestial Dragon's heart could be found.

Eren wiped his lips clean, which still had some trace of blood. His eyes were still hazy as the world felt like it was shaking a little.

It was a feeling different from when he was hurt by spatial travel. It felt strange. It was not uncomfortable at all. If anything, he felt like he was floating in the air, his body feeling like it was in a perfect state.

He tried to regain his composure but it was proving extremely hard. He even used the Dragon Tongue but it was the same.

[Your Bloodline has entered a state of evolution]

[Time Remaining: 24 Hours]

[For the next twenty four hours, you might experience the side effects of evolution. It is advisable to not right during this time]

Eren heard some words appearing in his hand. The same words appeared on the screen in front of him, but he couldn't see them clearly. He felt as if the words were jumping out of the screen, dancing all around him.

"Is this hallucination? What a strange side effect." He rubbed his forehead, thinking if he should sleep for the next twenty four hours.

In his current state of mind, he didn't feel like it was the right choice to meet the Sea Dragon' Empress.

He sat back on the ground, resting his back against the wall. After closing his eyes, he tried to sleep.

The more he tried to sleep, the more restless his mind became. He was also able to feel another change in his body. His heartbeat had increased, and his body had also reacted strangely.

He opened his hazy eyes and looked down at his body, sighing, "Couldn't you find a better time to get excited?"

He took a deep breath and closed his eyes again. For close to an hour, he felt delirious. It was as if he was sleeping, but awake at the same time. Everything felt like a dream that he could consciously control.

He didn't know how long he stayed in a state like that. It was only when he heard the sound of footsteps, he opened his hazy eyes.

In the distance, he saw Xiu Ying walking towards him.

"Another dream, huh." Eren shook his head lightly, watching Xiu Ying observe the room.

"Did you find the Celestial Dragon's Heart?" she asked Eren.

Eren didn't think much about it either. It was his dream, so it made sense for Xiu Ying to know about his goal in coming here.

"It is a part of me now." Eren placed his hand on his chest lightly. "From now on, I am the Celestial Dragon."

Xiu Ying looked at Eren silently. It was impossible to comprehend just what she was thinking about. She simply looked at Eren, his mind being at a loss.

"In that case, there is no other choice." She closed her eyes and took a deep breath, as if trying to calm herself.

She walked closer to Eren who still thought that he was in a dream, not realizing that the person in front of him wasn't Xiu Ying but an entirely different woman.

Her expressions were a little hesitant as if she was scared a little. At the same time, she appeared embarrassed.

"To break the seal, I have to..." She opened her eyes that looked more determined now.

Now that Eren had become a Celestial Dragon, there were only two ways to break the seal. One was to kill him and take his heart. She didn't think that she was strong enough to select that option.

Moreover, with the Celestial Dragon on her side, the future of the Sea Dragons was extremely bright. Eren was already a descendant after all.

Taking his heart was no different than betraying the Celestial Dragons again which might lead her kin down the path of getting an even stronger seal.

The only option she had was to accept the Celestial Dragon's essence that he granted willingly. Once her shackles were broken, her people could also be free.
