Chapter 208 The Dragon Slayer Becomes the Dragon
Accompanied by a muffled hum from an amplifier, a brand new throne slowly rose from beneath the dark floor.
It is made entirely of some kind of unknown black crystal, resembling the deepest night sky, yet its surface flows with a nebulous dark purple radiance.
The throne has an extremely high back, with a ferocious yet majestic crown relief carved at the top.
The armrests are two coiled bone dragons, their heads protruding forward, their empty eye sockets seemingly burning with ghostly fire.
Most importantly, its size has finally returned to "normal".
It's no longer the three or four-meter-high benches; the table is now about half a meter high and one meter wide.
"That's more like it," Chen You muttered to himself.
Now that's what a proper throne looks like.
As the holder of the mythical mission, this was clearly specially prepared for him, the new king.
It seems this system also wants to improve.
He stepped forward slowly, each step carrying a hint of doubt and anticipation.
What will happen if you sit on it?
Directly unlock hidden skills?
Could it be that his soul has been corrupted and he's turned into some kind of "filial piety son"?
He finally reached the throne, took a deep breath, cleared his mind of all distractions, and then—
He plopped down on his bottom.
The expected dizzying world, dazzling golden light, and the profound sounds of the Great Dao... were nowhere to be found.
The throne was very comfortable, with a cool touch that carried a hint of warmth, like some kind of warm jade.
then……
And that was the end of it.
One second, two seconds, ten seconds passed.
The main hall was deathly silent.
Chen You blinked and turned to look at the Shadow King, Dai, who stood respectfully to the side like a statue.
Unable to resist, he broke the awkward silence by speaking.
"and then?"
The massive body of Shadow King Dai trembled slightly, as if awakened from some kind of programmed waiting.
His two crimson points flashed briefly, and he said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, please put on your crown."
The voice of Shadow King Dai, carrying a certain ritualistic quality, began to chant with intonation and rhythm.
"Once you don the crown, you will no longer be a mortal, nor a member of this world..."
Chen You raised an eyebrow and immediately interrupted, "Stop, stop, stop! Why do these lines sound so familiar?"
He couldn't help but roll his eyes inwardly.
"Hey Xiao Dai, where did you copy this from? Did you pay the copyright fee? What if you get sued?"
Shadow King Dai choked for a moment, his massive body stiffening instantly.
"Your Majesty, please understand! This...this is narration assigned to me by the system, not something I made up!"
His tone carried a hint of grievance.
"Your Majesty's words are also unbecoming of Your Majesty's noble status, and are too... old-fashioned."
"Alright, alright, shut up for now." Chen You waved his hand, signaling it to shut up.
He picked up the Shadow Crown; the cold metallic touch seemed to carry a heavy weight.
He took a deep breath silently, and without further hesitation, slowly placed the crown on his head.
In an instant, a cold and majestic aura spread outwards from Chen You in all directions!
The entire ultimate hall trembled violently, and countless intricate runes on the dome were instantly illuminated, outlining an ancient and mysterious star map.
Beneath the star map, dense shadow energy surged forth from the depths of the hall like a tide, converging on Chen You.
Black mist rises!
The shadow energy did not spread randomly, but rather, as if it had a life of its own, it rapidly condensed and shaped on his body.
First, his original robes were covered, then his shoulder armor, breastplate, arm armor, and leg armor.
Finally, even his head was covered by a helmet with a hideous mask.
In just three seconds, a set of sleek, powerful dark full-body armor materialized on Chen You's body.
Fine purple currents flowed faintly across the armor, as if it could unleash a world-destroying power at any moment.
The mask completely covered his face, leaving only his eyes, which resembled two deep stars, radiating a captivating, eerie light.
This isn't just wearing a crown, it's practically a "one-click outfit change"!
And it's the top-tier mythic set!
Chen You felt the surging power within his body, as well as the smooth feeling of the armor perfectly matching his spiritual power.
He could even feel that the armor was an extension of his body, with every joint incredibly flexible and without the cumbersome feeling of traditional armor.
At the same time, a system notification that only he could hear exploded in his mind like a thunderclap:
[Ding! Congratulations! You have been successfully crowned and are now officially the "Shadow King"!]
You have triggered a special event—[Reign Supreme]! Please prepare!
To rule the world?
That sounds really impressive.
"Is this finally getting serious?"
Chen You wondered what kind of big boss was coming, and he prepared for battle.
The magnificent final hall, the reverently standing Shadow King Dai, and even the throne beneath him.
They all faded and blurred in an instant, eventually turning into a pure dark background.
Immediately afterwards, a light purple interface with a high-tech feel slowly unfolded in front of him.
At the top of the screen is a title: [King's Incarnation].
Below the title is a 3D model that looks exactly like him at this moment.
Clad in dark mythological armor and wearing a crown, his eyes gleamed with an eerie light, exuding an imposing aura.
On the right side of the model, there are rows and rows of densely packed options and parameter bars.
[Avatar Form: Default (Shadow Monarch)]
[Halo Effect: (+)]
[Domain Effect: (+)]
Body type settings: (+)
……
Chen You's eyelids twitched violently.
Good guy!
You took your pants off, and this is what you show me?
Isn't this the legendary... face-customization plus version?
Or is it the kind with skin effects and exclusive skills?
He tentatively clicked the plus sign option next to "Halo Effect".
"Whoosh!"
A drop-down menu pops up, displaying a dazzling array of options.

His lips twitched involuntarily.
Wow, so that's how you play!
He suppressed the urge to complain and clicked on the [Domain Effect] again.
