So... Hak solos them right? Either that or Soo-Won gets a sacrifice redemption.

What I don't quite understand is how the dragon deities went mad/lost their powers.
I suspect that it has to do with both how many Dragon warriors there have been up to this point & the fact Zeno is the only yellow dragon warriors.
I think the contract is something like they are bound to the heavens or something and by creating so many dragon warriors (all the clans) they essentially drained their blood trying to look for the Crimson dragon.
Though the yellow dragon actually descended. Both allowing him to limit the amount of blood he gave out & try to find the Crimson dragon.

The dragon gods are tainted gods at this point except the yellow one as he has been by red dragon side all this time.

Sounds like a possibility, but the Yellow Dragon specifically says the other dragon deities broke their covenants multiple times. I would think that maintaining a legacy of warriors would maintain rather than break that pact.

I hope we get some clarification.

Trying to mess with the Thunder Dragon? In your dreams.

Those dragon gods are worse than even the worst of possessive exes.

I'm... probably the only one who feels bad for the dragon gods haha,,, It's not okay what they're doing to someone they claim to love, but I can't help but pity them.

So my previous assumption was correct. The Yellow Dragon Kami was nothing more than an observer, able to affect nothing beyond the vessel within it resided.

This does make me wonder how the dragon deities were able to create the dragon warriors in the first place, but that's beside the point.

What I don't quite understand is how the dragon deities went mad/lost their powers. Was part of their covenant with their respective dragon warriors to not interfere or forcibly bring "Hiryuu" back to the heavens, a condition they broke the moment Yona entered the chalice? Or, while the Yellow Dragon resided in its chosen warrior, able to watch the mortal world go by, the rest of the dragon deities grew as desperate as a kid with ADHD in an empty room, slowly making "amendments" to their covenant that were, in fact, breeches of the contract? I'd rather like some clarification.

But it does look like we're at a stalemate at this point. Yona and company can't leave without the approval of the remaining dragon deities. Base on my understanding of this chapter, the dragon deities have maybe the tiniest sliver of their original powers and, outside of the kingdom losing divine protection, have no ability to impact the mortal world, but they still insist Yona accept their unreasonable, half-mad terms.

Honestly, I know it would break a lot of elements of the story thus far, but I keep wanting Yona to reclaim the former powers of the Crimson Dragon and become a supernatural being if for no other reason than to wipe the floor with the beings that keep standing in her way. XD

Oh well.
I think the whole solution of this will be related to the Crimson Dragon!


It just occurred to me that maybe it's necessary for Suwoon to be there too or something? Yona is the one who has the soul, she's the reincarnation and who is recognized as the Crimson Dragon, but Suwoon is the one who has the dragon's blood that transformed into a human, even if it is diluted, he is the descendant. Also, I find it weird that he really hasn't helped much and isn't that involved in the conflict, at least not with Yona, when he probably has a redemption arc before the end.
