Dragon King of Munetsuchi

**Dragon King of Munetsuchi** was one of the original Dragon Kings who lived in Underwater Munetsuchi Palace. He was known as the **White Dragon Emperor** (白竜 *Hakuryūtei*) before Gwiber. He is a very old dragon who appeared during the Great Dragonofication instigated by Infamous Blue and Great Red.

He was the adopted father of Ryujin and the Seven Lucky Gods, consisted of Benzaiten, Bishamonten, Daikokuten, Ebisu, Fukurokuju, Hotei, Jurojin. He ruled the Sea of Japan until Ryujin took over. A specific name is never given to him in any of the stories, so he is simply referred to as **Munetsuchi Dragon King**.

## Appearance

The Munetsuchi Dragon King was a light-colored, gigantic, bearded Dragon with feathery, angel-esque wings, and had two comparably small antlers protruding from the top of his head. Muntsuchi Dragon Kibg's underbelly was quite smooth, while the majority of his body, save for part of his feathery, windswept face, and his spine (which was adorned with a trail of hair that started from his head), was covered with thick scales.

Alternatively, the Dragon King of Munetsuchi could take on a humanoid form. In his human form, the Dragon King was an elderly man of relatively tall height with a very strong and defined build. Two of his most distinguishing traits were his round glasses and facial hair, which was arranged embattled across his lower jaw. He also had a scar over his right eye, which he had had for many years.

## Personality

The Munetsuchi Dragon King was a very selfless Dragon, having taken in and raised a young Benzaiten like he was his own daughter. Furthermore, Munetsuchi Dragon King opted to forfeit his own life solely for Benzaiten's future growth. The Dragon King of Munetsuchi was also a caring father figure to all of his adopted children and has made sure that they've all received proper education and care in his palace. When greeting Benzaiten he seems to prefer calling her 'Nara-chan', which can translate to 'flower from heaven'. It's said that Benzaiten 'inherited' the Munetsuchi Dragon King's love for mortal games.

## History

### Origin

Around the time of Creation, a mysterious event known as the **Great Dragonofication** occured within all mythological factions. Dragon scales rained down from above and descended into the just-formed realms of the Primordial Entities. It was later revealed that it was something planned by Infamous Blue to spread the dragon race into other factions. The scaled slowly absorbed the divine energies around themselves creating numerous hybridical dragons that had some mixed heritage. They differed from Great Red's creations in their divine energy. One such mixed dragon was the Dragon King of Munetsuchi, who became the first dragon in Shinto. Amenominakanushi believed he might be an inflitrator of his lands so he intended to cut him down. However, the Munetsuchi Dragon King killed an Old One that was terrorizing one of the Senju Grounds of Takamagahara, creating a crater that was slowly filled by water and that place would later be known as Munetsuchi. The dragon also healed the wounds of the minor Kami who had been attacked by the Old One. Witnessing this, Amenominakanushi changed his mind about the dragon and befriended him instead. With a swipe of His hand, a grand palace materialized at the bottom of Munetsuchi and the Dragon King became a retainer of Amenominakanushi.

### Amagata Go

After Musubi's 'death', the failure of Amatsu-Mikaboshi's Rebirth created the Omukade and Amagata Go. Dragon King of Munetsuchi hunted down the Amagata Go dragon, while his best friend Ao Guang defeated the Omukade. Later, during the Takamagahara's Tragedy, the two did the same thing.

### Cursed Flower of Heaven

The Munetsuchi Dragon King found a deformed child crying in a forest. He took the infant with him and raised it with kindness. That infant would later on become the Kami-Buddha Benzaiten.

### Amagata Go Mizuchi

The Yamikami used the Amagata Go Mizuchi beast to wreck havoc on Munetsuchi. Using the chaos, Suteko sneaked past the defense lines and murdered the Munetsuchi Dragon King. At the same time, Raijin and Fujin had taken out most of the guards in the palace and they almost killed Benzaiten, who was too shocked to realize she was being attacked. The Dragon King's powerful soul was consumed by Suteko, so he cannot ever meet Takami-Musubi and traverse the **Death Staircase**.

## Powers and Abilities

**White Dragon King Magic** (白の滅竜魔法 *Haku no Metsuryū Mahō*): The Munetsuchi Dragon King was an expert in using elemental pillars and he taught his adoptive children how to do it, as well.

**Dragon Soul Technique** (魂竜の術 *Konryū no Jutsu*): The Munetsuchi Dragon King used this ability to conceal his soul and Magic Power inside Munetsuchi Palace, which preserves his life force, as well as providing stealth for if someone wants his head. This ability was also used the Munetsuchi Dragon King to travel 4000 years into the future.

**Senjutsu Master**: The Dragon King of Munetsuchi had mastered Senjutsu, too and could even cancel out attacks from one of the Kotoamatsukami.

* **Touki**: The Munetsuchi Dragon King was a master in Touki to the point where he had no problems dealing with opponents of ultimate-class strength such as the devil Asmodeus who once tresspassed on the sacred grounds of Takamagahara. According to onlookers, the fight lasted shorter than the amount of time it took a rain drop to hit the ground.

**Elemental Magic:** The Munetsuchi Dragon King was well versed in all elemental types of Magic, including Pagan variations. It is said that after Asmodeus' defeat her friend Leviathan sent a gigantic sea beast to attack the Eastern Kingdom. With his surramountous control over elemental ley lines, the Dragon King gathered an electrified blizzard at Hayakanai Coast, which froze and broke the beast apart before it could set fet in the Eastern Kingdom.

**Culinary Skills**: The Dragon King of Munetsuchi was a highly skilled chef according to Umashiashikabihikoji. He thought the stew the Dragon King had prepared for dinner smelled delicious. It's said all of his children are good chefs due to his teachings, with Benzaiten being one of the very best in the world.

**Flight**: Being a Dragon, he possessed the ability to fly through the air using his wings.

**Immense Strength**: As the Original White Dragon Emperor before Gwiber, the Munetsuchi Dragon King was a fierce dragon who clear a forest with a single blast. His strength was so great during his youth that even the Kotoamatsukami were slightly wary of him upon his arrival in Takamagahara for the first time. Even old and sick, Suteko had to come up with a deceitful strategy to assure his assassination was 100% succesful.

**Immense Durability**: The Munetsuchi Dragon King took a Magou Yami Kuragami blast head-on and was still standing, though with a significant portion of his torso gone.

## Equipment

**Nine Elemental Pillars**: The Munetsuchi Dragon King had installed nine elemental pillars to make his palace a secure place. What they did is a bit of a mystery, though it can be speculated that one of the pillars obscured the location of Munetsuchi in illusions, another empowered the residents and a third acted as a self-destruct bomb in case the Munetsuchi Dragon King was killed.
