Tri-Zenith Dragon Gloria

The **Tri-Zenith Dragon Gloria**, code named **GLORY SELECT E.R.** (**GLORY** **SELECT** **E**ndless **R**outine), was a SUBM, the third of its kind to be released. It was dropped in the Kingdom of Altar.

## Appearance

Gloria was a huge dragon with golden scales, long necks, large wings and a four-spiked tail. As its title implies, it possessed three heads, each with different number of eyes and horns, the one-horned head on the right has three eyes, the two-horned head on the left has a single eye and the three-horned head on the middle has two eyes.

## Personality

Each of Gloria's three heads had a distinct personality. The 1st head was malicious and desired to destroy everything around it with its powerful light. The second head was cowardly and wanted to protect itself by killing everything else around it. The third head only wanted to increase its power, use its power and prove its power. Despite being essentially three beings in one body, the various heads showed little regard for each other, feeling little grief at each other's passing. All three heads shared the desire to kill Sky Dragon King Drag-Heaven to get revenge for the death of their parents.

## History

Gloria was born as the child of the Light Dragon King, Drag-Shine and the Death Dragon King, Drag-Death. Because it was born with three heads, its parents decided to take it out of the Border Mountain Range, due to the longstanding rule amongst the Sky Dragon Tribe that dragons born with physical deformations must be killed. They were discovered before leaving however, and Drag-Shine and Drag-Death died in order to allow Gloria to escape.

Sometime after that, Gloria was approached by Jabberwock who made it a UBM by using the ■ ■ ■ function three times on it. Gloria was able to withstand this and spent a long period of time after that killing many monsters and UBMs in order to gain more power. After it slaughtered an Irregular and surpassed level 100, Jabberwock collected Gloria and sealed it until he was ready to release it again.

## Abilities

By the time it was first dropped at the Kingdom, Gloria had HP at 70,000,000, its AGI was 10,000 (restricted by the control A.I.s) and its other stats were below 50,000 with its STR around 40,000 and END around 30,000, which was regarded as rather low for a SUBM.

**Skill Creation**: Due to its innate talent, Gloria had the ability to modify and create new skills.

### First Head

**Overdrive** (終極): An active skill that allows the first head to breathe a devastating light. All the energy is contained inside the light's radius, there is no transfer of heat outside of that area. This makes it powerful enough to destroy an entire city and melt even hihiirokane to a liquid state. Gloria inherited this skill from its father, Light Dragon King Drag-Shine, but its power was increased even further due to the effect of ■ ■ ■.

* **Zenith Dragon’s Shining Field: Fang of Gloria** (極竜光牙剣ファング・オブ・グローリア): An active skill that allows Gloria to emit the light from **Overdrive** from its entire body, allowing for a perfect offense and defense. Gloria only used this ability for the first time during its battle with Figaro and even the Control A.I.s were not aware of it.

### Second Head

**Fatal Field**  (絶死結界): A passive skill that creates a barrier which kills any master or tian lower than level 500 and any monster lower than level 100. It also disables any attack launched from outside its radius rendering it useless. As a side effect of this skill, Gloria can sense all of her opponents inside the field and identify how strong they are, based on the amount of resources they possess. It is a variation of Dragon King Aura that Gloria inherited from its mother, Death Dragon King Drag-Death, but its power was increased even further due to the effect of ■ ■ ■.

* **True Fatal Field** (真・絶死結界): By using the third head's **Resurgence**, the level limit of the **Fatal Field** is increased. This skill is triggered when Gloria's HP falls below 50%. The more damage Gloria takes, the higher the level limit is increased.

### Third Head

**Resurgence** (起死回生): A passive skill that increases Gloria's status whenever its HP is reduced. It also heals any wound Gloria has (without restoring the HP) so that Gloria can always fight at its peak condition. By the time it was left with a quarter of its maximum HP, its status had increased four fold.

### Fourth Head

**Revitalization** (既死改生): A passive skill that activates whenever Gloria encounters a strong opponent. Its tail detaches and whenever one of Gloria's heads is destroyed, the tail will revive that head, making the tail a sort of a hidden, fourth head as a backup to Gloria. Once a head is killed and revived, it will hide itself until all the three heads are destroyed, at which point Gloria will fully revive within a day. As long as the main body, which contains Gloria's core as a UBM is alive, the power of the heads revived by this skill will revert to what they would have been normally, without the effect of ■ ■ ■.

* **Area Over Drive** (拡散終極スプレッド・オーヴァー・ドライブ): An active skill developed on the fly during its battle with Sechs Wurfel. A modified version of **Overdrive**, where the breath of light is changed into countless threads of light to increase the range.
* **Compressed Fatal Field** (圧縮絶死結界): A passive skill developed on the fly during its battle with Sechs Wurfel. A modified version of **Fatal Field**, where the barrier itself is compressed to an area of 50cm in order to increase the level limit of the Fatal Field effect over Level 1000 for tian and Master.

## Trivia

* Gloria was considered by the Control A.I.s to be the most powerful and perfect SUBM and was even considered by Queen to be almost as strong as them if not stronger.
