Dragon of the Beginning

The Dragon of the Beginning (始まりの竜 Hajimari no Ryū) is a term that refers to both a title and a special Tribe found in all colors.

According to the story, the "Dragon of the Beginning" title itself specifically refers to the Dingir "Enki", the originator of Energeia and the Dragons. In the Z/X -Zillions of enemy X- TCG, the "Dragon of the Beginning" term is also used as a collective name of the majority of "Dragon" Tribe.

Three years ago, the Dragon of the Beginning suddenly went dormant, as the present began to be connected to the five different possible worlds. Originally, only one dragon is supposed to exist in the Present World, but due to the currently abnormal situation, with Six Worlds, there are now Six Dragons of the Beginning.
