I, The Dragon Overlord - Chapter 305

Chapter 305 – Merlin’s Bloodline’

“I have faith in the Lord alone.”

Queen Elizabeth II of Great Britain spoke confidently. Despite facing the blood-drenched warrior, she held firm in her beliefs.

Her confidence surprised the rest of the royal family, and they looked at her with widened eyes.

But soon they understood why the queen spoke in that manner.

England was a Christian nation. Although it wasn’t Catholic, the queen had lived a pious life since her childhood. Even if she was not extremely religious, she was still definitely a true believer.

If it was in the past, people would have had questions about faith and would even joke around with it, but as the world changed and the gods reappeared, the hearts of the people were shaken.

The queen had believed in Christ all her life and was now old enough to return to the Lord’s embrace at any time. If she were to turn back on her faith at the last moment, she might not be able to go to heaven.

In the past, people only considered faith as spiritual consolation and doubted whether heaven and hell existed, but now that a bonafide god stood in front of them, wouldn’t that mean that there was also a world after death? If so, who would be willing to go to hell?

This was the difference between a world with gods and one without. Because humans believe in the existence of a world after death, they would be more well-behaved while they were alive in order to have a happier life in the world after death.

At that moment, the members of the royal family understood what the queen meant. One by one, they gained the courage to face the god whose body was covered with the smell of blood. Even if their legs trembled, they began to pray with their eyes closed.

Seeing the members of the royal family act stubbornly and even dared to pray to Christ in front of his face, the Celtic god did not get angry, instead, he laughed and said, “Good. It’s good to remain firm in your faith, but you invaders have occupied our land for a thousand years. It’s time you give it back.”

“This is Great Britain. We are mortals who cannot resist the will of the gods, but the Lord will not abandon his people. He will be our witness.”

The queen knew that it was useless to beg for mercy. The only thing she could hope for now was for the ‘Christ’ who was in Kenya to intervene somehow. After all, the Celtic religion had ultimately lost out to Christianity.

Elizabeth II and many members of the royal family had never been so devout in their lives as they were at that moment. If they could survive this time, they would probably become devout Christians.

“Hahahaha! You don’t need to take out the name ‘Yahweh’ to scare me. I don’t know where you learned that the Tuatha De Danann lost to Yahweh, but how can Yahweh suppress us forever? The only thing he obtained was the right to spread faith in this world! Many divine systems have long been dissatisfied with him. With your Lord unable to take care of himself, how could he afford to bless you!”

——————-

Seeing the English royals remain faithful to Christ, Louie who was using the puppet said out loud.

Louie had returned to Earth in order to gain more faith. With Christianity having a large number of believers, he used the concept of the ‘Trinity’ to get a cut of this religion and steal its faith.

However, Louie did not need an Earth where only Christianity existed. That would unify the religion of Earth into one. It would likely cause problems with his absorption of faith as it would raise the chances of his own godhood receiving roadblocks. If he really became Yahweh under this powerful faith, he would lose his sense of self and his own nature. At that time, Louie might become Yahweh, or Yahweh might even replace Louie.

Moreover, Earth was ultimately a desert where all supernatural events were made by himself. If one day he met the demands of faith, then Louie would probably pat his butt and walk away. He simply did not care about the future development of Earth.

He was now a god of the world of San Soliel, so he did not care about this desert. If it wasn’t because he could gather faith in this world, then he would probably not have come back to Earth.

Louie’s way of thinking was now no different from that of the gods of San Soliel. What he valued the most was faith. He doesn’t even care about the material resources from Earth anymore because his territory was on the right track. Being able to gain enough support from Earth wouldn’t be bad, but it did not matter if he couldn’t.

But since Earth still had its uses, Louie still did things properly.

With his words, he had reduced the prestige of orthodox Christianity. This was to convince the people on Earth that Christ only won on Earth but not necessarily on other worlds.

These words were spoken by the god himself, so the man had no place to refute them and believe them as true.

If one wanted to believe in Christ, then one could do so. If you want to believe in Satan, then they could do so. It did not matter to him at all. In any case, the power of faith would all go to Louie.

On Earth faith needed to be diverse. As a god, he wanted to give all mortals the right to choose.

Sure enough, as the words of the Celtic god fell upon their ears, the royal family of England understood the meaning and collectively paled. They weren’t sure if the words of the god were true or not, but it gave birth to fear within them.

‘I should be able to make the last step here. If I consume any more divine power, this might all become a large joke.’

The real Louie was still in Kenya, Africa. The body in this country was only a puppet in which the divine power was almost exhausted. This was why Louie did not have the puppet fight too much with the military as a show of force.

If he went to a military base, there was a chance of the Celtic god being taken out by human weapons once it ran out of divine power. That would be too embarrassing.

Buckingham Palace, on the other hand, was a good choice. Its status was important enough to cause a sensation all over the world. Moreover, the location was London, so Louie did not need to make the puppet overly resistant to weapons to play as a god!

Picking the right person, time, and place was important.

Just when Louis was ready to reveal his final hand, the cries of a little girl came from within Buckingham Palace.

“Daddy, mommy…”

A five-year-old little girl suddenly ran out. She wore a beautiful lovely dress, and her face was full of tears. She took small steps to run toward her parents, but because of the fear, she accidentally tripped. However, the little girl endured the pain and continued to look for her parents.

“Charlotte? How did you get here? Hurry back to your aunt!”

The prince and princess saw their daughter running out, and their expressions immediately soured.

The branch members of the royal family also panicked and ran out to look for the lost Princess Charlotte, but after seeing how dilapidated the gardens were, they hesitated and ran back. Compared to the princess, their own lives were more important!

A large hand stretched out and grabbed the back of the princess’ collar and lifted her up.

The royal family members’ faces changed into a panic. They didn’t know what the Celtic god was going to do, but Princess Charlotte was barely five years old!

When the Celt God grabbed the princess, beautiful flower petals suddenly floated down from the sky. At the same time, the plants that had been burned to ashes came back to life. It turned into a plant that wrapped its vines tightly around the Celt.

“A druid?”

Connacht Rhy was puzzled. He acted as if these petals and vine were familiar, but immediately coldly snorted, “No, this is Merlin’s lineage.”
