I, The Dragon Overlord - Chapter 308

Chapter 308 – Standing at the Peak of All Beings!

Despite the Celt’s mockery, Elizabeth did not lose her initiative.

“I don’t know what you want, but if we can do it, we will,” the aged monarch responded.

Although their own deity was said to now walk the Earth, it was likely a better idea to comply with the Celt’s wishes at the moment. Life was, after all, preferable to martyrdom. As such, she responded with humility but made sure to retain her lineage’s dignity.

She added after a moment’s pause, “Nevertheless, I am only a ruler in name. I wield very little actual political power.”

“A powerless monarch? How is that possible?” Connacht frowned.

His questioning made the Queen feel slightly nervous, but she could understand how modern political arrangements wouldn’t come intuitively to the Celt. She considered explaining the British political system but realized that doing so would be difficult. Thus she elected to keep her mouth shut.

The Celt stared at her for a moment before laughing, “No matter, just remember what I said. If you can’t make a decision, then talk to someone who can.”

‘Is this a threat? It’s definitely a threat! At this rate, the prime minister will be in the hot seat since he’s the one with actual authority.’

The prime minister also definitely did not want to meet such a savage and irascible god alone.

“First of all, I need this land once more to make offerings to us Tuatha De Danann, to restore the faith of the people.”

Connacht’s tone was calm, nothing like the rage and fury he had before. It was like he was a different person.

The Queen was hesitant. She had complicated thoughts on this matter. This was a religion-related matter which was not in her hands to govern. Of course, the most important point here was that she did not have the right to agree to this demand on behalf of the Prime Minister. This was a matter of urgency, and the British government would never say anything because the use of political tactics might backfire.

Another reason why the Queen did not agree was that the United Kingdom was, nominally at least, a Christian country. And though it espoused freedom of religious expression, it was unclear how the Christian majority would take the new developments. Furthermore, she was unsure as to how ‘Christ’ would take it.

While the members of the royal family looked anxious and hesitant, Connacht laughed, “If you’re worried about Yahweh, you can relax. We, the Tuatha De Danann, have long been in agreement with him. There is no problem with doing as we request. He should not have any complaints. In the north of this continent, there are still Celtic descendants. Since you are the ruler, you should use the power of the country to make the culture of our people grow in this land once more. Let the druidic culture of my people flourish anew.”

Louie used this method to break Christianity’s monopoly on the world. The world was a desert of mysteries to begin with, and the faith of more than two billion people did not cause the gods to appear. But Louie could use their faith in the world of San Soliel. He only worried that the strong ‘Christian’ wills would affect his being as a god.

In the world of San Soliel, it was not uncommon for a fallen god to occupy the body of their offspring and be reborn once more. This was how the ancient gods did things.

Although Louie did not feel that these beliefs could affect him, the possibility was not absent. Treading carefully was still better than taking one wrong step and falling into the Abyss. That’s why Louie had to do these things to confuse the world’s faith.

“Since the Lord has agreed, I have no reason to refuse.”

Elizabeth II breathed a sigh of relief. After knowing that the church would not blame her for this, she did not hesitate and agreed to the Celtic god’s request on the Prime Minister’s behalf.

Although the power of the state could re-establish the Celtic Druid faith, it could make the regime unstable. Nonetheless, Ireland and other regions had recently been agitating for independence, so it was an opportunity to calm them down as well.

“Very well, this is your agreement with a god.”

“As for the second point, this is more related to you people. There is a group of evil gods that are eyeing this world. Although we have no interest in what this world would become, we have found out that our enemies, the Fomorians, might be behind them. When the rules of this world initially changed, they arrived one step faster than we did. You should have already encountered their vanguard.”

The Celtic god’s words made all those who were eavesdropping pale. The first thing that came to their minds was the incident in Tokyo not long ago.

The Deep Ones who believe in Cthulhu sacrificed themselves to make Cthulhu descend onto this world. If they weren’t stopped, then the whole of Japan might have collapsed and shocks would have reverberated around the world. With the collapse of the Japanese economy, the world would probably enter into a huge economic crisis.

A lot of people who were concerned about these supernatural powers thought that they were about to grasp why these supernatural beings appeared in this world.

These gods probably appeared to fight evil gods, just like how the Torch Dragon destroyed Cthulhu’s deep ones.

Perhaps one of these evil gods was Cthulhu? Since the Celtic god said that the Fomorians might be included in these evil gods, then perhaps their composition might be complex.

The reason for Christ’s descent would be understandable. In view of the Christian doctrine, Christ was a good God who persuades people to do good. In order to save the world from the evil gods, he came down to save all beings.

All kinds of speculation and reports flew to different countries.

They were concerned about what effects the appearance of these gods would have on their power. People would remain fearful if they could not clarify the purpose of these gods.

And as long as this reason was known, it would stabilize the hearts and minds of the people, so that there was no chaos among the human race.

Countless scholars and experts began to use the known information to deduce a magnificent epic of war between the gods. Their pens and keyboards wove together complex relationships between the various divine systems that existed.

The words of the Celtic god sound deceptive, but the testimony from other gods would make people believe in it.

But the humans of Earth did not know that the so-called war between the gods did not really exist. It was only a self-directed play by Louie using their lack of information to deceive the world.

In this way, they assumed that there were many gods in the world. Louie used a simple way to build up a rivalry between the present gods and the evil gods represented by Cthulhu.

With an opposition, there would be conflicts. This conflict would allow Louie to develop his made-up story and obtain more faith, thereby pulling more people to his camp.

He would use this belief to establish his faith as an ‘outer god’ and stand in a solid position.
