I, The Dragon Overlord - Chapter 338

Chapter 338 – Birth Of God’s Child

“So, this Mother Earth Goddess has turned her back on the Goddess of Morning?”

After Louie heard Shae’s analysis and explanation of the Mother Earth Goddess, his brain went on overdrive to sort out the relationship between the gods. He carefully probed her for more details.

At this time, Louie was happy he had decided to form a covenant with Shae. The superficial pleasures of her body aside, her secrets were even more precious.

Shae was a goddess who had maintained a powerful divine power since the beginning of the world. Compared to the Silver Moon Goddess Selune, Shae had a more thorough understanding of the secrets of the gods.

If not for Shae’s warning, Louie would never have known that the Kingdom of Selar and the Kingdom of Danbusil were preparing to invade Dragon City. Although Louie was not afraid of the two nations, he had to pay attention to the churches that were behind them. The information of the Feminist Witch Council was also important to Louie. If he did not know about the identity of its mastermind, Louie would probably have suffered a great loss.

In the event that she was discovered, Louie would have to bear the wrath of the gods on Shae’s behalf, but compared to the secrets and information that sje provided, Louie felt that everything was worth it.

For the world of San Soliel, he was ultimately just a new god, a dragon that had just been recognized by the world.

Shae’s face turned serious and she shook her head, “Chauntea and Lorentia did not part ways. The two were extremely close and intimate during the Age of the Gods. The reason why Chauntea helped me and allowed me to join her organization was that she wanted to use my power to help her achieve her purpose.”

“Lord, you are actually no different from Chauntea, aren’t you? Both of you are using me while maintaining a relationship with another god. The only difference is that you chose Selune while Chauntea chose Lorentia.”

Saying so, Shae smiled without smiling. The intelligence network of this goddess was rarely seen in the world, so how could he not see through Louie’s little thoughts?

But it was no big deal since it was all reciprocated.

Even if Louie and her greatest enemy, the Silver Moon Goddess, maintained close ties, Shae would not say so and would not be angry. Compared to their hostile relationship, her fate was more critical. Once she regained her powers and once again became a goddess that no one dared to underestimate, she would have all the time in the world to deal with the Silver Moon Goddess.

A god’s concept of time was always different from mortals, especially for an ancient god like Shae.

Louie was slightly embarrassed and quickly changed the subject, “So, Your Highness Shae, are you still connected with Chauntea and that witch council of hers?”

If Shae was still part of the organization, Louie was prepared to turn her into a spy to extract more information about Chauntea.

When a god clashed with another god, it would usually end in the defeat of one side, unless the two sides were stuck in a stalemate. Only then would the dispute end in a peaceful way.

Moreover, for immortal beings like the gods, the most important thing was their own life, followed by their faces. The loss of face was a big loss for the gods as it was likely that other gods would laugh and ridicule them for thousands of years. Who could stand such a thing?

He never imagined that Shae would shake her head. She stared at Louie with her void-like eyes, causing Louie to feel goosebumps. When Louie could not endure the silence anymore, She spoke, “I have been abandoned by Chauntea. After you destroyed my plans in the Shadow Realm, Chauntea abandoned me.”

“I am already weak to the point of almost falling. Without any strength to help Chauntea complete her goal, it was more cost-effective to abandon a person like me who is hated by the gods. That way, Chauntea would suffer less pressure.”

Shae’s tone of voice might be light, but Louie could tell that she was gritting her teeth. This goddess was very petty and vindictive. In the past, she and Chauntea were in a hostile relationship because of the Goddess of Morning, now, Shae had completely formed a deep grudge against the Mother Earth Goddess.

Being abandoned was a huge slap in the face. It was a bigger shame than being humiliated by Louie. Louie humiliating her would only be known by the two of them, on the other hand, Chauntea abandoning her would be known by every god!

Hearing Shae’s words, Louie had a thought. In the beginning, the Goddess of Night chose to make the Mother Earth Goddess her master. If the Mother Earth Goddess helped her cross through difficulties, then she would help her achieve her goal once she recovered more power.

But because of her failure in the Shadow Realm, Shae had been severely weakened. Seeing that she had no more use and was a huge risk, the Mother Earth Goddess had kicked her out.

It could be said that these gods were utilitarian. They would treat people well if they were useful and abandon people when they were useless.

After this Shae was in a desperate state and could only bow down to this new god while being the culprit of her current miserable situation.

‘Does this mean that I am a spare tire?’

Thinking so, Louie felt a little upset.

‘I guess that’s fine, I have already crossed the bridge!’

Louie felt that this was still quite a bargain.

Shae did not know how many thoughts flashed through Louie’s mind instantly. For an ancient god like Shae, she had long since lost this idea of self-amusement. On the other hand, a new god like Louie would still laugh at himself and entertain himself with his thoughts.

The Goddess of Night continued, “The demigod, that I invited into the Shadow Realm, and the Spider Goddess are also part of the organization. In addition, there are some other mysterious existences whose true natures I am unaware of. I can guess some of them, but I do not have enough evidence.”

“The Spider Goddess? The Mother Earth Goddess also invited the Spider Goddess? She really is quite indiscriminate.”

Louie frowned. At this point, he finally understood how much power the Mother Earth Goddess had accumulated. It could be described as terrifying…

“In order to achieve her goal, Chauntea would not mind using them. Moreover, Rose is also a woman… Chauntea, who had returned to her initial self, was not harmonious towards everything. She is not an old woman who had no interest in everything… Only us gods who have lived for a long time know that Chauntea is capable of becoming the leader of the gods. In addition to the divine authorities she possesses, the most important thing was her ability and drive.”

“Lord, you must not underestimate her. All records of her in the Era of the Gods that claim that she was a non-threatening god are written by those who did not know her true personality. She is one of the most dangerous gods!”

Louie did not take Shae’s warning with a deaf ear and solemnly said, “Your Highness Shae, please rest assured. I will never underestimate any god, especially Chauntea who had lived for so long without falling. She is not someone ordinary gods could compete against.”

From ancient times to now, there were many powerful gods that had fallen. There were no weak ones among those that had survived. Even the Goddess of Magic was only a young god in front of the Goddess of Earth. Only a few gods like Shae and Selune may be more ancient than her.

Louie did not regret standing opposite Chauntea. It must be known that once the gods returned, the world’s productivity would be greatly enhanced. Even if it could not compete with a modern industrial society, the existence of gods would not allow mortals to have a lack of supply.

This was why the Mother Earth Goddess had so many believers. It was because everyone had to eat and plant. Many farmers were her believers. They would pray to her for a better harvest. The priests of the Mother Earth Goddess also possessed divine arts related to planting. Although it could not reach the level of modern Earth, farmers would still be grateful for this help.

Louie’s divine authority over earth was only very small, but it still allowed Louie to bestow divine arts related to planting. These divine arts could be used to cultivate land and food.

This was the only way his territory could be sustainable. It had to at least be self-sufficient in food. Additionally, with the hybrid rice from Earth, Louie would not have to worry about his believers going hungry.

For a regime that united a god’s power and a royal’s power, the divine authority of earth was very important. Louie, as a god, needed to have long-term development plans. He could not be short-sighted.

At this moment, Louie’s heart shook. He tilted his head and looked at the silver moon in the sky. The silver moon’s halo expanded as if something was separating from the silver moon.

‘Eh? My child is about to be born!’

‘Why is it so fast? It’s faster than the initial calculation.’

‘Could it be that the Silver Moon Goddess had sensed that the seal of the gods is coming loose, so she used divine power to hasten the birth?’

Louie had a lot of thoughts in his mind, but his expression was one of great joy.

Having lived for almost thirty years as a human without getting married, he did not expect to have a child with a goddess after coming to this other world.

As a father-to-be, how could he not be joyful?
