I, The Dragon Overlord - Chapter 379
Chapter 379 – First Meeting With The Goddess of Magic
In the Goddess of Magic’s divine kingdom, Heart of Magic, Mismesella sat on her throne with an unusually ugly expression,
Louie’s incarnation stood at the entrance of her divine kingdom, so how could she not sense it?
“How did he find me?!”
The Goddess of Magic whispered helplessly with a trace of annoyance on her face.
This time, she had conspired with the Goddess of Earth and took advantage of Selar’s millennium-old hatred of Noella to send troops against Dragon City. The two goddesses had calculated well and secretly prepared armed mobilization. Then they would attack after the two goddesses finished their tasks.
Every god had the ability to block the perception of gods with equal or lower godhood for a period of time. Since the Goddess of Earth had a higher godhood level than Louie, the two gods used this ability to confuse his perception. By the time his perception was restored, the army of Selar would have already approached Dragon City.
At that time, the Goddess of Magic and Goddess of Earth could block Louie from supporting Dragon City, and use the power of Selar’s army as well as their churches to force Louie into a passive position.
The two goddesses did not intend to kill Louie as not only would it be difficult, but he was allied with the Goddess of Silver Moon. If the two goddesses moved in to kill, then the Silver Moon Goddess would intervene costing them a lot in the process.
They only intended to force Louie to hand over the divine authority of magic and the divine authority of earth. Since these were not Louie’s main divine authorities, then from the two goddesses’ point of view, Louie would obediently hand it over when he was placed in a dangerous situation.
Everything had already been prepared, but they did not expect information to leak somehow. From then on, the dragon had been ruthless enough to send an army to attack Selar first, flushing all their plans down the drain.
The Goddess of Magic was also surprised at Dragon City’s military power, but she was more confused at how information was leaked out.
“Those mortals really can’t hold up the wall!”
The churches of the two goddesses were trustworthy as it was impossible for members of the church to betray the goddesses, so thinking about it, the only person that could leak the information was the King of Selar.
“However, how was he able to create an incarnation so fast?”
With Louie banging at her door with his incarnation, Mismisella could only hastily create her incarnation. It barely reached level 2 and was also very unstable.
Even if her divine authority was very good at fighting, compared with Louie’s dream incarnation at level 4, she had no possibility of winning.
“It should be the power of time!”
As the Goddess of Magic, Mismisella was smart enough to come to the conclusion of how Louie was able to quickly create an incarnation. The divine authority of time was something that the second generation Goddess of Magic possessed, but they also lost it quickly. The third generation had not even seen the divine authority of time before.
Gods were characteristically immortal, so gods did not fear time. Their time was already long and constant. Any ability related to time was useless against a god, but even if the divine authority could not directly affect the gods, it was still a unique ability that could do many unimaginable things. For example, Louie used it to create incarnations instantly.
In a way, as long as Louie had sufficient divine power, he could create incarnations endlessly. Other gods would need years to finish making one while Louie only needed a few hours. If Louie had sufficient divine power, no god could fight a protracted battle with him. This was the power of time.
It did not affect a god directly but affected every other aspect.
“Sigh… I’d better go out and take a look. If I’m seen as afraid to come out when a new god is banging on the door, the other gods will certainly laugh at me.”
The Goddess of Magic smiled to herself. In a flash, her incarnation left the Heart of Magic. She originally thought that Louie would go find trouble with the Goddess of Earth because she was a bigger threat to him, but she did not expect that the dragon was a pushover who came to her instead of Chauntea.
It was complicated to make gods fall, so saving face was important. If the gods were mocked, they could be laughed at by people for thousands of eyes. Every person had their own temper, let alone the gods who did whatever they wanted.
Louie stood with his hands behind his back outside the goddess’ divine kingdom. He was determined not to enter the Goddess of Magic’s divine kingdom as that was tantamount to looking for death. His incarnation had a godhood of level 4 which was the same as the Goddess of Magic’s true body, but under the pressure of the divine kingdom, he wouldn’t be able to beat her.
Standing at the door and taunting the Goddess of Magic was the correct way.
As expected, Louie did not have to wait long. Light flashed in front of him and the incarnation of the Goddess of Magic appeared after.
This was the first time Louie met the Mismisella. The meeting in the Pantheon did not count as there was no way to see the face with just divinity. What appeared before him now was the true incarnation of the Goddess of Magic.
The Goddess of Magic had seen Louie from afar when he lit up the divine authority of magic. At that time, Louie had been surprised as being watched by a god was not a good thing. Who knew that after a few years, his fear of the Goddess of Magic was unfounded? His godhood level was now higher than hers, making him unafraid of her. Rather, it was this her who had to be afraid of him.
The world was simply unpredictable.
Mismisella was a very young and beautiful human woman in appearance. She wore a simple and elegant dark silk robe that was translucent. Her glamorous body could be seen from underneath it, causing her body to be outlined beautifully.
In addition to this silk robe, her dress was quite conservative and only exposed her arm and neck. Her skin was white and translucent as though flooded with the light of magic. Her flowing black hair was like the midnight sky that radiated with a mysterious light.
It was said that the second generation of the Goddess of Magic was a ball of light and only ever appeared before mortals that way. On the other hand, this third generation took on a human form.
“Your Highness Mismesella, Good day!”
When Louie was sizing up the Goddess of Magic, she was also doing the same. They did so for a long time until Louie placed his hand on his waist and bowed slightly.
Even if the two sides were at war, gods would always maintain basic manners among themselves unless both sides were archnemeses.
“Good day, Your Highness Louie!”
The Goddess of Magic performed a traditional mage’s greeting. Her face was gentle but her tone was cold, “I never thought that Your Highness Louie would come to my divine kingdom. It would be a sin to miss welcoming you. Since my Heart of Magic was recreated, you are the first god to come visit. Why don’t we go to my place, drink a glass of wine, and discuss the mysteries of magic.”
This Goddess of Magic was also quite powerful. She first tried to be polite, then directly distorted Louie’s intention, as if Louie really came here just to visit her divine kingdom and discuss the mysteries of magic.
She believed that Louie would never dare enter her divine kingdom.
‘According to Shae and Selune, the first two Goddess of Magic were extremely loathsome women, but this third Goddess had a mild character. If I didn’t have a choice, I wouldn’t want her to be my enemy.’
Being bullied at her front door was something shameful for old gods like the Goddess of Magic, but she did not just shout and attack. Instead, she was here chatting about normal affairs.
Louie knew that the Goddess of Magic was not afraid of him. The only reason why people would be afraid was that they knew they would die. If one knew that they were not in danger, then there was nothing to be afraid of.
So, the Goddess of Magic being gentle and light-hearted was part of her character, not because of her fear.
“I appreciate your kindness, but let’s not beat around the bush. Your Highness Mismisella, you must know what I came here for. If you stay and construct your magic network peacefully during this time, I think I would not have any conflict with you, Your Highness.”
Louie’s tone was unusually mild.
Hearing this, the Goddess of Magic turned gloomy. Louie’s words were tantamount to a threat, which was shaming the goddess. If she was a temperamental god, she would have already begun waving her fists after being blocked and looked down upon on by a newcomer.
The Goddess of Magic took a deep breath. Just as she was about to continue to say something an old voice appeared beside the two gods, “Your Highness Louie, if you can return to your ‘Dragonblight’ to sleep, I think Her Highness Mismisella and I would not have any conflicts with you.”
Hearing this voice, the Goddess of Magic was surprised and happy. She knew that the incarnation of the Goddess of Earth had arrived.
At the same time, she was also relieved. She was uncertain when facing Louie alone, but even if the Goddess of Earth was not good at fighting, her godhood level was high enough to suppress others with force.
In the Goddess of Magic’s opinion, the two of them working together formed a foolproof defense.
