I, The Dragon Overlord - Chapter 527
Chapter 527 – Goddess’ Promise
In the Astral Realm, the battle between the gods had temporarily stopped because of Drexler’s ascension.
Both Louie and Selune’s incarnations were still on high alert at this time, because they knew that they would now face a storm of attacks from the two gods of war. The moment the black dragon finished ascending, Louie’s divine authority would be torn apart. In that process, Louie would immediately weaken, allowing the two gods to win for sure.
Unless Louie used the power of order, the endless power of a faction, to blast the two gods, he would not be able to win. If Louie had only been fighting one god, there was still a chance for him to win, but against two, the chances of victory were slim.
However, the final result had ultimately gone beyond everyone’s expectations. When Drexler ascended as the Evil Dragon God, he escaped from Chauntea into Louie’s divine kingdom. This caused the two gods of war to be stunned.
“Hahahahaha! As expected of a dragon. Their value of honor is simply the same as that of us beastmen. Even in death, we will never choose to submit to others!”
Gorsh laughed loudly after seeing the choice of the Evil Dragon God. His laughter contained profound bravado.
Marzalis, after a moment of consternation, also shook his head and laughed, “It seems that we have to return empty-handed this time, Your Highness Gorsh. Our goals may have to be delayed until a few hundred years from now.”
The two gods of war quickly separated, keeping their guards up against one another.
Gorsh and Marazlis did not really have any enmity with Louie, unlike Chauntea who craved his fragment of her divine authority.
The only reason why they stood against Louie this time was for their own benefit and not because they hated him.
Now that the result was like this, both Gorsh and Marzalis felt a headache. This time, they failed to defeat Louie and did not even bring him any losses. After this, the churches of the two gods would probably have a harder time.
Now, Louie was the absolute Dragon God. Even if his prestige among the dragons had not yet reached the level where he could command all of them, a part of them being devout was enough. For the two gods of war, this was a troublesome thing.
Louie could have ordered the dragons under him to treat the beastmen as enemies and kill them on sight. Although dragons were asleep most of the time and would not be particularly diligent in listening to the god’s orders, they would still obey his will. For the beastmen, that was a troublesome matter. Dragons would only need to raise a finger to kill the beastmen. Killing them was never a big deal.
The only ones who could face off against a dragon would be powerful warriors or an organized mass attack. Otherwise, death was easily granted by a hostile dragon.
It was fortunate that dragons did not have a high degree of faith and would not completely obey their gods. Otherwise, if Louie truly wanted to organize a few hundred thousand dragons to carry out large-scale attacks, the gods would definitely not sit still.
Marzalis was not worried about this, because Louie would never give orders to kill humans when he saw them. This was simply because human faith was too scattered with many believing in different gods. They were unlike the beastmen who mostly believed in the God of Beastmen. It was unlikely that a massacre would happen.
However, Louie’s minions had a part of the human god system. This gave Louie a lot of power and prestige in the human lands. This was a bad thing for Marzalis’ church.
At the moment when the two gods were planning on what to do next, especially when Louie was no longer their common enemy, they immediately became alert of each other due to their rivalry over the divine authority of war.
The Silver Moon Goddess and the fake Kobold God also sighed in relief. The Silver Moon Goddess was glad that Louie was finally over this crisis and had completely become the Dragon God. With this, Louie’s path to becoming a high-tier god would be straightforward. As Louie’s wife, in essence, she would naturally be happy.
On the other hand, Shae was also happy that she did not have to risk exposing herself anymore and could continue to hide her identity until she became a mid-tier god. Louie was now the best shelter she could ask for that would allow her a smooth future.
“Lord God, since the battle is over, I’ll go back to the divine kingdom first.”
The fake Kobold God, Shae, quickly bid farewell after the battle. She was afraid that the longer she stayed the easier it was for her to be exposed, especially with the Silver Moon Goddess who was most familiar with her twin sister. Selune knew too much about Shae, and this close contact was enough to put Shae on alert and worry.
After seeing Louie nod, Shae opened a portal back to the divine kingdom and did not stay for a second longer.
With the battle over, Selune was also prepared to bid goodbye so that she could quickly return to her divine kingdom and clean up the spiders.
On the other hand, Louie did not immediately return to his divine kingdom. Although he could not do anything directly against Chauntea, Gorsh, and Marzalis, they had schemed against him too much. If he just returned like this, wouldn’t this be too shameful?
Louie had always been a vengeful person. He couldn’t take proper revenge against the gods at the moment, but he would take what happened today to heart. If he could not do it now, he would do it in the future. Gods were immortal beings, and he would one day be able to return today’s shame.
‘For now, I will take some interest first!’
……
Inside Dragonblight, Louie, who was sitting on the throne, did not wait for Chauntea’s incarnation to speak. He directly activated the rules of his divine kingdom and drove her out. There was little to no meaning in killing her incarnation, so he did not expend much effort in doing so.
Soon, a huge black dragon flew into the Sleeping Dragon Temple. After it entered, it changed into human form.
The human form of Drexler, the God of Evil Dragons, was that of a young man with a quiet disposition. Normally, it would be hard to see this young man as an evil god.
“Your Highness Drexler, please take a seat. I will come back to talk to you after I have settled the aftermath.
Louie made a gesture of invitation. As they were both gods, Louie would naturally show basic respect to this God of Evil Dragons. It was thanks to him that Louie did not have to reveal his hands to win. This merit alone was enough for Louie to feel gratitude.
Moreover, Drexler was now the God of Evil Dragons, which was equivalent to becoming his own subordinate god. Louie would naturally treat him gently as his subordinate.
“Please go ahead and go about your business, Your Highness Louie.”
The God of Evil Dragons replied with a surprising degree of cordiality.
