I, The Dragon Overlord - Chapter 529

Chapter 529 – Civilization’s Strongest Weapon

The divine kingdom of the God of War Marzalis was ‘Valhalla’, and it existed in the ‘Sea of Chaos’. As the name of the kingdom suggested, it was a place built for warriors.

Marzalis was an ancient god or perhaps to be more accurate, a god who lived in the previous era. He was a god who was able to survive the Era of Disaster while others had fallen during it.

Marzalis was born a god. When the two oldest goddesses, the Goddess of Light and the Goddess of Darkness, fought, the rules of the world hadn’t stabilized. Their battle brought the world to a boil and at the same time gave birth to the concept of war.

It could be said that before Shae and Selune fought, there was no concept of war. It was the battle between the goddesses that caused it to appear.

With the birth of the concept of ‘war’, many Gods of War were spawned, Marzalis being one of them.

But as history progressed, Marzalis defeated nearly all the other gods of war and absorbed their divinities and divine authorities, thus becoming the human god of war. At the same time, the God of Beastmen Gorsh had also defeated several gods of war and plundered their divinity and divine authority from them.

Marzalis was born a true god, and Gorsh was the main god who created the beastmen, but the divine authority of beastmen did not give Gorsh any fighting abilities. To stabilize his position as the god of a race that believed in fighting, Gorsh killed other gods of war and plundered their divine authority to become a god of war himself.

In the end, the two ancient gods had taken over 90% of the divine authority of war and began a long confrontation. After not being able to destroy each other for millions and millions of years, they both felt stifled, especially Marzalis. He was the absolute god of war while Gorsh was just a thief who took what belonged to him.

Few had good relationships with the God of War. Only those with divine authorities tangential to conflict tended to have a good relationship with him. Deities like the God of Power, the God of Crafts and Forging, and so on.

In the era of the gods, these gods were Marzalis’ allies and subordinates, but with the arrival of the Era of Disaster, many of them had fallen. Now, new gods had just been born, so Marzalis had the idea of bringing together all the factors and gods related to war and putting them under him. Then he would establish his own divine system to improve his influence.

For example, strategies in war, forging weapons in war, battles in the sea, and so forth related gods. He wanted to collect them to form an entire industry.

Anhur, the God of Strategy, was one of the steps in his plan and was also the first step.

“War is a combination of force and wisdom, Your Highness Marzalis. It is your good fortune to be able to bring under you the God of Strategy in such a short period of time, which allowed you to become a tiger with wings… but today, you have provoked me, so I am going to break your arm to end your plans before they begin.”

“Although this will make us complete enemies, dragons are not a cowardly race who will just stand and take a beating! Just like how you mocked the Goddess of Peace for being weak, today, I will show you the bravery and fearlessness that you like!”

In the Hall of Order, Louie’s humongous body stood up. Although he could not transform his body into the size of the planet yet, his appearance was like a mountain range. Normal humans would not even be able to see from his head to his tail.

Only a place like the divine kingdom, where space could be changed at will, could allow Louie’s true body to exist. Otherwise, he would have to shrink his body if he really wanted to move.

Right now, Louie intentionally shrunk himself to less than ten meters.

“The reason why divine kingdoms are a safe place is that to enter it, you have to enter it from the entrance. Even powerful gods would not be able to directly appear inside the divine kingdom of weak gods. Because of this, it is impossible for divine kingdoms to be attacked secretly, allowing the master of a divine kingdom to rest easy, because they had ample preparations.”

“But that is only in terms of the means of the world of San Soliel. In front of the power of the alien civilization, this iron law of a divine kingdom is as thin as paper that can be broken with a touch. Because the gods cannot understand the principle of the alien civilization, there are no means to defend against it.”

In front of Louie’s true body was the space-time wormhole of the Terran Civilization. This was one of the true crystallization of its power and also its greatest treasure. With this wormhole, it was possible to even break through the Crystal Wall System and reach Earth and other universes. This allowed the Terran Civilization to carry out invasions or explorations in far-flung galaxies.

The Terrans were ultimately unfortunate because they did not understand the gods, and so they failed in their invasion. They were even cursed by the gods at the cost of their lives. No one could know what the Terran Civilization was currently like, but this treasure had been left behind and was passed on for use by the Intelligent Brain to Louie.

It was this treasure that allowed Louie to move between dimensions, from Earth to San Soliel. It was also thanks to this that a defect appeared on the Crystal Wall System that allowed Louie to explore the Power of Order.

“When things have developed beyond the scope of your knowledge, even the gods can only sigh in vain.”

Louie sighed, and then his body entered the wormhole.

Only this time, the endpoint of the wormhole was not Earth, but somewhere in the same world – Valhalla.

Normally, the divine kingdom of a god was open to everyone. Louie had also sent his incarnations to other gods’ divine kingdoms as well. Although a god would instantly find out if another god approached their divine kingdom making it impossible to sneak around, they would typically not mind as long as the intruder did not have malicious intentions. At most, they would be on alert.

Louie had also been to Valhalla before, so he knew the space of this realm very well. As a result, he took this chance to open the wormhole over his target in Valhalla.

“I only have ten breaths of time. If I don’t succeed, I must leave, otherwise, I will not only put myself in danger, but I may also expose my cards.”

……

In Valhalla, an incredibly small portal appeared.

True Gods might notice creatures that enter from the outside, but with the power of the Terran Civilization’s power, not even the God of War Marzalis could sense anything.
