I, The Dragon Overlord

Chapter 524 - The Black Dragon Ascends

On the isolated island on the east coast of the Land of Dragon, the Obsidian King, Drexler’s ascension ceremony had reached its final stage.

In a world that only he could see, inside the realm of his divine fire, a crystal of indescribable shape was forming. This was the manifestation of his godhood.

“Finally, it has come to this step.”

Drexler let out a sigh.

He thought back to his past.

As a mighty dragon, he was born with the status of being at the top of the food chain. When he passed his juvenile stage, he was already a powerful magical beast that could survive alone in the world of San Soliel.

Drexler was once just an ordinary black dragon. He was no different from other dragons at birth. And when he was young, he was even thinner and weaker than others of his species.

As he grew up, he found that he was significantly different from other dragons. Specifically, his ambition, desire, motivation, and willingness to learn exceeded that of his compatriots by leaps and bounds.

Dragons, after all, were slow and lazy beings for the most part. They did not exercise at all to increase their capabilities and only relied on the knowledge that was passed onto them. They did not believe in effortful self-improvement.

But Drexler was different. He had far more curiosity and initiative compared to other dragons. At a very young age, he took the initiative to learn knowledge from different races while retaining his belief in draconic superiority.

But he was not rejected by the dragons. Dragons were originally lazy creatures, but Drexler who sought to learn grew stronger at a faster rate compared to others.

Drexler was a dragon who knew how to share. He joyfully told the other dragons about his discoveries, but even if they believed his words, they were too lazy to do anything. Since dragons could become the strongest race without doing anything, why waste time and energy to learn? For them, the more they could sleep, the better.

Every dragon he encountered had the same idea. No one was willing to do the same things as him, causing Drexler to be saddened. That was until he encountered the silver dragon, Heloise.

Drexler was surprised to find that there was another dragon who had the same nature as him. Although black dragons and silver dragons didn’t have a good relationship, this did not stop Drexler. He took the initiative to contact Heloise, and they gradually became friends.

Although they also needed to sleep like other dragons, they did not sleep as often compared to other dragons who slept away half their lives. They often woke up together and with each other’s companionship, they sought more knowledge and grew stronger together.

It was just that Drexler preferred to plunder and Heloise preferred to trade.

Although black dragons and silver dragons had very different temperaments, they still became good friends. They were even extremely close, so close that other dragons would think that they were a couple.

However, Drexler knew that this was not love between dragons. It was closer to a sibling relationship because Heloise’s character was too good. On the other hand, he was afraid of being deceived and faced everything with a vicious attitude, as a result, he did not dare fall in love.

Because they were different from other dragons, Drexler and Heloise already had the power of an ancient dragon while they were just adult dragons. It could be said that the two dragons were like protagonists of legends.

After this, the great primordial dragon Abdulfraizer awakened. The ancient golden dragon was the elder of all dragons and possessed great prestige among them. This awakening became the dividing line in the two dragons’ lives.

The primordial dragon was very optimistic about Drexler and Heloise. He told them the secret of the gods and how to spread their faith to dragons. If in the future the gods reawakened and both dragons were still alive, they needed to take the chance to ascend as well.

Drexler did not have much desire to become a god, but the words of the ancient dragon changed his mind.

“In the world of the gods, every race must choose to believe in a god. Whether it is a good or an evil god, any race that does not believe in a God will certainly be destroyed by them. Even dragons are no exception.. For the survival of the dragon race, you must become the target of the faith of the dragons!”

Although Drexler had the brutal characteristic of black dragons, he was ultimately a pureblooded member of the species. He was proud of his identity as a dragon and proud of the dragon as a race. He would not allow the dragons to be wiped out by the gods in the future.

He believed in the primordial dragon’s words. In addition to the primordial dragon’s prestige, Drexler himself understood the nature of dragons.

He knew that the dragons would never believe in any god because he was the same. His arrogance simply would not allow him to believe in other gods.

If the dragons did not believe in any god, they would be considered hostile and would eventually be destroyed by the gods, then everything would be fine if he became the Dragon God!

With these thoughts in his mind, the black dragon started to spread his faith and started his journey to become a god.

“But if I had a choice, I would rather Lord Abdulfraizer not awaken, and I would also rather the gods not awaken either.”

In the moment before ascending, all mortals would go through the process of looking back on their mortal life.

If Abdulfraizer had not awakened, he and Heloise would still be as close as brother and sister. They would be able to fly together in the sky above without care. They would look triumphantly as mighty dragons watching the tiny races flee in terror beneath their feet.

Because of the primordial dragon’s task for both of them, the most essential difference between the two dragons reared its head. He advocated for evil while Heloise advocated for good. In this intense factional contrast, the relationship between the two gradually became distant, until finally their doctrines collided and they became enemies.

One of them became the Obsidian King while the other became the Mythril King. They both became legendary dragons on the main continent, but this was not what the black dragon sought.

“I gave up everything for this, even my closest friend. My closest friend has become my worst enemy but this is for the continuation of the dragon race, so that we dragons may be glorious and proud again!”

“But, the dragon that appeared from nowhere deprived me of all my efforts. He turned my life of thousands of years into a joke. Now I have nothing. I will not acknowledge him! I should be the Dragon God!”

The black dragon with a length of over 100 meters roared to the skies. The prayers of dragons gathered together and grew louder.

Then, divine power appeared in Drexler’s body. In the midst of the night sky, a new star rose.

Gorsh and Marzalis laughed and prepared themselves, waiting for the moment when Louie’s divine authority was torn apart. Then they would destroy all his incarnations.

The Goddess of Night who was in the form of the Kobold God glanced at the Goddess of Silver Moon not far ahead. She resisted the urge to stab her in the back and looked at Louie’s incarnation with hidden concern.

Although she was the Goddess of Night, her current godhood was too low. The divine authority of kobolds had little combat power. She could not display any of her true skills in case other gods could see through her. In this case, she could only fight hand to hand and occasionally sneak an attack in. She simply could not do much.

Inside the Sleeping Dragon Temple, Chauntea was happy yet worried as she looked at Louie.

She was happy because she had succeeded, it was time for her to reap her rewards, but she was also worried about what she was going to do if Louie refused to compromise and refused to hand over the divine authority of earth.

Inside the Hall of Order, Louie’s order incarnation shook his head and took a step forward. He was prepared to enter the main continent without hesitation.

Then, his order incarnation became stunned at what he saw in the distance, but he did not hesitate to enter the main continent.

At the same time, Louie’s real body opened his eyes and let out a low voice, “Interesting, very interesting. For things to turn out like this… Let’s change my plan slightly. I won’t just let this go.”
