I, The Dragon Overlord

Chapter 376

Chapter 376: Obtaining the Divine Authority of Killing

In the Sleeping Dragon Temple in Dragonblight, Louie sat on his royal throne while meeting with Shae.

The dark goddess had returned to her beautiful dancer form as she sat on her throne, positioned lower than Louie’s. Her starry eyes which were as dark as ink gazed at Louie as she smiled.

“Your Highness Shae, do you know what I called you here for?”

The two gods just stared at each other for a long time before Louie broke the silence.

“Lord God definitely has something to ask of me. After the meeting of the gods in the Pantheon, your thoughts have changed.”

Shae quietly spoke with a crisp and pleasant cadence.

Louie nodded his head and did not beat around the bush, “Your situation among the gods is extremely bad. I am now a little dissatisfied with the price you have paid.”

Louie and Shae were both aware that both of them were smart people, so there was no need to test the words. In order to save time, Louie just blurted his thoughts

“Are you going to break the agreement?”

Shae’s eyebrows were slightly knitted. Her serene eyes shot a hair-raising gaze at Louie.

However, Louie was not worried. He smiled and said, “the so-called agreement asks for equality and fairness between both sides and needs to be complied. This is why we signed the agreement in the first place. But the amount of danger and trouble that I am risking is too much. This agreement is now in a state of repeal and the River Styx Oath has been invalidated. Even if I violate it, there will not be many repercussions.

“But you are different. If the gods knew that you have ascended, you would fall under the encirclement of the gods and die.”

Louie’s tone was soft yet serious.

Shae’s face became ugly. She had lived for millions of years and yet when had she ever been threatened by god or other people for that matter? Naturally, there were none that dared to threaten her, and if they did, they would have already ended up six feet under.

But now, her head was lowered. No matter how much displeasure Shae felt, she could only give up as long as it was not her last resort.

“Lord God, it is already the truth that you have taken me under you. If you give up on me right here, you will also be suspected by the gods.”

Shae did not have much leverage. She could only ask in a way that would reduce her losses.

“The gods all know that you have a way with words, your Highness Shae. I could just say that I, a new god, was deceived by your sinister and cunning nature. I think the gods would understand this as this is also the time when I am achieving an understanding of being a god. There are also a lot of gods waiting to see you fall.”

Louie was unperturbed by Shae’s small threats.

The gods were practical creatures. As long as Louie did not do anything really harmful to their shared interests, they would take his words to be true.

“You have had close contact with the alien civilization and used their means of fighting. Are you not afraid that I will tell the gods about this?” Shae probed.

“The Gods will not believe your words, Your Highness Shae… Of course, it doesn’t really matter if they know. Leaving aside the new gods, the ancient gods have actually long guessed that I had inherited the legacy of the Five-colored Dragon God. During that dark era, the Dragon God had indeed charged into a different universe. Since I was able to obtain his legacy, then they will just assume that I was able to understand some of the abilities of the alien civilization.”

“I did not intend to hide this from the beginning. In the past 30,000 years, my existence and traces do not exist on the main continent or any of the other realms. The gods are not stupid and can easily guess that I am not a dragon of the main continent. They would probably come to the conclusion that I belong to a different universe, but no matter how they try to guess, I am now one of the stronger gods in this universe and have thoroughly integrated into this world. With my interests in line with the gods, they would not make enemies of me just because of these speculations.”

“Doing so is unwise as this is just the start of a new era, so the gods will not be willing to accept any turmoil.”

Louie’s words made Shae silent. In the end, she sighed, “You have successfully persuaded me, then tell me directly, what do you want, Lord God?”

“The divine authority of murder on your body”

Louie stated his terms simply.

The divine authority of murder was the same as the divine authority of killing. It was just that because it had been separated and the Prince of Lies had always called himself the God of Murder, as a result, its name had changed into murder. Integrating it back together would make it into the divine authority of killing.

Shae revealed an expectant look. She smiled lightly and spoke in a way that made it hard to tell her feeling, “You always catch on to important points at the most critical moments. From this ability alone, you could be called a powerful god.”

Shae sighed and praised Louie’s choice.

This new Dragon God was truly ruthless. One moment he was hooking up and kissing you and the next moment, he would turn against you without mercy after finding out that he had lost on benefits. His vision was also extremely accurate. After finding out that the God of Murder was not around, he immediately used this situation to force Shae to hand over the divine authority of murder. He truly knew how to hit where it hurts, and even Shae could only surrender and agree.

The current Goddess of Night acted in a way that did not seek merit or fault. As long as she could keep her divine authority of darkness, she would still be able to remain at level 17 or 18 in the future. She could even give up all other divine authorities for that purpose.

‘This dragon is quite calculating for adding in the clause of fairness. He had already planned this far.’

In a situation like this, Shae could only resign herself and opened her hand to show a crystal-like rune that was the embodiment of divine authority.

At her peak, Shae had possessed the complete divine authority of killing, but unfortunately, only thirty percent had remained. Without any reluctance, she directly passed this divine authority to Louie.

Louie did not feel much joy from obtaining this divine authority as everything was in his calculations. This was naught but a predicted result.

If it was the completed divine authority, Louie would take a few years to comprehend it, but with only thirty percent, Louie directly took it in and used divine power to analyze it, hoping that it would come in handy in the next battle.

“Thank you for your generosity, Your Highness Shae! Your divine kingdom is not yet completed, so I will not keep you here.”

After Louie gained what he wanted, he tried to push her out.

Shae did not stay either. The two only needed to look at each other as everything was contained in their gazes.

The Goddess of Night left the Sleeping God Temple and looked back at the temple with a trace of incomprehension in her eyes.

‘How much divine power has he left stored up?’

This was the thing that Shae could not understand the most. Louie had about 500,000 believers with not everyone being a true believer, as some were only pseudo-believers. In terms of believers at the moment, this could be said to be the largest group, but it should be impossible to have so much divine power just from that.

Louie not only condensed an incarnation with his divine authority of time but also seemed to still be planning to burn divine authority to analyze the divine authority of killing to become stronger for the next war.

In this process, Louie had also transformed the laws of his divine kingdom and even attached his divine kingdom to the Arborea Realm. This also consumed divine power. With the power of the current gods, even the Goddess of Morning would not be able to do what Louie did.

‘He still has more secrets.’

Shae pondered for a moment. As the lady who was known to grasp secrets, she was itching to know Louie’s secrets. She wanted to pick off everything about him to see what he was hiding.

Although the Goddess of Night had picked off Louie’s clothes and served him with her mouth and tongue, she could not probe his heart.

……

In the Kingdom of Selar’s royal palace, the monarch was discussing with the higher-ups of the church of the Goddess of Magic and Goddess of Earth. Suddenly, a magical aura spread throughout the entire palace as an illusory doorway appeared.

The doorway was an illusion that could not turn solid, this was because the palace was protected by a magic formation that prevented mages from easily using portals and other spells for assassination.

Seeing the doorway, King Selar looked at the senior bishop of the Church of the Goddess of magic beside him. The bishop nodded lightly, signaling that the portal was a mage from his own order.

After King Selar gained proof, the illusory doorway took shape and a mage stumbled out of the portal. His face was full of frost, and his robes were tattered. He panicked and shouted, “Lord Bishop, Your Majesty, this is not good! The army of Dragon City has broken through the southern gateway and taken three cities in a row. They are now on their way to the capital!”

“Impossible, how could they march so fast! How could the southern fortress be so easily breached?!”

King Selar fiercely stood up with a face full of shock.

The country of Selar was only a principality. Its land area was probably the size of a slightly larger province in China which could not be compared to the Subila Empire at all.

But now, the Subila Empire was almost completely divided and the gods would not allow such a huge empire to exist now and in the future. The world would soon be full of countries the size of duchies.

The country of Selar lacked fighting power, so it was waiting for the strong support of the two churches and also waiting for the incarnations of the two goddesses to condense.

But the king did not expect that Dragon City would have such a strong military even if it was founded only ten years ago.

With the size of a principality, having three cities broken through was a dangerous thing!
