I, The Dragon Overlord

Chapter 375: Dragon’s Expedition

In the previous Era of the Gods, there existed a powerful god nicknamed the ‘Prince of Lies’. This god had completed the divine authority of doom and possessed about 70% of the authority of killing, and the complete authorities of lies and illusion. With the power of these four divine authorities, his godhood had reached level 19, becoming the most powerful god at that time and bringing fear to everyone.

This ‘Prince of Lies’ was an expert at single combat and no god could defeat him. If he could obtain the complete divine authority of killing, then he could reach a godhood of level 20 and have a chance at becoming the god of gods.

Unfortunately, the last portion of the divine authority belonged to Shae. Although the Prince of Lies was strong, it was absolutely impossible for him to snatch the remaining part from Shae’s hands.

The reason why this god was strong was irrelevant to his divine authority of death. He only relied on the divine authority of killing, lies, and illusion. These three alone gave him extraordinary combat ability.

Now that the ‘Prince of Lies’ had fallen, his divine authorities had been lost and other gods had snatched them up. Louie could threaten Shae with being attacked by the gods and demand the divine authority of killing from her hands.

The remaining portion of the divine authority that she possessed was the most difficult thing for the gods to get their hands on, but it was currently simple for Louie.

‘The combination of killing, time, life, and dream should not be weaker than the combination of killing illusion, and lies. It should even be much stronger. As long as I obtain the divine authority of killing, I can obtain a powerful attacking force. When the time comes that I have a full grasp on the divine authority of dragons, then I can even reach level 20.

Louie’s heart gradually calmed. With his future plans, it wouldn’t matter even if another god obtained the divine authority of killing. The new god would not be able to have a complete grasp of the divine authority and at the same time, he could establish majesty for himself.

Divine authorities like war, killing, and destruction were extremely offensive in nature, but unfortunately, most of the divine authority of war belonged to the god of war. Unless he fell, others would not be able to obtain it, so Louie gave it a pass.

The divine authority of destruction on the other hand was completely scattered. Many gods, including powerful gods, held a little in their hands, making this divine authority almost impossible to complete.

The most likely complete divine authority of killing should be with Shae, but now Louie would substitute her.

“Your Highnesses, the meeting is adjourned. Next, please send an incarnation to the Underworld after condensing them and let us gods temporarily share the authority over death.”

After deciding on three important matters concerning the gods, the Goddess of Morning directly adjourned the meeting.

Louie was about to leave when he saw Lorentia suddenly look at him and speak with a beautiful voice full of justice and light, “Your Highness Louie, as a new god and a pioneer, I hope that you will not interfere too much with the affairs of the main continent.”

“Eh?”

Louie did not expect that the Goddess of Morning would direct her words at him. This caused Louie, who wanted to lay-low, to suddenly become the center of attention of the gods.

The gods all looked at him. Both new gods and ancient gods held curiosity in their eyes. Only the ancient gods had other thoughts running in their heads. They were smart enough to guess that Louie had inherited the legacy of the past Dragon God from his strong rise.

In the past, when all the gods had not ascended yet, Louie’s Dragon City became famous all over the continent, but everyone had been preparing to ascend, and as a result, they were unable to visit his Dragon City. After ascending, Louie was the only god among the new gods to reach a high level of 7 in just a few short days.

The speed of his rise had beaten even some of the ancient gods who had lived past the Era of Disaster.

The vast majority of these gods were friendly. Deities would not easily make enemies, especially against a promising god like Louie unless there were fundamental conflicts of interest.

The Goddess of Love and Beauty’s gaze was filled with passion. Louie could feel her prickly gaze even in the Pantheon. In the Goddess of Love’s point of view, Louie and Selune had given birth to a child, meaning that love had existed. This was also what the Goddess of Love was after.

Mortals spread love easily, but there were extremely few cases of gods in love. If every god could fall in love, then the Goddess of Love might even be able to reach level20 in an instant, but unfortunately, this was only her fantasy.

‘Is that a threat?’

Becoming the focal point of the gods didn’t give Louie any discomfort. Thinking back, he had felt apprehensive when being watched by dozens of people in school, but now he was able to remain calm in front of actual deities.

Louie first thought that the Goddess of Warning was trying to threaten him, but he was able to see Lorentia’s sincere gaze and gentle voice.

‘No, not a threat, but a polite admonition.’

Almost no other god had the same system as Louie who had both controls of church and state. If he only did this among dragons, no one would care. He was the God of Dragons so no one would say anything, but Louie had gained the faith of humans, beastmen, elves, dwarves, and many others.

Louie’s method was to force the power of kings to serve his divine right so that his church would become the state religion of the country. The advantage of this was that missionary work was very fast because faith was mandatory. On the other hand, there was also a huge disadvantage. If his faith was too uniform and his Dragon City was captured, he would immediately lose most of his believers.

Another point was that if Louie’s Dragon City invaded other cities and forcibly transformed the faith of those he invaded, then it was easy to make enemies of the gods there.

The churches of other gods were also rooted in major countries, but no one controlled the state like him. The other churches only preached. Although this was slow, it was very stable. No matter how the state changed, faith wouldn’t change much.

The Goddess of Morning was precisely cautioning Louie of this, telling him that his missionary approach would leave him with unstable faith as well as make it easy to establish enemies.

In other words, the Goddess of Morning was befriending him.

Louie understood her meaning in an instant. It seemed that the Goddess of Morning was afraid that Selune would go all out against her, but since the Goddess was full of good intentions, Loue could not afford to be cold towards her, and responded in a warm voice, “Thank you for your reminder, Your Highness Lorentia. I have no plans of expanding my influence on the main continent. And even if some gods are aggressive, I also have my means of fighting back.”

Louie was quite eloquent in replying. The gods had already noticed that Dragon City was initiating a march. He said this not only to show that he did not intend to seize the faith of the other gods and would not mix in church and state affairs too much. At the same time, he let the Goddess of Magic and the Goddess of Earth take the blame because this war was originally provoked by them.

“Humph!”

The Goddess of Earth and Goddess of Magic, of course, knew what Louie was referring to. They both grunted to express their dissatisfaction. At the same time, they were surprised that Louie had found out about their plans before they even began to act. They began to wonder if there were any spies in their church, but this seemed highly unlikely.

“Hahaha!! I would like to wish you a great victory, Your Highness Louie!”

At this time, the God of War Marzalis suddenly spoke out, causing the faces of the Goddess of Magic and Goddess of Earth to grow ugly.

In this world where gods exist, blessings from a god were the real deal. Although the blessing that the God of War gave might not make Louie instantly win the war, it could at least increase the chances of victory by 10%.

The God of War spared no effort to express his goodwill.

Louie smiled. For the God of War, he hoped that war would increase more. The more wars existed in the world, the stronger he became. If the God of War was thrown to modern Earth, his level would definitely drop as only constant skirmishes took place, with large-scale conflicts being thrown to the back burner.

The God of War hated peace the most.

“Thank you for your blessing, Your Highness Marzalis.”

Towards the God of War’s goodwill, Louie accepted it all. With that, the meeting of the gods ended with many gods having different thoughts.

……

On the main continent, on the summit of a canyon that led towards the Seven Kingdom Alliance—

Alexia’s body stood at the highest point of the canyon. She wore a gorgeous crown while wearing the legendary silver armor of the ancient elves that was painted with exquisite and magical patterns. Her petite body looked majestic and her cloak fluttered under the fierce wind. Her hands folded on the hilt of a fine longsword.

This sword was one of Alexia’s claws that had been directly infused with Louie’s divine power, creating a lesser divine artifact. This was also the method dragons chose to use their weapons in their humanoid forms. For example, Louie used his own tail and turned it into a lance.

In the sky, a huge shadow dragon swept across the sky, beside it were hundreds of dragon riders. In the distance, an adult red dragon was also moving on the ground.

This red dragon was the same red dragon that had barged into Dragon City. Alexia promised that if it helped the city win the war, then she would relieve it of the duty of laying eggs.

Naturally, the main reason was that the ‘essence’ of this red dragon had been drained. At most, it could only lay a few hundred dragon eggs, but it did not know this. After learning that he did not have to bear the shame of laying eggs as a male dragon anymore and under Alexia’s demigod level of pressure, he did not even think of disagreeing.

Tens of thousands of troops marched in this narrow canyon. Darkness covered the canyon from end to end as soldiers marched shoulder to shoulder with each other. There were a total of tens of thousands of human knights, beastmen warriors, elven rangers, and even a group of a hundred mages and priests. In addition, they had also recruited from the druids and hippogryph knights of the Silver Moon Kingdom. This was Dragon City’s military strength.

This military power was still far from what the Theocracy or the Subila Empire could command, but now that the two countries had fallen apart, it was already considered a powerful military among the many territories.

“This is the property left to me by Father God. I will bring victory to Father God!”

The young dragon was like a queen as she watched her army advance into the distance on the expedition!
