I, The Dragon Overlord Chapter 521

Published at 19th of April 2023 04:19:51 PM

The Goddess of Morning looked deeply at Louie before smiling and speaking, “His Highness Marzalis’ behavior is indeed a bit overboard. He is actively provoking a war that will cause a large number of human casualties. The human gods are also unwilling to see this happen.”

“I will step in once, but only once, Your Highness Louie! It is impossible for me to help you with all my might. It is impossible for us to have a truly close relationship. You are the supreme god of the dragon system, at odds with the human gods, and an ally of Her Highness Selune.”

“Even if you choose to turn your back on Her Highness Selune and ally with me, you would have broken your promise with her. My justice will never permit me to ally with a traitor. So after this time, our relationship will remain hostile, because Her Highness Selune and I are now in a situation where one of us is bound to lose. It’s either I take everything from Her Highness Sleune or Her Highness Sleune takes everything from me and recovers her past glory.”

Lorentia, the Goddess of Morning, did not hide anything and told Louie in a straightforward manner that when this event was over, she would once again return to a hostile state against him.

The Goddess of Love and Beauty’s antagonists were the God of War and the Goddess of Earth. The Goddess of Silver Moon’s antagonists were the Goddess of Magic, the Goddess of Night, and the Goddess of Morning. The Goddess of Night’s antagonists were the Goddess of Magic, the Goddess of Morning, and the Goddess of Silver Moon. These complex relationships could be immensely difficult to sort out.

“Step in once? Stepping in once is enough. Then let me be bold and make a request: when you help me this time, can you only make a move when I ask you to step in?”

The Goddess of Morning smiled gently. Her smile was full of kindness, like the sunrise warming the world. She helplessly shook her head, “You really like to wring people of their promises. I was thinking of helping you casually, but now it seems that it is not possible. Then I’ll agree to your request, Your Highness Louie. I will wait until you need me before stepping in.”

“Thank you for your selflessness, your Highness Lorentia!”

Louie slightly lowered his head, signifying his gratitude to this goddess.

After that, he asked, “What do you think about Her Highness Chauntea?”

“I understand what you mean, Your Highness Louie! I’d like to make it clear that I have been close allies with Her Highness Chauntea for countless years, even closer than you can imagine. However, please rest assured that I will not help her in your battle for divine authority with her.”

“I was surprised that Her Highness Chauntea had regained her youth and vitality, but I congratulated her. Still, our relationship had become a lot more complicated. In the past, I had no disputes with Her Highness Chauntea over interest, but now, both of us have our own goals. Although the covenant between us will not change, our relationship is gradually rusting away. That’s why I’m also sad.”

The Goddess of Morning sighed and said.

In the past, Chauntea had always appeared like an old granny. For the gods, this Mother Earth Goddess was like their beloved mother. She was a goddess that had no enmity against other gods and reached a godhood of level 19. Since no god dared to provoke her and she was allied with the Goddess of Morning, it could be said that she occupied a detached position within the pantheon.

During that era, Chauntea had a good relationship with the Goddess of Morning, mainly because the Goddess of Morning represented the morning sun, the beginning of the day, and the start of life. Chauntea who had been growing older relied on the Goddess of Morning’s touch to let herself barely survive.

If the Goddess of Morning’s divine authority was sunset instead of sunrise, Chauntea would have distanced herself from her.

“Her Highness Chauntea has regained her vitality. As a former high-tier god, she possesses a powerful ambition to go further and she has lost her original detached mentality. Please rest assured about this Your Highness Louie. In the matter of Her Highness Chauntea, all the gods will choose to support you, even if they seem to be your enemy.”

“Whether it is the human gods, the beastman gods, the dwarven gods, none of them will be willing to see an existence above the gods that could suppress everything. As long as the part of the divine authority of earth is firmly in your hands, Chauntea will not be able to break through.”

The Goddess of Morning smiled and said.

“Then what about you, Your Highness? Are you also trying to break through to a higher position and become the god of gods?”

Louie asked an extremely pointed question.

In the face of this question, Lorentia did not get angry and instead asked straightforwardly, “This is a goal that every former high-tier god possesses, but too many gods have failed. Even the Prince of Lies who was the closest was not able to take the first step.”

“Is that so? I understand. Then I will take my leave now, Your Highness Lorentia!”

Louie smiled without saying anything. He was just like all the gods, with strong intentions of becoming the god of gods. Unlike the others, however, he had a clear direction to move towards.

Lorentia was one of the gods who was most likely to be able to reach level 20 godhood. As long as she regained the original divine authority of the sun from Selune, she could open the door to the origin of goodness, breaking through to become the supreme being.

“Then I will not see you off, but next time, I will not let you into my divine kingdom. I always feel that just seeing you will bring me misfortune.”

Lorentia joked and said bluntly.

“Haha, it’s better not to be too arrogant, Your Highness Lorentia! Perhaps the next time you see me, you will be very surprised. I will be looking forward to your assistance in the Astral Realm.”

Louie, who had completed his tasks, dispersed the demigod incarnation with a loud laugh. With a thought, he sent his divinity out of the Goddess of Morning’s divine kingdom.

……

In the Astral Realm, Louie and his allies were gradually getting more and more disadvantaged. Their enemies were the humans’ and beastmen’s gods of war, as well as the ancient Goddess of Earth.

Louie and the Silver Moon Goddess could barely fight the two gods of war, but the Goddess of Love and Beauty facing the Goddess of Earth was helpless.

As the battle raged on, Selune, who had sent over six incarnations, sent back three of them to the Gate of the Moon. This let Louie know that the Spider Goddess had begun her attack, so Selune had to go back and defend.

With three fewer incarnations, the situation was more and more unfavorable to Louie. The enemy gods were even able to relax a bit and have some incarnations remain watching.

Louie was now indignant about that troublesome Spider Goddess because her attack almost made him lose any chance of victory. Even if the Goddess of Morning promised him one strike, that one strike alone would not be able to reverse the current unfavorable situation.

‘Since this is the case, I can only use the lowest strategy.’

Louie made a vicious decision in his heart. Even if he had to pay a certain price, he will not take this loss quietly.

“Your Highness Louie, I think we have something we can talk about in private.”

Just when the war between the gods was at its most intense, the dulcet voice of the Mother Earth Goddess’ reached Louie’s ears.
