Chapter 510 - There Are Always Gods Jumping Around In Front Of Me

The reason why dragons gathered together when they retired was to have their bones buried. In this world, there were countless mages that played with death. A dragon, especially an old dragon’s body, was the best material for magic. Each and every part of a dragon down to its blood was an expensive material sold in the black market. If a necromancer could obtain an entire dragon’s skeleton, they could even create bone dragons.
A bone dragon created from an ancient dragon’s corpse had the power of a rank 9 powerhouse. Because of the decaying flesh, their combat ability would be reduced but a dragon was still a dragon. They were far stronger than a normal warrior. If a mage were to perform legendary-level necromancy, then they might even create a legendary rank death dragon.
As a result, dragons would gather on the floating island when they reach old age. They would wait until their death and be buried properly. This was the right way for dragons to die. As dragons, they have a pride that they would never allow themselves to be made into puppets after death.
One by one, dragons soared into the skies of the divine kingdom, searching for the environment most suitable for them. When Louie saw clockwork dragons enter, he immediately transformed a part of his divine kingdom into an area of machinery.
A small part of the old dragons who did not have much vitality immediately went to sleep after finding their own territory, quietly waiting for their death. On the other hand, those who had more vitality were doing important work, which was to dig up the graves of dragons buried in Dragon Island and to rebury them in Dragonblight.
These old and powerful dragons were very fond of how Louie named his divine kingdom Dragonblight. This was because it represents a palace where all dragons could return to and a symbol of their resting place.
At this moment, Louie also placed a restriction on his divine kingdom. It was a rule that did not allow dragons who did not believe in him to come here. Gods were petty beings, and Louie was also quite petty. Since a part of Dragon Island did not believe in him and chose to leave, then he would not shelter those dragons. Before being a dragon, he was a god.
When those dragons died, their corpses would be desecrated by other races, and when their souls went to the underworld, they would face a thousand years of punishment for not having faith. Louie believed that all dragons would honestly choose to believe in him in the future.
“Apart from Abdulfraizer, there are only a little more than thirty true believers. I can only trust these thirty dragons and give them important tasks.”
Louie propped his hand on his cheek while his other hand tapped the armrest of his throne.
He was now thinking of what to do next and prepared for the worst.
If he lost this divine war, he wouldn’t really die, but there was a high possibility that his divine kingdom would be blocked and he wouldn’t be able to get out. He even guessed that the beastmen were preparing to attack the Dragon Kingdom, and even the humans might do the same in a vain attempt to eliminate his believers. That way, he would fall down in ranks and become a low-tier god.
If it really came to that, Louie had decided to send all these thirty dragons to the Land of Dragons along with elves as reinforcement. They would probably be able to resist for a long time unless a god shamelessly interfered and attacked his believers.
However, this would be the last thing gods ever think of, unless they were crazy. And if there were indeed such a god, then Louie was also prepared to stop hiding his Foreign God of Order godhood. He would use this power to kill all the god’s believers and let him completely fall. No matter what god it was, as long as they had no believers, they would certainly die.
The result of this would be Louie becoming a street rat that everybody wanted to kill. He would become the enemy of all gods and most of his allies would distance themselves from him. Even the Silver Moon Goddess was no exception. This was because his behavior would be considered a rebellion against the rules set by the gods. His power would not be enough to allow him to trump all the gods and would result in a panic among the gods.
Louie was never a wimpy god who would just take an attack without retaliating. If things truly reached that point, Louie would hide for thousands to hundreds of thousands of years until he possessed the ability to fight against the gods. Then he would come out and play war games with them.
“I hope I never have to reach that step. This is not a wise man’s behavior, but a fool’s. Naturally, I only need a few hundred years to become the god of gods. Extending this time infinitely longer and possibly losing the qualifications to do so is stupid.”
Louie exhaled a long breath. He was a tree who longed for peace but the wind would just not stop blowing. Fortunately, Earth provided him with a constant source of faith. With the power of faith from the other world, he would be able to continue to break through the path of order. If he was a native god of San Soliel, he would probably have no choice at this moment.
Perhaps the other gods thought that Louie was now dancing at the tip of the knife, but only Louie himself knew that he had a lot of trump cards that he could play. If anyone thought that they could bite a piece of his flesh, then Louie would let them know what was truly life-threatening.
“Da-da-da-da-”
The sound of footsteps echoed from the halls of the temple. Louie raised his eyes to see the Goddess of Darkness in the clothes of a dancer appear in front of him. Her alluring face was covered with a layer of a veil and her ink-jade skin was slightly visible through her thin muslin clothes, emitting endless and tantalizing temptation.
In the past, Louie might have felt moved by this act and had the Goddess dance as he tasted her delicate body, but now he was not in that kind of mood.
He gazed at the ancient goddess and asked, “Is there any reason why you have come, Your Highness Shae?”
“You know why Lord God!”
The Goddess said in a delicate voice as if she was a dangerous poppy. Although her divine voice was beautiful, the person was like a poisonous flower, “Let me first congratulate you. You have become the Dragon God and have finally finished your preparations to become a high-tier god. That way, I, the ‘Kobold God’ could be more convincing.”
Shae giggled and laughed.
Then she suddenly stopped. Her bent waist straightened and spoke in a sultry voice, “My main god, you have really caused some trouble. I can’t even reach mid-tier divine power quietly and have to be involved in this war that I do not want to participate.”
“Then you have misunderstood me, Your Highness Shae… I have no intention of fighting with the gods, but they are always jumping around in front of me and distracting me.”
Louie spoke with confidence that contained self-pride. This was because he was far from the end of the road, so he naturally would not feel any tension and worry.
