I, The Dragon Overlord

Louie frowned slightly. He believed about 90% of the Mythril King’s words because she was in front of him, a true god. He did not think that she would dare to deceive him and as a true god, Louie did not detect any lies in her words.

Unless the god helping Heloise had the divine authority of lies, it was difficult for even a demigod to deceive a god. Now that only Princess Andrea knew where the divine authority of lies was, Louie could only choose to believe this dragon.

Besides, Louie did not detect the scent of any other god at all and did not find anything protecting Heloise. If there was no protection from the gods yet Heloise dared to appoint herself as the Dragon God, then it was no longer a matter of boldness, but stupidity to the core.

If what this female dragon said was true, then all of her actions had a reasonable explanation.

‘Dragons’ and ‘good dragons' might differ by a word, but the gap between the concepts was actually quite huge. One was the god of all dragons, while the other was only the dragons in the good faction. From the beginning, these two would have a relationship of master and subordinate.

“So that’s how it is. Then it seems that I have misunderstood you, and I have to praise you even.”

Since Heloise was not his enemy and was not prepared to fight for divine authority against him, then Louie did not make it hard for her. Instead, Louie’s expression turned amiable and cordial. The rapid change of mood stunned the Mythril King.

Because in Louie’s opinion, Heloise's choice to become the Good Dragon God expressed her submission to him, the Dragon God. This was the same as voluntarily joining the Dragon God System.

A dragon who is also a god was willing to submit to him. As the main god, Louie naturally welcomed it.

At the same time, Louie finally understood why the dragons here did not have any faith in the Dragon God and only maintained respect. At first, Louie thought that they did not acknowledge him as the Dragon God, but now, it was only because all the dragons here were Heloise’s believers.

There was a saying called the servant of my servant is not my servant. This was a kind of subordinate relationship. They only believed in honoring their god and would not believe in a stronger god.

“Praise? I wonder what you want to praise me for, God Louie?”

Seeing Louie understand her meaning, Heloise felt happy. This extremely gentle-natured dragon showed a bright smile and asked in a gentle tone.

“Of course, I want to praise your choice. Heloise, you established this kingdom while the gods were asleep so as to obtain faith from humans. For you to have made this precaution a thousand years ago, you are rare among the dragons for your wisdom.”

Louie sighed in admiration because she chose the same method as him. They both used human faith to circumvent the dragon’s low population. Moreover doing this before the gods awakened was the same as making the human gods turn silent. In the end, those gods could only admit that a portion of human believers had been taken away.

This was especially so for Heloise having this intent a thousand years ago. Although this female dragon was bad at governing the country, the gods did not need such a strong ability to govern. This was a long-term vision needed as a god.

But, just as Louie expressed his admiration for Heloise, he found that the atmosphere turned strange. Those elder dragons and ancient dragons covered their faces with shame.

While Louie was puzzled, the Mythril King Heloise also blushed with embarrassment, “Thank you for your praise, but I haven’t really thought about things that much. I advocate equal communication with races other than dragons and hope to help other races as much as possible with a dragon’s ability. This idea did not receive much response among the dragons.”

Heloise’s words made Louie nod. It wasn’t that there were no good dragons, but that they were too few compared to the evil dragons. As for the neutral dragons, they held the majority position, but they only cared for themselves. Those dragons would not help others nor would they play this simulation game. They were satisfied with living on their own acre of land.

“Because not many dragons agree with me, and Drexler has more follower dragons, I was dissatisfied and brought away the dragons who were willing to follow me from the floating island. We wandered around to help other races when we came to this land fourteen hundred years ago. Here, beasts and magical beasts bred a lot causing humans to have a hard time surviving. At that time, I helped the humans repel the attack of the magical beasts.”

“Then… those humans kneeled and worshiped me. Somehow, I ended up becoming the queen of this palace. After I conveyed my ideas to the humans, I was surprised to find that humans were more receptive to my ideas than the dragons, so I became the queen to protect the humans here during these fourteen hundred years. At the same time, I was able to make more humans agree with my ideas.”

“Therefore, I am completely ignorant of what you said about the gods awakening and whatnot. I must’ve become a joke in your eyes.”

The Mythril King said in embarrassment. She lowered her head and squirmed like a shy daughter-in-law.

Louie could not help but look at Alexia and Noella who were also dumbfounded. The two dragons wanted to open their mouths, but could not say anything in the end.

This was especially so for Noella. She could not believe that the famous Mythril King would be such a shy girl. This was too far away from the image of a dragon or a powerful queen!

At the same time, Noella felt sour in her heart. She had gone to great lengths to plan her path to becoming a demigod but only ended up becoming a shadow dragon and lost her body.

On the other hand, Heloise did not know anything and just went with the flow. Not only did she become a demigod, but she was also now infinitely close to becoming a god.

This kind of luck was simply unbelievable.

Louie had to admit that the Mythril King’s luck was simply too godly.

She had her point of view which was equivalent to having her own doctrine. Leaving aside whether this doctrine would be accepted by all dragons, as long as there is a small part that did, she had a complete foundation to ascend. Moreover, those dragons who were supporting her doctrine were also strong and followed her around.

Secondly, she inexplicably became the queen of a country, which provided her with more believers. After Heloise protected the nation for more than a thousand years and conveyed her ideas to the people, she inadvertently spread her faith, causing an unknown number of humans to believe in her.

Finally, the most powerful part of Heloise’s luck was that she completed everything while the gods had not awakened. This allowed her to fulfill the basic conditions of being able to ascend. Now that times had changed and the gods awakened, she had the chance to ascend.

The timing, the location, and the people, all of these elements came to Heloise by pure coincidence. This allowed her to be able to ascend without her knowing anything.

This was simply destiny.

The Obsidian King might have more dragon believers, but if you count the humans believing in the Mythril King, the amount of faith they gave was a lot higher than what the Obsidian King received from dragons.

After a moment of silence, Louie sighed, “It seems that I am overthinking this. Sometimes, the simplest way of thinking is the right way when facing the gods.”

Heloise gave Louie a thorough lesson. She let her know that not all gods were as calculating. For example, the Goddess of Love and beauty Sune was closer to a ‘moron’. But because she had lived for a long time and seen many things, her deep and knowledgeable tone of voice could make others easily misunderstand.

So, Louie finally understood that becoming a god was indeed 70% luck and 30% hard work. Wasn’t he also the same in that regard? He had encountered the Terran Civilization's Intelligent Brain, obtained the Five-colored Dragon God’s godhood, and easily ascended. In this way, his ascension was also thanks to luck

This was the so-called heavenly destiny.

If you couldn’t become the god of gods, then it was impossible to escape from the heavenly destiny.

At this moment, Louie had already determined that Heloise’s words of having him kill the Obsidian Dragon were not some scheme. These were simply her genuine words from this dumb female dragon.

‘It was my mistake thinking of you as a cunning dragon with a plan.’

Louie thought to himself.
