I, The Dragon Overlord-Novel

Chapter 329: To Kill A God

“Aren’t you acting a little too greedy, Your Highness Louie?”

Shae did not actually mind becoming a subordinate god, especially if it was only for a limited amount of time. Three thousand years might be unpredictable for humans, but for gods, it was just a blink of an eye.

What’s more, even the Silver Moon Goddess Selune, at the lowest point of her life, hugged the Goddess of Love’s thighs and became her subordinate to fight against Shae.

Since even her sister whom she loathed could do it, then naturally she could do the same—

“Your Highness Louie, the River Styx Oath is not to be taken lightly. How can you guarantee that you will help me achieve my purpose? If I become your subordinate for three thousand years and you do not help me in any way, wouldn’t that be too unfair?”

Shae’s tone was serene and calm as she rebutted his offer.

The main reason why the Silver Moon Goddess became the Goddess of Love’s subordinate was that the Goddess of Love was powerful. Even if she wasn’t good at fighting, her nature as a god was powerful enough to help the Silver Moon Goddess resist Shae.

But what did Louie have at the moment? He was only a new god and who knew how far he could go? If Louie could only rise to the level of a low-tier god at the end, how was he going to help Shae become a mid-tier god?

Naturally, she had to be sure that he could live up to his end of the bargain.

The best option for her was to seek refuge with a powerful god, but at the moment she was ostracized by the majority of them. The few remaining gods were already familiar with her and would likely give their all to kill her if she gave them the chance.

Moreover, Shae had a lot of enemies even before her betrayal.

In itself, Shae had already found the best patron before, but because of her defeat in the Shadow Realm, her patron had abandoned her. She had to settle for the second-best and choose Louie.

She believed that she had an upper hand against Louie. Among the gods, only Louie would help her, and he did not resent her as much as other gods.

But Louie, as a new god, wanted to make her his subordinate, which wasn’t a simple matter.

‘This dragon insulted me and humiliated me before, just to make me realize the reality of the situation. Now he wants to use this to completely gain the upper hand and make me serve him for three thousand years.’

‘However, he is indeed quite greedy and clever to just think of twisting the will of a god.’

‘After all, he’s only a new god that doesn’t understand that for gods, only visible benefits are important. Any promises are meaningless.’

The Goddess of Night thought for a long time and decided that if Louie did not change the contents of the covenant, she would just abandon this incarnation. Even if it became Louie’s plaything, she would just go find different ways to restore her godhood. She would never agree to Louie’s current deal.

The dragon had let her recognize the reality of her position, but he did not recognize his.

At this moment, Shae was a little disappointed with Louie.

Louie saw that Shae was silent. Of course, he knew that these false promises would not be able to fool Shae. Once she accepted the covenant, she would be stuck with it for three thousand years. Even Shae must comply, but she could not waste three thousand years of time. If he did not reach the mid-tier within three thousand years, she would certainly fall.

Three thousand years after, there would be no place for her in the world of gods.

Therefore, she needed to be given enough confidence, so that she could believe that he would help her reach her goal.

If he could make Shae become his subordinate, it would help Louie far more than the Silver Moon Goddess. Louie and the Silver Moon Goddess were equal allies. The two had a union of interest. It was also done so that Louie could help improve the elves’ livelihood. It could be said that this was purely monetary diplomacy.

But if Shae became his subordinate, the implications would be different. Even if they were using each other, subordinate gods were compelled to listen to their masters to a certain extent. This was not an alliance, but a relationship between superiors and subordinates.

Even if Shae was not powerful at the moment, the help she could provide was more than the Silver Moon Goddess.

“I have materials of the alien civilization as well as their weapons.”

Louie said tentatively, wanting to borrow the prestige of the Terran Civilization.

As for the Terran Civilization, Louie definitely had them, but it was not his own!

But the Goddess of Night wasn’t easy to fool. Shae smiled but did not say anything. Her quiet eyes remained unchanged like the silent night. Apparently, this wasn’t enough to move her.

“Taking out the weapons of the alien civilization would only attract the hostility of the gods and make them unite against you. This is an act of courting death, Your Highness Louie.”

Hearing Shae say this, Louie knew that he had to come up with something sincere to move Shae’s heart.

He could not show her the faith from Earth nor the power of order that he had opened up. These were Louie’s means to suppress and eliminate the Intelligent Brain from his body. They were not things that he could tell Shae.

‘After all is said and done, this is the only thing that could move Shae.’

Louie sighed. He once again manifested the Dragon God’s godhood in front of Shae just as he had done in front of the Silver Moon Goddess!

“Godhood?! The Five-colored Dragon God’s godhood!”

The still-bound Shae’s expression finally changed as she looked at the geometric crystal floating on Louie’s palm. A touch of greed and eagerness flashed in her unchanging eyes.

If she could get her hands on this godhood, Shae could guarantee that she could easily disguise herself as the Dragon God and then use the power of this godhood to return to the mid-tier level. After which, she could abandon the divine authorities that did not suit her and become the Goddess of the Night once more. Perhaps she could even be the first to reach the high-tier divine power in the world, and then she would no longer be in danger.

However, she immediately rejected this idea. It was unfortunate that she was not Louie’s opponent at all. Even if her real body descended, she would not be able to defeat the dragon. It was better not to have this dangerous idea.

This might be the only godhood that remained after the Era of Disaster. Moreover, it was a godhood that could contain high-tier divine power, and inside it were the Five-colored Dragon God’s divine authorities. Shae believed that she could make use of it.

‘This dragon is simply blessed by fate. Not only could he gain the Five-colored Dragon God’s godhood and divine authority, he also gained Selune’s favor. And now, I’ve taken the initiative to deliver myself.’

The Goddess of Night felt awe.

At this moment, Shae did not think of plotting against Louie anymore. Even for the gods, there were some realms that they could not reach such as luck and fate. Both of them were such arcane and mysterious things. Although there were divine authorities of ‘luck’, ‘misfortune’, ‘destiny’, and others, their influence over powerful gods was minimal, but as long as they were living, everyone had their own fate and fortune.

In Shae’s opinion, the current Louie had the world’s protection. In his most prosperous time, making an enemy out of him was the most foolish choice. Even if you wanted to plot against him, you needed to wait until this magical fortune disappeared.

Gods were originally spiritual existences and believed in the metaphysical and the mysterious.

‘He has the godhood of the Five-colored Dragon God. It’s certain that he would reach the mid-tier divine power. If he works just a little harder, he might even be able to reach a high tier. With the talent and wisdom he possesses, the possibility is very high. I may be able to accept his promise.’

The Goddess of Night thought for a long time and gradually came to a decision. If she was to become the subordinate of a weak god, she would absolutely not do it, but if the other part was a powerful god that could shelter her and help her achieve her goal, then things were different.

In Shae’s opinion, although the road to becoming a god was straightforward, Louie was still a new god with insufficient experience, and that’s where she came in. With her experience as the oldest god, she could make up for his deficiency which Selune could not give him as Selune could not teach him everything.

By forming a complementary relationship, she could make the dragon dependent on her and reap the most benefits.

Shae’s gaze flickered and her tone softened down, “Your Highness Louie, you have the potential to gain my allegiance, but I would like to make some changes to our covenant.”

“Oh? What changes does Lady Night want to make?”

Louie asked unhurriedly. He had temporarily gained the upper hand in their dialogue, and he had no intention of forging an alliance with the Goddess of Night.

As for whether the goddess would become his eternal enemy or not, Louie did not care. He could just work with the gods to get rid of Shae, but he would not gain as many benefits.

Even if Shae wasn’t killed, Louie wasn’t afraid of her regaining her powers. This would only make the alliance between him and the Silver Moon Goddess become tighter and more solid. For this reason, Louie would not lose out.

As long as he did not make peace with the Goddess, then he would have a lot of chances!

“Your Highness Louie, I would like us to add a clause to the oath. As soon as I regain mid-tier divine power, this oath should expire.”

“No way! Even if you recover all of your strength within three thousand years, you must still follow the oath until the end of the three thousand year period.”

Louie did not hesitate to reject Shae’s proposal. How could he just give up having a Goddess in the palm of his hands? He needed her to work for 3000 years and not a day less!

Shae also knew that Louie would not agree to his request. She was just testing out the waters before giving her counter-offer, “Then instead, you must kill a god for me and take their divine authority, so that I can use it as a substitute to hide from other gods.”

“Tsk!

Louie clicked his tongue. Her appetite was indeed huge.
