I, The Dragon Overlord-Novel

The Heavenly Mountain was the highest place in the outer realms. It was the home of the gods of order and goodness. The gods residing in this realm were considered to be among the most benevolent in the minds of mortals.

Among the gods of the good faction, the greatest and most glorious one was the Goddess of Morning.

The Goddess of Morning’s divine kingdom was called the ‘Fortress of Dawn’. It was located at the center of the Heavenly Mountain, which was a realm always shrouded in the glory of morning.

This was the place that all evil gods loathed and demons feared.

Fortunately, as Louie belonged to the neutral faction, the pressure of the light in the territory did not do him too much harm.

Louie’s incarnation turned into a golden dragon and flew to the holy mountain at the center of the divine kingdom. The Fortress of Dawn and Dragonblight were the same in that the temples of the gods were located high up in the mountains at the center of the divine kingdom with the rest of the territory below it.

However, Louie’s divine kingdom had multiple natural characteristics with almost every environment located within it. The Fortress of Dawn, on the other hand, was different. Other than the central sacred mountain, the rest was a plain shrouded in holy light. There weren’t any unique points. It was simple and plain but exuded a sublime holy color.

Louie’s incarnation quickly reached the holy mountain where the temple of the god was located. This mountain seemed to be divided into nine layers with each layer inhabited by angel-like creatures.

All the creatures and believers inside the Fortress of Dawn looked serious and proper, unlike the twisted chaos that existed in the demons of the Abyss. Unlike the realm of the chaotic good, there was beauty in the monotonous orderliness of the place, but this was definitely a place where “good” people lived.

It could be said that the Heavenly Mountain was a palace that the weak and kind longed for.

Louie flew to the top of the holy mountain where the hymns of angels could be heard. The divine emissaries came in all shapes and sizes, with even beastmen standing within the congregation.

It didn’t take long before Louie saw the magnificent sanctuary of the Fortress of Dawn, which floated in the clouds. The light was sprinkled on top of the crystal-like temple, hymns continued to be sung from within, and everything was painted with a sacred whiteness.

When Louie approached the sanctuary, he felt a divine warmth fill his body, Louie knew that this was Lorentia’s gaze. He did not resist and allowed the divine power to wrap around him and transport him to the parlor of the hall.

The goddess sat quietly on her throne. Her gaze was soft, her features were holy and beautiful, her eyes shone like radiant gold, and her body emanated an aura of justice and light. She watched Louie’s arrival with a comforting smile.

“I guessed that you would be coming here to see me, Your Highness Louie.”

The Goddess of Morning smiled and spoke. Her clear voice contained holiness that people would not dare have sinful thoughts.

Louie transformed back from a dragon into a person. His incarnation was in battle so he came here only as a demigod made from divinity. Naturally, he was still a true god in essence, so Lorentia treated him with the courtesy of a god.

“Your Highness Lorentia, I think you know why I have come here.”

Louie sighed and said.

Although the Goddess of Morning was called so, those who knew her well actually knew that her true divine authority was light and justice. Her correct full name should have been the Goddess of Light and Justice.

The ancient god of light and sun was Selune. In the eternal battle with the Goddess of Darkness and Moon, Shae, She had nearly lost all of her divine authority of light, which had then been taken by Lorentia. On the other hand, the divine authority of the sun was divided into three parts - morning, noon, and sunset.

Just as the Goddess of Magic was a god born from the fusion of Shae and Selune’s power, in a way, it could be said that the strongest god of today, the Goddess of Morning Lorentia, was a child of Selune, which was her divine authority.

As the two original goddesses, Selune and Shae’s status were completely different from other gods. They were only second to the existence of the creator god.

Lorentia who was born from the divine authority of light also received a part of the divine authority of the sun, specifically the morning sun. Since then, she had called herself the Goddess of Morning, but in reality, she relied on light to become a powerful god.

In the era of the gods, the Goddess of Morning had a powerful subordinate god who grasped the divine authority of justice. When this subordinate god reached high-tier divine power, he left Lorentia’s divine system, but even so, this powerful God of Justice always supported the decision of the Goddess of Morning.

However, in the Era of Disaster, the God of Justice fell. So in the end the divine authority returned to the Goddess of Morning. As a result, Lorentia now possessed two exceptionally powerful divine authorities.

However, the divine authority of justice was not what Lorentia needed. What she needed were the divine authorities of noon and sunset. That way, she could obtain the full divine authority of the sun. That way, she could become the Goddess of Light and Sun, completely replacing Selune.

As a result, Selune and Lorentia were not on good terms because Lorentia had taken everything that belonged to Selune. However, Selune was helpless to do anything.

Louie, who was a close ally of the Silver Moon Goddess, ordinarily shouldn’t have anything to do with Lorentia, but this time he sorely needed her help.

“Now all the gods are aware of what is happening in the Land of the Dragons and the Astral Realm. Of course, I know what you have come for, but I’m sorry, Your Highness Louie! After all, I am a god of humans, and it’s not possible for me to make an enemy of His Highness Marzalis for you.”

The Goddess of Morning Lorentia shook her head and said regretfully.

Louie frowned. Although the answer was within expectation, it was not the one he wanted.

“Your Highness Lorentia, His Highness Marzalis presumed to provoke a war between humans and beastmen, as the Goddess of Light and Justice, would you want to watch that tragedy happen? This is inconsistent with your divine nature and divine authority, and will leave your divine authority at risk of degradation.”

Louie spoke straightforwardly and pointed to the crux of the matter. The gods of the world of San Soliel had great weaknesses, and that was that their actions needed to conform to their divine authorities. There was a high probability of their divine authorities being torn apart if they did not do so. It could even cause a shift in their factional nature.

The Goddess of Justice needed to uphold justice. This was the requirement of holding the divine authority!

It was the same for Louie. If the dragon race was in a crisis, Louie would have to go even if he had to make sacrifices. Otherwise, his divine authority would be torn apart.

As expected, Louie’s words caused Lorentia’s mood to fluctuate.

If no one had spoken to her face, she could have turned a blind eye to it. It would not bring any stain to her divine authority, but if someone spoke out in front of her but she still did not fulfill ‘justice’, then she wouldn’t be able to justify her actions to herself.

“I probably shouldn’t have met you, Your Highness Louie! But even so, it is impossible for me to help you completely because what His Highness Marzalis did is in accordance with the justice of ‘humanity’.”

The Goddess said.
