I, The Dragon Overlord-Novel

‘Should I compromise or choose to be stubborn?’

Louie stood in deep thought.

From the perspective of protecting his interests, compromising would be the most correct solution. Handing over the relatively useless divine authority of earth in exchange for the integrity of the divine authority of dragons would allow him to maintain his identity as the Dragon God. With the divine authority of dragons, Louie’s next plan of attacking the Abyss would be fully realized. He could continue to hide and evolve unnoticed in the direction of the Serpent of Order.

But after handing over the divine authority of earth, there would be another huge problem. That was the food requirements of Dragon Kingdom.

With the material resources he brought from Earth and the improved seeds, he would be able to feed Dragon City of only 500,000 people.

Dragon City might be able to become the most prosperous city on the main continent, but Dragon City was no longer just one city. After invading and occupying two countries of the Seven Kingdom Alliance, the population of the country was more than ten times what it was before.

Under this situation, the improved seeds obtained from Earth would not be able to satisfy the population. With a population of close to ten million, the material resources of Earth could not bear it.

Even Earth hadn’t fully solved the food and clothing problem. Some countries still had starving people. The sudden emergence of ten million more people to feed would be a great burden.

And Louie did not want to fully rely on Earth’s resources. When he first built the city, relying on Earth’s resources to maintain it was nothing, but now, he needed to find a way to make his followers self-sufficient. Only that was the right way.

In this case, Louie utilized the divine authority of earth. With the combination of the divine authority of earth and the improved seeds from Earth, the output of food in the backward world of San Soliel became unimaginable. It allowed the subjects of the Dragon Kingdom to maintain food sufficiency. He even had a surplus to export to the Silver Moon Kingdom.

It was thanks to this that the citizens of the kingdom could eat. Such a simple and ordinary condition was the reason why the faith of the people in Louie was so strong that many human gods were jealous.

Otherwise, how could Louie as a dragon gain the faith of the humans? How could humans be so devout to him just by virtue of his divine authority of dragons?

The main reason Louie was able to gain the faith of humans was the divine authority of earth.

The same idea was true for the Mother Earth Goddess. She wanted to obtain the seeds that Louie used and then use her divine authority of earth to recover her original form. The two-pronged approach would allow her faith to reach a qualitative change and breakthrough to godhood of level 20 in one fell swoop. This was because her name as the Mother Earth Goddess would become unopposed. He would become closely related to all the food in the world.

At the same time, because food would become sufficient, the human population would grow and increase the god’s faith, especially when human food was grown by the gods and not humans. That way, she would be able to rise up once more.

Chauntea clearly had immense ambition. Moreover, she was still thinking of a way to steal the seeds from Louie.

“If I lose the divine authority of the earth, Dragon Kingdom will fall…”

Louie’s true body opened its eyes. His five real heads and four virtual heads let out a sigh.

As ‘nine’ was an extreme number, Louie considered himself to have surpassed the Five-colored Dragon God and become a nine-headed Dragon God, occupying the ultimate position.

“Without the divine authority of earth, my subjects will once again live a miserable life for a piece of black bread. The entire economy of Dragon Kingdom will instantly collapse. There are still many holes in the management of the kingdom because Danbusil and Selar were seized not long ago. A single bit of negligence will cause the economy to collapse.”

Louie had learned a lot of Earth’s economic knowledge when Dragon City came under his rule. He knew that an unstable economy could easily cause a country to collapse.

“Giving up Dragon City will return it to its past form. Although I have the faith of the dragons on my side and maintain my godhood to reach high-tier divine power, there would not be enough free space left for my subordinate gods.”

Louie murmured. If so, then his previous plan to establish a dragon god system would definitely collapse. He could only be like the Five-colored Dragon God, clinging to the faith of the dragons alone and no longer having the power to intervene in the human god system.

And if he could not intervene in the human god system, then his alliance with the Goddess of Love and Beauty might also be terminated. He would also become marginalized, simply because the human gods were the main protagonists of the world. Even if all the non-human gods worked together, their numbers would never reach the number of human gods!

He sighed and then broke into raucous laughter.

“Hahahaha! I am a dragon. An arrogant dragon. How can I accept the threats of others? How could I be submissive? A dragon will always move forward with force to fight against a deadlock. A dragon will never choose to compromise. This is a dragon, a stubborn dragon, a ‘stupid’ dragon, but also a dragon’s glory!”

“Moreover, I am the Dragon Overlord! How could I sign this disgraceful treaty that puts my subjects at risk? How could I make my followers see me, their god, their king, their lord, as a loser?!”

Louie’s eyes cleared up. He remembered the fear of those people in ragged clothes when he had just established his kingdom. He remembered the worship his subjects placed on him as he gradually developed the city. He remembered the devotion of the people to him when his church was established. The fervor of those who would rather sacrifice themselves for the sake of the God they believe in.

If he could not even protect his own subjects as a true god, then such a god was better abandoned.

Murderous intent came from Louie’s eyes as he already made a decision.

Next, he would call the Goddess of Morning, so that her appearance would attract the attention of the gods. At that moment, Louie’s incarnation of order would trigger the power of order and deal a killing blow to the Obsidian King.

This is available on bit.ly/3Tfs4P4.

As for the consequences of doing so, Louie already guessed that he would become a thorn in the side of the gods. The gods would begin to treat him as their greatest enemy.

It was likely that the Silver Moon Goddess would become wary of him because the gods definitely did not want anyone above them.

But so what? So what if he became the enemy of the world? As long as he could get through this difficult time, he could become the god of gods!

Inside the Sleeping Dragon Temple, Louie’s demigod incarnation that was sitting on the throne turned serious and seemed to be hesitating.

On the other hand, Chauntea, who was in the guest position continued to urge, “Your Highness Louie, the Obsidian King has already begun to ascend. You have no more time to think, please make up your mind quickly.”

The Mother Earth goddess revealed a triumphant smile. In her opinion, Louie had no way out. As long as he was smart enough, he would certainly choose to make a deal with her.

Louie took a deep look at Chauntea and slowly opened his mouth as she was smiling victoriously.

However, what happened next was something none of the gods present, not even Louie, could predict. It was a reversal of epic proportions.
