I, The Dragon Overlord

Fear and madness swept through Kulthumak’s body when he saw Shae. In the history of the gods over the past countless years, many gods had moments of glory that made other gods fear them, but the glory that they possessed was ultimately fleeting and faded away in the vast sands of time.

The only one who never lost hers was Shae, the ancient god of darkness. Those that died under her hands were uncountable.

However, in the next moment, Kulthumak found that something was wrong with the Shae that appeared in front of him. In the Era of the Gods, Shae’s godhood was up to level 18, and even a single one of her incarnations was at mid-tier, but now she was only at the legendary rank.

Kulthumak even thought that he was mistaken and that this was an illusion made by Shae, but when he carefully identified it, he found that Shae’s incarnation was truly at the legendary rank. Moreover, this could only be considered a projection and not an incarnation.

Kulthumak was overjoyed and hope sprang up deep inside his heart which was already consumed by despair. As he had thought, Shae had been targeted by the gods which prevented her from ascending.

“How dare you appear in front of me in that state. Die you bitch! You traitor!”

Anger rose from Kulthumak’s heart. He felt ashamed of the fear that welled up in him because of Shae’s appearance. When Kulthumak found out that it was actually Shae who had plotted against him, he feared that he would be killed, but after realizing that Shae was not even a god, he regained his fighting will.

After barely dodging another one of Louie’s strikes, Kulthumak ignored the injuries on his body and charged at Shae’s incarnation. He thought that as long as he killed Shae’s incarnation, he would have hope of escaping, and a legendary rank powerhouse couldn't resist a god’s death-defying efforts.

Faced with Kulthumak’s desperate yet terrifying strike, Shae’s incarnation was indeed unable to retaliate, but her expression remained serene and empty, frightening Kulthumak. At this moment, a sense of fear burst from his heart once more, but immediately afterward, he made up his mind and rushed at Shae and thrust his spear at her face.

“Heavenly Possession!”

But Kulthumak’s blow that contained all his hope fell short. Right behind him, Louie unleashed his divine skill once more.

This time, he used his dream incarnation on Shae!

Shae’s serene face revealed a delicate smile. She didn't resist Louie’s possession of her body and obediently allowed Louie’s will and divine power to take over her incarnation.

Compared to Alexia’s ability to withstand all of Louie’s power, Shae was unable to do so, but as the former Goddess of Night, Shae’s adaptability to divine power was quite good. After Louie’s possession, she gained virtual godhood of level 0.

Although level 0 was barely a god, it was still an incarnation of god nonetheless, and it had the power to fight with another God.

In order to guarantee that he could kill Kulthumak, Louie utilized all his divine power to the greatest extent. His current body was using the divine authority of time, Alexia’s body was using the divine authority of life, and Shae’s body was using the divine authority of dreams. One was a godhood of level 4, another of level 2, and finally one of level 0. With three bodies moving together, a god that did not have much divine power left was doomed.

Compared to Alexia, Louie did not use his willpower to control Shae and gave her the freedom to move. Shae was definitely familiar with the divine authority of dreams. Even if she could not use the power of the divine domain, she could use the power of the incarnation to fight in close combat.

This time, Shae used her full power. Killing Kulthumak was in her best interest, so how could she hold back? After obtaining the power up from Louie’s Heavenly Possession, she already had the ability to fight against the gods. The Disc of Darkness appeared in her ears. It was a divine weapon that accompanied her for millions of years and was famous among the gods.

Even without divine power, the Goddess of Night was a full-fledged shadow dancer, assassin, and warlock. It could be said that even without her godhood, no mortal could defeat her. This time, she was displaying the full might of an ancient god’s combat skills to Louie.

She seemed like a butterfly in the night that danced beautifully, but the wheel blade in her hand was like a poisonous snake that bit Kulthumak from all angles. Her body posture writhed and contorted as did serpents of legend. Although she was level 0, she had beaten back Kulthumak to the point that he couldn’t retaliate.

Louie admired the beautiful and powerful fighting style of Shae. He secretly exclaimed that her fighting style was awe-inspiring.

Afterward, Louie joined the fray. He transformed into a dragon and attacked together with Shae. His claws swiped, his tail swept, and his sharp teeth tore. In a few blows, Kulthumak was placed in an incredibly dangerous situation. With the ambushes from the incarnation of life, this Kobold God’s face went pale.

He roared, growled, cursed, and dodged, but no matter what he did, his terrible state did not change as his divine blood spilled on the ground under his feet. His divine power had long been exhausted. His divine body was barely holding on with wounds riddled all over.

The Kobold God secretly cursed, knowing that from the beginning to the end, he had fallen into Louie and Shae’s trap. Most likely, even Louie’s action of showing his godhood was within calculation so that he would covet the godhood.

But he could not blame anyone but himself for being greedy.

“God Louie, why are you helping that bitch, Shae!! She is now wanted and being hunted by the gods. Helping her is the same as turning yourself into the enemy of the gods. As a new god, making an enemy of the gods would surely be your end!”

“Shae is sinister and cunning. She has killed countless gods. No matter what promises she had made to you, you should not trust her, or you will be killed by her!”

Kulthumak knew that he was in grave danger. His final words were said in the hope that he could make Louie change his mind.

Because he knew that what could truly kill him was Louie’s power. Whether it was the incarnation of life or the incarnation of dreams, all of them came from Louie. Shae was only given the right to use that power.

“God Louie, how about you and I join forces! We’ll find Shae’s true body and kill her together. You can have her divine authority and divinity, and I’m willing to become a subordinate god to serve you! I can even make a River Styx Oath!”

Kulthuman was furious, but he could only give up his dignity and surrender to Louie.

However, Louie was unmoved and coldly said, “Your Highness Kulthumak, I am not interested in your allegiance, what I need is only your fall.”

Louie’s dragon claws once again tore at Kulthumak’s body, causing a large amount of blood to spray out. A god did not have a fatal weakness, but as Kulthumak restored his body, he would use up more divine power that caused him to be weakened to the extreme.

“Ahhhhhhhhhhh—”

This Kobold God shouted with vengeance and madness in his eyes, “Since you’re going to make me fall, I will not make it easy for you either!”

Kulthumak gathered all his power in one point, and the spear in his hand was pulsating.

Louie was shocked and knew that this was a final blow of a god. Even if Kulthumak desperately self-destructed, it was impossible to kill Louie, but Louie did not want to bear the final fury of a god either.

He suddenly looked at Shae.

Shae sensed Louie’s gaze and was stunned. Her expression changed into one of annoyance and said, “Lord God, what are you doing?!”

Louie had forcibly taken control of Shae’s body with his will.

The current Shae was Louie’s incarnation and was borrowing power from Louie, but the owner was still Louie’s, so he could forcefully control her body.

“Your Highness Shae, you are just a projection at the moment. Even if you die, it won’t really matter. You should bear His Highness Kulthumak’s final fury. I can see that he hates and fears you.”

Louie smiled at Shae with a face that was gloating.

Under the annoyed but helpless expression of the Goddess of Night, Louie possessed her body and had it thrown against Kulthumak’s arm.

At that exact moment, Kulthumak poured the last of his will into his spear and stabbed Shae’s chest with the curse and hatred of the gods.

“Ka-ching—”

That was the sound of Kulthumak’s godhood shattering.

“Booom—”

The final condensation of divine power and shattering of the godhood created a terrifying explosion. The impact of the divine power wreaked havoc everywhere. Louie had been afraid that Kulthumak’s final desperation would destroy the miniature realm, so he raised his hand and imprisoned the detonation within his Domain of Time. Then he tore open a portal and threw the locked space-time into the Astral Realm.

Immediately afterward, Louie unbound time again, and the final impact of Kulthumak’s explosion was all absorbed by the Astral Realm.

Shae’s incarnation had died, and the divine authority of dreams attached to her and the remaining divine power returned to Louie. At the same time, Louie released the Heavenly Possession, causing the divine authority of life and the divine power used on Alexia to return to him.

After taking back the power, Louie looked at the place where Kulthumak had fallen and prepared to receive the spoils of war.
