I, The Dragon Overlord-Chapter 496 - God of Good Dragons
Louie was convinced that dragons were a poor foundation to build a belief system.
With their genetic gifts and unparalleled strength, they had no innate reason to believe in gods. Rather they prized their own abilities above all else. Even Noella, who had followed him for decades now could only barely be called his believer.
If Noella was so, then the same could be said about other dragons. As a god, Louie would not really waste twenty years trying to foster stubborn believers.
If dragons’ souls were not so powerful and valuable, then the gods would have abandoned them long ago.. A race that could not produce faith was simply unnecessary to them.

Even so, with the number of dragons and their nature, the entire dragon race could only create a high-tier god. Louie already had a premonition of this, so he intervened in the human world to seize human faith, or else it would become difficult for him to become a powerful god down the line.
Louie did not really look forward to gaining faith from the dragons. The only reason he wanted their faith was to activate the power of divine authority and mask himself as the Dragon God.
However, even if he did not expect anything from the dragons, the Mythril King’s thoughts of ascending were her not putting his divine self in her eyes at all.
Thinking of this, the dream incarnation revealed heavy killing intent. Even Louie’s killing incarnation was prepared to assassinate Heloise at any time.𝐟𝐫𝗲𝙚ｗ𝚎𝐛𝙣𝐨𝙫𝘦𝗹.c૦m
He believed that the reason Heloise was so bold was that she had the support of a god behind her. However, no matter how hard Louie tried, he could not sense any deities protecting her.
The divine might and the killing intent of a god were enough to frighten the dragons. Even if she was a demigod dragon, Heloise stumbled backward two steps. Her faint silver eyes flashed with surprise. The other dragons were also stunned by the sudden threat that Louie posed. However, dragons truly lived up to their name. They were not afraid of the threat of a god at all and even dared to stare back at Louie and prepared to return to their true forms.
Alexia came to Louie’s side without a sound. She was ready to work together with her Father God. As long as these dragons made a move, she was prepared to bring out her weapons and kill them.
As a young dragon, Alexia’s combat power was not high compared to her human form. She could only use her power as a demigod to fight. Only when Alexia completely grew up would her strength naturally increase greatly, and her body would become her best weapon.
“God Louie, what do you mean? I don’t know what offense I have committed for you to release your divine might. If there is something that displeases you, I hope that you will say it so that I can correct it.”
Although Louie’s divine might was powerful, the Mythril King who was close to ascending was not scared by the divine power. She could even fight Louie if she wanted to, but the results would not be good.
Heloise took a deep breath. Her tone remained calm, unlike the usual dragons who were easily angered. This dragon was able to speak calmly with Louie under his threat rather than making a move directly.
Perhaps because Heloise knew that Louie was a dragon and understood a dragon’s temperamental character, she was already used to it and could continue to maintain a calm attitude.
Louie was certain that the Mythril King was part of the orderly good faction. This was rarely seen among dragons.
Seeing the dragon calmly speak, Louie felt that his loud roar was a bit disgraceful. He suppressed the anger in his heart and calmed his tone, “Mythril King Heloise, do you not understand the rule of the gods? I doubt that’s the case since you have already built up human faith in yourself in this country. If you have the ambition to become a god, then you must understand some of the secrets of the gods.”
“Currently, even if I am the Dragon God, I have not been acknowledged by the dragons. If you choose to ascend, aren’t you going to tear away my divine authority and become the Dragon God?”
When Louie saw that the Mythril King was playing dumb, he was annoyed and clarified his words.
The gods were very petty and would never allow someone to try and obtain their divine authority. If two gods had the same divine authority, then there was a high chance that a divine war could occur where only one side lives.
If a demigod wanted to become a god and their divine authority overlapped with another, the god would certainly retaliate and they would be destroyed before they could become a god.
This was why when the gods returned to their thrones, it was almost impossible to find mortals ascending anymore. Even if a mortal succeeded, they would at most become a low-tier god and stop there.
Because the divine authorities had already been occupied by most gods, trying to steal one was just asking the god to kill you. As for the remaining divine authorities, they were so small that the gods would not even take a second look at them. With these divine authorities, gods would at most be low-tier gods.
But for mortals, being able to ascend would still be lucky no matter what divine authority it was.
“So, tell us, Mythril King Heloise, who is the god backing you? Which god gave you the audacity to speak so loudly in front of me?”
This was actually the reason why Louie was mad. If the Mythril King just wanted to ascend, Louie would not be so annoyed because this was the way of the gods for dragons. They could be said to have a competitive relationship.
However, when he himself appeared and the other party still wouldn’t show up, this was equivalent to not giving him any face, so Louie was angry.
With Louie’s status as a god, even the God of War and the Goddess of Morning would not dare do this.
Louie could also faintly feel that the Mother Earth Goddess might have something to do with this. As for the Goddess of Magic, the losses she had suffered would not allow her to move for a while. Only the Mother Earth Goddess could annoy him now.
Louie already made his preparations. No matter who was protecting the Mythril King, he had decided to kill this female dragon to let her know the price of blasphemy, even if he had to pay an incarnation as a cost.
“God Louie, you have misunderstood something.”
Heloise froze. This gentle-natured silver dragon blinked a few times before it finally dawned on her. She appeared like a natural airhead which was completely contradictory to her current tall and seductive figure. She was more like the loli from before.
“God Louie, I am not trying to make myself the Dragon God. I do not have any god behind supporting me. Could it be that I have a wrong understanding of the gods? Must I become the Dragon God just because I am a dragon?”
Heloise's brows furrowed in anxiety.
This female dragon bit her lips as her eyes watered. Her small hand grabbed the corner of her coat. Her adorable appearance could make anyone doubt that she was a dragon.
The other ancient dragons and elder dragons sighed and could not bear to look. It seems that the image of a squirming little girl might be the norm for the Mythril King.
This was completely different from the majestic queen that Louie imagined.
“If in terms of the divine systems, it’s definitely not like that… for example, the elves and beastmen would not only have their main god, they also have other gods that are part of the system. Although dragon numbers can not compare to those races, dragons are also the same. Many divine authorities exist for the dragons, so are you saying that… you want to ascend with a different divine authority?”
Louie noticed that he seemed to have misunderstood. This female dragon was not preparing to become the Dragon God and take his divine authority.
At first, Louie did not expect this at all. The reason why humans had such a complex system of gods with a variety of gods existing was because of their huge population.𝘧r𝗲𝑒𝔀𝘦𝙗𝓃oν𝑒l.𝐜𝗼m
But dragons were different. The dragons did not have much in terms of population. Just as Louie said before, dragons could only support one high-tier god and that was the Dragon God. If a dragon wanted to become a god with a different divine authority, then it would only become a low-tier god at most.
Given the arrogance of the dragons, it was more appropriate for them to choose a divine authority with more potential. As a result, Louie misunderstood her.
“Exactly, I just want to become the Good Dragon God. I do not intend to compete with your divine throne. Although I am a dragon, I have been living in human society for a long time. I am aware that you are one of the most powerful gods of today. I am not bold enough to go and compete with you.
“But I’m afraid that that guy Drexler won’t think so. He’s a cunning black dragon who’ll definitely want to take away your throne as the Dragon God.”
Heloise said sincerely and even pointed Louie to his true enemy.
Louie did not deny the dragon’s words. This was simply trying to kill with a borrowed knife. This female dragon wanted to defeat her long-time enemy and encouraged him to help her kill the black dragon.
