The Dragon Kingdom was developing smoothly. As long as there was not another major event like the invasion of the Terran Civilization, then it wouldn’t have to worry about any external threats for a long time.
As the strongest country on San Soliel and located in the south which was far away from strife, no mortal country would do such a suicidal thing as attack the Dragon Kingdom. On the other hand, Louie had already stopped the potential crisis of the two gods of war spurring a war between humans and beastmen. The Dragon God System had already properly formed. Moreover, with the Dragon God allied with the Goddess of Love and Beauty and the Goddess of Silver Moon, no other god dared to mess with Louie.
Other than gods who were already his enemies, every other god would treat Louie with respect. No other god was willing to make enemies of him. As one of the strongest gods among the gods and capable of becoming a high-tier god, Louie had long been famous in mortal and divine worlds.
After their alliance was over, the God of Beastmen and the God of War once again returned to hostile relations. The Mother Earth Goddess was not good at fighting and had already failed many times to plot against Louie, but now she had also laid down her arms, especially on the mortal side of things. The Church of the Goddess of Earth and the Church of the Dragon God had also cooperated in cultivating seeds, and as a result, the relationship between the two sides had become extremely complicated. On the other hand, the Goddess of Magic had been busy weaving her magic web to restore her power. She had no time to find trouble with Louie, so Louie would be able to relax for a while.
Now, these three gods were more worried that Louie would cause them trouble instead of them causing Louie trouble.
‘I have an irreconcilable enmity with the God of War Marzalis, and a deep-seated grudge with the Mother Earth Goddess Chauntea. As long as Chauntea still harbors ambitions to become the god of gods, there can be no reconciliation between us.’
If the Mother Earth Goddess returned to her easygoing and uncaring attitude towards the world, Louie was willing to let bygones be bygones and forgive her, canceling their mutual hatred for each other. To begin with, the two of them were enemies because Louie had taken her divine authority, and as a result, Chauntea would fight him to the death.
However, from the current situation, it was impossible for Chauntea to return to her easy-going self. The two of them would have a hard time resolving their enmity.
‘But Mismisella might be worth trying.’
Louie thought about the Goddess of Magic. She had opposed Louie at the start but Louie retaliated and killed her incarnation, as a result, she was slow in developing her faith. It was only now that she could catch up with the first echelon of the gods. Louie did not have much of a grudge against her.
As for the divine authority of magic, it was not a big problem because Mismisella was the third-generation Goddess of Magic. Compared to the first two generations of Goddess of Magic, she was akin to a Buddha and almost had no ambition. Moreover, the divine authority of magic that she possessed was not complete. Even if Louie did not take her divine authority, Mismisella would not be in a complete state.
The power of magic had a huge influence on the mortal realm, so when the first two generations of Goddess of Magic fell, the divine authority of magic was cut off into countless pieces by the gods. As a result, Mismisella only possessed about 80% of the divine authority.
If Louie could be said to have taken 10% of the divine authority of magic, having 70% or 80% of the divine authority of magic did not matter much to Mismisella. The amount of control that she had was enough to make her into a high-tier god. If she wanted to become the god of gods, then she would have to take back the entire 100%, but this was obviously not possible.
So, for the current Goddess of Magic, her priority was her magic network. As long as Louie did not attempt to take her magic network away from her, then the two could really shake hands and make peace.
However, Louie did not really care about making peace with her. He would fight if she wanted a fight, and if she was willing to admit defeat, Louie would consider it. Louie also did not care much about the God of War and Goddess of Earth. The matter that he truly cared about was the ‘Serpent of Order’.
As long as Louie could become the Serpent of Order, then none of the gods would matter to him. With just a wave of his hand, he could destroy them. With the absolute power gap that would occur, any grudges and feuds would be considered ridiculous. This was the power that Louie valued the most and he would never put the cart before the horse and waste time with the other gods.
‘For me, the most important thing now is the raid on the Abyss. I now have Melcanthet’s help in ruling the Abyss. As long as our child is born and becomes the abyssal lord of the first layer, I will have succeeded. If I can also influence the Nine Hells of Baator, then…’
Louie secretly pondered. This matter was important on his path to becoming the god of gods, so he did not dare be lax. As long as he was careful and moved steadily, he could complete his great objective and become the Serpent of Order.
‘The gods think that I will lag behind those ancient gods in terms of comprehension of godhood and not have enough divinity just because I am a new god, so it would be a while before I become a high-tier god.’
Louie stood on the second floor of the luxurious palace. His eyes were a little lost as he didn’t bother paying any attention to the extravagant scene before him. All of his incarnations were thinking together and moving like supercomputers that provided different outputs and inputs.
“But this is a good thing. It means they will let their guard down. As long as I use some divine power, I can understand the laws of the high-tier gods. As for divinity, I am indeed lacking in it, but Andrea already told me about the hidden realm where the divine throne of the Prince of Lies is located. I have already scanned the place and found a large amount of divinity that can allow me to ascend rapidly.
Louie secretly calculated. The reason why he had not yet entered the divine throne of the Prince of Lies now was that he was not ready to increase his rank to a high-tier god. Once he finished the preparations, he would take over the ruins in one fell swoop. He would take away the divinity of the Prince of Lies as well as the divine authority of killing. Before the gods could react, he could become the God of Killing as well.
Secondly, Louie had to be cautious of the divine throne of the Prince of Lies. In the past, the Prince of Lies had killed countless gods and almost reached the level of the god of gods. It was better to give him the respect he deserved.
Of course, Louie knew that with his current mid-tier divine power, he would normally not lose to a fallen god who was previously a high-tier god, but there was nothing wrong with being careful. It would be better if he was only a step away before going to that hidden realm.
‘Although so many years have passed, no other god has discovered that secret space, but I must still remain on guard. If mortals or other gods discover it, I would have to quickly move and get ahead of the game!’
Louie’s thoughts continued on and on as he made countless follow-up arrangements. He stood there and continued thinking until he could no longer find any flaws and mistakes in his plan.
But now, he found that he seemed to have nothing to do in the world of San Soliel anymore. The next thing he needed to do was to continue mass-producing dragons to prepare for the raid on the Abyss, and this required time.
As a diligent dragon, a diligent god, Louie felt that he might be able to go back to Earth for another round of consolidating his faith.
