Louie, who was sitting on his divine throne sensed a strange fluctuation from high beyond the skies.

The fluctuation came from the Astral Realm. There, a special plane existed that no mortal, demigod, or devil from hell could find, except the gods. This was because this place was the meeting place of the gods — the Pantheon!

The Astral Realm was akin to the Earth’s endless and vast space where galaxies, planets, and stars existed. The only difference was that San Soliel was made up of layers of different realms, making it closer to a three-dimensional structure.

The Astral Realm was a barrier that surrounded San Soliel. It was infinitely wide and contained countless mysteries and resources. It was too big for mortals to survive on their own, and even gods could fall and die if they made mistakes there. It wasn’t without reason that it was called the ‘graveyard of the gods’.

The infinite expanse of the Astral Realm was too much for mortals to travel through, but the gods were capable of moving to the very edge of it if they wanted. If they did so, however, then they would cross San Soliel’s Crystal Wall System and enter another system. When that happened, their faith would disappear and they would become mortals, so no god was stupid enough to do such a thing.

Under normal circumstances, Louie would also never cross the Crystal Wall System, but thanks to the space-time wormhole provided by the Terran Civilization, he had found a bug in the system that he was abusing as much as he wanted.

As a result, Louie was more concerned about the space-time wormhole compared to the Intelligent Brain. If it disappears, Louie might immediately lose all faith coming from Earth. He would not be able to advance his power as the origin of order and won’t be able to become the Serpent of Order.

However, the IntelligentI Brain did not know this, which allowed Louie to use it as a means of threatening it.

The Pantheon’s call for a meeting of the gods was not compulsory. It was up to the gods to participate or not, since this was not a people’s congress. Gods were the most arbitrary existences in the world. Since no one had the power to rule over all the gods, every god had the same status no matter how powerful they were. Only those in a master-subordinate relationship were exceptions.

Since the creation of the Pantheon, it had not been used very often, but a war between two divine systems was usually settled in the Pantheon through negotiations. That way, a divine war could end peacefully in the presence of the gods.

But it was currently the start of a new era, and some gods had activated the ability of the Pantheon to invite all gods for a meeting. In Louie’s opinion, no god would refuse to come to this meeting for that reason. All new gods that had been resurrected and newly ascended gods would appear in the Pantheon.

In the Era of the Gods, the gods would set basic agreements that they must abide by. This was similar to a law or agreement between nations. However, with the new era, many of the gods had changed, so naturally, a new agreement had to be made between everyone and each other.

Louie could guess that there was no big change in the agreements. There would only be slight changes as compared to the previous Era of the Gods, after all, the past agreement had been used for hundreds of thousands of years without any problems.

The Pantheon wasn’t going to be held yet. Every god had just ascended not long ago, so many of them had to construct their divine kingdoms, set up the rules and laws, have their bodies sleep, and condense an incarnation. No god had the leisure to go to the meeting as safety was a god’s first priority, and would probably begin when the gods had finished most if not all of their preparations.

Louie was the oddball. Other gods were still constructing their basic facilities, but he had already finished constructing the foundation and was already advancing in his great construction.

“Other gods haven’t even started condensing their incarnations, but I already have mine thanks to the divine authority of time and some divinity.”

“Soon, the meeting of the gods will be held and everyone’s minds will be focused on it, but now is not the best time.”

Louie suddenly had an idea.

Instead of waiting for the Kingdoms of Selar and Danbusil to attack, he could take the initiative to attack the Goddess of Magic and the Goddess of Earth. Even if they were powerful gods at their prime, they also needed to follow the basics and were probably condensing their incarnations. With the upcoming meeting of the gods in their minds. This was the best chance for him to make a move which could also be called — cheating under cover of a diversion.

Louie immediately contacted his daughter Alexia with his divine link to her and asked her to prepare for war. What was his public rationale for starting one? There was never a need for one in this world!

……

In Dragon City, Alexia returned to her beautiful dragon body that was surrounded by moonlight. She was lying on the mountain of treasure that Louie had left behind. From time to time, she would grunt. Drool was dripping from her smiling mouth. As she rolled around, the gold coins and gems under her body clinked.

Suddenly, Alexia opened her eyes. A pair of inverted dark golden pupils emitted divine power and dragon’s might, causing the elven maids around her to kneel on the ground.

“Tell Lysfer, Sisna, Roselia, and Wyatt to come to see me…”

“Invite Pope Clooney to come to my palace as well. He should have also received the message of Father God.”

Although Alexia looked childish, she already possessed a majestic commanding voice. She used an order to command Lysfer and the others to come, while she had invited Pope Clooney. From this, it could be seen that she understood the separation between the church and state.

The elven maids who were kneeling on the ground lightly responded and hurriedly went to pass on her command.

Soon, Noella walked into the hall in her shadow dragon form. She looked at the dragon on top of the throne with a complicated face and sighed.

In the past, there was an awe-inspiring and terrifying dragon sitting there, but now, that dragon had exalted his throne and became a true god, while his daughter had been left to inherit his throne and rule in the mortal world.

“Is there going to be a war, Lady Alexia?”

Noella asked respectfully. She did not dare underestimate Alexia. The other party was a demigod who could kill her easily. Moreover, the other party was a child born between two gods so that no one could stand above her in status.

A god was a real ruler of the world. The child of two gods would become an incredibly glorious existence.

Unlike those lazy dragons, Noella had lived in the human world for hundreds of years. She understood human politics clearly and knew what was going on when Alexia summoned those people.

The people Alexia called were people managing the military, while the internal affairs were carried out by a different group of people. After decades of development, Dragon City had long since formed a mature government where military, politics, and religion were separated.

“Father God had made a decree for us to take the initiative to attack, Lady Noella!”

Alexia was now respectful towards this dragon that she originally disliked. This was all thanks to Louie’s teaching. In terms of ability and strength, Noella was considered one of the top powerhouses on the main continent. She could be considered at the top of the world if gods were not included. Moreover, she was Louie’s believer, so Louie paid attention to her.

In order to develop power in the main continent and to increase the authority of the church, there needs to be a powerful group protecting and supporting them.

Louie did not understand the world of gods too much, so he delayed the battle a bit, but he soon found out that the gods would take their sweet time creating their incarnations rather than completing them immediately. Had he known this, Louie would never be on the defensive and would have attacked earlier.

But nothing was too late yet, there was still a chance to correct his plans.

“This is the first task given to me by Father God. I have to complete it perfectly and I hope you can help me, Lady Noella!”

Alexia expressed her respect to this mighty Queen of Calamity.

This novel is available on Hosted Novel.

“I obey your orders, Lady Alexia! The Dragon God had promised to retrieve my flesh for me. For that alone, this Noella shall serve you.”

Seeing this elven dragon show respect to her instead of showing hostility, Noella was also happy. She already considered Dragon City as her own territory. Moreover, she had god’s blessing, had countless servants taking care of her, got to eat delicious food, and lived a comfortable life. How could she be willing to run back to a deep forest to become a wild dragon again?

With these thoughts, she would naturally find a way to be on good terms with Alexia, who was now the lord of the city. And now, it seemed that Alexia had changed due to the influence of her Father God.

‘Dragon God above, this is a really good start.

The Queen of Calamity thought so.

……

“Your Highness Shae, why have you come here instead of building your divine kingdom?”

Inside Dragonblight, Louie saw that the Goddess of Darkness had once again arrived. He was not surprised at her arrival and even felt that it was natural.

“As your subordinate god, I don’t need to build a divine kingdom. Moreover, that kind of divine kingdom is not something that I want.”

Her muslin danced and displayed her delicate and enchanting body. Her eyes seemed to contain shyness and charm as well as endless mysteries that made people impatiently want to go deep into her body and explore her dark secrets.

She seemed like a blowing breeze in front of Louie.

“You have come at the right time then. You should pick a random piece of land in my Dragonblight as your territory, but you don’t need to rush. We can first go to the Pantheon and listen to the thoughts of the gods.”

Louie smiled and said courteously.

“I obey your will, Lord God!”

Shae saluted and smiled, but her beautiful eyes were full or serene. The boundless darkness that was contained inside seemed to envelop everything and possess everything.
