I, The Dragon Overlord

Chapter 481 - Battle of Beliefs

“Although I believed that you could see through my goals at a glance, being called out like this is a little disconcerting”

Danluciel’s voice contained bitterness, but she spoke with ingratiating and complimentary words.

“This is not something difficult to see. Not only are you a demigod with the goal of becoming a true god, you are also the leader of a city called the Capital of Wealth with merchants all over the continent. This means that you are trying to focus on obtaining the divine authority of wealth. Now that the God of Wealth has not appeared anywhere, you have a big chance of being able to accomplish your desire. In terms of accumulation of wealth, no one is a match for you.”

“Of course, all this presupposes that the original God of Wealth has fallen, otherwise, if the ancient god resurrects, all of your efforts will be in vain.”

Theft is never good, try looking at tinyurl.com/37k7u89t.

While saying so, Louie had been continuously patting the already tamed Unicorn Goddess and looking at Sune for her response.

Sune understood Louie’s meaning. She lazily leaned on the pillar of the pavilion and cheerfully said, “The former God of Wealth had completely fallen. I am sure of that.”

“So that’s why Your highness Sune received Danluciel enthusiastically when she revealed her intention to compete for the divine authority of wealth.”

Louie said with understanding.

The God of Wealth in the Era of the Gods was a mid-tier god. Since the Goddess of Love and Beauty had said that the God of Wealth had fallen, then the God of Wealth had fallen. A mid-tier god would have a hard time creating a fallback plan in a civilization-level war like that. Louie even doubted the method of resurrection that the Prince of Lies had prepared for himself.

“Lady Danluciel had the most likely chance of becoming the God of Wealth, so I had no reason to reject her.”

Sune’s words still carried passion and desire in her voice that could stir another being's heart. Anyone listening would have their desires and lust intensified inside her divine kingdom.

Although Louie and Lara were gods and could resist Sune’s words, it was not something they would refuse in her divine kingdom.

‘If someone with erectile dysfunction is here, they would probably be healed in an instant.’

Louie thought without malice.

In reality, the gods were beings who would not do anything without benefits. Although the Goddess of Love and Beauty belonged to the chaotic faction, she still calculated a lot. Danluciel had come to beg this goddess for help, but this was most likely within Sune’s calculations.

Providing sanctuary to Danluciel was not a hard thing for Sune, because there was no other demigod seeking to become the God of Wealth. In other words, Danluciel had no rivals nor enemies who would be hostile to her.

Unless Danluciel failed and died, the other gods would have no chance to fight for the seat of the God of Wealth.

The reason why someone without a rival like her would cling to Sune was because she was afraid that she would be coveted by other gods and killed by them once she became a true god. True gods who had just succeeded in ascending were the most vulnerable. Many weak gods would probably be interested in the divine authority of wealth that could create a mid-tier god.

In this age with many open positions, killing a god and replacing them was definitely a possibility. Other gods’ morality and conscience could never be trusted as they were even greedier and more terrible than mortals.

At this time, Danluciel needed a powerful god behind her to protect her.

This was simply a deal that was too good to be true. Sune could provide refuge without any effort, and after that, she would be able to gain a subordinate god with the potential to become a mid-tier god.

In fact, with Danluciel’s potential, she would be able to garner the goodwill of any god no matter who she sought. She only needed to pick a god that matches her personality the most so that she could leave a nourishing life after ascending.

This was the chaos created by having too many vacancies among the gods. The current state of the world was closer to chaos. Only when the number of gods was satisfied would the chaos become more orderly. In these chaotic times, it was the best time to fish in troubled waters with assassinations and schemes.

True gods were a very important part of maintaining the balance and development of the world of San Soliel.

“In that case, this makes sense. Dragon City that I once ruled had long surpassed the Capital of Wealth in just a few decades. It has been recognized as the true land of wealth by everyone on the main continent. This is why you are vaguely hostile to me.”

There was no boating in Louie’s words, because his words were the truth. He had only spent a few decades to surpass the title of ‘wealth’ that the Capital of Wealth had acquired after hundreds of years. In terms of ‘business’ and ‘money-making’, Louie could be said to have surpassed Danluciel.

This was the gap between civilizations. In the world of San Soliel, economics was not a discipline but just a means of application, but on Earth, economics had its own specialized study. Even invisible things like the market have become theories.

With the huge gap between insight and civilization, Danluciel’s little comprehension of business seemed ridiculous to Louie.

Louie closed his eyes and grunted. He basked in the pleasure of the afterglow before slowly leaving the body of the Unicorn Goddess. Lara also fell limp on the ground.

Louie sat beside Lara and continued to groom her hair with his hands. Then he looked at Danluciel again, a touch of ridicule flowing from his inverted pupils, “Lady Danluciel, are you afraid that I would take the divine authority of wealth in front of you and replace you as the God of Wealth?”

Danluciel, the woman who was glittering and seemed to be dressed vulgarly yet possessed a flamboyant beauty, lowered her head in embarrassment, silently acknowledging Louie’s words.

With Louie’s comprehension of business and wealth, he could indeed obtain the divine authority of wealth with ease, but—

“I don’t intend to do that. The combination of divine authorities is very important. For me, obtaining the divine authority of wealth will not allow me to advance at all. It might even hinder me.”

Louie’s goal was to obtain the divine authority of killing. Once he completed it, his racial divine authority of dragons, along with other divine authorities would allow him to reach 19 points. This was already the strongest in the world of San Soliel. The divine authority of wealth was not useful to Louie at all. It couldn’t give him any combat power at all. With just ‘killing’ and ‘dragon’, he could satisfy the requirements of believers. There was no need for ‘wealth’.

Hearing that Louie was indifferent to the position of the God of Wealth, Danluciel exhaled. The pressure in her heart was reduced a lot and even showed joy.

But Louie’s next sentence caused her to be on edge—

“But Lady Danluciel, my Dragon City, is now the symbol of wealth. Many of my people and believers are using business to obtain a better quality of life under my teachings. By becoming the ‘God of Wealth’, aren’t you trying to steal my believers?”

This one sentence made Danluciel’s hair and bones tremble. She even showed an expression of fear.

The battle of faith was an unending struggle, and Louie’s words drove her to the brink.
