I, The Dragon Overlord
Chapter 398: The Complete Divine Authority Of Killing, Returning To EarthThe Prince of Lies was a powerful god that existed during the Ear of the Gods. He was a deity that possessed the other chunk of the divine authority of killing that Louie needed.
In the past, Louie felt that Princess Andrea had some problems and was even suspicious that she was the divine messenger of the Prince of Lies, but after knowing that the Prince of Lies had already fallen, and given that he did not see him in the Pantheon, Louie began to doubt himself. Since Andrea acted like a mortal, she would not have been able to hide that she was a divine messenger in the eyes of a true god.
But after hearing Andrea’s words, Louie instantly became interested.
He slid his arm around her waist and picked up the blushing princess who cried out in fright. Then he sat her sideways on his lap while his hand explored the bottom of her chiffon dress to explore her hidden secrets.
Andrea wriggled her body to make herself comfortable. After a few gasps, she spoke, “I went on a hunt with my father when I was young. During that hung, my father became a target of assassination, and we got separated in the dense forest. At that time, I was terrified of the assassin’s pursuit and accidentally stepped into a doorway in that forest. It seemed to be connected to another dimension.”
“The other side was a dark, barren world. The winds and sand whistle like the roar of wild beasts. Those who had been chasing me also fell into that realm, but strangely enough, those pursuers instantly disintegrated after stepping into that realm while I survived.”
Andrea endured the fingers that invaded her body and were trying to keep a logical mind. As she spoke of the barren world her eyes flashed with fear. It could be imagined how much psychological trauma such a horrible realm could cause to someone so young.
Louie listened carefully to Andrea’s narrative. He temporarily stopped his hand movement and excitedly said, “Supreme Throne!”

Andrea asked with bewilderment and incomprehension, “Are you saying that the realm I fell into is the ‘Supreme Throne’? The name sounds very…”
The princess deliberated on what words to use.
“Very arrogant?”
Louie let out a chuckle and said, “The name of this realm does sound arrogant because it is the Prince of Lies’ divine kingdom. That powerful god fell into madness and presumed that he became the god of gods in his madness. Therefore, he changed the name of his divine kingdom to that.”
Saying so, Louie frowned and said, “Since you do not know that the place is called the Supreme Throne, how do you know the name the Prince of Lies? Even if you are the Subilan Princess, you should not have known of this name. No one put it into writing.”
“Hmm, since divine kingdoms could only exist when the god is alive, could it be that the Prince of Lies hadn’t actually fallen?”
Louie was puzzled. If the Prince of Lies did not die, then he should have also ascended but he did not appear during the meeting of the gods. Perhaps the Prince of Lies was like Shae and also used some kind of method to conceal his identity and plan a conspiracy.
Louie carefully recalled the gods who arrived at the Pantheon. Because he might meet the gods in the future, he kept information about them deep in his memory, but in these memories, he did not find anyone like the Prince of Lies.
Towards Louie’s words, Andrea did not understand anything and shook her head, “I don’t know if that place is the divine kingdom of the Prince of Lies. I only saw a tombstone in that realm with the name Prince of Lies written on it, and… and I also sensed the divinity and divine authority of the Prince of Lies.”
Saying so, ambition and fanaticism flashed in Andrea’s eyes.
‘There is a tombstone but the divine kingdom still exists. The Prince of Lies is probably between life and death at the moment. He actually fell but not completely The reason why Andrea was not annihilated by the environment of the Supreme Throne is most likely because her nature was very similar to the Prince of Lies. This is just like an heir being acknowledged.’
Louie gazed at Andrea whose breathing gradually sped up. Her eyes were gloomy and ambitious, so Louie said with certainty, “The King of Lies is a God who is good at weaving lies and carrying out backstage conspiracies. Even true gods died by his calculations. Everything he left on the Supreme Throne was real. He probably wants to use you to resurrect.”
“Thank you for your advice. I am able to guess what kind of god he was just from his name… But I am not willing to become his pawn. Even if that god is planning to use me, I still want to try… Since all gods need to reckon with mortals, it means that he is very wrong. I might have a chance of defeating him.”
Andrea’s pretty face lit up with passion. Her words were quite sensible while her expression still remained innocent.
Louie narrowed his eyes and spoke, “You want to become a true god? Is that why you have been lying from beginning to end in your daily behavior… Well, your nature matches well with the divine authority of lies. If this divine authority is truly there, then it is possible for you to use it to gather divinity and then ascend to become a god.”
Gods were miraculous existences. In the past, there were records of mortals who had directly ascended to become true gods. The Prince of Lies was one such example. He had been a mortal, but because of his luck, he had stepped on the path of a god and became one of the strongest gods.
“Your, God Louie! This is my goal. I hope you can help me with it!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAndrea nodded her head firmly.
“Great ambition. It is an ambition far beyond mortal imagination. No wonder why you want the cooperation of a god. If this was when gods were still sleeping, you would have the confidence to surround yourself with the Prince of Lies, but now that the Era of Gods has arrived, you are no longer sure of yourself, fearing that the Prince of Lies has also awakened.”
Louie could understand Andrea’s thoughts and spoke with interest.
As you said. I am now unsure and feeling terrified. I have become too entangled with the Prince of Lies. With the Subila Kingdom suffering from internal and external problems, I really could not think of anyone else who could help me… I wonder what you think? If you can help me obtain the kingdom, I am willing to use my fame to help you spread your faith here. If you can help me to become a god, I am willing to be your subordinate and forever loyal to you!”
Andrea bit her lower lip and spoke as if she was making an oath.
“I am very interested…”
Andrea’s face lit up with joy, but immediately dimmed with Louie’s next words, “But now. I have other important matters to attend to.”
Louie was preparing for his return to Earth. He did not want to be distracted by other things. Louie was only interested in the remaining part of the divine authority of killing that the Prince of Lies owned. Now that he had information, Louie would get involved even without Andrea’s proposal.
Now that Andrea had taken the initiative, Louie could demand a big price and make good use of the princess.
Louie extended his finger to catch the water droplets dripping down and smiled, “You should continue maintaining the status quo to prevent the kingdom from falling. Once I’m ready, I will come to help you. Keep your body safe for me to enjoy.”
Andrea was a little embarrassed at Louie’s words, but she was overjoyed and said, “Thank you, great Dragon God! I will not fail you and will serve you to the best of my ability!”
