Global Lords: Hundredfold Increments Starting With the Undead-Chapter 1326 - 906: The Somewhat Anxious Dragon Queen
Gazing at the two Divinities taken out.
The Dragon Queen’s pupils constricted, her eyes widened a bit.
She was involved in acquiring these two Divinities, so naturally, she was clear about their origins.
Fang Hao didn’t immediately hand them over to her, in fact, he felt somewhat dissatisfied inside.
But there was no helping it; the acquisition of Divinities had always been led by Fang Hao. Without him, the Divinities could not be found anywhere.
She originally thought it would take some time before one would be allocated to her.
Unexpectedly, after obtaining the second one today, she had to make a choice.
The Dragon Queen looked at the Divinities and did not choose one. Leaning back, she exhaled a breath and asked, "Not supporting a new Demigod?"
"There’s enough with one. Now there are two, and it’s perfect to give you one," Fang Hao said directly.
"This is Divinity we are talking about. Do you really trust me that much?" The Dragon Queen looked at him seriously.
Wanting it is one thing, but hesitating when it really comes to giving it to her.
A single Divinity could nurture a Demigod.
It could elevate the entire race’s power to a new height.
Fang Hao’s reluctance to give it to her felt natural, but actually giving it to her made his intentions somewhat inscrutable.
"Of course, just as you trust me, I also trust you," Fang Hao spoke even more earnestly.
The Dragon Queen felt uncomfortable under his gaze, her eyes evading, then she asked, "What changes will occur after I absorb it?"
Fang Hao stepped down from above and continued, "It’s possible that you’ll only increase in ability, but with your power, you might directly ascend to become a lesser deity."
Hearing that she could become a lesser deity, the Dragon Queen’s expression brightened for a moment.
Ascending to godhood was the goal of a Demigod, equally filled with temptation.
Without waiting for the Dragon Queen to speak, Fang Hao continued, "The only thing that needs consideration now is the arrangement before ascending to godhood!"
"Arrangement?"
"You should know, deities are rejected by this world. It’s very likely that after becoming a deity, you will no longer be able to stay in this world. Both the Dragon Clan and Beata might need some arrangements since it’s very possible... you can’t return," Fang Hao revealed his thoughts.
With her personality, she likely had no followers.
After becoming a deity, she wouldn’t be able to descend for a long time, meaning she wouldn’t see Mount Dragon Peak and Beata for an extended period.
All these needed to be considered. Ascending to godhood was like severing worldly ties in tales of old.
One possesses greater power, but it also means one cannot turn back.
"This..."
The Dragon Queen showed hesitation and reluctance.
Previously, she simply thought about ascending, but now that she was at this juncture, she began to waver.
"How did you manage to stay?" The Dragon Queen looked at him again.
Fang Hao rested his hands behind him and continued, "I can’t give you a definitive explanation, perhaps due to insufficient power, or maybe this world doesn’t reject me. I am a transmigrator; many things are different for me."
Based on the classification of deities, he was also a lesser deity.
But he could still stay.
And this world showed no rejection towards him, no different from usual.
The Dragon Queen still watched him, hesitant, but finally asked, "Can’t I stay like you do?"
A flicker of hesitation and reluctance passed through her usually indifferent eyes.
The powerful Dragon Queen now showed a bit more of a woman’s demeanor.
"I hope you can stay too. I will try to find a way as much as possible, but nobody can be sure of the final outcome," Fang Hao continued.
To keep the Dragon Queen, he had cajoled and deceived to keep her in the main city.
He didn’t want the Dragon Queen to be out of his control.
But now faced with such a situation, a change had to be made.
The Dragon Queen inhaled deeply, her full chest heaving, the confusion in her eyes cleared, and she asked directly, "May I choose now?"
"You may."
The Dragon Queen pointed at the fire-related Divinity, "I want this one."
"Alright, it’s yours now." Fang Hao grabbed it and handed it over to her.
The Dragon Queen took it.
System prompts followed closely after.
[Zenith Blazing Sun - Tiralte, Loyalty towards you increased by 8 points, current Loyalty is 100.]
[Hero ’Zenith Blazing Sun - Tiralte’ has reached 100 points of Loyalty towards you, automatically assigned under your command, this hero will not be affected by any form of deceit, betrayal, or other disruptive states.]
Both prompts brought joy to Fang Hao’s heart.
Before the Dragon Queen’s promotion, it was always done by ’acknowledgement.’
Their relationship resembled more of cooperating allies.
Now with Loyalty reaching 100, the system recognizes her as a hero under my command, essentially joining my domain.
Once Loyalty is full, whether she is considered a hero under my command is no longer important.
In the previous battles, the Dragon Queen cooperated to her fullest.
Playing an irreplaceable role in the combat.
The Dragon Queen took it and directly placed it into her storage space, saying, "I need to think it over, I’ll inform you of my decision later."
"Okay, when you’re ready to absorb it, I’ll take you to the Nightstone plane for promotion, to avoid any danger," Fang Hao also put away the other one.
"Alright." The Dragon Queen nodded.
After they finished talking, the hall suddenly quieted down.
After a while, the Dragon Queen let out a sigh and said, "How about going to the pavilion for a drink?"
It’s quiet there, and if we were at the manor, it would disturb the rest of the people.
Uh...
"Sure, you bring the wine, and I’ll prepare some snacks."
"Okay."
The Dragon Queen took several bottles of wine from the cellar and walked out of the manor together.
The pavilion was still splendid, its gilded carvings under the illumination of Nightstone.
Reflecting a faint light.
The Dragon Queen sat down, sighing softly as she gazed upon the beautifully crafted pavilion.
"Are there gods in your world too?"
Fang Hao walked up slowly and sat down, bringing out some wine and snacks while responding, "There are some legends, but I’ve never seen any."
The Dragon Queen drained her glass and draped a leg over a stone chair nearby.
The hem of her dress slid down, revealing smooth, round legs sheathed in black silk.
Although the Dragon Queen is Beata’s mother, likely several hundred years old, her appearance shows no sign of age.
Maintaining a queenly presence.
Her looks were dignified and beautiful, with golden horns atop her head, long brown hair cascading down from her shoulders, resting upon her glamorous gold dress.
Paired with a somewhat melancholic and languid demeanor, she indeed resembled a pensive empress.
The Dragon Queen noticed his gaze, knitted her brows, and after seeing his gaze shift away, she continued to ask, "What kind of gods do you have? Are they powerful?"
"They should be powerful. They’re quite formidable in the legends."
"Tell me about your world, who knows, maybe after I gain more power, I could take you home," the Dragon Queen said lightly, flipping her hair casually.
Seeing her despondent look, Fang Hao went straight to the point, "Alright, let me tell you about the story of ’Nezha Conquering the Seas.’"
The Dragon Queen picked up her wine glass, took a sip, blinked her eyes to signal him to start.
...
The two chatted while drinking, and the sky gradually brightened.
The Dragon Queen straightened her clothes and glared fiercely at the man across from her, hissing between her teeth, "Next time you tell me a story about extracting dragon sinews, I will flay you."
"Look, the story is written that way, it has nothing to do with me." freēwēbnovel.com
The Dragon Queen raised her hand in annoyance to scare him, then let it drop.
She said, "I’ll return to Mount Dragon Peak for a few days. If anything comes up, contact me with the Sound-transmitting Shell."
"Alright, I’ll ask Doujin to prepare some things for you to take back."
"Okay." The Dragon Queen looked at him one more time before turning and leaving.
Fang Hao didn’t say anything and went straight back to the manor.
Today, several maids have reached the 10th rank.
It was as if a knack had been found in these past few days, with a few emerging each day.
It might also be possible that they have been suppressed at the 9th rank for too long.
Now they are achieving breakthroughs one after the other.
After preparing the trial materials and praising the maids who had advanced, they headed to the Merit Training Ground together.
As the maids disappeared into the light, beginning their trials,
he instructed Eira with a few words.
Then he went straight to the backyard, and upon reaching a massive oak on the side of the yard, he tapped lightly twice, "Shinisara, are you there?"
The canopy rustled slightly, and the branches twisted into the figure of a female treant, dangling down, "Sir, did you need me?"
"Yes, I’ve obtained some things on the outside that should help with your promotion."
