BXBX NOVEL Chapter 498 - Gods’ Movement
During the conversation with the Mythril King, Louie was already able to guess the number of human followers and dragon followers who believed in her.
According to Louie’s calculations, once Heloise successfully ascended, she would be able to reach level 8 or 9 godhood with the support of her believers.
This was the limit of the divine authority of good dragons. No matter what Heloise did, she could at most reach level 10 which was just a few steps short of becoming a mid-tier god.
The Goddess of Darkness Shae also possessed the divine authority of kobolds. Once she reached mid-tier, according to the agreement, she would give back this divine authority to Louie. Louie could then find a strong kobold who was loyal enough to him and have it ascend. With the passage of time, the new owner of the divine authority of kobolds could reach level 15 godhood.
If Danluciel also succeeded in ascending, her divine authority of wealth would also be able to reach level 13 or 14 godhood.
Finally, Heloise, the ‘Good Dragon God’ could reach level 10 godhood as long as things progressed smoothly. Louie’s dragon god system would then have three other gods. Two of which would be mid-tier gods and one would be a low-tier god.
Although kobolds were lapdogs of dragons as mortals, in terms of gods, no other dragon was above the Kobold God other than the Dragon God. No matter what dragon-based divine authority other dragons chose, it was impossible for them to be stronger than the Kobold God in terms of divine power. This was the difference between mortals and gods. Some things that were already set in stone for mortals were not applicable to the gods.
However, dragons were still powerful in terms of combat after they ascended due to their powerful physical advantages. It might be impossible for a low-tier god to beat a mid-tier god, but when on the same level, dragons had the greatest advantage in combat.
‘Three subordinate gods should make for a proper divine system, but if possible, I’d rather have two more gods. Once I have five, my divine system could be called complete.’
A powerful and perfect divine system was composed of a high-tier god as the main god, two mid-tier gods, and some low-tier gods. With the limited number of gods and many solitary gods, having six to seven gods in a divine system was already a powerful force.
With Louie’s power and the secrets he possessed, he could go about doing things alone without the care of others, but if possible, he was willing to have a divine system of his own instead of becoming a loner. This way, he would not have to step in every time something happened. He could just leave it to his subordinate gods and believers to solve.
As a truly superior, he would not need to think about completing his own work, and instead how to lighten his own load while guaranteeing his power.
As Louie thought about this he listened to Heloise’s explanation of the current situation of the dragon race.
The palace hall where the dragons live was very plain. Unlike Louie, Heloise was completely uninterested in songs and dances. As a result, there was no form of entertainment in the royal palace. A dragon’s only interest was in treasures.
At first, Louie saw the pillars were very mottled. The original gold paint that should be on it seemed to have been scraped down. Louie suspected that these were originally decorated with jewels and gold, but they had all been taken by the Mythril King to her own treasure room.
For dragons, instead of having shiny jewels and gems set as decoration, they’d rather have them stored in their own living spaces. Dragons simply did not know what beauty and art were. They only sought the glitter and shine of treasures.
“Heloise, you said that Drexler has plans of usurping my divine authority. No matter how arrogant that black dragon is, he would not dare go against me alone, and there should be gods standing behind him. Do you know who they are?”
Since Heloise said that the Obsidian King had such thoughts, Louie also believed it for the time being.

“God Louie, I don’t know if Drexler has gods supporting him or not, but if he had the support of a true god, then would have directly launched an invasion against my kingdom instead of gathering military strength at the east coast but not moving at all.”
Although Heloise was a bit dumb, she was not a fool. Otherwise, how could her name resound throughout the continent? After hearing Louie’s question, she furrowed her brows and voiced her doubts.
Her doubt also reminded Louie that there was indeed something not right about this. Since there was no god behind Heloise, the Obsidian King who had the support of the gods would not pay any attention to her and directly launch an attack on this country.
‘In other words, they are targeting me? The Obsidian King has gathered the faith of a large part of the dragons. If he ascends, then the only damage done would be on me and my divine authority of dragons. If I acted normally, I would have gone to kill the Obsidian King to prevent my divine authority from being torn apart.’
‘If the god behind the Obsidian King had a plot, then that would be the best time to make things difficult for me. I feel that there is a shadow of the Mother Earth Goddess behind Drexler…’
Louie pondered. If it was really the Goddess of Earth who was behind the Obsidian King, what was she planning to do? Other than tearing apart his divine authority, did she still have other plans?
At that moment, Heloise, the Mythril King suddenly said, “I remembered something, God Louie! Just a short while ago, a large number of beastmen gathered at the southern border of the Land of Dragons, but they did not launch an invasion, which has always confused me. I wonder what they are up to.”
‘Beastmen? Could this be related to the Beastman God?’
