Chapter 1320 - 1320 1305 Abuse of Power for Personal Gain

Chapter 1320: Chapter 1305: Abuse of Power for Personal Gain Chapter 1320: Chapter 1305: Abuse of Power for Personal Gain “Father, this should be enough now, shouldn’t it?”

The once blurred landscape began to come into focus at a perceptible speed, while the haze in the atmosphere was lifted by the exponentially evolving plant life, making the verdancy across the land spread at an astonishing rate.

Spots of green that originally dotted the land like stars across a chessboard eventually merged into a vast carpet of greenery. Vibrant life burst forth from the once desolate ground, and even the formerly murky waters became clear.

Witnessing such a scene, the usually silent Ketiya couldn’t help but speak out.

“What do you mean ‘enough’?” Muria raised an eyebrow, fully aware of what his daughter was implying.

“We can begin the war now!”

“It’s still too early. The preparation phase has only just begun; there are many things I have yet to do.”

“What things?”

“The advantages I have as a deity have barely been utilized. Don’t be too anxious, quiet your heart and steady your Qi.”

“…”

Ketiya was visibly confused and fell silent.

…

“Lord Mureya!”

One hundred and one dragons lay prostrate in neat formation within the great hall, paying homage to Mureya seated on the Divine Throne. At the forefront were six Ancient red dragons with Brilliant Red Scales of similar stature.

Although Mureya had, in a certain perspective, degraded his Identity from Legend to Divine Being—a move some entities might consider beneath him—in essence, Mureya had become even more powerful, a reward for the partial freedom he had sacrificed.

“You are aware of my current situation. I ask you all, are you willing to fight for me and vanquish all those in this world who refuse submission?” Mureya, seated on the Divine Throne, with Divine Light radiating behind him and his Divine Might as oppressive as a prison, as vast as the sea, commanded such Divine Might that it inspired absolute loyalty in the Giant Dragons he had summoned, leaving them without the slightest stray thought.

“We are willing.” Although some dragons wanted to be the first to express their loyalty, nearly all present were Ancient Dragons that had lived for over a thousand years. Even a pig would accrue wisdom over a millennium, let alone dragons, so Mureya heard an exceedingly unified response.

“Good.”

Mureya nodded slightly. Although this was the expected result after having raised these creatures for a thousand years, witnessing this spectacle of dragons in submission still pleased him greatly.

“I acknowledge your attitudes. However, you are not yet strong enough to lead my conquest of the Great World Will and cannot serve as the vanguard. You need to become more powerful.

Now, all the dragons in this hall are Ancient Dragons, and your strength increases exceedingly slowly. By yourselves, you won’t make any more progress in the short term. However, now that I have ascended to deityhood, you all know what the powers of a Divine Being can do.”

“Your Eminence, please bestow upon us your divine blessings.”

Seeing Mureya’s tone, Auston, who had become very sensible over the years, immediately stepped forward to request an increase in their power. With Auston having spoken, the rest of the dragons swiftly echoed his plea, not wanting him to outshine them too much.

“Don’t just parrot what another dragon says. You are all educated elites; you can’t simply echo others. You must learn to think for yourselves.” Mureya’s lips curved slightly upward at the sight of the dragons’ pleas.

“Your Eminence, I do not know what the other dragons think, but since my birth, I have been with you. Therefore, I am willing to be a dragon for Your Majesty, even unto death without regret.” A Red Dragon stepped forward, speaking forcefully. The many Giant Dragons quickly followed suit, once again in unison.

“Think this over carefully. Once you accept my divine power refinement, your fate will be bound with mine, and we will cultivate together. If I cannot become the master of this world, you all will be trapped here with me, forever unable to return to Elasia.” Mureya continued to remind them.

“I have thought it through. Your Eminence, to me, you are my everything. My brothers and sisters are all here; to me, there is no difference between this place and Elasia.” Red Dragon Renata, standing at the forefront, asserted, drawing Mureya’s attention.

“In that case, you shall become the first God Dragon of my dominion!”

Mureya raised his palm, and a shadow of the sun emerged behind him. The vast and torrid Solar Divine Power manifested in his hand, and under his command, it surged into Renata’s dragon body.

Then, under the watchful eyes of the surrounding dragons, this Sun Dragon, who had never sought a mate in her lifetime, let out a roar of slight pain.

The Sun God Flame is the ultimate Yang power, fiery in nature yet supremely domineering. The sun has never been a symbol of gentleness.

Although Renata was in pain, her strength was rapidly rising at an amazing pace. Her dragon body was permeated with the Crimson Gold Color of the Sun God Flame, emitting light from her nostrils and between the fissures of her scales. Gradually, her dragon body became translucent, visibly growing larger at an observable rate.

For Renata, this was an extraordinarily intense transformation and also an unprecedented opportunity. She was a Red Dragon, but just a Red Dragon, yet now she had touched the power of the sun, something that not even the Dragon Empress Tiamat, who had also received the blessing of Muria, had done.

The severe transformation, akin to shedding one’s mortal body and bones, lasted a full three days and three nights. By the time it ended, even Muria felt a trace of fatigue. After all, this was not a battle where he could simply throw out power and not care where it landed. This was about using solar divine power to raise the life form of his subordinate, who had followed him since she was young, to a higher plane of existence. For the life and safety of the young female dragon, he had to control every ounce of solar divine power to avoid injuring Renata.

Roar!!!

For eternal life beings, and especially for those above the level of legend, staying awake for three days and three nights was not a significant concern. Moreover, they were not witnessing something boring but the process of an ordinary-blooded Red Dragon transforming into a God Dragon capable of wielding the power of the sun.

Therefore, when Renata completed her transformation, with a dragon roar so mighty and spirited that it made the listeners feel burning heat, all the dragons present became invigorated. They stared at Renata, who now physically dominated over all the dragons present, with gleaming eyes.

“How do you feel, Renata?”

Although he felt somewhat drained, Muria showed no signs of weariness, and the strength in his body remained abundant without the slightest depletion. For an existence like him, divine power is actually endless; it’s just a matter of how much he can output at any given moment.

For a deity of faith, transforming his own subordinates into divine beasts without considering the depletion of divine power is an unimaginably extravagant and inconceivable act.

“My lord, I’ve never felt so powerful,”

Renata, now two hundred meters in length, was covered in a layer of blazing Sun God Flame, causing discomfort to many of the ancient dragons around her.

“Good, bring ten dragons to spar with Renata and help her get accustomed to her power. You needn’t worry about your injuries; I will take full responsibility for any casualties.”

With Muria’s assurance, the group of dragons, initially hesitant, no longer had any reservations.

Similarly, because of Muria’s guarantee, Renata, whose power had now risen to the legendary peak, harbored no concerns and unleashed the power of the sun contained within her body without restraint. This extremely staunch and yang force made the ancient dragons she contended with scream in agony. Were it not for Muria’s presence, likely, some dragons would have perished, even though Renata harbored no intent to kill.

In what could be described as a one-sided battle, the other dragons did not feel any sense of defeatism. Instead, it excited many of the ancient dragons even more.

Nearly all dragons, or rather organisms, pursue greater strength, and as long as there are no severe side effects, they generally accept it willingly. The consequences of accepting Muria’s power, in the eyes of many ancient dragons, were not an issue at all.

Thus, the dragons each actively requested Muria to transform them so that they too could become God Dragons capable of wielding divine power.

Although Muria found this micromanagement quite exhausting, to ensure the smooth progress of his grand endeavors, he gritted his teeth and endured. He bestowed various types of divine power on his dragons according to their attributes, transforming them one by one.

…

Although Muria’s reckless exploitation of his divine power privilege to continuously transform his subordinates into divine beasts might seem self-serving, in reality, such actions did not cause any loss to the world itself—in fact, the world benefited.

Before Muria converted the group of dragons, they were otherworldly organisms of unknown origins, meant to be expelled. However, after undergoing refinement through Muria’s divine power, many ancient dragons successfully changed their identity, becoming dragons of this world.

Thus, while Muria’s actions were personal matters, they were in accordance with the heavens. The Great World Will would not only not obstruct him but even aid and abet. If Muria’s strength was inexhaustible, it might secretly give him a backdoor.

…

With the Great World Will providing Muria such conveniences, all of Muria’s affairs proceeded quite smoothly. His legion had mostly whitewashed its reputation through his divine power and could act freely within this vast world without eliciting heavenly punishment for overly rampant behavior.

In such circumstances, the question of when to start a war and where to initiate the first battle naturally came to the agenda,

Thus,

“Father, do you have a target?” Ketiya, the one who most yearned for war, eagerly asked.

“Of course. There are too many targets to choose from!” That was the problem that slightly troubled Muria. It wasn’t that he had no targets to attack, but rather, there were too many.

“Father, may I ask you a question?” Suddenly, Gladys joined the conversation.

“What is it? Tell me,” Muria indulged his daughters.

“If I remember correctly, brother should be in this world as well, just like you and us. Why haven’t we seen him for so long?”

“…” Muria fell silent. Although embarrassed to admit it, the truth was that if it weren’t for his daughter’s reminder, he would not have even remembered he had a son.
