Chapter 327 · Volume 1

The Mastermind Behind the Dragon Experiments

Olivia stepped out of the carriage, yet the gazes of numerous believers still followed her, filled with an intense focus.
After all, Olivia’s performance in the recent battle had been truly formidable.
Although the others weren't Cordelia and hadn't faced Olivia's power directly, they were still capable of discerning a thing or two.
As believers chosen by the gods to be brought here, everyone possessed a certain degree of insight.
After the Goddess of Fate finished speaking, no one stepped forward for a long time.
This caused the Goddess of Fate to reveal a smile. “It seems there aren't as many grievances between the gods as I imagined. In that case, we don't need to make such a grand scene. Everyone can just go home. What do you think?”
Seeing the Goddess of Fate speak like this, someone finally stepped out under the subtle hint of their deity.
It was a young man with deep blue hair, holding a trident.
He believed in the Sea God, a deity who only existed in legends within the main world.
The blue-haired youth stepped forward and said, “I am Ashir Warren. I challenge the believer of the God of Darkness.”
The God of Darkness was an entity entirely shrouded in a mass of black mist, emitting a powerful aura of dominance.
This deity was also one that only existed in legends within the main world.
Hearing Ashir’s words, the God of Darkness spoke with interest, “Why challenge my believer? My follower should have no intersection with yours, and I have no grievances with the Sea God.”
Faced with a deity personally questioning him, Ashir’s expression grew stiff, and he found himself at a loss for words.
However, the Sea God naturally took over the conversation.
On the surface, the Sea God appeared as a swirling mass of azure water.
His voice drifted over leisurely at this moment: “I simply find you unpleasant to look at. Is there a problem?”
“Unpleasant? Why didn't you find me unpleasant before? Why start now?” the God of Darkness asked.
The Sea God let out a cold sneer. “Don't you know what you've done? Did you think your secret trips to the Dragon's Nest to experiment on the dragons were hidden?”
“Just because the Dragon God is gone, you trample on his descendants like this? You deserve to die!”
As soon as the Sea God said this, the entire arena fell silent.
Even Olivia narrowed her eyes and looked toward the God of Darkness.
So the mastermind behind the dragon experiments was the God of Darkness?
Coming from the mouth of the Sea God, it was difficult not to believe it.
Most importantly, the God of Darkness did not offer a rebuttal.
Instead, the God of Darkness let out a few low chuckles. “I had long heard that when the Dragon God was still alive, your relationship with him was quite good. It seems that was true.”
“Enough talk. If not for the agreement among the gods not to start a God War lightly, I would have come looking for trouble long ago,” the Sea God’s tone was exceptionally hostile.
As it stood, he could only let his believer step forward to vent his frustration.
Since the reason for the Sea God targeting him was clear, the God of Darkness said no more.
He gave a slight nod to his believer, and a young man dressed in black robes strode out.
Following that, an exceptionally fierce battle erupted before their eyes.
None of those brought here by the gods were simple individuals; they could all be called Protagonists of the Era.
Therefore, the battle between the believer of the Sea God and the believer of the God of Darkness was grand. If it had occurred in any other world, it would have been enough to cause a massive uproar.
After all, this was a battle being watched by the gods themselves.
As the battle began, Olivia and the others began to discuss in low voices, naturally talking about the God of Darkness experimenting on dragons.
They had been involved in that matter, after all.
Those dragons that had been modified into strange monstrosities eventually fled to the main world, and it was they who had stepped in to suppress them.
“I never expected it to be the God of Darkness. This deity is truly...” Adam paused here, not quite daring to speak ill of a god.
“If you want to curse him, just say it. Why stop halfway? Did I not grant you courage?”
At that moment, the Radiant Goddess leaned in, speaking to Adam with dissatisfaction.
“Praise the—”
“Don't praise me. Continue your conversation.”
The Radiant Goddess directly interrupted what Adam was about to say.
However, seeing the Radiant Goddess leaning in beside them, Olivia and the others looked at each other, unable to utter a single word.
With a god listening to their chat, how could they possibly keep talking? The Radiant Goddess's presence was simply too overwhelming.
Seeing that they were silent again, the Radiant Goddess curled her lip. “So my presence actually spoils your fun. My apologies, then.”
She rolled her eyes and walked away.
Seeing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Being too close to a god brought too much pressure.
At this point, they lost the mood for conversation and turned their attention back to the arena, watching the battle unfold.
The fight was intense, but as time passed, a winner was soon decided.
The one who ultimately emerged victorious was none other than Ashir, under the Sea God.
Of course, Ashir had also sustained significant injuries.
After winning, Ashir retreated, though he looked somewhat unwilling because his opponent had surrendered at the last moment and was not killed.
Just as Ashir stepped down, someone else walked up.
“I also wish to challenge a believer under the God of Darkness.”
The one who stood up this time was a beautiful elf with pointed ears.
Elves were also creatures that existed only in myths and legends within the main world.
In reality, elves did exist, and their main base was in a place called the Elf Continent.
The deity they worshiped was the Elf Goddess.
“You find me unpleasant as well?” The God of Darkness glanced at the Elf Goddess.
The Elf Goddess had emerald-green hair, a graceful figure, and was dressed in a green gown. Her emerald eyes were currently filled with a trace of coldness.
“You wiped out the dragon race. Such behavior is too disgusting. I am already considering whether to abolish the rule of non-competition among the gods.” The Elf Goddess spoke without the slightest politeness, her voice even filled with killing intent.
In fact, there were more than a few gods in the arena who felt killing intent toward the God of Darkness.
To this, the God of Darkness shrugged. “Why must you be like this? I was merely researching how to allow new deities to be born.”
“If my experiment had succeeded, a new Dragon God should have appeared by now.”
“It is just a pity that my experiment failed.”
“In such experiments, some losses are inevitable. It couldn't be helped.”
