Godslaying

[What a fat black dragon!]

This was the second sentence spoken by the God of Judgment descending from the heavens, and Lance, Sophia, Hammond, Eileen, Austin, and the young dragon all heard it.

The young dragon even saw a deity radiating a rich golden divine aura, which startled her so much that her eyes widened. Was this the deity that Sophia had invited down from the divine realm?

Was that unseen being chasing and beating the dragon that night such a deity? How strange.

Why couldn't she see the deity Sophia summoned with her Summoning Divine Art that night, but she saw it this time? Was it a divine manifestation? "Doggy, did you see it?"

"Woof woof woof!"

"What? You call me Dog Bro? What kind of time is this and you still care about that? I'm telling you, have you seen any gods?"

"Waaaaah"

"I vaguely saw it?"

Er Gouzi, sitting in the bamboo basket, nodded, then immediately shrank its two heads back into the basket. It preferred not to see it; such a sacred and powerful being should not exist in this world.

That's it, Lance is probably going to get a beating from this terrifying being.

Should we jump out and give that terrifying being a taste of its own medicine? Maybe we can sneak a bite out of it? You raise a dog for a thousand years, but only use it for a short time. Not to mention that Lance has hardly used it in the past thousand years, only letting it guard Black Dragon Island.

Let's give it our all!

If Lance gets beaten up later, it will protect its master! Er Gouzi can see it, and she can see it too. It seems that the deity that Sophia invited this time is quite high-profile and doesn't mind being seen by the creatures of the human world.

The young dragon glanced furtively at the deity shrouded in golden divinity. For some reason, the deity's words earlier gave her a sly feeling. She felt that when the deity said, "What a fat black dragon," it implied that the dragon had encountered a delicious meal, as if it were a delicacy. She hoped she was overthinking it; if the deity truly meant that, it would definitely enrage the dragon.

Given the dragon's temperament, in its rage it would dare to attack even gods, let alone young dragons. Even Sophia felt that the second line of the "God of Judgment" seemed to imply that the black dragon was being treated as food.

She also felt that the "God of Judgment" was a bit frivolous.

Look at the Valkyrie, her demeanor when she descended from the divine realm and appeared in the human world—that's what she believes a god should look like.

Don't overthink it. Different deities have different personalities, and they appear differently when they descend to the human world.

Before becoming a deity, the God of Judgment was not very reliable to begin with, and unofficial histories about the God of Judgment circulated in the human world for a long time.

She had read unofficial histories about the "God of Judgment," and it was quite normal for the "God of Judgment" in those histories to say such things.

Lance flapped his wings and slowly flew towards the sky. The tone of this god who held the bronze scales artifact was somewhat familiar. Let him take a good look at this god who spoke with a slightly smug tone. Is he some kind of insidious and shameless scoundrel? When he flew to a certain height, a strange light shone in Lance's golden-red vertical pupils. His gaze pierced through the dense divine light on the outer layer of the [God of Judgment]'s divine face and saw the [God of Judgment]'s divine face.

He was immediately stunned.

It really is that shameless, treacherous, cunning, and despicable bastard! Isn't that bastard the Heroic Spirit God King in the Heroic Spirit God Realm?

How come he's become the "God of Judgment" again?

Are the gods of the divine realm incapable of doing anything?

How could this human, who had schemed against them in the human world, become the God of Judgment? [Fat Dragon, you are destined to be with me, would you be willing to become my Pet Beast?]

Ah. Bruce Donahue, the God of Judgment. "Do you believe I can make all your descendants my servants?"

Lance grinned, responding sharply. If Sophia had summoned the God of War, he might not have dared to speak so arrogantly, but facing Bruce Donahue, the God of Judgment, he not only dared to trample on his divine power in front of Sophia, but also dared to beat up a god in front of Sophia.

Even Godslaying! [Insolence, defiance of the gods, blasphemy against the Judgment Scale; your sins will be judged by me.]

Buzz—

With a buzzing sound, Bruce Donahue, the God of Judgment, threw the Judgment Scale into the air. The Judgment Scale instantly became enormous, like a black curtain that covered the sky.

A massive black dragon, tens of thousands of meters long, appeared directly on the bronze disc at the left end of the scales.

The moment he appeared on the left side of the bronze disc, the right side of the bronze disc instantly tilted upwards.

Lance, seeing his predicament, is not flustered. He wants to see Bruce Donahue, the God of Judgment, or Bruce Donahue, the Heroic Spirit God King, is stronger.

I also want to see how the so-called God of Judgment judges him, and whether he has the right to judge him.

Sophia was excited to see the God of Judgment immediately judge the black dragon, but while she was excited, the black dragon's words kept popping into her mind.

The black dragon dared to utter such arrogant words, demanding that the descendants of the God of Judgment become his followers! This is no different from blasphemy.

Besides that, there was something else that caught her attention: the tone of the conversation between the black dragon and the God of Judgment. She felt that the black dragon seemed to know the God of Judgment.

It's not the kind of understanding a believer has of a deity, but the kind of understanding that friends or acquaintances have when they meet again after many years apart.

Is it just an illusion? The fact that the black dragon knew the Valkyrie was already absurd to her. If the black dragon also knew the God of Judgment, then this black dragon wandering in the human world was just an ordinary Pure-Blooded Black Dragon.

Sophia heard Lance's conversation with the God of Judgment, as did the Golden Dragon Austin, Hammond, and the Lightning Dragon Eileen.

They were all terrified by the black dragon's arrogance. To confront the gods, to provoke the gods, to blaspheme the gods—even if the black dragon doesn't die this time, it will lose some of its scales and break some of its Dragon Bone. It won't be able to recover for hundreds or even thousands of years.

This guy has already been placed on the Judgment Scale by the God of Judgment. The moment the black dragon went up, the scales tilted immediately.

Okay, okay.

They want to see the God of Judgment utterly defeat the black dragon!

"I'm giving you a chance to judge me. I hope you can truly judge me. If the outcome of the trial doesn't convince me, even if you are a god, I will still demand an explanation from you."

If you cannot give me a reasonable explanation then, then I will judge you, I will judge you, this god.

Arrogant and domineering.

She's not as cute as she was when she was little.

I miss the black dragon Lance from my childhood.

Bruce Donahue, the God of Judgment shrouded in intense divinity, clicked his tongue upon hearing Lance's words, preparing to take the opportunity to teach this black dragon, who had been difficult to fool since childhood, a lesson.

Upon arriving in the human world, the moment he saw the black dragon, he immediately recognized that this black dragon, which had swelled to ten thousand meters in length, was the little guy he had been longing for for a long time.

When the black dragon was young, it didn't dare to bare its teeth and claws at all when it saw him, and would always run away whenever it had the chance.

Unexpectedly, when they met again after many years, the grown-up had dared to provoke him, who had become a god, and even suppressed him.

Although his true form did not descend that time, a wisp of his divine consciousness did, and he was able to easily suppress even powerful beings who had condensed divine sparks when they attacked him.

However, he was unable to do so when facing the adult black dragon Lance.

This meeting gave him a slight shock; a black dragon ten thousand meters long—even the Dragon King of Dragon Island would be terrified upon seeing such a colossal dragon.

The little guy from back then has become incredibly arrogant, and now he even wants to judge this god. It's time to let the black dragon Lance see the power of a god.

It would be good for him to be judged in advance. If this guy really has some serious sin on his hands, he can make amends as much as possible when he appears on the Judgment Scale. If he can't make amends, he can be exonerated through Divine Punishment.

It will not affect his future attainment of divinity.

The black dragon Lance is guilty, and he will unleash Divine Punishment, openly and justifiably whipping Lance. Just thinking about it is exhilarating.

[First Trial: To see if you have committed arson, murder, robbery, kidnapping of princesses, or obscene acts against human girls. No answer is required; the Judgment Scale will automatically make the judgment. If you have committed such acts, the Judgment Scale will bring Divine Punishment.]

The trial begins!

Buzz—

The Judgment Scale shone with a dazzling platinum-gold light, which then enveloped Lance, who was sitting on the bronze disc.

The moment Lance was enveloped by the bronze disc, numerous images appeared on it —Lance's memories and the things he had done.

Memories unrelated to arson, murder, and looting were quickly filtered out by the Judgment Scale, so quickly that Sophia, the Golden Dragon Austin, Hammond, the Lightning Dragon Eileen, and the young Human Dragon were completely unable to see them.

After the trial began, four divine runes appeared on the bronze plate on the right. Sophia recognized them; the four runes were "burning, killing, looting".

The four divine runes appeared quickly and disappeared just as quickly.

The disappearance of the divine inscriptions signifies that the Black Dragon never committed such evil acts as burning, killing, and looting.

Sophia and Hammond were surprised to see the divine runes disappear. The legendary evil black dragon had never committed any acts of burning, killing, or looting in the human world.

If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they would never have believed that Black Dragon hadn't committed acts of burning, killing, and looting.

He may not have committed acts of arson, murder, looting, or kidnapping of princesses, but surely he must have done them?

After the four divine characters representing burning, killing, looting, and plunder disappeared, four more characters appeared on the bronze plate on the right: "[Forced Abduction of the Princess]".

This time, some images reappeared on the bronze plate on the left. Unlike before, some of the images appeared clearly on the bronze plate on the left.

The first scene: The black dragon appears in the capital of a human kingdom in human form, passes the palace's test, and becomes a guard.

Not long after, the black dragon became the princess's bodyguard thanks to his own strength. At first, the princess didn't have any feelings for the black dragon, until he saved her during an assassination attempt. Only then did the princess gradually start to take the black dragon, who had turned into a human, seriously.

The scene shifts to the princess attending a banquet. Someone attempts to poison her using drinks, clothing, and some plants in the banquet hall, but the black dragon, now in human form, discovers this beforehand.

This time, the Black Dragon thwarted the murder attempt without making a sound. After the banquet, the princess returned to her palace and felt unwell, so she told the Black Dragon.

Heilong said it was nothing, he would be fine after a good night's sleep.

In the days that followed, the princess was assassinated several times, but the black dragon averted each attempt. When the princess came of age, the king decided to use her marriage to win over the most powerful duke in the kingdom.

The princess disliked the duke's son, but she dared not disobey her father. One night, after drinking some red wine, the princess confided her feelings to the black dragon.

Black Dragon said, "That's simple. Make your father abdicate, and you can become Queen and control your own life."

The princess laughed and said that she didn't have the strength of the black dragon, and then she got drunk.

The scene shifts again, and the princess of the kingdom is getting married. Escorted by the kingdom's army, the princess rides in a wedding carriage to the grand duke's Fief to marry the grand duke's child.

Black Dragon was also in the convoy.

However, not long after the princess's wedding carriage left the capital, the black dragon deliberately lagged behind the procession for a distance, then transformed back into a black dragon and kidnapped the princess.

When the princess, who had been abducted to the dragon's lair, saw the black dragon, she fainted on the spot. After fainting several times, she finally slowly accepted that she had been abducted by the evil dragon.

Just when the princess thought she was going to be violated by the dragon, the dragon didn't touch her at all. He fed her meat every day and made her run to improve her physical fitness.

Sometimes he would even teach the princess some martial arts skills.

Unfortunately, the princess was too useless and had no potential to become a strong person, so the black dragon began to teach her to identify and concoct potions.

With the black dragon feeding her meat at every meal, the princess gained weight at a visible rate.

One day, the princess asked the black dragon why he taught her how to concoct potions.

The black dragon said he wanted a Queen's consort, saying she was a princess and qualified to inherit the throne.

He said that when she was released back to the kingdom, that would be the time she would become Queen.

True to his word, Black Dragon returned to the kingdom a few years later with the princess. He used his overwhelming power to sweep through the royal guards in the palace, demolished the old king's palace, removed him from the throne, and placed the princess on the throne.

He said to the princess, "From now on, you are the king of this kingdom. I will sweep all those who oppose you into the trash heap."

Then the black dragon roared again above the capital, shouting that the princess was his servant and that if she died, he would massacre the entire capital and turn it into ruins.

After staying in the capital for three days, the black dragon left. During these three days, the princess used the potion knowledge she had learned from the black dragon to gain control over all the princes, ministers, and nobles in the capital.

She became the Queen of the kingdom.

Once she was firmly on the throne, she remembered what her former guard had told her one night: to become Queen.

Now, she has truly become Queen with the help of the black dragon. She thought the black dragon really only wanted her to become his Queen.

Unexpectedly, she never saw the Black Dragon again before she abdicated. The scene then shifts to a new princess being kidnapped by the Black Dragon and taken to his lair.

This princess is a warrior with immense strength. She is the second in line to the throne and has an older brother.

When the princess led her troops into battle again, she fell into an ambush set by the enemy. While fleeing from pursuers, she was kidnapped by a black dragon. After kidnapping the princess, the black dragon fed her meat at every meal and told her stories from time to time. The stories were about a prince with exceptional military skills who imprisoned his father, as well as the first in line to the throne and all the other heirs, and became king himself.
