That Is Pledging Allegiance to My Dear

Even Constance, standing to the side, furrowed her brows. The divine blood within her body was nearly boiling, whether from fear or hostility, she could not tell.

That was a supreme existence she could never hope to challenge.

Because that was the ultimate creature standing at the pinnacle of the world:

An Ancient Dragon that had turned into an evil god.

And at this moment,

The mood of the Supreme of the Nether Realm behind the door was just as turbulent as Rhine's.

After Olivia carefully scrutinized the two people outside the door, especially the white-haired demigod girl,

The Ancient Dragon Princess was so moved she was nearly in tears.

It was simply incredible...

The Dragon Princess could hardly believe her eyes.

Outside the door, there were actually true Imperial Guards...

This Rhine Hyun was actually the real one!!

9. Conquering the Ancient Dragon Princess

"Prince of Hain, future Ruler of the empire, blood relative of Order—Rhine Hyun."

Beneath the Dreamland, separated by a teleportation gate.

The Ancient Dragon Princess, Olivia, was squinting her eyes, carefully sizing up Rhine:

"As you wish, I have accepted your summons. Now, state your purpose."

The Ancient Dragon Princess's voice was cold and serious.

Although she looked quite stern.

But in reality, Olivia's heart was wildly excited at this moment.

How thrilling...

The one who summoned her this time was actually the real Prince of Hain.

The New King who was about to replace the sickly Empress and rule the strongest nation!

Although Olivia was a Supreme, her state of mind had never become any more peaceful because of her status as the Supreme of the Nether Realm.

How did that saying go?

Troubles never increase or decrease based on changes in social class.

A Supreme also has a Supreme's vexations. For instance, due to the Hain Empire's massive expansion of proselytizing, the followers of the Dragon of Lust were becoming fewer and fewer. The once inexhaustible Pervert Energy was now no longer enough for her to feed on!

In a few more years, she feared her garden would start to suffer a famine!

It was precisely because this psychological weakness was seized upon that Olivia had been tricked out of so many Dragon Scales back then.

And now,

The real Rhine Hyun had appeared before her.

Come on, come on! State your demands!

Olivia was very curious about what the Prince of the Hain Empire could possibly have to say to her.

On the other side.

Facing Olivia, his former mortal enemy, Rhine felt extremely uncomfortable. Yet, he still managed to put on a respectful attitude toward her:

Rhine: "Before I state my purpose and engage in any conversation, Your Highness Olivia, I hope to obtain a guarantee from you."

Olivia smiled slightly: "Let's hear it."

Rhine: "Then, Your Highness Olivia, I hope you will guarantee that you will not pry into my thoughts in any way."

Olivia possessed the ability to perceive thoughts.

However, Rhine was unwilling to let anyone pry into his brain.

This was not for Rhine's own sake, but for the sake of others.

Rhine Hyun was a witness who had experienced a thousand rebirths and had come to understand the roots of the world and destiny.

He was like some forbidden book...

If one were to pry into Rhine's memories without permission, even Olivia might collapse on the spot from being unable to withstand the shock.

"No problem."

Olivia was very magnanimous. She also knew that in the social morality of mortals, privacy was an important part that could not be violated at will.

Rhine: "Then, I shall now state my purpose."

Rhine sighed in his heart and gave a stiff bow to Olivia:

"I wish to join your ranks, to become your apostle on earth and spread your glory."

"Ha! Hahahahaha!"

Upon hearing this, Olivia burst into loud laughter!

She had not expected that the reason Rhine Hyun summoned her would be so ordinary, yet so beyond her expectations!

He actually really wanted to convert to Olivia!

Having a new follower, and the next emperor of the Hain Empire at that, naturally made Olivia very hap... py?

Happy?

Happy my foot!

"So that's it. No, absolutely not! I don't agree!"

Olivia crossed her hands into an "X," looking very resistant:

"Rhine Hyun, look at yourself! Although you won't let me read your mind, but, but don't you know? The expression on your face is written full of hatred for me!"

Olivia frowned and said with dissatisfaction: "Right now, you look like you're holding your nose while talking to a pile of dung!"

Olivia questioned: "Do you think this is called surrendering? Is this called converting? How could I possibly trust you! You just want to use conversion as a bargaining chip to negotiate terms with me! Don't try to fool me! You don't have me in your heart; you can't forget that Order at all!"

Rhine listened quietly to the end, appearing somewhat surprised.

Then, Rhine smiled.

He smiled sincerely and very happily.

Olivia furrowed her brows: "Ha... what's so funny about that?"

Rhine said sincerely: "Your Highness Olivia, you are truly worthy of being the greatest and most respectable Supreme in the entire Nether Realm."

"...?"

Olivia slowly produced a question mark.

Had she just said something remarkable?

Why did she feel that this Rhine Hyun had suddenly become enthusiastic toward her?

Rhine said with pleasant surprise: "I couldn't even imagine... that there would be any supreme being in the Nether Realm willing to set aside arrogance and prejudice, and be able to say they would 'negotiate terms' with a mere mortal."

Hmm...

That was indeed true.

The other native evil gods in the Nether Realm were all arrogant and looked down on everyone. They had nothing better to do than to hold blood sacrifices every few days or persecute their own followers; she didn't know where they got so much trouble from.

In the Nether Realm, there was no other kind goddess like her, Olivia, who was gentle, kind, and even if a follower made a mistake, only ruined their xp a little!

This Rhine Hyun, he had a good eye...

"Heh... I'll take that as a compliment."

Olivia hummed, her mood seemingly improving. She was no longer as repulsed by Rhine's attitude.

She could also understand that Rhine Hyun was a prince of the empire, a blood relative of the goddess who grew up bathed in the glory of "Order."

For such a person to be full of goodwill toward Olivia from the start would have been the strange thing!

But looking at it now... after witnessing Olivia's personal charm, this Rhine Hyun had truly begun to acknowledge her!

Hehehehe...

I, Olivia, am truly worthy of being the most charming deity in the entire Nether Realm!

Olivia was very proud, looking at Rhine Hyun with appreciation.

Hmm, the child is teachable!

However.

What Olivia would never know was.

Rhine's initial disgust and repulsion, his later discovery of Olivia's "shining points," and his subsequent enthusiasm and sincerity...

All of this transformation.

Was all an act by Rhine.

Having fought the Dragon of Lust for hundreds of lifetimes, Rhine was absolutely one of the people in the world who understood Olivia best.

He was too familiar with Olivia's nature.

—What a cute and easily fooled creature.

Rhine mocked in his heart.

Facing Olivia, who was being coaxed into being smug and cocky,

Rhine could finally get to the main point and discuss the specific terms of the deal.

10. Divine Punishment of Order

With just a few words and a comical performance, Rhine had successfully gained Olivia's initial favor.

Admittedly, in this game of chess, Rhine had the advantage of having figured out Olivia's temper in advance, allowing him to prescribe the perfect medicine for the illness.

But fundamentally, it was still due to Olivia's not-so-bright brain.

This was not to say that the evil god Olivia was unintelligent or a foolish god.

Although she was indeed a foolish god, her peers, the other gods, were no better.

Deities were not omniscient or omnipotent; on the contrary, they were special creations driven by pure emotions or bound by absolute laws.

Such things were generally incapable of making "wise" judgments in the conventional sense.

Most of the time, they could only act based on the instincts they possessed at their birth.

When it came down to it,

The gods of this world were all a bit mentally ill.

After dispelling Olivia's suspicion of Rhine, Rhine could finally discuss the terms.

Rhine first respectfully stated his stance: "As Your Highness Olivia said, I do indeed lack reverence for you, but that does not mean I would revere other deities. I may not be able to contribute faith to you yet, but we can certainly strike a good deal."

Ha...

A deal.

Admittedly, the demons of the Nether Realm often loved to make deals with mortals.

But evil gods had always disdained such tricks...

No, it should be said that these ant-like mortals were simply not worthy of negotiating any terms with an evil god.

The supreme being could punish or bless the masses at will based on a momentary whim, without needing to follow any logic, acting wantonly and tyrannically.

However, some beings were exceptions.

For a proud wild horse like Rhine Hyun, Olivia was very happy to spend some effort to tame him.

To make this tiny ant gradually submit, fall, and eventually become a simp for Her Highness the Ancient Dragon Princess Olivia!!
