The villainous prince who bullied Feng Aotian was actually myself.

"If it's just the dragon bone of the Order Dragon, it doesn't necessarily have to be Erik's. There are more than just her among the dragon race, and the Dragon Emperor's ascension only requires good luck. He doesn't necessarily have to take the luck sealed in Erik's body. He can take Fchester's or any other kingdom's."

Leon continued his analysis.

"Eric's death simply eliminated their optimal option."

"But at least this will buy us more time."

"Leon spoke up."

There are other ways to delay.

Leon continued.

"Other ways?"

Leon seemed to have thought of that too, "You're planning to go to the underground city of the royal palace?"

"Yes."

Leon nodded.

The underground city of the palace is where Fitcher stores the sealed artifacts.

There are many powerful sealed artifacts there, some of which even have the potential to destroy the world.

Among them are many powerful, covert sealing artifacts.

And now,

Leon and his companions were in the palace.

Having watched the anime, Leon knew very well which powerful treasures were in the underground city of the palace.

He even knew how to trigger "divine retribution".

"Divine Retribution" is a power that even true gods fear. Legend has it that Divine Retribution is a "sword," the sword of the empire, humanity's most powerful self-defense force. Once activated, it means either regaining the light or eternal damnation.

But what exactly is divine retribution?

Only a very few people know this.

"I will hide Eric well."

Leon spoke confidently.

He then reached out and took Eric's hand.

Eric's hands were cold and stiff, like lifeless objects.

To Leon's surprise, she didn't haughtily shake him off and warn him to mind his own business, but instead let him lead her away.

Sometimes I have this illusion.

Watching Leon lead Eric away, Leon spoke up.

"illusion?"

Hawkeye asked curiously.

"Hmm, I feel that he is not like the royal brother I know at all. My royal brother should not be such a soft-hearted guy."

Leon explained.

"Perhaps, he is the best at disguising himself."

Edwin chuckled, "But Your Highness Leon, are you just going to let him take the Dragon Girl to the dungeon like this?"

“It’s okay, I think he can definitely do it.”

Leon laughed, "Alright, there's still a ton of mess to deal with. I think—Nedon's probably almost there by now."

"Nedon has been bewitched."

Avery said, his tone very certain.

Guarding the underground city of the palace is the elite force of Caesar's personal guard, the Knights of the Cross, led by the First Knight Seth.

If Leon wants to enter the dungeon to obtain the sealed artifact.

There is no way to avoid it, except for Sait.

Seth, however, was loyal to only one lifetime.

Chapter Seven: Divine Retribution (Part 1)

Within a hidden world.

This is a desert.

The moon hung serenely high in the sky, its silvery light scattering across the desert, making the fine dust appear like silver powder.

Three enormous dragons, and a dragon even larger and more majestic than the three, spread their huge wings and circled in the sky as these four behemoths arrived.

The entire desert seemed to be boiling, with hurricanes whipping up sand and dust that swirled wildly, creating a thick fog.

Finally, the dragons discovered a single building in the vast desert.

This is a church with a towering dome that reaches into the clouds.

The church was blood-red, so strikingly bright under the pale moonlight.

This caused even the proud ancient dragon flying at the very front to freeze in mid-air.

"Lilith?"

The Dragon Emperor's thick throat spewed hot air, producing a magnificent low sound.

Lilith,

This is the name of the progenitor of the vampire clan.

The progenitors of the vampire clan are the holders of hidden authority, the guardian deities of the vampire clan, and the oldest gods among the few remaining deities in the world.

Lilith existed during the time of the first generation of Dragon Gods.

The fall of the greatest of gods, the Dragon God, was partly due to the work of this vampire.

Legend has it that Lilith seized the power of night and ascended to the throne in the Crimson Church during the eternal darkness.

And now,

The moon that never disappears

A world that is always night

A towering, blood-red church.

All these signs indicate that this place is the place from mythology.

The vampire queen pulled them all into the world of mythology.

However, the Dragon Emperor was not too surprised by this.

Because of his near-divine level, only the power of mythology could trap him.

The vampire queen was only a half-step angel king. She wanted to hide herself and the three dragon kings, and it was obvious that she couldn't do it without the power of the ancient monster in her family who had lived for millions of years.

The Dragon Emperor and the three Dragon Kings landed empty-handed in front of the church.

The vampire queen stood at the entrance.

"Lilith can't act; she's probably in a dormant state right now."

The Dragon Emperor showed no fear whatsoever.

Although he is not a god, he may still have a way to kill gods.

However, since this is in the other party's territory, I will have to pay a heavy price.

"Yes, I only borrowed the divine domain of the Ancestor. The Ancestor is not here, and His condition is indeed unable to interfere in the battle."

The vampire queen spoke slowly and deliberately, her voice like the song of a nightingale, calm yet not weak.

"In that case, you can't keep me trapped for long."

The Dragon Emperor scoffed.

"Of course I can't hold you back for long, but I'm just providing a battlefield. I'm not the one who's really going to fight you."

The vampire queen spoke frankly, and then the church door opened a crack, and the queen quickly hid inside.

The door is closed.

The blood-red church was like a forbidden zone for life.

The Dragon Emperor discovered that whenever he tried to get closer, he could feel the oppressive aura emanating from mythology.

If they force their way into the church, Lilith might be forced to awaken. The Dragon Emperor had no doubt that even if the old monster was not in good condition, he still possessed the strength to overpower him.

Since the vampire queen has no intention of making a move, I might as well try to leave this place. After all, my purpose today is not to fight the vampires.

Defeating our mortal enemies, humans, is as easy as crushing these vampires, these ants.

Just as the Dragon Emperor was preparing to try to break through this space and return to reality.

Suddenly, an extremely sharp aura appeared in the Dragon Emperor's senses. The Dragon Emperor realized that this might be the guy the Vampire Queen had mentioned who was going to deal with him.

Among the Glory-level Angel Kings, the Dragon Emperor is considered a top-tier existence.

Moreover, the Dragon Emperor was the Angel King at his peak, in full strength.

Currently, among all the angels in the world, only that guy can rival the Dragon Emperor.

Soon, the Dragon Emperor determined the location.

He saw a man wearing a black tuxedo and a red tie.

The man had a head of brilliant blond hair, and his pale blue eyes were calm and still.

"Second Emperor—no, it should be First Emperor. Fchester never changed emperors. You successfully fooled me. I thought you were dead back then."

The Dragon Emperor and the man stared at each other.

"Now I know, it's too late."

Facing the Dragon Emperor's majestic golden eyes, the man remained calm and composed, as if the enormous creature before him were an old friend he hadn't seen for many years.

"No, it's not too late."

The Dragon Emperor coldly snorted, "An ant like you, I can kill you once, and I can kill you countless times."

"Ha, Philip Rhys, I said ten years ago that you would die from your arrogance sooner or later."

Yi Shi chuckled, “There are many kings in the world, but only one can sit on the highest throne. It’s time for us to settle our score.”

"That's exactly what I was thinking. Don't think that just because you've advanced to the Glory rank, you can stand against me. I've killed quite a few Angel Kings, and you're not even in the top tier among them."

The Dragon Emperor stared intently at Yi Shi, his enormous, lantern-like eyes seeming to truly ignite with fire.

"Is it?"

A lifetime of disdainful laughter.

Then he raised his hands high, and countless bolts of lightning flashed from the sky. A bone sword burning with golden flames pierced the dark sky and flew rapidly toward Yi Shi.

Finally, it was held in the hands of a lifetime.

The moment he grasped the bone sword, Yi Shi's aura surged dramatically.

Even though his body was so small, in the Dragon Emperor's eyes, he seemed to have become incredibly tall, tall enough to look down on him.

The three peerless dragon kings behind the Dragon Emperor had already instinctively felt fear.

In a single lifetime, in an instant, he elevated his status to the level of "myth"!

"Is it still possible to get a number now?"

He sneered for a lifetime.

"Divine Punishment! You've activated Divine Punishment!"

The Dragon Emperor was incredulous.

"How is this possible! Activating the Heavenly Punishment requires—could it be that you!"

The Dragon Emperor took a deep breath.
