Chapter 626: Chapter 621: Expansion War Chapter 626: Chapter 621: Expansion War After a series of negotiations, Muria finally reached an agreement with the Shadowy Girl. The rituals of this goddess’s follower would remain unchanged, but they must be conducted on a specific Cloud Island during which no one else could be present.

At the same time, a Magic Array that blocks visuals, Mental Power, and detection spells would be constructed. It could be activated during the Titan’s prayers to prevent outside observation. The costs for designing and constructing this array would be borne by the church of this goddess.

“That settles it then, Titan and Son of the Dragon.” The silver-haired, dark-skinned girl looked at Muria, smiled faintly, and then her body slowly disintegrated in mid-air, scattering into brilliant spirits lights that fell in the palace.

“Finally dealt with these uninvited guests.” Muria sighed to Michaela at his side, “I never thought so many beings would sneak into Xena Pus.”

“It’s quite normal. Sometimes, some powerful beings and adorable creatures would sneak into our Blazing Sky God Race’s Cloud City.”

“But this is not some hermitage.” Muria stroked his chin. He knew many powerful beings liked to wander around and then find a place they liked to rest when they felt tired, which was what people called hermitage.

For instance, the Nether Purple Emperor in the land of the Titan tribe just wandered in the Void. When it got tired, it happened to come across the Titan tribe, and then it accepted the invitation from the titan to come to Erathia.

“To be frank, the environment here is quite nice. From my perspective, this place is a great refuge.”

“Is that so? Thanks for the compliment.”

“I suggest you formulate a relevant policy. More powerful beings and strange creatures might be attracted here in the future. Some of them you should make stay, and some should be expelled.”

“I would obviously stay those who bring goodwill or aren’t harmful. As for the weak, if they can prove their value to Xena Pus, they can also stay.” Muria had an approximate plan in mind. He was not planning to set up a refuge.

…

In the Northlands, where the Ice Storm brought by the Ice Queen had once decimated four human kingdoms, now stand the capital of the White Dragon Kingdom, Frost Coast White Dragon City. Countless ice and snow intelligent creatures come and go with a staggering fluidity.

Despite the severe measures and commands, as well as the harsh punishments she imposed, killing many monsters that recklessly slaughtered humans after taking down the human kingdom, the status of humans inevitably fell in this country.

Now, in the capital of the White Dragon Kingdom, humans were no longer seen. Only in some obscure corners could one spot a few humans, shrinking timidly.

Monsters oppressed humans. White Dragon Clodia indirectly approved of this, for she needed human productivity. Too much restriction on her monsters would be prioritizing the wrong things.

Ironically, even with various threats and the knowledge of Evil Dragons ruling, the people of the four former northern kingdoms slowly began to forget their human rulers. They were slowly adapting to the rule of foreign races. This was because their standard of living was gradually improving.

At this moment, above the sky of the dragon city bustling with ice and snow creatures, a space rift hundreds of meters long appeared out of nowhere, gradually tearing open. A giant dragon emitting a hazy golden light flew out of it, followed by a faint pressure covering the entire city.

Naturally, even if Muria did not deliberately unleash his Dragon Prestige, his dragon body, which was over 200 meters long at this time, was so imposing that the sight of it was shocking. The white dragons patrolling the sky landed, crawled around on all fours; the snow monkeys guarding the city knelt down; ice scorpions, snow bears, and other creatures were shivering… All creatures were showing their most reverent behaviors, expressing their fear at the moment.

“What a terrifying creature.”

“This is the first time I’ve seen such a large dragon!”

“How can there be such a huge dragon?”

Under the awe-inspired gazes of nearly a million monsters, Muria flew to the Ice Palace in the center. No white dragon made a move to stop him.

“How do you feel?” The golden dragon landed before the Ice Palace, transformed into a giant Titan and walked into the infamous Ice Palace in the Northland. Seated on the Ice Throne was a slender and elegant white dragon. Unlike its usual demeanor, the dragon appeared listless and drained of energy.

“As you can see, my injuries have all healed.” White Dragon Clodia replied with indifference.

“Is that so? But it seems that you’re not in a good state.”

“It’s fine. I’ll be back to normal after a while.”

“Aren’t you unwilling? From the moment you were born till now, you’ve never slacked off. And yet, when real conflict occurred, you lost so tragically.” Muria suddenly asked.

“Of course I’m unwilling. But I’ve come to terms with it. Every life is born differently. There’s no such thing as true fairness. Compared to most lives in the world, I already had a good start. It’s just that this time, I encountered someone who had an even better start than me.”

White Dragon Clodia understood that as a dragon, she had already led the race at the starting point, ahead of 99% of lives in the world. And being adopted by Muria, she was the luckiest among the white dragons.

“Talent and bloodline are determined by birth and there is no choice. But the acquired can compensate.” Muria said slowly.

“How to compensate? I worked hard, but the other party also worked hard and did not lag behind me. The gap always exists.”

“Then do not let the gap grow bigger.”

“Alright, don’t try to comfort me. I know how to adjust my mentality. I will recover after a while.” White Dragon looked at Muria. “Tell me, why did you come here? It couldn’t be to comfort me which will be a boring matter.”

“I’m thinking of starting a war.” Muria answered. “Help you conquer the entire Northland, or I will independently unite all the Frost Giant Tribes.”

“You want to proceed simultaneously?” The White Dragon queried with confusion. “You do not have the strength for that.”

“That’s why I need to prioritize. I wanted to assist you in taking down the entire Northland first, as the humans are prone to intrigues and are known to pull each other’s legs at critical times. They make for the perfect target.”

“Indeed,” the white dragon nodded, “If you intend to help me conquer the fifteen countries of the Northland at once, I am not yet fully prepared.”

“How much more time do you need?” Muria asked.

“About two years!”

“Is that so? Then I’ll start a war of expansion against the Frost Giants!” Muria decided. Consolidating all the Frost Giant Tribes was not something he could accomplish in one war.
