Chapter 486: Chapter 478: No Way Around It

Because he still had no clues, Leon became somewhat discouraged, drooping for a long time on the observation deck at the volcano top, allowing his twin daughters Sida and Tana to jump and hop on him. Apart from occasionally flicking his tail, he didn’t even lift an eyelid.

No matter the purpose, whether to please or simply as a sister’s concern for a brother, Salovis showed a face full of concern, her eyes filled with worry, softly asking, “Brother, why do you look somewhat distracted? Is there something bothering you? Let me hear about it.”

Leon was lying there daydreaming, and upon hearing this, he slowly raised his long neck, gave his sister a sidelong glance, and pulled a slightly mocking smile at the corner of his mouth: “What? Tell you so you can be happy?”

Salovis was choked by Leon’s words and shrank her neck, her mouth moved slightly but didn’t dare utter another word.

“Nothing serious.” Leon eventually voiced his troubles.

“That’s easy to handle.” Salovis said excitedly, “Right next to the Zhen Dan Kingdom is the Lost Plateau, which is full of giants.”

In the long-forgotten ancient times, giants and giant dragons waged nearly endless wars.

As time passed, the smoke of war dispersed long ago. Nowadays, except for the continuous conflict between Frost Giants and White Dragons, Fire Giants and Red Dragons, the bronze dragon might periodically consult a Storm Giant for advice, and Storm Giants would provide guidance through prophecies to bronze dragons. Cloud Giants would help Silver Dragons find new nesting sites, allowing giants and giant dragons to coexist peacefully.

However, regardless, many giant dragons might have forgotten past animosities, yet killing or enslaving giants and the like remains an excellent way to boost the reputation of giant dragons.

“Those ordinary giants, for a small Red Dragon like you, defeating them can enhance your reputation.” Leon sighed helplessly, “For me, it’s bullying the weak, and if word gets out, it’ll only be disgraceful.”

“I’m not weak…” Salovis retorted, flushed.

“Unconvinced? I’ll let you use one hand.” Leon pouted.

“Even if you lie here and let me attack, I can’t break your defense.” Salovis said dejectedly, like a deflated balloon, thinking strength is relative. In front of Leon, she is just a weak Red Dragon, although they are clearly siblings…

Salovis glanced at Sida and Tana playing on Leon, the twins identical in appearance and abilities, and couldn’t help but fantasize that if they were twins instead of siblings, it would be better.

“With my current strength,” Leon squinted slightly, “I have to at least defeat a Giant God’s Descendant like the Flame Divine Successor to enhance my reputation.”

“Then find those Giant God’s Descendants.” Salovis nodded vigorously.

“Do you think Giant God’s Descendants can be found just because you want to?” Leon glared at his silly sister, “Back then, that Flame Divine Successor was sleeping deep within a volcano semi-plane. If not for that Fire Giant Furnace Master trying to use the Flame Divine Successor to kill me, I wouldn’t have had a chance to see them.”

“Besides, defeating a Giant God’s Descendant can raise my prestige, but not by much.” Leon said, irritably wrinkling his nose, “I still need a Giant God.”

Leon believed if he could defeat a Giant God, even the smallest son of Annan, Gloranto, he could significantly enhance his prestige and smoothly become the newly elected Dragon God.

“Kill kill kill.” Salovis, passionate about destruction and chaos, “Kill or enslave all the giants on the Lost Plateau, surely some giants will want to awaken the Giant God’s Descendants to resist, and then perhaps the Giant God will step in.”

“I’ve killed so many Fire Giants, including the Flame Divine Successor, yet the Fire Giants’ main god, Surte, never showed up.” Leon expressed doubt.

Sida and Tana jumped from Leon onto Salovis, Salovis played around with her two nieces and said, “Meanwhile, Vilakis and the Comet Prince are still fighting, how many years has it been?”

“Solving this will undoubtedly raise your voice among the Red Dragons.” Salovis affirmed.

Leon sneered, mockingly said: “Which adult Red Dragon cares about Githyanki affairs?”

“This won’t do, that won’t either…” Salovis grew anxious, “What exactly do you want to do?”

“That’s the crux of my troubles.” Leon squinted again, his gaze full of confusion and helplessness, “I don’t know what I should do now.”

Salovis was clearly unreliable, so Leon could only seek help from Tassera, maybe she could offer some good advice.

“Since you had Isily help you with publicity, not much time has passed.” Tassera reassured Leon, “You don’t have to be in such a hurry.”

Leon sighed deeply.

Seeing this, Tassera continued: “You saw Fiora successfully establish a sect, which made you anxious. But she’s only managed to establish the sect so far, having a slight influence in Watchtower Port, but outside of Watchtower Port it’s ineffective.”

Tassera’s words gradually relaxed Leon’s previously tense nerves.

“However speaking of——” Tassera suddenly changed the topic.

“Speaking of what?” Leon asked, “Don’t leave me hanging.”

“You want to become a Dragon God, but haven’t met His Majesty yet.” Tassera looked at Leon, “I remember you’ve only seen His Majesty’s projection, let alone visited Aphenis to greet Him.”

Leon furrowed his brows and said, “I want to be a Dragon God, what does it have to do with Him, do I have to get His acknowledgment?”

“You tied yourself to Gem Dragon God for promotion… that’s a good move, but besides Gem Dragons, Metal Dragons and Colorful Dragons aren’t necessarily interested in this news.” Tassera calmly analyzed, “You don’t need His nod to become a Dragon God, but gaining His endorsement could accelerate the process.”

After speaking, Tassera gazed intently into Leon’s eyes and asked word by word, “By the way, tell me, are you afraid of His Majesty?”

Leon remained silent for a long time, his lips moved slightly, and said: “Uneasy.”

Strategically belittle the enemy, tactically emphasize the enemy.

Certainly, Tiamat has many foolish antics and is now imprisoned in Aphenis. The most common theory suggests she is sealed by a powerful curse from a forgotten Giant God, while others say she is restricted in the Nine Prisons by certain ancient contracts made by Asmodis. It’s definitely not to be underestimated.

In the past, Leon always flaunted his claws and teeth in front of Tiamat, but in reality, it was the fear deep in his heart towards Tiamat that prompted him to put on a fierce facade, trying to intimidate the opponent with it. Until now, he has mastered the Eight-Nine Mysterious Skill and the Nine Breath Qi, and has defeated the Ocean Goddess.

Tassera nodded slightly, her lips curled in a smile of understanding, softly said, “It’s understandable. Although you are now powerful, He is, after all, the creator of the Colorful Dragon.”

Tassera paused briefly and sincerely said, “My suggestion is that you might consider seeing Him, meeting the true Dragon God. You don’t need to get His acknowledgment, but facing Him allows all dragons to see you clearly, and you can see yourself clearly.”

Tassera chuckled and continued: “Even if you two clash, and you’re not His Majesty’s opponent yet, for such a powerful Red Dragon like you… you’re not even an adult yet, He would absolutely spend infinite patience on you until you willingly submit to Him, ensuring your safety is guaranteed.”

Upon hearing this, Leon lifted his eyes and glanced at Tassera, saying: “Even if He’s like an iceberg at sea, with most of His power hiding in the dark, stronger than I imagine… you overestimate Him, also underestimate me.”

Leon exhaled deeply, pondering secretly, he always hesitated about meeting Tiamat, but now he must confront her.
