Chapter 68: Purgatory Volcanoes
"Ah, this is not very good!"
Diapolo was shocked when he heard Ophelia's words, "No matter what, Critil is your subordinate. He has been with you for so long. Let her be my weapon, and other angels will feel uncomfortable!"
"If I had Critil as my weapon, would you think other angels would have any objections?"
"Won't."
Recalling Ophelia's authority among the Dragon Blood Angels, Diapolo shook his head decisively. For many Dragon Blood Angels, Ophelia is the sun, so when the Critil was cheated, he would bring her husband to find Ophelia without hesitation when he could not make a decision.
"So, if you become the king like me, no matter who you are, you will be proud of it."
"Okay." Hearing Ophelia's expectations, Diapolo answered directly.
"However, I need time to accumulate strength."
"Well, I'll help you."
Ophelia's eyes were ethereal and distant. It was a matter of time before she left the Dragon Realm. She would no longer have to worry about it. What she was thinking about now was how to gain a foothold in the main material world after she went out.
...
After returning to the Dragon Realm from the City of Origin, Diapolo lived a boring and repetitive life, fighting, reading, eating, and sleeping.
However, such a slightly boring life is envied by countless dragons in the Dragon Realm and jealous. Because Diapolo has the strong support of a queen of the Dragon Realm, she has gained the resources of her forces.
No matter what it is, Diapolo gets the best, especially the food item. The Queen of Blood Prison Ophelia ordered the Guards Angels under her command to collect the elements of the elite condensed objects in the Dragon Domain for the King's husband.
Under this saturated resource supply, Diapolo's dragon body grew day by day, and even began to transition from the young dragon stage to the young dragon stage without even sleeping.
And in this transition period, Diapolo received the request from his partner Ophelia.
"The Purgatory Volcanoes, which I incorporated into rule by war two years ago, were invaded. I have lost control of that area, but I do not have a suitable legion under my command for the time being, so, Diapolo, please help me take back that volcanoes!"
"What is this for?"
Diabolo was stunned when he heard Ophelia's request, and a subtle look suddenly appeared on the dragon's face.
The Purgatory Volcanoes are the territory that the ancient dragon of the Hellfire, Lorrain, ruled before becoming a slave. If Diapolo remembers correctly, Ophelia did not send a legion to station at all, but just declared that the area belongs to her rule and ordered the dragon tribes there to pay regular tribute.
"Yes, but..."
"Then it's settled. Go and take back the Purgatory Volcanoes! By the way, it's a little bit of rectification. It's quite chaotic, and it's even more chaotic after losing the lord."
"Yes, OK."
Seeing that Ophelia had confirmed, Diapolo no longer refused. His eldest wife's intention was obvious, which was to ask him to take over the Purgatory Volcano Group and have his own power.
In fact, such intentions have been shown in actual training. The angels of the training forced the evil dragons to move closer to Diapolo, who could draw the power of the ancient dragon of the Incarnation Fire at any time.
Diapolo could understand why she did this, because Ophelia's command was home to many humanoid dragon blood creatures, but no truly powerful traditional dragons defected to her.
Although the Dragon Clan is the most powerful, most of them are only willing to surrender to their fellow tribes who are stronger than themselves, rather than Ophelia, who looks more like an alien.
Therefore, the current arrangement is here. When dragons face powerful tribes, their bones will be much softer. When facing creatures with inferior blood than themselves, even if they cannot be beaten, they are unwilling to bow their heads and surrender.
"Then I'm looking forward to your victory."
After throwing a word, Ophelia disappeared directly, leaving only the contemplative Diapolo.
"Lord Lord Dragon, is there anything you need to come over to me?" Lorraine, the ancient dragon of the hellfire summoned by Diapolo, rushed over. When he saw the black dragon lying there, looking up quietly at the distant sky, he was shocked.
"Ophelia just came to me and said that your original territory had lost control and asked me to go over and take it back."
"It's not my business, Lord Dragon Lord, the chaos there has nothing to do with me."
"When did I ask you this question?" Diapolo lowered his head, and the dazzling light flowed in the dark golden dragon's eyes.
"Even if you stay in Veronil, you can still understand your original territory. It seems that you have a good control over your territory."
"Lord Lord Dragon, I don't have any control. I just have a group of slaves. I control their souls, so they dare not betray me."
Hearing Diapolo's words, Lorraine crawled on the ground, with a look of humility and fear on her face.
He is really afraid of Diapolo now. This young dragon who is unable to reproduce has been tormenting him a lot after returning and often hit his soul.
He endured the pain in his soul several times and gradually got used to it. This made Lorraine uncomfortable. Every time he fought, Diapolo unscrupulously took out the power from his body.
The feeling of powerlessness that is completely uncontrollable and the weakness after the power is pulled away is a feeling that it is more uncomfortable than the soul being punished and hurt.
"It's interesting. Summon your servants over and I want to know what's going on there."
Diapolo returned to peace after being surprised. It was normal. There were three nails on the rotten ship. Lorraine was at least the dragon lord who ruled the land before the defeat. It was very reasonable that he had a group of slaves under him who had his soul controlled.
"Lord Dragon Lord, those lowly earth dragons cannot get close to here. If you want to ask, you have to change the place."
"Um."
Soon, under the guidance of this ancient dragon of Hellfire, Diapolo saw three thin earth dragons under a mountain far away from Veronil.
Unbelievable that the dragon that even can eat soil will look so desolate. Diapolo looked at the three black-scaled earth dragons with trembling bodies in surprise.
The dark and thick dragon scales as thick as armor, and the bone spurs on the limbs and spines that look extremely sharp. This extremely aggressive appearance should not be like this.
"How did you become like this?"
In the three black-scaled earth dragons' stuttering answers, Diapolo learned about the general condition of the purgatory volcano today and why they were so embarrassed.
Three years ago, his wife belonged to Queen Ophelia. After winning the war of aggression, she did not directly send angels to take over the territories of the evil dragons. She only announced her occupation in name.
The consequence of this is that in less than three years, other dragon lords became covetous to those unowned territories.
The volcano group occupied by the ancient dragon Lorraine ashes, attracted the attention of many fire dragons. Under the ambition of those overlords in the dragon, the dragon race that originally survived and reproduced among the volcanic groups suddenly fell into turmoil.
The tribes of the black-scale earth dragons in front of them were fragmented, and these three earth dragons had to run into the territory of the Queen of Blood Prison in order to survive. These guys felt that Lorraine's existence had not disappeared, so they followed the contract and found them.
However, the territory of the Queen of Blood Prison is the only lord in the Dragon Realm with a complete ruling order. Here there are completely full-time dragon army and villages specializing in planting and production.
Therefore, the three earth dragons lived a very miserable life. When they first came into the camera, they were discovered by patrolling angels. Because they had the ability to drill soil, they escaped.
After entering the country again, they could only eat grass, wood, soil, and did not even dare to hunt because they were afraid of causing too much noise. However, now it seems that their current wandering and soil life can end.
"It seems that there is no trouble." Diapolo muttered after understanding the general situation, just some greedy dragon overlords.
So, when Diapolo descended to the Purgatory Volcanoes with those dragons who had learned to obey orders, the Purgatory Volcanoes ended.
The viscous and hot magma flowed slowly on the ground, and the scorching gas with a strong smell of sulfur rose, distorting the air. From the outside alone, this lava flowed like a river, and the air even contained toxins was a forbidden area for living creatures.
But in fact, if you really step into it, you will find that this is a prosperous place, both animals and plants, are more vibrant and, of course, more tyrannical than ordinary areas.
“It’s really spectacular!”
The scenery inside the Purgatory Volcano opened his eyes to Diapolo, and he once again realized how tenacious the vitality of the dragon blood creatures was.
Not far ahead of him, a lava waterfall roared down. The waterfall was completely intercepted by a giant tree growing on the cliff and the mountain. The rolling magma would flow down the trunk again after the crown of the giant tree was poured through the tree.
"Lord Dragon Lord, just take a look here, don't get close to that tree."
"Huh?" Diabolo, who had wanted to get close to the ancient tree, turned back in surprise. The evil dragon with a ferocious body with no power at all,
"This is your territory."
"Lord Lord Dragon, that tree is very troublesome. Its root system is very developed. Although it is not very exposed to the ground, its root system has actually spread to the entire volcanic group."
"This tree can grow like this in a year or two, right? How did you endure it before?"
Diapolo looked at the giant trees bathing in lava, and the face was playful. The dragons' personalities were more domineering than the other, and they were the only ones. It was hard to imagine that an evil dragon would live with a plant that could threaten it.
