Chapter 300 CH 270:DRAGON EMPRESS

Name:Son of the Hero King Author:
The primordial Dragon of Chaos.

Tiamat.

The only known current Divine Beast to have broken the limitations and reached the level of False God.

As Surtr faced the woman that was so small that she looked like a small bug, he couldn’t help but show a serious expression on his lava-filled face.

Surtr was a Titan. A being born from the power of Fire and Destruction as willed by the Goddess of Chaos. He represented the personification of a Calamity. His appearance had nothing human.

A dark rock-like skin from which lava seemed to flow made up most of his body. As if he was the very incarnation of an erupting volcano.

Even then, Surtr knew that his chance of winning against Tiamat alone was rather small.

“Tiamat. I will ask you again, why don’t you join our side? As the Dragon of Chaos, you will fit nicely in our midst.”

Despite being in the void of space, his voice was rumbling.

All Chaos Beasts had very high magic resistance and all dragons were immune to one specific element. Meanwhile, as a Chaos Dragon, Tiamat was immune to all pure magical attacks.

Why did Tiamat have the title of Chaos Dragon?

For some, it was simply a joke of a goddess Superbia, made because of the similarity between the passive skill of Dragons and Chaos Beasts.

But...As one of the oldest beings, Surtr knew that the truth couldn’t be so sinmple.

The goddesses might be childish but even children never gave names without meaning. In fact, it was because they were children that they wished to give even more impressive and full of meaning to their toys.

This was no coincidence.

Tiamat was unperturbed, and she scoffed, “Even though I hate them, I like the world as it is. Between two evils, I choose the lesser one.”

Tiamat did not care about her origin nor did she feel any sort of shame. After all, she cared not for Order or Chaos.

She didn’t know if she was really related to Chaos but even if she was, it wouldn’t change anything for her at all.

In her mind, Chaos and Order were simply the same. But at least, the world under Order was more pleasing to live in.

She had no plan to live in a disgusting world where she would fight eternally with no rest.

“Is that so? Then, it’s a shame.”

Surtr wasn’t disappointed. In fact, if Tiamat really accepted this, would that have disappointed him?

Light shone and his humongous slowly began to shrink. From the gigantic body, he transformed into a warrior that was about 6 meters tall.

It was a far cry from his previous form, but Tiamat knew that this was his most dangerous battle form.

After all, at their level, a huge body was simply a waste of energy. Meanwhile, in a smaller form, they could condense all their strength more easily.

In this form, the black rock-like body of Surtr changed to a deep red, and the lava that was openly coursing his body changed into pure fire. Even his hair was entirely made out of the fire. In his hand was a beautiful sword that seemed to be just out of a furnace.

If Surtr were to land on a planet that wasn’t under the protection of a demigod in his current appearance, then it would only take a few minutes for all the water in the atmosphere of that planet to evaporate and slowly change into a sea of fire.

This was also why Tiamat had made it so the War form of Dragon King was developed. While the bodies of dragons were naturally powerful, they were also limited.

The frown of Tiamat grew deeper. She remembered something Skuld told her. Something about her hunting down Sol when he became a dangerous existence.

Back then, she had dismissed this as she was sure that she has broken all the restrictions the goddesses had put on her body when they created her.

She hadn’t decided to train back from the beginning and discard the King's name and Duke power the goddesses had given to her just for fun.

But, what if it wasn’t the case?

What if...?

Looking at the silent Tiamat, Nihil continued to speak.

“Tiamat, the only way to obtain true freedom is to join Chaos. Be it Ymir or the others, they care not about controlling or limiting us. The principle of the Mother Goddess is unlimited evolution. There would be no need to restrain your growth and you could even realize your dream and become a true goddess.”

This was another tactic they had come out with.

Secrets should always be revealed at the most appropriate moment.

Beating Tiamat was extremely hard. But at their level, mana and technique were not as important as the power of their will.

Only a powerful will could use effectively the power of the world.

If they managed to shake Tiamat’s will, even if nothing else changed, she would be much weaker than normal.

It would be even better if she really accepted

“Sigh...What a beautiful drama I encountered. Though... That thing about controlling divine beasts is intriguing me. I hope my little wife isn’t under control.”

Be it Nihil or Surtr, all of their expressions changed when they heard the voice that sounded in the void before a man walked out and appeared near Tiamat.

Nihil’s face which was full of confidence a few moments ago even paled a little as she nearly took a step back.

“You are finally here.”

The hesitation that was on Tiamat’s face vanished like a lie.

Nihil immediately understood that Tiamat had never been shaken by her words, she was simply stalling for time until that accursed being appeared.

Indeed, while Tiamat was surprised by Nihil’s words, she would never lose control because of this.

But she didn’t want to fight 12 demigods alone. After all, she was also keeping control of her territory currently to avoid someone sneaking into it while she was absent.

But now that Anubis was here... Tiamat grinned.

“You take half?”

Anubis was stunned, before he exploded with laughter, “No problem, I will also take care of that fugitive on the way.”

It was as if fighting 6 demigods was no big deal.

Tiamat shrugged as she faced Surtr again who couldn’t help but sigh.

Even though the current situation was two against twelve, he knew that even if they won, this would be at the cost of the life of a few demigods.

Since all negotiations broke down, it was now time to fight to the death.
