Red dragon: in charge of natural disasters

"Carry it to the top of the altar!"

"Hey! Hey!"

Accompanied by heavy breathing, eight strong ogres appeared at the end of the road, struggling to carry a huge, heavy metal box.

They climbed up the stairs step by step to the top of the altar, worked together to open the box, and then knelt down.

Suddenly, a golden light burst out from the box, causing the crowd of onlookers to scream in surprise - they saw a crown made of pure gold lying there quietly, inlaid with various luxurious gems, in the sunshine. Shining brightly in the light.

That is the Supreme True Dragon Crown.

Suddenly, this question suddenly arose in the minds of the onlookers: According to tradition, the emperor needs someone else to crown him. Even Aragorn I, the "Sun King" of the Holy Fadland Empire, was crowned by the Archbishop of the Amaunata Church at the time. Perform the coronation.

And who here is qualified to crown Cassius, the "Ember Emperor"?

Thinking of the ruler's nickname of "Dragon Prince", people immediately thought of a familiar name, but did not dare to pronounce it easily.

At this time, a huge shadow appeared over Istalia, and an unimaginable pressure filled everyone's hearts, making them feel instinctive fear.

"O Gods"

"That is."

People raised their heads and looked up into the deep sky, only to find that nightmarish aggregates shrouded the earth.

It was a monster-like dragon body, with dark cloud-like dragon wings. Five necks and five heads were writhing and twisting on the dragon body. Those terrifying vertical pupils were focusing on Cassius.

This was just His projection on the main material plane, but it made everyone present tremble.

"It's Him!"

"Tiamat."

Someone shouted that name in fear.

The crowd was shocked again. They did not expect that Tiamat would favor the red dragon to such an extent that she would actually lower the projection herself.

"Your Majesty the Dragon Queen! He came in person!"

Christina looked up at the sky, looking extremely excited.

"Is it true that you are here?"

Cassius raised his head without hesitation, met the gaze directly, and thought in his heart.

He had long expected this situation to occur.

With Tiamat's character, once he is crowned, he will definitely appear as soon as possible. It seems to be giving Cassius "divine grace", but in fact it is to completely bind the empire to the chariot of the five-color dragon.

If he really allowed Tiamat to crown him, it would be equivalent to him taking sides and declaring war with the metal dragons and other good forces.

Thinking of this, Cassius bowed slightly and tightened his wings to show respect to the gods.

"Good day, Your Majesty the Dragon Queen."

"Cassius, you did a great job."

The five heads of the Dragon Queen grinned in unison, showing a chilling and ferocious smile.

"Good enough to receive my personal congratulations."

"If there were more outstanding children like you, why worry that the five-color dragon could not be revived, and why worry that the rule of the giant dragon could not reappear on the earth?"

"You're overly flattering."

Cassius replied without being humble or condescending.

He sighed secretly in his heart. In a few words, Tiamat once again described the Kingdom of Burning Ember, or rather the empire, as the common industry of the five colored dragons.

So he responded politely: "My country cannot compare with your great deeds."

As he spoke, Cassius once again distinguished the two concepts.

The phantom of Tiamat in the sky showed no emotion or anger, but narrowed her eyes slightly: "Cassius, you need a formal and grand coronation ceremony."

"Such as being crowned by the hand of a god."

Cassius did not respond immediately to this seemingly tempting proposal. He just nodded slightly and lowered his head in thought.

In fact, he was waiting for a special guest to arrive.

The cold north wind howled suddenly.

Tiamat's expression suddenly changed.

When everyone raised their heads again, they saw a blue light flashing on the horizon like the midsummer sky, and the slender and winding shadow of the platinum dragon also appeared in the sky.

"This is."

"Is it His Majesty Bahamut?"

The silver dragons Olivia and Cruzelle in the venue all exclaimed, feeling excited.

Olivia was particularly excited. She had even imagined what Cassius would look like after he corrected his evil ways and believed in Bahamut.

The expressions of the blue dragons became particularly exciting.

The onlookers were dumbfounded and even a little numb. They never expected that the legendary "Five Color Dragon Queen" and "Platinum Dragon King" would appear at the ceremony at the same time.

But people from all over Fianso also deeply feel the importance of this dragon.

"Good day, Your Majesty Bahamut."

Evil dragons often respect Bahamut's wisdom and strength, and Cassius is no exception.

Tiamat roared and cursed:

"Bahamut! Your Chosen One has been defeated by my descendants, how dare you appear here!"

Bahamut said calmly: "I will be happy for any dragon with potential, as long as they are willing to return from their own way."

"You're talking nonsense!"

Two magnificent divine powers clashed with each other in the air, causing violent fluctuations and making the sky turbulent for a while.

Cassius stared at the chaos in the sky without any panic.

A few months ago, when he was clearing the aura of Bahamut from the gem, he also sent a certain message to the other party - it was an invitation.

The other party also understood and came as promised. Maybe the platinum dragon king didn't really want to recruit Cassius, but just wanted to take the opportunity to disgust Tiamat - but it was enough.

The older and more powerful the dragons are, the more aware they are of the true nature of these dragon gods. The oldest dragons rarely obey their words.

Cassius does not want to become Tiamat's pawn, nor does he want to be completely under the control of the Dragon Queen. He also wants to repeatedly swing between various camps to gain the greatest benefits for his empire.

However, due to Cassius' past experience of defeating the silver dragon and Tiamat's deliberate guidance, more and more people on the mainland regard him as Tiamat's chosen one, or even his biological son.

He didn't want to see this happen.

In the past, when his strength was insufficient, Cassius might pull off Tiamat's tiger skin to intimidate his enemies.

But now, when he is strong enough, this identity will only bring him more enemies and trouble.

Not to mention a stingy god like Tiamat, who rarely bestows gifts, but instead uses believers as much as possible to achieve his own goals.

Clouds and mist rolled in the sky, and thunder and lightning exploded. Just the projection of the two gods brought unimaginable pressure.

The blue dragon and silver dragon in the venue were also tense, their muscles tense, ready to start fighting at any time.

And in this tense and chaotic atmosphere, Cassius spoke first and finally broke the deadlock.

"Being able to be crowned in front of the two majesties——"

He paused for a moment.

Under the attention of hundreds of thousands of people, the red dragon quickly walked to the metal box, stretched out his paws without hesitation, and quickly placed the crown on his head.

"It's such a great honor."

At this moment, Cassius's voice was particularly calm.

The momentum created by the two gods was enough to bring the Burning Ember Empire's reputation to its peak.

In fact, before this coronation ceremony, Cassius had already made up his mind: as the emperor of the new Ember Empire and the supreme ruler, he did not need anyone to crown him - not even a god. (End of chapter)
