Evil Dragon: The young dragon I picked up keeps planning on becoming an empress

Actual deities aren't so worthless—if a deity's true form descended, it's absolutely impossible that the Black Dragon would be able to obliterate a deity with a single punch.

He knew of God of Judgement Brude Donahue; he had even had dealings with the guy. That fellow's IQ, ability to argue cunningly, and strength were all formidable, and his luck wasn't bad either; he'd managed to evade several encirclements and hunts by the Radiant Divine Court.

He wasn't captured by the Radiant Divine Court—had he been caught before becoming a deity, he would have probably been labeled a heretic.

In fact, one reason the Radiant Divine Court couldn't capture him smoothly was because the War God recognized him. Once he received recognition from the War God, calling him a heretic wouldn't be appropriate anymore.

Moreover, at that time, the divine personnel within the Radiant Divine Court who worshipped the War God gradually started siding with Brude Donahue, giving him the chance to challenge the authority of the Radiant Divine Court.

Divine personnel who worshipped the War God were tough fighters. In such circumstances, it was very difficult for the Radiant Divine Court to capture Brude Donahue.

Not to mention that Brude Donahue wasn't an ordinary person—he was a successor to a kingdom's throne.

At that time, so many powerful divine personnel from the Radiant Divine Court couldn't defeat or capture that guy. After becoming a deity, it was even less likely he would be casually obliterated by the Black Dragon with a single punch.

He must have pulled his punches.

Sophia said... Brude Donahue might know the Black Dragon, and aside from Brude Donahue knowing the Black Dragon, it seems the Valkyrie also knows him and is on good terms with the Black Dragon.

If it weren't for what Sophia said, he would never believe a Black Dragon wandering in the Human World would have any intersection with the Valkyrie or Brude Donahue.

Having defeated Hammond who held the Book of Wisdom, Sophia, Austin, and Erinna, he felt the Black Dragon's strength should be no less than that of Lord Viscount Saint Blue.

Qualified to be wildly arrogant.

However... the might of a Holy Giant Dragon far exceeded his imagination.

The powers at the disposal of a Holy Giant Dragon are beyond ordinary Giant Dragons' imagination.

Bang—

Lance raised a Dragon Finger, blocking the descending Dragon Claw of Sacred Golden Giant Dragon Constantine. He had reached adulthood, he was no longer a young dragon, and Constantine didn't have the right to chastise him in the manner of an elder—at least, not for now.

He had never enjoyed the care of elders from Dragon Island; naturally, those so-called elders on Dragon Island didn't have the right to discipline him.

???

A Dragon Claw halted by the Black Dragon's single Dragon Finger, Constantine grinned, finding this very Black Dragon-like.

His impression of the Black Dragon was exactly this: arrogant yet weak, even vying for a bad reputation.

In the Human World, the most ferocious Evil Dragon is the Red Dragon.

Some Black Dragons, aware of this, would proactively provoke the Red Dragons that appeared in the Human World and attack them.

The outcome well... Black Dragons who can beat Red Dragons are almost nonexistent.

Black Dragons not only provoke Red Dragons but also Thunder Giant Dragons, Golden Giant Dragons, Silver Dragons—any Dragon Clan ranked above Black Dragons would be challenged upon encounter.

"You don't have a shred of awe for me as a Holy Golden Giant Dragon, much like that human from Saint Blue. You must know my purpose for coming here: to meet you, to assess your strength, and to see whether you are a Pureblood Black Dragon. Austin and Erinna both say you are a Pureblood Black Dragon, but I've never seen a Pureblood Black Dragon like you before—a Pureblood Black Dragon with a body larger than even a Red Dragon—it's my first time encountering one."

"Whether or not I'm a Pureblood Black Dragon isn't important to you Dragon Island Giants. I have no intention of settling on Dragon Island, I simply wish to see it," Lance retorted.

"You don't just want to see Dragon Island. You also want to see whether the Dragon Cub you're raising can sweep over all the Young Dragons on Dragon Island, right?"

The nearby Young Dragon stiffened suddenly. Only an Evil Dragon would think that way; he merely wanted her to happily interact with the Young Dragons on Dragon Island, without any intent for her to dominate.

What he had said to the Golden Giant Dragon Austin was just to tease him and Dragon Island.

"No, incorrect. My Dragon Cub's dream is to become an Emperor."

Lance grinned, petting the Young Dragon's head, then continued, "She wants to be an Emperor, and I can't allow her to wreak havoc in the Human World, so... I might as well let her try to be the Emperor of all Young Dragons on Dragon Island. To have all the Young Dragons on Dragon Island call her 'Your Majesty.'"

"...."

Her dream was to become an Emperor, but she didn't want to be the Emperor of all Young Dragons on Dragon Island, she only wanted to be the Emperor of the Phalan Empire.

The Evil Dragon was shifting the goalposts!

Damn it, if an Evil Dragon's words spread on Dragon Island, and the Young Dragons knew, they would mock her upon meeting her.

"Are you the one who wishes to be Emperor? Want us Young Dragons to call you Your Majesty? Fine, come on, let's see if you have what it takes to be our 'Your Majesty.'"

A bunch of larger Young Dragons would pin her down and pummel her.

The gaze of the Sacred Golden Giant Dragon Constantine fell upon the Young Dragon. This little one didn't look special but harbored no small ambition, dreaming of being an Emperor...

If she possessed the strength of a Black Dragon, then perhaps she really could become the Emperor of all Young Dragons on Dragon Island.

Unfortunately, from the looks of it, the Young Dragon's strength didn't seem so formidable; he thought that even the offspring from the Melbourne Family of the Bronze Giant Dragon Clan could defeat this little one from the Black Dragon Family.

It's great to have dreams, and even better if they become reality.

However, the dream of this Black Dragon Family's Dragon Cub, he feared, might never come true.

As for the Black Dragon himself... if he wished to be the Emperor of Dragon Island, perhaps there might be a slim chance.
