Golden Dragon: Six Thousand Years of Empire.

Chapter 533 The Last Queen, the Undead Army

"what did you do to me?"

When Amber realized that her body had unknowingly changed into a completely unfamiliar appearance, she felt angry and panicked.

"I didn't do anything to you. Everything was your own choice, wasn't it?"

Parvati quietly looked at the somewhat hysterical queen in front of her.

"This was my own choice? You mean I chose to become a monster?"

Amber was actually amused by the blasphemer in front of her.

"Of course, if you don't want to, no one can force you."

"Didn't you put me under house arrest here? If it wasn't for your request, why would I stay here all the time? How could I become a monster?"

As she spoke, Amber pulled out a dagger from her bosom and slashed her wrist fiercely. When the bright red blood just flowed out, dense wood strands were seen extending and intertwining rapidly at the gap. Instantly, the wound healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

After seeing this scene, Amber, the newly appointed Elf Queen, who was essentially a young girl without her queen's clothes, suddenly broke down. She couldn't accept it.

Because such a scenario is exactly the same as the taboo description passed down by the gods, the elves corrupted by the dragon tree will turn into immortal monsters, lose their self, and become another creature.

In the end, the only thing left alive in the world was an undead monster that had inherited her appearance and identity, and was no longer herself from the inside out.

How could such a result be accepted? The gods had made such evil things taboo and prohibited them from being planted in the material world, and Amber thought it was right.

But now, the Grand Archon of the Royal Court not only openly planted such a demonic tree in his own private garden, but also brazenly displayed this blasphemous object in front of the priests who served the gods, the Royal Court Council and the royal family.

These people clearly knew how terrible the magic tree was and the harm it could cause, but they turned a blind eye to it. Intimidated by the power of the Great Ruler, no elf dared to tell the truth, let alone oppose.

Now, she, the queen, had become the first elf to be harmed by the magic tree. When she thought about her body being filled with creeping wood whiskers, and that she would become an undead monster that had lost its self in the future, Amber burst into tears with sadness.

"Woooooo~"

Seeing the crying queen, Parvati, whose face was as cold as a glacier that had not melted for billions of years, couldn't help but change color, but was surprised and amused, because such a change was indeed beyond her expectations.

"why are you crying?"

"Wow~ I don't want to turn into a monster!"

"Who told you you are a monster? This is just a special blessing. If you don't want to, you can choose to give it up at any time."

"Can you give up?"

The girl's crying stopped abruptly, and her pretty face with tears in her eyes raised up, staring straight at Parvati.

"Of course. Since it can be given, it can also be taken back."

Seeing the silver-haired girl in front of her, Parvati only found it interesting.

"But are you sure you want to give up this power? With this power, most attacks from the secular world will not be able to cause fatal damage to you."

“Can you really give up at any time?”

Thinking of the various descriptions about taboos, the girl, who hated and rejected becoming a monster, began to hesitate when she thought of the various conveniences that turning into a monster would bring.

"Of course, you can treat it as a special wearable equipment, understand?"

"A piece of equipment?"

Hearing Parvati's description, Amber was stunned and her heart beat faster. She seemed to understand why the gods regarded such a dragon tree as a taboo.

Not to mention those elves of low bloodline, even she, as a high elf, was somewhat tempted by such power. Who would take off a piece of equipment that could save her life at any time?
"Isn't this what you need? I told you, no one is forcing you. This is your own need, so it will respond to you."

Parvati pointed at the red-eyed blue dragon coiled among the treetops. The little dragon was watching everything quietly.

"But I don't want to become an undead monster that has lost itself."

"Who told you that you are an undead monster who has lost your identity?"

Parvati sneered with disdain.
"The information coming out of the temple? You can believe some of the descriptions, but some parts are completely exaggerated and deliberately created to create panic. Those guys are afraid that you will get this power."

"Scared? How is that possible?"

Amber felt that what the great ruler said was too absurd. How could the gods be afraid of creatures in the mortal world?

"What do you mean by losing yourself? Have you ever tried to understand it?"

"It is said that one will lose all memories and no longer have self-awareness, and will become a completely new creature."

"It's ridiculous, let me tell you the truth. After you received this power, your head suffered a fatal injury, and your brain lost its memory after regeneration.

Because of the lack of memory and personality, cognition will naturally change to a certain extent, but in fact, the body is still the original body, and the soul will not change from beginning to end. "

"Just amnesia?"

"What else do you think it could be? Do you think that after accepting this power, it will quietly tamper with your cognition and erase your memory?
Don't you think it's ridiculous? This is a tree species created by my great-uncle to target demons and transform the abyss. It was never created to target any race or creature in the material world. The reason why it can grant power is just a derivative. "

"You finally admitted that this is the creation of His Majesty, and it is a taboo of the gods."

After hearing what Parvati said, the girl's expression suddenly became excited, as if she had won a great victory. However, facing the excited girl, Parvati mercilessly gave her a fatal blow.

"You admit it, but so what? What do you think you can do?"

"..."

The girl's face, which had just shown an expression of joy and excitement, suddenly froze before the smile could fully bloom.

Yes, all the elves in the royal court, from the priests to the parliament, and then to the royal family she was born into, are supporting the person in front of them. Even if she admits it, what can she do?
"Whose territory is this?"

The majesty of the gods was gone, and Amber couldn't help but ask this question.

"Of course it's my great uncle, His Majesty Noah!"

Parvati spoke as a matter of course.

"Your Majesty Noah?! But this is clearly..."

"Do you know what the administrative name for the land under our feet is in the Holy Sun Palace?"

Parvati interrupted her mercilessly.

"What is it?" "The Autonomous Region of the Elven Cienfueron."

Those few casual words, like an indestructible sword, destroyed the little self-esteem and pride that the girl Amber had left in an instant.

"Elf Autonomous Region? When did this happen? How dare those fairies do this?"

"It's been a while, but too many elves are immersed in the glory and fantasy of the past and are unwilling to wake up. Those guys are also unwilling to announce such news."

"No, no, this is impossible. How could this happen?"

The Elf Queen Amber was as distraught as if struck by lightning. She originally thought that she was as pathetic as a puppet on the stage, manipulated by others and with only the empty title of queen. But now, it turns out that the Queen's crown was long gone and it was just a thing for the elves to entertain themselves.

"Parvati, you are the Grand Chancellor of the Royal Court, and you are elected by the Seven Gods. How can you tolerate such a thing?"

"But His Majesty Noah is my great uncle, and this is a world dominated by him. What reason do I have to object?"

"So, I'm not a queen at all?"

Queen Amber, who had been quiet, showed a strange expression of crying and laughing at the same time. Such truth was too cruel for her.

"In the autonomous region, you are still recognized by the elves."

Parvati consoled.

"But what if I leave here? Will those countries outside still recognize my crown?"

"There are no independent countries out there anymore, so your worries are unnecessary."

"No country anymore?"

"Yes, since the Royal Court has become an autonomous region divided by the Holy Sun Palace, other countries will naturally have to accept the arrangement."

Parvati said in a matter-of-fact tone.

Although the uncle did not make further conquests on the major forces of the world, when the uncle replaced the sun and became the eternal existence that ruled the world, the unification of the world began with an unstoppable momentum.

There is no need to resort to violence, just wait for time to evolve. Any order has its lifespan, and any country will naturally decay and collapse over a long period of time.

According to the original order of the continent, a new country will be established on the ruins of a corrupt and collapsed country, and the remaining nobles will have the opportunity to restore their country.

But under the radiance of the Holy Dragon Sun, any destroyed country will be taken over by the goblins, and this land will be placed under the Golden Order. No one will be able to rebuild or restore the country.

Therefore, with the passage of time, there are fewer and fewer independent countries in the Dragon Realm. To this day, the only force that can be considered independent is the Elven Royal Court. Of course, it is now the Autonomous Region of Sionferon.

"I understand."

"What do you unserstand?"

"So this is why you have the final say in the Royal Court, no, in the autonomous region. No wonder they are so obedient to you. Without you, we would have no chance of self-government, right?"

"That's about it. Those goblins are quite controlling. We are already the only autonomous region on the Zealandia continent."

"So your title of great ruler is not recognized by us, but was conferred by your great uncle, His Majesty Noah?"

"You have a pretty smart little brain. Originally they hoped I could coax you, but now it seems that's not necessary. You have a pretty good ability to adapt."

"They are truly hopeless idiots!"

Amber couldn't help but curse.

She originally thought that it was pathetic enough that she was a queen in name only. But now it seems that even the title of queen is a false bubble fabricated by a group of old antiques who are obsessed with old dreams and unwilling to wake up. In fact, she doesn't even have a name.

"I also think there are quite a few idiots among them, but the growth of elves is too slow, so I have no way to replace them for the time being."

The advantage of bloodline is unquestionable. No matter how much one hates the high elf bloodline, under the same amount of time, high elves are superior to low elves in terms of growth performance and potential.

"Is this why you planted the Dragon Tree? You want to use this forbidden tree to transform all the spirits?"

"How is that possible? You think too highly of it. How can it have such ability? It cannot support so many elves' demands. Only the elves who are willing and have its favor can receive its gifts."

"But we can indeed rely on it now to build an undead army?"

"us?"

Parvati looked at the girl in front of her, with amusement and exploration in her eyes.

"I think you are right. Elves should no longer indulge in past glory. We should go to the void and join His Majesty the Holy Dragon in his glorious expedition."

Amber's eyes were determined.

It's not that she can't understand the tribe's choice. After all, the world is under the control of a great being. Even if they want to maintain their independence, it's just a joke. Even with the support of the gods, it's useless. Within the world, the authority of both sides is not on the same level, so there is no possibility of confrontation.

"It seems that they all underestimated you. As a queen, you are indeed quite good."

"There is no queen anymore."

"No, as long as there is one more elf who acknowledges you, you will be the queen."

"If I want to establish a Dragon Sword Corps in the name of the Queen, will you support me?"

"At your service, my Lord."

Parvati leaned forward slightly with a smile, and when she straightened her waist, the look she gave the girl in front of her was completely different from before. She was no longer looking at an ignorant young girl, but looking at her with admiration, looking at a future rising star and the light of tomorrow of the tribe.

"We need more forbidden seeds. Just one is not enough."

"So what's your solution?"

Parvati just found it funny.

"Please, Your Excellency the Grand Archon, can you go to the Holy Sun Palace?"

"You want me to ask my uncle for it?"

"Will your uncle refuse you? Besides, we have no other choice. You just said that one tree is not enough. We need a forest."

"The material world is not suitable for growing dragon trees. This is a tree species that transforms the abyss and suppresses the emergence of demons."

"I think we can expand the Abyss Arena. All officials above the middle level in the royal court, as well as nobles who serve for life, need to have a winning streak in the arena, otherwise..."
