I was a lord farming, how did I become an emperor?

……

……

"That old woman was definitely up to something!"

Gunle spat, showing no fear, and pointed his blood-red battle axe directly at the ghost face.
"Get down here!"

"What comes next is beyond your capabilities."

Rod waved his hand, stopping Gunle from doing so.

At this moment, Lucien and the others rushed over, their faces grave.

"His Majesty!"

"Wizards, prepare to move," Rhodes commanded in a deep voice.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Luxem and Linda exchanged a glance and nodded.

"A magic array!"

Luxen gave the order.

More than thirty wizards stepped forward at the same time and formed a circular formation.

At the same time, he quickly took off his robe, revealing the animal skin undergarment underneath.

The animal hide was covered with densely packed runes.

Azure, silver, red, and so on, arranged in order.

"Holy crap, what is this?!"

Gunle's eyes widened.

"Runes are sewn onto the body, turning oneself into a node of a magic circle, forming a mobile magic circle..."

Kyle stared in astonishment at everything. "This idea is simply genius!"

Gunle didn't understand what this meant, but it was definitely not simple that could surprise Kyle so much!
Just as everyone was in shock, a short figure draped in a black robe walked to the center of the wizarding community and took off his hat.

The youthful face and familiar scent shocked Kyle even more.

"Salia!"

Kyle never expected that the little girl with pure holy light would also be mixed up in the wizarding order!
How come I didn't notice it before?
The wizarding group acted swiftly, and before anyone could recover from their shock, the light of magic had already shone through.

Salia closed her eyes and crossed her arms in front of her chest.

More than forty wizards chanted simultaneously, and various lights emerged, intertwining in the air to form intricate magic circle patterns!
The magic circle slowly rotated, and the rotation became faster and faster, eventually converging on Salia at the center!

The light converged and merged on her body, eventually transforming into a holy light that was a blend of milky white and gold!
Pure, warm, sacred!

"Holy Light - Judgment!"

Salia opened her eyes and thrust her hands forward with a sudden burst of energy!
A dazzling beam of light burst forth from her chest, piercing through the black mist in an instant!
"boom!"

The blood-red demon face was instantly torn apart!

"what!"

A scream erupted!
"It works!"

Luxem shouted excitedly.

The soldiers around them were beaming with joy, their eyes burning as they looked at the wizarding group!

"Well done, Lucien, you're not bad!"

Gunle shouted excitedly!
"Keep going, don't stop."

Rhodes commanded in a deep voice, "Until all the black mist is dispelled."

"enough!"

Carly's voice came from the thick fog, and the entire city began to shake violently!
Upon hearing this, the wizarding corps chanted even louder.

Sweating beaded on Salia's forehead, but she gritted her teeth and continued to maintain the beam of light.

Holy light tore open cracks in the black mist, purifying the twisted, evil energy bit by bit.

"enough!"

Carly's voice came from the depths of the fog, filled with anger.

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire city began to shake violently.

The ground beneath our feet shook violently, and even the city walls began to loosen.

Everyone lost their balance and reached out to hold onto the wall or their companions.

Gunle also stumbled and almost fell.

The wizarding group's formation also became chaotic, several wizards nearly fell, and the light of the magic circle dimmed slightly.

In that instant, the black mist surged again, condensing into a giant bone hand, which slammed down on the pillar of light!

Each impact produced a deafening roar!
The earthquakes in the royal city are becoming increasingly violent!

The wizards lost control of their bodies, and the light of the holy light began to weaken!
Salia's face turned bright red, and her whole body trembled violently!
The constant strain left the wizards pale-faced, and they collapsed to the ground one after another!
Damn it!

Lucien gritted his teeth, "Quick, help! Throw the magic potion into their mouths!"

"You've done a great job by holding on this long,"

Rhodes' voice rang out, "Leave the rest to me."

Training wizard apprentices is no easy task, and Rhodes doesn't want these people to perish here.

As soon as he finished speaking, crimson flames exploded from Rhode's body!

The blinding light made everyone instinctively cover their eyes!
When I opened my eyes again, a huge, dark red dragon claw descended, wreathed in flames!

"Whoa, whoa, whoa..."

As a heavy, rhythmic gust of wind arose, a massive shadow appeared before them, obscuring the blood-red, ghostly face of the black mist.

Without any further ado, Rhodes opened his enormous maw, ready to devour everything in his path.

Crimson flames spewed from its mouth, heading straight for the ghostly face in the air!

Black Rock, Thunder, Frost, and many other giant dragons flapped their wings and took to the sky!

At the same time, it opened its dragon mouth towards the sky, and dozens of dragon breaths shot straight into the clouds and surged into the black mist!
"what--!"

Carly's screams were sharp and piercing, echoing through the black mist!

The black mist was torn apart, and the blood-red ghost face twisted and deformed in the dragon's breath!
"Your Majesty is mighty!"

Gunle knelt on one knee, his battle axe resting on the ground, looking up at the dragon in the sky with fervent eyes.

"This is Your Majesty's true power..."

Chris knelt down, his hands clenched into fists.

"Long live the Emperor!"

"Long live the Emperor!"

……

All the soldiers knelt down and shouted in unison.

Cheers resounded across the battlefield!
Just then, the screams from within the black mist abruptly stopped!

"Hahaha!"

Carly's laughter came from the black mist.
"Rhodes, do you think you've won?"

"You think I don't know you can transform into a dragon?"

"You greatly underestimate me, an ancient god!"

As soon as he finished speaking, countless blood-red threads surged out from the black mist, condensing into chains that rushed straight towards Rhodes!
Dragonfire immediately changed direction and spewed towards the chains!

However, the chains were completely indestructible, as if immune to dragon's breath!
The crimson chains moved with incredible speed, binding Rhodes' body in the blink of an eye!

Rhodes struggled desperately, but the dragon claws grabbed the chains and pulled hard!
But the chains could not be moved at all!
Moreover, the chains tightened more and more, digging into the scales and into the flesh.

Rhodes felt short of breath; the dragon's power was completely sealed!
Frost and Thunder Dragons were also bound by chains and unable to move an inch!

"His Majesty!"

Gunle was the first to react, gripping his blood-red battle axe tightly and roaring at the sky.

"Everyone, attack that black mist! Save His Majesty!"

"kill!"

Thousands of soldiers inside the royal city roared in unison, unleashing a barrage of spears and arrows at the black mist in the sky!

However, the next second, everyone was stunned!

The arrows and spears vanished the moment they touched the black mist, as if they had been swallowed up by a mud ox entering the sea!
"This...how is this possible?!"

Gunle stared wide-eyed at what he was seeing in disbelief.

"Keep going! Don't stop!"

Kyle shouted loudly, and swung his longsword out, sending a silver-white sword aura soaring into the sky!
The sword energy, accompanied by a shrill whistling sound as it tore through the air, slashed fiercely at the black mist!
However, the result remained the same!

The sword energy stirred up a ripple on the surface of the black mist, and then completely disappeared without a trace!
Damn it!

Kyle gritted his teeth and unleashed several sword strikes in succession, each imbued with the power of holy light!

But the black mist remained completely still, as if mocking their ignorance and weakness!
"The Wizarding Order!"

Lusen roared and struggled to his feet.

The magic potion had restored some of the wizards' strength, and although their faces were still pale, they managed to stand up.

The magic circle coalesced once more, and holy light converged into a torrent that shot straight into the sky!

"Boom!"

A massive explosion resounded throughout the royal city!

Mist sprayed everywhere, and light filled the entire sky!
Gunle and Kyle looked at the area with hope, anticipating the sight of the black mist being torn apart!
However, when the smoke cleared, a blood-red barrier stretched across the sky, blocking everything!
The black fog continued to churn, even thicker than before!

"Hahaha!"

"Ants are just ants!"

Carly's voice came from the black mist, full of contempt and mockery.

"Your attacks cannot even budge my magic array!"

"Watch your emperor struggle before me!"

In the black mist, Rhodes was bound by chains tighter and tighter, and cracks began to appear on his dragon scales, with blood seeping out from the gaps in the scales!
"His Majesty!"

Linda covered her mouth, her eyes instantly reddening.

Luxen clenched his fist, his nails digging deep into his palm, and blood was already seeping out!

They tried their best, but couldn't offer even the slightest help!

This feeling of powerlessness was suffocating for everyone!
Kyle slumped down and put down his longsword, looking at Rhodes, who was bound in the sky, his eyes filled with despair.

"This is the power of the gods... We are completely unable to reach it."

"We...can't do anything."

The wizard apprentices stopped chanting, their faces ashen.

They had exhausted all their magic, yet they couldn't even reach the edge of the black mist!

This gap cannot be bridged by quantity!

This is an insurmountable chasm between mortals and gods!
"This is an ancient magic array used to deal with dragons. My servants have made some modifications."

The black mist swirled rapidly in the air, and a figure slowly emerged in the center.

Pale complexion, effeminate features, blood-red eyes.

She was wearing a jet-black dress embroidered with dark red patterns.

His bare feet hovered in mid-air, and his long black hair fluttered behind his head, making him look exactly like a demon.

It is none other than the undead and vengeful goddess, Kali!

Carly slowly descended, hovering above Rhodes.

"This magic array is specifically designed to target dragon bloodlines and completely suppresses the power of the dragon race."

Carly smiled coldly as she looked down at Rhodes, "You think you can challenge the gods with just a little dragon blood?"

"Naive ants."

"Rhodes, do you know how long I've been waiting for this moment?"

“I have been watching you from the moment you stepped into the land of corruption.”

"I know every one of your secrets."

"You think you can defeat me just by transforming?"

"ridiculous."

Carly raised her right hand and gently stroked the red dragon's scales.

"What beautiful scales."

"What a strong body."

"I never expected to see such a beautiful red dragon nowadays."

Carly's voice was soft and feminine as she traced the scales of Rhodes with her fingers, as if admiring a work of art.

"Don't worry, now you're mine."

Carly made no attempt to hide her greed, circling Rhodes' body and admiring it closely.
"I will take good care of you." "I will refine you into a frost bone dragon, ride you to tour your empire, and turn everyone into undead servants!"

Every day, every moment.

"However, I need to take care of important business first."

Carly shifted her gaze to the soldiers of the royal city.

"Thank you, Rhodes, for giving me such a fine legion."

"Now, offer your lives to your goddess!"

As soon as the words were spoken, black mist rose from the royal city and quickly enveloped all the soldiers!
The soldiers tried to dodge but there was nothing they could do; even Gunther and Kyle were not spared!
Everyone knelt down uncontrollably, emitting painful cries!
The next instant, streaks of blood rose from their bodies!

"Damn it! She's sucking our lives away!"

Gunle roared in anger, but it was no use!
His face turned pale instantly, and his skin shrank visibly at a rapid pace!

The same goes for Kyle, Luxen, and Linda!

The body is completely out of control, let alone able to resist!

"Hahaha!"

Carly's laughter was sharp and piercing.
"You ants!"

"This is what happens when you defy the gods!"

"In this cage, everything you have will belong to me..."

"pity."

Rhodes suddenly spoke, interrupting Carly.

Carly turned her head and looked at Rhodes with a puzzled expression.

"What's a pity?"

“Another piece of land in the empire is about to wither away like a rotten land.” Rhodes shook his head helplessly.

"Ok?"

Carly frowned, staring at Rhodes with a puzzled look. "Are you still going to struggle?"

She didn't understand what Rhodes had left to fight against her.

"struggle?"

Rhodes grinned, his golden vertical pupils filled with laughter.

"To be precise, you are not the first god I have killed."

"And it won't be the last one."

The words fell.

The situation changed drastically!

The Western Alliance Mountains trembled, trees withered, and green leaves turned to ashes!

Birds startled from the forest took flight, but plummeted straight down to the ground as soon as they took to the sky, their feathers falling and their flesh turning to ashes and dissipating!

The river has dried up, the riverbed has cracked, fish and shrimp are floating belly-up, and the water has been absorbed by the earth!

All of nature transformed into countless green lights!

They converged from all directions, like green rivers, surging towards the Cape Royal City!

……

……

Outside Yanlong City, in the Empire.

Beside the rolling rice paddies, Avril was bending down to stroke the rice ears.

"Your Highness, look!"

Avril exclaimed in surprise as her maidservant exclaimed, and she quickly looked up!
The distant mountains and forests faded rapidly, like an oil painting painted over many years, their emerald green turning into specks of fluorescent light that converged towards the west!

"This is!"

Avril stood there, stunned!
She had seen this scene before!
This was the scene when Rhodes slaughtered that white dragon in the Icefield Mountains!
Today's scene is even more shocking than that day!
"His Majesty……"

Avril looked westward, her hand unconsciously gripping the hem of her skirt.

……

……

At the same time, in the land of the gods.

On the mountain peak, a temple tens of meters high stands tall.

Atop a mountain shrouded in mist, a majestic temple stands.

The temple was entirely golden, with its dome inlaid with countless star-like gems.

In the center of the main hall, a huge statue of a god stands majestically.

The statue is about 15 meters tall, entirely golden, with golden wings on its back.

His face was blurry, but his sapphire eyes were exceptionally clear and deep, so much so that one could not look directly at them.

One hand holds up an open book, and the other hand holds a crystal ball.

In front of the statue is a golden throne.

A young man dressed in a white robe was sitting on it.

As if sensing something, the man opened his eyes.

With a puzzled look on his face, he slowly stood up, walked to the edge of the temple, and gazed eastward.

"Such a huge energy fluctuation, is it the goddess of the dead, Kali?"

The man's voice was calm.
"It seems it's time for me to make my move."

The man turned to look at the statue behind him.
"This world should not have only one god."

……

……

The sky above Cape Royal City was dyed emerald green!
Countless green lights surged into Rhodes' body!

The dark red faded, and emerald green spread!
His body swelled up dramatically!

Thirty meters!
Fifty meters!
"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

The chains binding Rhodes snapped instantly!
Meanwhile, Rhodes' body was still growing rapidly!
Eighty meters!
One hundred meters!

Two hundred meters!
Until it became a huge shadow, obscuring the entire royal city!
Then, Rod gently flapped his wings, and a turquoise hurricane swept by!

The black fog in the sky began to dissipate, and all the blood-red threads disappeared!
The blinding sunlight pierced through the clouds and shone down on the royal city!
"Oh my god!"

Everyone stared at the enormous figure in the sky, speechless.

The only thing they could do was to crawl on their knees and worship.

"impossible!"

Carly involuntarily stepped back, staring at everything in disbelief.
"How do you possess such immense power!"

"You're not a dragon! What are you?!"

Carly couldn't understand how a human could possess such immense power!

This doesn't make sense!

It doesn't even conform to God's common sense!
Carly's mind is completely in disarray.

But as a deity, she reacted quickly.

Sensing that the aura emanating from Rhodes was beyond her ability to handle, she flashed away, instantly creating distance between herself and Rhodes!

Now, all she can do is run away!
Just as she was about to continue, emerald green vines suddenly appeared beside her, completely binding her limbs!

Rhodes' figure slowly rose into the air, looking down at her.

His emerald-green vertical pupils showed neither anger nor excitement.

Only peace.

Like the tranquility of nature.

"You stole the power of this world; it's time to give it back."

Rhodes' deep voice echoed over the royal city.

The next second, a phantom image of a green dragon claw appeared in the sky.

Carly's face turned deathly pale.

"What kind of power is this?!"

"You are not a god! How could you possibly have such power?!"

Before Carly could even be shocked, the phantom of the dragon claw slowly grasped her.

Carly struggled desperately, but to no avail.

Her divine power was like child's play in the face of the emerald green dragon claws.

"No! Let me go!!"

You can't kill me!

Carly's screams echoed throughout the battlefield.
"You'll regret killing me..."

The dragon claws did not stop because of Carly's voice, but continued to tighten.

Carly's body contorted rapidly, her pale face twisted and contorted!
In fact, Carly no longer has a physical form, and she could easily escape if it were an ordinary dragon claw.

However, Rhodes's dragon claw is also a simple energy entity.

Therefore, Carly was not subjected to physical compression, but rather to energy compression.

It directly targets her soul and essence.

As the dragon claws tightened, cracks appeared on her body, and the crimson light began to flicker erratically.

"Do not--!!!"

"boom--!"

A piercing sound rang out, and a crimson light burst forth in the air!

"Carly is dead?"

Gunle stared blankly at the blood mist in the sky. "Carly is dead!"

Kyle let out a long sigh and nodded.

"Even gods are nothing more than this."

"what!"

"His Majesty has slain a god!"

"Your Majesty has surpassed the gods!"

"what!!!"

Cheers surged like waves throughout the royal city!
"boom!"

Just then, a loud bang came from the center of the royal city!

The cheers abruptly stopped!

Before anyone could react, the ground shook violently!
"Again?!"

Gunle stumbled and almost fell.

"What's going on?"

"Is that old woman not dead?"

Kyle frowned, not answering Gunle's question, and looked towards the center of the royal city with a furrowed brow.

The earthquake intensified, and a mournful cry emanated from the royal palace in the capital!
"Boom!"

A tremendous roar echoed throughout the royal city, and before everyone's eyes, the royal palace collapsed!

Then it disappeared!

"what happened?"

"what happens?"

……

Just when everyone was at a loss, a chilling wave swept out from the ruins of the palace!

Wherever the blast wave reached, it was covered with a layer of dark purple moss!
"This is?!"

Rhodes's expression changed drastically, and he suddenly raised his dragon claw!

A verdant barrier blocked the shockwave!

To Rhodes's astonishment, the shockwave made a hissing sound when it hit the barrier!
It's like the natural forces that are corroding themselves!
Before Rhodes could react, a dark, deep pit appeared on the site of the old palace!
A chaotic and frenzied aura erupted from the deep pit!

That is a being far more evil and ancient than Kali!

"damn it!"

Rhodes couldn't help but curse.
"What the hell did Carly do?!" (End of Chapter)
