He became the White-Haired Evil God after wearing the Seven Curses Rings.

The Northern Empire.

Yu Yunsheng stared at the game announcement that popped up in front of her and fell into deep thought.

She had previously managed World Tree for cats for a period of time.

But soon, the seraphim who came to assist Thanatos learned all the management procedures and took over her work in managing the players and the World Tree.

Meanwhile, with the improvement of the Giant Beast Hunting Grounds, there's no need for the cat to worry about this anymore.

As a game streamer with the strongest player appeal, Maomao naturally returned to the Tian Shang Mountain area to coordinate the core region.

Of course, she did gain something.

During her time managing the World Tree, she passed all the World Tree Trials, obtained no fewer than five pieces of mythical-grade equipment, and also gained favor with the angels.

Furthermore, given that Elania still harbored deep resentment towards Sky Mountain, she ultimately chose to take Elania back to the Northern Empire.

Everything that happened during this period was still under her control, and there were no situations where she was helpless.

The game announcement appeared right in front of her, catching her completely off guard.

"I can't get in touch with my brother, and now this huge thing has happened. What are we going to do now...?"

Unlike other players who were cursing and complaining about the game announcements, Yu Yunsheng was very clear about the special nature of this game.

This is the real world, not a game made by some game company.

And becoming a god here can truly influence one's real-life self.

At this moment, Elania walked up from the side.

"Sister Taro Ball, are you alright? You seem to be in a bad mood..."

Hearing Elania's worries, Yu Yunsheng quickly turned around to comfort her.

"I'm fine, it's just that the sky outside suddenly turned gold, and it worried me a little..."

Before he could finish speaking, a haughty yet childish voice suddenly rang out from above.

"Hmph, are you scared? It's alright, the great Ice Dragon Queen will protect every one of her subjects. If you have any worries, feel free to rely on me!"

Yu Yunsheng looked up and saw that Azsarax was sitting on the dragon head wall decoration that protruded high up, with one hand on his chest, in a superior sitting posture.

Yu Yunsheng looked at her, unsure of what to say for a moment.

Since the Behemoth Hunting Grounds were put into operation and acquired many demigod players as henchmen, Azsarax has been given a long vacation.

Furthermore, with Brandon recently reducing his control over her, Azsharax has begun to gradually unleash her true nature and enjoy her noble status as the Emperor of the North.

Contrary to the stereotype of dragons.

Although Azsarax maintained an arrogant demeanor, as long as others flattered her and respectfully placed her in a high position, she would be easily appeased.

She would then show great compassion, providing support to her subordinates or taking photos with some players.

And a few other requirements that I don't quite understand, like having to step on something and shout...

"Cough cough..."

Yu Yunsheng coughed lightly.

"Your Majesty, wouldn't you like to look behind you...?"

Upon hearing this, Azsarax opened his eyes in confusion.

"Hmm? Is there something behind me?"

Suddenly, she seemed to sense that something was wrong.

Turning his head, he saw a man dressed in black and gold clothes floating outside the window, staring into the eyes of Azsarax, who was sitting high up.

"Hi...Brandon?"

……

One minute later.

Azsarax was pulled down from the height by Brandon, carried in his hand like a kitten that had made a mistake.

Just when she thought Brandon would scold her, he gently put her down.

"It's not safe outside lately, so stay inside the palace and don't wander around."

Upon hearing this, Azsarax immediately developed a rebellious attitude.

"What do you mean 'not very safe'? I am a powerful ice dragon, what could possibly threaten me! If others saw me, they would think I..."

Brandon glanced at her sideways.

"Uh... okay, then I won't be running around like this for a while."

Feeling the pressure, Azsarax lowered his head to one side.

Seeing that Azsarax was relatively safe, Brandon turned to look at Yu Yunsheng.

"I've been quite busy lately and may not be able to keep track of everything for you all. I'll have to trouble you to manage the Wheel of Fortune and keep an eye on Azsarax during this time."

After saying that, Brandon left.

Seeing him leave, Yu Yunsheng originally wanted to follow him to ask about the situation, but was stopped by Elania.

"Sister Potato, let's not go out around for a while. I feel really uneasy outside, just like Brother Brandon said."

As she spoke, Elania's small hand gripped the hem of Yu Yunsheng's clothes tightly.

Looking at Elania nestled in his arms, Yu Yunsheng subconsciously touched his head.

"It's okay, I'll always stay by your side."

No sooner had he finished speaking than an unfamiliar voice came from behind.

"This place doesn't seem as dangerous as I thought; it'll be easy..."

"Bang--!!!"

Azsarax threw a punch instantly, creating a powerful sonic boom.

"Click..."

Unexpectedly, not only was Azsarax not defeated, but he also firmly gripped her fist.

"Little girl, don't be so upset, okay? It'll make me sad."

Seeing that his attack was ineffective, Azsarax immediately retreated to a distance, creating some distance between himself and his opponent.

At this moment, Yu Yunsheng also realized what was happening and looked at the other person.

[Singer of Destiny lv.200]

A faceless woman dressed in a white and gold dress sat in mid-air, resting her face on her hand and observing them.

"Hmm... to be honest, I don't really want to fight. How about this, little girl named Elania, if you come with me, I'll give up the entire Northern Territory, withdraw my divine army, and spare your friends. What do you say?"

Just as Yu Yunsheng was about to retort to the threat from the Singer of Fate, he was suddenly stopped by Azsarax.

"Hmph, you bastard, as long as I'm here, you won't be able to hurt them."

Having said that, Azsarax's blue dragon scales gradually lit up as he stared intently at the Singer of Fate.

Despite Azsharax's obstruction, the Singer of Fate spoke indifferently.

"You? But your legs are shaking... Fine, since you're determined to be strong, I'll grant your wish."

As he spoke, the Singer of Fate stood up.

"Relax, I'll be very gentle, I promise there won't be any pain..."

"Bang!!!"

A figure suddenly appeared in the air and stomped the Singer of Destiny into the shattered floor.

"You? You dare to act so presumptuously here with just a vessel?"

Seeing this, Azsarax's eyes widened.

"Brandon? Didn't you leave?"

In response to Azsarax's question, Brandon replied calmly.

"Given your current abilities, it's hard for me to truly feel at ease."

With that, Brandon kicked the Singer of Fate against the wall and turned to look at the crowd.

"Don't worry, I will protect each and every one of you."

……

The Golden Age, the Royal Palace of Roland.

Brandon and Willow slumped together in the reception room, leaning against each other.

"Phew... Explaining to those Imperial Guards that I had nothing to do with that girl was exhausting. Thank goodness you helped me smooth things over."

As he spoke, Brandon sat up.

"By the way, Vero, do you know where Rheindorf went? I haven't seen him at all."

Upon hearing Brandon's question, Willow turned and lay on his side on the bench, crossing his legs as he spoke.

"Who knows? This isn't the first time that guy has gone missing. If this continues, I'm really worried he'll distance himself from us guys."

After that, the reception room fell silent.

After a while, Vero, who was lying on the bench, suddenly asked.

"By the way, Brandon, what will you do if the three of us really go our separate ways someday? With your social skills, you shouldn't lack friends, right?"

Brandon chuckled in response to Vero's question.

"How could that be? Even if you and Rheindorf have a bitter feud, I'll still force you to reconcile. No matter what, the three of us are always a unit, and we can't do without any one of us."

Hearing Brandon's reply, Willow laughed along.

"That might disappoint you. After all, I'm not as weak as you think. If it really comes down to a fight, I won't hold back."

"Heh, what are you saying? Well then, I'll ask you to go easy on me in advance."

"Pfft... Alright then, I'll give you three moves, and I'll even let you have a two-on-one fight against Rhein-Dortmund, how about that?"

In response to Willow's concession, Brandon kicked him in annoyance.

"You! You always say such discouraging things, you never say anything auspicious."

After that, the reception room fell silent again.

After a long silence, Vero spoke again.

"Speaking of which, where exactly is Rhein-Dörgården at this time...?"
