Goddess Kaleidoscope

Moreover, this guy was very cunning. He knew that his trick could only deal with ordinary experts, but as the main base of the Holy Light Cult, the City of the Sun had many super experts stationed there. So he waited for more than half a year and finally got a "golden opportunity" when these reclusive experts were not around.

The mischievous dragon skillfully infiltrated the Treasure Garden, first finding a ring that was already fully charged and putting it on, then putting its old ring, which was almost depleted of energy, into the spring.

Normally, after completing this step, Sanders would quickly make his escape to avoid being detected by the powerful figures residing in the City of the Sun.

But perhaps because his previous infiltrations had gone too smoothly, Sanders developed a strange sense of confidence. After finishing his business, he didn't immediately make a run for it, but instead leisurely toured the vault.

As a result, this visit turned into an accident.

The Holy Church of Light is a large and powerful organization, and its treasure trove on the Holy Mountain is naturally vast as well. This treasury functions like a museum, with a section open to the public. Any baptized member of the Holy Church of Light who donates one hundred gold coins to the church can enter for a tour, led by a monk, allowing ordinary people to have the opportunity to admire the brilliance of the divine artifacts up close.

Sanders wandered around the vault, initially knowing his limits and not intending to steal anything except the shapeshifting ring. But as he wandered around, he suddenly discovered something amazing—a bottle of divine wine!

The divine wine in the treasury of the Holy Light Church is not the addictive substance concocted by the Brotherhood of the Black Hand, but a truly literal wine brewed by the hands of a real god.

Sanders read the description and learned that it was a gift given to Carius more than a thousand years ago by a goddess whose name he would not like to reveal. Carius did not use it, but instead entrusted it to his sect for safekeeping.

Sanders was very curious about what this divine wine tasted like, and even more curious about whether he would get drunk after drinking it. Because dragons have a special constitution, ordinary alcohol has no effect on them. Even if they were given pure alcohol directly, they would still be able to drink a thousand cups without getting drunk. Therefore, dragons do not know what it feels like to be drunk.

So Sanders couldn't resist his curiosity and immediately opened the bottle and took a sip.

As it turned out, the real divine wine was indeed extraordinary. Sanders, who thought himself invincible, was "outdone" after just one sip and quickly entered a state of complete self-indulgence and madness.

In Sanders' own words, he felt like he wasn't himself anymore. He vaguely remembered seeing another version of himself, and he fought with him but couldn't win! So the other version of himself took control of his body and started acting crazy while drunk.

Sanders himself couldn't quite remember what he did in the vault during that time, but he was certain that he later left the vault and went to the main square of the holy city, where there was a giant statue.

Saunders, who was quite drunk, circled the statue in the square a few times. He thought that Karius's robe was too conservative, unlike the exhibitionist Fegley, the God of War, who was so unrestrained that even the orthodox statue only wore a pair of briefs.

So Sanders decided to "help" Lord Karius with a hotter new look, and then directly began to modify the more than fifty-meter-tall statue, which was not a difficult task for the dragon race.

The next morning, when the residents of the City of the Sun got up and prepared to pray to the giant statue in the center of the city as usual, the believers were surprised to find that the once solemn and majestic statue had inexplicably changed its appearance, showing off its eight-pack abs like the one from the God of War cult.

After this incident, the entire Sun City was shaken.

The believers initially thought it was a "miracle"—that Lord Carius had suddenly appeared and, with his beautiful and noble divine body, rewarded the female believers by allowing them to see such a magnificent sight first thing in the morning, and to be blessed with good fortune from morning till night!

The clergy of the sect were completely bewildered, especially the high-ranking members led by Pope Leonid. They had collectively gone to the Sanctuary of Carius to listen to the teachings of the gods, which was a routine event at the end of each year, and all the main leaders of the sect had to go.

In the end, this whole trip only took a day, but such a big thing happened back home, almost making the Pope faint on the spot.

Karius himself then noticed the anomaly.

As it turns out, even the highest gods wouldn't be watching every little thing happening in the mortal realm 24/7, especially since nothing so bizarre had ever happened before. Even though Karius had existed for thousands of years, this was the first time he'd ever seen anything like it, which made even the usually good-tempered Karius unusually angry.

So, in order to teach this little green dragon who was running rampant on his turf a lesson that was "unforgettable", Karius personally took action and unleashed a "divine punishment" tailor-made for Sanders.

With the power of the Holy Lord of Light, Karius, killing Sanders would be as easy as killing a chicken, but Karius did not do so.

Firstly, Carius was inherently benevolent, and the incredibly brutal war of the gods left him with indelible memories. Therefore, after the war ended, he became increasingly resistant to the act of killing.

Secondly, there is an alliance between the Holy Church of Light and the Dragon Clan. The two sides were on the same side during the War of the Gods, so no matter how heinous Sanders was, killing or punishing him was an internal matter for the Dragon Clan.

Karius then unleashed a very special "divine punishment" upon Sanders. First, he forcibly bound Sanders' shapeshifting ring to his body, making it impossible for him to remove it no matter how hard he tried. Then, he "beaconized" the ring so that Sanders could be located and tracked.

Subsequently, the Holy Church of Light received a divine decree and dispatched a large number of messengers to inform the dragons who had a grudge against Sanders that Sanders, who had been missing for many years, had reappeared. They also thoughtfully provided a compass that could be used for tracking, so a large portion of the dragon race was mobilized.

Don't let their usual laziness fool you. Because they've lived so long, they've lost interest in many things. But the moment they heard that Sanders was being hunted, a surge of anger rushed from the top of their heads to the tip of their tails. They grabbed the compass the messenger had given them and stormed out of their cave.

Not all dragons are petty and vindictive, but Sanders, like Sony, has committed heinous crimes, causing widespread resentment among his fellow dragons. This time, however, the situation was a case of concentrated outbursts; those with grudges, those with resentment, and those simply looking for a spectacle—everyone came out in force!

Sanders was initially unaware of the impending doom until his enemies came knocking on his door one after another, each time pinpointing their exact location. Only then did Sanders realize something was amiss and quickly guess that this was retaliation from the Holy Light Church.

By this time, the number of pursuers had grown to a point that even Sanders was somewhat afraid of.

Seeing that this audacious fellow was actually afraid, Lude asked him out of curiosity.

"How many dragons are chasing (killing) you right now?"

"I'm not sure, but there should be fifty or sixty of them, plus some monster lords, the kind whose strength is no less than that of dragons. Teacher, why are you asking this?"

"Don't call me teacher, we don't know each other."

"???"

Upon hearing Sanders say that he was being chased by so many dragons, Lude felt a chill run down his spine. He wished he could immediately send this unparalleled plague away to avoid being caught in the crossfire.

What does fifty or sixty dragons even mean? That's practically a "nation-destroying army" or a "mobile natural disaster"! And Sanders lured these bastards right onto his own turf, how could Lud possibly stay calm?

For a fleeting moment, Ludwig really wanted to smash the cup as a signal to call Aina and Shanes, who were guarding outside the study, to rush in, capture Sanders on the spot, and hand him over when the pursuers arrived.

Master Lu is kind-hearted and can't bear to see bloodshed on his own land!

Seeing Lude's heartlessness and refusal to acknowledge their "mentor-student relationship," Sanders practically threw himself at Lude's leg, crying as he tried to hug him.

"Teacher! If you don't save me, I'm really going to die this time!"

"Stop messing around, okay? We haven't known each other for very long, and we don't have that deep a master-disciple relationship. You don't need to pull this on me. Besides, those are dozens of giant dragons. How am I supposed to protect you?"

"You...you have a very good relationship with the Holy Church of Light, haven't you? You just cooperated recently. If you can plead with them and get that lord to stop his supernatural powers, I still have a way to escape!"

Sanders panicked this time mainly because he couldn't escape. When he realized he couldn't remove the shapeshifting ring and how the ever-growing number of pursuers could find him, Sanders guessed that this was Karius's divine punishment, meant to teach him a profound lesson.

Desperate, Sanders remembered his cheap mentor, Rudd. During his stakeout in the City of the Sun, he learned that the Pantheon had established connections with the Church of Light, which allowed the film to enter the Church of Light's stronghold and receive enthusiastic support from its followers.

Sanders had sensed from their first meeting that Ludd was no ordinary person; he was likely a chosen one, someone who could speak with the gods. He believed that through this connection, he might be able to escape with his life.

So Sanders, pursued by a large group of enemies, fled to Pinetown in a very disheveled state. Finally, as he was climbing over the wall into the backyard, he was caught red-handed by Connor, who was about to steal snacks from Ludd's study.

Faced with Sanders's desperate pleas, Lud felt like he was stuck with a piece of chewing gum, unable to shake it off no matter what he did.

When he said he wasn't familiar with Sanders, he wasn't making excuses; he genuinely wasn't familiar with him! He took Sanders on as a student simply because he recognized Sanders' considerable literary talent, which allowed him to work as a screenwriter at his own film company.

The problem is that now that this guy has been exposed, a bunch of enemies could come knocking on his door at any time. It's already a big favor that Lude didn't arrest him.

Furthermore, according to Lude's understanding, the dragon race suffered heavy casualties during the war of the gods, and their population size was reduced by more than half. Therefore, a new rule was added: members of the same race cannot kill each other. So even if Sanders is captured by his enemies, he will at most be beaten half to death, and will not actually lose his life.

However, just as Lude was trying to shake off Sanders and get him to run away so as not to implicate himself and the innocent people of Pine Town, a sudden gust of wind blew outside, making the wooden windows creak.

Lude's expression changed, thinking to himself that what he feared most had come to pass. The dragon revenge group that was chasing Sanders arrived even faster than he had imagined, almost at his doorstep.

Soon, the wind grew stronger, and the sound of dragon roars could be heard approaching from afar. The townspeople were awakened by the strange noise, and the entire guard, thinking there was an enemy attack, was mobilized. But when the soldiers looked up, they were all dumbfounded.

The sudden gust of wind had scattered the clouds, revealing a bright full moon. Dozens of enormous dragons were flying towards Pine Tree Town from the southeastern sky. This was a sight most people would only witness once in their lifetime.

Lud, who came out of the house, was also startled by the scene. A huge, dark mass of dragons, mixed with several other kinds of super monsters, made his heart pound. He thought to himself that this was much more shocking than the Godzilla movies.

The others in the temple also rushed out upon hearing the news, completely bewildered and unaware of what was going on.

After a brief moment of shock, Lude quickly calmed down and looked thoughtfully at Sanders until Sanders started to feel uneasy and wanted to run away before Lude finally spoke.

"If you don't want to get beaten up, you'll have to listen to me from now on."

In the night sky above the town, the dragons, seeking revenge, roared with boundless fury.

Since dragons communicate with each other through consciousness, staring at each other in a daze would be too mechanical and lack the necessary impact. Therefore, dragons would use human language when they were hurling insults to enhance their power and make the insults more offensive. This allowed the onlookers on the ground to understand what the dragons were shouting about.

"Sanders! You son of a bitch, get out here!"

"Hiding won't help! We know you're here!"

"Sanders, I'll curse your ancestors..."

The dragons continued to curse and yell. They knew that Sanders was hiding in the human town below, but fortunately, they still had basic rationality and did not go on a rampage to launch indiscriminate attacks on the ground.

The locals of Pine Tree Town had seen their share of grand occasions, having encountered dragons many times before, and even feeding them with snacks. With Lord Lu in charge, the townspeople remained calm and composed in the face of the dozens of colossal beasts overhead, treating them as if they were just a flock of giant pigeons.

While gazing up at this rare "spectacle," onlookers whispered among themselves, wondering who this "Sanders" was.

On the temple side, Ludger, hearing the shouts and curses from the sky, turned to Sanders beside him and said...

"Why don't you show up and say hello to your fans?"

Sanders didn't say anything, but he shook his head vigorously.

Looking at the dragons shouting and cursing overhead, Lud guessed that they probably couldn't pinpoint Sanders' exact location, so they were trying to provoke him into showing himself. Lud took advantage of this time to make arrangements.

He first had Romian take Olivia back to the house, and then had Connor call Emily over.

Miss Honglong officially settled in Songshu Town last month, enjoying various exclusive privileges and allocated housing. She is a genuine high-end talent introduced to the area!

Before Red Dragon was delivering packages, he was forced to live in a converted cowshed because of his enormous size. The conditions were indeed better than the caves in the wild, but Lude felt awkward about it and always felt guilty for mistreating him.

So, taking advantage of the current "honeymoon period" between their side and the Church of Light, they used their share of the movie's profits to buy three rings from the Church of Light. Two were given to Nidhogg and Tawawa, and one was given to Amy.

With this magical ring, Amy was able to transform into human form and move into the "employee dormitory" of SF Express—a beautifully decorated villa. Miss Red Dragon was very satisfied with her new home, especially the human bed, and had completely forgotten that she had been forced to stay and work to pay off her debts.

It's worth mentioning that seeing how easily Amy gained human form made Hydra, who had endured the pain of having her flesh and bones removed to become human, feel a little unbalanced.

However, the snake girl dared not harbor any resentment towards Lude. Instead, she secretly pondered whether she should go to the forest and capture a few more monster lords, sealing them into that book just like herself, to be molded and manipulated by their master.

Snake Girl didn't find her idea of ​​"aiding and abetting evil" inappropriate at all; she even gave herself a thumbs up for her cleverness!

Soon, Amy was dragged over by Conna. Miss Red Dragon had been on vacation for the past two days because she hadn't had many orders. She spent most of her time sleeping in her dormitory, the kind of deep sleep that could last for several days straight without her realizing it.

When Kanna dragged her over, the other woman had clearly just woken up, her eyes still sleepy and not fully awake. In her human form, Amy was a red-haired beauty who appeared to be in her early twenties, wearing an adorable little dinosaur onesie—a housewarming gift from Romian, which Amy loved dearly.

"Boss, why are you calling me so late at night?"

"Wake up and look up at the sky."

"Above my head... Holy crap! So many dragons! No, me too."

Upon seeing the sky filled with dragons, Amy was instantly jolted awake. Apart from the Dragon Clan Assembly held once every hundred years, she had never seen so many dragons gathered together, and it seemed that there were more than just dragons present.

"What's going on here!?"

"Don't panic! Let me ask you first, do you know Sanders, the Blue Gold Dragon?"

"I've heard of it."

Do you have a grudge against me?

"Uh... not yet, but I've heard about his deeds."

"That makes things easier. Just cooperate with me in a bit."

Lude whispered a few words in Amy's ear, and Miss Red Dragon's eyes widened in disbelief.

"Boss, isn't this a scam?"

“As long as it works, it’s not a scam. Besides, didn’t you complain to me before that you couldn’t handle the peak delivery season by yourself? If I recruit new employees, it will reduce your workload.”

"That's it!"
