Chapter 1462: The Dragon God
Translated by Jim

Abel was not surprised by what Headmaster Eugene said at all. He already had some idea before, but he just never expected the Dragon God to be so powerful, considering the size of the Dragon Island.
Abel looked around and asked politely, “Headmaster Eugene, is the Dragon God here?”.
“Not yet, Headmaster Abel, and I don’t know where he is,” Headmaster Eugene shook his head.
“It has been thousands of years since the Dragon God showed himself, but I don’t think it will be long until he returns!” Headmaster Carlos added with a smile.
Since the Dragon God was taking back Dragon Island, it meant he would join the fight against the Demon from Beyond with the Dragon Headmasters.
Excitement emerged from Abel’s eyes. Just how powerful was the legendary Dragon God?
At the same time he became much less worried about the President of The Wizard Union.
With the Dragon God around, it would be very hard for him to make a move. After all, the Dragons were a loyal bunch.
Even if the President of the Wizard Union wanted to make a sneak attack, Abel could easily hide in the Golden Castle or the Dark World!
He gazed at Dragon Island. It was still there, but he could no longer enter it.
“Headmaster Abel, what brings you here?” Headmaster Eugene asked courteously.
“I want to use the dragon’s Communication Circle to send an objection to the Wizard Union. It’s just that….” Abel helplessly looked around.
Headmaster Eugene pointed to a distant island and smiled. “Haha, no problem! The Dragon Temple has already been moved to that island over there. What kind of objection?”
“I am a part of the God Alliance, and Wizard Mosley is threatening the God of Wealth because the wizards lost some precious item. I have to help!” Abel replied honestly.
“Are they crazy? Doing something like this right before the Demon from Beyond’s resurrection?” Headmaster Carlos shook his head.
“For things like that, we dragons will help even if we are not a part of the God Alliance!’ Headmaster Eugene promised firmly.
——
As they continued to chat, Headmaster Eugene and Headmaster Carlos flew towards the Dragon Temple with Abel.
Abel thought about his den when he saw the Dragon Temple. The whole thing was dug up, including its base, and had been perfectly transferred to this island.
It was clear that the Dragon God was treating the dragon’s caves and the Dragon Temple with completely different attitudes.
Abel felt a little irritated, but he soon accepted the reality. There were not many islands around, and giving each cave an island was not very realistic.
“Headmaster Abel, I’ll leave you to it!” Headmaster Eugene did not enter the Dragon Temple with Abel, instead leaving with Headmaster Carlos.
Dragon Headmasters were very busy during times like this, so Abel did not keep them.
He stepped into the Dragon Temple and saw the dragon priests were decorating something. When they saw Abel, they quickly bowed to him, then got back to work.
It seemed like they were planning a celebration to welcome their god’s return.
Abel arrived at the Communication Circle and sent the objection he had prepared to the Wizard Union.

A piece of parchment was teleported to Wizard Smith in the Wizard Union. His expression immediately sank.
Wizard Smith was not the most powerful God Rank Wizard, but he was one of the Vice Presidents. The other God Rank Wizard thought managing things was a waste of time, and most of them just dedicated their time to training instead.
Although Wizard Smith had some authority, he could not order any other God Rank Wizard to do anything against their will. It was a world based on power, after all.
However, Wizard Mosley had threatened the God of Wealth without the Wizard Union’s consent, and now had directly caused tensions with the Dragons and Headmaster Abel.
“God Rank Wizards, we need a meeting!” he ordered.
—–
An hour later, fifteen God Rank Wizards were gathered in the meeting room.
“Everyone, I know the President’s reward is very attractive, but our biggest enemy is the Demon from Beyond, please hold back a little!” Wizard Smith said in a grim voice.
“Wizard Smith, are you talking about me?” Wizard Mosley sneered, having also received the news.
Since the Dragons had shown their stance, every God Rank Wizard, including the ones at the Warding Wall, knew about it.
“Wizard Mosley, we need the gods to help us fight in the war!” Wizard Smith nodded.
“Smith, we lost our treasure, and the gods are basically useless! Why do you think we even kept them around in the first place? Because of their holy crystals!” Wizard Mosley snapped back.
Although the wizards didn’t know what the treasure had done, they knew their President had been nourishing it with holy crystals.
Those gods were not skilled in battle. They only had some special tricks, so they wouldn’t do much in the actual battle with the Demon from Beyond.
Wizard Smith gazed outside and replied calmly, “Wizard Mosley, that’s for the President to decide. If you really want to make a move on the gods, it’s best that you get the President’s consent first!”
Their meeting was in private, but their reputation would be impacted if the public found out about their attitude towards the gods.
Wizard Smith knew there was more between their President and the Gods, but he couldn’t disclose it, nor did he know all the details.
Wizard Mosley sank back to his seat and huffed, “Fine, I won’t mess with the God of Wealth again!”
He was clearly unsatisfied that Wizard Smith was using the President’s name to pressure him.
He thought that as long as he was able to provide some trace to the treasure, the President might grant him some rewards, even if he didn’t take him in as a disciple. He had stayed at his current Rank for too long and had lost all hope of advancing, so he could not miss this opportunity!
“Wizard Mosley, I know you want to help the President find his treasure, but the God Alliance has Headmaster Abel on their side. It’s best to stay out of trouble before the President returns!” Wizard Smith said helplessly.
————
Soon, a reply was sent back to Abel and the God of Wealth. The two businessmen who were targeted were freed again, just like nothing had happened.
However, the damage was done. First the orcs’ Crazy Heart Kingdom went into lockdown, and most humans, besides the God of Wealth’s followers, were kicked out.
Priests also began to withdraw from the central continent’s front line and returned to the orcs.
Although they were not the most powerful profession, their Curses still played a part in the strength of the Warding Wall.
—
At the same time, the elves’ Ervo Forest also went into lockdown, and they recalled most of their Druids, Potion Makers, and Magic Circle Makers.
All of this impacted the power of the Wizard Union, forming a sort of boycott for their gods.
After all, they had the mighty Abel as an ally. Once the Wizard Union gave them trouble, Abel would stand up for them!
——
Just like that, an even deeper tension was created between the Wizard Union and the God Alliance. After all, they had breached the bottom line of the gods.
Who could have guessed such chaos would break out just before the Demon from Beyond’s resurrection?
The Wizard Union had already lost the dwarves, and now they were losing the God Alliance!
——–
However, none of this affected Abel in the slightest. Without even checking out his dragon cave, he returned to training straight away.
Since he no longer needed to fight in the Dark World, he had more free time than ever, and he started to do things he had not done for a long time.
Other than spending much of his time perfecting his Territories of Laws, he also taught the blacksmiths in Doff’s holy ground the forging skills he had learned from the Dark World.
Just like that, they could finally make Dark World-style gear, which were unlike anything else in this world.
Indeed, no one else had the power to make things like that, besides Abel’s blacksmith and the Holy Continent. Some of them could even make Dark Gold gear!
Perhaps in the near future a renaissance of smithwork would happen in the Holy Continent and the dwarves would be able to maximize their work in the cities.
Everything was totally unique, but no one outside had even the slightest idea of what was happening. After all, the Holy Continent was a locked-up subcontinent, with the Lance Spirit controlling all the Super Teleportation Circles!
