Becoming the Demon Lord: Taming the Demon Queen Begins

The roar of the dragon left Aegir completely stunned.

"What do you mean by that?"

His gaze fixed on Timothy.

Timothy spread his hands and said, "I mean, of course, to help Azura hold onto the position of Dragon King. Do you think it's cooler to have a regular dragon as a mount, or to have a Dragon King as a pet?"

"Timothy, don't push your luck! I respect you because of my respect for the Sky Sanctuary and Goddess Sylvia, but if you dare covet the position of Dragon King, don't blame me for turning on you. The Shrine of the Oceanic Dragon handles its own affairs, and even Goddess Sylvia wouldn't interfere, so don't dig your own grave!" Aegir was thoroughly enraged.

"But what if I told you that I am acting on the orders of Goddess Sylvia to help Azura keep her position as Dragon King? Would you defy the command of the goddess then?" Timothy suddenly said.

"Bullshit!"

Aegir was almost fooled, but he quickly realized the truth.

If the goddess really intended this, she could have easily sent a decree from miles away or directly sent an elder.

If that were the case, he might have had to back down. But clearly, Timothy was just making this up.

"When did the goddess ever issue such a decree, Timothy? Do you realize the crime of falsely claiming a divine command?"

Timothy replied, "Can't my words be as good as those of the goddess?"

Hearing this, Aegir suddenly laughed.

After a sneer, his face took on a mocking look.

Timothy, having awakened the Enlightenment Body and being highly regarded by Goddess Sylvia, had previously made Aegir hesitant to act rashly. But now, the situation was completely different.

Timothy dared to overstep his bounds and disrespect the goddess. Aegir could now justify taking action in the name of upholding the goddess's dignity, which would not only be perfectly reasonable but also demonstrate his loyalty to the goddess. This was an opportunity Aegir was definitely not going to miss.

"Timothy has meddled in the affairs of the Shrine of the Oceanic Dragon, defending a former Dragon King who betrayed the Shrine. More importantly, he dared to disrespect the goddess and speak irreverently of her. The majesty of the goddess cannot be violated. All dragons, follow me to capture Timothy and present him to the goddess.

The goddess will surely feel our loyalty and grant us her protection and rewards!" Aegir commanded the dragons around him.

The older dragons who were close to Azura had already been sent to distant seas or forcibly detained. Now, all the dragons around Aegir were his loyal followers.

"Timothy, since you dare to disrespect the goddess, don't blame us for being ruthless!"

"Humph, you think you can speak for the goddess?"

"Roar!"

Amidst the roaring, a dozen old dragons transformed into their massive dragon forms. Although their scales and dragon aura were not as dazzling and pure as Azura's, they were still enormous, firmly encircling Timothy and Azura.

"What's wrong with saying my words are as good as my wife's?"

Timothy sighed, resigned to the fact that this group of dragons lacked discernment. But this was exactly the situation he wanted to see.

After all, he still had many treasures on him that he hadn't tried out yet.

A dozen old dragons surrounded them, only two of which had recently entered the Ocean's Gate. The rest boasted the strength of the late Mystic Core stage or even peak levels. It seemed that over the years, the Shrine of the Oceanic Dragon had indeed lost its former glory.

"Azura, I promised to get you to the Ocean's Gate within a year. Now, it's time for you to get some practice," Timothy said, his gaze filled with confidence.

Even facing a dozen dragons much older and stronger than herself, Azura felt an unwavering resolve in her heart, as if fear was foreign to her.

"Hmph, you only have 1% more Ancestral dragon bloodline than me. How strong do you think you can be?" Aegir scoffed, completely underestimating Azura's resistance.

But then, a dragon's roar erupted.

Though still youthful in tone, it carried an undeniable dragon's authority.

Brilliant golden light shot into the sky, not just from the dazzling blue scales, but Azura's dragon horns radiated a majestic aura.

"Boom!"

A shockwave spread outwards, sending huge waves crashing around, even shaking the grand hall of the Shrine of the Oceanic Dragon as if it might collapse.

The oppressive aura that burst forth far exceeded any dragon's imagination. The pressure emanating from Azura's golden dragon eyes instilled a sudden, inexplicable fear in the dozen dragons hovering above the Shrine.

The light was brilliant, the dragon's might immense, starkly different from Aegir's.

This was the true dragon's might, the true oppression a Dragon King should possess!

Not just the dozen old dragons, but all the Sea Folk in the vicinity were trembling in their spirits, looking up at Azura's divine form with utmost respect and solemnity.

They had been misled by Aegir, some even pledging loyalty to him. But at this moment, the Sea Folk realized their mistake.

In the dragon race, only the strong are revered!

The Azura of today was no longer the frail little girl chosen for the position of Ocean Dragon King merely by her bloodline.

This immense dragon's might was the true embodiment of what an Ocean Dragon King should be!

"This can't be right, how is this possible!" Aegir was shocked, his confidence evaporating instantly, his face losing all color.

Such a pure Ancestral dragon bloodline hadn't been seen in dragons for ten thousand years.

Not even the past Dragon Kings could compare to Azura.

What had happened?

Why had Azura's bloodline become so terrifying?

Could it be the Golden Scale Dragon Carp?

Aegir had heard legends that the Golden Scale Dragon Carp could enhance one's bloodline.

But how rare was the Golden Scale Dragon Carp? To elevate Azura's bloodline to such a terrifying level was unthinkable, let alone finding one.

The Shrine of the Oceanic Dragon even suspected that the Golden Scale Dragon Carp had gone extinct, existing nowhere but in the Celestial Realm.

As the dragon's might spread and the pressure intensified, Azura's youthful roar made all the seas look up in awe and fear.

Thousands of fish halted, countless creatures bowed their heads.

The ancient dragons were the strongest beings beneath the gods.

The fear embedded in every Sea Folk's bloodline ignited at this moment.

This was the true dragon's might, the true being worthy of the title Dragon King!

All eyes were now fixed on Azura.

And at that moment, Azura slowly turned around.

Facing Timothy, within the endless brilliant golden light, Azura bowed her head and said softly, "Thank you... Master."

In this scene, with those words, all was silent around them.
