Palgoris's eyes had turned into vertical slits, and he exuded an oppressive power. The light in the hall dimmed, and everyone felt as if they were in a turbulent sea, unable to breathe.
However, as soon as this terrifying aura approached Chen Rui, it disappeared like snowflakes meeting fire.
"Your Majesty, Dragon Emperor, your news is too outdated." Lala, who was beside Chen Rui, was naturally not oppressed by Palgoris' aura. She revealed another piece of shocking news. "This guy escaped from Raphael a few years ago. Less than a year ago, he defeated Raphael!"
Defeated Raphael!
Palgoris's breath stagnated, and he could hardly believe his ears. At this moment, Chen Rui shook his head in denial. "I did not defeat Raphael."
Everyone's expression was slightly relieved. Chen Rui added, "The truth is that I only fought him for ten minutes. However, if it had been more than a minute, he might have died."
As soon as these words were spoken, it immediately caused an uproar.
In fact, Chen Rui was not exaggerating. At that time, if it weren't for Gabriel's timely warning that 10 minutes were up, once the [Celestial Gods Mirror] was launched, Raphael would be seriously injured even if he didn't die.
Moreover, after the battle in the Elemental Realm, Chen Rui now had a deeper understanding of the "Stars of Heaven Mirror", especially the fusion power. His strength was even greater than when he "visited" the Sacred Mountain. If Raphael's strength remained the same during this period, Chen Rui was confident that he could win.
"Shameless boasting!" Palgoris sneered. This boast was too exaggerated. A few years ago, he had been running for his life from Raphael's hands, and now Raphael had managed to escape from him by a fluke?
Who was Raphael? The Third Supreme Angel, one of the strongest peak fake gods in the human world!
"He wasn't bragging. If the opponent was you, he wouldn't even need to do anything. I can do it with one hand." This voice once again caused an uproar. Even the calmest Melia could not help but widen her eyes in shock. It was actually her daughter, Rolla.
Palgoris's pupils constricted slightly, and his voice became even colder. "You are the number one genius in Ryūzoku. Even I did not have the strength you have now. As for what you said just now, it may become a reality in the future, but now, it can only be described as' arrogant '! As an elder, you have the right to question and challenge the strength of the Dragon Emperor, and even replace him. If a race wants to maintain its strength and development, competition is indispensable. I am also mentally prepared to accept the transfer of power in the future. This transfer of power might be someone else, or it might be you. But it was only in the future, not in the present! If you still don't step down … "
Before he could finish his words, he saw Rolla's aura, which was originally only at the "Nation-level", surge, and her strength instantly skyrocketed. Demigod, mid-demigod, peak … Palgoris was suddenly shocked. This was because Rolla's aura did not stop after reaching the peak of demigod, and she easily crossed over to the fake god level: early-stage fake god, mid-stage fake god …
Palgoris's expression changed drastically. This was because Rolla's strength was still rising, and in the blink of an eye, it had risen to a level that he could not sense!
He saw Rolla wave her hand, and a rainbow appeared under her feet, slowly spreading towards the "sea".
This rainbow was not fast, and it did not seem to have any special power, but it was far above the aura of the sea. Wherever it passed, the seawater decreased at a speed visible to the naked eye, and in an instant, it was evaporated.
Before the rainbow reached him, Palgoris felt that his soul had been frightened by the terrifying aura, and a silver armor subconsciously appeared all over his body. However, as the rainbow approached step by step, the armor could not withstand such a powerful pressure, and a large crack appeared.
At this moment, the entire palace and even the entire Ryūzoku trembled under this power. Even the Dragon Inscriptions that covered the defense could not suppress it. The nearby Dragons were suppressed to the point that they could not move, and they looked in the direction of the Holy Spirit Peak in horror.
"Alright, Rolla." Chen Rui's voice sounded, and the rainbow immediately stopped spreading and gradually dissipated. The terrifying pressure also disappeared.
Palgoris looked in disbelief at Rolla, who calmly withdrew a hand, and spat out four words with difficulty, "Peak fake god …"
The hall suddenly became quiet. Except for Chen Rui's side, all the Dragons gasped.
She really was a peak fake god!
During the last Elders Council, the Rolla who appeared in front of everyone was still in the Peak Kingdom. How long had it been! She actually became a peak fake god!
How was this possible!
"You won." Palgoris restrained his power in a daze, and his voice was extremely bitter, "Although it feels unbelievable, it is the truth. You are right, I am wrong. There is no need for 'future', 'present', I am no longer your opponent … "
Palgoris knew the gap between peak fake god and intermediate fake god better than any of the Dragons' elders. Rolla had just released a little of her aura. If she really attacked, it would be a fluke to escape, and there was no chance of winning at all. And according to Rolla, that 'Richard' was stronger than her. What she said earlier about almost killing Raphael should be true!
Palgoris was mentally prepared to fight with Chen Rui, the "intermediate fake god", but he did not expect things to turn out like this. Taking a deep breath, he finally adjusted his state of mind and sighed, "Elder Rolla, there is no doubt about your strength. It is the fortune of the whole of Ryūzoku for the Dragons to have such a genius and strong person like you. So, are you ready to accept the throne?"
According to the rules of the Dragons, Rolla, as an elder, was already qualified to replace the Dragon Emperor Palgoris after successfully "challenging" him. As long as the Great Elder agreed, he could immediately convene an Elders Council, and after a vote, he would officially hand over the throne. The current Great Elder was none other than Rolla's mother. Coupled with Rolla's strong strength, there was almost no obstacle for the Elders Council to pass.
The elders all looked at each other. The daughter was about to become the Dragon Emperor, and the mother was the Great Elder. Was the Saint-dragon family, which had ruled the country of dragons for many years, going to be completely replaced by the Fairy Dragon?
The reason why Palgoris proposed the succession of the throne was because he had no other choice. Rolla's strength had already shocked everyone, but there was still an even more unfathomable man behind her. His courage, methods, and strategies were all terrifying, as could be seen from the incident where he fooled the Church of Light and Raphael. As long as they had the support of 'Richard', the mother and daughter would soon be able to firmly control the whole of Ryūzoku.
"Wait!" Before Rolla could reply, Meria spoke first, walking in front of her daughter. "Rolla, I am equally amazed by your strength, but I am even more proud of you. For a mother, the growth of a child, even if it is just a little, fills me with hope and comfort. However, as the Great Elder of the Dragons, I do not think you are qualified for the position of the Dragon Emperor. Apart from your strength, you are stubborn, fond of freedom, inflexible, not good at interpersonal relationships, and not good at controlling the overall situation … Simply put, with your current ability, you do not have the qualities of a king, and you will not be able to do better than His Majesty Palgoris! So, as the Great Elder, I will be the first to oppose you becoming the Dragon Emperor. "
Meria's tone was stern but sincere, and it was not a pretense. The elders could not help but whisper among themselves, and Palgoris's heart felt like it had been knocked over. For a moment, all sorts of emotions intertwined with each other, including admiration, gratitude, and shame.
All along, Palgoris had been wary of Meria's power and prestige. The last time he had supported his trusted aide Stanwil, he had wanted to push Meria down, or even exile her. However, Meria had used the power of her son-in-law 'Richard' to turn the tables, cleverly dispersing the power of the Great Elder. She had retreated in order to gain Palgoris's trust and importance. However, in the depths of Palgoris's heart, he had never truly let go of his fear, and he believed that Meria was also aware of this.
However, at this most critical moment, Meria's performance had greatly exceeded Palgoris's expectations, and at the same time, he was completely convinced. Palgoris finally understood why Meria could gain the respect and trust of so many people. She was a true, competent, and irreplaceable Great Elder.
Faced with her righteous mother, Rolla was stunned, "Who said I want to be the Dragon Emperor?"
Palgoris was also stunned, "You don't want to be the ruler of Ryūzoku?"
Rolla looked at Meria, and then at Chen Rui, her glasses flashing, "I have never thought of replacing anyone, not now and not in the future. Mother is right, you are the most suitable king, no one can do better than you. I just want to clarify that my husband did not lie, and … I just want the Golden Ambergris Flower. "
Hmph, what's so good about the throne? I don't care about it at all!
Take the three Empresses for example, Catherine, Jía, and Tiffany are busy with state affairs every day. Even Jía, who is the closest, can hardly see her even once a month unless Chen Rui goes to see her.
I am in the Rainbow Valley, I can see him whenever I want!
Rolla was not stupid. Not only did she state her choice, her words also clearly showed her support for Palgoris. Palgoris was finally relieved and nodded slightly to Meria and Rolla.
This nod seemed casual, but Meria had already felt Palgoris's unprecedented sincerity. From now on, there was no longer any barrier between the Dragon Emperor and the Great Elder, so she smiled and said nothing.
Indeed, Rolla was not a qualified ruler. However, there were many things that could be learned from the beginning. It was just that Merya herself had been the Great Elder for many years. She had seen a lot of open strife and veiled strife. As a mother, she hoped that her daughter could obtain happiness and freedom.
"Just the Golden Ambergris Flower …" Palgoris let out a long sigh, "Rolla, your 'pursuit' makes me feel lucky, but also regretful. If that's the case, I'll call Sophia over now. "
"Wait a minute," Meria frowned, "Rolla, if you really want to get the Golden Ambergris Flower, I hope that you can get it with Her Highness Sophia's consent, and not by relying on your own power."
Rolla nodded, "Yes, let's go find Aunt Sophia now. Your Majesty, is that alright?"
Palgoris glanced at Meria gratefully, "Of course, Sophia is in the White Jade Palace of the Holy Spirit Peak. Stanwil, accompany Elder Rolla and the three guests."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Stanwil suppressed the fear in his heart and came before the four people.
Chen Rui tilted his head towards Palgoris, "I was a little impatient just now, please accept a friend's apology for offending you."
This was a world where strength was everything. Rolla had already displayed the overwhelming strength of a peak demigod, and 'Richard' was even stronger than Rolla. Being able to defeat Raphael, in the entire main plane, he was definitely at the pinnacle of existence below the god level. To be able to gain the friendship of such a peerless powerhouse was definitely beneficial to Ryūzoku.
Dragon Emperor Palgoris did not dare to delay. He stood up and said, "If Your Majesty Richard is willing, Ryūzoku will always be Your Majesty's friend."
Chen Rui nodded and said to Stanwil, "Please lead the way."
Stanwil bowed, and under everyone's gaze, he led Chen Rui and the other three out of the hall.
