Lord of the Truth - Chapter 745: Ambition and blood -3

Although the Serpent Emperor had barely 30 warships at the time, the Dwarven World Planet, or what would later be called Planet F1, was not a major challenge for the Great Serpent Empire.

The planet was young in every sense of the word, there the inhabitants barely knew that they could use the third stage of the heavenly laws and become sages! The mutant human dwarves control most of the planet, there are a few wars here and there, but overall it is a peaceful place to live. In the end, the dwarves tend to love trade, industry, and hoarding money, and wars are always their last concern.

The appearance of space warships was like doomsday for them. Ugly monsters that are not humans or snakes, using a minor law related to the path of destruction! Who can stop something like this? Not only that but among them are dozens of people who can use the fourth stage of the heavenly laws!!

However, the indigenous people did not surrender, as there was a fatal weakness in the forces of the snake invaders, their small numbers.

Those damned invaders had the audacity to attack a planet with a population estimated at hundreds of millions, with some tens of thousands of soldiers!

The planet united against the invasion of the Great Serpent Empire, they were besieged several times, and managed to cause them heavy losses!…But their determination only bought them some time. In the end, the planet fell and was named F1, or the First Farm.

However, their resistance was not completely in vain. This war lasted for nearly 600 years and forced the Serpent Emperor Pythor to send every new ship to be built with all possible support to get it done.

The demi-human had been celebrating the takeover of their second planet after their home planet for months, but the Serpent Emperor and his close followers were preoccupied with something else, with the huge weakness this war had revealed… Their hopelessly small numbers.

Nearly 60% of the soldiers he transformed after the last campaign against Durger the Devourer had ended up dead by now, and the problem is that nearly a thousand years after the first transformation case, not one of them succeeded in giving birth to a child carrying the blood lineage of Durger the Devourer. They all give birth to pure humans, meaning their numbers are only going to be lower with time!

After more than a thousand years had passed, he found himself looking towards the Beast hole again… Durger the Devourer is a legendary beast that has lived for countless years and is also extremely intelligent. After its first battle against Pythor and his followers, it surrounded itself with a number of high-level beasts. And after Pythor brought the entire human army, to fight him and cause him some wounds, Durger the Devourer prepared the beast hole area to be like a fortress, ready for any upcoming attack.

That beast killed hundreds of thousands of the human army in the attack that took place almost a thousand years ago in exchange for causing a few separate wounds on its invulnerable body, and yet it acts as if it were the victim!

‘Should I go fight that thing whenever the number of my soldiers decreases?’ Pythor almost broke his fangs. He desperately wanted to communicate with the Overlord, but he was afraid that he would disturb him and die without knowing what happened, so he decided to try something himself…

Pythor summoned most of his army from the F1 Planet and then gathered all the humans capable of carrying weapons, and the weapons mentioned here for the humans were not some engraved weapons, but rather just axes and shovels, but at least he was able to gather an army of 2 million strong.

With 40 Emperors, 15,000 Demi-humans, and 2 million mortals in the lead, Pythor entered the Beast’s Hole area again… And only 20 Emperors, 3,000 Demihumans, and a few barrels came out with him.

The first thing Pythor did after he got out was take one of the barrels and disappear into his palace. When he appeared a month later, the barrel was empty, and he himself was a completely different person… His aura grew stronger and darker, his height increased to nearly 4 meters, and his head that had turned bald previously had hair again, but each strand was like a snake of its own, His feet and arms appear to have no knees or joints… He had become a true monster. Whatever made Pythor human before had disappeared once and for all.

What did he do with this power? He ordered hundreds of human females to be brought to his palace.

Within a few months, these women began to give birth to little monsters like himself… Pythor succeeded in his quest, strengthening his bloodline enabled him to pass on his abilities to a new generation for the first time.

But he was not able to give this opportunity to everyone. Rather, he was not able to give it to his twenty generals since the number of barrels was simply not enough, and he also would not wait until he had an army made up of only his sons and a handful of his assistants!

So he started doing the exact opposite… Instead of allocating a small vial of blood to each soldier, he decided to make it one drop, then reduce that amount to be a tenth of a drop, then less…

This made most of the new generation of Imperial soldiers unable to use the Minor Heavenly Law of Corrosion, and those who had enough blood to use it once or twice would die immediately afterward… But at least this solved the problem for Pythor.

After previously dividing humans into 3 classes, Pythor added a new class, those who had a lot of Durger the Devourer’s blood and those who had too little.

But this did not prevent the pure humans from entering into fierce competitions in which they killed each other until a handful of them were chosen to join the army and receive even an atom’s weight of the Devouring Drauger’s blood to escape their miserable lives!

The one who performs heroic deeds and obtains a quarter drop of the Durger the Devourer’s blood enjoys great respect among his peers and becomes a source of pride for his human family, and the members of his human family have a greater chance of deserving some of the blood and joining the army, and of course the more the number of Demi-humans in one family the stronger and more respectable this family will become.

There are also those who win the lottery, such as General Harros of the First Fleet, and obtain enough blood to pass on his lineage to the next generation of his children, those who get this honor will have enough pride and glory to walk with their head above the clouds at any place reached by the Great Serpent Empire.

This was the beginning of the Great Serpent Empire… A great figure from a higher world found someone perfect for his plans, resulting in a planetary empire that exudes a mixture of ambition and madness, racism and glory.
