The Path Of The Great Sovereign - Chapter 176
A few days passed as Tatsuo starting to understand more of his newfound power. Experimenting in the training grounds gave him some insight into the powers he wields and the realms of the Gods. As a 16th Tier GodKing, Tatsuo is able to wield three Domains which will formulate his Realm of Divinity which is a necessary part of advancing to Supreme. Lesser Gods only have 1 Domain like Nyx the God of the Night who is a Peak Tier 14.
Tatsuo’s Domains are Violence, Pride and Fire. The more powerful the God the broader the Domain becomes, for example, Violence could be something simple like a simple brawl or something more complex as a political coup, The raw act of physically hurting someone or the more complex emotion of unpleasantness, or raw destructive natural force. During the time period, this domain might be one of the Strongest.
Pride, As a Dragon the line between Pride and Hubris is a fine line as it is acceptable to have pride however hubris can lead to death. As two of Tatsuo’s domains could be derived from emotion, the power of Faith is far more potent when a believer is experiencing these emotions.
In return for their Faith, Tatsuo can reward them however he feels fit, from small things like healing disability to large things like rebirth or resurrection as a Godking can alter the very laws of nature to bend to his or her views.
The day of the Annual skirmish approached as Tatsuo had his generals prepare his army, he also transmitted to the Re-Eztise Kingdom Ains Ool Gown’s annexation of E-Rantel. Getting dressed into his Royal garments to have a gander at the battlefield he was approached by a Vampire.
“Esteemed Dragon King, Please pardon the intrusion but I would like to have a chat with Your Majesty.”
“And to whom do I have the pleasure of addressing? As you can see i am a tad bit busy and it is quite rude to intrude on a Monarch even if you are a God.”
The Vampire was not surprised the Dragon King could see through his strength as the rumors of his power have already spread far and wide. What he came here for today at the risk of death was an opportunity.
“Your Majesty, My name is Viktor Leshchenko, I am the Original Vampire, sire to all Vampires, Head of the Vampiric Pantheon a Tier 14 Lesser God.”
Tatsuo buttoned up his shirt and proceeded to tie his tie not saying a word waiting for this Vampire to continue with his Story.
“Your Majesty, over the pass Eons the 3 Great Pantheons have starved us Lessor Pantheons of Faith and the opportunity to grow because we do not have the power to Fight back. I remember when the Last Dragon King was alive and like him we were just trying to ensure that our Kin and Subordinates were able to thrive. I have come here today to ask if your majesty will allow us to be under your protection.”
“The Witches, Lycans, Vampires, and Demons were suppressed due to obvious reasons. Many of you are evil and kill the believers we need for faith, which in the long run makes things far more difficult. So give me a valid reason why I should allow you my protection.”
“Your Majesty is a Godking far more powerful than I, which means you can modify the Vampire race as you choose, eliminating the less than desirable effects and creating something far more useful to His Majesty!”
As Viktor said this he dropped to his Knees as Tatsuo grabbed his Suit Jacket and placed his crown atop his head.
“Your Majesty must understand that sometimes individuals have no other choice than to become a Vampire. While a lot of the Time the negatives of being a Vampire outweigh the positives we would still rather go down this path than others.”
Tatsuo looked at Viktor who placed his head on the ground in submission.
“The Vampires have their uses I suppose.”
Placing his hand on the Vampires Head Tatsuo tapped into the depths of his soul.
“As we are a new Patheon I will not restrict you much, and I am also intrigued on what a Vampiric Dragon would be like.”
Tatsuo looked at Viktor and then he thought about the trails to come.
“Joining me means that you too will have to face the judgment of the other 3 pantheons, I doubt that you care about that however it also means that if you betray me I will kill you and spread your ashes in the Astral Plane.”
Viktor looked into the Eyes of the Dragon King and he remembered a saying “A Dragon must be feared as its words are its bond.”
