Shut Up, Malevolent Dragon! I Don’t Want to Have Any More Children With You

Upon hearing those words, both Leon and Rosvisser couldn’t help but straighten up in solemn respect.

Of course, the respect wasn’t because Dimo claimed they were descendants of Zeus. It was because, finally, they’d come across a race whose origins actually aligned with the notes from their father-in-law.

Noa and Xiaoxue sat beside, listening just as attentively.

"We of the Golden Thunder Clan are one of the oldest races on the Samael Continent.
We were born upon this land after the Dragon God Tiamat ended the invasion of chaos."

"But unlike you dragons, the god we revere is not the Dragon God, but rather the Elemental God, Zeus."

"He laid the pragmatic foundation for today’s entire magical system, and it was Zeus who spread the five fundamental elements across the world."

"It’s no exaggeration to say that without Zeus, there would be no glorious and radiant age of magic on the Samael Continent today."

Although the High Priest’s speech made him sound like a diehard, brainwashed fanatic of Zeus, he wasn’t actually wrong.

The current magical systems, branches, and everything else all traced back to Zeus—that much was indisputable.

Of course, the primordial gods all had their domains, and every god contributed enormously to the birth and development of Samael.
As for who to worship and who to exalt, that was up to each race to decide.

Leon and Rosvisser had always taken a strictly objective stance when it came to viewing the gods.

"We’ve heard tales of the primordial gods during our travels across the continent,"
Leon said. "But most people say that all of them, including Zeus, have already perished. Could you tell us the full story?"

Dimo nodded, not putting on any airs as he patiently began,
"The fall of the gods was inevitable. For the long-term development of all life on Samael,
they selflessly gave their lives and power."

"But perhaps due to some ancient and mysterious danger, the gods—before their deaths—used the last of their power to forge relics unique to each of them.
These relics still remain hidden in corners of the Samael Continent to this day."

That ancient and mysterious danger Dimo mentioned—Leon guessed—was the Void Gate.
That chaotic sub-dimension… Even Tiamat and the other primordial gods must have sensed that some entity beyond the world was beginning to stir.

So from that time on, they had begun using their own divine power to suppress the Void Gate, to prevent the enemy’s invasion.
But at the same time, the fledgling Samael needed nourishment and blessing from the gods as well.
