Chapter 434: A Battle Across Time and Space

Price Lane and Angel Watson chatted for a long time. The little emperor showed no airs at all and behaved like a wise ruler, which surprised Angel Watson.

The performance of the little emperor before is very different from now. How could he manage to crush his own family members to death on the battlefield out of fear?
Angel Watson couldn't figure it out, so he could only accept the little emperor's own explanation - people grow up only after experiencing life and death.

This is what Price Lane said. He was rude, ignorant, arrogant and cowardly at the beginning. It was not until he showed such an ugly appearance on the battlefield that he learned his lesson and began to change for the better.

So Price Lane began to study, to research, and to set new great ambitions... Angel Watson thought there was nothing wrong with this statement and gradually accepted it.

When Price Lane returned to the palace through the teleportation array, the expression on the little emperor's face changed, becoming hideous and vicious.

"Damn traitor, why don't you let Ange Watson kill his entire family and bring all the heads of Watson's family to me, wouldn't that solve the problem?!"

The Price Lane just now was not himself, but the ancient remnant soul from the depths of the Dragon Armed Forces - Atros Eternal.

The little emperor didn't have this kind of acting skills. After he knew that Allen wanted to rebel, he wanted to kill Allen's entire family. He couldn't even show a good face to Allen's eldest brother.

In the end, the little emperor simply handed his body to Atreus, letting the former dragon tyrant help him act.

The results were perfect and Ange Watson didn't seem to notice anything wrong.

Atros said helplessly to the little emperor: "You always think that killing all the enemies will solve the problem. Can't you stand at a higher level and look down on them? Emperor, we are immortal. We are different from those mortals. We are a higher level of life, almost like gods!

"Gods can certainly kill mortals at any time, but if all mortals are killed, who will build temples for worshiping gods? If you can never understand this, then you will never understand the power of time."

The little emperor calmed down a little and asked, "Like what you did to that Anger Watson? To be honest, I only know that you used this power, but what did you do?"

Artros explained: "If you really want me to describe it... you can understand that I transferred his current good feelings towards us to his past. The past has a great influence on people, just like the beauty that has been touched, it will always beautify it.

"I'm fine-tuning his feelings, not his specific memories, and transferring the affection he has for us now to his past. Then the feeling will become more vague, but the effect will be more powerful. He will think that his admiration and loyalty to us have always been a matter of course, and it will be easier for us to control this person."

The little emperor couldn't help but say, "This is getting weirder and weirder. Is this really the power of time? Does the Time Dragon usually use its power like this?"

The little emperor had tried and understood the ability to reverse time, but how about extracting the emotions contained in a period of time and throwing it into a person's past memories?

This doesn't sound like the power of time anymore. Isn't this really a spiritual enchantment? If the dragon tyrant had this ability, how could the slaves rebel? They should worship the dragons as their creators.

Artros explained: "Of course not. The former Dragon Tyrant didn't need to resort to such tricks, but now we don't even have one percent of our original strength, so of course we have to be more careful. You should also work harder. You have been slacking off again recently."

The little emperor said impatiently: "I know, but what's the point of just practicing the Mage's Hand every day? After such a long time, I haven't made any progress. Are you using the wrong method?"

Complaining, the little emperor still obediently summoned the wizard's hand and began to control the glowing palm to do some delicate movements. This was his daily practice. He said that when he could control the wizard's hand to play exquisite music, he could move on to the next part of learning.

The little emperor was always impatient, and Atreus always had only one reply: "We are immortal. If you can't even accept this little bit of blandness, immortality will be a long-lasting torture for you."

The little emperor had no choice but to try his best to cultivate his inner self.

When he got really upset, he would talk to Atreus.

After just a few minutes of practice today, he couldn't help but ask, "You told that Ange Watson that you wanted to build an empire greater than Ryan's, are you serious?"

Artros replied: "This is not a question of whether to take it seriously, Your Majesty. Isn't this a matter of course? We are immortal, so the Lion Empire is also eternal. Isn't it natural for an eternal empire to rule this plane? We can't still worry about orc invasions thousands of years later. That would be too lazy."

The little emperor was stunned for a moment, then said: "That's right, we are immortal, so it's only natural that we should surpass Saint King Arthur and unify the world."

"Yes, we have to beat Arthur Lane," Artros echoed.

But there is one more thing that Artros did not say, which is - but the ones who truly defeated Arthur Lane were not his descendants, but his enemies.

Just like all villains in the story, no villain is willing to become someone else's slave, and the same is true for Atros. After reawakening his will, he is planning his future.

Artros was already tired of this little emperor. He was selfish, stupid, greedy, had no self-control or willpower, and had a serious mental illness due to the distorted education methods of the Ryan royal family over the years. He was cruel and had no empathy.

Even the Demon Dragon Tyrant back then was only cruel to other races, but the Time Dragon was extremely kind to his own kind. The Demon Dragon Tyrant enslaved other races for the prosperity of the dragon race, not for himself.

But this little emperor is different, he only has himself in his heart.

Humanity, the empire, everything, is less important to him than himself. Such an extremely selfish character will never lead to anything great.

It's a pity that Arteros can't leave him now.

But it won't be long. Today, the little emperor is willing to hand over his body to Atreus for control. Tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, and after a while, the little emperor will get used to this feeling, until one day, Atreus will completely control everything.

Atreus was very patient. As he said, he was immortal and there was no need to rush.

As for the threat posed by Alan and the lich, Atros didn't care too much.

In his opinion, Allen was just a naive idealist. His preaching might make many people willing to follow him, but what if Artros controlled the little emperor to make concessions?
If you are wrong, correct it. If you correct the previous mistakes, what position does Allen have to talk about separation?
By then, the power of the empire will still fall into the hands of the royal family.

Perhaps it will be weakened and positions like the Supreme Judgment will gain higher power, but that doesn't matter.

Because time will erase everything, and Atreus controls time, he has enough patience to take back these powers bit by bit and become the supreme emperor again.

This is what he has realized over the past 1,700 years.

The dragon tyrant was too anxious at the time. Even if the game was over, why did he want to duel with Arthur Ryan? Human lifespan is only a hundred years, while the time dragon is eternal.

If I hide with the surviving dragons for a while until Arthur Lane dies, wouldn't everything be solved?
The former dragon tyrant took his own pride too seriously and did not understand what it meant to temporarily avoid the spotlight.

And now, Atros will not repeat the mistakes of the past. He really wants to unify the world. No matter whether it is the dragon clan or any other race, everything will be ruled by him.

Artros couldn't help but recall the scene in the memory crystal. That sword that was like the morning light was so familiar. Wasn't this the skill that made Arthur Lane famous back then?
Compared with other holy warriors, Arthur Ryan never showed off, so his Holy Slash did not have much dazzling brilliance, it was just as plain as a casual sword strike.

But on the battlefield that year, no dragon could withstand the dawn of Arthur Lane.

Even the Dragon Tyrant is no match for him, because this is the ultimate holy light, representing the true dawn of hope, and has touched the origin of the god, the Lord of Dawn.

This is why the Lord of Dawn particularly likes Arthur Ryan and even tries to break the bet with the Dragon Gods for him.

When Arthur Ryan found out that he was cursed by dragon blood and his soul was being eroded bit by bit, the Lord of Dawn had talked to him. The Lord of Dawn was willing to remove the curse for him and lead him into the kingdom of God.

But the price is that the dragon gods no longer need to be restricted, and can also help the dragon clan remove restrictions and return to the mainland.

In the end, Arthur Lane refused, and then died completely because of the dragon blood curse.

Even though his soul had dissipated, he still left a safety net, allowing the newly reborn Dragon Tyrant to die at the hands of the Elf King.

At that time, Atreus was in a state of ignorance and was unaware of many past events, but as his strength continued to recover, he could already glimpse everything that had happened in the long river of time.

Everything in the past was seen by Artros now, and the more he knew, the more he couldn't help but want to surpass Arthur Lane.

How can a mere human being be greater than the dragon race?

Artros said to himself in his heart: "Arthur Lane, I really hope that the one in the memory crystal is you. You will see with your own eyes that your empire is taken away by me, and this world will become my property. I can be reborn in this form, and you should be able to do it too. Don't let me down, let's fight again. This time, I will use your empire to defeat you completely!"
