Game of Thrones: The Wrath of the Sleeping Dragon

Although Rahlo was somewhat disgusted, he was still prepared to launch an attack, just as he had eliminated the Valyrian gods hundreds of years ago, to wipe out the gods of Westeros in one fell swoop and truly become the ruler of Asgard.

Rahlo's eyes burned with intense flames, a stark contrast to his previous gentle demeanor. He resembled a volcano about to erupt, and beneath his wide, fiery red robe, faint black lines bulged like veins.

However, in reality, Rahlo had long since abandoned his mortal body, which was a burden. Now, this was his divine body, which should have been pure and flawless, but it seemed to be entangled by some inexplicable black threads.

But just as R'hllor led the gods of Essos in preparing to launch an attack to destroy the gods of Westeros.

The owner of this place suddenly stepped forward.

Call ~

The milky-white light suddenly shone brightly, and divine power gathered from it, attracting the attention of all the gods. Then, seven figures emerged from it.

They are the Father holding a scepter, the Virgin Mary holding an infant, a warrior in golden armor, a girl in purple with a small bird perched on her hand, a blacksmith holding a warhammer, an old woman leaning on a cane and carrying a lantern, and a stranger shrouded in a black robe, his face obscured.

"One body, seven faces, you have indeed recovered long ago."

When Rahlo saw the Seven Gods suddenly emerge from the white light, he showed no surprise whatsoever, merely letting out a cold snort. Compared to the Old Gods, who had always been good-natured, participating in the battle, Rahlo seemed to have already guessed that the Seven Gods had recovered.

“I was the one who hurt you back then, but it certainly won’t take you this long to recover.”

"It seems you've been waiting for this moment for a long time."

Rahlo made no attempt to hide the fact that he was the one who attacked the Seven Gods, which caused the Westeros gods, including the Drowned God, to change their expressions.

They had originally intended to accuse Rahlo of attacking the Seven Gods, thereby causing them to lose prestige and alienating the gods of Essos, but they did not expect that he would admit it directly.

The seven gods who had just emerged were expressionless, seemingly unsurprised by Rahlo's words.

"Because you have colluded with the sinful god of Valyria!"

"They betrayed the entire divine realm!"

Then Rahlo made a startling remark.

What exactly happened during the Valyrian catastrophe hundreds of years ago is something no one but those who experienced it can say for sure. The Old Gods only recorded what they saw, and the Drowned Gods saw only fragments as well.

Now, according to Ráhló, the whole incident is gradually being reconstructed.

It was indeed Rahlo who launched the sneak attack on the Seven Gods, nearly killing them, but the Seven Gods escaped. Rahlo himself was also seriously injured and had no intention of fighting the Drowned God, so he had no choice but to let the Seven Gods go.

But what does it mean that the Seven Gods and the Valyrian God of Sin are colluding?

All the gods of Westeros, including Viserys and the Drowned God, turned their gazes toward the Seven Gods who had just emerged.

The Seven Gods have indeed recovered quite a bit, at least regaining their self-awareness. They have been feigning madness for who knows how many years, yet Rahlo still managed to seize the opportunity.

His seven faces—the Father, the Mother, the Warrior, the Maiden, the Blacksmith, the Old Woman, and the Stranger—all remained expressionless, as if they had not understood Rahlo's words.

However, in the next second...

Viserys' expression shifted slightly.

A thick black mist billowed out from behind him in an instant, expanding to a hundred meters in the blink of an eye.

However, this was not the opponent's limit, but merely Viserys' limit. Then, the black mist transformed into the shape of a giant dragon and let out a low roar.

Chapter 917 Black Dragon God

"You've finally come out."

And the giant dragon composed of black mist emerged from behind Viserys.

Viserys, however, was not surprised, because he had already vaguely sensed the other's presence when he was still a mortal.

He is the 'golden finger' hidden within Viserys's body, constantly helping him absorb the black mist to strengthen himself.

This is why Viserys has always been worried about his ability to absorb the black mist, because he is most sensitive to his own body and had already noticed something was wrong.

He strengthens himself by absorbing the souls of the dead; however, with each absorption, half of the souls enters Viserys' body, while the other half disappears, seemingly intercepted by his opponent.

The other party slowly recovered itself by residing in Viserys' body, until it was finally successfully revived the moment Viserys became a god.

When Viserys first came into contact with the Seven Gods, they also told him that a god was hidden within him.

He is Belial, the 'Black Death', the chief of the Valyrian gods. His true form is the first dragon discovered by the Valyrians and worshipped as a totem.

Therefore, Belerion was also the first Valyrian god to become a god. He served as the god of death, devouring the souls of the dead to strengthen himself. His body reached a length of up to a thousand meters, comparable to the Balrog of the underworld.

However, as the head of the Valyrian gods, Belerien was besieged by the gods of Asgard led by R'hllor during the Valyrian catastrophe.

The Seven Gods once fought against Bellerion, but the two gods, whose strength was second only to Rahlo, were actually plotting to rebel against Rahlo's rule. However, Rahlo saw through their scheme and they were ambushed by the Seven Gods.

As the head of the gods in the realm of gods, Rahlo possessed immense power. He single-handedly ambushed two gods second only to him, killing Bellerion and severely injuring the Seven Gods. The Seven Gods then took Bellerion's remnant soul and successfully escaped.

Rahlo originally wanted to give chase, but encountered the Drowning God. Because he was also seriously injured in the battle with the two gods, he had no choice but to let them go.

The Seven Gods then returned to Westeros with the remnant soul of Balerion.

A century after that battle, Aegon the Conqueror suddenly launched a war of conquest against Westeros. The Valyrian Dragon King's army was invincible, sweeping through the armies of the Seven Kingdoms and finally arriving at Oldtown.

The Seven used the remnant soul of Balerion to persuade Aegon the Conqueror to begin worshipping the Seven, thus preventing the Red God's faith from spreading to Westeros.

The Seven's actions led to the Archbishop locking himself in the Starry Church in Oldtown for seven days and seven nights in meditation. When he emerged, he announced that the Church would not oppose Aegon and his sisters, because this was the path the old woman had guided him with the golden lamp. Miraculously, Aegon suddenly converted to the Seven, shocking the world.

In fact, the world of mortals and the world of gods are closely related and interconnected. The actions of the gods will affect the world of mortals, and the changes in the world of mortals will also affect the gods in heaven.

The Seven Gods used the remnant soul of Balerion to persuade the Conquerors. Then, with the help of the Seven Gods, Balerion's remnant soul was attached to the Targaryen kings and their successors, in the hope that a descendant with true dragon blood could awaken the sleeping ancient dragon god.

Unfortunately, the Targaryen family ruled the Seven Kingdoms for hundreds of years, producing dozens of kings, including some wise and powerful rulers, as well as kings who ruled with an iron fist, but none of them possessed the talent to successfully awaken Baelorion's remnant soul.

Then, towards the end of the Targaryen dynasty, after the birth of Prince Rhaegar, the remnant soul of Baelorion separated from the 'Mad King' Aerys II and entered Rhaegar's body.

Rega's talent was astonishing; he successfully awakened part of Bellerion's remnant soul, but unfortunately, he died too young.

After Rhaegar's death, Balerion's remnant soul naturally entered Viserys, who was only seven years old at the time and still in the Red Keep.

Viserys possessed extraordinary innate mental strength due to a special opportunity, and he saw the swirling black mist and handwritten words in Valyrian language in the mirror.

Later, on his way to Duskwood by carriage, Viserys helped Ser William Darryl kill Kevan Lannister. Having absorbed a soul from his first kill, Viserys finally understood the power of his cheat ability and embarked on a miraculous rise to power.

Viserys' rise was aided by the remnant soul of Belerion, and it was for this reason that the black mist would actively enter the black dragon egg. Viserys' mount, Belerion, grew at a much faster rate than the other dragons.

If things had followed the original trajectory, Viserys would not have had the talent to awaken Balerion's remnant soul, and he would have died at the hands of Khal Drogo. Balerion's remnant soul would then have naturally entered the body of the next heir, namely Viserys's sister Daenerys.

Daenerys's talent is exceptional, in no way inferior to Rhaegar's, which may explain why she was able to rise to prominence in the East in the original Trails series.

At that moment, Bellerion's soul separated from Viserys's body and instantly transformed into a hundred-meter-long dragon.

The oldest dragon god of Valyria looked toward Viserys, the black mist churning, and then spoke in a booming Valyrian voice.

"I need to use its body."

The dragon god was referring to Belial, Viserys's mount.

In fact, the black dragon was the reincarnation of the other party, because the dragon god had already injected black mist into it and laid the foundation when it was still a dragon egg.

"rest assured."

"I won't hurt it."

The Black Dragon God seemed to sense Viserys's concerns and added in a booming voice.

The realm of the gods cannot be traversed by the physical body, only by the divine body. However, the black dragon and Viserys, who possess power from the earth, are exceptions. This is why the gods of the realm are so terrified of the power from the earth and want to eliminate it as soon as possible.

Viserys frowned slightly upon hearing the Black Dragon God's words. He was somewhat worried about his companion's condition, but with the Dragon God's assurance, he knew that the battle indeed required the Dragon God's intervention, so he could only nod.

Then the Black Dragon God transformed into a black stream of light, broke through the boundaries of the divine realm, and entered the body of Bellerion in the mortal realm.

Bellerion, who was resting near the old town, suddenly let out a roar that carried far. He flapped his wings and took to the air, and many people in the old town witnessed him.

Bellerion's body was undergoing a dramatic change, growing rapidly, his eyes turning bloodshot, and he was shrouded in a black mist that resembled a demon god before soaring straight into the sky.

Chapter 918 The War of Gods Begins

The Black Dragon God and Bellerion's bodies merged into one, restoring some of their former strength. As a bonus, Bellerion also leaped to the level of a god.

"Ho-"

Thick black fog billowed, obscuring the sky and the sun, as Bellerion transformed from mortal to divine above the old town.

The sky over the old town darkened, and then, amidst the horrified gazes of countless people, it roared and charged straight into the divine realm.

According to a prophecy in the Temple of Immortality, after the Black Dragon died, its soul entered Viserys' body, which likely activated the remnant soul of Balerion. Viserys then became a god and stormed the divine realm to seek revenge.

But at this moment, Belerien, representing the Valyrian gods whose reign had ended, returned via a different route.

"I've been clinging to life for so many years just for this day."

"To avenge my brothers and sisters."

The Black Dragon God entered Bellerion's dragon body and returned to the divine realm. His eyes were blood-red, and his body had swelled to several hundred meters in length.

Although it is not yet at its peak, it is not the only one; none of the gods in the realm of Asgard have reached the strength they possessed before the Valyrian catastrophe.

Strictly speaking, the first civil war in the Divine Realm never truly ended; it simply took a different form and temporarily subsided.

Viserys' ascension to godhood broke this temporary silence, forcing R'hllor to act hastily, otherwise the strength of the Westeros gods would increase, and the balance of power between the two sides would gradually approach equilibrium.

Therefore, this battle is actually just a continuation of the Valyrian catastrophe of yesteryear.

The ancient Valyrian god sought revenge for His brothers and sisters.

The Seven Gods, on the other hand, aim to overthrow Rahlo's rule in Asgard and take his place.

To protect themselves, the Drowned God and the Old Gods, and to eliminate dissidents, Rahlo sought to completely rule the realm of the gods.

As for the gods of Essos who followed him, among the many gods such as the Black Goat God, the Weeping Lady, and the Three-Headed God, there were many evil gods, as well as many ordinary gods who dared not resist Rahlor's rule.

The battle of the gods is about to break out, and two relatively weak gods have arrived on the side of the Westeros gods. They are the goddesses once worshipped by the First Men of the Three Sisters: the Lady of the Waves and the Lord of the Sky.

Rumors circulated that the terrifying storms near the Three Sisters Islands were the result of the storms caused by the waves and the Lord of the Sky.

However, the faith and lineage of these two deities had long been severed, and their own strength had also diminished considerably, no longer what it once was.

Now all the gods of Westeros and members of R'hllor's side have arrived.

On the Westeros side are the Seven Gods, the Drowned God, the Old Gods, Viserys, Balerion, and finally, the Lady of the Waves and the Lord of the Sky.

The number of gods under Rahlo's rule is even greater. In addition to Rahlo, there are also powerful and established gods such as the Black Goat God, Red Bull Akun, Mermaid King, Pale Moon Virgo, Weaver, Seymour and Cicero, the Silent God, the Weeping Lady of Rhys, the Three-Headed God, the Hooded Walker, and the 'Soldier God' Bakaron, also known as the Pale Child, etc.

The horse god worshipped by the Dothraki, the High Shepherd worshipped by the Lazarin, and the mother river Lorne worshipped by the Rhoyna, among others, did not appear in this place.

Fortunately, some of the gods of Essos did not side with R'hllor; otherwise, if the gods of the two continents went to war, Westeros would have had no chance and would have been crushed.
