Mythology: Ragnarok

Chapter 238 The Dragon of the Head

Thus, with Agred's help, the Underdark was rebuilt into a paradise. Although there were still some minor conflicts among the drow elves due to certain ignorant gender nobles, these people were quickly eliminated under Agred's brutal policy of killing them one by one. Although this was ruthless, it solved the problem in the shortest time. A desperate measure was necessary for a serious illness. Furthermore, Agred revised the history of the drow elves and placed a curse on the previous generation of elves, refusing to instill the gender antagonism of the past in the next generation of drow elf children. All that remained was time for these problems to fade and eventually be erased.

Although these methods were not honorable, Agred had no other choice. This was the solution he had confirmed after countless deductions, which resulted in the fewest deaths and was the simplest method. The drow elves who benefited from this did not hold a grudge against Agred or rebel in anger. After all, they were not stupid; who would go against a ruler who transcended the biological realm?

When Agreed arrived and saw that the Underdark was as peaceful as it had been two years ago, he breathed a sigh of relief. He was genuinely afraid that gender antagonism would lead to another racial civil war. After all, the ones who ultimately suffer are the ordinary people who were indifferent to these things from the beginning and just wanted to live a good life. They clearly didn't care about rights or status; they just wanted to live their lives. But when war broke out, those in the buffer zone were the ones who suffered the most. After all, if you didn't take a stand, you were the enemy. Those troublemakers didn't care whether you were innocent or not; all they cared about was how much they could gain from the conflict.

Therefore, Agred specifically established the Protector Plan. Spirits constantly record and observe the neutral individuals among them. Currently, the total population of the Drow elves is four million, but only eight hundred thousand are neutral. The core of the Protector Plan is: 'In case of unforeseen circumstances, I don't mind if the Dark Elf race is reduced to only eight hundred thousand!' In other words, anyone who is restless and causes trouble deserves to die!!

Furthermore, Agred also publicly informed all the drow elves about the Protector Plan. Agred didn't have time to play any games with them; he simply made his stance clear. The drow elves were also very honest and behaved themselves after that. Sometimes life is like that; if you don't scare them a little, they'll really think you're easy to bully.

Argreed was overjoyed to see the Underdark developing steadily as he had envisioned. He then presented Roland with a stealth-type piece of equipment called the 'Night Cloak' as a reward before leaving. Afterward, he arrived at the entrance to the Underdark leading to the Netherworld, where Hydra and the Abyssal Hydra were guarding the pass to prevent monsters from the Netherworld from coming here.

When Agreed arrived, the Hydra instantly transformed from a ferocious behemoth into a gentle and adorable neighborly pet, affectionately rubbing against Agreed's clone in hopes of gaining its master's favor.

Agreed patted the head that had come closer and comforted him, saying, "Alright, alright, I know it's been tough keeping you here. I just came to keep you company and, while I'm at it, to give you a stroke of good fortune."

Upon hearing that there was more to come, Hydra immediately jumped for joy. Agreed gestured for him to calm down and told him to stay put. Hydra immediately obeyed and stood still, waiting for his master's favor.

Argreed is going to give Hydra a complete makeover. He referenced the Hundred-Headed Dragon, a monster created by another giant god in the ignorant quest to surpass Io, as a blueprint. He incorporated the red, silver (both provided by Otto), green, brass, and blue dragons that Argreed currently possessed as the base to create the Hundred-Headed Dragon form. To ensure Hydra's growth potential, Argreed left a large blank space in the Hundred-Headed Dragon template, allowing Hydra to later devour the superior genes of other creatures to evolve and gain the superior functions of hundreds of genes.

However, it is a jack-of-all-trades and master of none. Although it has many powerful abilities, according to Agreed's optimistic estimate, Hydra will only grow to the level of a prodigy at its highest level. But there is nothing that can be done about it, after all, this is the best evolutionary path that Agreed can come up with for Hydra.

So Agreed took out the various materials for the evolution ritual and the purified bloodline from his own space. As the ritual was about to begin, Agreed looked at Hydra and comforted him, "It might hurt a little, you'll have to bear it."

Hydra snorted indifferently, indicating that there was no need to worry.

Seeing this, Agreed immediately initiated the ritual, and the bloodlines of several dragons and other species were integrated into the Hydra's body. The Hydra didn't even flinch and smoothly grew into the prototype of a hundred-headed dragon. After the ritual was completed, Agreed stroked the hundred-headed dragon's heads that were leaning towards him and said, "You are now a legendary-level behemoth. I've given you a new name, how about Ladon? Although there's another creature with the same name as you, it doesn't matter. Once I conquer the World Tree, this name will belong only to you."

After completing its evolution and gaining intelligence and communication abilities, Ladon responded sweetly, "I will obey you, my supreme master. Ladon is willing to fight alongside you into the World Tree. Ladon will follow you for the rest of my life."

Agreed, somewhat bewildered, patted Ladon's head and said, "Ladon, I need you to take the Abyss Multi-Headed Lizard clan to the Inner Earth to collect the bloodline of the Black Dragon clan. This way, you can also obtain the bloodline of the Black Dragon clan. Now, I also need the essence blood of the Black Dragon to enhance the Minotaur."

Upon hearing this, Ladon immediately stood up and excitedly shouted, "Don't worry, Master, I will definitely slaughter the Black Dragon Clan and bring their corpses back to you!"

Agreed quickly stopped him, saying, "Don't be impulsive. First, take the Abyssal Hydralisk into the inner world and establish a foothold. When I arrive, I will send people to support you. We will try to gain benefits with minimal cost. I can't joke with your and your people's lives, can I?"

Ladon quickly said in his somewhat childish voice, "Master, I'm very strong now! You can believe me, I definitely can do it."

Agreed commanded in an unquestionable tone, "No, if you continue to disobey, I won't let you go to the Inner Earth."

Ladon had no choice but to lower his head and obediently say, "Alright, I will do as you command."

Agreed nodded in satisfaction, then played with Ladon for a while before giving him many instructions and sending him into the Earth's core. After arranging everything, Agreed immediately returned to the Death Desert to check on the development of Tiga's territory.
