Mythology: Ragnarok

Chapter 226 Ruling the Continent

After unleashing a round of attacks, Bahamut's divine clone also stopped attacking due to exhaustion. Seeing this, Agreed rushed over, grabbed Bahamut's tail, and sucked Bahamut into his mouth like a noodle.

Bahamut struggled frantically to escape, but Agreed's gaping maw was like a black hole from which there was no escape. Even though Bahamut's body was long and slender, at this rate, his divine clone would probably be swallowed whole by Agreed in just three minutes.

At this moment, Agreed did not forget to mock, using telepathy to provoke, "Is this all you've got? Bahamut is nothing special either. It seems that the great Five-Colored Dragon Queen will devour you sooner or later and restore the glory of my dragon god race!"

In the end, Bahamut's divine clone was swallowed by Agreed with a look of resentment in its eyes. And as Agreed expected, Bahamut did not recognize him this time. After all, he had directly sided with Tiamat from the beginning. According to conventional thinking, anyone would mistake Agreed for an experimental product created by Tiamat. Moreover, as the origin of the metal dragon, Bahamut would be even more convinced of this guess.

Tiamat is currently under Agreed's control and cannot leave Hell, which means there is no way to verify Agreed's false identity. Therefore, it can only be temporarily assumed to be true, since Bahamut wouldn't be foolish enough to go into Hell to confront Tiamat.

The demon lords of Hell are no joke. If Bahamut dared to go in, Tiamat and the Seven Deadly Sins would dare to devour him. No god in Hell dares to challenge the demons, not even if Odin moved Asgard there.

With the blessing of the Soul Sea, even the strongest god, Zeus, could only emerge from Hell lying down. Therefore, Bahamut could not possibly verify Agreed's identity and could only guess. But without any clues, what could he possibly find out? By the time Bahamut actually guesses Agreed's identity, it will be at least a hundred years later. By then, Agreed will be certain that he will be invincible in the prime material universe!

After swallowing Bahamut, Agred really couldn't eat anymore. Agred's stomach was filled with the power of the World Tree Root and Bahamut. Bahamut's power was like water poured into his stomach, completely filling all the space in his stomach. This made Agred feel uncomfortable. However, Agred knew that he could not fall asleep now. He had to finish dealing with the matters in the Underdark.

Over the next few days, Agreed entrusted the development and governance of this continent entirely to Tiga and Warwick. Meanwhile, Anubis was in the heart of the Death Desert as ordered. Agreed instructed his various camps to send all corpses from now on to the heart of the desert, where Anubis would then transform them into undead to serve as cheap labor for developing farmland and transforming the desert environment.

After drafting the desert development plan and handing it over to Tiga, Agreed immediately took Otto and Warwick back to the southern border, bringing along the troll 'Pukin' and his troll warriors. Then, Agreed went to the oasis forest to bring Tarog back with him to the grey dwarf dungeon under the Minotaur's control.

The portal opened, and Agreed, Warwick, Pugin, Otto, Tarog and the troll warriors entered the dungeon with an overwhelming presence. This time, Agreed did not bring Otto's men because the underground world was not very large, and flying units would not have much of an advantage.

The Minotaur, of course, had been waiting for a long time. As soon as Agred appeared, he immediately came forward, cupped his hands and said, "Master, you have arrived. A total of 25,412 warriors from the Minotaur, the Abyss Hydralisk, and the Dwarf race await your command."

Agreed waved his hand and said, "Alright, stop with the formalities. I've said it many times. Come over here and I'll give you a general outline of our strategy for attacking the Underdark."

So the monster leaders surrounded Agred, awaiting their wise master's instruction. Agred waved his dragon claw, and a sandbox of the underworld appeared before them. Pointing to an area on the upper level, Agred said, "This is our current location, situated in the upper part of the underworld, and also the central hub connecting the underworld to the surface world. If the races of the Underdark want to expand upwards, they only have two choices: either attack here to open a passage, or spend at least forty years and risk the collapse of the underworld to reopen a passage to the surface world. This is why the orcs and drow elves chose to attack us, because passing through here is the safest and easiest method."

Then, Agreed marked the center of the sand table and said, "This is the Underdark, where the orcs and drow elves live. It's located in the heart of the underworld and is the darkest region on this planet. The harsh environment couldn't support the explosive population growth, forcing these two races to expand outwards. Moreover, according to my intelligence, the drow elves are incredibly powerful because they have the help of gods. They even have what is arguably the most developed capital city on the planet in the Underdark. So our first target is the orcs. After all, they only like head-on confrontations, and they are very easy to deal with when we have an absolute advantage in strength."

Then, Agreed pointed to the lowest level of the underground world and said, "This is the inner world that I don't plan to touch right now. It's actually brighter than the surface world because the Earth's core serves as its sun. The gravity here is extremely chaotic, which often breeds terrifying behemoths that shouldn't exist in nature. Moreover, according to Lingzi's reconnaissance, spirit flayers live here, and there are also large intelligent life forms such as cyclops, teraqua, mountain giants, ancient tree spirits, and black dragons. Overall, the inner world is full of powerful beings and it's not easy to make a move here, so I plan to leave this place for later."

After saying that, Agreed put away the sand table and continued to give instructions: "Minotaur, you and Pugin will lead the Dragonhorn Legion to be responsible for the orcish campaign. Remember, surrender but don't kill them. Just subdue the orcs; they still have value. Otto, Warwick, and Tarog, you guys come with me. We'll first find out about the drow elves' situation. For some reason, the spirit seems to be covered by something, preventing it from observing the internal situation of the drow elf capital."

Okay, that's about all I wanted to say. Did you understand?

The monsters nodded and replied, "Understood."

Agreed then grinned menacingly and said, "Very well, let's begin. It's time for this continent to be completely under my rule!" So the Minotaur and the Hydra led their massive armies away from the Grey Dwarfs' dungeons and marched towards the Darklands below. And this time, another bloody storm was about to sweep across the land below.
