Golden Dragon: Six Thousand Years of Empire-Chapter 822 - 458: Sky Tyrant Osiris, Annihilation of a Nation and Bloodline Extinction (Part 2)

In his view, this was an opportunity, a once in a lifetime chance for the family to embark on total glory, embracing unprecedented splendor in his hands.

Under his guidance, the Yarden Family might well become a legendary family that could endure through centuries and retain its honor.

Of course, the family might also be dragged into oblivion in the dust of history due to his madness, leaving no trace, completely erased by the Kingdom.

But who can accurately predict the future? Once high and mighty, unrestrained in their dominance, even now, the Continent's overlord must also look up to and revere a presence, show loyalty to it.

The Yarden Family could leverage this presence's existence, even if just a glimpse of its glory, to rise to the clouds and become a legendary family that shakes the continent.

At this moment, similar to the Yarden Family, all around the Five Directions Continent, there were smaller countries and independent forces who welcomed great surprises but, after calming down, were filled with fear and unease, too numerous to count.

But as the Yarden Family concluded after their discussions, they had no choice; they could only accept the Holy Dragon's gifts, express their determination and will to follow the Holy Dragon, dedicate all their loyalty so that they could maintain the family's continuity and ensure future prosperity and flourishing.

This was an overtly grand scheme. Those with a little political wisdom could see clearly that the Holy Dragon Noah was weakening the major nations while forcing smaller countries to become his vassals.

However, there was plenty of maneuvering space within, for example, smaller countries could secretly conspire with bigger ones, officially accepting, while actually continuing to adhere to the former rule of the larger nations, simply putting up a facade.

As the saying goes, there is always a countermeasure to every policy. The best ideas need to accord with the actual situation to be effectively implemented. Therefore, to prevent such occurrences, Noah dispatched his Favored, conducting open visits and clandestine investigations to determine if there was any occurrence of insincere compliance with open defiance.

Once he discovered someone trying to distort the orders he issued or steal his gifts, Noah would not hesitate to exhibit his iron-blooded methods.

He is currently acknowledged as the Lord of the World respected by nations, but Noah knows himself how hollow such a title is; under his control, the actual land doesn't even account for one-fifth, let alone half.

Those Kingdoms occupying a section of the Continent and running rampant only need to express submission and pay tribute every year, but how could Noah be content with this?

Thus, using tribute as a pretext, employ methods similar to rewarding with gold, breaking the previous regional balance of the continents, redistributing benefits, so that Noah's influence could permeate and take root, constructing a true Golden Order led by him.

"Haha, good! Good! There truly is a Kingdom that treats my rewards as nothing, views my existence as insignificant, such audacity!"

In the Holy Temple high in the Sky Dome, Noah, deeming himself as the ruler of nations and performing related duties, laughed in extreme anger while looking at the investigation report presented by the Fairy Favored.

Noah originally thought some major nation, relying on its national strength, intimidated smaller ones into not accepting his rewards bestowed in the name of the Holy Dragon; such was tolerable. Yet, he didn't anticipate that a major country dared to be so brazen.

A family that was rewarded for offering Void Crystals had its entire clan wiped out overnight, nearly three thousand seven hundred family members from the Family Head to servants with related bloodlines, none survived.

The Kingdom responsible for all of this even dared to brazenly arrange relevant individuals to disguise themselves as main members of the family through Transformation Technique or Illusion Technique, continuing to maintain the original rule.

"Your Majesty, how should we handle this matter?"

The Dragon Elf, who submitted the report, gazed at the supreme divine presence of His Majesty the Dragon King before her, eyes full of eagerness and anticipation.

Because the answer from the Holy Dragon Emperor was affirmative; no one understood this majesty's Favored better than they, the Fairies. Any attempt by someone to play tricks in front of this majesty would definitely not end well.

Especially for such atrocious conduct. Annihilating a family that recently received the Holy Dragon Emperor's approval and commendation to the point where not a trace of bloodline remains, such cruel and brutal conduct, how could the emperor possibly let a kingdom deemed disloyal off the hook?

"Deem it as treason, destroy the nation, break the cities, all involved must be executed, without missing anyone."

Noah's dragon eyes were like the grand sun suspended in the Sky Dome, indifferent, emitting scorching radiance.

This is not merely a minor vassal being annihilated, but a Kingdom using this opportunity to test his majesty, an absolutely intolerable, inexcusably lenient action.

"However, the strength of the Pegasus Kingdom is not weak. According to our investigation, this kingdom enshrines thirteen legends, including two near Saints, with one having even gathered Divinity, possessing potential to become an Ascender."

"This is likely the reason why the Pegasus Kingdom dared to provoke me. In this case, not a legend needs to be left."

Noah noted the troubled expression in the Fairy's eyes below, pondering particularly on how to handle the two Promoters, especially the tricky one with Ascension potential,

"I will arrange for the Sky Tyrant Osiris to assist you all!"

"Your Majesty is wise!"

Hearing Noah assigning them the main force for annihilating the kingdom, the fairies felt a great sense of relief, their spirits lifted with joy.

This is one of the three Giant Beasts that came to pay homage to the Holy Dragon Emperor and pledged allegiance, and it's the fastest among them.

"Go!"

Noah did not expect that even after he conducted the sacrificial ceremony in plain view and performed a public Transformation, there would still be a Kingdom daring to resist him in secret, playing little tricks.

Perhaps this was just the thought of short-sighted individuals within that Kingdom's power, not representing the entirety, but Noah didn't care. He didn't wish for the Fairies to conduct further investigation; up to this point was sufficient.

Now, what he needed was a Kingdom to act as a sacrifice for him to showcase his iron-blood slaughter methods, letting nations with differing ideas understand the consequences of defying his will, oppositions to his intentions.

As for the World Will, sorry, the World Will doesn't care about such matters, just like Noah didn't care whether the Yarden Family, which received his gifts, was secretly wiped out by part of the Pegasus Kingdom's power or through a unanimous decision.

A Giant Beast, vested with the rank of World Guardian, was dispatched. Even a true Demigod would find it somewhat challenging to contend against them, since these beings don't experience exhaustion or similar concepts.

Therefore, the downfall of Pegasus Kingdom proceeded without any hitches. The thirteen legends were promptly marked by the Fairies, and thereafter, under the guidance of the Fairies, they were entirely swallowed by Osiris, the Sky Tyrant as named by Noah.

From the world's perspective, this war of annihilation had no impact on the world, merely a shift of matter and energy, causing minimal damage and destruction to the world itself.

However, despite the Sky Tyrant Osiris's nation annihilation being as bland as a meal, the waves it stirred swept through the world like a tsunami, shocking the nations, causing panic even among the previously proud and slightly arrogant Kingdom powers.

This is because the reason behind this Kingdom's demise was, to some extent, ludicrously trivial, merely due to being disrespectful to the Holy Dragon, irreverent to the heavens.

A Kingdom that had persisted for nearly a millennium vanished from history, and from the current situation, there seemed no possibility of its restoration. Such punishment was incredibly severe and cruel.

However, those powers slightly knowledgeable about the inside story found the Kingdom's downfall reasons disconcertingly trivial, it was merely surrendering a border region rich in resources, even if surrendered, what harm was there? Yet, they insisted on employing disgraceful means, leading to the Kingdom's demise as well.
