Global Lords: Hundredfold Increments Starting With the Undead-Chapter 1253 - 843 Dragon Queen Loyalty

“Yes, my lord.”

The guard left swiftly.

Soon, the three women walked in one after the other.

They each took their previous seats.

Dragon Queen was the first to speak, “What’s the matter?”

The other two also directed their gazes at him simultaneously.

Fang Hao gestured slightly, and two Bound Spirit Guardians moved a round table to the center of the group.

As the three women watched with full curiosity, Fang Hao took out the Divine Fragments one by one.

“Besides the prisoner’s gear we obtained last, this is another type of spoils; let’s discuss and divide them up.”

The three frowned and examined for a while.

“Are these the things that fell from the statue? What do they do?” asked Isabella, curious.

Fang Hao now confirmed that none of the three recognized the Divine Fragments.

Rolana had seen them but didn’t know their use.

According to the system’s description.

Divine Fragments come from the fragmentation of Divinity, or are separated by some method.

Meaning, even though they are demigods, they haven’t reached the level of interacting with Divine Fragments yet.

Fang Hao explained, “You know about Divinity, right? These are fragments separated from a deity’s Divinity; after consuming a fragment, you can obtain part of the power within it.”

Dragon Queen and Isabella’s eyes widened suddenly.

Rolana also showed surprise, but not as exaggerated as the other two.

“You’re saying, these are fragments formed from a shattered divinity of a deity?” Dragon Queen inquired.

Divinity is the power core of a deity.

Naturally, fragments broken off would also contain formidable power.

“Not necessarily shattered; there could also be a way to separate it,” Fang Hao continued to explain.

Dragon Queen and Isabella looked at him with serious expressions.

Even as demigods, they were still too distant from the realm of gods.

They were astonished but understood that this must be true.

Indeed, Fang Hao had managed to turn Rolana into a demigod within a month.

He had also faced a head-on confrontation with Dragon Queen.

Various proofs showed that Fang Hao knew knowledge about the gods that they did not understand.

Dragon Queen looked at her daughter across from her and then said, “Why would you tell us this? Wouldn’t it be better for you to keep it for yourself?”

Fang Hao shook his head, chest held high, and revealed a righteous expression, “We are allies, and you all took part in today’s battle; naturally, the spoils should be divided equally.”

“I didn’t see it coming, but you do have some characteristics of a lord,” Dragon Queen said with a smile.

Isabella remarked from the side, “How do we divide them? You decide.”

“There are six in total; one for each of the three of you, one for ‘Cleolando’—today’s female transmigrator; and as the leader who organized this battle and won, I will take two. That’s fair, right?”

“In the battle, the three of us exerted our efforts, yet you’re taking two?” Dragon Queen said, arms crossed, continuing to speak.

Fang Hao flashed a smile, “After obtaining the Divine Fragment, do you know how to use it?”

That,…

Dragon Queen was struck silent, saying no more.

Isabella nodded, “Alright, I agree with this division. What should we do next?”

Fang Hao explained the attributes of the various fragments one by one.

Then he said, “These are the few attributes. You can also distinguish by color; choose what benefits you.”

The three considered the fragments and then made their selections.

Dragon Queen chose a physical endurance fragment, Isabella took a water element fragment, and Rolana, having already consumed an earth element Divinity, also chose an earth fragment.

Fang Hao collected the remaining three fragments.

“Now, tell us how we should absorb them,” Dragon Queen continued.

“Guide the fragments into your body by channeling the power of your Divinity, and let it integrate into your Divinity, bit by bit. Don’t rush.”

The three followed the instructions, and the Divine Fragments in their hands, as if being drawn, merged into their bodies.

The absorption was rapid.

The fragments dissolved into energy and vanished into their palms.

At the same time, delight was unmistakably written on their faces.

Suddenly, a system voice boomed in his ear.

[Zenith Blazing Sun – Tiralte has developed a sense of recognition towards you; Loyalty has increased by 10 points, the current Loyalty is 33%.]

In an instant, Fang Hao’s brows furrowed.

Loyalty had surfaced.

And through a new way, at that.

Recognition!

This meant she was gradually changing her impression of him.

If the Loyalty continued to rise, she might become a hero within his domain.

It seems that giving away the Divine Fragments was the right decision.

The three women were still enthralled in excitement. For demigods, such an opportunity to enhance their Divinity was rare.

Fang Hao said, “When you return, try to familiarize yourselves with it. In a few days, we’ll truly face the God of Deception.”

Mentioning the God of Deception, the three’s faces turned serious again.

After nodding, they turned and left straight away.

…

Once everyone had left.

Fang Hao was left alone in the large hall.

Of the three remaining fragments, there were fire, earth, and thunder.

Without further hesitation, he immediately proceeded to absorb them.

The enhancement of the three demigods was essential, but his own improvement was even more crucial; the strength of the entire domain was tightly linked to his identity.

[You can devour Divine Fragments, do you wish to devour?]

Devour.

The crystal-clear Divine Fragments transformed into three powerful streams of energy and merged directly into the soul.

That warm energy, merging into the Divinity, was still vividly felt.

[Successfully integrated ‘Divine Fragment’, your Power of Faith has been enhanced.]

[Unlocked traits: Immunity to Flame, Spirit of Flame, Thunder Elemental Spirit, Immunity to Soil, Mastery of Soil, The Messenger of Storms, Understanding of Thunder Elemental.]

…

[Immunity to Flame]: Effects like burning, fire poison, and spreading caused by flame elements will not take effect.

[Spirit of Flame]: The effects of flame-related Skills increase by an additional +20%.

[Thunder Elemental Spirit]: On the divine-blessed land, flame magic +8%, blacksmithing/craftsmanship +5%.

[Immunity to Soil]: Effects like soil poison, rotting, and soil elemental curses will not take effect.

[Mastery of Soil]: The effects of soil-related Skills increase by an additional +20%.

[The Messenger of Storms]: Deliver divine decrees in storms.

[Understanding of Thunder Elemental]: The effects of thunder elemental Skills increase by an additional +20%.

After a successful devouring, the unlocked abilities also appeared instantaneously.

I took a quick glance, and the effectiveness of fire, soil, and thunder elemental Skills had increased.

The only peculiar trait unlocked was [The Messenger of Storms].

It enables the delivery of divine decrees in storms.

It sounds pretty cool, but when I think about it carefully, it seems somewhat useless.

…

I am quite satisfied with the effects of devouring the fragment.

I opened the Book of Lords casually and found ‘Lin Bill’ in the list of friends.

Last time, I learned some things about the Space Realm from him.

Fang Hao was looking for him this time because he had some questions he wanted to ask.

He opened the private messaging box and composed and sent a message.

“Mr. Lin, I have some more questions for you.”

Soon, he replied, “Mr. Fang Hao, please ask!”

“Today, I stumbled upon a stele inscribed with the word ‘Godspawn’ and would like to know if there are any related records.”

More than ten minutes passed.

The other party finally responded, “Mr. Fang Hao, my teacher is curious where you saw it, he’s very interested in archaeology.”

Nice, the other party was also keen on archaeology.

After a brief thought, I replied: “It was in the Undead Desert, but unfortunately, during the internal strife among the transmigrators, the ancient tomb underneath the desert was destroyed and is now buried under the sand.”

The other party didn’t insist but continued to explain: “Godspawn refers to an unintended and unpredictable product of Divine Power. They possess power close to or even surpassing that of gods, often with twisted and bizarre appearances that are hard to comprehend.”

Wow!

That’s intense!

If we’re talking about a regular game, these Godspawns are akin to monsters on par with gods.

Knowing this, Fang Hao had no more questions to ask.

“Thanks, I understand now.” Fang Hao showed his gratitude and sent two gifts in return.

Looking at it now, the level of these Godspawns is comparable to that of gods.

I have to be careful not to release one accidentally and get burned.

Night fades in gradually.

Rolana walked in from outside.

She went up the stairs, turned to look at him, and coughed softly.

Fang Hao understood and followed her upstairs.

First, I’ll accompany Rolana, then before sleep, be with Eira and Little White, and check on Yuanyuan and Hongguo later in the night.

After becoming a god, my body clearly feels much better than before.

…

The next day.

Fang Hao was surrounded by a bevy of maids as he inspected the domain.

Chattering about where to place such a large Nightstone to good use.

The Lord’s mansion obviously has no need for such a large one.

If we really put it inside, the light from the Lord’s mansion at night might be like throwing a flash grenade.

Some suggest putting it in the amusement park.

But the amusement park is outside the city, and I’m afraid someone might covet and steal it.

After much thought, the decision was made to place it in the square at the center of the Undead Industrial District, which could illuminate the surrounding area.

I called the Skeleton Blacksmith to ask him to build a high tower to prop up the Nightstone.

Giving the appearance of a man-made sun.

I had just given a couple of instructions when the Book of Lords suddenly transmitted a sound from the Sound-transmitting Shell.

I sat down and took out the shell.

The tag on it said ‘Young Master Eugene of the Elf Clan’.

This was a local young City Lord I met in the Elf Clan Territory, and we had signed a mining agreement for the Mithril Mine.

I picked it up and put it to my ear.

Eugene’s voice came through immediately, “Mr. Fang, the first batch of ore has been mined, I want to inform you about the quantity mined and our subsequent plans.”

Fang Hao grunted in acknowledgment.

The other party went through the details carefully.

I wasn’t listening too carefully, as I wasn’t really concerned with these yields and revenues.

Before, I wanted to buy up these Mithril Mines myself, but now that I can farm resources, I no longer need to purchase from outside.

After listening to the report, Fang Hao directly said, “Oh, Young Master Eugene, I want to inquire about something.”

“Oh? Mr. Fang, feel free to ask.”

“Have you heard of the Elf Clan’s ‘Eternal Heart’ ring? Do you have access to buy it?” Fang Hao asked.

“The Eternal Heart is a piece of jewelry produced by the Elf Clan in earlier years; it has been discontinued now. Although it occasionally appears on the market, the prices are hyperinflated, far exceeding the value of the item itself, and it’s more like a collectible to showcase the status of nobility.”

Eugene, being the current lord of a city and managing a trading company, is fairly knowledgeable about these things.

When he says hyperinflated, it means the item’s price far exceeds its value.

After hearing this, Fang Hao said directly, “Help me acquire three, we can discuss the price.”

“Understood, Mr. Fang, I’ll make the arrangements and get back to you as soon as possible.”

“Okay.”

After a brief chat, I put away the shell.

I stood up and continued to discuss with the Skeleton Blacksmith whether to construct an iron tower or something else.

To raise the Nightstone up.
