The Red Dragon Just Wants To Do As It Pleases-Chapter 528 - 320: Encircled City

Immediately, Tiamat’s smile vanished. She looked at David and asked, "Explain?"

She had Chosen Ones, but she had never appointed so-called honorary Chosen Ones.

Yet the Divine Mark before her eyes was real. This was interesting.

David, hearing this, surveyed the circle of Chromatic Dragons who dared not speak, yet had all pricked up their webbed ears, and asked, "Is this a good place to talk?"

"Follow me."

Tiamat unfolded her wings, enveloped David within them, and vanished from the spot.

All that was left behind was a group of bewildered Chromatic Dragons, standing there utterly clueless.

However, before they could even discuss this ’earth-shattering gossip,’ a ’snap’ from the tip of Tiamat’s tail left the dragons, once filled with curiosity and a thirst for scandal, with dull and vacant eyes.

It was as if the shocking scene that had just jolted their draconic hearts had been completely erased from their minds.

At the same time, as the darkness dispersed, David found himself in what appeared to be a paradoxical, Myriad-Color Temple—an Evil Scale Fortress located on the Prime Material Plane.

"Actually, my soul comes from another world." Since he had decided to lay his cards on the table, David got straight to the point.

Yet he still held some things back; for instance, that this wasn’t his first time transmigrating.

To David’s surprise, Tiamat showed no sign of amazement upon hearing this. Her eyes narrowed slightly as she said, "As I suspected."

David was rather taken aback by how easily she accepted this ’premise.’

Tiamat, as if sensing David’s thoughts, said with a laugh, "It’s not surprising, nor strange. Before this world was born, my soul also came from another world, named Babylon." 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

"..." David opened his mouth, speechless.

Then, a torrent of unspoken objections surged in his mind.

According to what his mother, Pafila, had realized and described after her ascension to godhood, she was also something of a transmigrator...

So, was this world actually a sieve?

He quickly regained his composure. "Thank you for sharing this with me. With that in mind, Your Majesty will undoubtedly find it easier to understand my experiences and the mission I bring."

「In the days that followed」

David began to narrate stories from another world to Tiamat, much like a Bard.

And Tiamat listened intently, as focused as a CEO completely engrossed in a lecture by a corporate trainer.

Compared to the Tiamat from the other world thirty thousand years later, this Dragon Queen was different. Having not yet experienced the twin blows of the Dragonfall War and the Dragon Mad Lock, she was visibly more youthful, full of vigor, and her sharp, imposing aura was almost palpable, brimming with vitality.

However, this female Boss overseeing all Chromatic Dragons had one infuriating habit that greatly annoyed David.

She loved to interrupt him midway, then have David elaborate on certain details or provide clarifications according to her wishes.

For instance, the Starlight Dragon Frenzy Shackles that the Elves were presumably preparing.

This explosive piece of information, which foretold the eventual destruction of dragon civilization and the shackling of dragons for thirty thousand years, inevitably captured the Dragon Queen’s utmost attention.

Another example was her rival from Babylon, Bahamut.

The Dragon Queen appeared quite displeased and unconvinced that she had been bested by him so many times.

And then, there was everything concerning Pafila.

David could see that even though Pafila only existed in another world, merely listening to his descriptions was enough to pique Tiamat’s immense interest in this ’follower’—an interest that manifested as intense covetousness.

David could even sense a hint of... jealousy in her words and actions! Jealousy that the Tiamat of another world had been fortunate enough to possess such an outstanding successor.

And soon, David felt that similar interest was now directed at him.

As their conversation drew to a close, Tiamat reclined on the Myriad-Color Throne like a lazy cat, her eyes narrowed to slits, their expression inscrutable to David. "Very well," she said. "Now, there remains but one last question."

"Please, ask." David showed the necessary sincerity and the minimum required respect towards this ’friend’ he absolutely had to win over.

"How do I confirm that everything you’ve said is true?"

David was about to reply with a smile that ’time will prove everything.’ After all, in his twenty-five years in this world, he had never found the slightest clue that the Elves were planning to subvert dragon rule.

But then he heard Tiamat continue, "And how do I know you’re not the Bahamut you spoke of, my ’old friend’...

"Marduk, huh?

"After all, if I can come here, so can he. Besides, in the other world, he has already proven this point, hasn’t he?"

David stared in stunned silence at Tiamat, a wry smile playing on her lips. The Dragon Queen certainly has a wild imagination! he thought. After all, that old scoundrel Bahamut was definitely capable of pulling off such a despicable stunt!

However, Tiamat pondered for a moment. Perhaps it was because she had fewer grievances with Bahamut in this world, or maybe other doubts surfaced in her mind. Then, she raised her five dragon heads and said, "Nevertheless, even if you are Marduk, it doesn’t prevent us from collaborating to address this potential threat. What are your plans? Tell me your strategy."

Tiamat’s erratic and cunning line of reasoning was an eye-opener for David, yet he still answered, "Of course, it is to follow Your Majesty’s will and temporarily suppress this conflict.

"If the Dragonfall War does not break out, even if the Elves’ Starlight Dragon Frenzy Shackles are complete, they would most likely not risk deploying them immediately."
