Evil Dragon: The young dragon I picked up keeps planning on becoming an empress

Chapter 459 283: Nether Blood Sea? This is Lance's Domain?!

After successively defeating powerful contenders from six royal families, even if Lance had no such intentions, other strong members of the Demon Race from the abyss would subconsciously gather around him, probing Lance to see if he aspired to become the Demon Emperor.

If they sensed this ambition, they would observe Lance for a while to ascertain his qualifications for the throne. Only then might they choose to serve him, helping Lance unite the abyss, and in doing so, rise as new nobility within it.

Lance probably hadn't considered this, or perhaps he had but didn't take it to heart. After all, he had emphasized two or three times that his return was to take his dragon cub back to the Human World, not to seek dominion over the abyss.

Fortunately, for the moment, he hadn't yet defeated Serestia of The Blood Clan or Abaluo the Night Elf. We hope that these two can defeat Lance; if they cannot, it might truly indicate Lance's eligibility for contesting the throne of Demon Emperor.

One does not necessarily need a royal bloodline to qualify for a shot at the throne; strength alone, enough to dominate all royal families of the abyss and to win the support of most of its Demon Race, would suffice.

One-on-one victories over the heirs of the abyss's great royal families are but the most basic condition.

Next came the challenge of facing multiple adversaries, the capacity to overpower all royal heirs in battle simultaneously. In such a fray, all royal heirs attack the demon aspiring to become the Demon Emperor.

If every royal heir assailed Lance and still couldn't defeat him, then it was not that he simply qualified as a contender.

But that he was already a candidate for the Demon Emperor.

Should Lance go on to defeat the veteran powerhouses of the abyss's great royal families, conquer those legendary figures, and secure their loyalty, then Lance would, at that point, be the abyss's Demon Emperor.

Lance's recent conduct had provoked a jumble of thoughts in Andrews, Justin, Bessary, and Bronya.

They even vaguely suspected that Lance's appearance in the abyss was precisely to overpower their various royal families and ascend to the throne.

Despite Lance claiming his visit to the abyss was to retrieve the dragon cub that had fallen there and take it back to the Human World, his display of power was... simply too dominant.

"First you mastered the Medusa Clan's Petrification Technique, now you've got my Succubus Clan's charm technique, Illusion Technique, and mental attacks down pat. Just how much did you manage to pilfer from us back in the day?

The Demon Race's 'Demon's Eye', the Fallen Angel Clan's 'Angel's Epic', the Night Elf Clan's 'Spatial Dimensional Slash,' and The Blood Clan's 'Embrace Technique,' did you learn all of that?"

Succubus Bronya took a deep breath, suppressing the urge to attack Lance, her gaze locked intensely on his eyes. She wanted to know if this guy really had mastered the Innate Divine Abilities of the six royal families.

"'Pilfer' sounds a bit harsh. I acquired these abilities through reading, speculation, and a series of experiments, slowly mastering techniques that seem quite similar to your innate divine abilities.

You should be aware that your six royal families' Innate Divine Abilities can never be perfectly replicated by another race.

Take the 'Embrace Technique' you just mentioned; no amount of reading is going to allow me to deduce that particular divine skill... unless I become a vampire, no... to be precise, even if I were transformed into one of The Blood Clan, I wouldn't be able to master The Blood Clan's 'Embrace Technique.'"

He wanted a daughter; either to have one with a future wife or to adopt one.

He was delighted raising the dragon cub he had found.

He figured in a few decades, or maybe a century, the dragon cub would start calling him 'daddy' or 'father.'

Black Dragon daddy.

Black Dragon father.

Hmm...

'Father' does sound a bit better, doesn't it?

"You've admitted not mastering 'Embrace Technique,' but what about the Night Elf Clan's 'Spatial Dimensional Slash'? Have you?"

"No."

Spatial Dimensional Slash is a kind of space magic that allows one to traverse the void in a short time. Besides the Night Elves, only certain divine beasts, magical beasts, or some Space Mages from the Human World have this ability.

There is a distinction between short-duration travel through the void and the ability to move through it at will.

Creatures that can traverse the void at will belong to the realm of the void; they spell trouble whether they appear in the abyss or in the Human World.

"Krastihela, Tiji seems rather fond of you, and I harbor no animosity toward you," Serestia approached Lance, "so would you consider joining The Blood Clan? Rest assured... joining us, you would be on equal footing with our royal heirs and even with us, the old guard...

We wouldn't restrict your freedom. Should you come to the abyss, the Royal City of The Blood Clan would be your home. If you were to leave the abyss for the Human World, we would not stand in your way.

Should you need it, you could even summon the might of The Blood Clan's warriors to serve you; you could command all Blood Clan's armed forces at will.

How about it? Would you consider?"

Lance shook his head in refusal, "I'm not considering it. Despite your efforts to suppress and disguise it, I still saw an intense craving in your eyes—you long for my blood."

"I haven't..."

"There's no need to deny it hastily. During the brief moment you spoke with me, you looked at my neck countless times. Even though you quickly averted your gaze to meet my eyes every time, I still caught the thirst and greed in your eyes."
