The Almighty Dragon General

The Omnipotent Lord sneered, stood up, and looked down at James. He pointed at James and said, “I’ll give you two choices,
James. You can either submit to me or die.”
James did not take the Omnipotent Lord’s threats seriously. He calmly looked at the Omnipotent Lord and responded,” Submit to
you? I might consider it, if you can make it worth my while.”
The Omnipotent Lord was taken aback. He did not expect James to comply so easily and was prepared for James to challenge
him in a fight to the death over the position of the new universe’s Lord.”
For a while, the Omnipotent Lord remained silent.
After a few seconds, he sorted out his thoughts and grinned. “Of course, I’ll make it worth your while. In the new universe, those
with strength will be given authority. If you can defeat my subordinate, I’ll give you the position of the Deputy Universe Lord.”
The Omnipotent Lord called out, “Briscoe.”
“Yes, My Lord.”
Immediately, a man stepped forward. It was a middle-aged man about 1.8 meterstall. He wore a white robe and seemed quite
refined. Despite his elegant look, he radiated an imposing aura.
The Omnipotent Lord looked at James and said, “This is the current Deputy Universe Lord, Briscoe Haldor. He’s been assisting
me in managing the new universe. Also, for your information, he is a Nine-Power Macrocosm Ancestral God who’s almost at the
peak of his rank.”
The Omnipotent Lord had two reasons for summoning Briscoe. Firstly, he wanted to test James’ true strength. Secondly, he
wanted to see if James was really willing to comply with his orders.
As long as James sincerely submitted to him, he planned to give James a prestigious status regardless of the battle’s outcome.
Although he would not be conveyed the highest ranks, he would still be extremely influential in the new universe.
“As the Universe Lord, I should show you some mercy. I’ll give you some time to prepare for the fight. The fight can begin when
you’re ready.”
The Omnipotent Lord declared in an authoritative tone.

James began to ponder deeply. He was still unsure how the First District could raise so many powerhouses in mere Epochs. He
felt he would not get the answers he wanted even if he defeated Briscoe and the Omnipotent Lord.
His only option to discover the truth would be to stick close to the Omnipotent Lord for now. James suspected it had something to
do with the Dark World’s Watchers. He had exposed himself in the Dark World, so the Watchers must have investigated him.
With a bit of digging, they probably learned about him and the situation beyond the Dark World.
As such, they took control over the Omnipotent Lord. Perhaps they did not really take control over him but provided him with
some support. As a result, the Omnipotent Lord achieved great strength and was on the cusp of becoming an Acmean.
If his assumptions were true, he could find clues about the Watchers while observing the Omnipotent Lord. Then, he could wipe
them out with this knowledge.
In case he was wrong, and the Omnipotent Lord truly had improved his strength and raised many powerhouses using his own
means, then he would be a very valuable ally and worth siding with.
James concluded that it was necessary for him to fight Briscoe. Moreover, he would have to ensure everyone knew about it to
attract the Watchers’ attention. By doing so, he could get the Watchers to reveal themselves.
James briefly took stock of his strength. When he fought against the Watchers in the Dark World, he only displayed strength
around the middle stage of a Nine-Power Macrocosm Ancestral God.
On the other hand, Briscoe’s cultivation rank was in the final stage of a Nine-Power Macrocosm Ancestral God. James planned
to lose the fight and leave unhappily. The Omnipotent Lord would definitely try to recruit him despite the outcome.
After a brief thought, James said, “Alright. Since you think so highly of me, I won’t disappoint you. We can have the battle in a
thousand years’ time.”
