The First Dragon God-Chapter 124: Leo’s Shocking Background
The appearance of the leaderboard ranking caused a very heavy and loud silence to envelop the world.
It felt like the world had stopped rotating and was now on a standstill.
Slowly, everyone—the humans—started to feel some tension in the air. The tension grew and became very palpable.
It was just tension alone that was in the air, but also fear.
Yes, fear.
For the humans, it could be said that this is the first time that they are seeing the races.
Demons, vampires, werewolves, elves, dwarves, beastkin and the rest. It’s the first time that they are hearing of them.
Yes, someone of them have met some of these .... aliens directly, interacted with them and seer that they are actually real. And they are now surbodinates and some of them, forced slaves to these entities.
But it wasn’t the same for everyone around the world.
Earth is a planet with a population of more than 8.2 billion humans. Even with the apocalypse and the dangers that comes with it claiming immeasurable numbers of lives, the remaining Earth’s population is still in the hundreds of millions.
And naturally, it’s impossible for the hundreds of millions of people to be able to meet a small number of people.
For those who had haven’t met the Off-worlders, they were naturally scared when they saw the names on the ranking. And seeing that no human among them is on the ranking, made feel even more scared.
But the appearance of Leo on the leaderboard ranking changed everything. They didn’t understand how someone like him could be a native of Earth as stated by his information on the leaderboard. But they hoped that the fact he’s a native would gave them hope. No matter how useless it might seem at the moment.
Father, Dragon prince. Mother, caretaker goddess of the world tree.
These were the words that was continuously repeated in almost everyone’s head when they read Leo’s information.
...
As for the Off-worlders, the appearance of the leaderboard ranking marked the beginning of the chaotic and bloody battle that’s going to happen in the coming days.
The leaderboard’s appearance wasn’t the beginning of the tournament. It was the beginning of something massive, something that would change their lives forever.
As they continued to view the leaderboard and its occupants, some of them saw some very familiar names.
This was especially so for Tatiana. She saw the names on the ranking and she suddenly felt that she might had been underplaying the value the tournament holds in everyone’s heart.
Seeing her step siblings on the ranking was no surprise. It would have been quite a slap to the face of the Blood Emperor, and an insult to his status, if his children didn’t make the ranking.
What actually surprised her, shocking her even, was the appearance of so many demons and their domination over half of the ranking.
Tatiana felt that there was more to the appearance of these demons and everything was exactly as it seems. This was especially so with how they are.
Yes, weak. The demons on the ranking are weak. The Infernal Realm Tatiana knows is a ruthless places populated by the different Infernal races occupying it.
It’s ruled by an entity called Lucifer, a being on the same level as gods. The Infernal Realm is also ruled by numerous Apocalyptic Rank and multiple Celestial Rank entities.
Another thing to note is that demons can’t leave the Infernal Realm without the permission of an Archdemon, who in turns seeks permissions from the ruler of the circle of their dwelling.
The reason for this is because of a treaty that was signed between Lucifer and the Council of gods ages ago, bringing to an end the long raging war between demons and the entire Multiverse.
Yes, there was a time when the Infernal Realm was at war with the whole Multiverse but that was before the appearance of the dwellers of the Abyssal Realm.
All these are things that Tatiana read from the library when she was still in the Palace.
She also remember reading that the minimum rank of demons that are allowed to freely exit the Infernal Realm starts from Overlord Rank.
"It seems like things are going to get dangerous very soon," Tatiana said to herself.
She continued to view the ranking and she saw some other familiar names like the Elf princesses, scions of some very popular Dwarves, the princes and princesses of the Werewolf race, and lots of royalty and scions from some well-known noble families in the Multiverse.
Tatiana nearly burst into laughter when she saw Liliana’s ranking. She knew that compared to her, Liliana is weak, but she had no idea that would actually be topped by the scion from a noble family from Crimson Fall Realm. Her own subject.
Her attention was quickly drawn away from Liliana’s position as she went back up the ranking again to confirm something.
"As expected, the dragon race isn’t participating. They have never wanted anything to do with the divine and they won’t start now," she said to herself, smiling in relief.

Her eyes continued going down the ranking and right at the very bottom of the ranking, she saw something that shocked her to her very core.
"Leo Astranox. Son of Astragar, the third dragon prince, and Elunara, the caretaker goddess of the world tree, Yggdrasill. What in the bloody sanguine moon?!"
She couldn’t believe what she was seeing.
"Astragar, the third dragon prince? Isn’t that the only dragon that was born with the ability to control chaos and was blessed by one of the members of the Council, the primordial goddess, Nyx?" She asked herself, swallowing hard.
"Elunara, the caretaker goddess of the world tree, Yggdrasill? No, this can’t be possible, right?" Tatiana asked herself in shock.
From what Tatiana read from the books in the Palace library, the feud between the dragon race and the god race has been on for as long as one could remember.
It goes way back to even before the war between the Infernal Realm and the Multiverse.
The gods—even though the Council of Primordial are the ones that are at the backbone of the Multiverse—has always see themselves as the ruler of the Multiverse, asking every mortal race to bow them.
As for the dragon race, they are a very prideful race that has never submitted to anyone. They are the only mortal race that have the backing of a primordial, though vaguely, and this was long before the birth of Leo’s father.
With the dragon’s pride, one could imagine how they felt when the gods asked the mortal races to bow to them.
The god race were naturally enraged when the dragon race refused to listen but they couldn’t do anything as they didn’t want to incur the wrath of the primordial backing them.
This was how their feud began and has continued to this day. But if that is so, then how is it possible that Leo is the son of two very powerful entities from different two races that hates each other with passion?
Tatiana was very curious and so was every Off-worlders that saw Leo’s information.
Tatiana chose Leo because he has a lot of potential but with this new revealed information about him, she felt that she has bitten off more than she can chew.
The question is if she will throw it out of her mouth or force herself to chew it no matter what.
Tatiana didn’t even need to consider her choices as she disappeared from her position, and blitzed towards Leo’s location.
She got to balcony of his apartment and walked into his room. There, she saw him sitting on his bed, with a smile on his face. And Ves who has a peculiar expression on her face, seated beside him.
"I know you would come. Took you long enough," Leo said with a smile when he saw Tatiana.
