I, The Dragon Overlord Chapter 428 - Ghroth? Seven Princes of Hell?

“The asteroid has come to life?”

“What kind of monster is it!?”

“Where are the theologians? The religious scholars? The occultists? Quickly call them. Have them find out what that thing really is!”

“......”

Facing a living celestial body was an incredible spectacle on its own. What was once purely a work of fantasy that appeared in movies had now become a cold hard reality.

A satellite with a diameter of 20 kilometers had become a living thing and was barrelling toward Earth!

Not long after, many famous theologians, religious scholars, and occult scholars were summoned by the top leaders of various countries. They were tasked to rely on their knowledge to identify what the living missile was.

“Is it a demon or a god in that asteroid's body?”

Hearing the question, the experts were filled with consternation and looked at one another.

One of them hesitated for a moment before speaking out, “Ancient humans had limited cognition. They simply did not have a concept of planets, and stars were just dots in the sky. Humans from five hundred years ago even believed that the Earth was flat.”

“When comets crossed the sky many once considered them to be ill omens and evil stars but no one ever thought them to be literal gods or demons!”

Seeing that these scholars all had scrunched up eyebrows and could not find out what this satellite monster was from any known canonical text, one of the political leaders suddenly said, “This satellite is actually Jupiter LXVI, how about checking if it is part of some legend?”

Although civilian enthusiasts had discovered that this asteroid was about to hit Earth, none of them had known that this asteroid was actually Jupiter LXVI due to the limitation of their instruments. Only the immense astronomical research resources of several major countries had managed to deduce this information.

This secret was never revealed to the public, so the people that were invited simply did not know what the origin of the asteroid was. Now, they found out that it was actually one of Jupiter’s moons!

And with this information, it also dawned on the leaders of other nations that they not only needed to see if the satellite was a god or a demon’s body but also look at the nature and origin of the moon.

With this knowledge, the scholars showed a shocked look and also began to discuss from different viewpoints.

“Jupiter? The most famous thing about Jupiter is that it symbolizes Zeus in Greek mythology and Roman mythology. Zeus is the King of Gods of Greek mythology and the ruler of Mount Olympus. In astrology, Jupiter is associated with Sagittarius while it is associated with the number 3 in numerology. It’s said that anyone who’s known to be Jupiter in Sagittarius will be full of health and spirit.”

“And the number 3, which holds an extremely high status in the occult, could be said to contain the secrets of the universe!”

“The Christian trinity, the three Taoist doctrines, and even DNA, RNA, and protein are composed of three things namely ACT, CAG, and TTT. In Egypt, there are also the triangular pyramids, and in Hinduism….”

The scholar spoke at length about all he knew. From theology to science and from science to theology, it was as if he had forgotten what Jupiter was and began to speak of the wonders of the number 3 using Jupiter as the source.

The leaders of the great powers had a headache from listening. They hastily interrupted him and passed over a photo taken with the FAST.

“Look at this photo. This is the current appearance of the moon that is now heading toward Earth. Its appearance shouldn’t be linked to Zeus, right?”

“But pay attention as it has a mysterious effect. If you stare at it for too long, it can drive you crazy,” the leaders kindly reminded.

The scholars hurriedly took a look at the photo. At just one glance, some people felt dizzy. Some scholars could not help but vomit from nausea.

But the scholars were convinced of one thing. This twisted and strange thing could never be related to Zeus no matter what. Although Zeus was described as lascivious, he was definitely not an evil god.

“Moloch, the King of Gluttony!”

Suddenly, an expert on demonology cried out.

Under the uncomprehending gaze of many people, he hissed fervently, “Moloch is a name in the Hebrew Bible. Moloch originally meant king, the monarch of the land of tears. A land coated in the blood of mothers and tears of children - a demon king in name in ancient Semitic culture. Moloch is a deity associated with fire, and in Canaan and Babylonian belief, it has a custom of burning children as a sacrifice, so in later terms, it has been associated as an evil devil!”

“There are also many versions of the seven demon kings of hell in the Bible, including an incomplete examination of the Seven Princes of Hell in which each of the seven princes is a demon king of sin. The King of Gluttony recorded there is Moloch who is also a symbol of Jupiter!”

Hearing the expert’s words, the President of the United States felt speechless and said, “The Seven Demon Kings of Hell? This and the Satanic Bible…”

The President of the United States hurriedly shut up, but the meaning he wanted to express in his words was also heard and understood.

The leaders of other major countries were silent but fuming. They had already deduced that the US’s research of the so-called ‘Satanic Bible’ was probably what put everyone in the current mess.

‘No wonder this asteroid was always targeting the United States of America.”

The leaders of many major countries were aware, but now was not the time to settle accounts. Now that the situation had become a crisis for the entire human race, the first thing many countries needed to do was to solve the crisis.

“In addition to what this professor said, I think this asteroid is related to Ghroth of Cthulhu mythology. As you have noticed, we can feel madness just by looking at the photo of the asteroid which is consistent with Cthulhu mythology.”

A scholar of Cthulhu mythology spoke up.

“Ghroth? In records of Cthulhu mythology, it should be at least the size of a planet, right? This is the problem with Cthulhu mythology. The descriptions are too exaggerated.”

Another expert retorted mockingly.

“Incarnation! This might be an incarnation! Have you forgotten the incarnation of the Torch Dragon that appeared in Tokyo? What do you think the relationship between the summoned sun by the Eastern God and our current sun is?”

The scholar of Chtulhu mythology shouted angrily, “Cthulhu mythology looks exaggerated because the people who wrote it were from the twentieth century. Their imaginative power is much stronger than modern people who have developed science and knowledge!”

“Moreover, these ancient gods and goddesses look exaggerated. This included the Christian God and even in Indian mythology!”

“These religious texts and myths were written by people. Mortals could only speculate about the real gods!”

Seeing these experts start to quarrel with their own field of mythology, the leaders of the countries pretended to be invisible.

They didn’t want to judge whether this satellite was Moloch or Ghroth, they just wanted to know what they should do in the face of such an evil god.

‘It’s all up to Big Ivan!”

The leaders' thoughts were united.
