The Giant Bone King’s request for the Skeleton Dragon King to be ridden was not on his own authority, but rather a personal vendetta intended to humiliate the Skeleton Dragon King.
This was not rely because of the endless wars and disputes between the giants and the Dragon Bone Territory.
It was also about the centuries-old animosity and warfare between giants and dragons, spanning countless planes.
As long as both parties exist on the sa plane, especially the Material Plane, peaceful coexistence is rare, with most conflicts lasting aeons until either both are wounded or one destroys the other.
Their imnse size demands substantial resources for survival, necessitating the occupation of vast lands to sustain themselves, an irreconcilable survival conflict.
Enslaving the other is considered a great honor in the behavioral canon of both sides.
This deeply ingrained mindset does not completely change even after becoming undead.
However, this matter conflicts with Gaven’s interests.
The greed and arrogance of dragons are ingrained in their very bones, especially with the colored dragons, of which the red dragon is the epito; the Skeleton Dragon King was once transford from a red dragon’s skeleton.
The Giant Bone King’s actions now rely add uncertainty, with no aningful purpose.
"Your Excellency Imran, you don’t need to do anything, just await my arrival!"
Gaven’s voice resounded again, "As long as you are willing to pledge allegiance to and accept my transformation, I will guarantee all your original territories and rights, and I won’t violate your will to make you a mount for anyone, including myself! For I have more fitting carriers!"
To lend credibility to his words, amidst a rumble, a shadow flyer swooped down, passing near the Skeleton Dragon King at maximum speed.
A jet speed of nearly 400 km/h directly dispelled the Skeleton Dragon King’s last concerns.
For dragons, the most intolerable thing is not to whom they pledge allegiance, but the idea of countless beings wanting to ride them, viewing it as an honor and a symbol of power.
The Skeleton Dragon King mockingly retorted to the Giant Bone King, who had just risen from the ground, "As a servant, you must be aware of your role; don’t act clever unnecessarily, or you’ll end up shooting yourself in the foot."
The Giant Bone King dusted off imaginary dust and smiled nonchalantly, "If not like this, how else would you prove the wisdom and strength of my God?"
"You’re really gilding yourself." The Skeleton Dragon King sneered lightly, "You won’t tell you weren’t conquered, but made a wise choice yourself."
"Precisely so!" The Giant Bone King replied rightfully, "When I first clashed, I recognized the extraordinariness of my God; I rely cooperated with his plan, thoroughly disrupting the situation on the Plains of Bone, laying a solid foundation for him to unify the region. Isn’t everything now within reach?"
The Skeleton Dragon King fell silent instantly, as he montarily couldn’t discern the truth of the Giant Bone King’s words.
After all, the situation was quite evident.
Upon consuming the Dragon Bone Territory, he would leap to beco the strongest lord of the Plains of Bone.
Even if the Corpse King and the Burning Flas Queen joined forces, resisting them would be difficult, let alone their irreconcilable conflict.
When the Divine Power Presence chooses to help a side, that side will be the ultimate victor.
Swallowing the entire Plains of Bone will naturally follow.
Far at the Giant Skull Castle, Gaven didn’t expect the developnt to proceed so smoothly, entirely moving in a direction most beneficial to himself.
According to their initial plan, the Giant Bone King’s presence here was a tactic of open discord, intensifying the hatred and conflict between the Burning Flas Queen and the Corpse King.
Even if the Burning Flas Queen ignored their manipulations, distrust would already be seeded between them.
By then, he only needed to drag the Corpse King into a ruthless fight, desperately weakening his strength, and the Burning Flas Queen might turn her attack direction out of hatred at any mont.
Once she turns, the situation shifts towards his favor.
Who would have thought the Burning Flas Queen would place her personal grudges above all, simplifying the entire war situation significantly.
Speaking of which, this manner is quite abyssal, for everything here inherently lacks much rationality, even interests are not entirely the sa as in normal circumstances.
Using common thinking to predict the behavior mode of creatures here often leads to erroneous judgnts.
For example, fully utilizing the hatred between the Burning Flas Queen and the Corpse King was not a plan by Gaven and his shadow officer strategists, but rather the Giant Bone King’s pledge of allegiance.
Before this, neither Gaven nor his shadow officer strategists thought much of this plan, as rationality is the basic conduct of a lord; without it, achieving great things is impossible and would’ve been uprooted countless tis already.
This notion may hold true in the Material Plane.
A huge territory with millions of residents signifies millions of different thoughts, with complex network of interests; rely balancing these thoughts and interests consus most of a lord’s energy.
Acting arbitrarily is the root of destruction.
However, in the Bottomless Abyss, especially on the Plains of Bone, this notion is incorrect.
