"I’m going with the Tier 14 Sacred Kirin..."
In the end, Ethan made the same choice he always did.
He chose the Sacred Kirin.
The reason was simple.
Because right now, he had to take Crimsonstar Kingdom as fast as possible—to carve out a fallback for Emerald Castle.
Sure, Sylvanwood was his home turf. It was where he could unleash his full strength and go all-in. But the truth was, the scale and danger of the war raging in Sylvanwood? Way more intense than anything happening out at sea.
Honestly, Ethan wasn’t even sure if he could survive this massive faction war. So at this point, having a backup plan wasn’t just smart—it was essential. If he could conquer Crimsonstar Kingdom, that would be his safety net.
His shot at a comeback.
And if Emerald Castle did manage to survive this brutal war between factions, then Crimsonstar Kingdom would become the perfect launchpad—linking his territory and giving him a strategic edge to flank the coastal lines of the Eight Duchies from both sides.
Ethan had already mapped it all out.
This was his perfect route to rise from the chaos.
And that’s exactly why he was willing to gamble a little, to invest in a few extra contingencies. This move? It was calculated. Smart.
And there was no way it wouldn’t pay off.
"Player Valkarion has selected a specific unit reward: 30 units of Tier 14 Sacred Kirin. Please wait... Beep—selection confirmed!"
"Player Valkarion has received 30 units of Tier 14 Mythic Units: Sacred Kirin. Please check your inventory."
Thirty Mythic Units of Sacred Kirin added to his forces.
Ethan’s grin lit up instantly—broad, bright, and full of fire. He couldn’t help it. This whole god-slaying stunt? Yeah, it was risky as hell, but the payoff? Absolutely massive. No doubt about it—this was the turning point. The biggest leap forward he’d made so far.
"Oh right, and then there’s this... the Fragment of Order Dragon Asha’s Power..."
If he remembered correctly, that was from the Glory Lords X universe—Order Dragon Asha. The fact that this thing was named after that dragon... Could it be... related to the actual Order Dragon?
After locking in his Mythic Unit selection, Ethan’s attention shifted to the final reward: the Fragment of Order Dragon Asha’s Power.
To be honest, the moment he first heard that name, his heart had skipped a beat. Official source is n͟o͟v͟e͟l͟f͟i͟r͟e͟.net
Because not only was he very familiar with the name Order Dragon Asha—
He was also just a little bit afraid of it.
At first glance, the name sounded like it belonged to some kind of dragon—or maybe a dragon god. But in truth, it was something far more profound. Order Dragon Asha wasn’t just a creature. She was the embodiment of all divine power and magical law in the world of Glory Lords X.
She created that world.
Which meant, in the context of Glory Lords X, Order Dragon Asha held the role—and the power—of a Creator God.
The only being that stood in opposition to her was one of the Primordial Dragons: Chaos Dragon Urghash. But within the lore and cosmology of Glory Lords X, Asha was the ultimate force. The embodiment of invincibility.
No one could rival her.
The very core of the world’s magical laws and divine structure? All of it could be traced back to Order Dragon Asha’s power.
And that wasn’t all—she also gave birth to six Elemental Dragons, each one destined to rule over a different aspect of the world.
Darkness Dragon Malassa,
Water Dragon Shalassa,
and Air Dragon Sylath.
But don’t mistake them for your typical fire-breathing, winged reptiles. These weren’t just dragons—they were the living manifestations of magical law. Divine-level beings. Gods among gods.
Each of them was worshipped by one of the major factions in the game.
For example, the Castle faction followed Holy Dragon Elrath, one of the most powerful among the six.
The Forest faction revered Earth Dragon Sylena, guardian of nature, beloved by plants and animals alike. She was calm, slow to act, but possessed unmatched physical strength—easily the most physically powerful of the dragon gods.
So, in the world of Glory Lords X, the ultimate power ceiling wasn’t the top-tier factions—it was these six Elemental Dragon Gods.
And even above them, towering over everything, was the source of all order and law: Order Dragon Asha, the living embodiment of the world’s core magical framework.
Which meant the name Order Dragon Asha carried terrifying weight. It wasn’t just a name—it was a symbol of absolute, godlike power.

"Shit..." Ethan’s pupils contracted. He sucked in a sharp breath, his mind racing.
"This... this is the Primordial Force of a Crimson Ultimate Hero, isn’t it?"
"So that’s it... The true essence of a Crimson Ultimate Hero’s Primordial Force—it’s actually the core law of the Glory Lords X universe. A power revered as divine. And the ultimate source of that power... is Order Dragon Asha herself..."
At first, Ethan hadn’t made the connection.
But now, after reading through the full description of the so-called Order Dragon Asha’s Power Fragment, it hit him like a bolt of lightning—this thing had to be the Primordial Force that Crimson Ultimate Heroes were built on...
He couldn’t help but swallow hard.
His hands trembled slightly, and his eyes even turned a little red with excitement.
"Holy hell... this is the real deal..."
"If this fragment from Order Dragon Asha can actually turn someone into a Crimson Ultimate Hero... then that means..."
His mind was already racing with possibilities, but before he could finish the thought, Cicero suddenly swooped in, flapping his wings and landing right in front of him.
"Master, take a look at this."
The little dragon held something in his claws, and as he brought it closer, he opened his grip to reveal a simple, deep-blue crystal—square-shaped, glowing faintly with a watery shimmer.
