Chapter 1012: Confirmation Bias.
Then the dragon emperor roared, "Sloan!"His shout caused the air to liquify and flow as a viscous liquid outwards from him. The shockwaves created by his shout were visible as waves that rose and fell in the liquified air, pushing everything they encountered away before shattering them in a sonic explosion.
The shockwaves traveled away from the summit far into the distance, where they pushed the clouds aside while some went into the ground, making the mountain shake. Because of this, some parts of the mountain shattered into stone fragments that rolled down the mountainside as a landslide.
All of these ensured that everyone on the mountain heard the dragon emperor’s shout. Everyone who heard the shout also had reasons to suspect that the dragon emperor urgently needed what it was shouting for.
But the most anxious person was the one being called. When Sloan heard the dragon emperor shouting her name, she rushed over to the castle as if her life depended on it.
When she arrived, she immediately prostrated herself and said, "I am here, my emperor."
The dragon emperor said, "I can see that you’re here. I’m not blind. Or do you think I’m blind and senile?"
Sloan hurriedly shook her head like a rattle as she said, "I wouldn’t dare in a million years, my emperor."
"Good," the emperor said in satisfaction.
Then it said with a loud, domineering voice, "Go and get someone with the latest information about the affairs of the Blessed Heaven World."
Sloan wanted to say, "Ajax is the one with the latest information."
But when she saw the corpse on the ground, identified who it belonged to, and saw the blood on the dragon emperor’s lips, she swallowed all the words she wanted to say about Ajax.
Instead, she said, "Right away, your majesty."
She was gone as soon as she spoke. As for whether she was leaving in a hurry to do what she was asked to do or if she was leaving so that she wouldn’t end up as Ajax or both, that was up for debate.
A few minutes later, Sloan had brought someone else with updated knowledge of the current affairs of the Blessed Heaven World. The two of them lay on the ground in front of the emperor, shaking like leaves in the wind.
For a while, the emperor didn’t say anything to them. This was because he was busy snacking on the big bundle of fresh meat in front of him. That bag of meat used to be Ajax.
Ajax was a rank 5 dragon, and the dragon emperor was a rank 8 existence, so the dragon emperor didn’t need to use such a messy way to kill Ajax.
The dragon emperor also didn’t need to eat. This is something any divine being is capable of. The lowest rank 6 divine being didn’t need to breathe or eat, so a rank 8 existence definitely didn’t need to either.
If someone didn’t need to do something but was doing it anyway, either they were being forced to do that thing, or they wanted to do it for one reason or another.
