I, The Dragon Overlord
-
chapter-41
Louie’s electromagnetic cannon had nothing to do with magic. Rather, it was a product of the Terran Civilization’s technology. After undergoing his genetic modification, Terran’s biotechnology had granted him this new ability.
Initially, he would only have had an organ for spitting out flames, but he had taken notice of the strange appendage after becoming a juvenile dragon. This organ could utilize the Lorentz effect to fire a hyper-accelerated metal shell at a target. In Earth terms, it was an advanced kinetic energy weapon.
Modern Earth technology could create railguns, but they were often impractical to use, and still existed at the research stage.
In Louie’s opinion, there were probably very few things that could withstand this new skill. Even aircraft carriers would likely take on water after a single shot.
If he estimated its strength under San Soliel’s power system, it would likely rank around the legendary level. Without significant preparation, even dragons would be torn to shreds.To the Gods, it might not mean much, but to everyone under it was an absolute killer of an attack.
Setting aside any deities, if Earth and San Soliel were to declare war on one another, the Earth’s weapons would definitely be able to kill legendary rank powerhouses. That said, San Soliel’s psychic and soul magic would certainly leave significant casualties on the Earth’s side. Both civilizations seemed to have clear weaknesses.
Louie on the other hand was a unique existence that could combine both their strengths. He both possessed a working knowledge of Earth’s scientific principles and was capable of slinging powerful spells on a whim.
In the future, if he ever battled Gods, then his scientific knowledge would be a great advantage.
That said, at present, the rail gun wasn’t something he could spam as he pleased. It was powered by Louie’s own energy, and as a juvenile dragon, he could only fire off a few rounds before needing to recover. Each round cost a significant amount of his own bioenergy which could only be recuperated through rest.
He had found metal for the cannon while wandering the forests on his walks. By compacting it into a shell with his powers, he would launch it at an enemy via electromagnetic propulsion. As impressive as it looked, the lightning from his earlier shot wouldn’t actually harm anyone.
‘I’ll just use the dragon breath for weak enemies and the railgun for stronger ones then. It’s good to have another card on hand. At least I don't have to turn into a demigod for every single thing.’‘It's a shame that I can only fire three to four rounds though,’ he muttered inwardly.
Nevertheless, he was not discouraged. Since he had started his evolutionary path, he would only become stronger from now on. Soon he would be able to fire it off continuously, and perhaps he would even gain stronger abilities in the future.
He almost giggled at the thought of being able to fire a plasma cannon one day. Perhaps he would be able to demolish even spacecraft.
Still, artillery missiles were a danger he had to keep in mind. Even if he could sink battleships, it was best to be prudent, as his powerful attack was offset by his less impressive defenses.
Louie turned to the professor and his students, revealing a toothy grin. His eyes seemed to flash as he soared away.
“Away… flew away… that dragon finally flew away.”
The professor’s traumatized entourage let out a collective gasp of relief as they collapsed on the floor. A few remained paralyzed on the ground.
“Professor, let’s get out of here…… This place… the Amazon jungle is just too crazy,” a student sobbed.
“Did anyone catch what happened on film?”
Professor Johnson suddenly asked. His tone was unnaturally calm, but in their exhaustion, the students did not notice anything strange about it.
“A-all captured sir!”
Lucy took two deep breaths and nodded in a hurry.
As a research team in the wilds, they would always have their video recording equipment on.
The professor grinned, “Very good. Send it to me immediately. We need to upload them onto the internet as soon as we can. In fact, we better do so before we leave this jungle, otherwise, the government will likely confiscate the videos.”
He continued, “This is too good of a discovery to be covered up by anyone.”
Professor Johnson turned his back on the students. If someone was standing in front of him at this time, they would have noticed that his expression was different compared to before. He seemed to become a different person entirely.
This was another spell of the Crown of Dominance ---
[Dominate Human]!

At the same moment, the Pentagon was in an uproar.
