My Life as Mordred in Warhammer World After Training on Earth Bet

She can typically wear whatever she wants although she avoids wearing things like tube tops and short shorts outside of close friends and family since I think quite a few people, commoner or noble, would have heart attacks from seeing their liege walk around basically nude and then their daughters following her example. The dress thing was because even if Mordred is female, that doesn't stop her from being annoyed at going to formal occasions and putting on monkey suits. And her own coronation ceremony is definitely a formal event and something that needs a little dressing up beyond of her casual wear of a t-shirt and pants.
I'm missing the question here, what about spending time with her kids?

I was thinking of where is Mordred favorite place to spend time with the kids, on top of her house? In a field or perhaps a beach?
Would she end up dressing in casual/ indecent clothes in the middle of nowhere and taking naps with the kids resting on her?
Does she need guards for that or will she wait till they get older?
Well, the cheesy (but still quite real) answer is that whenever and wherever possible.
The other answer is that a great deal of her time with them is spent by just occupying the same space as the twins, the only reason why she has any free time to do rare trips outside is because of her inhuman sleep schedule(a few minutes every night is fine right?) and busting her ass off via limited super speed which isn't as helpful as you might think when pieces of parchment can only handle so much acceleration and spells can only be weaved so fast.
Sure, basically Mordred's iconic causal look is what she typically wears for lounging around the house like most people do when they are feeling lazy and not expecting to do anything in public like shopping or giving a speech at the start of the school year for
If Mordred is with her kids then they already have the best guard they could ask for in Warhammer. They will get a lot more freedom to go and do as they please when she is sure they can take down a few dozen soldiers per twin ambushing them and do it with ease, can't let them get kidnapped by someone just because they had a few (dozen) men on their side right?

Sad to say, this isn't even paranoia, but "reasonably expected opposition". Most kings would just put a few squads of highly trained veteran knights on permanent guard duty. Mordred has options - so that when the guards are inevitably distracted, it's not (that much of) a problem.

Anyone that does try would have a very pissed off dragon on their trails. Likely the only way someone would get away would be fourth dimensional warp fuckery, and that would just lead to Mordred tearing the warp a new asshole to invade it and get her babies back.
So, uh.. I may or may not have gotten distracted last night by rolling 53 wildcards via the worm cyoa v2 around 8pm and ended up going to sleep around 8am because of that... Now that I'm awake and done with my RL stuff for the last few hours of the day, I felt that I should mention that the update is very likely to be a tad late due to unforeseen slowdowns.
On the brightside, I've found that I can fit in a whole five hours of uninterrupted and focused writing each day on Fridays and Saturdays by going over to my families old flooded out house and using my phone's hotspot in conjunction with my shitty laptop. So I should be able to get more writing and editing(not that I've been doing much(any) of this for the last couple months) done in the future.

That great but do remember to rest.
I get to sleep in as much as I want for the next two days. Does that help?

Yeah, I was referring to the chaos gods. I mean, they suck. In one case literally. Sorry I wasn't clearer on that.

Ya know, in Australia an Out House is also known as a toilet?
So you are telling me that you are so dedicated to writing that..... You go outside to an old abandoned AND Flooded toilet, for HOURS... just for us?
Wow man, just wow.
I meant that more in that it was "flooded out" since the house had flooded(both times being at least 4 feet of water high) twice in three years, and every year since has had a decent chance of flooding again.
Ah, thanks for clarifying.

Chapter Four - Arc Three
AN: it's only five hours over my deadline of midnight late so not too bad. Mostly just Mordred getting her powers and taking care of things. I also had an realization and changed her domain of cleansing into something that I think fits better. A time skip is coming again so I can do more than talk about how cute her sons are as babies and because countries work on larger timescales than most things.
Chapter Four, A Goddess in Full.
The rest of my coronation was kind of a blur to me. In my distraction, I defaulted to my father's ingrained training for dealing with other nobles and just people in general and went into auto pilot. I'm sure that most of the people there could tell that I was somewhat out of it after I was crowned but I doubt that they realized the real reason why. Much of my attention was absorbed as I slowly had my awareness of all lightning storms spread and watched the rest of my soul as it continued its course.
It was as I was walking back to my room while the celebrations winded down that my domain over lightning fully cemented itself. I stumbled a little as I, for once, fully grasped what it meant to be a goddess of lightning. A key thing to note was that no matter what lightning is supposed to mean to whatever group of people, lightning is always powerful. Whether or not it is a divine revelation or a dire sign of foreboding, lightning is always powerful.
And I am now supposed to embody that, well, there was a reason why many of the most powerful gods tend to have lightning or a variant of it as one of their domains. I wasn't exactly going to test how powerful I am now since the last time that I did that was on Earth Bet and I may or may not have accidentally caused a few tsunamis when I directed my blast across the ocean.
There was one side of being a goddess of lightning that I was looking forward to though. For you see, I am supposed to embody lightning, correct? Besides power there is one thing people tend to think of, speed. More specifically, the speed of light. If I could manage to reach that level of speed, I could go to the moon and back in less than three seconds. Well, for that I would probably need a spaceship or something since the vacuum of space is pretty deadly but even the ability to loop the planet multiple times in a single second would be very useful.
I turned the corner that led towards my workshop, going in the opposite direction from the kid's room. Putting my kid's room so close to my workshop and all that lay within it would have been a dumb move, which is why it was on the other side of the building from them. I kept walking down the hallway towards my workshop, still dressed in this constricting formal dress and my new crown perched on my head.
I entered the room and grabbed the extra change of clothes I left in here, barred the door, and changed out of the dress and into the fan favorite of short shorts and a tube top along with my new crown still atop my head. My workshop was my local magic testing area, with as many protective barriers and wards as I could put together into a cohesive whole so that I could test out my ideas without ripping holes in the fabric of reality or blow up the building and or city.
It wouldn't be enough for what I really wanted to do but it would have to do for the smaller scale tests. First was a simple reinforcement with careful movements. For years now, I had been turning my "neutral" mana into lightning aspected mana when reinforcing myself so as to tap into the raw speed and power lightning had despite the lesser durability enhancement it had compared to the original.
Which made things interesting now that I have lightning as my domain. With a deep breath, I activated my Mana Burst Lightning and very carefully moved around. It was a good thing I got some mental enhancements from this because otherwise I would have just face planted into the wall and possibly out the other side of it, into the three story drop outdoors. This was a whole new level of physical enhancement for me, I was actually going to have to spend some time getting used to it and make sure that I was able to use it to its fullest potential.
Of course, this was the perfect moment for my soul to snap another piece into place. I collapsed into the nearest chair as I was almost overwhelmed with my new senses. Suddenly growing a connection to every dragon out there, living or undead, is kind of a mental trip. And then on top of that is a vast amount of the power I gained from my new domain of dragons that was now automatically funnelling back into them.
I could probably turn it off and regain all of that lost power but I had a realization that stopped me from doing so. I waited as I felt dragons young and old, feel confusion, then relief, and finally joy as the seeping tiredness that had dragged all of them down since ages long past began to abate. I was reminded of that tale where an elven goddess killed the father of dragons, their god, at some point in the distant past when they were still free to roam and do as they pleased.
Unfortunately, not all of the dragons were ones I wanted alive, there were the zombie dragons although still thankfully few for now and then there were the Chaos dragons. Galrauch was a sad tale and his twisted spawn only enhanced that. Unfortunately for them, Chaos was still Chaos no matter how you joined up. I had no chance to free them of that, maybe if I had been there when Galrauch had been first infected but not now.
I had to curse them and block them from the new inflow of power I was granting them, letting them become even more active than they were would be very problematic. I got up from my seat and stood in the biggest clear space in the room. I had just been testing the new found power that my body and magic had gained from my ascension into godhood. Now it was time to fully embrace my new status as a goddess and use it to crush any chances of an army of Chaos dragons roaming the world. And also zombie dragons too, the vampires and necromancers of the world are not people I want to empower with access to even more powerful dragons would cause.
I mentally reached into my soul and gently let it surge into my physical body, oh god, that was a lot more power than what I had been thinking. My body tingled with power, a weird sensation started from just above my ass and grew from there. My head and chest also felt slightly heavier as I let my divinity manifest itself in my body from my soul outwards. Very slowly, my body started to become truly divine and not just that of an absurdly powerful mortal.
I could also feel the strain it was slowly forcing upon the world, I would have to avoid using god mode as much as possible or I might eventually be forced to leave the material world in order to not break reality into a million billion pieces like the Old Ones did when their polar gates broke.
The surge of power subsided for the moment, letting me realize what exactly just happened to my body. A quick glance down informed me that godhood came with a boobjob. A glance behind me and running my hands along the top of my head informed me that I was now a dragon girl too. It was stuff like this that made me wonder about my life sometimes.
Giving myself a full body shake, tail twitching, I turned my focus back to the reason why I turned myself into a literally divine magical dragon girl and started to focus on my link to the Chaos dragons. It was thinner than most of my other links to dragons but that made sense since they were claimed by the Chaos gods. I probably could only still connect to them because the original god of dragons had died early on and the Chaos gods had been lazy in removing their links to unfilled domains.
Raising my arms up with my palms facing each other, I formed my curse between them. "Accursed dragons of Chaos hear me. I, Mordred Pendragon, Goddess of Dragons, hereby curse you! May your long slumbers grow longer, and with each year that passes, may you weaken even more. No longer shall you inflict your taint on the dragon race, forever more, you shall no longer be dragons but mere snakes!" I spoke into the minds of each Chaos snake as my curse applied itself into what passed for their souls and my power fled them.
I dropped my arms and sagged a bit as a large amount of my new found power drained from me to power the curse I just cast. It was much like the first time I used Mana Burst, the large drain was more than what I was used to even if I had a fair amount of my reserves left, I would have to use it more in order to get used to it albeit I kind of would rather not have to use my god mode on a large enough scale that I get used to the power drain of cursing entire sub species.
I rallied myself again a few moments later, I still needed to deal with the zombie dragon problem. I had a slightly smaller connection to the zombie dragons than I had with the Chaos snakes but it still fell into my wheelhouse as all parts of a dragon's life and death fell under my domain. Assuming the same position as I did just a minute ago, I began to speak.
"I, Mordred Pendragon, Goddess of Dragons, hereby curse any and all of those who would defile a dragon's grave so that they may bind them to unliving slavery! Now and forever onward, those who would defile a dragon's rightful rest shall find that their work enfeebled and draining. For each day that one would enslave a dragon into undeath, is another that their power is further weakened." With the curse cast, I moved over to the nearest chair and collapsed into it.
Perhaps it had been a bit much to cast two curses back to back using a domain I had just gotten mere minutes ago and when I had not even completely finished with my ascension into godhood. Oh well, I had already done it. Although now that I was thinking about it, the black dragons of the dark elves also need to be dealt with. But that will have to wait for another day when I'm not so exhausted from cursing two different groups.
Still, for now I'll cut the dark elf aligned dragons off from me, no need to make life harder for the high elves and anyone else who has to deal with those edgy bastards. The dismay and other negative emotions I felt as I cut off the flow of power to them was almost enough to guilt trip me into giving it back but I knew nothing good would come from my mercy. I could feel their twisted minds, they were not people I would let live if I met them face to face.
I then remembered that prior to becoming a dragon goddess, I was trying to tap into the speed of lightning. Since I was still in god mode, I figured I might as well give it a shot. Turns out? It is really easy to tap into when you are both the god of lightning in body and soul and not just in soul. In less than a second, I moved from my workshop to near the marshes of madness, my favorite testing site.
Here, I wanted to test one last ability of my god mode that I couldn't test anywhere indoors. With a deep breath, I flipped the mental switch. Moments later, I was a dragon shaped dragon. A western style dragon to be exact. From craning my neck, I could guess that I was about double the size of that thug of a dragon that got one punched by me earlier in the year. So, bigger than most but nothing special.
I walked around a bit, marveling at how natural it felt to just be in this form. I had none of the troubles most would think of when such a drastic change happened to a person's body. That probably had to do with me being a goddess of dragons. I had one last thing I wanted to do before I zapped myself back to my workshop and deactivated god mode.
With a few flaps of my wings, I started ascending into the sky. The world below became tiny as I rose into the air and started flying in no particular direction. I just let myself embrace the luxury of flying with no goal in mind, my speed causing me to do a lap around the planet in the hour I spent enjoying the freedom of flight. It was when I realized that I had passed Drachenreich a bit ago despite having been flying in the opposite direction that made me realize I had been doing this for far too long.
A quick midair change back into being a human shaped dragon later and then an even quicker change into lightning and then I was back in my workshop. Another moment later, I was no longer in god mode. My tail, horns and boobjob reverted and I was back to normal thankfully. I wasn't sure what I was going to do if I had been permanently stuck with a tail and horns.
As I was back in my base form, I realized that I wasn't going to be able to use my "turns into lightning" trick unless I was in god mode or my body became close enough to that state that there was practically no difference. Either way, if I kept using it, I would be forced to never return sooner or later. Which meant I would have to avoid using it as much as possible, perrably never again despite how much I enjoyed the flight I just went on, it's not worth abandoning my children and any descendants they would give me.
Fortunately, I was already very fast and I could just work on increasing my speed via magic instead of godly power. I was already roughly fast enough to lap the world in three hours in my base form with no magical enhancements, no need to worry too much about not being able to move at the speed of light without consequences.
It was a couple hours later that it occurred to me that I could make use of my domain of lightning to turn my sons' future weapons and armor into something far beyond what I originally had planned. The difference between now and before when it came to my ability to do anything lightning related was like trying to figure out who was the better Caster between pre grail war Shirou Emiya and Merlin. The difference between the two was so big that they might as well be incomparable if not for the fact I had just compared them to each other.
As I plopped down into my chair and pulled out some sheets of parchment, another domain slotted in. Salvation, not a domain I would think of but something that made a lot of sense in hindsight. My first actions in this world had been to save the empire from rampaging greenskins and then lead a makeshift army to go finish the job. I then led my people from the armies of the emperor and protected them from those who would prey upon them as they started over in the borderlands. I then later became the salvation of thousands of mages as I founded the school of magic that teaches them all how to use their cursed gift without falling into darkness and Chaos.
From there, I led the reclamation of Karak Drazh, becoming the light at the end of the tunnel for the near suicidal dwarfs who wished to return to their ancestral home. And from a certain point of view, you could say I was the savior of the borderlands as I freed them from the death, chaos, and depravity of those who ruled them. In a lot of ways, I had set myself up to eventually become the salvation for those who have opposed the undead, Chaos, and all of those like them. And if I had my way, it would come to pass, freedom from the undead, the daemon, and the wicked for everyone.
Uh, woah. I mentally went over what I just thought, because that sounded a lot like that Warhammer Forty Thousand quote about killing and purging mutants, heretics, and xenos. Not really something I wanted to become, I would have to keep an eye on myself to make sure I don't go overboard with that kind of thing, even if a certain level of that was needed to just keep everything running without it turning into Chaos.
I set down my writing instrument and stretched out before sagging back into my chair and just staring off into space. So much for the good mood I had from that flight I did earlier. This latest domain was all about me doing what it meant, saving people from harm, ruin, or loss. But this wasn't just the obvious thing of protecting people from physical harm or saving those at risk of falling into Chaos.
It was saving them from themselves, to bring those who would engage in self destructive habits into a healthy state of mind, to give shelter to others from their grief and pain, to teach the beggar how to fish, to be the light at the end of the long tunnel. This is the power of therapy and helping people make intelligent life choices. I wondered to myself as I stared into my hands, what the hell have I gotten myself into?
Well… I was basically at Naruto's level of Talk no Jutsu now. That's a thing I guess? I'm not nearly powerful enough to take on the Chaos gods all working together which is what I would need to be if I ever wanted to exercise my full power over the domain of salvation. Well, I suppose that I could try the Talk no Jutsu on the Chaos gods but well… Their domains are kind of incompatible with converting into being a good guy and there was no way they would be willing to kill themselves in order to find "salvation" in their final act like Darth Vader.
Anyway, I suppose my latest domain would come in handy for saving those who wouldn't cause the four to freak out and toss all of their available resources at me in hopes of killing me. It wouldn't work, especially now. But it would end up with the vast majority of everyone around us dead and me barely managing to keep a small chunk of land from being overwhelmed. The effects of this happening would not be good for anyone alive and most importantly, my kids would suffer quite a bit in this scenario.
Unlike my father, I realized that The Anime Dad's Guide was supposed to be a joke and thus have done what I could to avoid doing things described in the guide. I mean, I turned out okay somehow but it's not really something I would recommend subjecting your own children to when you can murderize everything that looks at them wrong, or better yet, teach your kids how to murderize everything that looks at them wrong themselves.
With that cheerful thought, my soul finished its years long work. I have truly finished transcending into godhood as my last but definitely not least domain finally connected to me. Magic, something I really should have expected considering what I've done but since the most well known deity of magic here is The Changer? I hadn't really considered I would be able to claim even a fraction of the domain. I guess I should be thanking myself for the fact I was sitting down right now because this one was a doozy.
It was a good thing I was a goddess and not a normal human since I'm pretty sure a normal human would have died from the info dump I just recieved. From the knowledge of Araby's Fakirs, To Kislev's Ice witches to Albion's Truthsayers, to necromancers, to Drachenreich's own mages, all of their knowledge and skill is now mine.
I now knew how to create tiny ogham stones that can be placed inside fenbeasts to create powerful elemental guardians. I could take the element of ice from the world and the spirits to make snowmen. I can command the power of the four elements and summon elementals to do my will. I could raise an army of undead and command zombie dragons of my own. I could make magic lamps or amulets and shove intelligent elementals inside them to generate magical energy for me to cast spells with. All kinds of magic at my fingertips that I had little knowledge of before.
I could now see the links between elementalists, ice witches, and fakirs. The spirits or what a number of people would say are daemons, made up of the various beliefs of the very superstitious people of this world. Nearly all of them with little power to affect the world and much of what power they had was spent on bypassing the boundary between their world and the physical world. The elementals were concepts brought into the world by elementalists, Djinn were merely the same elementals but given personality and enhanced power from being the Arabyian version of gods.
I grabbed a new set of parchment as fast as I could so I could write down my ideas and theories, there was so much I could put together and make use of. The ability to create items that infinitely produced magical energy for the average mage was the solution to my private worries of the slowly dropping magic levels and the reduction of power that all of my mages would experience as every Aegis of Mordred was a very tiny drain on the magic in the world, a tiny and far lesser version of the Great Vortex.
Diagrams and words formed on the parchment in front of me faster than most would be able to realize, seemingly as if it just appeared on the page as long as no one looked at the multiple inkwells near me rapidly draining. Parchment became arrayed across the long table along the wall, waiting to dry as I kept producing more and more of it. Plans for improved elemental containers were drafted and then remade over and over. Rough drafts for the Aegis of Mordred Mark Two were made and set aside.
This frenzy of work came to an halt as the one thing I had been trying to consciously ignore had urgent and loud cal- prayers for protection and salvation started sounding from hundreds of voices. I set down my work and turned my mind's eye to the small town seeking my aid. I saw why they were praying almost right away. A Chaos snake was flying in their direction and getting closer very fast.
I could use god mode and zap myself over there but I might as well make use of this opportunity to truly test out my abilities as a god. Instinctively, I knew what I could and should do. Grasping the energy created by the desperate prayers of the townsfolk, I weaved it into a spell. Making use of my four domains of dragons, salvation, lightning and magic to create a divine magical lightning bolt that would save my people and destroy one of the former dragons that I cursed hours ago.
The townsfolk gasped as they witnessed the magic lightning bolt formed above them, shining light in the dark night sky. The Chaos snake also took note of it, and roared out its defiance. That didn't save it as my lightning bolt struck and the twin headed snake was turned to ash, as if an angry goddess smited it. I smiled to myself as prayers of thanks and joy were sent my way from the relieved townsfolk. Sometimes, it was good to be me.
Chapter Four, A Goddess in Full.
The rest of my coronation was kind of a blur to me. In my distraction, I defaulted to my father's ingrained training for dealing with other nobles and just people in general and went into auto pilot. I'm sure that most of the people there could tell that I was somewhat out of it after I was crowned but I doubt that they realized the real reason why.

It wouldn't be enough for what I really wanted to do but it would have to do for the smaller scale tests. First was a simple reinforcement with careful movements. For years now, I had been turning my "neutral" mana into lightning aspected mana when reinforcing myself so as to tap into the raw speed and power lightning had despite the lesser durability enhancement it had compared to the original.
Which made things interesting now that I have lightning as my domain. With a deep breath, I activated my Mana Burst Lightning and very carefully moved around. It was a good thing I got some mental enhancements from this because otherwise I would have just face planted into the wall and possibly out the other side of it, into the three story drop outdoors. This was a whole new level of physical enhancement for me, I was actually going to have to spend some time getting used to it and make sure that I was able to use it to its fullest potential.

Unfortunately, not all of the dragons were ones I wanted alive, there were the zombie dragons although still thankfully few for now and then there were the Chaos dragons. Galrauch was a sad tale and his twisted spawn only enhanced that. Unfortunately for them, Chaos was still Chaos no matter how you joined up. I had no chance to free them of that, maybe if I had been there when Galrauch had been first infected but not now.
I had to curse them and block them from the new inflow of power I was granting them, letting them become even more active than they were would be very problematic. I got up from my seat and stood in the biggest clear space in the room. I had just been testing the new found power that my body and magic had gained from my ascension into godhood.

My head and chest also felt slightly heavier as I let my divinity manifest itself in my body from my soul outwards.

I could also feel the strain it was slowly forcing upon the world, I would have to avoid using god mode as much as possible or I might eventually be forced to leave the material world in order to not break reality into a million billion pieces like the Old Ones did when their polar gates broke.
The surge of power subsided for the moment, letting me realize what exactly just happened to my body. A quick glance down informed me that godhood came with a boobjob. A glance behind me and running my hands along the top of my head informed me that I was now a dragon girl too. It was stuff like this that made me wonder about my life sometimes.
Giving myself a full body shake, tail twitching, I turned my focus back to the reason why I turned myself into a literally divine magical dragon girl and started to focus on my link to the Chaos dragons. It was thinner than most of my other links to dragons but that made sense since they were claimed by the Chaos gods. I probably could only still connect to them because the original god of dragons had died early on and the Chaos gods had been lazy in removing their links to unfilled domains.
Raising my arms up with my palms facing each other, I formed my curse between them. "Accursed dragons of Chaos hear me. I, Mordred Pendragon, Goddess of Dragons, hereby curse you! May your long slumbers grow longer, and with each year that passes, may you weaken even more. No longer shall you inflict your taint on the dragon race, forever more, you shall no longer be dragons but mere snakes!" I spoke into the minds of each Chaos snake as my curse applied itself into what passed for their souls and my power fled them.
I dropped my arms and sagged a bit as a large amount of my new found power drained from me to power the curse I just cast. It was much like the first time I used Mana Burst, the large drain was more than what I was used to even if I had a fair amount of my reserves left, I would have to use it more in order to get used to it albeit I kind of would rather not have to use my god mode on a large enough scale that I get used to the power drain of cursing entire sub species.
I rallied myself again a few moments later, I still needed to deal with the zombie dragon problem. I had a slightly smaller connection to the zombie dragons than I had with the Chaos snakes but it still fell into my wheelhouse as all parts of a dragon's life and death fell under my domain. Assuming the same position as I did just a minute ago, I began to speak.
"I, Mordred Pendragon, Goddess of Dragons, hereby curse any and all of those who would defile a dragon's grave so that they may bind them to unliving slavery! Now and forever onward, those who would defile a dragon's rightful rest shall find that their work enfeebled and draining. For each day that one would enslave a dragon into undeath, is another that their power is further weakened." With the curse cast, I moved over to the nearest chair and collapsed into it.
Perhaps it had been a bit much to cast two curses back to back using a domain I had just gotten mere minutes ago and when I had not even completely finished with my ascension into godhood. Oh well, I had already done it. Although now that I was thinking about it, the black dragons of the dark elves also need to be dealt with. But that will have to wait for another day when I'm not so exhausted from cursing two different groups.
Still, for now I'll cut the dark elf aligned dragons off from me, no need to make life harder for the high elves and anyone else who has to deal with those edgy bastards. The dismay and other negative emotions I felt as I cut off the flow of power to them was almost enough to guilt trip me into giving it back but I knew nothing good would come from my mercy. I could feel their twisted minds, they were not people I would let live if I met them face to face.
I then remembered that prior to becoming a dragon goddess, I was trying to tap into the speed of lightning. Since I was still in god mode, I figured I might as well give it a shot. Turns out? It is really easy to tap into when you are both the god of lightning in body and soul and not just in soul. In less than a second, I moved from my workshop to near the marshes of madness, my favorite testing site.
Here, I wanted to test one last ability of my god mode that I couldn't test anywhere indoors. With a deep breath, I flipped the mental switch. Moments later, I was a dragon shaped dragon. A western style dragon to be exact. From craning my neck, I could guess that I was about double the size of that thug of a dragon that got one punched by me earlier in the year. So, bigger than most but nothing special.
I walked around a bit, marveling at how natural it felt to just be in this form. I had none of the troubles most would think of when such a drastic change happened to a person's body. That probably had to do with me being a goddess of dragons. I had one last thing I wanted to do before I zapped myself back to my workshop and deactivated god mode.
With a few flaps of my wings, I started ascending into the sky. The world below became tiny as I rose into the air and started flying in no particular direction. I just let myself embrace the luxury of flying with no goal in mind, my speed causing me to do a lap around the planet in the hour I spent enjoying the freedom of flight. It was when I realized that I had passed Drachenreich a bit ago despite having been flying in the opposite direction that made me realize I had been doing this for far too long.
A quick midair change back into being a human shaped dragon later and then an even quicker change into lightning and then I was back in my workshop. Another moment later, I was no longer in god mode. My tail, horns and boobjob reverted and I was back to normal thankfully. I wasn't sure what I was going to do if I had been permanently stuck with a tail and horns.
As I was back in my base form, I realized that I wasn't going to be able to use my "turns into lightning" trick unless I was in god mode or my body became close enough to that state that there was practically no difference. Either way, if I kept using it, I would be forced to never return sooner or later. Which meant I would have to avoid using it as much as possible, perrably never again despite how much I enjoyed the flight I just went on, it's not worth abandoning my children and any descendants they would give me.
Fortunately, I was already very fast and I could just work on increasing my speed via magic instead of godly power. I was already roughly fast enough to lap the world in three hours in my base form with no magical enhancements, no need to worry too much about not being able to move at the speed of light without consequences.
It was a couple hours later that it occurred to me that I could make use of my domain of lightning to turn my sons' future weapons and armor into something far beyond what I originally had planned. The difference between now and before when it came to my ability to do anything lightning related was like trying to figure out who was the better Caster between pre grail war Shirou Emiya and Merlin. The difference between the two was so big that they might as well be incomparable if not for the fact I had just compared them to each other.
As I plopped down into my chair and pulled out some sheets of parchment, another domain slotted in. Salvation, not a domain I would think of but something that made a lot of sense in hindsight. My first actions in this world had been to save the empire from rampaging greenskins and then lead a makeshift army to go finish the job. I then led my people from the armies of the emperor and protected them from those who would prey upon them as they started over in the borderlands. I then later became the salvation of thousands of mages as I founded the school of magic that teaches them all how to use their cursed gift without falling into darkness and Chaos.
From there, I led the reclamation of Karak Drazh, becoming the light at the end of the tunnel for the near suicidal dwarfs who wished to return to their ancestral home. And from a certain point of view, you could say I was the savior of the borderlands as I freed them from the death, chaos, and depravity of those who ruled them. In a lot of ways, I had set myself up to eventually become the salvation for those who have opposed the undead, Chaos, and all of those like them. And if I had my way, it would come to pass, freedom from the undead, the daemon, and the wicked for everyone.
Uh, woah. I mentally went over what I just thought, because that sounded a lot like that Warhammer Forty Thousand quote about killing and purging mutants, heretics, and xenos. Not really something I wanted to become, I would have to keep an eye on myself to make sure I don't go overboard with that kind of thing, even if a certain level of that was needed to just keep everything running without it turning into Chaos.
I set down my writing instrument and stretched out before sagging back into my chair and just staring off into space. So much for the good mood I had from that flight I did earlier. This latest domain was all about me doing what it meant, saving people from harm, ruin, or loss. But this wasn't just the obvious thing of protecting people from physical harm or saving those at risk of falling into Chaos.
It was saving them from themselves, to bring those who would engage in self destructive habits into a healthy state of mind, to give shelter to others from their grief and pain, to teach the beggar how to fish, to be the light at the end of the long tunnel. This is the power of therapy and helping people make intelligent life choices. I wondered to myself as I stared into my hands, what the hell have I gotten myself into?
Well… I was basically at Naruto's level of Talk no Jutsu now. That's a thing I guess? I'm not nearly powerful enough to take on the Chaos gods all working together which is what I would need to be if I ever wanted to exercise my full power over the domain of salvation. Well, I suppose that I could try the Talk no Jutsu on the Chaos gods but well… Their domains are kind of incompatible with converting into being a good guy and there was no way they would be willing to kill themselves in order to find "salvation" in their final act like Darth Vader.
Anyway, I suppose my latest domain would come in handy for saving those who wouldn't cause the four to freak out and toss all of their available resources at me in hopes of killing me. It wouldn't work, especially now. But it would end up with the vast majority of everyone around us dead and me barely managing to keep a small chunk of land from being overwhelmed. The effects of this happening would not be good for anyone alive and most importantly, my kids would suffer quite a bit in this scenario.
Unlike my father, I realized that The Anime Dad's Guide was supposed to be a joke and thus have done what I could to avoid doing things described in the guide. I mean, I turned out okay somehow but it's not really something I would recommend subjecting your own children to when you can murderize everything that looks at them wrong, or better yet, teach your kids how to murderize everything that looks at them wrong themselves.
With that cheerful thought, my soul finished its years long work. I have truly finished transcending into godhood as my last but definitely not least domain finally connected to me. Magic, something I really should have expected considering what I've done but since the most well known deity of magic here is The Changer? I hadn't really considered I would be able to claim even a fraction of the domain. I guess I should be thanking myself for the fact I was sitting down right now because this one was a doozy.
It was a good thing I was a goddess and not a normal human since I'm pretty sure a normal human would have died from the info dump I just recieved. From the knowledge of Araby's Fakirs, To Kislev's Ice witches to Albion's Truthsayers, to necromancers, to Drachenreich's own mages, all of their knowledge and skill is now mine.
I now knew how to create tiny ogham stones that can be placed inside fenbeasts to create powerful elemental guardians. I could take the element of ice from the world and the spirits to make snowmen. I can command the power of the four elements and summon elementals to do my will. I could raise an army of undead and command zombie dragons of my own. I could make magic lamps or amulets and shove intelligent elementals inside them to generate magical energy for me to cast spells with. All kinds of magic at my fingertips that I had little knowledge of before.
I could now see the links between elementalists, ice witches, and fakirs. The spirits or what a number of people would say are daemons, made up of the various beliefs of the very superstitious people of this world. Nearly all of them with little power to affect the world and much of what power they had was spent on bypassing the boundary between their world and the physical world. The elementals were concepts brought into the world by elementalists, Djinn were merely the same elementals but given personality and enhanced power from being the Arabyian version of gods.
I grabbed a new set of parchment as fast as I could so I could write down my ideas and theories, there was so much I could put together and make use of. The ability to create items that infinitely produced magical energy for the average mage was the solution to my private worries of the slowly dropping magic levels and the reduction of power that all of my mages would experience as every Aegis of Mordred was a very tiny drain on the magic in the world, a tiny and far lesser version of the Great Vortex.
Diagrams and words formed on the parchment in front of me faster than most would be able to realize, seemingly as if it just appeared on the page as long as no one looked at the multiple inkwells near me rapidly draining. Parchment became arrayed across the long table along the wall, waiting to dry as I kept producing more and more of it. Plans for improved elemental containers were drafted and then remade over and over. Rough drafts for the Aegis of Mordred Mark Two were made and set aside.
This frenzy of work came to an halt as the one thing I had been trying to consciously ignore had urgent and loud cal- prayers for protection and salvation started sounding from hundreds of voices. I set down my work and turned my mind's eye to the small town seeking my aid. I saw why they were praying almost right away. A Chaos snake was flying in their direction and getting closer very fast.
I could use god mode and zap myself over there but I might as well make use of this opportunity to truly test out my abilities as a god. Instinctively, I knew what I could and should do. Grasping the energy created by the desperate prayers of the townsfolk, I weaved it into a spell. Making use of my four domains of dragons, salvation, lightning and magic to create a divine magical lightning bolt that would save my people and destroy one of the former dragons that I cursed hours ago.
The townsfolk gasped as they witnessed the magic lightning bolt formed above them, shining light in the dark night sky. The Chaos snake also took note of it, and roared out its defiance. That didn't save it as my lightning bolt struck and the twin headed snake was turned to ash, as if an angry goddess smited it. I smiled to myself as prayers of thanks and joy were sent my way from the relieved townsfolk. Sometimes, it was good to be me.

How many non chaotic dragons are young enough to learn how to live with humans nearby?
Since the older ones will just not villages for laughs.

I think the only ones instinctively knowing the difference would be... the other dragons.The dragons that just got an all-across-the-board solid boost. And they know that anyone playing with undead dragons will pay for it. I can't see any even halfway sane dragon have a problem with that. And the dragons will almost instinctively know that if they jump ship and start worshipping Chaos? Well... sure, you could, but then you have to turn in your "Dragon" card and take a "Snake" card instead. I suspect Chaos recruitment among dragons are going to get to a screeching stop. Sure, some will get tricked or infected or whatever, but flat out recruitment? Nope.

This chapter feels better than normal... A great ending too.
Can Mordred split her mind to form multiple thought processes? Because she'll probably need one or two just to deal with constant prayers and her other domains too. I'm guessing she's going to go ahead to her official religion as well. Best to get ahead of it and form a proper orthodoxy before people come up with stuff on thier own.

Good thing her head just got bigger
Her kids are/will be completely human looking despite being something around 45% part dragon.
settling into the kingdom as in living among all the humans? highly unlikely to ever happen. They might settle down in the "nearby" mountains if they are particularly paranoid/reverent but well... No one just uproots their entire life to go live with people they don't give a shit about at best just because they got a new pseudo stepmom that is nice to them. I say paranoid because if anything happens to Mordred, they go right back to slowly slipping into comas they will eventually never wake from.
It's less brainwashing and more that no one acknowledge as dragons anymore. Any writings and other records about Chaos dragons now say Chaos snakes. No one can call them dragons at all, stuttering endlessly until they call them something other than dragon.
Uh, not many. But most don't really have a reason why to live with humans that are just going to die in a few moments by their perspective.
You are like 5-6 years too late for that, Mordred's cult has solidified into its own thing for a while now. She has done some stuff with it and made sure that they aren't doing anything she doesn't like but until the last two chapters, she didn't really have a reason(or was in denial) to believe that godhood was ever going to be a thing for her so she just let them do their thing as long as there wasn't official stuff done in her name she didn't approve of.
It is kind of weird and arbitrary but Mordred does have crazy levels of multitasking but only for handling things like prayers and many of Mordred's goddess duties. So she can handle the tens/hundreds of thousands of people praying to her every day individually but has no ability to study multiple branches of magic at once or even write down notes on two separate topics with two hand, one for each topic.
The empire won't have much of an opinion change for Mordred considering that they already knew she was a witch.
You do realize that Mordred just gave the high/wood elves back all of their sleeping dragons right? They can now have small armies of dragon riders to send after their enemies who still have their spiritually exhausted dragons if they have dragons at all.
Mordred also isn't getting dragons to fight for her, I've answered this in my earlier impromptu Q&A but Mordred is kind of the dragon race's mascot as their god rather than an authority figure. They aren't going to all start flocking towards her like rabid fans, they do have some pride as dragons. She can suggest that they do things and ask that they do something for her and typically they will follow it partly because she can kick their ass and two because of the respect and appreciation they feel for acting as their goddess but free will is still a thing. If she did try to demand things of them then she is only cementing her inevitable betrayal as the demands grind heavily against their draconic egos even if she is their goddess.

Basically what I am picking up is . . . . . Dracothion would like to know your location.
He doesn't exist. Also, I had to google who he was which tells you how little I know about AoS and is another reason why I'm going with my own headcanon stuff.
