Thanks for the chapter!
Ah yes, the fine line between a blessing and a curse.
I can definitely see this having repercussions in the long run;
Since I assume he gains the ridiculous lifespan of a dragon too.

 

[dArkus_Orion]

If he's a dragon in all but form, doesn't this mean he's gonna have a long-ass life? I think the Elves will be the only people who can live long like him, and maybe his kids if he has any

 

[KitRagnell]

Any other manga fantasy/isekai protagonist would be reveling in their newfound pseudo-immortality. Not the GOAT here.

Thank you for the translation!!

I think it depends on whether this 'curse' is intentional from Vala.

If it's intentional, I expect Wil to just age like normal while still maintaining most of his dragon power and pass away at whatever the 'finishing line' is.
If it's not and Wil also get the lifespan of a dragon...well, there's 2 goddesses who's in love with him...they can probably do something about it when he want to leave.

is he seriously concerned about not being able to be killed and actually feels bad for the politicians that won't be able to assassinate him?

Not in the sense that you might think.

He is saying that he is realizing that since he is now so strong 3 things are more likely to occur.

1. That many individuals will see his strength as a threat or challenge that needs to be dealt with. Whether these be other warriors, generals, or evil monsters.

2. That because his body is so durable now and strength so overwhelming. His death will more than likely be something equally overwhelming and rather very torturous or disturbing at worse. At the very least he can no longer expect to have a peaceful end to his life in the long run.

3. As he is now mythically strong from killing a beast of ancient times that even the gods acknowledge. Many will flock to him not simply as a hero, but as a prophet, a saint, or some other divine being. This naturally gives him a large amount of political influence, and makes his every word and action be taken more seriously. Along side that it in turn makes him a threat (whether he wants to be or not) to the stability of nations and other religious organizations, even good aligned ones. We even see this occur historically irl with how Jesus Christ was famously killed because his religion threatened Rome's stability. To put it simply, nations don't like it when prophets are born.

With the body of a dragon in human shape, then that just means the two Goddesses in love with him can romance without worrying about if he could handle it. It would be nice to have some demi-gods born in the future, hehe.

First time an MC acknowledges that a power-up is not always a good thing.

 

[PS_Dane]

All these people talking about a ridiculously long lifespan as if Stagnate didnt explicitly say that wasnt the case last chapter

 

[Tds-PdV]

Tbf, Will was already a big nail that stuck up and unhammerable before the journey.
Now he’s just an even bigger, resilient nail that’s bigger than the board.


In hindsight, he did make a grandiose oath to his waifu god, and in that world, it is expected that the trials are proportional to the blessing and oath. So, it’s not that surprising that life in peace is not an option.

Which honestly feels like an asspull just to keep him mortal.

Unwanted power is a curse.

 

[Scytale]

I honestly can't. "Oh no, I've become super powerful, woe is me!"

Feels like someone saying: "Oh no, I've become super rich! How am I going to handle so much money?!"

Or "Oh no, I've become super famous! Argh, how can I deal with this fame?"

Feels like the author wants us to pity his perfect MC, as if he didn't constantly get success, praise, power, blessings, and love. It comes across as a really sloppy way to write your OP isekai MC while trying to make him pitiable and relatable at the same time.

 

[ARealCoolGuy]

I was really expecting the goth looking warrior to die, after all, he just revealed to us that he's now in a relationship before setting out - that is such a big flag...
And yet nothing happened! What a tease!
Also, it's rather ironic that the Hero of the death and rebirth goddess will have such a long life.

With the way things are progressing, I'm starting to think that the only woman who'd be able to stand alongside William would have to be extraordinary...
And considering how Gracefeel behaved when Stagnate tried to "seduce" William, I'd say she could be a prime candidate.
Who knows?

 

[Madologist]

We full on Dragon's Dogma now, but there is no "end it all" blade.

Stagnate in life, Gracefeel in death.
