Became a tyrant of defense games - Episode 447
◈ 447. [Side Story] King of kings (2)
Ecliptic, New Terra.
Aegis Special Forces Headquarters. commander's office.
“…….”
In this bleak, narrow room with no decoration, Fernandez was sitting cross-legged on a hard, simple chair, looking at documents..
Then boom! The door to the commander's office opened with a loud noise, and members of the special forces came rushing in..
“majesty. I caught the last rat.”
They forcibly took a woman dressed in black and threw her in front of Fernandez..
“Big black!”
The woman, whose arms were tied behind her back, groaned and fell over..
“It's mourning clothes.…….”
Fernandez looked at the woman's outfit and muttered dryly..
“‘Did you say ‘Women after the Wind’? There are many other good uniforms, but I don't know why I only wear those uniforms..”
“…….”
“The name of the organization is also strange. The outfit, the name, are all Ash's tastes??”
Then the woman, who had been moaning with her forehead on the floor, slowly raised her eyes..
A black veil draped over her face - she grinned through her morning veil..
“You must be mistaken, Your Highness Fernandez..”
“……?”
“Creating an organization, wearing these clothes, and trying to stop you... … This is all something we did voluntarily. It has nothing to do with the current Ash..”
Fernandez tilted his head..
“It has nothing to do with the current Ash... … So does it have something to do with Ash from the past??”
“Yes, to some extent. Because Ash, whom we loved, passed away when he was 23 years old..”
Fernandez's eyes lit up. the woman continued.
“It is he who we loved in the past. The person we risked our lives to follow is the same person from the past..”
“indeed. That's why you wore mourning clothes..”
“…….”
“Well, I don't mind your motivations..”
Fernandez crossed his legs in the opposite direction..
“You ruined my plan brilliantly. Thanks to you, there was quite a setback. But now that we've finished hunting down the last member of your organization... … I can't disturb you anymore.”
“I wanted to upset Your Majesty a little more, but it ended up being a shame..”
“This is rotten enough to rot. These are women who loved their younger brother. Even the rotting insides are the same..”
Fernandez laughed. The woman also laughed along..
“I have no intention of living in squalor. Please kill me quickly..”
“I won't kill you.”
The woman made a puzzled expression. Fernandez grinned..
“You are also a subject of the Everblack Empire, and a citizen of New Terra. Allow me to go with you to the new world.”
“Oh my, you are merciful too..”
“of course… … If you can endure the torture and confessions that our Aegis Special Forces boast about..”
The special task force agents standing behind her took out the dream confession pill from their arms..
The woman let out a long sigh and glanced at Fernandez..
“Let me just say one last word. You are crazy, His Highness Fernández..”
“I know.”
Fernandez readily agreed..
“不狂不及 (不狂不及). There is a level that you cannot reach unless you reach it..”
“…….”
“And that goes for Ash too..”
Fernandez waved his hand lightly..
“Drag it away. After getting all the information out, keep them in prison until the day the 'Ark' sets sail..”
“honorary name!”
The woman was dragged outside. The agents rushed out together..
Raina, an elderly female wizard who was watching this scene next to Fernandez, bowed her head to Fernandez..
“I'm sorry, Your Majesty. Because I am incompetent... … It took time to weed them out..”
“There's nothing to be sorry about, Lord Rayna. Not everything goes as planned.”
I expected sabotage..
One way or another, there are bound to be disruptions to the schedule. Isn’t that why you prepared for this from very early on?.
‘The monster will destroy the world in about a year from now..’
Before that, the ecliptic was occupied and the ark was put into operation..
Setbacks of a few days to several months will not be a problem..
“So, now the shutdown protocol only needs to complete maintenance work and replenishment of magic power sources. The ark is also nearing completion..”
“That's right.”
“What else should we do, Lord Reyna??”
Reina answered immediately..
“ascend to the throne.”
“…….”
Fernandez, who was speechless for a moment, kept his mouth shut. Raina said one more time.
“Haven't you decided to become a leader who leads the surviving human race? The one who will rule over humanity in the final ark is the one who tells you.”
“…….”
“You won the battle for the throne and took the imperial capital. Even if you call yourself emperor, no one will be able to refute you. What are you hesitating about??”
In front of the silent Fernandez, Reina spoke once more forcefully..
“The king of kings who rules the world... … Ascend to the throne of the Everblack Empire.”
“……Emperor.”
Fernandez sighed briefly..
“It's already been a year since Abama was imprisoned in the spirit world. I intentionally stopped Everblack's functions, preventing him from returning to the real world..”
“No matter how great you are, it is impossible to last more than a year in the spirit world without any other preparations. By now…….”
must have died.
Raina swallowed back words and lowered her head..
“……Excuse me. You said something profane..”
“What a blasphemous thing. It's not even possible. If you call it blasphemy, then what will become of me, a person who committed adultery myself??”
Fernandez smiled bitterly and stood up..
“okay. I have to do it anyway, so it would be funny to hesitate any longer..”
“If you come here.”
“Prepare for the coronation ceremony.”
Before invoking the shutdown protocol.
It would be possible to provide a final festival to the people of New Terra..
“After the emperor ascended the throne, a shutdown protocol was activated by imperial order. Let's put everyone in New Terra on the ark and leave for the spirit world..”
“Honor name. Then, we will prepare the coronation ceremony together..”
“please.”
Reina gave a polite salute and left the commander's office..
“…….”
Fernandez slowly stood up and looked out the window..
There were few people on the streets of New Terra..
Everyone is locked in their homes, probably blaming Fernandez for giving this order..
“An emperor who is hated by all his people and who slaughters them.…….”
Fernandez laughed bitterly..
“He will remain the worst tyrant in history..”
Slowly removing the monocle and placing it on the table, Fernandez carefully examined the view of his beloved city with red eyes..
“……doesn't care.”
His bony fists were clenched..
“This is the only way for everyone to survive.”
Even if no one understands it, no matter what stigma it brings-
In the end, at the last moment, everyone will know.
The decision of the last king of kings, Emperor Fernandez of Everblack... … It is said that humanity has survived.
“Are you trying to stop me like this?.”
Fernandez looked at the southern sky and muttered softly..
“Now, let's settle the matter, Ash..”
It was time to put an end to the brothers' long saga..
***
southern end of the world.
Beneath the black lake, the lake kingdom.
The deepest part of Area 10. voraciousness.
《…….》
《…….》
《…….》
There are now only three Nightmare Corps commanders left at the long table in front of the throne room..
3rd place, Magic Emperor White Night.
Second in line, Cromwell, leader of the Demon Guardians.
Ranked 1st, Black Dragon Night Bringer.
These three didn't even care about the empty seats at the table..
Although they were collectively called the 'Nightmare Corps Commander', there was a significant difference in rank between these three and the remaining seven..
Whether the remaining seven legions would be wiped out or the entire Lake Kingdom would collapse - it really wasn't that big of a deal to them..
They were confident that if each of them stepped forward, they could destroy Inse without a trace..
But they all had something to worry about.
《…….》
《…….》
《…….》
The three looked at the empty throne..
The Demon King's seat was vacant..
The Demon King, who boasted that he would resurrect them in this world and give them a chance to get revenge on Royalty, has not been seen for the past few months..
Unable to bear it anymore, they gather here every day for an audience even though the Imperial Council has not been convened, but the Demon King still has not dealt with them..
《The King of Kings.》
The black dragon Night Bringer let out a solemn voice, his golden eyes flashing between his long, scattered black hair..
《How long are you going to stay out of the house? Are you finally tired of this childish play house??》
《Let's wait a little longer.》
The answer was given by Cromwell, commander of the Guardian Corps..
She has red skin, white hair, and deer antlers, and is a direct subordinate of the Demon King, and is also the leader of the demon guardians guarding the castle..
《He said that since this was the last game, there were no more chances, and he continued… … Searching through people's nightmares.》
《Haven't you already combed through the nightmares of the residents here over the past five hundred years? But is there still a nightmare that hasn't been found??》
The Demon King thoroughly dug into the nightmares of the residents of the Lake Kingdom and refined the fear inherent in them..
Monsters that invaded to destroy Inse and were defeated..
Even though they were eradicated, the fears were imprinted in the minds, genes, and souls of the Lake Kingdom residents..
By forcibly bringing out those memories, the Demon King revived them. All of these monsters were resurrected through this process..
This process has been carried out for over 500 years, and most of the monsters that existed in this world have already been resurrected..
The Demon King was wandering through a nightmare looking for someone he still couldn't find..
《……Could be more than five hundred years.》
The last person to join the conversation was the Magic Emperor Byakuya..
Both the Night Bringer and Cromwell looked towards the midnight sun with bewildered eyes..
A lich with a beaded crown and a large amulet covering his face..
This was because Baekya, the great magician, had never spoken in his voice before..
Byakya moved her lips under the amulet and continued speaking..
《Because the King of kings is a transcendent being. Maybe, even earlier… … You may have done this.》
《It's even older... … ? How is that possible??》
《…….》
Byakuya said no more and kept his mouth shut..
The Night Bringer glared at the throne with bored eyes..
《Anyway, doesn't that mean there is no result? I don't know how great of a monster the being I'm looking for is, but as a subordinate, I feel frustrated that the King of Kings is wasting his time on useless things..》
《…….》
《If he declared himself the king of kings, all the kings under him would have wished for him… … Shouldn’t we finish the task we started together?.》
As the Night Bringer's voice mixed with intense dissatisfaction, Cromwell glared at him..
《Nightbringer, you… … I'm sure you don't plan on going against the King of Kings.?》
《Is there anything you can't do? If a leader fails to do his job, it is natural for him to be eaten by someone stronger below him..》
Night Bringer chuckled..
《To be the king of kings, in other words, means that all subordinates under him are also kings. And those who wear the crown cannot tolerate anyone being above them..》
《If you are really plotting a treason……!》
Cromwell's antlers radiated red magic. As if they were going to attack Night Bringer at any moment..
《I must destroy royalties.》
The Night Bringer glared at the demon without blinking..
《I will destroy anyone who tries to extinguish my flame of vengeance. Even if it is the one who brought me back to life here.》
A pitch-black energy swirled throughout the black dragon’s body..
In an imminent situation, just before the two nightmare corps leaders collide,-
《Sorry this is late.》
Suddenly, a relaxed voice was heard..
《Because I'm so busy with construction work. I hope you understand generously.》
Let the three nightmare army commanders turn their eyes-
Before I knew it, I saw a black shadow sitting on the throne..
Devil.
King of monsters.
A white crack opened in the center of the face made up of pitch black shadows, and a grin appeared..
《So, what were you talking about??》
