Became a tyrant of defense games - Episode 461
◈ 461. [Side Story] Everything Black
Fernandez was sitting on the throne.
On that throne frozen white and transparent with thorns.
“……It's time.”
Thorn Tree - Fernandez, who was connected to Everblack with his eyes closed, muttered this..
At the same time,
Saaaaa…….
The throne that had been frozen white for several years began to slowly melt..
The black thorn tree surrounding the throne also regained its vitality as if spring had returned..
Since it was Fernandez who initially used magic to freeze Everblack, he thawed it again when it was time to restart it in earnest..
“Because I always had a spark.”
Kugugugugung Palace-!
The thorn tree, which regained the warmth it had lost, began to grow rapidly. As if I wanted to get back the time that had been frozen over the past few years..
“……The plan is in its final stages. The ark will soon be completed.”
Fernandez raised his eyes and looked ahead..
“Are you coming to stop me, Ash??”
Fernandez's dark red eyes smiled softly..
“good night. As an end to the long and bitter relationship between you and me, this ending wouldn't be a bad ending..”
The black thorn tree grew endlessly..
In the everblack covering, Fernandez whispered softly..
“Come back, my brother doesn't have much patience..”
***
Ride the Kraken and race through the center of the ecliptic..
The giant monster ran forward, destroying not only the sidewalk blocks but also all the beautiful decorations of the ecliptic, such as fountains and statues..
At first, my colleagues looked at it with sad faces, but after a while they got used to it and just stared blankly at the marble fragments flying in all directions..
“Fifth fountain destroyed... … Are you okay, boss? Everything looks really expensive.”
“are you okay. You can rebuild the fountain.”
“Wow! The founding monument of the empire was paid in two pieces.!”
“It’s okay… … Is it going to be okay? The original will be stored separately.…….”
“Wow, the statue of His Majesty, the first emperor of the empire, has been smashed! Wasn't that one of Hwangdo's best specialties??!”
“…….”
Hey, it'll be okay, maybe.
This is a national emergency, right? It's a crisis in which everyone in the city could die if we're too careful..
I think my ancestors would be lenient if I destroyed some statues. It's definitely true!
“Yes, we have to stop it!”
“deter intruders-!”
“Don't let them go to the imperial palace.!”
The imperial soldiers tried to stop the Kraken somehow, but,
“Wow!”
“Damage, damage! I can't stop that!”
“Please contact the imperial palace quickly.-”
When this monster's large body approached my eyes, I couldn't overcome my fear and hurriedly escaped..
If you were a veteran soldier of the Southern Front, you would know that it is not easy for an ordinary human to stop such a scary-looking monster..
Anyway, our progress was very easy..
The Thorn Palace was quickly approaching. At this rate, we can arrive quickly.…….
Kugugugugung Palace!
It was then.
A terrifying vibration sound was heard from the imperial palace far away. My colleagues and I all looked there in shock..
Quaguagwang-!
Old towers collapse.
The imperial palace of the Everblack Empire, which had been endlessly expanded without receiving a single request from outside the country since its title, was collapsing..
Black, pointed towers collapsed, spewing thick smoke and dust..
and at the same time,
Kwasik, Kwasik, Kwasik!
grew up.
From underground, thick and huge black thorn tree trunks began to rise up..
I shouted in confusion, knowing full well the identity of that tree..
“Everblack?!”
It was Everblack, the guardian of humanity..
The entire palace was swallowed up by the enormously swollen Everblack. The tree was proliferating to a strange degree, spreading out sharp trunks in all directions..
“……This is crazy.”
Looking at this, I muttered in bewilderment..
“It has literally become a palace of thorns.…….”
“Um, is that tree okay, boss?! It's a little scary?!”
Kuilan stammered with a pale complexion..
“I feel the same energy as the cursed maple tree of my tribe. But it's much more than that... … something inorganic…….”
“I have a good feeling, Kuilan. that's right. That tree is the same as the maple tree of your race..”
The difference is that it is a chimera tree made by combining guardian trees of several races..
and… … The bastard who now occupies that tree is trying to wield that tree's enormous power to kill his compatriots..
“They've taken over the palace now, but later they'll cover the entire city..”
Human sacrifice magic circle installed underground in the Imperial Capital, Shutdown Protocol.
Using this, everyone in the ecliptic was melted into their spiritual bodies and at the same time, the enormous energy generated from human sacrifice was injected into Everblack..
The multiplied Everblack covers the entire city and completely isolates the Imperial Capital from the outside world..
And it absorbs the spiritual bodies of the people of the ecliptic and transmits them to the spirit world..
This is the identity of ‘Ark’.
‘Killing people to create energy, and using that energy to preserve people's souls?!’
It's a very wasteful and economical plan for massacre, my brother! you crazy bastard!
Tooung!
The Kraken hit the ground with its tentacle legs and sprinted as if flying through the air..
After an unstoppable advance, we quickly reached the imperial palace. But soon a problem arose.
bang-!
A huge, transparent magic barrier blocked us..
A magic shield installed from the main gate of the imperial palace, along the fence, and surrounding the outskirts..
Even though the inside of the imperial palace was in such dire straits, this protective magic was performing its role extremely well..
Gooooooo!
The Kraken roared wildly and swung its tentacle legs wildly..
However, no matter how special the monster was, it was impenetrable. The Kraken fiercely lashed out with its tentacles, but the barrier did not budge..
“If you don't open this from the inside, I won't be able to get in..”
I mumbled and looked towards the main gate of the imperial palace..
Behind the tightly closed main gate, there were soldiers looking at us with stern faces. I shouted at them.
“Imperial Palace Guard! open this door right now!”
“His Royal Highness Prince Ash. That can't be possible……!”
The guard captain, who seemed to know my face, stepped forward and shouted..
“This is the place where the Supreme Lord of the One Empire, Everblack, resides! There was a strict order not to allow anyone without permission to enter.!”
“Whose order? You mean the fake emperor Fernandez??”
I scoffed, pointed at myself with my thumb, and shouted..
“Hey, guard captain! You may not know this, but I have the authority to open this door just as much as our self-proclaimed emperor brother. Open it right now.”
“What are you saying? Opening and closing the main gate of the Imperial Palace is the sole authority of His Majesty the Emperor. His Majesty the Prince has no authority.…….”
“I am the true emperor, the acting authority of His Majesty Traha ‘Peacemaker’ Everblack. He gave me authority from Himself..”
I pointed to my own chest and said.
“Until your Majesty withdraws his authority, I can also use the same authority as your Majesty. Opening this door is of course within my discretion..”
“……You can't prove it, right?.”
The guard captain, who was gritting his teeth and thinking hard, glanced at me..
“How are you going to prove that you are his acting authority??”
“I already knew it would happen so I brought the certificate..”
I remember living in a country of public certificates. I know very well that it will be a pain if I don't take care of these things in advance..
“ruler.”
I gestured towards the back. Then I carefully carried the luggage brought by my colleagues forward..
It was a large coffin..
“Here is the certificate.”
I smiled and opened the coffin wide in front of the security guards who looked like they didn't understand what was going on..
And inside the coffin-
“……?!”
“Heo Eok!”
the emperor was lying down.
Lying like dead. Even wearing a sleeping mask. I was sleeping well.
Even though I was carrying it around like a piece of luggage, I didn't really move and just slept peacefully. I heard that this old man also has really strong nerves..
As someone who guarded the gate through which the emperor came and went all his life, the guard captain seemed to have recognized the emperor right away. The head of the guard immediately knelt down on his floor..
“Do you trust me now? His Majesty is currently in a deep sleep, but before that he handed over his authority to me and then went to sleep..”
“…….”
“Fernandez, who faked the death of His Majesty, who was still alive, and ascended the throne himself, is a traitor. Did you understand the situation? Then would you please open the door??”
“Ha, but…….”
I yelled at the guard captain who was still hesitant..
“Guard captain! Lift up your eyes and look straight ahead.!”
I pointed to the inside of the imperial palace, which was being engulfed by thorns, and to the city downtown, where citizens and soldiers were mixed together, causing great chaos..
“To see the city you have protected your whole life collapse.!”
“……!”
“Is it the form of the empire you are trying to protect, or the essence? Which one?!”
“Me, I…….”
“If you are truly a soldier of this country! If you have pride in protecting the imperial capital, the imperial palace, and the emperor! It should be clear what to protect!”
I shouted once more at the guard captain who kept his mouth shut and lowered his head..
“Answer! What do you really need to do??”
“……To protect the empire.”
“Then open the door. Join us in protecting the empire.”
I nodded heavily..
“this is your last chance.”
The hesitation didn't last long.
The security captain closed his eyes tightly and operated the opening and closing device of the front door. Soon the barrier blinked and turned off, and the thick iron gate of the main gate began to slowly open left and right..
‘Good thing.’
I sighed in relief..
In fact, Metalik, a double agent, was waiting near the front door. If necessary, kill the guards inside and open the front door..
However, there is no need to take lives that do not need to be lost. So I opened the door with as much verbal persuasion as possible..
Kugu Palace!
As soon as the door opened, Metallic and the remnants of the 1st Corps that had been ambushed behind the guard building poured out..
The guards looked surprised. It seems that only then did they realize that they were almost dead..
“Welcome, Your Highness.”
The remnants of the 1st Corps, along with the faltering imperial guards, greeted us. I operated the Kraken as gently as possible and entered the front door..
Metallic looked towards the imperial palace with a worried face. The thorn tree is still growing without knowing that it is high in the sky..
“……What are you going to do now??”
“Everyone has to do their job.”
I quickly instructed.
“My colleagues and I enter the imperial palace and stop Fernandez. Sir Metallic, you and the 1st Corps must rescue those imprisoned in the imperial palace prison, and also search for and rescue Brother Lark..”
“……thank you.”
Metallic bowed his waist. In the first place, Metallic and his 1st Legion were no different than Larc's personal guard, so they were probably just waiting for this order..
Afterwards, I gave instructions to the security guards who looked at me with bewildered faces..
“Imperial Palace Guard! You are mobilized to thwart the Shutdown Protocol..”
“I'll do as you tell me, but... … How exactly can we stop that??”
The guard captain asked in shock..
I curled up one corner of my mouth and grinned..
“Of course there's only one plan to stop the shutdown protocol.?”
I have a counter protocol prepared.
That's right,
“Also called Shut-up Protocol)!”
Shouting, I raised my hands and,
“activated-!”
struck down.
In the coffin right next to me, I looked towards my father's cheek, who was sleeping soundly, wearing a sleeping mask and snoring.!
Wow-!
With an exciting sound, the emperor's face turned sideways..
“…….”
“…….”
“…….”
Metallic, the 1st Legion, the Guard Captain, the Imperial Guard, all my colleagues, and even the Kraken..
Everyone looked at me with their mouths open and eyes full of shock..
and,
“……?”
The emperor slowly opened his eyes..
As if he couldn't understand this situation, the emperor had a puzzled expression on his face as he took off his sleeping mask..
He smoothed his just-hit cheek with his hand..
“……uh?”
I grinned at him, whose face was still half-asleep..
The emperor clearly said this.
- Until I withdraw my power, you are no different from the emperor of this country. Protect this empire with that authority..
therefore.
In terms of authority, I am the emperor now..
My father?
The authority was lent to me, and I have not yet taken back that authority, so I am currently in a state of 'no authority'..
“As the Emperor's Acting Authority, by the Emperor's authority, I give orders to His Majesty the Emperor.!”
In other words.
No matter how much you are the emperor, you must obey my orders now..
I shouted, pointing my finger at my father..
“save your country!”
He planned to leave it to the acting authority and just take a nap.?
What nonsense! You're the biggest cheat! I will use it wisely.!
My father, who was staring at me helplessly, slowly blurted out..
“crazy guy.”
Immediately afterwards, a deep smile appeared on the emperor's lips..
“This is my son.”
