He Became The Most Insane Emperor Of All Time [EN]: Chapter 200

“This power… this is the power of creation…!”

A shiver ran down my spine.

I could feel the power to create anything and destroy anything at the same time.

It felt as if all the power I had until now was meaningless compared to this power of creation.

“I feel like I can do anything.”

“You! That power is mine!”

While reveling in the overflowing power, Conrad, enraged at having what he wanted stolen, rushed at me.

“Die!”

He gathered all his strength and emitted black lightning.

An attack that would have felt threatening just a moment ago.

But now, I perfectly understood the power I had obtained with the Dice of the Gods.

“I see it.”

Even the black lightning, I could see the principles of its composition, made up of 0s and 1s. [A reference to binary code, suggesting a fundamental understanding of reality].

The eyes of a god that can see through everything, the authority of a game master.

“Disappear.”

[‘Dice of the Gods – Dispel’ is activated.]

Crackle-

“Ah, no…!”

The intense black lightning disappeared ridiculously.

Conrad, who had put all his strength into it, was shocked to see that.

[Due to the limited administrator mode, the power of the Dice of the Gods is limited.]

[You can use the Dice of the Gods more depending on the amount of divinity you possess.]

It was a powerful ability. But one drawback was the very high consumption of divinity.

At this rate, I can’t use it often. To use it more, I had to accumulate more divinity.

“But it won’t be difficult to deal with someone like you.”

“Uaaaaaa! That’s my power! It’s mine!”

Conrad screamed as if he had gone mad. When he realized that black lightning was useless, he drew his demonic sword and tried to cut me down.

[Dice of the Gods – Strike of Annihilation]

Sreung-

Slash!

“Kuaaaaak!”

At that moment, Silver Rose, along with the demonic sword, slashed Conrad.

The power of annihilation granted by the Dice of the Gods.

Silver Rose, imbued with it, shone even more intensely.

Silver Rose, imbued with the power of annihilation, easily cut through Conrad’s tough demonic skin.

“No…! I, I almost… had it in my grasp….”

He crumbled into dust. It was a very futile end compared to his high ambitions.

“Ma, amazing. What on earth is that?”

“God… no, it’s something beyond God…!”

When Conrad died, the attacks of the wraiths stopped. His surviving followers were overwhelmed by the sight of me, emitting brilliant golden light.

-You have obtained that power, Emperor of the Empire.

The King of Wraiths, no, the one who was once the Emperor of the Empire, said to me.

“That’s right. But from the looks of it, there seems to be someone else who possesses this power besides me.”

I could feel it. Even this great power I have now is not originally complete.

There was someone who was in conflict over this power.

-That person is the Creator God. He lost the Dice of the Gods and his power was sealed, but now it will be released again.

That was what the emperor 1,500 years ago had accomplished.

-The Creator God tried to destroy the world for his own amusement. The Empire’s guardian deities resolutely opposed it. The Emperor protected the people of the Empire as their representative.

Swish, swish, swish….

His body was disappearing. Not only him, but also the legion of wraiths who had long protected the Dice of the Gods here, it was now time for them to return to nothingness.

-Emperor. Now the battle with him will begin. A new era of mythology will begin.

In the midst of disappearing, he said his last request to me.

-Please, protect the Empire that we tried to protect.

“……Rest assured and rest in peace, predecessor.”

-Thank you…….

Soon he disappeared.

I watched the place where he had been for a long time.

* * *

“As planned, the Dice of the Gods has been released. However, Conrad was unable to obtain it after all.”

Rasgar, the apostle of the Creator God, muttered, unable to hide his disappointment.

Of course, it wasn’t that disappointing because it was something he had expected anyway.

“As expected, the Emperor intervened. Stupid Conrad……. But even if I had known in advance, it wouldn’t have changed.”

No matter what happened, Conrad would never have been able to beat the Emperor, so it was only natural.

Rasgar thought that he should be satisfied with the release of the Dice of the Gods from the seal.

It would have been nice to have obtained it directly, but it was still okay because the Emperor wouldn’t be able to use it completely.

There was a more urgent problem to worry about than that.

-Rasgar, proceed with the next plan.

The Creator God’s plan did not end here.

The Dice of the Gods was only the beginning.

To release the seal, the Empire had been intentionally left to grow to some extent until now.

“Creator God… the Empire is still weak. Isn’t it right to strike them now?”

It’s not that he dares to question his plan, but Rasgar just wanted to erase the Empire.

Now that the Creator God has been released, is there any need to leave them alone?

He thought it would be possible if he exerted his true power.

-You have become arrogant, Rasgar.

“I… I’m sorry, Creator God.”

However, at the Creator God’s cold words, Rasgar was immediately embarrassed and bowed his head.

-My power is not yet complete. If we strike the Empire now, it will be a close battle at best. Above all, do not underestimate the Emperor.

“I will keep that in mind, Creator God. I was short-sighted.”

It’s not that he doesn’t have any inner dissatisfaction, but it’s impossible to go against the Creator God’s will.

Rasgar decided to be faithful to his orders.

-Good. Then prepare. Prepare to cause the Great Cataclysm.

“Yes, Great Creator.”

The Great Cataclysm.

A plan to buy time for the Creator God as he recovers his strength.

“Human Emperor, I’ll see if you can withstand it.”

When the ancient gods awaken, whether you can protect your empire.

* * *

“Is everyone here?”

“Yes, Your Majesty. All the officials are waiting for your return.”

After wiping out the Dawnlight Society and obtaining the Dice of the Gods, I returned to the Imperial Palace.

I immediately summoned all the officials. After confirming that all the recently joined Doppelgangers and my three wives were gathered, I opened my mouth.

“The Empire has won once again. The Dice of the Gods is now the Empire’s. But there’s also bad news.”

“If it’s bad news…?”

“The Dice of the Gods has been released, and the Creator God has also begun to regain his power. As time goes by, he will become stronger.”

“That….”

Everything has a price. The price of obtaining the power of creation was not cheap.

Perhaps that was what the Creator God planned in this case.

To regain his power that was sealed by the people of the Empire 1,500 years ago. That’s why he sent Conrad, because it was only possible by the people of the Empire.

Perhaps he expected or knew of my intervention.

“But there’s no need to worry too much. We just need to become stronger.”

“It will be more than possible with Your Majesty.”

“Of course. But it’s not just words.”

With those words, I activated the Dice of the Gods.

[Dice of the Gods – Creation]

[You can now create new objects. If you already know the technical knowledge, you can create them with less divinity.]

[The more difficult it is to make something at the current level of civilization, the more difficult it is to create.]

“Oh oh…….”

“This is the power of creation…….”

A dazzling golden light swirled above my palm.

Soon, several objects were being created from that light.

More improved firearms that could be reloaded and fired in rapid succession, and gunpowder that no longer needed to rely solely on magic, poured out.

Runeswords that even farmers could imbue with Aura [Magical energy] to a limited extent were created, and convenience tools such as electric lights that could emit light on their own with magic were created.

“Now we can implement the technical knowledge that is sleeping in Prospera’s Report.”

“Indeed! That’s it, Your Majesty. We can develop the Empire faster with this!”

I nodded at Sarah’s words.

If all goes well, wouldn’t it be a world where cars are commercialized in about 20 years?

Of course, the Ratmen used steam tanks in Prospera’s Report, but that was a relic that had been sleeping in the report for over a thousand years.

However, several conditions were required for that to be possible.

“To do that, my divinity must become much stronger than it is now.”

“Then…….”

“The cooperation of the Imperial Church is needed.”

Divinity increases with the faith of believers or followers who worship the being. Or you have to build powerful achievements or steal the divinity of another god.

Both must be done in parallel, but until now, it felt like I had accumulated more through the latter than the former.

As many enemies as the Empire had, I was able to endure the trials and become stronger.

But now that alone was not enough.

“Stella, that’s why I need your help.”

“I understand, I’ll discuss with the Pope how to improve the doctrine.”

In fact, strengthening the religion further here was not something I was comfortable with.

I was worried that it might become excessive personal worship of me, or that it might become a theocratic state.

Personal worship can easily become like North Korea or a cult, and a theocratic state is a minus for national development in the long run.

“Yes, if everyone does their job, that’s it…….”

[‘Throne of Prosperity’ has detected a significant danger.]

“Hmm?”

“What’s wrong, Your Majesty?”

Bright, the Prime Minister, asked what was wrong when my expression hardened at the sudden message.

[A ‘Great Cataclysm’ is about to occur across the continent by the opposing administrator ‘Creator God’.]

[Ancient gods are awakening and ancient forces and races are returning.]

[There will be major geological and climate changes.]

[Additional threats such as epidemics, famines, and wars may occur due to the Great Cataclysm.]

[The Empire’s destruction countdown has begun. The current stage is ‘Preparing for the Threat’.]

“This is… not good.”

The Creator God was already launching a preemptive strike.

It’s not exactly a direct attack, but just looking at the string of system messages, it was not a normal level of threat.

“Listen, everyone. New threats to the Empire will appear.”

Simultaneously, I may not be able to stop everything at once.

“The Empire will be tested again. A tremendous ordeal and hardship will begin.”

Sreung-

I drew Silver Rose. Silver Rose emitted a brilliant silver light.

“But do not lose courage. The fate of the people of the Empire rests on your shoulders.”

The Empire will face trials.

But it will endure.

Disaster will strike the Empire.

But it will overcome it.

The enemies of the Empire will march.

But it will fight back.

“For the Empire. Let us go forward together.”

“Long live the Emperor!”

“Long live the Empire!”

At my words, everyone shouted cheers and prepared for battle. I knew they were ready.

The Empire will endure.
