He Became The Most Insane Emperor Of All Time [EN]: Chapter 131

“What is going on! Why aren’t you listening to my command!”

Dominite was taken aback when 1/3 of the souls under his control suddenly rebelled.

-For the Empire!

-For His Majesty the Emperor!

They even turned their weapons against the other souls.

Even though it was only 1/3, it was enough to tie down the rest of the souls.

It was the worst-case scenario for Dominite, whose strength lay in controlling the souls of powerful challengers.

“Well, now that the numbers are about even, shall we get serious!”

Of course, it was the perfect opportunity for me.

I quickly took advantage of the chaos and charged forward. My target was, of course, Dominite.

“Ugh! Stop him! Stop that guy at all costs!”

However, Dominite wasn’t just going to be helpless.

While holding back the rebelling Imperial spirits with a minimal force, he began to deal with me using the remaining souls.

The ones who mainly blocked me up close were the Greenskin souls, and the ones who launched ranged attacks were the Elf souls.

“Blocking me with this won’t work.”

[High-Speed Movement Efficiency Acceleration]

[Neural Acceleration Amplification]

[Blade Whip Deployment]

[Barrage of Shadow Blades Deployment]

Swish! Snap! Thwack!

The Greenskins who rushed at me first were easily vaulted over, their heads sliced off in mid-air.

Silver Rose, transformed into a blade whip, danced like a chef, slicing and dicing the Greenskin souls all around.

Immediately after landing, I was met with arrows fired by the Elf souls, but I dodged most of them with high-speed movement and neural acceleration.

I was able to deflect the ones I couldn’t dodge without much difficulty.

Moreover, the barrage of shadow blades counterattacked the Elf souls, piercing or slashing their necks.

-Death to the enemies of the Empire!

-Long live the Empire!

Besides, I wasn’t alone.

The Imperial spirits under my command fiercely attacked the other souls.

Most of them were at least elite soldiers or knights, and a few were human mages.

-We shall defend the Empire with the magic of Mysterium [a school of magic].

-Burn, heretic!

Even though they were less skilled than the Elves in magic or spiritism, the souls of the human mages of the old Empire were not to be underestimated.

They scattered intense flames or cast protective magic to block the magic of enemy souls.

Even if their numbers were fewer, they were a force to be reckoned with, and Dominite couldn’t stop my breakthrough.

“For someone who acted so high and mighty, you’re pretty weak.”

“Y-You…!”

Thwack!

In the end, I managed to cut off one of his arms when I reached right in front of him.

He paid the price for being so arrogant as to not even carry a weapon.

“Kuaaak, y-you bastard!”

The guy whose arm was cut off couldn’t resist much. I was about to land an additional hit on him.

“Dominite!”

But then, Dominite’s form dissolved into shadows.

Swish!

I slashed at the shadow, but it was no use. Come to think of it, the flames of purification that had once put Retni in danger had disappeared.

Having regained the ability to wield shadows, he used them to swallow Dominite and save him.

“Retni… Kuk! I’m being pushed back… I was careless….”

“I’ll heal you first!”

Dominite distanced himself.

Retni approached him and began to heal him.

However, Retni had also been messed up by Silver, so the healing speed wasn’t very fast.

-You shall not pass us, human.

-We must protect the Master!

“Your struggles are quite fierce.”

However, Dominite desperately resisted, preventing me from approaching them and finishing them off.

The available souls focused on blocking me, putting everything else aside.

If Dominite was healed and regained his strength, the situation could flow in a strange direction.

But I didn’t need to be impatient at all.

Thump-

“Dominite, Retni.”

There was someone appearing with heavy footsteps.

Glustok of Greed.

He suddenly appeared behind the two of them.

“I have arrived.”

“Glustok!”

And his appearance now was very timely.

Although they were blocking me, I was also quickly eliminating the blocking souls, so the situation was still critical.

At that moment, if Glustok, who had the most tenacious vitality, blocked for them, nothing could be more appropriate.

“Please help us!”

Both Retni and Dominite sought help from him.

They had long forgotten that they had ignored him before they came here, or that they had not intended to share the spoils of victory with him.

“Understood.”

And Glustok didn’t seem to care.

Squish!

“Uh…?”

“I’m helping you guys die.”

Because now he was no longer on their side.

Glustok’s hammer smashed Dominite.

Retni was horrified to see him become a bloody mess before her eyes.

“G-Glustok? What is this….”

Chomp!

Glustok opened his mouth wide, not caring whether Retni was surprised or not, and swallowed Dominite in one gulp.

Retni was horrified to see him swallow and absorb him in one go.

“Burp, I’ll eat you too.”

“You traitor!”

Retni scorned him and immediately tried to escape by turning into a shadow.

“Burp!”

“Ugh!”

However, before disappearing into the shadows, Retni was briefly exposed to Glustok’s burp.

She soon turned into a shadow and disappeared, but she had to reappear soon because of the terrible stench.

Thwack!

“Sorry, but this is the end.”

“Uh…!”

But that brief moment was enough for me.

With Dominite dead, the blocking souls had disappeared, so I had nothing to fear. I leisurely chopped off the neck of the briefly exposed Retni with high-speed movement.

Retni’s head flying into the air had an expression as if she couldn’t believe it.

[You have successfully defeated Retni, the Green God of Sorcery.]

[Absorbing his divinity.]

[According to the contract with Gobomain, 30% of the divinity is transferred to Gobomain.]

[Understanding of various sorceries has greatly increased.]

“Hmm, two of them are dead with this.”

Although I didn’t kill one of them.

I muttered and turned my head towards Glustok.

Glustok also patted his stomach as if he was disappointed and looked at me.

“Hey, the fact that you’re here means you’ve accepted my offer, right?”

“Your offer, if I cooperate, you’ll give me a lot of delicious things.”

“Well, something like that.”

I certainly tempted him through Gobomain with such conditions.

But apart from Gobomain, I don’t know if this guy will be useful.

Gobomain knows how to use his head, so I thought he would appropriately assist and check Golak, but where would this guy be useful?

‘He seems to have a lot of appetite, so if I tempt him with food… but the pioneers’ food is already tight?’

He was useful when alienating them, but I can’t feel his usefulness right now.

But if I have a god as an ally, he might be useful someday.

Gobomain is too weak to keep Golak in check, so I needed one more appropriate guy.

“If you cooperate with us, you’ll get plenty to eat. Your status as a god will also rise.”

“Okay. Then I’ll be on your side.”

Is it because he’s a bit simple-minded? He was somehow easily persuaded.

“Then all that’s left is that guy.”

Having finished persuading him, I turned my gaze towards Igrid, who was fighting Lylit.

Clang! Clatter!

Whoosh-

“Kuh…… Cowardly guy…… Coldness…….”

And Igrid was, surprisingly, winning against Lylit.

Lylit poured out explosive attacks as his title ‘Strife’ suggested, but Igrid dealt with it calmly and skillfully.

He defended himself by creating ice walls and shields with his coldness ability, and at the same time, he exhausted him and accumulated damage with freezing coldness and skillful swordsmanship.

“A warrior must know how to use all the abilities given to him. It’s pathetic to talk about cowardice.”

“Kuek…….”

Has the hot fighting spirit cooled down in the coldness?

Lylit, who had been so belligerent, seemed unable to fight any longer even with Igrid’s mockery.

“But I’ll kill you like a warrior.”

Thud-

Rather than mocking the completely helpless Lylit further, Igrid raised his rune sword to end him with the respect of a warrior.

“W-Wait! S-Spare me!”

“……What?”

But then, Lylit uttered words that made Igrid stop.

“I’ll give you anything you want, so please spare me!”

“……You, weren’t you the God of Strife? But you’re begging for your life?”

Igrid looked down at him with eyes full of contempt.

She respected even Greenskin warriors, but Lylit’s attitude was not at all like a warrior.

“T-That’s just because I didn’t have the remaining divinity! If I had something else, I would have given it to you!”

He was making excuses, whether it was true or not.

“So? That doesn’t give us a reason to spare you, does it?”

“Can I eat him?”

I and Glustok, who approached him, said.

“No, this guy is Igrid’s spoils. I can’t allow you to eat him.”

“Eing…….”

Glustok became very disappointed when I didn’t allow it.

“As Shadow said, if you really want to beg for your life, show your usefulness.”

“F-First, I’ll give you my divinity!”

“That’s a given.”

Igrid raised his rune sword again as if he had no regrets.

In fact, he could get his divinity just by killing him, so it wasn’t a negotiation.

“W-Wait! I’ll tell you the secrets of the Green Gods!”

“Even if you say it’s a secret, it doesn’t really appeal to me.”

I sarcastically shot at Lylit.

Then Lylit said as if his butt was burning [desperate].

“L-Listen! You can’t beat Rasgar if you don’t know this!”

“You’re making bold claims. Well, I’ll listen for now. What is that secret?”

Lylit, cornered, swallowed nervously and continued.

“Actually, we are…….”

-Disappointment, Lylit.

At that time, someone’s voice echoed from the sky.

The voice was clearly Rasgar’s voice.

-I cherished you, but I misjudged you. To try to betray him.

“Huh, Heok! Rasgar! Wait, this is…….”

Lylit was extremely frightened when he heard the voice.

-I could forgive you for losing and abandoning your pride and begging for your life. But I cannot forgive you for trying to betray him. Therefore, I will punish you.

“Uaaaa, An-“

Rumble!

At that moment, a crimson lightning struck Lylit.

Lylit, who was struck by the lightning, disappeared, leaving only ashes.

It seemed that I would not be able to hear the secret I was trying to hear from Lylit.

-Congratulations, Challenger. You have won.

[You have won the challenge against the Green God.]

But apart from that, this battle seemed to be a victory.
