I Became the Greatest Crazy Emperor – Episode 201

I Became the Greatest Crazy Emperor 201

[The Great Cataclysm has begun.]

Before long, the predicted Great Cataclysm began.

As soon as the message announcing it appeared, disasters began to occur throughout the Empire.

[A magical storm has occurred in the Magic Zone of the Central Territory. Along with the magical storm, a city-state from another world has appeared.]

[The Land of the Dead has appeared in the Eastern Territory, and the undead are rampant.]

[Dragonkin (humanoids with dragon-like features) and dragons have appeared in the Western Territory! Numerous beastmen have emerged.]

[The dormant volcanoes in the Northern Territory have erupted simultaneously, and demonkin have appeared.]

[Unidentified aerial islands are being sighted throughout the Southern Territory!]

Disasters were being reported from all over through the throne.

Along with that, unidentified forces were appearing.

It goes without saying that tremendous damage was accumulating.

“R, run away!”

“Aaaagh! Save me!”

Imperial citizens were fleeing from the attacks of monsters or hostile forces that suddenly appeared with the disasters.

Imperial citizens were seen running away from the approaching horde of undead zombies.

Woo-oo-oo- Woo…

“I, it’s over. They’re here too…”

Desperate to escape, they were frustrated to see the undead appearing on their escape route as well.

“Perish.”

[‘God’s Dice – Divine Punishment’ is activated.]

Kwarumble! Bang, bang, bang, bang!

I unleashed a barrage of lightning imbued with divine power upon the undead.

White lightning struck repeatedly in all directions, annihilating the surrounding undead.

“W, what was that just now?”

“That person over there… that person definitely struck the lightning.”

They, who had been waiting to die, were dumbfounded when I suddenly appeared and annihilated the undead.

I calmly walked towards them and said.

“There’s no time. Evacuate quickly. Go north. That route is relatively safe.”

“W, who are you?”

Someone asked for my identity. I answered him quietly.

“I am your Emperor.”

[Returning to the Throne of Prosperity.]

Leaving only those words behind, I returned to the Imperial Palace.

“Your Majesty, you have returned.”

“Yes. The Eastern Territory has been roughly cleared. Is the Central Territory the only one left?”

As soon as I returned, Prime Minister Bright greeted me with a worried expression.

“Your Majesty, please take a break now. You are overworking yourself too much.”

“Hmm…”

[Warning, you are using God’s Dice continuously.]

[Excessive use of divinity may result in negative feedback.]

At the Prime Minister’s words, I rubbed my eyelids. As he said, I was overworking myself.

This was because I was personally dealing with the disasters occurring simultaneously in various parts of the Empire.

I was either opening long-range teleportation portals to send troops, or teleporting directly to rescue refugees, or using God’s Dice to annihilate enemies.

Thanks to the powerful power of God’s Dice, the initial chaos had subsided to some extent.

But it was impossible to stop everything.

“I should listen to you. Relying on the power of the dice ends here.”

If I used it any more, I would use up all my divinity and die.

Now it was time to overcome it purely with the Empire’s capabilities.

“Stella, Igrid. You each go to the Eastern and Northern Territories. Protect those two places in my stead.”

“Understood.”

“I will do so.”

The Empire’s administrative districts are largely divided into five areas: the Central Territory and the four territories of East, West, North, and South.

It is impossible for me to cover all of them. Fortunately, the Northern Territory is already being ruled as a Grand Duchy by Igrid’s father, Grand Duke Hector. He will probably be dealing with it to some extent on his own.

If Stella is sent to the Eastern Territory, she can buy time even if she can’t solve the problem.

“Is there still no response from the aerial islands that appeared in the Southern Territory?”

“Aircraft are occasionally sighted, but there have been no other incidents yet.”

“Then we should postpone the priority of those places.”

The Southern Territory was not urgent right now.

The problem was the Western Territory.

“Support requests are coming from the knights of the Western Territory. Dragonkin and beastmen who appeared with the portals are attacking!”

“Dispatch the Central Army, excluding the Legions.”

“But Your Majesty, if you do that, this Central Territory will be defenseless!”

The Captain of the Guard tried to dissuade me, but I shook my head.

“I am here. Then I can solve it somehow.”

Moreover, the Central Territory did not have any immediate military demand. It was just that the number of refugees had exploded as residents rescued from other places were evacuated.

Rather, it was necessary to use them to quickly create a new army.

“There won’t be time to train knights or make expensive magic-triggered guns. As it is, we have to make gunpowder guns.”

There was no longer any time or reason not to develop gunpowder weapons, which had been intentionally avoided.

The only way to create an army that can fight urgently is with gunpowder weapons.

There was no longer any reason to postpone it for fear that the enemy might copy it. I had already smashed the heads of those who would have done so before the Great Cataclysm.

The problem was that without using God’s Dice, it would take some time to create gunpowder and guns.

Even mass production would require building an industrial base, which would also take time.

It goes without saying that Imperial citizens would die in the meantime.

“Damn it, isn’t there any way?”

All we have to do now is hold out. Time is surprisingly on our side.

If the Empire can hold out without collapsing, we can somehow train a new army and fight the enemies that appeared due to the Great Cataclysm.

But now, it was becoming increasingly difficult.

“Your Majesty, urgent news.”

“What is it?”

Then, Hendrick hurriedly approached and reported the intelligence he had obtained.

“The cities that appeared in the Magic Zone are contacting us.”

“They are first?”

I already knew through the system message that unidentified cities had appeared in the Magic Zone along with the magic storm.

But I hadn’t deliberately contacted them yet.

This was because I didn’t have the capacity to pay attention to that place when the entire Empire was going wild right now.

But if they contacted me first, I had no choice but to answer.

“What is their purpose?”

“They say they want to form an alliance with us.”

“An alliance? Before we’ve even met?”

They’re already talking about an alliance when we haven’t even met for the first time?

That usually doesn’t happen. Shouldn’t we know what each other is before we ally or become hostile?

“Didn’t they say why they’re proposing an alliance already?”

“That is…”

Hendrick continued with a troubled expression.

“They said they want to form an alliance with a player who possesses God’s Dice.”

It seemed like there was enough reason to meet them.

* * *

“It is an honor to meet you, Your Majesty. I am James, the plenipotentiary ambassador of the Human Federation.”

Some time later, I came face to face with the foreign ambassador who had appeared on the Empire’s land.

“It’s a pleasure to meet you. You’ve come with quite an impressive army.”

“I am overwhelmed that our soldiers have impressed you.”

Of course, I couldn’t help but be impressed. The soldiers this guy brought were ‘line infantry’ [soldiers arranged in a line formation for firing volleys].

Line infantry armed with gunpowder-triggered guns, not magic-triggered guns.

They didn’t have the swords of knights or magic, but their technology was advanced.

Roughly around the 18th century. So, I felt more wary than glad to meet a fellow human being.

These bastards, could it be that the alliance is just an excuse to ‘imperialise’ the Empire [establish imperial control]?

It was because soldiers of that level had been creating imperial colonies on Earth.

Although I was there, the Empire was ‘still’ less technologically advanced than them, so I couldn’t help but be wary.

If they really intended to do so, I had to make a life-or-death decision right now.

“Let me ask you directly. How do you know about God’s Dice?”

With such suspicion, I immediately moved on to the main point and asked.

Then Ambassador James smiled like a gentleman and said.

“That is because that is why we were called here.”

“You were called?”

“Yes, Your Majesty’s existence called us here.”

“I called you? I never did that?”

I had never called out these imperialist-smelling guys.

But the ambassador smiled again this time and said.

“Because Your Majesty is the ‘opposing player’ of the player who caused the Great Cataclysm.”

“Opposing player… I certainly read a message that seemed like that.”

When I got God’s Dice, I was put in opposition mode with the Creator God.

Did that mean that I and that Creator God were players playing a game with this world at stake?

At least, according to the context of what this guy just said, it seemed like that.

“That’s correct. The opposing player… it seems he’s called the Creator God here. He caused the Great Cataclysm with God’s Dice.”

“He did.”

“The Great Cataclysm is the ability to twist the world view. It summons beings that did not exist in this world or that disappeared a long time ago.”

“Like you guys?”

“Yes, and like the forces that must have been called to other places as well.”

“But you’re trying to form an alliance with me?”

“Yes, the opposing player must be a shameless bastard, as he only called those who are hostile to Your Majesty. So the balance was forcibly adjusted.”

“So you’re the ones who came…”

I felt like the puzzle was finally coming together.

Should I call it a blessing in disguise? At least these guys were really allies.

“Interesting. But… my enemies are very numerous, and you don’t seem to be that many.”

“Yes, unfortunately, it seems that this world’s assessment of Your Majesty’s potential was not higher than the opponent’s.”

“So even if the balance is adjusted, it’s still disadvantageous to me.”

“You understand quickly.”

Well, I was a modern person who was familiar with games, so I couldn’t help but understand quickly.

“Then I have to win with you guys.”

“That’s right. But unfortunately, we are also living beings. Although we were called as Your Majesty’s allies, we cannot provide unconditional service.”

“I don’t expect that. Okay, let’s trade what we need from each other.”

What I need from them is the production capacity that can be introduced right now.

I can already make it with God’s Dice, but with that, I can develop technology, but I can never mass-produce it.

Then I have to entrust the production to these guys who already have the infrastructure right now.

At the same time, the overall development of the Empire must be boosted using them.

Conversely, I have to provide them with food and labor.

“That’s right. Therefore, we must win this game, Your Majesty.”

“Victory… Then can I ask you one thing?”

“Please speak.”

“What is the exact condition for that victory?”

I had to make that clear first. Then the ambassador smiled evilly, which he hadn’t shown before.

“It is a complete victory as it is. The annihilation or subjugation of other players. In other words, the complete victory of mankind and the Empire.”

The first impression I had that he was an imperialist was not wrong at all.
