He Became The Most Insane Emperor Of All Time [EN]: Chapter 290

Became the Greatest Crazy Emperor 290

“Kyle seems to be doing well.”

The demons, who had been resisting quite fiercely, suddenly began to surrender.

Using the surrendered demon legion commanders proved effective, and I was glad I entrusted the task to Kyle.

I don’t know how Kyle persuaded them, but the legion commanders seemed to think that it was better to gain merit quickly now that things had turned out this way, and they actively participated.

“The advance is going very smoothly. The local demons are also being cooperative.”

“Their way of thinking and culture are quite different from ours, but try to avoid causing problems as much as possible.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

The end was slowly approaching. Conquering the Demon Realm was now only a matter of time.

We will soon capture their capital. However, one thing was unsettling.

“No trace of the Creator God has been found at all?”

“Yes, according to the intelligence agents, the capital has been completely emptied except for the Demon King’s castle.”

“What’s the intention…….”

The end is slowly approaching. If we drive out the demons, the Creator God will have no remaining leverage.

Yet he still doesn’t show himself…….

Whatever it is, we have no choice but to do what we have to do.

“Commander of the Imperial Guard, let’s end this. Advance to the Demon King’s castle.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

* * *

Koo-oong!

The demons had been surrendering one after another in vain, but the Demon King’s castle was an exception, with fierce resistance continuing.

“The God of Creation and Destruction will punish you!”

“Suicide bombers! Shoot them down before they get close!”

The bombardment struck the Demon King’s castle in succession, but the castle was magically reinforced and resisted the bombardment for a long time.

Thanks to this, infantry had to be deployed to subdue the interior room by room, and dangerous indoor battles took place.

Considering that the capital where the Demon King’s castle was located did not experience street fighting because the defense forces surrendered, it was a crisis that made the soldiers feel breathless at the very end.

“Fall back.”

“…Everyone, fall back!”

That’s why I stepped in. There was no need to increase casualties at the end.

Shu-kaak! Seokeok!

“Keuheok…….”

Kwaang!

I instantly slashed the suicide bombers, who were driven by fanaticism for the Creator God, with Silver Rose [MC’s signature sword]. Subdued, they could not take another step and exploded on the spot.

“Your Majesty!”

“I’m fine. Don’t worry about me.”

“Yes, Your Majesty! His Majesty himself has stepped forward! Don’t just stand there, fight again!”

I told him not to worry, but the Imperial Army’s morale officer showed no less fanaticism than the suicide bomber I had just cut down, and encouraged the soldiers.

“Long live the Empire!”

“It’s almost over! Everyone, just a little more strength!”

“We can go home!”

The soldiers’ reaction was also fanatical. I could see their loyalty to me, but at the same time, I could also see their anticipation that the war was over.

‘Of course, the biggest obstacle, the Creator God, still remains.’

In fact, even if I told those innocent people, they wouldn’t understand. In fact, even I don’t know what the Creator God has prepared.

But soon I would know.

“We have completely subdued the inside of the audience chamber.”

“Was there anything in the audience chamber?”

“That is… no one was there. However, there was a throne…….”

“Of course there would be a throne, wouldn’t there?”

“Yes, but it wasn’t an ordinary throne.”

“Not an ordinary throne……?”

After receiving the report from the Commander of the Imperial Guard, I thought that perhaps the throne was deliberately left behind by the Creator God.

“I’ll have to take a look.”

“Your Majesty, it may be dangerous. At least until the mages’ investigation is over…….”

“No, it’s okay, don’t worry about me.”

I left the Commander of the Imperial Guard’s worries behind and opened the door to the audience chamber. Then I could feel the magical power filling the audience chamber.

That magic power was the Creator God’s. I could remember what I felt when I released his seal on the battlefield of the end.

A throne from which such magic power overflowed was there as if waiting for me.

The magic power was so dangerous that ordinary people could not even dare to approach it. Normally, you wouldn’t put such a thing in the audience chamber.

‘This was made for me.’

I could sense it. The Creator God was demanding it. He was telling me to sit on that throne.

“Your Majesty, it’s dangerous.”

The Commander of the Imperial Guard said as I approached the throne. But I glanced back at him and smiled wryly, saying only.

“Commander of the Imperial Guard, I will give you what may be my last order as Emperor. If I do not return, preserve your strength and prepare for the future.”

“Yo, Your Majesty. What are you……!”

The Commander of the Imperial Guard, who was trying to stop me, stopped when he saw my infinitely serious eyes. The Commander of the Imperial Guard knew that he could not stop me and lowered his head in disappointment.

“Your Majesty… our efforts are insufficient, and we could not relieve Your Majesty’s burden.”

“No. I was able to come this far because of you.”

It wasn’t a joke, it was an honest sentiment. Honestly, all I did was use some petty tricks and strategies while wielding a sword myself.

The Empire could not have come this far with that alone. It was possible because of the army that fought together, as well as the vassals and subjects who took care of my affairs.

“Compared to that, I haven’t given them much back. I was a bad emperor.”

“No, Your Majesty. That is not true. Your Majesty has truly sacrificed everything and sacrificed again. So don’t sacrifice even the last thing.”

“Haha… you’re talking as if I’m going to die.”

I threw out a short joke, but the Commander of the Imperial Guard’s expression did not ease.

That’s because only a fool would believe that a person who sits on a throne that emits such an ominous energy and faces an evil god whose intentions are unknown could return alive.

“I’m counting on you to take care of things.”

“…Please take care of yourself, Your Majesty.”

I knew that too, so I didn’t say any more. The Commander of the Imperial Guard also turned away from me and left the audience chamber with heavy steps.

Now, I was left alone in the audience chamber, looking at the black throne.

Pa-ji-ji-jik-

The black throne emitted energy even more intensely when I was left alone. As if urging me.

“I’m going anyway, Creator God.”

I moved my steps toward the throne.

[The final game begins.]

And sitting on the black throne, I stepped onto the final stage created by the Creator God.

* * *

“Commander of the Imperial Guard, what about His Majesty, and why are only you……?”

“Your Highness… His Majesty the Emperor… gave me his last order.”

Kyle listened to the words of the Commander of the Imperial Guard, who had closed the Demon King’s castle and returned alone, and sensed that the inevitable had arrived.

“There’s no need to blame yourself… there’s nothing we can do to stand against the Creator God. We just have to do what we can do.”

“Your Highness…….”

Kyle comforted the Commander of the Imperial Guard and racked his brains.

I don’t know whether my father will win or lose. Of course, I believed he would win. If he loses, no matter what preparations we make, it will only be a matter of buying time.

‘Rather, the problem we need to think about is what happens after we win.’

I don’t even know how he will win. Winning decisively is the best, but even if he wins in a mutually destructive way, my father may suffer serious aftereffects.

Kyle was worried about ruling the Empire after winning, no matter which way he won.

‘While Father is alive, there’s nothing to worry about. But if Father is absent, the Empire itself will be in crisis.’

I used to be optimistic that it would be okay until later generations, but I don’t know about that either.

Right now, his sons, even his older brother, the Crown Prince, cannot match his father’s authority.

Still, I don’t know if it will crumble in just one generation. I couldn’t say that there was no possibility of internal strife in their grandchildren’s generation.

‘My brother isn’t incompetent, but… after all, ordinary means can’t prevent the chaos that will come in the future.’

Internal enemies who will eat away at the Empire from within, and external enemies that the Creator God has spread throughout the universe.

In the future, there was no emperor who would have the authority to suppress them.

Then there had to be an immortal symbol to borrow that authority.

Kyle’s job was to create that symbol.

“Commander of the Imperial Guard… you need to help me. It’s a matter of the Empire’s future.”

“Your Highness? What’s going on?”

Kyle told him about the work he was planning. The Commander of the Imperial Guard’s face quickly hardened as he listened to his plan.

“That… that can’t be done. His Majesty would never want such a thing…….”

“Commander of the Imperial Guard… there are those in the world who have to bear burdens even if they don’t want to. The Emperor and the Imperial Family are the same. And even if I don’t have His Majesty’s consent… I’m confident that I can get the consent of my mothers and brothers.”

“But…….”

The Commander of the Imperial Guard showed reluctance to Kyle’s plan, but Kyle’s attitude was firm.

“Think about it, Commander of the Imperial Guard. It will be a harsh thing for our bloodline, but… in a way, isn’t it a way to make Father immortal?”

“…….”

“Of course… Father wouldn’t want this, but I want to volunteer to do the most disloyal thing for the Empire. Even if Father doesn’t forgive me.”

“Your Highness…….”

Kyle revealed his determination. At least that determination was sincere. In the plan he spoke of, there was no private gain that only Kyle himself would take, and rather, it would only bring him the worst disgrace.

The Commander of the Imperial Guard knew that, so he finally made up his mind.

“…Okay. I will help you with what I can. However, if His Majesty returns safely, please reconsider your thoughts at least once.”

“I understand. How can I only force my thoughts?”

He set a condition, but he was able to get the cooperation of the Commander of the Imperial Guard. If he cooperates, it will be of great help in drawing up the future plans of the Empire.

“Of course, the Commander of the Imperial Guard alone is not enough…….”

There were many people who needed to be asked for help. The Queen of the Abyss, the Dwarves, the Demons, and the Undead. Or maybe even borrow the hand of the Elves.

“Fortunately, it seems that it won’t be difficult to get to them…….”

The problem was that persuading his mother and brothers, which he had assured the Commander of the Imperial Guard, might not be as easy as he thought.

What he said to the Commander of the Imperial Guard was actually half bluff.

“As the Commander of the Imperial Guard said, if Father returns safely, it might be even more difficult to persuade them…….”

That was the characteristic of the work he was planning. If Father is strong, even if he knows that it is not eternal, it is difficult for his family to make a decision like the one he planned without his consent.

But on the other hand, if Father wins, but if he is in critical condition or dies…….

“…I’m not hoping for such a situation, but I feel bad because it’s like I’m hoping for it.”

Kyle shook his head as if he had recalled something dirty when his thoughts reached that point.

No matter how much he cared about the Empire, he still wanted his father to be safe.

“Please come back alive, Father.”

He sincerely prayed for his safe return.
