Chapter 2169 The True God and the Role Player

Amida Berencaster glanced at the chosen Empress and chuckled, "Speaking of which, you're now the Privy Council's Seal Keeper, aren't you? In over two hundred years, has the Empire ever had such a young Privy Council Seal Keeper?"

“Two hundred years ago, there were still many. People felt that a huge burden was on their shoulders, but they always had to forge ahead for the empire.” Brunhilde said solemnly.

"Your Palace Attendant, General Hugh Lai, has also entered the Grand Marshal's Mansion and has become the Chief Military Law Officer, right?" Princess Rainbow Rose asked again.

"Old Man Hughley is first and foremost an Imperial soldier, and only secondly a Palace Attendant. He was a good friend of my late father, and it was only out of consideration for me that he reluctantly formed this nominal vassal relationship with the Suliuka royal family. If it weren't for that, he could have become an Imperial Marshal long ago. You know, he and Marshal Farrell were classmates and friends, and he even outperformed the latter in academics at the Royal Fleet Academy," Brunhilde argued confidently.

"Since you've mentioned Marshal Farrell, he was born a commoner but married a lady from a prestigious family."

“Yes, his wife is indeed the daughter of Count Lamut, Gilly’s cousin, but isn’t this a perfect match? Isn’t this the normal state of the empire?” Brunhilde thought it made perfect sense.

"After the war reached a stalemate, Chancellor Valpolis promoted three new ministers to lead the Space City Development Department, the Trade Department, and the Agricultural Planning Department, respectively. All of them were senior bureaucrats from commoner backgrounds."

"They were top students at Shire Memorial University, and they did receive scholarships from the royal family of Suliuka. But every emperor, and even every feudal lord with a bit of history, received scholarships."

"The new deputy chief of police, I think his name is Major General Kras."

"Yes, he did serve as an old subordinate of Father Hughley, but he hasn't taken up his post in the Heavenly Domain yet."

"But they have already started organizing police forces in border star sectors like the Far Frontier and Cloud Tower."

"He is a dedicated man! His Majesty praised Major General Kras before his death, saying that his future potential was at least to become the Imperial Military Police Chief. However, as the Privy Council Chief, he still wanted to consider the future of the Empire."

"Is this already 'in front of you'?" Fei Fei sneered.

"Lieutenant General Metig from the New World, after receiving the Ring of Miracles, is he going to take up his post at Unity Fortress?"

"Wars always end. Once everything settles down, no one will be more suitable than him to coordinate the future development of the New World. You must understand that the New World is not just about military or economic considerations, but also about diplomatic ones!" Brunhilde spoke with an air of complete control over the affairs of the world.

"Also, Brigadier General Ariane Ahna, who is in charge of the subsequent exploration of the Ring of Miracles, is also one of your old subordinates, isn't he?"

"She is first and foremost an excellent astrologer and Enlightened One expert, then an Imperial officer, and finally one of my old subordinates. The Ring of Miracles is not just a star system, but the greatest legacy of the Enlightened Ones, so naturally it needs the best experts in each field to oversee its exploration." Brunhilde's words still sounded quite reasonable.

Now that things had come to this point, Feifei had to show some interest, so she said, "Speaking of which, Mr. Xunfeng, the former chief investigator and judge, who was once the Snake Head, has become the governor of a star region, right? Such an important personnel appointment, yet it's all so uneventful!"

Brunhilde remained unfazed: "He has contributed a great deal to the Empire, and now he is finally enjoying the honor he deserves and is capable of taking on more important work. However, undercover work is not something that can be discussed with outsiders, so we have to handle it discreetly. Besides, it is wartime, so everything should be kept simple."

“What a wonderful ‘no ulterior motives’!” Fei Fei’s gaze was as if she were appraising a visual spectacle: “Oh my, compared to you, King Xuan was all sincerity. At least he was unwaveringly loyal during his lifetime.”

Yani burst out laughing.

Brunhilde's knowledge of Earth's history was not yet profound enough, so he had to solemnly explain again: "I have already said that it is no longer my ancestor, and of course it is not His Majesty the Emperor. It is just a heretic who looks like His Majesty."

"But he looks so much like your loving grandfather, so you couldn't bring yourself to do it?" Yani said.

"No, it is precisely because he is so much like my loving grandfather that we must take action! This is all for the future of the Galactic Empire! The winds of a new era have already blown, and the Empire must keep up with such a great era. Of course, it must shed its historical baggage and move forward lightly."

Brunhilde looked as if she were making a vow to the spirit of the universe, her face radiant with the light and determination of a seeker, before she reached out and wiped away the tears that had just welled up in the corners of her eyes.

“Now I understand. A qualified Dragon King must not only know how to hide his head and show his tail, but also have a supple body.” Fifi’s gaze swept over Brunhilde’s waist. Although she was wrapped in the glorious armor of the Dawn Dragon, Fifi seemed to have seen through all appearances and seen the essence of her body, that slender, full, yet firm and beautiful waist.

"So, this is how the so-called Dragon King seduces men." She raised the corners of her eyes, her tone full of undisguised personal attacks.

"As if you don't have a slender, graceful waist yourself." Brunhilde really wanted to say that, but considering that the guy opposite her had become visibly unstable after Yu Lian disappeared, she felt it wasn't worth arguing with him, so she simply advised:

“Fina, you are also the Dragon King of the Empire! According to the generational system, you should be my maternal great-grandmother, twenty-five generations removed.”

In conclusion, as mentioned before, the Dawn Royal Family is a family with a lot of internal conflicts, with countless examples of marriages ending in divorce. Intermarriage between the eight royal families is also frequent.

Feifei scoffed, "My education and the culture I grew up in place place more emphasis on cultural identity and paternal lineage. So I am an Earthling. Besides, I am a woman, so the children I bear for him are naturally Earthlings too."

"...Why humble yourself? You are betraying his ideals," Brunhilde accused.

Feifei pretended not to hear. She even touched her belly, and her smile became even sweeter, faintly carrying a touch of touching maternal instinct.

Amida and Brunhilde were slightly taken aback, then showed expressions of shock, their eyes filled with envy, jealousy and hatred.

Shirley, who was hiding in the flower bushes and pretending to be a cat iris while "casting a spell," witnessed this scene. Perhaps because everything was going smoothly, she even had the leeway to let out a silent sneer.

To be fair, everyone present had beaten her, but Shirley somehow managed to find a special sense of superiority that made her feel quite pleased.

"We were just joking around," Fei Fei said again.

Both of them breathed a sigh of relief. Although it wasn't very obvious, there was indeed such a reaction, and Fei Fei immediately became furious, her face instantly turning chillingly cold and displaying an almost ferocious sneer:

"Very good, a casual test revealed the answer. Is your vagina feeling empty, lonely, and cold? Is it lacking in vitality?"

Shirley, hiding in the grass, was so badly huddled that the flowers and grass on her face almost fell off. Even as the Overlord of the Insectoid Swarm, she felt that such vulgar language was a bit excessive.

“I will write this down. In fact, I already have,” Yani said loudly.

"And then? Send it to Fish, and he'll only become more infatuated with me." Fei Fei puffed out her chest proudly, though not very generous, but actually quite well-shaped, looking as if she was born to stand on high ground.

Shirley snorted again. She seemed to be making sure everyone could hear her, but before the others could react, she hid her head completely behind the flower bushes.

These three fierce ladies, whose combined strength was at least twenty rings, did not cause trouble for the Dominator. They had already sensed the spatial fluctuations that had occurred on the scene and had naturally readjusted their positions.

"Twenty-five minutes. Heh... finally done!" Fei Fei stretched, exhaling a sigh of relief, and instantly regained her composed and dignified demeanor, her smile now radiating a healing compassion and admiration. In an instant, the sharp and sarcastic anger from before had vanished like clouds.

“He’s back.” Yani glanced at the open Book of the Sun God in her hand, a gleam of joy in her eyes. “Wouldn’t it be best if the spatial passage were cut off now?” Feifei, however, vaguely realized that she still needed to discuss a subtle little issue.

"Are you planning to lock me and the emperor up over there? I've only been gone for a short while, and you're already making no attempt to hide your malice?" Little Gray's voice suddenly rang out in the courtyard of Dragon Palace, and she appeared silently as well.

Amida and Brunhilde scrutinized the suddenly appearing robot lady, still expressing their astonishment and incomprehension at this way of time travel.

"Due to some predictable unforeseen circumstances, his dimension has shifted. Because of the XXX effect of spiritual aggregation, it has appeared in the space region with the highest spiritual energy density in this galaxy," Little Grey explained.

Although XXX was silenced, everyone immediately understood and turned to look at the edge of the star field outside the porthole. Of course, they couldn't see what was happening there with the naked eye, but they could always catch glimpses of intense flashes.

That was, of course, a high-energy barrage of artillery fire and the ripples of intertwined force fields.

"You're not going to mention any prohibited items this time?" Fei Fei asked curiously.

"Did you hear what was prohibited?"

"what?"

Little Grey resumed its earnest, healing smile, as if its earlier sneer had been nothing but an illusion. "What they mean is that this is a balance of choices on the battlefield. We should let nature take its course."

“Giri’s charge has begun.” Brunhilde gazed at the distant starry sky.

"Their success rate is actually only 43%, but with an unexpected strong reinforcement, it could increase by another twenty points." Xiao Hui looked at you as if you were very lucky.

Brunhilde always felt that the number was made up, but at this point, it was enough to grasp the general idea.

"Do you mean two astronomical units as a shift?" Fifi laughed. "Grandma Gray, you call that a success?"

She pronounced "grandmother" very heavily.

"Since it's a boss battle, it's only natural that there are many sub-battlefields." Little Gray seemed to be speaking with conviction, but after saying this, he disappeared again.

The ladies wanted to express their disdain for this enlightened civilization-guiding AI, but they quickly formed a battle formation, staring intently at the gradually clearing outline in the garden square.

“Shameless sneak attack!” They heard Emperor Elithel’s deep voice, filled with suppressed curses.

Immediately afterward, a hazy mist appeared in the room, its shimmering surface revealing a strange, menacing shadowy figure. Then, Emperor Elithel's translucent silhouette emerged from the mist and solidified. The ethereal haze had vanished without a trace, its presence rapidly transforming from the void into reality, as if returning from a higher dimension.

Everyone clearly saw a younger, stronger, and more energetic emperor, and they also clearly felt a more powerful and surging spiritual pressure.

He seemed even more powerful than when he was in his spirit form.

However, the girls also clearly felt that the faint "divinity" they had previously possessed had vanished.

At least in terms of his standing, Emperor Elisher has been demoted.

The girls quickly exchanged glances, each seeing a similar understanding in the other's eyes. Of course, out of basic caution, they needed to continue observing.

So, Feifei gave Yani a look.

The latter waved his hand, and an alchemical golem returned from the spatial bag to its physical form. It retracted its four arms in front of its body, lay down on the ground, and then, with a soothing creaking sound, twisted into the shape of a large toy truck, half a meter tall and one meter long.

Brunhilde was exasperated: "What's the point of this?"

“He will like it,” Princess Rainbow Rose said.

Brunhilde thought about it and realized that he really did like it, which made him even angrier.

At this moment, the toy truck, which appeared harmless and sure to be loved by all the teenagers, roared and charged toward the newly formed emperor with a piercing screech.

In a sprint of less than ten meters, it actually broke through the imposing and majestic appearance of the armored group galloping across the battlefield.

With a loud "boom," most of the powerful explosive force was absorbed into the dimensional channel by the closing spatial rift, and thus almost all of it was applied to the emperor who had just returned to reality.

The girls immediately smelled an almost burnt odor.

They exchanged another glance, and their confidence grew even stronger.

The emperor's voice rang out from behind the lingering dust, trembling almost imperceptibly with pain: "Such a greeting is extremely impolite. After all, this is my home!"

He seemed to have regained the composure and calmness befitting a "true god." If the girls hadn't heard the curse they heard when they left the passage, they might have actually thought that everything was still under His Majesty the Emperor's control.

The young emperor finally emerged from the smoke and dust. His mangled body was instantly healed, and the charred skin was peeled off like eggshell fragments, scattering across the ground.

His psychic powers seemed inexhaustible, and he possessed the most profound laws of life, capable of restoring all damage at any time.

However, he was indeed injured.

The emperor looked around, and spiritual energy flowed from his cells, materializing into a scarlet crystal armor covering his entire body.

Those present were all experts, and naturally knew that this was the essence and condensation of a highly advanced "Spirit Ruins Forging Furnace." Brunhilde even felt that he would need five or six years of arduous training to master it to this extent.

However, he was indeed already wearing armor.

“You’re in a hurry,” Fei Fei commented with a confident tone.

She opened her hands, and the invisible "ink sword" returned to her grasp.
