Simultaneous Travel: Becoming a Legend in the Heavens.

Chapter 380 Black Emperor

Queens, Sodrak Palace.

George III, wearing a crown, with a resolute face and a small mustache, sat on the throne, looking at Drinker Augustus in front of him, without saying a word for a long time.

After waiting for a long time without getting a reply, Drinker frowned slightly.

"Your Majesty, Amon's matter..."

"do not worry about it."

George III interrupted him, speaking calmly.

"In Backlund, even Amon won't cause much trouble. Just keep moving forward with the plan."

"The construction of the mausoleum has been going on, but... even if we use the 'Law' to speed up the construction, it will still take a long time to complete."

Drinker's expression was filled with worry: "Amon's clone suddenly appeared in Backlund. Could it mean that our plan has been leaked?"

Breaking the contract signed between the royal family and the three major churches, organizing the sale of a large number of people to secretly build a mausoleum, colluding with the evil cults "Witch Sect" and "Aurora Society" to cause large-scale population deaths to cover up the crimes...

Every incident that gets exposed will leave a heavy scandal in history. If it happens, it will not just be a matter of losing the support of the people. The three major churches and the gods behind them will definitely be held accountable.

Furthermore, Intis, Feynaport, and Feysac would certainly launch an invasion under the pretext of "tyranny", "betrayal of oath", and "liberation", and it was not impossible that a war between gods would be triggered.

"Drinka, you're not standing high enough, so you can't see far enough."

George III raised his head and looked through the magnificent palace dome and glazed tiles. In his deep eyes, his ambition was burning like a prairie fire.

"Everything you do leaves a trace."

"It's foolish to expect a huge project to be completely hidden from everyone."

He showed a majestic and solemn smile, and his tone was calm and composed.

"Exposure is not terrible. As long as we choose the right time, even if we reveal the truth completely, no one will stand up and oppose it."

“Now is the right time.”

Drinker's frown suddenly relaxed, revealing a look of sudden realization, "You mean last month..."

George III nodded slightly, his smile becoming more obvious. "That celestial phenomenon means the birth of a new great being, and it means that other great beings that have been dormant have been awakened."

"Since there is one more outer god in the starry sky, there must be more gods to support the barrier. The person who is most likely to become a god at this node is me!"

“Even if the Goddess of Night, the Lord of Storms, and the God of Steam and Machinery find out, the best they can do is acquiesce!”

"As long as there is one more god, the death of tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of people is nothing!"

George III suddenly became excited, and his powerful aura seemed to be tangible, causing Drinker, the Sequence 2 "Balancer", to slightly pause in his breathing.

"As long as I become the 'Black Emperor' and sit on equal footing with the Seven Gods, all my mistakes will be wiped out!"

"Break the contract? Wrong! That is a foresight to resist the end of the world!"

"Trading in people? Wrong! The people are making voluntary contributions to their king!"

"Collaborating with a cult? Wrong! Those fanatics are just fools being used!"

George III stood up from the throne, held his head high, with majesty that looked down on the world.

"As the 'Black Emperor', I will ensure that the contract between the royal family and the three major churches will continue to be implemented and will be even more solid."

"Those cults that are developing secretly will be eliminated one by one. I will certainly not allow the belief in evil gods to run rampant in my country."

"I will also not forget those who volunteered to burn firewood for the king. Their families will be rewarded, a reward they could never get even if they struggled their entire lives."

“Not only that, the Kingdom of Loen will also become the strongest country in the northern continent, and Intis, Feynapotter, and Feysac will bow down one after another and become our vassal.”

"And I will be remembered forever by the world, until the end of time!"

Drinker lowered his head even lower, his tone respectful.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

At this moment, George III's expression suddenly softened, and his aura suddenly disappeared. He sat back in his seat, as if waiting for something.

A few breaths later, a guard came running over with a panicked look on his face.

"Your Majesty, 'Bonois Gustave' of the Church of Steam is here to visit."

Bonois Gustav, the second son of the previous "Black Emperor" Roselle Gustav, is the favored one of the Steam Church!
Bolink's face suddenly changed and he couldn't help but look at George III.

No matter how passionately George III spoke, he was still just a "Prince of Sequence Killing" of Sequence One, which was fundamentally different from the gods.

George III clenched his hands on the armrests, then quickly relaxed them and gave orders expressionlessly.

"Go down, and let him in alone."

He pursed his lips, looked at Bolink and ordered, "Go and ask the Protector to come over."

William I, the Protector of the Nation, ancestor of the Augustus family, and an archangel of the "Hand of Order", a sequence of the "Arbitrator" pathway.

Soon, Bonois, with a look of indifference on his face, came to the throne. As a "favored one by God", he did not salute the king, but just looked at him silently.

George III forced a gentle smile on his face, "Sir, what is it that requires you to come here?"

Bonois clasped his hands together in a pious gesture and spoke in a calm tone.

"I'm here to help."

help?

George III remained calm and said, "Thank you very much, but I don't think there is anything I can do for you."

"No, you do."

Bonois's voice was so calm that there was no ups and downs and no emotion, as if a precise machine made a sound as its gears turned.

"I built the mausoleum for you."

"I will bring new technology, new knowledge, and new machinery. As an overseer, I will help the mausoleum to be built quickly, so that your voice and images can be spread to all citizens and achieve a more perfect ritual effect."

Bonois's indifferent voice echoed in the palace.

"This is the confidence of a 'Comprehensive' angel, a person favored by God."

George III's frown slowly relaxed, the corners of his mouth curled up a little, and endless joy surged in his heart.

……

Above the gray fog, it was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

After "launching a war that swept the world" last time, Mr. "Emperor" once again said some outrageous information - the real name of the gods!

Alger felt like he wanted to do a part-time job to earn some extra money, but he found out that the job content was to directly assign him to steal the company's top secrets.

"Don't worry so much."

Luke smiled and broke the silence, "I will give you shelter so you won't be discovered."

"Hmm... it would be better if the 'outsider' was a death row inmate or something like that. The person who recites the name is indeed in danger. Although I can protect him, there is no point in trying to find him."

He intended to see how the Storm Lord "Leorod" would respond to a "stranger" calling out his true name.

Although Lu Ke also roughly knew what choice this "King of the Sky", "Emperor of the Sea", "Lord of Natural Disasters" and "God of Storms" would make.

“Asylum…” Alger opened his mouth and glanced at the Fool, who remained motionless and did not raise any questions. He felt that he seemed to have miscalculated the sequence of “Emperor”.

Being able to know the existence of true gods and guarantee the protection of the gaze of true gods is something that a demigod cannot do. At the very least, he should be an angel walking on earth, or even a higher being.

No wonder Mr. Emperor has never been particularly respectful to Mr. Fool. He is more relaxed and casual in conversation than he is with Justice. I’m afraid the other party is a secret existence similar to Mr. Fool.

Alger's heart couldn't help but beat wildly. He remembered a famous quote from Emperor Roselle.

"It was the best of times and the worst of times."

After a brief hesitation, Alger licked his lips, swallowed his saliva, and bowed to Luke.

"I will see to it, Mr. Emperor."

"Ah."

Luke nodded indifferently, and this attitude made Alger somewhat disappointed but also somewhat excited.

It seems that this matter is not important and cannot win favor. However, if testing the attitude of the gods is not a big deal, then it can further illustrate how terrifying Mr. "Emperor" is.

Alger straightened his body, and couldn't help but look at the tall Miss Justice, who didn't show much surprise, and felt quite emotional.

How lucky I am to be able to board the ship of a being so close to a god so easily.

Audrey mustered up the courage to speak up, "Mr. Emperor, is there anything I can do for you? I'd like to help out a little."

Luke thought for a few seconds and smiled at her. "Yes, go investigate the hospital in Backlund and visit a lame boy named Will Auceptin."

Will Auceptin, the Speaker of the School of Life, the Mercury of Sequence One of the "Destiny" Pathway, is currently being hunted by Ouroboros, the "Angel of Destiny" under the seat of the "True Creator".

Although Sequence One is not worthy of special attention, the School of Life under his command also contains the "Dice of Probability" which is the unique path to "destiny".

Audrey's face lit up with joy. She nodded seriously and asked:
"What's next?"

"If there is no follow-up, fate will provide a follow-up."

Lu Ke replied calmly, "That's how the charlatans on the "Destiny" path are. You don't need to do anything special, just follow your feelings."

Audrey didn't ask any more questions, but just nodded to show that she understood. She believed Lu Ke had his own arrangements.

Lu Ke added: "Your 'reward' is on the way and should have arrived. Remember to check it after the meeting."

"Well, I see."

After the two men finished speaking, when it was Lu Ke's turn, he thought about it and briefly mentioned it.

"A new era is coming, and a great change is about to happen. I hope everyone in the Tarot Club can find their own position and stand firm."

The obscure words left Alger and Audrey unable to interrupt, and they could only look at the "Fool" at the top.

Klein, who was as shocked as Alger and didn't dare to interrupt, relaxed his body and spoke in a steady voice.

"Have you decided what to do?"

Lu Ke glanced at Mr. Fool with a half-smile, but he didn't dare to reveal it. He could only ask vaguely with a universal sentence, and nodded slightly.

“There is a general direction, but the completion will always be full of variables, so it is not particularly certain.”

"Well, have you thought about the consequences of what you are going to do?"

"It is."

Unable to come up with any more universal sentences, and also running out of spirituality, Klein coughed lightly and knocked on the table.

"This Tarot Club ends here."

"According to your wishes."

Audrey and Alger stood up and saluted. Luke waved his hand as he had done several times before, and the light of the two crimson stars and the dark star disappeared.

Klein, who was sitting at the top, rubbed his forehead which was beginning to ache, sighed, and disappeared from his seat.

The ancient and majestic palace returned to silence once again. The gray fog spread layer by layer, dispersing little by little, licking the long bronze table and swallowing up the chairs.

Time seemed to have forgotten this place, leaving only the rolling gray fog.

At the top of the mottled long table, the chair belonging to the "Fool" lit up, and the symbols composed of "eye without pupil" and "twisted lines" slowly changed, with layers of "doors" and fingers shaped like clock hands appearing.

Part of the diffuse gray fog slowly shrank, ripples appeared above the seat, and a vague outline was looming.

……

Thick darkness enveloped the ruined palace.

The imaginative sound rang out from the huge stone chair, sometimes soothing, sometimes rapid, sometimes as gentle as a stream, and sometimes as violent as a rushing river.

In the sweaty fight, the city gates were breached again and again by huge battering rams, and the battle line continued to collapse.

As the enemy advanced deeper into the enemy's territory, they remained vigilant. Faced with the strong blockade of the encirclement, they retreated without hesitation to accumulate strength, and then charged again. The speed was so fast that the encirclement that had not yet been completely closed was broken up again, and the cycle continued over and over again.

The defense of the Kingdom of Night is flawless, but the invasion of the alien gods is equally unimaginable.

The horrific fight finally came to an end after a long battle. When the city was finally breached, EsGod took advantage of the situation without hesitation and sent a large number of elite troops to occupy all parts of the Kingdom of Night.

After the relaxation, a soft and soothing female voice sounded in the darkness.

"How did you become..."

"The physical transformation is not difficult. As for the structure, I adopted a Fulgrim dog."

Lu Ke leaned lazily back on the huge stone chair, put his arm around the figure sitting on him, and enjoyed the tenderness afterwards.

A soft female voice sounded with some helplessness, "Don't make that kind of change."

"I just think dogs and dogs are a better match...Okay, got it, I won't do it next time."

Feeling the dangerous darkness coming like a tide, Lu Ke let out a light click and loosened his hand.

Feeling that the other party was retreating, the "Goddess of Night" did not press forward any further and remained silent, resting in her current posture.

"You can now directly enter and exit the 'Secret Realm'?"

Luke closed his eyes and said, "After gaining divinity, there is basically no place you can't go. Not only this temporary 'Secret Realm', but also the real 'Kingdom of Night' and your 'Secret Town'."

For a Sequence Four with the symbol of "invasion", it is easy for him to enter and exit the realms created by higher sequences. The "kingdom of God" of the gods is a little more difficult, but with the help of the original body, he can go all the way smoothly.

It’s just that the body of Sequence 4 is still too fragile and cannot last long.

Lu Ke half-lay down and pushed, "One copy of 'Fraudulent Mentor' in exchange for one copy of 'Heart of the Mist Wolf' in your hand, okay?"

The Goddess of Night was silent for a moment. "'Fraudulent Mentor' and 'Ancient Scholar' are equivalent. You only want one of the two main materials of 'Ancient Scholar'."

"In fact, if you want 'ancient scholars', you can just tell me. Antigonus has several copies. This little help can't be called a helping hand."

"No thanks, I just want to maintain a pure partnership with you."

Lu Ke rolled his eyes. The "Goddess of Night" was meticulous and deep-minded. On the surface, the two of them seemed harmonious and close, but in reality, it was hard to say, as each of them was on guard.

With a slight sigh, a misty, flocculent heart appeared in his hand.

Lu Ke put the materials away, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

He will skip the ancient scholars and be promoted directly to "sage", becoming a solid vessel for God's descent and exerting the power of a true god!
