Huh? Are they all real?...

Even if such a person ultimately fails to achieve anything, he is still worthy of our respect, let alone Augustus!

The world we live in today, though not perfect, is still thriving and prosperous, which is proof of his achievements.

Augustus nodded slightly, dismounted, and accepted the gift offered by the other party.

Then he turned and handed it over to Quintus.

"Please make good use of them in the future."

Quintus didn't say anything, but silently accepted everything.

He knew that Augustus had only returned to deal with Rome, a country that should have been dealt with long ago.

He won't stay.

After patting the silent Quintus on the shoulder, Moen smiled and looked at the kneeling crowd in front of him.

He bowed slightly to them and said:

"I am very grateful that you all have traveled so far for me and for this ruined Rome."

After delivering the extraordinary ability, Trapolis also knelt on one knee and said:

“We are not here for Rome, we are here for you, sir.”

On this Old World, the only one who has ever been worthy of their devotion is Augustus.

Moen nodded and smiled, then looked at the fleet above and said:

"Please convey my gratitude to all the people and the monarch behind you. Without you, this would not be the case today."

"My lord, you will still win even without us."

Moen did not object to this, but he also said:

"I don't have much time, so I must thank you all for your efforts, and please convey my deepest apologies to everyone behind you."

"Please forgive me for not being able to attend in person to express my gratitude."

Only then did the crowd realize what was going on and look up in astonishment.

"My lord, what do you mean?"

Moen smiled at them:

"My only reason for returning was to clean up this Rome that is no longer Rome. But now, I have no reason to stay any longer."

The crowd lowered their heads again.

This is truly unfair to Augustus, who was the one who truly saved the world.

However, this is indeed the most suitable ending.

The Lord of the World could be the Lord of the World back then, and now, they are willing to make a trip to the Old Continent for the sake of the Lord of the World.

However, three eras later, they could no longer accept the rule of the world's ruler.

They acknowledged Augustus's achievements and favors.

Trapolis bowed deeply and said:

"We will do our best to restore your Rome and prevent all the mistakes of the past from continuing."

“I am very grateful for your kindness, but Rome must stand on its own two feet, because I have found that I seem to have spoiled Rome too much, to the point that they have grown into monsters under our pampering.”

Trapolis glanced back at the crowd, and after a brief exchange of glances, he understood what everyone was thinking.

At the very least, they should be made to express their gratitude.

This overwhelming victory is truly insufficient to repay them for everything they have ever received.

Trapolis lowered his head again and said:

"My lord, I, I..."

But he didn't wait until he finished.

He then heard the mournful neighing of the white pegasus.

Augustus, who was clearly a mortal but whose brilliance overshadowed all others, has vanished.

Along with Augustus, the centurion and many of Augustus's honor guards also disappeared.

Although many honor guards remained, roughly two-thirds of them had already left with Augustus.

This sudden turn of events caused the crowd to instinctively stand up.

But they couldn't find Augustus.

Moreover, the white ice pegasus neighed once, then turned its back on the mortal world and returned to the spirit world.

Looking at the closing, colorful cracks and the lonely Quintus.

Trapolis sighed, then stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, saying:

"Rome has been entrusted to you by Augustus. Do not disappoint Augustus's expectations!"

Then, the elf from the Age of Gods bowed to the spot where Augustus had stood, and before turning to leave, he bent down and plucked the golden flower he had always cherished from his chest.

After leaving the Golden Flower, which he himself did not know originated from the other party, to Augustus, the Golden Flower Lord led the elven fleet back to the foot of the Sacred Tree.

The same applies to the rest of the people.

They also left their gifts, more or less, in the places where Augustus once stood.

The longsword of the round table, the iron hammer of the dwarf, Dacia's scimitar, and the flame-shaped spear.

Gifts from all over the world have been quietly left here by people from all over the world.

Not long after, the massive fleet that blotted out the sky also departed.

Only Quintus and the Romans, no longer slaves, felt a sense of loss.

The only thing that could comfort them was that although Augustus had left, he had left behind a third of the honor guard.

This will be the foundation upon which they rebuild Rome.

Although people do not know where the other honor guards went.

It is likely that they have already started new lives in the place of their original promised rest, and this return is simply to follow Augustus.

-

The crowd in front of Moen had disappeared, and the fleet that had blotted out the sky after the opening also vanished.

The only person he could see now was Lian Xiaojia, someone he knew all too well.

It felt familiar, yet also somewhat strange.

After a long period of melancholy.

Augustus transformed back into Moen, carefully removed and folded the blood-stained ribbon, and then sat down on the sofa with a sigh of relief, savoring this moment of peace.

In front of him, an information terminal was continuously playing breaking news that had just gone viral—many people said they finally remembered what they had been dreaming about these past few days.

In a place called Rome, they followed a great man named Augustus in a noble cause to save the world!

They liberated city after city and freed slave after slave.

Some reporters even said that many of these people were people they had never met before, yet they were able to accurately state the names and identities of the people they met.

Of course, this refers to the identities in Rome and the Old World, which were never recorded by the Human Union.

Upon seeing this, the time travelers erupted in silent jubilation.

They knew everything that had happened in the Old World, and many of them were even infiltrated into that overwhelming army. However, the fact that the Honor Army came from among their own people was something they were completely unaware of.

Once this news was confirmed, it directly proved what they and the other side had been speculating about for the past five years—that the People's Federation was the resting place?!

Moen, who had also suspected this, took out his pocket watch from his chest.

The wounds inflicted by his own stupidity and arrogance were still displayed menacingly before Moen's eyes.

This made Moen feel deeply guilty, but also extremely fortunate.

Fortunately, he still has one more chance.

Fortunately, the pocket watch was still there.

Because this rare peace was so precious, Moen sat there until late at night before getting up to carefully put away the folded blood-stained ribbon.

But just as he was about to pick up the staff from the saint and place the blood-stained ribbon next to the shroud of hominids...

The cane cracked.

-

On the Old World side.

The last commander of ten thousand approached Quintus, and after unsheathing his sword, he planted it around the gifts.

He then asked Quintus:

"What was the purpose of the supplies and food that Augustus left behind?"

Quintus then came to his senses in surprise and said:

"I do not know either."

-

Also on the Old World side, fleets from other continents continued to fly across the sky.

Amidst the chaos of the ancient city of Pompeii, Lilith strolled through with immense pleasure.

The nobles wanted to escape, the soldiers wanted to plunder, and the slaves wanted to rebel.

The conflicts of human nature were perfectly displayed before her.

This made her feel very happy.

However, that was not her goal.

She is not a demon that feeds on negative emotions or is based on chaos.

She just loves it all.

But the reason she came to Pompeii at this moment was for something she had been searching for.

Deep beneath the ancient city of Pompeii, the secret passages that should have been under tight guard have been completely deserted due to the escape of their guards.

Even so, countless spells and mechanisms still guard the deepest parts of everything.

However, everything stopped working when Lilith revealed the elven ring she had deliberately worn on her left hand.

It wasn't until she pushed open the innermost door as she descended the spiral staircase.

Lilith Shava saw a sanctuary exactly the same as the one the witch and the knight had seen.

The only difference was that next to the altar standing in the center of the sanctuary lay an extremely ugly monster.

He was once a noble angel, and his wings, now turned into two lumps of flesh, are the best proof of that.

But at this moment, it is just a hideous monster that is slowly growing.

Lilith, a smile on her face, knelt down in front of the monster, stroking its swollen cheek with a mixture of pity and mockery, and said:

"Aren't you too blind to your own abilities? You escaped thanks to the Holy Relics, so why are you still acting so foolishly? The true master of Pompeii?"

The monster trembled with excitement at Lilith's smile.

But it had no effect; even Lilith could sense the powerful force hidden within it.

This is not a position or power that it could ever possess.

Lilith simply shook her head and reached into its swollen, foul-smelling body, taking out a piece of liver encased in blood and flesh amber.

Big update tomorrow!

Chapter 256 Lilith Eve (5k5)

As the organs, encased in flesh and amber, were removed.

The ugly, deformed monster began to shrink visibly.

But what is even more astonishing than the shrinking of its body is the dissipation of the enormous power within it.
