Chapter 64 Baekseong Palace Basement (1)

“It’s the same as before. Someone who is qualified to stand next to me, as Eileen just said. and… … .”

With those words, Shion looked at several women looking at us with slightly nervous eyes and continued.

“A person who survived after this war ended.”

“ah.”

People looked like they realized something when they heard Zion’s words.

Yes, they were now on the verge of a great war in which the fate of the world depended.

In a way, deciding on an empress under these circumstances was a funny thing.

“Well, it would be even better if you like coffee.”

Sion chuckled at that, added a word, and lifted the teacup that Fredo had filled.

In fact, what Zion was thinking about before answering was not about Fredo’s question.

‘Will I stay here after the war ends? Or is it going back to the original time?’

As soon as the story about the Empress came out, this was the thought that came to Shion’s mind.

What will happen to me after I complete my contract with the gods?

What was your intention in the past?

Although I was starting to get an outline of it in my head thanks to the clues I had gotten from the gods and dragons so far, I still felt like an important key was missing.

‘To find out this, the only way is to kill the Demon King?’

Shion looks at the teacup in front of her for a moment and gets lost in thought.

Soon, a possibility began to appear in Shion’s mind.

‘Maybe we can get one more clue before that.’

Along with that, Zion’s eyes also slowly began to sink.

* * *

“In the end, Zion Agnes was crowned.”

In a pitch-black abyss where not even a ray of light existed, the Prince of Anger quietly opened his mouth.

“then… … Is it war now? You’ve been preparing since before then. “That guy.”

Acrimosia responded to those angry words with furrowed eyebrows.

An abyss that trembles strongly as if representing her mood.

“Before that, I’d like to give it a shot somehow… … “There is nothing suitable.”

I’ve been thinking about him over and over again, but nothing has come to mind.

Because all the plans they had been carrying out within the empire had already gone awry.

That too mostly by Sion Agnes.

“Still, a powerful force has joined us here, so I have no choice but to be satisfied with that.”

I let out a low voice of anger, recalling the ‘First Sky’ that visited Demon Station not long ago.

But despite his words, the frantic frowning eyebrows did not straighten.

“hmm… … .”

She keeps drooling with her arms crossed as if she is thinking about something.

How much time has passed like that?

“Hey.”

Acrimosia’s mouth slowly opened and a calmer voice came out.

“Isn’t there still one thing left that Sion Agnes hasn’t touched? “The capital of the empire, that is, within the imperial castle.”

“What do you mean? The imperial castle has already been devastated a long time ago… … !”

Her angry eyes sank even deeper as she stopped speaking, as if something had occurred to her.

“Are you talking about the ‘remnants’ of the First World War? Surely that could cause a huge blow to the empire… … .”

A remnant that resided deep within the imperial castle even before they ascended to the position of grand duke.

That’s why I couldn’t think of it right away.

Anger, who thought for a moment about the ‘remnants’ of the squadron, slowly shook his head.

“But we cannot activate it with our own strength. That’s why I left it alone until now.”

From the beginning, it was said to be a piece of cake.

“It will probably be difficult unless the king himself steps forward.”

That was practically the same as saying it was impossible.

Their king did not show up even when the demon army was defeated in the first war, and even when two of the four newly crowned dukes met their deaths.

Just once, last time, I reacted to something, but after that, I felt nothing again.

“Then I guess I’ll have to ask the king.”

With those words, Acrimosia stood up.

“Where are you going?”

“Where do you think you’re going?”

A frenzy of walking while answering questions of anger like that.

Of course she knew too.

Even if he went to ask for it himself, there was no way the king would move.

But that didn’t mean I could stay still.

Sion Agnes’s hand was increasingly tightening their grip, and they could not sit still and do nothing in this situation.

Soon, Acrimosia’s new form was about to escape the abyss.

-There is no need for that.

A voice rang in their ears.

No, that wasn’t what rang in my ears.

A voice that begins in your head and is imprinted deep in your consciousness, and that you can never reject.

The archdukes’ whole bodies shook as if struck by lightning due to the far-off intensity of that voice.

At the same time, their heads begin to turn of their own accord, as if they were possessed.

A being appears at the end of their field of vision.

-Because I came here.

That moment,

“Wow, king… … .”

The archdukes’ knees slowly began to bend.

* * *

The first floor of Baekseong Palace, the center of the imperial castle and the place where the emperor stays.

There, accompanied only by a few close associates, Zion was looking through the interior of the palace that was now completely his.

‘You described it in quite detail.’

Antique paintings painted on the interior walls.

They were the achievements of previous emperors who had ruled Agnes until now.

Although there was no specific indication of which emperor’s achievements were made, the period could be guessed by the fact that the colors in the painting had faded.

at that time,

‘That… … .’

An unusual picture caught Sion’s eyes.

Unlike other paintings, this is the only painting that does not commemorate the emperor’s achievements.

Although the background was an imperial castle, the beings that appeared in the picture were not the emperor, but a man holding a spear and countless monsters that appeared to be fighting him.

‘Is this something that happened during the First World War?’

Because it was a painting that had never been mentioned in the chronicles, doubts arose in Zion’s eyes.

“That painting is the achievement of Magnus Flair, the first hero.”

A single voice was heard from behind.

Shion turned his head and saw the figure of 1st Prince Rubrios walking towards him.

The person Shion was trying to meet here.

“Although it was not an achievement of the emperor, it was a decisive achievement that saved the entire capital, including the imperial castle, and led to victory in the First War, so it was especially engraved in the Baekseong Palace.”

From the moment Zion became emperor, he treated Zion with respect.

“What kind of achievement was it?”

“Towards the end of the First World War, the Demon Army, feeling that they were at a disadvantage, made one extreme move. The plan was to attack the capital, which could be said to be the heart of the empire, and especially the imperial castle, which was the most central. The mobilized force was two of the four great dukes and countless high-ranking demons under them.”

After saying that, Rubrios looked at the picture for a few seconds and then continued.

“It was a very sudden attack, and he appeared when the imperial castle, which had not responded properly, was about to completely collapse.”

The 1st hero, Magnus Flare.

“He appeared alone, without even accompanying his companions, and threw the two archdukes to the ground on the spot. As a result, he was able to lead the great war to victory.”

However, even if he was the strongest warrior, it was impossible for him to fight two archdukes at the same time. Magnus suffered serious injuries in the battle and died shortly afterwards, and that painting was engraved to commemorate his achievements.

‘Couldn’t they destroy it?’

Although one of Rubrios’ expressions caught me off guard, Shion didn’t ask about it and went straight to the main topic.

“From now on, I will go down to the basement and come back, so you can leave my work to me in the meantime.”

The reason why Sion called the 1st prince here.

Actually, I was planning to leave it to Evelyn, but she had left for the border and was not currently in the imperial castle.

Rubrios’ eyes were filled with doubt at Zion’s words.

“Is there any need to leave it to me?”

Rubrios knew.

The first thing the emperor ascends to the throne of is the fact that he must visit the ‘Dream of the Stars’ located in the basement of the Baekjeong Palace and perform some kind of ceremony.

But the ceremony lasted only a few hours at most.

There is no need to entrust this task to someone else.

“I think it will take longer than I thought.”

At those words, the curiosity in the first prince’s eyes deepened, but Shion turned away as if he had no intention of answering any further.

“Please come back, Your Majesty.”

The aides bowing politely towards Zion.

Sion’s new form, which was walking away while being seen off by his aides and Rubrios, soon completely disappeared beyond the dark underground passage of the Baekseong Palace.

* * *

“You’re here again…” … .”

On the third visit, these were the first words Bayla, the warehouse keeper of ‘Dreams of the Stars’, said while looking at Zion.

Is it because of the unconventional appearances that Zion showed during the past two visits?

There was more anxiety than joy in her eyes as she looked at Zion.

Shion chuckled at Bayla’s reaction and opened his mouth.

“You know why I came here, right?”

“Well, of course! First of all, congratulations on your ascension to the throne, Your Majesty Emperor Sion Agnes.”

Bayla bowed her head deeply while saying that.

‘I never thought he would really come back as emperor.’

Although she had expected it to some extent, it was still a surprise, so she took a deep breath to calm herself down and looked up again.

“Are you going to proceed with the registration ceremony right away?”

“Sure.”

Bayla closed her eyes at Zion’s short answer,

-ŒØŦþøĦ

The spell was recited in a language that human vocal cords cannot pronounce.

Whoa!

Along with that, a translucent contract appears in the future of Zion.

“Just drop one drop of blood there and it will be over.”

Hearing Bayla’s words, Zion without hesitation dropped a drop of his blood on the contract. At that moment, Paaaa!

With a light so bright that it was impossible to open the eyes, the two-part contract permeated into Sion’s body and Bayla’s body, respectively.

How much time has passed like that?

When the contract completely penetrated into the body and the light that filled the surroundings almost disappeared,

“Congratulations, Your Majesty Shion.”

Bayla opened her closed eyes, spread her arms wide, spun around in place, and opened her mouth.

“Now all the weapons here belong to Your Majesty.”

Everything that existed in the Agnes Empire belonged to the emperor, and the weapons that existed in ‘Dream of the Stars’ did not escape that category either.

Therefore, emperors who ascended to the throne have owned weapons through this registration ceremony.

Of course, whether it could be recognized by the armed forces was a different matter.

“okay? “So that means I can do whatever I want here?”

Did he sense something from the sight of Shion looking around with a slight smile?

“yes? yes… … That’s true, but why are you suddenly asking? … .”

Bayla asked, looking at Sion with an anxious face.

And Shion’s subsequent answer showed that her intuition was correct.

“Then let’s take all the weapons here.”

A moment of silence.

and,

“Yesssss?”

Bayla, whose pupils had dilated to the point where they could no longer grow, lost the composure she had maintained for hundreds of years and shouted at Sion.

“Well, what do you mean? “I can’t believe you took it.”

“Literally. “Everything here will be raised above ground.”

“W-what… … !”

Shion responded as if he would not accept any disagreement and immediately turned around.

It was something I had been thinking about ever since I first came to Dream of Stars.

It was a huge loss to have such excellent weapons all stuck here without being able to shine.

It will definitely be a great help in improving power.

“Oh, and when I bring the weapons, you should come up too.”

Finally, Zion turned his head and said those words to Veila, who was sitting on the floor muttering, ‘Hehehehe, I’m ruined.’ And just like that, he left the stars’ dream.

A fog of supernatural ability immediately obscures vision and fills all directions.

Into the fog, Zion walked slowly.

‘Is it this way?’

Now that the registration ceremony was over, it was right to go back to the ground, but the direction in which Zion was heading was completely far from the ground.

Zion heads deeper into the basement of Baekseong Palace.

Nevertheless, Zion’s eyes were as calm as the first time.

Because this is what we came down to underground from the beginning.

The registration ceremony was only a secondary goal.

Veila, the warehouse keeper in ‘Dream of the Stars’, was a homunculus created with dragon magic.

So where on earth is the dragon that created her?

The answer was surprisingly close.

‘Underground of the same Baekseong Palace.’

This is the place where Shion decided to deal with it later when he first visited this place and turned around.

There was a guy there who created Bayla.

‘Will my personality be the same as before?’

And in fact, even if it wasn’t a chronology, Shion already knew that guy’s identity.

Because he was the one who had been put here by himself in the past when he was an Eternal.

When I visited before, I didn’t know if it was the same thing, but now I was sure.

‘It would be a pain if they made a fuss after the war broke out, so it would be right to suppress them now.’

Also, there was something I wanted to ask.

How long did it take to walk like that?

It was the moment when Zion’s new form, which was moving quickly, finally entered the ‘realm’ of existence.

[Entering the eternal ordeal]

The mechanical voice that had previously been heard from the Tower of Causality rang in Zion’s ears.
