Chapter 415: Star, the Prezias (7)

Are we just going to leave them be, sir? Bel-Marduks subordinate asked.

Bel-Marduk, who was watching the <Saha World>, looked up and smiled mischievously. What are you talking about?

Castor has also joined the battle between Chiron and Sadalmelik. The news is also affecting the Zodiacs now, not just their armies and factions.

Why are you so concerned? Children experience growth when they fight.

I believe it would be wise not to take this matter so lightly. Some are even saying that the entire existence of <Horoscope> is under threat, his subordinate bitterly reported.

Hehe! Theyre finally feeling some sense of urgency, huh? Bel-Marduks smile deepened. Well, the <Anti-Star> Alliance is coming at us from above, Twilight is striking us from below, and we have an internal conflict in our hands. No wonder they feel like were in a crisis.

Bel-Marduk didnt seem bothered in the slightest. The news of Divine Twilight holding up his flag in Helath and terrorizing the Imperial Family had already caused an uproar in <Horoscope>.

Several Star Signs wanted to take this matter into their own hands and attack Divine Twilight themselves. However, before they could, the <Anti-Star> Alliance finally made a move, disrupting the standstill they had with <Horoscope>. The dimension teleportation they performed to get to Worldline #802 from Worldline #801 was so grand in scale that it heavily affected the Causality of <Deus Ex Machina>.

<Horoscope> was in a state of emergency. Divine Twilight had conquered Arcadia, which they used to travel from the Imaginary Plane to the Great Universe, and the <Anti-Star> Alliance kept them under pressure. To make matters worse, Sadalmelik and Castor had teamed up against Chiron. It was as if they werent even in the same <Society> anymore.

For the first time since its foundation, <Horoscope> had a serious crisis at hand.

Lets get one thing straight. Weve been so busy with the growth of our <Society> that we didnt get the chance to discipline our people. It would be best to think of this moment as a chance to reorganize our <Horoscope>, Bel-Marduk said with a shrug.

I understand now, sir. Ill tell the others and those from the <Syndicate> not to act rashly and wait for further instructions.

Good thinking. Bel-Marduk chuckled as he patted the subordinates shoulder. He then looked down and watched the <Saha World> footage displayed below his feet. It showed Chang-Sun and the Prezia Family walking toward the Imperial Palaces wide-open gates.

Bel-Marduks eyes gleamed. Isnt it about time for you to learn about the truth, Twilight?

* * *

The Imperial Family permitted Treville Prezia to enter the Imperial Palace, but only essential personnel could accompany him. Hence, only Sietle Prezia and some of the vassals came with him.

Treville gulped out of sheer anxiety. The Arcadian Imperial Army, the crowd that was formed during the parade too many eyes were on him right now. However, his meeting with the Heavenly Dragon Emperor made him nervous the most.Follow current novels at novelhall.com)

The Heavenly Dragon Emperor made the Prezia Family fall as soon as he ascended the throne. Fortunately, he had allegedly lost all interest in politics and indulged himself in his harem.

Treville had never met the Heavenly Dragon Emperor in person. He thought about expressing his disdain for ruining his family, but he was so nervous that he couldnt even come up with what to say. From what he heard, the emperor was no longer interested in secular affairs and couldnt even remember them that well. If the emperor failed to remember Jan Prezia, he wouldnt know what to do.

As his thoughts jumbled up, Jin Prezia tapped his shoulder from behind to reassure him. It was as if he could tell what he was going through.

Dont worry. Dont forget whos with you.

Trevilles eyes widened as he looked back and forth between Jin and Chang-Sun, who nodded at Treville to further reassure him.

[The Celestial Divine Twilight has blessed the Player Treville Prezia!]

Treville felt the fog in his head clear up. He couldnt ask for a better backup. Although the emperor had the title of Heavenly Dragon Emperor, he was still only a humansomeone who was still closer to being a mortal than a god.

The emperor was rumored to have completed <Exuviation> and <Transcendence> and obtained the seat of a Star Sign after a long cultivation. However, since the world was given no evidence of it, it was more likely that the Inspection Bureau was making those rumors up. After all, they employed the same tactic when they framed the Prezia Family.

Yes, Granduncle! Trevilles head cleared up as he took a big step forward.

* * *

His Majesty, Their Highnesses, and civil and military officials have imperial courts in this sacred place. Please keep in mind that any use of physical force is forbidden here, the eunuch told Treville and the others as he guided them.

Contrary to how Chang-Sun reassured Treville, Chang-Sun grew vigilant for the first time since he arrived at Arcadia.

Its like were walking on a minefield, Chang-Sun thought. He hadnt put his guard down ever since he walked through the gates. The Imperial Palace itself was enormous and magnificent, fitting for people ruling an entire galaxy.

All the barriers and magic spells installed in this palace are impressive.

Chang-Sun had his [Gnostic Eye] open, ensuring that he wouldnt miss the countless magic circles spread all over the sky. Storms, earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions every one of the spells had surpassed the level of Authorities. They were more like natural disasters.

As far as I know, <Horoscope> chose this place as their divine ground. taking at least one Star Sign out shouldnt be that difficult.

Entering the Imperial Palace of Arcadia was a gamble for Chang-Sun as well. Despite how arrogant <Horoscope> was, they wouldnt skip fortifying their headquarters.

[The Celestial Pavo is standing by, ready to descend!]

The Great Family of Prezia has become vulgar after being involved with the lowly!

Woooosh!

A flash filled the room, followed by six heads flying in the air.

!

!

!

What? I cant hear you. Chang-Sun coldly glared at the officials and priests.

As if someone poured a bucket of ice water on them, they immediately quieted down, surprised that Chang-Sun resorted to force this quickly and blatantly. Some even hiccupped.

The heads soon fell and rolled on the floor. They all belonged to demigods who had accomplished <Exuviation>people who had confidence in their skills. Prime Minister Seamilop, who used to be called the best warrior of Arcadia, was one of them.

Keep talking. Ill kill as many as it takes to silence this hall.

Nobody dared defy him now.

I only have one demand. Chang-Sun turned to the throne. Hey, emperor.

The Heavenly Dragon Emperor showed no reaction even as his subordinates were killedno, he didnt move at all. It was as if he had turned into a doll.

Antares asked you to keep something in this Imperial Palace, didnt he? Hand it over, and Ill spare you and everyone here.

The Heavenly Dragon Emperor remained silent, making Chang-Sun smile.

All right, fine. If thats how you want to do this He slowly held up one hand. Noticing that something was up, the military officials and priests quickly ran toward him. They couldnt care less about themselves.

... then deal with the consequences. Chang-Sun extended his hand toward the Heavenly Dragon Emperor.

[The Celestial Divine Twilight has released his full Divine Class!]

Stop him!

Protect His Majesty!

Paah! Paah, paah!

The priests activated their Star Signs Authorities as they pounced on Chang-Sun. While unleashing their Classes, the military officials and Arcadian Imperial Army soldiers surrounded the throne to protect the Heavenly Dragon Emperor.

Much to their surprise, however, the gale at Chang-Suns fingertips pulled their ruler toward him. The emperor drew out an immense amount of energy and fiercely fought back, but Chang-Sun had spent so much time dealing with <Darkness> and supreme sacred light that his control over his power had increased. The emperor was far too weak to defy him.

[Using Telekinesis!]

Chang-Sun grabbed the Heavenly Dragon Emperor by the neck and kept him hanging in the air.

Y-Your Majesty!!!!

Everyone, stop! His Majesty is in danger!

Taken aback, the priests and military officials anxiously stopped in their tracks. The Heavenly Dragon Emperor was still unperturbed.

Lets take a look at the famous emperors face, shall we?

Chang-Sun brushed the bead threads of the emperors myeonryugwan[1] aside. When he finally saw the face hidden underneath, his expression darkened.

The Heavenly Dragon Emperor looked like Chang-Suns real appearance.

1. It is like a crown used in Asia, but myeonryugwan is only used during ceremonies. The name differs in each country, and this is the Korean version. Its a mianguan in China, and its called a benkan in Japan.

Namu's Thoughts

Stop, Chang-Sun coldly commanded as Treville and his vassals instinctively began to go down on one knee. What are you doing? You are all my followers. You do not bow to anyone else without my permission.
