one of two beings.

said the man whose face was covered in darkness.

"Based on the case of Roman Dmitry The Duke of Vieto is coming to the fore and gathering people. The public is on their side. If you push the situation a little bit more, it will escalate into a civil war in an instant."

next.

Another being said.

"Emperor Valhalla is taking this situation seriously. It's not about listening to the public... If he orders the rebellion to be suppressed, Valhalla will face irreversible calamity."

their reports.

got used to

Roman Dmitry had witnessed mysterious scenes through the World Tree, one of which was Isabelle, the queen of the Luna Kingdom.

And another one.

In the darkened space, Alexander was working on some sort of tactic, and he appeared to be receiving reports with exactly the same content as now.

Moment.

"Puhaha."

Alexander burst out laughing.

The way he went around, to be precise, the identity of the men reporting to him made him happy.

two beings.

They were the Emperor Valhalla and the Duke of Vieto.

They were reporting to Alexandre of the Valhalla imperial family and the rebels biting each other, as if they were not the ones responsible for this.

The world has fallen into a great delusion.

It is thought that the Duke of Vieto, who could not overcome the atrocities of Emperor Valhalla, finally rebelled, but in fact, from the moment Stern Valhalla ascended to the emperor's throne, the two were nothing more than a match.

on the palm of your hand.

Valhalla was placed.

Aleksandr barely quelled his quivering lips and said to the two men.

"Our plan is progressing steadily without a single deviation. Variables due to Dmitry are trivial things that don't even deserve to be described as variables when we achieve our wishes. On the contrary, it gave me the opportunity to move ahead with what I had planned for a long time. agitate people motivate people The moment Valhalla is engulfed in war, we will be able to advance the moment we hoped for."

expression of insignificance.

It was appropriate.

No matter how great a swordsman Roman Dmitry was, he was nothing more than a chess piece moved by Alexander's will in the vortex of rebellion.

How funny would it be if he found out about this?

If that happened, Alexander felt compelled to show him this scene to ridicule him.

Unlike the previous life.

The present self was superior to that.

That was then.

The moment he leaned back on the chair, Alexander's sharp gaze turned towards the air.

with a bang.

" The power of the world tree?"

That moment.

Alexander had already noticed Roman Dmitry's existence.

That he overheard his conversation with the power of the World Tree.

But instead, he smiled.

"Roman Dmitry. If you had appeared on this world only a hundred years earlier, our plan would have run into great trouble. But not now. In a situation where a period is left, no matter how hard you try, the reality does not change. Where do you go crazy The more intense the finale, the more enjoyable it will be."

A space filled with darkness.

Unlike the two men who bowed their heads and did not move, Alexander couldn't hold back his laughter for a long time enough to shake his shoulders.

present again.

Fragments of memory were recovered.

Alexander's figure was scattered in the wind, and after that, Emperor Valhalla looked at Roman Dmitry with a smile on his face.

"Kukkeuk, is it fun? As you said, Stern Valhalla was our puppet. We gnawed at the interior of Valhalla through him, and made the people of Valhalla dissatisfied with the emperor. The idiots who cry out for romance and pursue only pure-bloodism. Just as those who raised their heads and said that they would live only for Valhalla, accepted your existence to defeat the public enemy of the Emperor Valhalla, according to the original plan, they planned to completely devour Valhalla through the Continental Conquest."

grand plan.

It has its time.

It had to be now, and Stern Valhalla was a scapegoat who one day had to die for the sake of the plan.

own fate.

Stern Valhalla knew.

In the eyes of others, he boasted of unstoppable power in the Valhalla Empire, but in reality he was forced to sacrifice his life as soon as Alexander's command was given.

He wanted a normal life, but he was forced to rise to the throne. Going down on the spot was also an area he couldn't choose.

So crazy.

lost my mind

If he was going to die anyway, he enjoyed his power to the fullest, and he killed everything that stood out to him in order to feel the relief of killing Jess Valhalla.

That's how notoriety grew. People called him a ruthless tyrant and, of course, showed little interest in the affairs of Valhalla.

There was no reason to work hard. The shell of the emperor of Valhalla did not give him any special meaning.

It was the truth of Stern Valhalla.

the moment he was executed.

He showed his weakness.

The way he was holding on to the rope to live and struggling like a bastard was the real face of a man named Stern Valhalla.

said Emperor Valhalla.

"I'm really sorry. Because of you, Stern Valhalla was disposed of, and the plan was completely revised. Just when Sanchez proposed a rebellion to me. We intended to dethrone Stern Valhalla from the throne and win your trust by replacing it with me. That's smart. How did we find out our intentions? I thought it was a perfect plan, but it would turn out to be so futile."

The hypothesis became true.

Alexander.

The years he had prepared were accumulating one by one.

What Roman Dmitry confirmed was still only the tip of the iceberg.

"Last question."

series of situations.

It might be shocking, but Roman Dmitry was blunt.

No matter what the other person was saying, I asked for the necessary information.

"If you were going to hide the truth from me. Why did you allow access to the tombs in the South?"

* * *

Actually.

His suspicion of Emperor Valhalla was only at the level of caution.

The fact that Hernard's condition wasn't as good as he had hoped and ordered to investigate him, but it must have taken some time to get to the truth.

However, Emperor Valhalla allowed access to the southern tombs.

If you go there, you will definitely get clues, but you did not make any effort to turn the situation around with useless excuses.

Emperor Valhalla.

pointed to the sky

"It's for entertainment."

"Yu-hee?"

"The person we serve hates boring fights. You have to rebel as much as possible and resist as fiercely as possible, and the joy of subjugating them all is great. And I didn't want to leave any doubts. I judged that I, who should be playing a role entirely in your favor, would certainly raise doubts if I did not allow you to enter the Tomb of the South. From what we've found, you're smart enough.

Heck, he laughed.

"Of course, I did not know that I could infer the truth from only that amount of information. Kanellas Valhalla's record speaks of Kronos' intervention, and Cortes and Stern's record of the injustice of the appointment of an heir, but even with all the information, it's not easy to predict that I'm behind it. Seeing this, Kanellas Valhalla is amazing. By making the archives indestructible, we were unable to remove them beforehand."

Roman Dmitry has already come to the truth.

therefore.

I deliberately told the truth.

Why?

From now on, it was showtime.

Emperor Valhalla said with a smile on his face.

"Roman Dmitry. you have reached the truth I found out who I was, who I was above me, and the fact that Stern Valhalla was nothing more than a puppet. So what do you mean by me? People watching us right now will think we are just having a normal conversation. But if you kill me in front of them. You will be the wicked who killed the Emperor of Valhalla."

walked around

Although it was seen as a kindness to the people, Emperor Valhalla was stained with madness in the sight of Roman Dmitry.

"Look at the people who can't take their eyes off me. Thanks to you, I became a hero of Valhalla. A true emperor worthy of pure blood, who regained the romance of Valhalla! We sincerely appreciate you. Starting from the outskirts of the Dmitry family, you have grown incredibly fast. by the way. The moment you kill me, you will surely fall into hell. You have already given instructions to your subordinates so that your explanation does not work, and all the people of Valhalla who praised you will put blood on your neck saying you must take revenge on Roman Dmitry. Since then, war is inevitable. It will be difficult to block the attack of the Valhalla Empire with the confederates of the Kingdom Union, and in the meantime, the Kronos Empire will put an end to its grand plan."

the price of murder.

It was very fatal.

Even if he knew his intentions, it would have been foolish to kill Emperor Valhalla in front of everyone.

"But you can't help but kill me. If you let me live, I will have a basis to attack Dmitry. To attack Dmitry one day. Right now, I can't openly oppose you because I like public opinion about you, but people's hearts are like reeds, so there's room for change at any time. It's not unusual to change your reputation, especially for outsiders like you. So, choose. Will you kill me or will you not kill me?"

arms outstretched

as if to kill.

His face was full of mischievous smiles.

"As I said before, the land on which we stand is the place where Valhalla began. southern jungle. Killing me, the emperor, and running away from here, I guarantee, will not be so easy."

he was sure

Roman Dmitry.

In this plate led by Alexander, it will never be safe.

* * *

I could feel people's eyes.

The people of Valhalla.

The warriors of Valhalla.

They ran a long way to see Roman Dmitry, and as they watched the process of taking the exam, they showed awe-filled eyes.

they were sure

Roman Dmitry, who saved Valhalla from the abyss of evil, will become a great warrior in the future. So, I tried to capture it even a little bit more.

their burning aspirations.

If you commit an act of betrayal, your cold longing will turn into intense anger.

It was the game the Emperor Valhalla was aiming for.

He prepared for any contingency.

I came out to meet him first, cut off the voice, and thought about Roman Dmitry.

suddenly.

Memories of my previous life came to mind.

in the blazing fire.

In the ruined village, a woman holding a baby looked at Baek Joong-hyuk and cursed.

"You devilish bastard!"

"Are you still human?"

why! Are you saying that you magicians are hurting people!"

Not only the wife.

All the villagers pointed their fingers.

At the words of their cry, ready to die, Baek Jung-hyuk stared at them.

a few days ago.

The guys from the faction Moorim swept away the families of the Magicians first.

After killing all the people begging for their life, it was displayed as if it were lavish. It was his revenge.

However, people covered their ears, did not see the truth, and squeaked in the prejudice that demonism symbolizes evil.

People who say that the magician is unconditionally wrong. Nothing could quell their anger.

that day.

Baek Joong-hyuk understood.

the magician's way.

People unconditionally regarded magic as evil.

According to common sense, the life of the weak and the gangsik was unconditionally wrong, so even if the faction made a mistake, the magicians were held responsible.

It was really funny. The factions who cry for justice have also done devilish things countless times.

It's not an excuse that the magicians did well, but in the end, the lives of humans were no different.

witchcraft, or factions.

Both pursued each other's interests.

However, depending on whether or not it was revealed, people distinguished between justice and evil.

At that time, in the midst of criticism from people, what kind of life did Baek Jung-hyeok choose?

I approached the Emperor Valhalla.

In a situation where people were watching, Emperor Valhalla showed a friendly smile as if to give it a try.

That moment.

????????????

" ?!"

grabbed his head.

When the bewildered Emperor Valhalla opened his eyes, he tilted his head and looked down.

"You seem to have misunderstood something."

people said

Roman Dmitry.

The hero of Valhalla.

The benefactor who saved Redford.

A brave warrior who defeated the Kronos Empire.

All kinds of good-looking modifiers expressed him.

As long as this life does not cross the line as a human being, people will unconditionally defend Roman Dmitry no matter what he does, just like the factions did.

He's not like that.

On the outside, he was a hero of a sympathetic faction, but behind the scenes, people will praise Roman Dmitry like those who defend the scum that tortured and plundered people.

However.

"I am a person who is used to playing villains by nature."

as it is.

quack.

Twisted the head of Emperor Valhalla.
