Chapter 833 – 833. A Tyrant for You
There is no leader in the Tenshin religion. Instead, three high priests run the church as the supreme power.
The three high priests met at the headquarters of the Celestial Church. Originally, they seldom got together in one place because of what they did. Even if we don’t meet, we can communicate through letters, magic, and surnames.
High Priestess Penelope.
Born as a saint, she stays in the Belakaros Imperial Family, which can be said to be a companion of the Celestial Church, and she works to maintain the Celestial Church’s influence over the Velakaros Empire.
High Priest Oblan.
He runs the headquarters of the Celestial Church within the Empire. He could be said to be the actual representative of the Celestial Church.
High Priestess Gedrick.
He is in charge of affairs outside the Empire. It is his job to spread the tenets of the Celestial Church outside the empire. Humans do not necessarily exist only in empires, and other non-human intelligent people can believe in and follow the gods.
They gathered together, exchanged brief greetings, and got down to business. Oblan was the first to speak.
“The emperor of this generation…. Eugene Belakaros is insane even if he is crazy. The purges are non-stop. No, it’s no longer a purge, it’s just a massacre. If you collect the corpses of dead humans, it will be enough to make a mountain.”
Au Blanc’s face was contorted, and his voice contained a hint of displeasure. And the other high priest felt the fear hidden in that voice.
“That is not the only tyranny of the emperor. We taxed the nobility and our Celestial Church, and brought in the black magicians, the sinners of the continent. I’ve heard that the warlocks were ordered to run the camp. It is said that the camp is a human slaughterhouse.”
Gedrick said. A former paladin, he was the hardest of the three and had little fear of the emperor.
“…….”
Penelope was silent. Even when the two High Priests cursed at the emperor and discussed the future of the Celestial Church, they did not open their mouths.
“Oblanc, Penelope. The emperor’s sword is where it will one day go to our Celestial Church. The Emperor has the power to overcome 300,000 troops alone with the power of the Holy Grail…. If the Emperor decides to destroy the Celestial Church, there is no way to stop it.”
“Gedrick. Who doesn’t know that However, we do not have the strength to oppose the Emperor. The Celestial Church has no influence on the current emperor. If you provoke the emperor unreasonably, only the Celestials will be harmed by the headwind that blows.”
“But if the emperor is left alone, not only the empire, but the entire world will groan in pain.”
“Because the heavenly gods do not give any answer…. We must remain silent and not act rashly.”
“Fear not, Oblan. I have a way to kill the Emperor.”
“What method?”
Oblan made a tempting expression. The emperor was in too much danger now. As the emperor disdains the Tenshinkyo, the status and power of the Tenshinkyo are falling to the ground. If this continues, the Celestial Church itself may be shaken. Oblan’s honest feeling is that he wants to get rid of the emperor, saying that he can get rid of it.
“No!”
Penelope, who had been silent all along, spoke. Oh Blanc and Gedrick turned her head to her.
“No! Don’t provoke the Emperor! We just have to prostrate ourselves before the Emperor. The Emperor is a storm, and you must be patient until it passes.”
“… Penelope. You’re confident in your tone. Have you ever seen the future?”
Oblan asked with anticipation.
When Penelope was young, he occasionally had precognitive dreams on the day he was a saint. Thanks to her precognitive dreams, the Celestial Church was able to gain a lot, and it was the reason she took the position of her high priest.
“… I couldn’t look closely. Only a part of what Heaven allowed. The emperor… The Emperor will rule the world. We just have to prostrate ourselves before the Emperor. That’s all. That is the only way to live.”
Oblan looked at Penelope quietly. Her Penelope had a scar on her forehead. It was her scar that her emperor had carved on her.
It was already well known what kind of neglect she received in her imperial castle. No, it’s not at the level of negligence. The emperor beat Penelope and humiliated her.
This never happened to Penelope, but the Emperor once ordered her soldiers to rape her Marquis. The Marquise’s age was similar to Penelope’s. She is Penelope, who is neglected by the emperor. If she stays like this, she might be raped by her soldiers like any of her marquises.
Au Blanc clenched her fist. Penelope was his first love, his crush, and his last.
“Penelope. I think of this as an ordeal from the heavenly gods. Trials should not be endured. Deserves to be overcome If a typhoon comes, shouldn’t we be prepared so that the house does not collapse?”
“Ah…. Oblan. Please think again….”
“Penelope. I’ve already made up my mind. Gedrick, tell me.”
“…… Penelope. Please get out I can’t trust you.”
Gedrick said firmly. Oblan was silent. She understood Gedrick, and decided it was best for Penelope.
“…… Yes. I’m just sad. Today’s work… I will forget it from my memory.”
Penelope got up and left. Penelope will not tell the emperor about this.
“Gedrick. Is there any way to kill the Emperor?”
“The emperor’s strength is the power of the Holy Grail. As the saying goes, poison is treated with poison, so an emperor with the power of the Holy Grail must be dealt with by someone with the same power of the Holy Grail.”
“…… No way. You mean to give the Holy Grail to someone who will stand against the emperor?”
“The King of the Grand Kingdom. He would be more than enough to stand against the Emperor. I am well aware of that. Even if he had the power of the Holy Grail, he would never become a tyrant. I swear by my name.”
“… If it was the King of Grande, I heard it too. Possibilities… There is But the Holy Grail is the problem.”
“I heard that Penelope retrieved the Holy Grail.”
Oh Blanc nodded her head.
Penelope retrieved the Holy Grail from the Emperor. It wasn’t even stolen. It was something the emperor had allowed. Although he had to pay the price, of course.
“The recovered Holy Grail had no power. It takes at least 100 years to accumulate the power of the Holy Grail.”
“Give me the Holy Grail. I will fill the power of the Holy Grail.”
“… Is that artificially possible?”
“It is possible by using other treasures. Trust me.”
“I get it. I believe in you Gedrick.”
Oblan and Gedrick continued to talk until the end of the day.
After receiving the Holy Grail, Gedrick walked quietly through the church’s gardenheheaded down a large tree. A woman appeared.
She was a seductive beauty with long dark purple hair, golden eyes, fair skin and a voluptuous figure.
Her cleric, Gedrick, felt her desire squirm as soon as he saw her, and narrowed her brows.
“I don’t know. What is this? Did you cast a spell on me?”
Her bewitching red lips drew an arc. She laughed at Gedrick.
“Magic? Did you feel lust for me? I’m sorry, but this is what I was born with. I thought he was just a boring old man… There’s also a funny side. I saw you again.”
Morgana licked her lips with her tongue. I don’t know if it was intentional, but all of her actions are erotic. That’s why Gedrick was wary of her.
“Wouldn’t it be quicker for you to seduce the emperor? The current emperor does not reveal women more than the former emperor. If it’s your beauty, the emperor will surely be seduced.”
“Impossible. The emperor reveals a woman, but he is not swayed by a woman. With the protection of the lake, even magic won’t work…. For me to go directly in front of the emperor is like asking him to kill me. An emperor would play with me for the rest of my life.”
Gedrick recalled rumors that Morgana had poisoned the current emperor’s mother. The rumors seem to be true, judging from the Emperor’s hostility towards Morgana and her witches, as well as Morgana’s attitude.
Gedrick took out the Holy Grail given to him by Oblan. It is a sacred object obtained by the Chonshinkyo by paying a huge amount of money. However, at present, this Holy Grail is an ordinary cup.
“I believe you can fill the power of the Holy Grail.”
“Don’t worry. I will definitely fill up the power of the Holy Grail and return it. And you really shouldn’t be greedy.”
Morgana touched her chalice. A hateful object that gave the emperor invincible powers. Her grip on her Holy Grail tightened.
“The Holy Grail’s power seems to give humans invincible power, but…. In fact, there are individual differences. The better the human, the greater the power. I am well aware of my limits. If you are King Grande, you will be able to gain power that surpasses that of the Emperor.”
“That alone is not enough. Know?”
“I will do what I have to do. Aren’t other things your business? I should ask here How are things going?”
“It’s progressing smoothly. Because the Emperor is too strong, too ruthless. It was great that the emperor defeated Harmel’s 300,000 army by himself this time. With that opportunity, those who had no interest in the empire began to be wary of the emperor.”
“…… Why do you seem to be enjoying the current situation? Don’t you hate the Emperor?”
“Hateful. It is the emperor who burned my son, raped my daughter, and killed my mother. There’s no reason you don’t want to kill the Emperor. However… It’s true that it’s fun. It’s much more fun than when I was in the imperial castle. Whoop whoop.”
Morgana’s golden eyes shone. Seeing her prey-like eyes, Gedrick involuntarily became nervous.
Soon Morgana used her magic. Her body dissipates like a mist over her.
“Don’t do anything stupid until I bring you the Holy Grail again.”
“…….”
Morgana is gone.
Gedrick stroked the chilled nape of his neck.
‘She’s beautiful, but she’s creepy. They say she instigated the Archwitch to attack the Emperor…. Does that woman really hate the Emperor? How did the emperor come up with the idea of welcoming such a woman as his empress? … Maybe he played a trick on the emperor.’
Gedrick stared at the place where Morgana had disappeared for a long time.
This is the main school of Tenshinkyo.
Morgana broke through the barrier protecting the main school, and numerous paladins and priests broke through.
‘…… Perhaps she is more powerful than the archwitch. So does the emperor… There are many monsters in this world.’
Gedrick let out a sigh and went back to his room.
•••
Hwangseong was in a commotion.
Today was my birthday. All the nobles of the empire flock to the imperial castle.
As it is a special day, we decided to hold a different banquet than usual. It was the chancellor’s opinion, but honestly, I felt tired of the banquet held every day. It wasn’t bad to hold a special banquet once in a while.
The birthday banquet starts at noon.
I woke up in the morning and got out of bed. Aside from me, about 10 women were spread out on the bed. All of them were beautiful women.
When I got up, the ladies-in-waiting approached. They used to wash and decorate my body. The ladies-in-waiting took turns serving my cock, so it wasn’t boring.
Had breakfast. The number of dishes filling the table is over 300. I only eat a few of these. Throw away everything else.
‘There is no poison today.’
About four months ago, after I single-handedly destroyed Harmel’s 300,000-strong army, assassination attempts ceased. The nobles who rebelled against me have not appeared since then. All the nobles bowed their heads toward me.
‘I think the empire is almost over….’
There were no guys who rebelled against me. If I happened to see a rebellious guy, I would kill him without hesitation.
Lately, I’ve been playing with beauties.
I walked through the hallways and checked my tyrant score.
[Current Tyrant Score – 8,024,147]
The tyrant score goes up even if I don’t kill anyone. Each time you hug a girl, you get 1-2 points.
‘Earl Talmor is managing the camp well, so even if he stays still, his tyrant score is rising.’
But it’s not enough
My goal is 100 million tyrant points. I have only reached 8% of my target score yet.
‘The last time I subjugated the kingdom of Harmel, they gave me a lot of points. Shall we try a war of conquest?’
Fortunately, there were quite a few kingdoms to conquer in this world. There were also other intelligent races such as witches and twins.
As I thought about conquest, the corridor ended and the garden of the imperial palace came out.
The garden was beautiful. Fragrant flowers, fresh trees. And naked beauties were adorned.
