Chapter 536 – [Blood Debut Ceremony]

It may sound out of the blue, but my power is the power to instantly kill a creature inferior to me.

As he killed a lot of people and developed his special skill of killing people, he naturally became empowered. In fact, when it comes to killing people, I have an advantage over Master.

Anyway, to me, people in power, such as the emperor or the president, who are the pinnacle of society, do not have much meaning. In the end, the existence that only wielded the power of the majority was just something that could be easily destroyed to me, who could directly kill society.

That’s why I’m not obsessed with power. If I have to do it, even if I can rule it like a Mars civilization, I can barely maintain it by myself.

Oh, food culture is an exception.

“Do you think I’ll want the emperor’s seat now?”

“You mean you don’t want a place on this continent where you can’t do anything?”

“Ordinary people would covet it. Power is sweet. But if you know something more valuable than power, you’ll find that the position of emperor is useless.”

“I don’t understand. The emperor’s position must be more valuable than anything else.”

If he had become an emperor, he wouldn’t have been so rude, but his eyes were truly incomprehensible.

No, it was most likely because of his self-fantasy. I’ll have to listen to the details, but…

“Then do you think the life of an aristocratic son who was assassinated and died young at the age of 10 is the same as that of a commoner who died of old age after giving birth to three children without achieving anything of social value?”

“That……”

“I finished talking at the point where I couldn’t come up with a definite answer. At least you know that there is a difference in your subconscious mind.”

What I want to say is whether the value of life is determined by a social position like an emperor.

What you end up with is what matters. Social position may help, but it’s not absolute or the greatest.

“Anyway, don’t think of conciliating me by saying that you will hand down the emperor. I may be able to do something helpful to the empire based on my own standards, but don’t expect more than that.”

“I get it”

“And there are two candidates for emperor, are you saying this knowing that if you hand it over to me, the empire will split?”

“It’s easy to prevent a civil war. All you have to do is bring the factions together and suppress the opposing faction.”

“I have the ability at the point of saying it’s easy…”

He has abilities, but no humanity. People make mistakes and worry, but he doesn’t have that.

In the end, it’s just about finding a reasonable way and implementing it. The reason why he recommended me to become the emperor was because the future empire would be more prosperous if I inherited the throne.

“Let me ask you something. Are you a daydreamer?”

“Yes”

“What is the name of your fantasy?”

“……【Perfect Emperor】”

“It’s obvious if you don’t look at it”

As soon as I heard the name of the self-fantasy, I naturally thought why he became such a person.

What did he think when he became emperor while killing his five brothers? Regret? Achievement? Whatever it was, if he had ascended to the throne, he would have made up his mind to become an eminent emperor.

And he became the perfect emperor through his self-fantasy.

However, the emperor was always calculating and mechanical.

“You weren’t originally meant to be emperor.”

“………”

Silence is the answer It was no different from what he silently affirmed to me.

Talent, on the one hand, is a human characteristic and individuality. If you’re trying to bloom a talent that doesn’t suit you, you need something at the level of changing your personality.

For example, I don’t have the talent for writing my brain. Even if he became a transcendental person, he was only at the level of being a transcendental genius, let alone transcendental computing power.

In order for me to develop my talent for using my brain, I must first become interested in studying and have a mindset that uses my brain rather than my body. To be honest, it’s similar to the level of being someone else instead of me.

To put it in plain language… Do you think SpongeBob is SpongeBob, who forgot everything except the waiter’s job and breathing? I can’t even remember his name, but he’s the same, but he’s a different person.

Oh, I think I’ve heard this analogy before.

“I became emperor thanks to self-fantasy, but I lost my humanity. Fortunately, I didn’t throw it away, but kept it sealed.”

“That’s not something an 8-year-old would say.”

“He’s still 7 years old. You should know the age of your child.”

Upon learning the circumstances, what I feel for the emperor is compassion rather than hostility. It is difficult to forgive what he did, but at least his attitude of not being aware of what he has done makes me feel compassion.

However, the emperor is suppressing his humanity through his self-fantasy and gaining the necessary talents as an emperor.

If you release the self-fantasy, you will regain your old personality and feelings again. He will lose his talent again due to the reaction, but…

“Since I ascended the throne, I have never once fantasized about myself.”

“Are you an asshole?”

“That is my responsibility and duty.”

“As far as I can see…”

His humanity lies below the unconscious. The proof is thathehesitated earlier when I asked him about social values ​​and the values ​​of life.

However, the fact that he does not dispel his fantasies means that he is rejecting them unconsciously.

It’s pretty obvious what a man who killed all his brothers and became emperor would think. Murder itself is an act of degrading one’s humanity before becoming blood.

“It seems like they’re just running away in the name of responsibility and duty.”

“……..”

“Well, that’s okay. It’s not my business to interfere.”

What we need to discuss here is the treatment of me in the future.

One of the Ten Continental Rivers was destroyed and a new Ten Continental River…… Since we do not know what will happen to Duke Magnus, the difference between the Ten Continental River and the Eleventh Continental River remains.

“But honestly, isn’t that fucking weak?

“Duke Magnus was also called the Continental Ten River because he defeated the previous Continental Ten River.

“I don’t care about compatibility with overwhelming strength. Well, well… It’s not something I can’t understand.”

The specifications of Duke Magnus itself were outstanding. Because the self-fantasy of 【The Empire’s Strongest Knight】 wasn’t in vain.

However, it is not all that his specifications are excellent. Just like how Jotaro’s Star Platinum has few opponents in the melee power type stand world, there was an opponent who struggled nonetheless.

If you are a Continental Ten River with an environment-type self-fantasy, the main body of the fancier will be weak, so you just need to crush the main body. It’s not even unconvincing when you think about it.

“It’s a little annoying to see nobles flocking to you. It would be perfect if I lived quietly for the past year or so.”

“Do you want that?”

“From now on, I promise to minimize interference, provide convenience, and then cooperate with the Empire in a limited way.”

“I need to coordinate the limited part.”

“I’m telling you in advance, if I’m thinking about unification war or something like that, I’ll go into exile?”

“I’ll keep it in mind”

Although he lost his humanity and gained the emperor’s talent, he is firm against gains and losses and knows what efficiency is.

Even if I speak short and be rude, this side is the best, so I don’t tackle them, and I try to figure out what I allow and adjust it. I like that one thing, but… This is something you can do even if you have humanity.

Isn’t it true that you don’t know anything other than the emperor’s work and breathing.

“I’m asking in case you don’t know, do you remember your name?”

“Only Leonhard… Ah, it’s rare to have someone called lately.”

“That’s all right”

I thought I was going crazy looking for a name again!

*        *    *

After returning from the Emerald Palace, my first task is self-study.

At least until the attitude of the aristocrats calms down, outside activities are refrained. Even if I wander around my palace, representatives of nobles come to visit me, so what about going out?

“Your Highness has received hundreds of party invitations.”

“Fucking aristocrats have rotten money left over? It’s obvious that they’re trying to invite me to a party at this time, isn’t it a complete waste of money?”

“Well, I can’t help it. Then will you refuse?”

“Is there anything from an acquaintance?”

“Hmm… First of all, there is an invitation to Lady Bistra’s tea party.”

“It should go”

I like the wife of Jo Kang~, no, in this case, my wife of Jo Kang is none other than Shion, but I had no intention of rejecting the invitation of Lady Bistra, whom I had been close to even when she was only a prince by name.

However, one question that arises is why she is the Lady of Beastra. Knowing her personality well, I thought that there must be a reason for inviting me to this situation.

“And there is a party invitation from Her Highness the Crown Prince.”

“Ah, that should go too”

“I will reply to both of them.”

“Please”

After all, time is the answer. As time passes, their enthusiasm will decrease, and then you can move slowly.

If you move while your eyes are focused, it will only bother you again. Besides, since I only have one body, I can’t respond to all of those wishes.

I’m going to be mad, I can’t use clone magic! In the first place, things like phantasmagoric shinjutsu from Naruto are actually filthy difficult to use!

Anyway, once I responded to the visit of the elder sister of the 1st princess, and attended the party of the older brother of the prince, it would be roughly balanced. 2nd prince? Nothing to see

“Is there any good news? Good news. It’s a little bit sad because I keep hearing this kind of news.”

“First of all, Third Royale’s sales jumped up.”

“The kids are going to have a hard time. First of all, let’s send some guys who learned some basic skills from the Emerald Palace.”

The slower the mental maturity of human beings living in this era, the greater the closed nature of technical jobs. There is a strong sense that not only cooks, but blacksmiths and doctors should learn jobs by stealing over their shoulders rather than kindly teaching them.

Even this place, the imperial palace, was like that. No, in a way, it tends to be like that because he entered the palace with higher skills.

But in my palace there is no such thing. Rather, the cooks were competing in good faith, practicing with leftover ingredients, sharing opinions, and saving time even while sleeping at night.

Only those who have experienced it know how blessed this environment itself is in this era and in this civilization.

“How can I say it, it feels like the first king of a kingdom. An innovative reform method that doesn’t fit the times…”

“Come to think of it, I want to go there as well.”

“Do you think you will be able to travel freely to countries other than the Empire when you have the armed forces of the Ten Continents?”

“Oh right!”

“It’s probably hard to visit for diplomatic activities other than entering the academy.”

“Come to think of it, there was an academy too.”

I heard that Leticia graduated there at the top of the general department, but at most the details are that one of the continental ten rivers is running it.

That is also the case with the Dragon, the Continental Ten.

Personally, I am interested in the academy. Even if you can’t use your brain, it doesn’t mean you don’t have a thirst for knowledge. If not, I would not have read the thesis at Delta Castle for expensive money.

And since this is a place to explore and learn knowledge in earnest, there will be a lot of imagination, self-fantasy, and continental history and other knowledge, so I want to see it. Should I apply for admission later?

“But if it’s an academy, isn’t there a limit to admission? If people flock from all over the continent, the numbers won’t be a joke, would it be okay?”

“We receive a student once a year, but there is rarely a shortage of seats. The academy is actually treated as a state by the end of the academy.”

“……?”

“The place called the Academy is a fairly large island called the [Dragon Paradise], The president’s own fantasy. It is like a small country where tens of thousands of Aboriginal students, as well as other staff to support their lives and their families, stay. It’s a place. It’s self-sufficient, so its dependence on imports is low, so it’s far from the national situation.”

“What is that?”

First of all, there is only one limit to human self-fantasy. Oh, I just liked the pun.

In short, it means that even if a human being’s 100-year lifetime can crystallize that purpose, there is only one thing.

However, the heterogeneous species that live hundreds or thousands of years are an exception. In fact, thanks to that, there are cases where you can’t make one self-fantasy because you’re relaxed, but on the contrary, there are cases where you can make more than one because the lifespan is long.

It is said that dragons can create up to 3 self-images… If one of them is an island, it is limited to that side, and it becomes an area beyond the 10th circle dragon magic dragon.

“What kind of person is the dean? No, what kind of dragon is he?”

“Hmmm… Although he is a dragon, he can be said to be quite an eccentric because he interferes with continental history. In reality, his personality is strangely eccentric. ..”

Ah, since there is no magic, does Polymorph have to change as he fantasies about himself? That’s a bit unfortunate

If the 10th circle dragon is omnipotent, is the dreamer dragon specialized? There are differences, but I can’t say which one is better.

“Anyway, Dean Rurikies is an amazing person in many ways.”

“…….Who?”

“Are you talking about Dean Rurikies?”

“No, fucking dragon country Ruri is here?!?!?”

Winning the dimension where Ruri is located 2 times in a row!!! I need to buy a lottery ticket!!!!
