Chapter 293
Side Story 26
It was the strangest, most ridiculous game of tag in the world.
The man who called himself the Emperor of the Empire was fleeing, abandoning his capital. To escape from one man alone.
“Your Majesty! Count Kylo has surrendered to that man and opened the way for him!”
“What?! That bastard dared to…”
“That’s not all! The lords of the imperial territories bordering the revolutionary forces are surrendering one after another…”
“How dare these traitorous bastards!”
The endless stream of defeatist reports, let alone the news that the Emperor himself had abandoned the capital and fled, offered little hope. From the start, the revolution’s overthrow of the Emperor was merely a matter of time.
However, it was not the revolutionary army that ultimately threatened Emperor Wilhelm of the Ninth Empire and brought down the empire.
Rather, they too stood in the way of men, just like the empire, and paid a bitter price.
Nothing held meaning before the man.
The god of meaninglessness advanced, reducing everything that stood in his path to nothingness.
To those who stood in his way, he offered pain so excruciating that even death felt merciful, and forgiveness only if they knelt and offered handfuls of dust.
The fortress of destruction that even the revolutionary army could not conquer, and the imperial capital itself, fell to the hands of a single man. Furthermore, the tale of the loathsome colossus he erected by devouring the fortress and mountains of corpses spread across the entire continent.
