Teaming Up With System 225

Shadow Guard (11)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Grey was standing in System 225's System Space and couldn't hear anything around him. He felt this overwhelming grief after he had died such an annoying death that could have been avoided.

He probably failed the mission so he would have to do a similar ranking world, but what about God System? Wouldn't his husband just keep going while he was stuck in the same place?

[Grey, I know how you are feeling right now, but it isn't over just yet.]

Grey quickly snapped out of it before looking over at System 225. Behind System 225 were Arisa and System 505 who were looking over at him worried.

"System, what do you mean?"

[Let me pull up the screen that I usually look at when you are in a world. We can see the events unfold after your death too. As long as Prince Cecil becomes the Emperor, regardless of your death, you can complete the mission. Only then can we determine if you truly failed or not. You haven't died before seeing the mission get complete, so it's not something you would know I can do.]

"I didn't know you had this function. Please pull it up then!"

System 225 nodded before taking out a big screen for everyone to watch.

Prince Cecil held on to Number 18's cold body, unable to hear or process anything around him.

The only thing he could hear was Number 18's last words. 18 wanted him to be Emperor. To become the Emperor. Well, he also said to save the Empire, but he mostly heard that 18 wanted him to become the Emperor. Was it because he wanted to stay by his side? Regardless of 18's reason, he decided that he was going to be the Emperor. If 18 wanted him to take over the whole world, he would. He would give everything to 18 even if it meant that his life would have to pay the price.

He looked up at the audience who were shell-shocked at the events that happened in less than 5 minutes.

"Guards, lock down the Palace and the capital," Prince Cecil, whose eyes were red from anger and grief, commanded, "No one gets to leave until we find every single intruder and spy from the Liyas Empire!"

Meanwhile, Number 1, who had witnessed the death of his only family member, released his Aura in rage before lunging over at the men who killed his little brother. He mercilessly stabbed each of the men six times in the chest to show how many arrows they used to kill 18 before cutting their heads off. Even after all that, he couldn't contain his anger, so he kicked Prince Levi a couple of times before going to find the others to kill.

Emperor Emeron, who quickly snapped out of his stunned state, unsheathed the sword he kept by his side and looked down at the fake Prince Levi. "Guards, take this body and stuff him in a box. Once we cleanse our Uferna Empire, we will be sending this box to the Liyas Empire!"

The knights and soldiers around him cheered at his call. They were more determined to get rid of the Liyas Empire from their home when they had both the Emperor and the Knight Commander on their side!

Afterward, the Emperor joined Prince Cecil as well as Hero Blaine and found all the intruders. Emperor Emeron was once the Commander of the battlefield when he was pulling the Empire out of the dirt. Though it's been a while since he had battled, he still did his training, making him a force to be reckoned with.

After this incident, historians would call the start of this movement, the Cleansing. Throughout the continent, anyone who was from the Liyas Empire was killed and shipped to their motherland. Battle after battle, it took the father-son duo a year to flush the continent of the "invaders."
