Build a Human Empire by Creating Clans - Chapter 108
It’s ominous, and you have to get off the throne.
But if the throne is left as it is, what will happen after that?
From noble mtl dot com
Why is Tiamar aiming for the throne?
It was because he coveted the throne’s magical power.
‘We must liberate the soul of the throne and destroy the throne.’
In order for Vlad to become a god, he must free the souls he has bound.
Otherwise, it will only become Tiamar’s food.
‘The method is simple. Just do it like always.’
Just sit down for a while and release the shackles on the throne.
The throne itself is nothing more than a device that binds the soul.
At most, it has a function that amplifies mana.
If you release the soul that provides magical power, it is just a chair.
After that, physically destroy it and that’s it.
Saaa
But the moment I sat on the throne, a change took place.
The spirit freed from its shackles did not wander away from me.
It’s not going away, isn’t it coming closer to me?
“…!”
The spirit has dug into me.
Shouting with joy, it entered me furiously.
———!
—! ———!
————!
Incomprehensible words echoed in my brain.
‘Magic power… overflowing with magical power.’
My soul, which was always empty, was filled with magical energy.
As the soul enters me, so does the magic I possess.
I felt my soul swell with them.
And the fever and dizziness seething inside me.
I raised my hand, cupped my face, and closed my eyes.
“…”
The headache quickly subsided.
I lowered my head and slowly opened my eyes to see a meadow.
He must have sat on the throne and the imperial palace had a marble floor.
Dalgrak
I raised my head at the sound of glass clinking.
The place I was at was the garden, not the imperial palace.
A garden filled with the smell of grass and chirping birds.
I was sitting in front of a table, and at the end of it were three women.
“…”
“…”
“…”
All three of them look the same.
The woman sitting on the left closed her eyes with her eyes closed,
The woman sitting on the right slapped her chin on the table,
Between the two, the woman sitting in front of me tilted her teacup.
“hi.”
Putting down the teacup, the woman in the middle said.
“You know who I am.”
I answered without hesitation.
“Tiamar.”
She smiled lightly.
The other two Tiamars looked at me.
The soul that dwells in Vlad and the soul that dwells in the pendant.
And even the body that the two of them fell off.
I received attention from the three Tiamars.
‘It’s hell.’
evil alliance
This is a garden.
An idyllic garden from the outside.
But if you know the owner of the garden, it’s hell.
There are three evil dragons who tried to destroy the world.
“…”
The three Tiamars stare at me with their mouths shut.
I looked at them slowly, one by one.
‘The right side is a piece of Tiamar’s soul nested in the pendant.’
She was wearing a pendant around her neck.
A pendant that originally hung around my neck, but I don’t have it now.
Tiamar in the pendant looked at me and nodded slightly.
‘The left side is Tiamar’s soul dwelling in the holy relic.’
Sitting in front of Tiamar on the pendant, she yawned.
He rested his cheek on his left fist and looked at me with a sullen expression.
Behind her sat the main fox on a leash.
‘… and Akakosk.’
Akakosque is an evil deity in the form of a fox.
It is also a soul mixed with Tiamar who dwells in the holy relic.
‘And in the middle, my front is Tiamar’s main body.’
Tiamar winked as our eyes met.
Unlike the other two souls, the way he shows affection for me.
I narrowed my eyes at her foreign attitude.
‘Did he take a human form, or did he borrow his body?’
The appearance of the three Tiamars was the same.
Their pupils are black, the same color as their hair.
Unusually, circular pupils rather than vertical ones.
Ears are also round like humans.
‘If they borrowed someone else’s body, there’s no way the three of them would look the same.’
There would be no reason to borrow triplets.
It must be said that they themselves took human form.
‘Tiamar took on a different form.’
I resisted the involuntary snoring.
It was the first time I had seen Tiamar take human form.
The one I saw before was a dragon.
In the first place, they barely talked and just fought each other.
But now she was drinking tea peacefully in front of me.
With an idyllic background and wearing human masks, not alone, but three.
Embarrassingly, there was none.
“You will be surprised too.”
Tiamar in the middle glanced at me and raised the corner of her mouth slightly.
“What are you talking about?”
“Literally. It’s the first time I’ve seen you surprised.”
You see it for the first time?
She must have seen me for the first time, she said as if she had seen me before.
“…”
Suddenly, I saw Tiamar sitting on the right.
‘The holy relic that dwells in Vlad told me. He knew me through the girl in the pendant.’
The main body saw me through its alter ego.
When I realized the answer, Tiamar smiled.
“In the seal, all I can do is watch. The souls who have fallen away from me come into contact with what they see and hear like a dream. I have been watching since my father handed me to you.”
“Did you just watch?”
“Because there was nothing I could do but watch.”
Tiamar shrugged.
“Originally, souls cannot interfere with each other. Except for me, I can’t even convey my thoughts if I’m far away. If that was possible, would I be doing this?”
I guess so.
If I could command other souls, would it be the same as now?
Tiamar in the pendant should have been united with the main body right away.
“Then what is the situation now? You said you could do nothing but look, but didn’t you call me and the other two souls?”
“That’s why I said ‘original’.”
Tiamar smiled and raised an eyebrow.
“Thanks to you.”
Is it because of me?
“Don’t you know? How you affected the world by accepting the soul of the throne. ‘Cause you’re still in a dream Because of the chaos you caused, the chains that held me down are gone.”
chain.
It refers to the seal of Tiamar.
To think that I broke the seal without even knowing it.
I laughed out loud because it was absurd.
“With so many souls moved, you think nothing will happen?”
I lowered my gaze and looked at my body.
A faint light was emanating from the whole body,
I knew that the light was the magic flowing from the soul.
‘The magic power is leaking out.’
I tried to suppress the leaking magic power, but it was useless.
It’s because I have too much magical power.
To the extent that I can’t hide it even if I suppress it.
“So many souls that I covet. You ate it alone.”
“Tell me exactly. how I became.”
“Your spirit has grown. To contain the soul of the throne.”
Tiamar picked up the teapot and teacup.
“Look, look. Suppose tea is mana, and a teacup is the limit of how much mana can be stored. What if you pour more tea into a glass than it will fill?”
“It will overflow.”
“that’s right. Normally you would think so. If you receive magic power larger than a bowl, the magic power will overflow like water overflows. But the reality is different.”
Tiamar tipped the kettle and filled the cup.
The moment the cup is full and the tea is about to overflow,
Kwajik!
He grabbed the glass and broke it.
“This is the reality. If you receive mana that exceeds the limit, you will not be able to pour it out and it will break like a teacup. Vlad, this is the reason why that idiot could not use the throne even after making it to become a god.”
That’s why I tried to destroy the throne without using it.
If I don’t, I will collapse and die because of greed.
Even if I became a divine being, it is too much power.
Instead of taking a useless gamble, I wanted to break it safely.
“On the other hand, what about you? So many souls have flooded you, but instead of breaking like a teacup here, you have increased your limits. I have accepted all souls.”
That’s the magic that runs wild inside of me right now.
The magical power possessed by the souls bound by the throne.
The magic that is now wholly mine.
“This is in your dream. I ate too much, so I took a break to digest. We are just visiting in your dreams.”
“Why did you visit?”
“You know?”
I didn’t answer.
Even though I knew the answer, I didn’t have to answer.
Tiamar smiled broadly at my reaction and reached out his hand.
“Come with me. He is from far away.”
At the words “From far away”, I met her eyes.
You said you were looking at me through the pendant.
“Don’t pretend you don’t know. i know everything I told you I’ve been watching you ever since you got me from your father. I’ve seen everything you’ve seen in this world. The act of making a human but non-human being called a member of the household, revealing a secret that no one in this world should know, and that this world is not inherently real to you.”
She hit the table with a bang and leaned forward.
He opened his eyes wide at me and let out a voice full of excitement.
“I’m sure you’re not talking nonsense because you’re crazy. is not it? Would you say that all of this is coincidence with your imagination?”
“no. It is as you saw it.”
“right? Am I right?”
Tiamar shook her shoulders.
Seeing her getting wet with pleasure, I gently bit her body.
Was she originally like this?
I recalled the past while digging through my memory.
I’ve dealt with her many times, but this was the first time.
‘It’s not me who’s crazy, it’s this guy.’
I swallowed the words that rose to the bottom of my throat.
“What exactly do you mean by being together? Do you want an alliance, or do you want me to submit to you?”
“I used to rule dragons, but I don’t leave anyone equal.”
“It’s a subjugation.”
“I have no intention of entangling you to the extent of calling it subjugation. just bind your soul to me All I have to do is take small steps so that you don’t run away and betray me.”
Is mortgaging your soul a small step?
I laughed and shook my head in embarrassment.
“Why should I? Do you think I have so much to gain that I should give you my soul?”
She stood up and put her hand on Tiamar’s shoulder, who was sitting to her left. Tiamar, nestled in the relic, looked at her with a frown.
“He said he would give you Mycenae, right? honestly what does that mean It was a ploy that I came up with stupidly hoping that you and the representative system would be destroyed together.”
The main body grabbed the clone’s shoulder and shook it.
The sacred object, Tiamar, shook off the main body’s hand and glared at her.
It feels like three heads fighting each other with different selves.
“I’m different. I will acknowledge your territory. You also have other places bordering on your territory. Oroko Great Plain, Nehrup Plain, Lizardman or Naga is good too. The world is wide, but can you give me that much?”
She came up behind me and hugged me and whispered.
“I will put the power that Vlad enjoyed, and all the beings that will come under me in the future, under you. Let only me be above you.”
A hand caressed my cheek and slowly moved down.
“Why are you offering me this?”
“Because I have seen you. I want to know more.”
I shook her hand.
She pretended to be hurt and withdrew.
“I tried to look like you’d like it, but it’s too much.”
“Don’t do anything you don’t mean to.”
“I am sincere.”
“My soul is mine alone.”
“…”
“What you promised me is only what I don’t need. Even if I guarantee my territory and mankind’s right to live, who will acknowledge that guarantee?”
The power that Vlad enjoys?
Black magic, no such thing is enough.
Surely it would be convenient if I could command the undead.
But the price of convenience is my soul?
To become a slave as a condition of obtaining a slave?
nonsense.
“I’d rather have Tiamar’s suggestion over there.”
Relic Tiamar has a plan to attack me, but at least she has suggested what I need.
I provided support for everything from manpower, materials, and land, and even placed administrative subordinates in the central government to actually receive my rule. The body’s mere guarantee, it is better to receive a guarantee than a guarantee with a greater loss.
“I’m serious? No matter what he promises you, a word from me is nothing. An alter ego is just an alter ego.”
“Try it.”
“what?”
“Give orders to your clones. to enmity with me Then the representative will be very pleased. Because monkeys and lizards, who aren’t the same, chose to die together.”
Since the Great Emperor does not know that Tiamar is waking up, can’t you think that far? I smiled, raising only one corner of my mouth.
Tiamar frowned.
He wanted to say something, but he mumbled.
“Is it my soul or the downfall of the representative system? You cannot have both. At the current level, you only have to choose one. What should I do?”
The answer was fixed.
“···good. I can’t help it now.”
Afterwards, Tiamar let out a sigh.
“But alliance, will you accept holding hands?”
I shook my head.
An alliance with a monster that almost destroyed the world.
The goal of the alliance was also the destruction of the existing order.
It was a truly wicked alliance.
###
“Edar?”
I opened my eyes.
I saw Calliope’s face.
An expression of concern on an expressionless face.
“Are you okay?”
Involuntarily, he put his hand on his forehead and lowered it.
I thought I would have a headache as usual, but it was fine.
“How much time has passed?”
“Wait a minute. Just a little while.”
just a little while
I looked through the window on the side wall.
The sunset was almost setting just before I sat on the throne.
Now, after the sunset has completely set and darkness has settled.
And Lord’s dove sitting on the window sill was gone.
‘I was just watching.’
I couldn’t understand his intentions, so I tilted my head, and I heard a scream.
“What’s going on?”
“Monsters are out of control and rampaging.”
“A monster?”
Calliope gestured instead of answering her gaze asking for more explanation.
The guards brought Kiryan and knelt in front of me.
“Ugh, ugh!”
When Kiryan saw me, his eyes widened and his teeth gnashed.
“How did this happen?”
The guy had become an elf.
From noble mtl dot com
Originally an elf, he turned into a vampire.
But now you come back and become an elf again? why?
“I do not know. As soon as Edar-sama’s magic touched it, it went away.”
“When I accepted the soul of the throne, I mean.”
“yes.”
The pale skin turned red and the fangs became blunt.
Externally, the element that could guess a vampire has disappeared.
Although it was possible to hide such elements if they were blood relatives.
I had Vlad’s ring, so I couldn’t hide it.
‘ring.’
Suddenly, I checked the ring.
A ring that contained Vlad’s soul.
