Twin Reincarnation: Epics Of The Worldline-Chapter 364 The declaration

[Rex’s POV: ]

In the grand personal chambers of the emperor where half of the most heinous crimes of the empire take place, I sat facing the absolute— the monster that once loved my mother.

"So, you joined hands with those people?"

"That seems to be the case my lord."

This whole thing of calling him the lord was not something necessary anymore but there was also no other comfortable way to address him.

He was a bastard that I hated alredy and now that he knew that I was acquainted with a force he cannot do anything about, there was little that he could do to me.

"I know the answer... however, I will ask it anyway-."

"I plan to kill you, certainly. Please let us not waste words on unnecessary things."

He must have first considered the possibility that I was acting as a double agent, but after a little more contemplation, he knew that was not the case.

I was truely on thier side and there was nothing he could do about that.

Killing me here was pointless since I was practically just a pawn in THEIR game.

I played no great role in this game, there was little he could gain by killing me in this place.

On the contrary, keeping me alive and listening to everything I was here to share could give him more understanding of the true opponents he was facing.

"I see. So it is like that."

It wss no surprise to him that someone as close to him— not close in terms of relationship but in terms of blood connection— could betray him like that.

Almost all his children were after his throat.

Over half the people working for him wanted to kill him themslevs, especially those who knew what he actually did, the kind of things he did to keep his position safe, wanted nothing more than a brutal deat of this person.

"Alright then. Please proceed."

As he had alredy figured out, the two that were the rising stars in the academy were the true masterminds behind everything.

’He had alredy heard from me that they were someone that had lived more than their age, which meant they were either Reincarnations that had lived a completely different life in a completely different world; or Regressors who had seen the future for this world and everything that had happened in that timeline; or Transmigrators who had come from some other realm; or perhaps they were Enemies of destiny— a kind that was feared the most by Absolutes like him.’

He did not know what they were exactly and he could tell I did not know anything about it either so there was no need to dwell deeper into that topic.

There was only one thing tghat he had to consider here... they were people that had lived much longer than their ages so he Must not underestimate them.

There was a possibility that they had lived much longer than even himself and possessed wisdom of eternal ages.

For all he should care, they might just be gods of other world that had somehow been reduced to mere children in this world.

’But, at the same time, they were no ordinary children.’

He must have alredy received news that someone in the academy right now possessed the tiles of masters.

He should also know a lot about them and their past, so there should not be much doubt in his mind about their capabilities.

’They were masters at such an young age, they controlled forces like those thieves, and now— they also possessed the power of that entire fortress legitimately.’

And that wasnt even the end of their forces.

"A long time has passed since That day, so they aren’t limited to what they had at that time. That much you must have figured out alredy."

Looking at him straight in his eyes with a serious expression... We started the conversation that I was here for.

"Their will is simple... your end."

There was a kind of anger in my eyes that neither he nor the sword saint beside him had ever seen from a prince or princess.

There was darkness in my eyes, I could tell they could see a kind of hate one could only show for a demon that loathed to no end.

His surprised expression was enough to show just how undexpected thsi was for him.

He was a kind of bastard that had always pressured his children.

There were a lot of offsprings that he had, and all of them were just like toys and subjects to him.

He did noty care much about them and those he cared about, he used until they were of use to him.

"The empire will be happy to have you gone as well, so it is best that you erase any hope of ’friendship’ with them."

His death was the only things that this empire needed.

There was not much wrong with this empire or this continent, but his mere existence was a curse to this world that was needed to be dealt with.

If we could achive that, then We will fulfill all that we wanted.

They will have all that they want and I will have nothing more that I want...

"My end and not just death, hun? They sure know what they want."

He was smiling.

Thyat bastard was smiling right now...!

He knew what I was talking about but there wws smile of redicule on his face.

He knew what was being discussed here and still... he was smilng!

"Haha, alright then. They can try whatever they want."

He didnt really care about the people tghat were under him or about the rest of the as long as he himself was surviving to rule this land in the future.

He was a bastard!

’In the past, there have been time where he used the powers of Worldline system bestowed ion him to not only change the entire structure of this continent, he had alredy recreated the world to his liking.

He possessed a kind of authority in this world that was one of a kind.

He was a tyrant that the world did not need and there was also no need for him to stay in this world any longer either.

"Of course, however, this is the message they wanted me to deliver."

They had alredy foreseen most of the things that he might try and they had made countermeasures against them.

And these countermeasures... they had complied them all into the certain memory crystal that I just took out and placed on the table before us.

-Ooooooong!

"If you want to try and ask help from the Higher beings (Spectators) remember that they will favor them over someone that does not even possess a Divine Law (Epic).

If you wish to use the Authority of Change (Wish ticket) then you should know that they are also Planet masters(<Lord> rank authority holders) and, if you wish to negotiate with them using some absurd terms, remember they do actually wish for your death more than I do."

A holographic video showing the current forces only present in the sky fortress under them was playing as I recited what they wanted me to deliver.

"I do not know the reason, but they wish for a war instead of some wrongly decorated play."

There was no way for him to run away either since according to the video that was being played, the two of them possessed the power to search through this entire plant and see things like those of the higher beings.

’They said he would understand this better than I do with my limited understanding of their slanderers, and from the grim expression that he had— the subtle yet visible soothing expression of fear that I had longed to see on him, he must be experiencing what They wanted him to see.’

Well, they were amazing people and they knew what they were doing by sending the proof of their forces to the enemy.

"Lord Sword saint, please announce my declaration of war against the Emperor. Not the empire, but the Emperor. Keep that in mind."

My work was done here.

From here on out, it was time for war and bloodshed.

"You can prepare all the forces you want, ask help from anyone you wish, and do whatever you want... but, My Lord, please get ready to say goodbye to that life you cherish so much."

Taking the memory crystal back, I stood up and started walking out of the room... but of course, it was not going to be so easy.

-Oooooooooooooong...!

-Swiiiiiiiiiiish!

A dagger first came flying out of nowhere and, when I noticed and tried dodging it, a shadow jumped out from some shadow.

-Clank!

"Wanting to harm me is of no use... after all, I do actually mean something to Them."

A barrier was protecting me, and in addition to this barrier... I had protection of Lord Cary.

-Ooooooooooooooooooong!

"Unlike you who seek protection of the divinities, they are Masters of Divinities."

The best assassin of the empire just under the level of the six closest aides of the emperor was stuck by a dark claw that materialised out of thin air.

And, there was no way to block a divine skill.

"They want to make this war a spectacle."

Looking back at him for the last time, standing on the edge of the room, I gave my last ’advice’ to the dearest man I loath to no end.

"Make sure you do your best to fight back."

He might be an absolute but he was going to go against Absolute power.

There was no force in this world that would save his life...

’Even if he convicted gods and obtained protection of angels, this was not going to be of any help to him.’

He was going to die on that battlefield.

It was alredy decided.
