Chapter 227 – But What Now? (5)
It didn’t take long for the soldiers gathered at Armageddon’s territory to flee in panic.
The weapon Cigarette devised, the dragon’s cannon, was a ferocious weapon modeled after a demonic dragon that could not even reach the top of an adult male’s head even if he raised his head all the way. However, when a giant, three or four adult males bigger than the dragon’s cannon, suddenly appeared without any warning, swinging his fists and hitting weapons, and sparks that melted even mountains poured down into the empty air, most of them saw the unreasonable sight unfolding in front of their eyes. Couldn’t accept it as reality.
The brutal screams of the soldiers under the fallen Aryongpo and the smell of blood and dust stinging the nose. And the moment the man they never wanted to meet again appeared proudly in front of them, and only then did they realize that this was neither a dream nor a hallucination, but a cold reality. When the nightmarish army of Undead was awakened by his hand as if directing a musical performance, there was still no soldier brave enough to point a spear at him.
Ragna Armageddon of the Black Army. He is the nightmare of the kingdom of Hermon, and a secretive petty tyrant. The number of people who died due to the Battle of Yeongji that he caused was countless, and among those who saw and heard his evil deeds, there was no human who could face him confidently. A living disaster, a monster that drives death.
The soldiers gathered here were told that Rag or Baron Armageddon was dead or something similar. And they had no choice but to harbor murderous intentions towards their superiors who had spit out such words to themselves and pushed them out onto the battlefield. Rag or Armageddon is not showing up because he is dead or immobile? Then, who the hell is that man in front of us? Who is that man who summons a giant as if to show off and destroys a new weapon in one shot and raises undead soldiers to approach him if he is not Rag or Armageddon?
That figure, that voice, and even the power to handle it. That man was the Ragnar Baron Armageddon that everyone feared.
The monster that they thought was dead was actually just putting their eyes on for a while, and it was as if they had awakened the monster from its sound sleep. While even the commander fled in panic, there was no soldier to maintain morale against the immortal army that walked forward, strewn with maggots, intestines, and rotting flesh.

“Hey~, long time no see. Prince Frederick. No, should I call you Highness Frederick now?”
“Keep, uh…!”
The overwhelming pressure that weighed down his entire body made Frederick, the young king of Hermon Kingdom, unable to breathe properly.
“It’s so funny. You don’t remember who was able to sit in that seat, and you can’t imagine that I’m weak and will soon try to slander my family. It’s like your father doesn’t want to get involved in a pointless dispute, Like I threw it out. After all, can’t blood cheat?”
He was a treasonous criminal who openly showed his hostility towards the king and would not have anything to say if he was immediately executed for rebellion, but no one dared to punish him. Right now, he was the only human in the world with the power of an immortal dragon.
“Don’t you know the reason why you, who are clearly inferior to your older brother in ability, were able to surpass your older brother and become the king of this country? A nameless bloodline? While my older brother was afraid to incur my wrath, the hero who joined hands with you saved the world, so you could have surpassed your brother and become king. However, the fact that you joined hands with the hero was the result of my initiative. I I arranged for you with the hero, and as a result, thanks to that, you are sitting there now, aren’t you?”
“Who, who is there…! Come on, take this one…!”
“The only reason I helped you sit is because you weren’t too clever. Your brother was too smart, and he never thought of doing what I wanted him to do. But hey, Period, ignorant of the subject, was about to attack my estate. Give me strength to the dukes? Did you think I was really dead too? I am Ragna Armageddon. I am Ragna Armageddon of the Black Army, who leads the immortal soldiers and was feared by everyone in this kingdom just a few months ago.”
One step, then another step. Just by his approach, the servants shed painful moans or passed out. And the young king, who was subjected to the monster’s hatred with all his body, clenched his face with a pale face and grabbed his throat, which could not breathe properly.
“If you’re stupid, you shouldn’t have known my subject at least. Didn’t you know that if you had a bad mind and good acting skills, you would only end up destroying yourself?”
Royal Archmage? Commander of the Royal Knights? All to no avail. He was an existence that no one dared to oppose except the hero. He is the one who got 30~40% of the entire Hermon Kingdom in his hands. Although he is officially a baron because he declined the offer to re-promote himself, he is nothing more than another minor king within the Kingdom of Hermon. He said that no one here could put the act of fighting into action. The moment someone fearless pulls a sword out of its scabbard, that person will turn to ground meat in the blink of an eye. Just like the guards who stood in the way of Ragnar Armageddon when he just broke into the palace.
“Who would have thought? Alfred Hermon, the first prince who wanted to gain the throne more than anyone else, admitted his defeat more easily than expected and resigned. To think that he would have his brother imprisoned and purged all the aristocrats who support him. After all, is it true that a seat makes a person?”
Sarcastic about King Frederick’s behavior in a cold and bitter tone, Ragnar Armageddon smiled coldly.
“I’m sure you’re not stupid enough to not understand why I’m angry.”
“I… I will apologize…!”
Body pain and face, first and foremost, life comes first. Frederick apologized with a pale face.
“It was my mistake…! I will never do such a foolish thing again…!”
“What if you apologize belatedly after you’ve already done something? You shouldn’t have apologized in the first place.”
The moment when Ragnar Armageddon’s hand, wrapped in ominous darkness, approached the nape of King Frederick’s neck.
“Stop!!”
Bang! The gate was opened violently, and a group of people entered the audience room.
“Ragna Armageddon!!”
“Haa… Yes. Since I took care of her with my hands, you must have returned to her place soon.”
Ragnar Armageddon let out a sigh of disgust at her, and she turned her head toward the one who summoned her.
“Hey, Luke. Even after going through that, are you still acting like a hero?”
Warrior, Luke.
Having become a puppet of Justia, the goddess of justice, he was freed when Ragna Armageddon defeated Justia, and was able to return to her original world. However, he was shocked by what happened in Atipia and was hiding without officially announcing his return. He urgently gathered his former colleagues and arrived here when he heard that Ragnar Armageddon was leaving the territory and heading to the palace.
“In addition to Viola, Elia, and Gordon. Everyone except for Hochna is gathered?”
A party of warriors who reassembled all except for the elven ranger, Hochna. When those who were the only opponents who faced Rag or Armageddon and who had once held hands appeared like saviors, Prince Frederick looked at them as if he were looking at a savior and urgently asked for help with just his gaze.
“Luke, you already know? You and your allies alone can’t stop me. Especially if it was before, especially now. You know the gap better than anyone else, but are you still going to stop me?”
“Because that’s what I have to do as a warrior.”
“I stood by the sidelines when the Royal Army sent by Prince Frederick and the privates of the Duke of Period tried to rob an empty house in my absence, but now they appear and aim their swords at me, saying what I have to do as a hero? Ha, really…”
Ragna Armageddon sighed and shook his head.
“Ha… I’ve lost interest. You guys are so stupid, I feel like I’m the only one to lose if I keep talking. Yes, you guys want me to disappear at all? As you wish, I’ll just disappear. But, with my people.”
“They are people of this world. What qualifications do you have…!”
Luke raised his holy power and tried to stop him.
“By what qualifications? Well. It’s probably hard to find anyone more qualified than me here.”
Black magic power that was more powerful than his divine power and a strange power whose identity could not be guessed gushed out violently, crushing everyone in the throne room with just that momentum.
“Ugh!”
“Keuuugh..!”
“What, what power…!”
“Kuh… Kwaaaaa!!”
Luke, who overcame the power, threw his three swords fiercely and attacked, but Baron Armageddon grabbed the blade that flew straight towards his heart with his bare hands, took the sword as it was, threw it aside, and thrust his fist into Luke’s stomach. . At the counterattack that flowed naturally like water, Luke collapsed on his knees with a cough, but his comrades were in a situation where it was difficult to even take care of themselves, let alone help him.
Those who were crushed by the mighty energy could not move a single finger, and Ragnar Armageddon passed by Luke, whose body was hardened like a stone statue, and spoke to him.
“One word of advice, Luke. The story of this world has already ended, and your role as the main character in that story has long since ended. That means I no longer have to look at you as a character in your story.”
Leaving behind the threat that he would risk his life if he behaved in front of his eyes one more time, he leisurely left the palace.
On that day, all members of the Duke of Period, the last remaining duchy in Hermon Kingdom, fell ill with an unknown disease and could not survive the next day.
Armageddon territory, where the magic fog was lifted, became a desolate ruin where not a single life could grow.

Damn, looking at Luke’s face made me feel bad. Originally, I was going to finish it after dealing with only King Frederick and the Duke of Period, but I stopped killing King Frederick anyway, thinking that there would be no difference if I changed the top of my head. Instead, secretly using magic to completely kill his sexual function, he made it impossible for him to produce offspring. Frederick will have to pay the price in his later years for taking his side without being able to overcome the pressure of the Duke of Period this time.
The Duke of Period was so annoyed that I got rid of them all, and after that, those who had no intention of going with me quietly let go, and then ripped off the Armageddon estate in pieces. Mr. Nia was quite taken aback that I brought not only people but the whole land, but soon after saying that he would personally compensate Ruminus, the owner of the world, he moved the manor to a place that met the conditions I said. However, if there is one problem…
“So, the world that fits the conditions I said…”
[Justia, this is the world she ruled over.]
“…”
Normally, gods grow their own power by cultivating their own world, but Justia is said to have neglected her world for the reason that it was too cumbersome and took a long time, and increased her strength by harassing other weak gods. It is said that the world completely neglected by God formed its own ecosystem, and the natural world formed without God intervening almost met the conditions I requested. But…
“By the way, hasn’t Justia now been stripped of her godhood? So, who rules this world now?”
Justia has lost her place as a god, so who manages this world that used to be hers? In response to that question, Ms. Nia spread her finger and pointed at me.
[Sure, you.]
“…Yes?”
[Welcome to becoming a new transcendent, junior.]
“…Yes?”
[As a god, there will be a lot of work to do in the future, but it’s okay. I will kindly teach you from one to ten.]
“…Yes?”
…What are you saying I did wrong?
