Chapter 835 – Mythology Academy
In the first place, superpower was a power based on the power of the soul. Therefore, only the body changed, but the ancestor’s supernatural power was still strong, so he led the remaining gasols and not only defeated all the rebels, but also succeeded in destroying all the enemy families that reached out to them.
This is a situation where the enemy family has even provided justification. The head of the family gave a justification for war because he interfered with the succession rights within the family, and he caused a huge incident that led to the invasion and extinction of a nearby influential family.
The ancestral family became hegemony in the northern part of the continent. Based on that incident, the name of the ancestral family was raised in the eastern continent, and at the same time, the notoriety of being a very dangerous family also increased.
In this way, our ancestors carried out atrocities by exterminating surrounding families and offering them as sacrifices, and when supernatural powers appeared among their clans with only pores remaining, they were secretly captured and offered as sacrifices. King Seonjo succeeded in making himself and his family stronger little by suppressing any internal rebellions that might arise in advance and even implementing a plan to kill two birds with one stone by increasing his personal power.
In the meantime, the head of the family steadily trained 10 useful blood relatives in the name of ‘tradition’ and then forced them to compete. Then, when the body weakens, the victor’s body is stolen, and the defeated successor repeats the terrible act of sacrificing to the crystal.
In normal circumstances, the rise and fall of the family would occur due to internal and external problems, but in a situation where the family head was virtually the same, the head of the family was possessed by the crystal and worked like a madman, persistently seeking power, so the ancestral family did not decline rather than decline. As time passed, it seemed to become stronger.
After dozens of generations, Seonjo’s family eventually succeeded in unifying the eastern continent, and Seonjo eventually succeeded in ascending to the throne as the first great superpower emperor.
“Wait… So… Your ancestor is the legendary Flame Emperor!?”
“Yes, sadly so.”
Dean Gerhardt and Anilla, as well as Seongil, appear shocked upon hearing Walter’s confession. As the three people remain silent in shock, Walter silently takes another sip of the anesthetic potion and continues his explanation.
“Ancestor… No, it is said that the Flame Emperor felt emptiness and a boiling desire at that time.”
The Flame Emperor no longer had any rivals on the Eastern Continent. Even though he unified the continent, he still felt that his desire did not subside.
And as if she had been waiting, Sujeong, who had been gorging on her ancestors’ sacrifices for the past several centuries without making any special requests, whispers to the emperor for the first time in a very long time.
“… Sujeong whispered to the Flame Emperor. Why not conquer the western continent, which no one had attempted before? He whispered to him to become the emperor of both continents, something no one had succeeded in doing in history.”
Such a sweet offer. It would have been a proposal he would have never dared to imagine under normal circumstances, but the Flame Emperor was full of confidence as he had unified the continent and had absolute power. Therefore, he thinks that Sujeong’s opinion is surprisingly worth doing.
“… With that in mind, Emperor Yan secretly enlisted his trustworthy subjects to attempt covert propaganda on the Eastern Continent.”
In order to create a justification for invading the western continent, the Flame Emperor creates a secret organization and begins to plant superpower supremacy in the eastern continent.
In fact, since the majority of nobles had supernatural powers, the propaganda was able to establish itself without much difficulty. The Flame Emperor, who easily planted chauvinism in the minds of his subjects, began to secretly spread his hatred of magic and baseness throughout society.
“… So naturally, the Flame Emperor succeeded in making the Western Magic Continent ‘inferior’ and ‘must be subdued’ in the minds of his subjects.”
“This is crazy…”
When Seong-il hears Walter’s story, he finally realizes why the Battle of Enma occurred and is thrilled.
“Yes, that’s right. That’s how destruction came to our world.”
The Flame Emperor quickly draws up the power of the continent and begins preparations to invade the unknown western continent. At this point, he even thought about putting impure molecules at the forefront and grinding them down, without even thinking that his plan would fail.
“Why? Because he had crystals.”
“…”
The Flame Emperor completed his preparations for war in such a short period of time. He leads all the superpowers on the eastern continent and begins an expedition to the west.
The western continent was blocked by a rough and huge strait, making expeditions impossible. Therefore, Emperor Yan decided to first occupy the small continent of Askalia, located in the center of the Great Sea, and make it his base, and invaded it.
Askalia was weaker than the civilizations of the eastern and western continents. However, because they accepted both magic and supernatural civilizations without discrimination, and despite their small size, they dominated the continent at an early age, they were surprisingly a civilization with quite powerful capabilities.
Therefore, the Flame Emperor believes that it will not be easy to subdue Askalia and tries to attack her as delicately as possible. However, an incident occurs that both pleases and dismays the Flame Emperor’s army.
The army of Askalia, which was clearly known as a small and strong country, was unable to properly resist and began to weakly fall to the Flame Emperor’s army.
The Flame Emperor, who was able to easily take control of the base continent, was very happy about the situation. However, the joy is short-lived. The Flame Emperor and his army realize why their army can easily destroy the army of the Kingdom of Askalia.
“… That’s him.”
“Really…?”
Surprisingly, when Anila Rochtein appears to understand the situation, her Seong-il looks at Dean Anila, unable to understand her sudden attitude.
“I don’t know about Seongilgun, but… If there was a Flame Emperor in the Early Flame Empire during the same period, there was a Demon Emperor in the Demon Empire.”
‘… No way?’
When Seong-il listens to Dean Anila’s story, he feels a strange feeling pass through his head.
“At first, the ancestors did not regard the Demon Emperor as the same. That was because he was chosen by a mysterious crystal that had come down from ancient times.”
However, the war goes completely differently than the confident ancestors expected. Because the emperor of the Magic Empire who came from the western continent and his forces were also formidable.
In particular, the Flame Emperor realizes that, unlike what was previously known, the Magic Empire had overwhelming and more advanced magic power than before, and that behind it was a great family that unified the western continent in centuries.
“… It is said that from then on, Emperor Yan also felt something a little strange.”
However, the sword has already been drawn. Since the war was planned without considering an exit strategy from the beginning, the two powers suffered enormous damage and fell into an endless war.
A situation where the main force of the Flame Emperor and the blood relatives of the family that he had been so proud of were dying countless times. Unfortunately or fortunately, the other side died as well, so the two empires continued to hate and kill each other endlessly.
“How fierce the war was…”
“I know. Most of the continent of Askalia was submerged in water.”
Dean Gerhard looks at the floor of the island he is standing on with a bitter expression. He knew that the place where he was standing now was only a very small island, but in the past it was a huge continent with a dazzling civilization.
“The war was endless. No, it could not be ended. The hatred had become too deep, and the propaganda that Emperor Yang had spread was driving people crazy.”
As if they were not tired, the two continents have been engaged in a frenzied war on the continent of Askalia for decades. However, there is a limit to everything. In the end, the exhausted and angry subjects began to put pressure on the Emperor, blaming him for not being able to look at him.
An act that would have been unthinkable in the past. If he had done something like this, the nine tribes could have been immediately exterminated by the Flame Emperor, but his authority had already fallen to the ground a long time ago due to the Flame Emperor’s mistake.
“… And then. The crystal whispered.”
“…”
The situation is obvious even without looking at it. The crystal has now absorbed a lot of the blood and soul that flowed on the continent of Askalia, and his power has become stronger, so he whispers to him to use himself.
Because he was under extreme pressure from inside and outside the empire, the Flame Emperor had no other options, and in the end, he half-gives in and accepts the crystal’s demands.
A salt emperor who secretly buried a crystal in the center of the continent of Ascalia. Having completed all his preparations, he acts like a weary emperor strapping on his guns to save his unfortunate subjects.
“… Let’s have a final round in the center of the Demon Emperor and Ascalia, and whoever wins that round will be the final winner.”
Perhaps the opponents were also tired of the sluggish and terrible war, and surprisingly, they seemed to readily accept the Emperor’s proposal.
A powerful family of losers. In other words, instead of the defeated family of the Flame Emperor and the Demon Emperor being exterminated, the winner receives control of the continent of Askalia as they wish, and promises to pay tribute to the opponent for a while.
Like that. In the middle of the Mythology Continent, a terrible and enormous revolution takes place that has never been seen or heard of before.
