“So, now you’re here.”

Rudelson looked at him quietly.

Louis said, "When did you start targeting me?"

Rudelson made a thoughtful expression: "Maybe it was after your pet ate the Book of the Dead?"

Louis was stunned for a moment: "What?"

"Didn't you let your pet digest the Book of the Dead?"

Louis finally remembered something from his dusty memory.

"The time at Dragon Bone Grassland?"

Rudelson nodded.

During the Dragon Bone Grassland counterattack, after they defeated the tide of the living dead, they discovered the "Book of the Dead" underground.

In order to prevent someone from trying to recreate the farce of "The Supreme King of Martial Arts, with the sword that slays dragons. If the sword does not come out, who can compete with him?" in the name of the existence of the Book of the Dead, Louis directly airdropped Rimuru.

In front of everyone, Rimuru directly dissolved the "Book of the Dead".

"Is the Book of the Dead important to you?"

Rudelson laughed strangely:

“Whether it disappears from the world or not is important.”

Louis sighed and said, "I heard that the New Book of the Dead you studied has deciphered the mystery of life and death."

"It seems that you have further deepened this power based on the original cycle of life and death?"

Rudelson shook his head and said, "I am just the memory of the Rudelson you know."

“The initial version of the New Book of the Dead laid the foundation for subsequent improved versions.”

“But there is definitely still a lot of room for growth.”

"But all this disappeared with Rudelson's death."

He opened his hands and a calm expression appeared on his face: "But this won't be the end."

"Although I am only a shadow that retains his memories, I am not him in person, and I cannot touch the reality where he exists."

"But my creator cruelly gave me similar memories to his, so whether I like it or not, I will continue his unfinished journey."

"…Then, bring her back and let her rest in peace."

This replica of Rudelson chattered on and on.

Louis remained silent, like a silent stone statue.

"Your Highness, have you ever thought about why a clone like me would risk my life for someone else's woman?"

The smile on Rudelson's face gradually calmed down: "He clearly knew that this memory belonged to someone else, and he had never been with that woman since he was born."

Louis was stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses.

He really hadn't thought about it.

Even now, when he looked at the replica, he thought of the real Rudelson, not the mad king who was despised by everyone.

Strictly speaking, there wasn't much relationship between him and Xilin.

Even though he knew clearly that he was a counterfeit, he would not be willing to risk everything and risk his life for others.

Rudelson seemed to understand Louis's confusion.

He said calmly, "Because I didn't have my own life to begin with. There was only that woman. She was the proof of my existence."

He chuckled softly: "So I have seen the world through her, and I am not meaningless."

Louis said, "So why did you find me?"

Rudelson smiled and said, "Have you heard of the seven disasters that destroyed the world?"

Louis shook his head.

Rudelson said: "Legend has it that the last generation of heroes predicted that the continent would encounter seven devastating disasters."

"These seven disasters are enough to wipe out most of the life on the continent."

"The first disaster was called the Golden City of Destruction. It was a disaster that existed thousands of years ago."

"In the end, the Elf Kingdom sent in more than half of its high-level combat power, and the last Elf King died, before they were able to successfully suppress it."

"The aftermath of the destruction of the Golden City directly led to the decline of the Hidden Forest, which later split off."

“It was also during that time that the Republic of Tunisia had some breathing space and was able to develop successfully.”

"Today, a considerable part of the Tunisian Republic's main force is being used to suppress the pollution left behind by the Golden Country."

"That thing has no limits. It can turn the entire world into a dead and silent golden forest."

Louis was stunned for a moment.

He also has an indissoluble bond with the last Elf King.

Even if Mentor Merlin didn't say it, he knew that Merlin definitely had an extremely close relationship with the last Elf King.

He knew too much information.

"What about other disasters?"

Rudelson said, "The last Patriarch of the Abyss Church was chosen by the Four Gods. He once initiated an Abyss Blood Sacrifice."

"He permanently reduced the spatial stability of the Kingdom of Monet, and was the direct cause of the appearance of the snake."

"The core combat force of the Monet Kingdom almost perished together with the main force of the Abyss Church back then."

“But the patriarch did not die, and even tried to initiate another blood sacrifice more than 100 years ago.”

"If that blood sacrifice succeeds, the space barrier of the entire Star Continent will become extremely fragile."

"It was even more difficult to hold, but the Emperor found him and killed him during his blood sacrifice."

Louis was stunned.

But later I felt it was reasonable.

SOLO battle is the most suitable option for the Emperor. Basically, no matter who comes, it will be "you have been beaten by the Emperor".

Rudelson continued, "The third disaster is the lifting of the seal of the Felin Magic Sunflower beneath the City of Ghosts."

"Thousands of years ago, the Phailin plotted to destroy all life on the stars, and they were eventually sealed beneath the Great Desert of Anauroch."

"They are creatures of inherent evil and too powerful. It is because of them that Anauroch, once a rich land, has become a barren desert."

"Many years ago, the Lord of the Ghost City secretly conducted experiments on the Phelin Magic Sunflower, causing the reproduction rate of the Phelin Magic Sunflower to increase tenfold."

"He is the great sin of the past generation - Pride."

"The High Forest Chancellor fought with him and was seriously injured."

"Although the Lord of the Ghost City was successfully stopped, the Grand Speaker tried to control the switch of world destruction to help the Supreme Forest deter other countries."

"It was the Emperor who forced them to stop fighting."

Louis suddenly realized.

In the process of the Emperor becoming the strongest on the continent, a very important node was that he defeated the two most powerful demigods in the world at one time in order to protect the empire's interests in the Anauroch Desert.

That’s right, it’s the Lord of Ghost City and the Grand Speaker of the Elf.

But he didn't expect that there was a hidden story behind this, and it even involved the doomsday prophecy.

"I won't mention the fourth plague."

"The point is the fifth disaster. You should have seen it."

Rudelson said so.

Louis quickly interrupted his conversation: "What do you mean by no need to mention it?"

Rudelson scratched his head awkwardly and said:

"Because I am the fourth disaster."

Louis was dumbfounded.

"Your tide of the living dead is so powerful? Can it be considered a world-destroying disaster?"

To be honest, the destructive power caused by the tide of the living dead is not bad, but it is not so easy to be effective when facing the elite troops of various countries.

This kind of method, which is almost impossible to hide once it causes damage, will not allow Rudelson time to develop to his peak condition.

It must have been beheaded by various forces as soon as it started.

It's just that the one who beheaded him was the Emperor.

Rudelson shook his head and said, "My threat is not the tide of the living dead, or even me."

"Haven't you figured it out yet? The disaster I represent is the New Book of the Dead and the dark side of the god of love."

"The reversal of life and death will inevitably upset the balance of the world."

"And if the dark side of the God of Love is born successfully as Slaanesh hopes, the distorted doctrine will cause permanent damage to society."

Louis thought for a moment and said:

"Your New Book of the Dead has indeed caused a lot of trouble. If you sell it wholesale to the whole world, the world will be in chaos."

"But the biggest impact of the dark side of the God of Love is to create an evil god, the weakest one at that."

"Gods cannot descend into the world, so the destructive power they can cause should be relatively limited."

Rudelson shook his head and said, "God's harm never manifests itself in this regard."

"Do you know why Tzeentch is recognized as the most dangerous of the four gods?"

Louis shook his head and said he didn't know.

Rudelson said: "Tzeentch's creed makes the beautiful become ugly, the strong become puppets, those who fight side by side hate each other, and those who are as close as brothers become enemies forever."

“That is what fundamentally shakes the order.”

"Since his birth, this kind of subtle pollution has caused the number of riots across the continent to increase several times."

"The number of deaths is incalculable, and it further expanded Tzeentch's power."

"If no one stops it, the more powerful Tzeentch will only devote more power to the conspiracy."

"Then the number of riots will increase overall, and eventually the whole world will be plunged into chaos."

Louis got goosebumps when he heard this.

From this perspective, the harm caused by Jianqi is truly terrible.

Wait, if that's the case, then the impact of the dark side of the god of love wouldn't be...

Rudelson said calmly:

"It seems that you have already guessed it. Slaanesh originally wanted to cultivate the dark side of the God of Love, leading him to indulge in lust and not value love."

"Even the dark side of the god of love, which had already been weakened by Xilin and I, has caused an unimaginable impact on the entire marriage system since its birth."

"It doesn't matter whether you love or not, just be happy first."

"Immorality can be forgiven, and shamelessness is reasonable."

"Deep affection turns into dog-licking, men and women become more antagonistic, and the beautiful vision of marriage and significant other gradually weakens."

"The final result is..."

“There’s a decline in fertility rates around the world.”

Rudelson smiled sarcastically:

"This kind of subtle influence is not so easy to find out."

"The human heart cannot stand the test, but the original concept of the dark side of the god of love will aggravate the decline of the concept of marriage in the whole society."

"It may even give some people an excuse to abandon their responsibilities."

"The god of love is also the god of fertility."

"If Slaanesh's operation is successful, the mainland's population could drop by tens or even hundreds of millions in 100 years at most."

"…Because He is an evil god who is spreading wildly under the guise of the God of Love."

"This kind of genocide will cause more casualties than a large-scale war."

"And eventually these forces will be fed back to Slaanesh. Slaanesh's minions will spread all over the continent, making everyone panic."

Louis' head was buzzing.

Mad King, this doctrine of Slaanesh that you copied, could it have come from a small broken ball?

If we throw the dark side of the god of love there, wouldn't it be able to expand into a powerful divine power in a very short time? Well, he admitted that Rudelson and Xilin together were indeed qualified to bear the disaster of world destruction.

He thought for a moment and said:

"The fifth disaster, could it be the shadow evil from the Shadow Kingdom?"

Rudelson said: "You are very clever, you guessed it right."

Louis said nothing.

It is normal for him to come to this conclusion.

The emperor needs to stand up and fight the enemy on another country's land, which is definitely not something he can imagine now.

"The Sixth Calamity, you should know that the Four Gods' Chosen, the Demon King of the Dungeon, is still in a state where he can barely be controlled."

"If he's completely crazy, that's going to be trouble."

Louis said, "How is he now?"

Rudelson said, "Although that guy has committed many evil deeds, he has not gone completely crazy yet despite the infusion of the Four Gods' pollution."

"He still had some sanity left in him, and that sanity made him less dangerous."

"Even under normal circumstances, the Emperor can easily suppress him."

"But that was his release state, seeking someone to take him to rest in peace."

"If he really goes completely crazy, you'll have to consider what it means to be a substitute for the Four Gods."

Louis took a deep breath, expecting this.

The monsters swarming out of the dungeon and the demon king who commanded the monsters brought great destruction to the entire world in every world line.

This was the result of his best efforts to prevent it.

"What about the last natural disaster?"

Louis said curiously.

Rudelson said honestly: "I don't know."

"have no idea?"

"Well, when Brave Max predicted the future, he was unable to see the full picture of the Seventh Disaster."

"Why?"

"I don't know, but he clearly said that he saw a figure with the blood of a succubus and the body of a cursed dragon, who stopped the Seventh Scourge at the end of time and space."

His eyes looked at Louis.

Louis just felt his scalp tingling.

"Look at me, I'm not that capable."

Rudelson shook his head and said, "Don't worry, no one will force you to do anything you don't want to do."

"The Emperor asked me to tell you to follow your heart. Your heart will guide you on this path."

He held out his hand to Louis:

"Okay, that's all I have to say. Please accept this gift."

He placed a ball of light in Louis's hand.

Louis asked curiously, "What is this?"

Rudelson said: "A side-effect-free version of the Book of the Dead (New Edition)."

“At the end of my life, I understood the nature of this power.”

“But this force is too harmful to the mainland.”

"It's not possible to completely eliminate it, so I decided to change my approach."

Louis became alert: "What are you going to do?"

"I want to modify this perfect resurrection ability into a kind of protection. Only one person can use the effect of the Book of the Dead at a time."

"And the end of this road will be to march with the dead, break away from the world, and start the road to becoming a god."

“In this way, the impact on the mainland will be minimized.”

Louis complained: “Why don’t you call the protection [Protection of the Shadow King], and call the resurrected guys the Cursed Legion.”

Rudelson looked at Louis with a smile.

After a moment, Louis' forehead was covered with sweat: "Brother, are you kidding me?"

It's broken, the culprit who burned the world's IF line has emerged.
