Although Louis didn't have the ability to read minds, he was keenly aware of his old man Deng's growing desire to punch him in the face.
Louis stood up straight instantly, turned around and hugged Beatrice:
"Your Majesty, Beatrice will soon ascend the throne. Don't you have anything to say to her?"
Emperor: ...
This guy is implying that he can't get hurt now! That's right.
Beatrice's coronation ceremony has been confirmed.
It's just one month later.
At that time, Olivia, who is fighting outside, will need to come back to attend her sister's wedding.
Fortunately, there were other people at the scene.
At that time, Rimuru's temporary management authority will be temporarily handed over to the head of the Raven Guard.
The main task of the Raven Guard is to clear out the escaped demon legions along the coast of the Fallen Star Sea of the Unther Empire.
When the time comes, just hand over the power to them.
Of course, now that the time has been confirmed, it also means that Louis has to prepare early.
The coronation ceremony is a big event in itself. As Beatrice's fiancé, Louis will be transformed from a prince in name only to a prince in real name.
This also means that the highest power of the empire is now in the hands of the couple.
From now on, he could no longer call Beatrice "fiancée" affectionately, but could directly call her wife.
Of course, just thinking about the above scene made the emperor a little angry.
His own cabbage was taken away by an outsider. Although he had a premonition and had reluctantly accepted this fact, when it really happened, he still felt extremely complicated.
Not to mention that this bastard didn't just eat up one of his cabbages, but destroyed the entire vegetable garden.
His clenched fist loosened because of Louis' reminder, but after imagining that scene, he clenched his fist again.
As expected, I still want to beat this guy up.
But you can't really fight.
——The day Beatrice ascended the throne was also the day this bastard married his daughter.
At that time, the news will be announced to the world, which will also mean that Louis' power in the Enser Empire will reach the peak.
By then, as the prince of the empire, Louis will hold power that will be suffocating.
In other words, the prince’s power would not have expanded so much originally, but this kid is different.
His situation meant that Enser had to hand over more power to restrain him, for fear that this guy would run away.
Not to mention that there was no objection from Beatrice.
"Father, the transfer of power in one month has been arranged."
The emperor nodded and said, "You can handle this part from now on."
Beatrice snorted softly: "Father, do you not want to see me anymore? Or do you not want to give me any advice at all?"
The emperor laughed instead: "It has nothing to do with this. The main thing is that if I have to intervene at that time, are you sure you can balance those powers? You are really not afraid of being sidelined, right?"
Beatri said without hesitation: "How could he be sidelined? Father, although Louis has not yet broken through to the legendary level, his combat power can already be directly recognized as a demigod.
Becoming a legend is not a difficult task for him, and once he is promoted to a legend, his strength will transform.
What about demigods? That’s not a difficult task. When the time comes…”
Beatrice showed a dangerous smile: "Father, although I may not be able to defeat you in this life purely in terms of fighting ability, Louis has a chance to do it.
Everyone in the government and the public knows this, and when the time comes, they will take the initiative to stand on my side.”
The emperor was originally enjoying what he heard.
It has been many years since he heard his daughter speak to him in such a sweet and innocent way about her thoughts.
He was in a very happy mood at first, but after hearing it, he looked at Louis with a half-smile.
Louis coughed and said, "Even if one day your son-in-law becomes stronger than you, what can he do to you?"
"It's just that you can't do it, not that you don't want to do it, right?" The emperor narrowed his eyes. This kid is really arrogant.
Louis nodded and said seriously: "I am indeed curious about the strength of the number one person in the continent. In other words, how can you experience the magnificent view of the mountains without climbing them?"
"Then I'll give you this opportunity now. Are you willing to enter the Gate of the Abyss and experience the front line of the battlefield?"
Louis paused, coughed and said:
"The time is not right yet, let's wait a little longer."
"No, no, no, I think the timing is just right now. Waiting a little longer would not be a good idea."
Louis began to panic.
What do you mean, it's not Lao Deng?
Are you really going to drag me down and bury me on the spot? The Emperor laughed loudly, and the resounding sound seemed to shake the entire chamber:
"I'm not really going to kill you. I just want our Imperial Prince to know in advance the mess my daughter is about to deal with."
Louis breathed a sigh of relief.
He looked speechlessly at Beatrice who was smiling beside him.
His dear one is still waving his little hand at him.
Louis didn't know what to say for a moment.
He was sure Beatrice had done it on purpose.
I don’t know if it was because she hadn’t seen her father for a long time and she subconsciously revealed the playful nature that was normal for her age, or if she vaguely sensed something.
Anyway, that statement definitely added fuel to the fire.
For an old father whose daughter is about to get married, his daughter's unhesitating stance on her husband's side is no less than "the yellow-haired Shamatte boy hugging his little cabbage and riding on a will-o'-the-wisp and leaving."
At this time, if someone says, "Dad, you don't understand him at all," the old father will immediately say, "Okay, okay, I'll kill him right away!"
Ahem, I’ll deduct money for the pun.
In short, Louis was confused by this round of conversation. Zu Zihong decided to come to the Emperor's bedroom tomorrow and go to the Gate of the Abyss to see what the current situation is.
What made Louis feel a little strange was that the emperor now seemed to be in better health than the last time he saw him. He had gone from being a dried corpse to someone who was barely gaining flesh. But he instinctively felt that the emperor had actually become weaker and was at greater risk.
"It must be an illusion, right?!"
Louis couldn't help but think as he left.
But he has always been the kind of person who is meticulous enough to consider every detail.
The Emperor's sleep lasted longer and longer.
It seems that the burden of the Gate of the Abyss is becoming heavier and heavier for him.
If the situation continues to deteriorate, failure to defend Ensher's gate will be the inevitable outcome.
I hope that this trip to the Gate of the Abyss with the Emperor can relieve Lao Deng's pressure to a certain extent.
Maybe Lao Deng really wanted him to go to the Abyss Gate to find out what was going on? What? You said the Emperor wanted to drag me over and beat me to death? Are you kidding me! Do you really want his three daughters to be widows?
Impossible! Absolutely impossible! Believe it first! …
the next day.
Louis himself crept off to the chamber.
The Emperor's Guards had already received the news and did not stop him.
After entering the bedroom, he saw the emperor said to him with a fake smile: "Here you are, are you ready to go down to the abyss?"
Louis: ??? Lao Deng, don’t say that. I’m so scared.
He already regretted coming here alone. Didn't Lao Deng really want to drag him into the bottomless abyss?
"Okay, why are you still looking at me? Come here."
"Okay!"
Louis ran over happily.
It's not shameful to be ordered around by the number one man in the Star Continent, the most powerful demigod in history, the terminator of world-destroying disasters, the killer of Dragon Kings, and the uncrowned king of the Enther Empire.
Working for your father-in-law is even less shameful.
There was a burnt smell in the air, and the sultry heat swept in from all directions.
In a trance, he looked up at the sky and found himself in a barren reddish-brown desert.
Explosions could be heard from time to time around the desert that was soaked in blood.
Louis looked in amazement at the demon flying through the sky and colliding with the blood energy shot from all directions of the desert.
The shock wave spread outward, carrying with it the blood-colored sand.
He took a deep breath and said, "Shall I go over and try?"
The direction he spoke was not towards the front, back, left or right, but towards the sky.
Yes.
Since he entered here, he has never seen the Emperor on the Golden Throne again.
But he knew where the Emperor was.
When he looked up at the sky, he seemed to see a cold face in the extremely distant and unreal horizon, overlooking the land like a dark cloud covering the sky and the earth.
This was a feeling he would never have understood the last time he met the Emperor.
At that time, he only felt that the Emperor was very powerful, but he could not feel the gap between them.
But as his understanding of the rules has now risen to the level of demigod, he finally understands the horror of the Emperor.
Is the Bone Demon that was killed by Louis before strong?
It is undoubtedly strong.
It's ridiculous.
The three demigods arranged by Louis and Beatrice at that time were considered to be of medium level among the demigods of Enther.
The three demigods guarding the coast were not thinking about killing the incarnation of the demon lord.
——Just to push Him back.
That's right, at the beginning, Louis and Beatrice's plan was just to repel it, attract the attention of various countries, and finally gather troops to encircle and suppress this demigod and those traitors on the Star Continent.
But later on, Louis went from avoiding the battle alone when facing Huang Gu, to counterattacking after joining forces with the three demigods of Enser, and then taking the initiative to assist them and strengthen their combat power...
It can be said that the pressure faced by each ring of desolate bones has increased several times.
But even so, Louis chose to use Emerald Sacrifice to force him into stiffness, which gave him the possibility of killing him.
He has seen the incarnation of Huang Gu and has some understanding of him. Now that he compares him with the current emperor, he can give a better evaluation.
He was certain and certain...
It shouldn't take much for the Emperor to kill the incarnation of wild bones.
It’s basically “ceremonial bang, bang, bang,” and then the battle is over.
Afterwards, those who heard about this in the mortal world could not help but admire Huang Gu, saying bluntly, "To be able to block the Emperor's three blows, he must be a demigod tiger!" The difference is too great... It has reached a point where there is no need for comparison at all.
Louis' expression became a little subtle as he looked at the face looming in the sky.
This further proves that the methods currently used by the emperor are definitely supported by external forces.
It was like the Hall of Greed, which itself meant a path to becoming a god that was gradually opening up to him.
The Emperor may have also deeply integrated the power of the great sin of hubris into his own demiplane.
No, wait.
A terrible thought flashed through Louis' mind.
This is definitely not a bottomless abyss.
The Emperor would not be foolish enough to place the battlefield in the Abyss.
The rules of the Abyss Blood Battle will cause the Abyss Demons present to become stronger as the battle goes on.
If we start a war there, advantages can easily turn into disadvantages.
But this is not the Star Continent either.
The Star Continent has already been shaken, and the surrounding countries have realized that something is wrong.
He recalled the information Beatrice had told him about his father.
"Is this really just the Emperor's dream?"
He couldn't see the falsity of this dream at all.
Everything he saw, heard and experienced told him that this was an absolutely real world.
Then there is only one answer.
The emperor fell into a deep sleep sitting on the golden throne, and his dream turned into a real world.
Is this the value of the strongest person in the world?
People who don’t know would think that the Emperor is a real God!
etc.
Is there any obvious difference between Lao Deng and the gods?
Louis thought about it carefully.
If it were on the Star Continent, even the gods, the Abyss Lords, the Elemental Monarchs and other divine beings would not be able to match the Emperor in terms of actual combat power.
If the Emperor exhausts everything, chooses to stand up and falls into the abyss, a fifth god besides the four gods will appear in the abyss - the God of Destruction. At that time, the Emperor is already a god, and the top evil god.
If we compare the kingdoms of gods, the Emperor's ability to transform dreams into reality surpasses most of the kingdoms of gods. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a kingdom of gods on earth.
If we compare the petitioners in the Kingdom of God, what about the Legion soldiers who have been following the Emperor to fight in the Abyss Gate? Their belief in the Emperor is probably more crazy than most petitioners.
If you were to compete in divine means, such as granting power to subordinates, the legends and demigods who are terrified at the mere sight of the Iron Guard would tell you the answer.
broken!
Emperor, you still say you are not a god!
As if being pulled into this dream world made the Emperor's perception of his emotions clearer, Louis heard the Emperor's voice again: "I am still human... at least for now."
Louis nodded and said seriously: "Father-in-law, you are right!"
Ah, yes, yes, yes.
You love role playing and no one can stop you.
Although the tone was so serious, that kind of nasty taste was still revealed.
The emperor simply stopped talking.
Louis felt a little panicked because the next moment he was thrown into the war zone by the Emperor.
"Go and try their quality." The emperor said slowly.
Louis was stunned for a moment: "What do you mean?"
"Try to see the quality of the legions under your command."
"good."
So you're talking about the Cursed Legion.
That's easy, Lao Deng, just take a good look at the true strength of the army under your son-in-law.
The next moment, a shadow enveloped the surrounding area.
In the creeping darkness, a faint green fire lit up.
Along with it came the silvery-white liquid flowing under their feet.
That was the equipment of the Cursed Legion, which Louis had spent the most resources to equip so far.
It is also the source of nightmares that all enemies will feel fear when they think of it.
Louis smiled slightly: "Emperor, oh emperor, you are really strong, but a real man lives in heaven and earth, how can he be depressed and inferior to others for a long time?"
“Stand up!”
The military flags waved, and the curse came out.
