The vast interior of the royal mausoleum was engulfed in flames.
Those elusive fire serpents coiled and twisted in the air, constantly crashing against the surrounding brownish-gray rock walls.
Except for the eight magnificent imperial statues, which failed to be ignited, everything below the cave was mercilessly engulfed by the flames.
Victor stood amidst the raging flames, hands in his pockets, while Vega flew through the air, a helpless expression on his face.
"Is this what you mean by severing the dragon vein and seizing its destiny?"
They were speaking some kind of gibberish; I'd never even heard of it before.
Moreover, this magic spell burned the surrounding area into a complete mess, leaving it nowhere to stand.
They were afraid that if Victor moved even slightly, it would get its backside burned by the flames.
Victor isn't afraid of fire, but it is.
What does this have to do with evil gods? It's an evil god, not a god of destruction, okay?
"So, what does this have to do with that... dragon vein?"
Viktor calmly observed the scene before him and responded indifferently:
"It's alright."
There's really no connection; Victor just wanted to look cool.
A person who isn't a bit immature in their youth is wasting their youth.
In the context of the Western world, although he was nominally an emperor, this had little to do with the imperial system of the East.
However, what Victor did was quite similar.
Strictly speaking, it is...
"Since being an emperor means a short life, then let's just prevent Aurelion from becoming emperor."
Aubrey hopes to break through the limitations of being the "Emperor" through personal training.
He did break through, but not completely.
Because Aubrey achieved something even better than the Emperor.
But he still died young.
On the one hand, it was the emperor's destiny; on the other hand, it was the excessive exploitation of potential that led to damage to his life.
Warriors who burn their life force generally have short lifespans.
But Aurelion is different.
As a mage, she was nourished by magical power for a long time and should have had a long lifespan.
However, once he became emperor, his life was destined to end soon.
This created a conflict with the restrictions imposed by the "emperor".
In fact, this position of emperor was not something the Saul family had always wanted.
Rather, it was something they had no choice but to do.
In this empire, where the worship of gods is forbidden, there must be a force capable of replacing the role of the gods.
In other words, without an emperor, gods like Hermes could openly invade the empire.
Then the empire would be no different from any other country.
Theocracy will forever supersede royal power, and humanity will return to the era of divine rule from a thousand years ago.
Moreover, since he became emperor, his strength must be greater than that of a god, right?
If we are not even as good as gods, how can we protect this piece of land of the empire?
But the human body is ultimately limited, and even if an emperor gains the faith of the entire empire, it is difficult to truly surpass the gods.
Therefore, the power of the first emperor and the emperors who followed was actually less than that of the gods.
But the gods of that time had all been banished from this world, giving Thor's bloodline time to develop.
After becoming emperor, he was limited by his short lifespan.
A shorter lifespan further ensures that this power can be continuously passed down to future generations.
By continuously refining the emperor's power, the quality of the bloodline is improved, ensuring that each generation of children is stronger than the previous one.
To this day, this bloodline continues to be strengthened by the power of faith, ultimately creating Aubrey, who can surpass even the gods.
Ober used facts to prove that the power of the Thor bloodline meant that the Emperor's profession was not the most crucial factor.
The key lies in the astonishing talent that [Thor] has developed through the nurturing of eight [Emperors].
A mortal body, yet comparable to the gods.
It can be said that in the empire, the emperor was more of a victim.
Every emperor needs to leverage the power of popular support to maintain stability; therefore, there must never be a tyrannical ruler.
Even mediocrity is acceptable, but the emergence of a tyrannical and incompetent ruler would mean the interruption of the development of the entire Thor bloodline.
Therefore, the average happiness level of the people in the empire is extremely high.
When people hear the title "Emperor," they do not feel submission by kneeling, but rather worship and awe.
Because everyone knows that the emperor is the pillar and protector of this country.
But now, Victor's goal is to sever this bloodline.
Once the Emperor's power is gone, Aurelion will no longer need to pass on the Thor bloodline to her descendants.
not to mention,
“As long as Aurelion is no longer the emperor, the Thor bloodline will end.”
Thor's bloodline, passed down through generations, has benefited from the nourishment of the Emperor's power, and this talent has grown stronger with each passing year.
The Thor bloodline will end if Aurelion's throne is abdicated and she is prevented from having children.
Incidentally, he remarried Aurelian and gave her her last name.
After all, there had never been a case of a member of the Saul family who died young without becoming emperor.
Mrs. Kasanna, who is only a few years older than Aubrey, is still in excellent health.
However, since the downfall of the Raiser family, she has never left her home and has disappeared from the public eye.
Therefore, Victor believes the solution is simple.
Just remove the "Emperor" profession.
However, Vega, who was now flying in the air, was extremely confused and full of questions.
"No...didn't you say the empire needs an emperor?"
Without the protection of successive emperors, the empire would have long been invaded by the followers of various gods.
