This time, Victor brought her a completely new kind of pain.
Compared to the deep sorrow before, the pain now is far more profound.
From beginning to end, she was the only one who was in love with him.
What makes becoming emperor a guarantee of happiness? What makes becoming emperor a guarantee of getting the person you want?
That's bullshit.
Everyone in the world is deceiving her.
She seemed like a pawn to be played with and easily discarded.
So what's the point of staying in the position of Empress?
"Have you finally come to terms with reality?"
Viktor is still dealing damage.
His words remained sharp and sarcastic.
But now, when Aurelion raised her head again, her eyes, once filled with the dreamlike nebula of light, were now empty and lifeless.
She looked at Victor, at the man she loved most who had extinguished the last glimmer of hope in her heart.
Now, Aurelion has been completely changed.
If even the emperor couldn't win over Professor Victor's heart
Then why not use this power to forcibly keep him by my side?
That's right, we forcibly kept him here.
This is the Empire, and she is the supreme Empress.
In this empire, she is the most powerful being.
Even someone as powerful as Gwen is no match for her, even though Gwen has become a god.
The emperor's status filled Aurelion with confidence.
That's right.
Just this once, let yourself go.
teacher……
Let me use the strength of the whole nation to win you over.
Even if I can't win your heart, I will still win your body.
After that, we will leave the Empire.
Let me take you to a place where no one can find us.
I will take good care of you, teacher.
In that instant, a chaotic starlight shone from Aurelion's eyes.
The 'Eternal Furnace' hidden within his body also violently pounded through his flesh and blood, heavy and brutal.
It was like a resounding bell, or like a raging torrent.
That roar that devoured heaven and earth seemed to be telling of Aurelion's absolute obsession and the shattered, distant beauty within her heart.
Finally, an overwhelming aura of imperial power rose from above her head.
This aura, like a miniature dragon, swirled rapidly and contorted above her head, radiating an incomparably magnificent power.
This was formed from the 'faith' provided by countless residents of the empire after she became emperor.
By harnessing the power of this faith, she can continuously grow stronger.
Aurelion knew she could not defeat Viktor.
Therefore, as a descendant of the Thor family, she instinctively activated her bloodline energy.
This would allow them to draw upon and absorb the power of other emperors from past dynasties.
This is Aurelion's last trump card against the gods in the original game's storyline.
Thump thump thump—
The dark formation seemed to come alive.
The chains that extended from the edges, binding the seven imperial powers, vibrated and banged under the powerful gravity.
The seven auras bound by darkness were restless, trying to break free from the shackles of chaos.
If these powers hadn't been restrained by Vega, Aurelion might have actually been able to absorb them and make them his own.
However……
Upon seeing this, Viktor's lips curled into a slight smile.
Although there may have been some errors along the way, the final result was still good.
Aurelion finally chose to attack him, forcefully drawing upon the power of her bloodline to summon the strength of other emperors throughout history.
But... this is the opportunity that Viktor has been waiting for all along.
“Vega”.
As soon as the words were spoken, the last corner of the dark magic circle lit up, instantly penetrating the last chain that was poised to strike.
In the blazing fire, the darkness resembled a long, winding serpent, swiftly traversing the space.
It transformed into chains above Aurelion's head, binding the floating and swirling imperial aura around her.
Aurelian was slightly startled.
She felt an extremely strong, invisible force pulling at the power within her body.
At this moment, Aurelion's entire attention was focused on this.
Therefore, she did not notice.
A shimmering green light appeared silently behind them, forming a pattern of swirling emerald green branches and leaves.
The formation was completely silent, even suppressing the vibrations of magic to a minimum.
Immediately afterwards, a chilling aura flashed past Aurelion from behind.
Thump!
The sensation of a blunt object striking Aurelion's fair and slender nape was intense.
In an instant, Aurelion felt a powerful impact.
Before she could react, a tingling, electric-like sensation of dizziness flowed through her nerves and bones, reaching deep into her brain.
Her body suddenly became limp, almost losing all resistance, and she collapsed helplessly like a lump of mud.
At the same time, she caught a glimpse of the figure behind her:
Silver-white armor, long silver-white hair flowing in the wind.
A long sword still sheathed, and beneath a helmet that obscures the eyes, that familiar, exquisitely beautiful face.
"Gwen... teacher?"
Why,
Ms. Gwen will be here.
However, her dwindling senses told her that she hadn't fallen to the ground.
The moment her body hit the ground, she fell into someone's arms.
The familiar scent made her realize that this person was none other than her beloved teacher, Victor.
But... even though she fell into his arms, Aurelion couldn't feel happy.
Her eyelids felt as if they were filled with lead, and she couldn't open them, nor could she lift her head to see the man's familiar features.
All I could hear was his cold voice ringing in my ears:
“My foolish student, remember this.”
"Hearing is unreliable, seeing is believing."
seeing is believing.
It seems that, from beginning to end, what she considered to be true information was nothing more than hearsay.
This includes news about Gwen and Victor becoming enemies.
Finally, the fogginess in her mind made it impossible for her to think.
In the last moment before she closed her eyes, only Viktor's voice remained in her ears.
That was a patient admonition and advice, quite different from what had been given before.
Like a warm current, it seeped into her heart:
"This is the last lesson your teacher will teach you."
