Almost the entire city of Karencia was engulfed in an endless frenzy.
Tens of millions of citizens prayed in unison, chanting Vega's name.
The citizens of the empire stared with fervor, countless gazes fixed intently on Vega.
Their behavior was mechanical, their eyes revealed an indescribable dullness and obsession, their lips trembled, and they shouted hoarsely.
"Emperor Vega! Our supreme ruler!"
"Emperor Vega! The empire awaits your rule!"
Sitting in the academy square, Rivi was one of the few humans in the empire who had not been seduced by illusions.
Hearing the repeated calls of "Emperor Vega" around him, he couldn't help but frown.
He was, after all, a veteran official of the empire.
Although he has maintained a face that looks like that of a young, handsome man who has just come of age for many years.
But in reality, Reeve and Aubrey are the same age.
For decades of his life, the Karencia Empire was ruled by Aubrey and his Sol royal bloodline.
Now, the emperor has suddenly changed his ruler, and the person in question is someone who has absolutely no connection to the royal family.
This made Revi feel somewhat uncomfortable, and he even somewhat refused to acknowledge Vega, the 'Emperor' in the mouths of countless citizens of the Empire.
When Queen Aurelian first removed her crown, Revy was also incredibly surprised.
Although he guessed that this was Viktor's doing, he still believed that Viktor would eventually make Aurelion Emperor again.
However, to everyone's surprise, Viktor's plan was to usurp the throne.
Usurpation is one thing, but the problem is—
Who is Vega?
This is what Reeves finds hardest to understand.
If Victor became emperor, Rivić could accept it.
Of course, it's not because Victor became emperor that his daughter had a chance to become empress... well, a little bit.
In short, Victor is a native of the Empire, and his relationship with the former Empress...
In any case, Viktor will definitely not treat Aurelion unfairly.
The question is whether the other residents will accept Victor?
In everyone's eyes, Viktor was an absolute demon king.
Even if it's a hallucination, it's hard for anyone to subconsciously accept Victor as emperor.
"So, in order to protect the empire, Victor appointed a man named 'Vega' as emperor?"
Levi quietly offered his own guess.
Compared to the rulers of other countries,
The emperor of an empire is not merely someone who oversees all aspects of the country,
The emperor was more like a god in this region, a powerful protector of the empire.
People worship emperors, and emperors can draw strength from people's faith to become stronger.
In turn, this protects the people and defends against foreign invasion.
Therefore, despite the Ragnarok power constantly destroying the world, the Empire has remained unaffected to this day, and this is the reason why.
But now, the empire has lost its emperor.
The citizens had nowhere to place their faith, and the emperor could no longer protect them.
The entire Karencia Empire was exposed to an unknown crisis.
Before long, when the remaining royal protection is exhausted, the empire will follow in the footsteps of other countries.
At that time, everyone will face disaster.
But the problem remains the same.
Victor's method was good, but since there was no emperor, he appointed a new one.
The issue of residents' religious beliefs also seems less important.
Even the residents who were previously affected by the hallucinations have now become incredibly devout, worshipping the new emperor named 'Vega'.
It seems they've all been brainwashed.
But who exactly is Vega?
At this moment, Leah, who was standing next to him, had a strange expression on her face, seemingly incredulous at Levi's question, and spoke up:
“Vega, that’s the raven that Victor keeps.”
"What?"
Upon hearing this, Levi blinked in surprise.
He then looked up at the sky following the screen's guidance, his gaze falling on the woman in black sitting on Viktor's lap.
If he remembered correctly, that evil god seemed to be the raven that Victor had been raising.
But... how could an evil god become the emperor of an empire? Isn't that absurd?
She's a goddess with faith and a formal position!
Nowadays, the evil god has almost become the guardian deity of the demi-humans, and all the demi-humans worship that raven.
And now, that crow has come again to brainwash all the citizens of the empire, to make them accept their faith.
Isn't this a conflict?
Each position has its own pitfall. Since "Vega" is an evil god, she cannot become the emperor of the empire as an evil god.
Let alone whether the residents would allow it, the land of Karencia would not allow it.
To become an emperor, she cannot be a god.
Of course, Leah was unaware of these things.
She was simply recalling the name "Vega," lost in deep thought.
It's perfectly normal that other people don't know that the raven on Viktor's body is named Vega.
Because Victor almost never revealed the raven's real name to the outside world.
Even Lia only learned the name of the raven from Victor by chance during a conversation.
Therefore, Leah always kept the name of that raven in her heart.
Viktor never mentioned the name "Vega" to anyone else again.
Only now have people all over the world realized that the raven he kept was actually an evil god who could transform into human form.
