Tower of Truth.

The last emperor Safinos passed away so suddenly, leaving behind a mess full of problems.

Now the question is, what should I do next? Should I leave?

Is it a war?

Or are there other options?

After thinking for a while, Rosen turned his head and looked at the blurry light and shadow.

"Alice~Did the emperor make any arrangements before he left?"

Alice didn't respond, as if Rosen didn't exist at all.

Rosen was startled, picked up the scepter of light and asked again.

Still no response.

Tiralilin had understood.

"Your Majesty, you do not have the royal blood of Safinos, nor do you hold any important position in the Dawn Empire, so you do not have the power to call on the royal butler."

She then looked at Alice and repeated Rosen's question.

Alice responded as expected.

She said: "Before his death, His Majesty had already started the process of the demiplane's collapse."

"The demiplane is currently mobilizing its last bit of strength. It will collapse completely in half an hour, becoming a collapsed plane with a stagnation intensity so high that it is almost frozen, completely blocking all exits from the abyss."

There are arrangements.

That's good, they can just leave.

But before Rosen could breathe a sigh of relief, Alice followed up with her report.

"However, with the death of His Majesty, the supreme power of the empire has entered a state of being essentially 'ownerless'."

"Lord Cicero, who currently holds the Crown of Dawn and possesses the legitimate bloodline of Safinos, has automatically been promoted to the first-in-line successor to the throne."

"Using this qualification, Lord Cicero is invading my intelligence core. Once the invasion is successful, he will gain full management rights over the demiplane and become the official Emperor of Dawn."

Tiralilin was slightly startled and immediately asked: "As far as I know, the collapse process has absolute supreme authority. Even if Cicero has full management rights, he has no right to stop it, right?"

Alice's light and shadow nodded slightly: "It is true that I have no right to stop it, but as the emperor, I have the right to open an exemption channel, thereby establishing a channel between the abyss and the main plane, making the collapse of the demiplane meaningless."

When these words came out, the four people present were shocked.

Tiralin frowned and continued to ask, "Alice, how long do you think it will take for him to succeed?"

"According to the current invasion speed, it will be successful in fifteen minutes at most."

The half plane collapsed half an hour later, and Cicero successfully ascended the throne as the Emperor of Dawn fifteen minutes later, giving him enough time to open the exemption channel.

Rosen immediately said: "There is no doubt that we must stop Cicero."

Otherwise, once the gate to the abyss opens, the main plane will be hit hard by the abyss and the power of the other world, and the current main plane will have almost no ability to resist it.

Adela asked softly, "Cicero must have more than one person. How can we stop him with just the four of us?"

Tiralilin immediately said, "Alice, as the Sage of the Dawn, I request to obtain higher power authority to ensure that the will of Emperor Orletus is carried out in full accordance with his original intention."

Alice shook her head: "I'm sorry, the empowerment system has been completely locked and cannot meet your request."

Tiralilin took a deep breath and immediately asked, "What's the situation with Cicero? How many guards does he have?"

As these words were spoken, light and shadow flashed in the air, and a magnificent hall appeared. The hall was filled with thousands of strange creatures.

The light and shadow only lasted for a moment. Before anyone could see its appearance clearly, it suddenly flickered a few times and disappeared completely.

Without waiting to be asked, Alice took the initiative to report the situation.

"Lord Cicero has successfully obtained the inspection authority of the Dawn Palace. According to his request, I have shut down all the insight systems inside the palace."

Although the situation is not fully understood, what is known is enough to make people despair.

Patnaros sighed softly, "The enemy has too many people and their magic power is almost completely limited. We don't stand a chance at all."

Adela turned to look at Rosen and said, "Your Majesty, the good news is that only one channel has been opened, and the flow rate will not be too large. There is no high-energy magic ring in the outside world. Even if the Abyss Army comes, it will be difficult to maintain a high-energy state."

"So, we still have the strength to fight."

There is some truth in this, but if you think about it carefully, you will find that it is too optimistic.

As long as the other party sends out a high-energy puppet team similar to the Dawn Guards, the number does not need to be too large, just ten thousand, it can easily crush the current army of the Natural Empire.

Therefore, the immunity channel must not be opened, and Cicero must die! But the question is, how to kill him under the protection of thousands of apostles of the True God from another world?

Rosen's thoughts raced as he pondered over a countermeasure.

Even that was still not fast enough, so he cast an extreme intensity Time Torrent spell on himself, increasing his thinking speed by 300 times.

If he was not in the Dawn Palace but in the previous demiplane, he could accelerate up to 1,500 times, but after his power was restricted, it was only 300 times, which was still enough.

In half a second, he had a plan.

He began to ask questions.

"Lilin, if I attack Cicero, Alice will do her best to protect Cicero, right?"

"right."

"What if you attacked Cicero?"

"No, because the authority of the Dawn Sage is equal to that of the Emperor Candidate. Alice will prevent us from attacking each other in the palace."

"So how can I legally attack Cicero in the palace?"

"There is a way, that is, you also become a candidate for the Emperor of Dawn. According to the Imperial Immunity Ordinance, Alice is not allowed to interfere in the war between the candidates for the Emperor."

"But this is obviously impossible, because you do not have the royal blood of Safinos."

"No, it's possible!"

He did not have the royal blood of Safinos, but Tiralilin did, and so did the dead Emperor Oretes.

As long as he extracted it and disguised it on himself, he would have the blood of the Dawn Royal Family.

As he spoke, Rosen pulled Tiralilin to the body of Emperor Safinos, then he urged his mind and cast a time torrent field with a diameter of 3 meters and an acceleration of 300 times.

In this way, the remaining 12 minutes of reaction time has been extended to 3,600 minutes.

That is 60 hours, a little more than 2 days.

Suddenly there was plenty of time.

"Lilin, ask Alice, what are the criteria for identifying the royal bloodline of Safinos?"

Tiralin shook her head repeatedly: "This is a royal secret. Alice won't tell me."

"Just asking. What if Orites made some plans before he died?"

At such a critical moment, we must not be bound by old conventions, but should give a try to any method that has a glimmer of possibility of success.

In the time torrent field, Alice also increased her speaking speed accordingly.

"According to the emergency exemption regulations signed by His Majesty the Emperor before his death, your question is valid."

"The criteria for identifying the royal bloodline of Safinos are as follows"

Alice reported a series of very complicated magic standards.

Rosen listened carefully and recorded it in the Fu database. After listening, he chuckled.

"It seems that it is not difficult to disguise."

It was very difficult before, almost impossible, but with the ultimate talent for time, and with the two samples of Orlets and Tiralilin as references, it is entirely possible to forge a realistic Safinos royal bloodline.

Time was urgent, so he started working immediately.

Tiralilin was not sure whether Rosen could succeed, but at this juncture, there was no other way but to cooperate with all her strength.

In the time torrent area, time passes by second by second.

About five hours later, in the torrent barrier, Rosen said loudly:

"Alice, my full name is Rosen Saxon Safinos, and I also have the blood of the Safinos royal family. If you don't believe me, you can do a blood test on me."

As soon as the words fell, a bunch of fine light appeared in the air and quickly scanned Rosen back and forth several times.

Then, Alice responded: "The royal bloodline has been confirmed. Welcome back, Mr. Rosen, a member of the royal family of Safinos."

Rosen immediately took out the Scepter of Light: "I now have the Scepter of Light, one of the three royal instruments, so I am also eligible to be a candidate for emperor."

Alice nodded in acknowledgment: "Your candidacy for emperor is valid."

Tiralilin was delighted to hear this: "This way, Your Majesty can fight Cicero."

But she immediately became worried again: "But Cicero has too many guards, but Your Majesty only has one."

Rosen seemed not to hear.

He picked up the noble seal on the remains of Emperor Orletes and continued to ask: "Alice, I have mastered two of the three imperial instruments of power. I have the most imperial power and am the first in line to inherit the throne, right?"

"That's right."

"Let me ask you again, as the only sage in the Dawn Empire, can you nominate me to become the Dawn Emperor?"

Alice nodded: "If Lady Tiralilin insists on nominating you as emperor, you will be the new Emperor of Dawn."

Rosen was delighted to hear this.

The reason why he asked this was not only to try his luck, but also because Tilarilin had previously introduced to him the details of the succession to the emperor of the Dawn Empire.

Now that he had Alice's approval, he turned to look at Tiralilin.

The latter was stunned for a moment, and immediately said: "I nominate candidate Rosen as the new Dawn Emperor."

"Lord Tiralilin, are you sure you want to do this?"

"I am sure."

"Then, Mr. Rosen Saxon Safinos, congratulations on becoming the heir to the throne of the Dawn Emperor and obtaining the Supreme Dawn Emperor Power."

Rosen immediately said, "Alice, I demand that you immediately execute the usurper Cicero and his guards."

"Executing the command. Command execution failed. The attack permission has been completely locked."

Well, this guy Cicero is really capable, worthy of being the leader of the Seven Sages of the King.

Since this road was blocked, Rosen immediately changed to the second road, which was a strong attack.

If you want to attack forcefully, you must know yourself and your enemy.

The only thing about Cicero that made Rosen afraid was the true artifact, the Crown of Dawn.

"Alice, please inform me of the complete properties of the Crown of Dawn."

Alice did so immediately.

She reported a bunch of extremely complicated parameters.

Rosen listened carefully, and with the help of Lai Fu's ability, he quickly analyzed the Crown of Dawn.

About half an hour later, he had a rough idea in his mind.

He added: "Continue to report the complete properties of the Scepter of Light and how to use it."

Alice did so again.

Another half an hour later, Rosen had a clear understanding of his newly acquired true artifact.

It's almost ready.

Rosen looked at Tiralilin and said, "Take Adela and Patnaros away. I will go stop Cicero."

Tira Lilin was startled: "Your Majesty, are you alone?"

"Yes, I am alone. All your powers are locked up by the magic ring. How can you help me?"

Not only will it not help, it will also become a burden.

As he spoke, Rosen suddenly cast a spell, putting a sleeping spell on each of the two sisters outside the torrent barrier.

The two women were immediately hit and were about to fall to the ground.

"Lilin, thank you for taking them away and keeping them safe. Don't worry about me. If things go wrong, I will run away."

Tilalilin also knew that this was the only option at the moment.

She looked at Rosen deeply, with a hint of reluctance in her violet eyes: "Your Majesty, if you die, I will not live alone."

Rosen smiled: "No, you must live! You must return to my natural empire, organize your forces, and continue to fight against the abyss!"

Tiralilin's heart was shaken: "I understand, I will live!"

She took one last look at Rosen, as if she wanted to engrave his appearance in her soul, and then she and her two sisters disappeared from the top of the Tower of Truth, using the spell "Secret Path" to leave this demiplane.

Rosen took a deep breath, concentrated on sensing the time and space around him, and soon found the location of Cicero and others.

Locate the space-time equilibrium point closest to the opponent and cast a spell immediately.

He only felt a black and light in front of his eyes, and he came to a grand and bright circular hall full of epic weight.

The hall was crowded with people, or more precisely, most of them were monsters of various shapes.

In the center of the hall, there stood an obelisk shining with purple-gold light. On the obelisk, there was a faint glow, and a large number of streams of light were shining like tadpoles swimming around.

A man wearing a gorgeous purple-gold crown was standing in front of the obelisk, with his hands on the surface of the obelisk and his eyes closed as if in deep thought.

Apparently, that guy was Cicero.
