"It's been a long time, Your Majesty."

"Although your brilliance is always shining on the whole world, your figure and thoughts are too lofty and ethereal after all, making us feel that they are out of reach. Even if we want to gain a little understanding, it is extremely difficult..."

When facing the existence to which you now pledge allegiance.

Hector Colon's attitude was very respectful.

The language is also filled with unimaginable awe.

Because the other party is not only higher in status than himself, but also far stronger than himself in strength, so His respect is multifaceted and is by no means confined to appearances and without any hypocrisy.

While talking.

He, who looked like a dark red metallic bird, controlled his body and bent his waist and neck toward the throne on the steps inside the Imperial Palace not far away.

Just like in the ancient palaces on Earth, when the emperor met with ministers in the magnificent hall, the throne he sat on was usually on the steps carved with dragons and phoenixes. In this [Imperial Palace], the ruler [Emperor of the End] also sat on the steps, in the center and the highest place inside the palace. This allowed him to quietly look down at the entire [Imperial Palace], the entire [Imperial Capital], and the entire [Empire of the End]...

now.

Faced with the appearance and greeting of Hector Colon.

The figure sitting on the [Imperial Throne], although not showing any expression or emotion, still maintained the glowing humanoid appearance that had never changed from ancient times to the present. However, on that face with only two eyes alternating between gold and red and no other actual organs, he finally lowered his gaze slightly towards Hector Colon who was below.

Although there is no malicious intent.

The emotions in the eyes are just calm, indifferent, and unperturbed...

It's as calm as an ancient well, as if it has never changed.

But under that gaze.

Hector Colon suddenly felt tremendous pressure.

Because that is recognized as absolute power.

In this world, there is absolutely no force that can contend with it.

Can't even put up a slight fight.

Even if all the [Awakeners beyond the stage] unite together, the opponent can still crush them easily, and will not feel that there is any difficulty at all, just as easy as a human blowing away some water mist.

There is no need to do anything special.

Maybe you just need to aim there and take a few breaths.

but.

This was not the first time he had experienced this feeling, and Hector Colon was also very clear that the [Emperor of the End] had no hostility towards him at all.

Therefore, facing the gaze of the [Emperor of the End], he was generally able to maintain a good attitude.

One can even quietly and quietly ponder this level of power. Although it is named the [Supreme Stage], and it appears to be only one level higher than the [Transcendence Stage], is it really only one level higher?

Could it be said that there is actually some kind of gap between the [Supreme Stage] and the [Transcendence Stage], which appears to be only one level apart, but is actually many levels apart from each other?

It’s just that, except for the [Emperor of the End], the other guys are too weak, so everyone is unaware of what’s going on?

After all, for the [dominant stage], the [infinite stage] and the [transcendence stage] seem to be no different. They can kill it countless times with just a breath...

For this possibility.

After thinking about it for a while, Hector Colon finally didn't take it too seriously.

Even if there really are a lot of level gaps, even if there really is a gap in level, He still has no way...

at the same time.

Perhaps it was because Hector Colon was quite powerful, or perhaps it was because life was too boring, and the days of sitting on the [Emperor's Throne] and looking down on the world were too dull and peaceful, as calm as facing a pool of stagnant water every day.

Facing Hector Colon's words.

The [Emperor of the End] chose to preach in a calm tone:

"Is it difficult to understand?"

"However, you don't need to understand or comprehend anything. You don't even need to think too much. You just need to live and grow in the way you like. For this world, this is the main meaning of things."

"The reason why I established the so-called [Empire of the End] is simply because a relatively stable world situation is more conducive to the growth of the world and the growth of the residents within the world."

"I want to see more possibilities, to transcend certain limitations, to become complete, and you are the target of my expectations. I look forward to you being able to go one step further and even completely surpass me, and successfully reach a new realm..."

The world is one big petri dish.

And the [Emperor of the End] is the manipulator of this petri dish.

He hopes that some unimaginable results will emerge from this petri dish.

Even if that achievement has the potential to surpass Him and bring new changes to the entire world.

About this matter.

It's not just Hector Colon, in fact there are also some [Awakeners beyond the stage] who know it clearly.

Although they don't understand what the [Emperor of the End] wants to do, they all know one thing very well, that is, the [Emperor of the End] needs the world to grow in a relatively healthy way. Only in this way can greater possibilities be born, thus giving birth to certain completely unknown factors, making it possible for existences beyond the [Emperor of the End] to be born within the world.

As for who that existence is?

[Emperor End] doesn't care too much.

He was just looking forward to such a possibility.

Hector Colon also didn't care much.

He just needs the world to maintain overall peace.

Other insiders, some were also indifferent to the matter, not caring at all whether the so-called possibility could be born, while others were extremely concerned, wanting to shape it through various means, and then successfully obtain it, master it, and become a great existence that could be on par with the [Emperor of the End] or even surpass the other party...

In short.

Due to different ideas, everyone knows a little about the [Emperor of the End]'s thoughts. Basically, they all have completely different ideas and goals, and make various preparations based on this.

after all.

They all knew that as long as they didn't make things too troublesome, the [Emperor of the End], who was looking forward to more possibilities in the world, would generally not interfere with their actions, even if he knew that they wanted to rebel.
