"I... the king?" Nelson's head buzzed and he was shocked again.

"Nelson, I am not capable enough to rule a country." Doug looked at Nelson and said earnestly, "The forces in Lucerne are complicated.

If I become the king of Lucerne like I replaced Duke Lynch, the people of this country will surely be plunged into a war. So, it is most appropriate for you, the legitimate heir to the throne, to become the new king of the Kingdom of Lucerne."

Prince Nelson pursed his lips, his heart beating rapidly.

Is this good news?

This is good news!

With the support of a powerful madman like Holly, it should be easy to overthrow his father!

But.

From what Holly said, the country was only temporarily handed over to him for safekeeping. So, does that mean he would be a puppet king?

Doug's voice continued: "Nelson, you were there when I was formulating national policies for the Kingdom of Justice. After becoming king, you should know what to do, right?"

A puppet is a puppet! Becoming a puppet king is faster than waiting for his father to die and then inherit the throne...

Once he becomes king, and he finds a chance to kill Holly, he will be the true king of the Kingdom of Lucerne...

"King Holly, I know." Prince Nelson nodded excitedly after thinking about it countless times. "I will implement the national policy of the Kingdom of Justice in the Kingdom of Lucerne, provide the people with the most relaxed living environment, and strive to be a benevolent king like you."

"That's all?" Doug frowned.

"..." Nelson hesitated for a moment and said, "King Holly, as long as I can become the new king of the Kingdom of Lucerne, our two countries will become the closest allies."

"Anything else?" Doug asked.

Nelson gritted his teeth and said, "The Kingdom of Lucerne will provide an annual tribute to the Kingdom of Justice."

"You forgot the most important point." Doug looked at Nelson and smiled, "You forgot to tell the people of Lucerne that all national policies are formulated by me, the great King Holly. After my time in prison, I have vowed not to be an unknown person anymore. Only by taking me as an example will more noble people stand up and join me in protecting this dirty world."

Good name? Nelson's mouth twitched, and he quickly saluted to Doug, assuring him, "King Holly, don't worry, this is the most basic operation. I will publicize your greatness throughout the Kingdom of Lucerne. I will have people write your legend into books and distribute them throughout the country; make it into a play and tour it throughout the country; make it into a ballad and let all the bards sing it. I promise you that within a month at most, your name will be as dazzling as the sun in the sky."

Good boy! Just do it!

Douger nodded in satisfaction, stretched out his hand and drew out his Sword of Judgment, and said seriously: "Prince Nelson, please remember your promise today. If one day you break your oath, the Sword of Judgment will cut off your head and hang it on the city gate to warn the world."

"Don't worry, King Holly, I won't be stupid enough to offend a spokesperson for the gods." Nelson looked at the Sword of Judgment in Douger's hand and shrugged, "One encounter like this is enough."

…

No noble was willing to endure the humiliation of having their taxes halved and bowing to ordinary civilians.

In the letter, they described Holly's actions in detail and requested His Majesty Lucerne to find a way to get rid of Holly, who was possessed by the evil god, and restore peace to the empire.

As letters asking for help were sent out, Duger's reputation spread among the nobles of the Kingdom of Lucerne.

Many nobles wrote to the King of Lucerne, asking him to send troops to attack the rebellious Holly.

No one wants to see an ignorant, righteous ten-star warrior alive in the world.

Anyone who shakes their interests deserves to die, and ten-star warriors are no exception. Especially since there is a vague existence of gods behind Holly, it makes them even more uneasy.

…

Lucerne Imperial Capital.

King Hubble Lucerne urgently summoned the Pope and the president of the Magic Guild to discuss countermeasures with them.

The Pope's name was Rumen Scott, an old man in his eighties. His hair and beard were completely white, but there was not a single wrinkle on his face. Moreover, he was very strong and did not look like an old man.

The president of the Magic Guild is called Rag Gawain, also an old man in his seventies or eighties, but his body is much more hunched, and his whole body is hidden in the black robe. If you don't look carefully, you can't see his head.

"Your Majesty, throughout history, no orthodox god has ever bestowed divine power on an ordinary person who has nothing to do with him. Moreover, every god has his own territory. The sea god lives in the ocean and never interferes with matters on land."

The Pope said, "There is no doubt that Holly must have been possessed by an evil spirit. Only an evil spirit would disregard the laws of the world and do whatever it wants without restraint, playing with souls and playing with people's hearts."

"Your Holiness, I know that Holly is possessed by an evil god." King Hubble frowned and asked, "But how can we defeat a powerful evil god? In the letters of help from those nobles, Holly could defeat a nine-star spirit without even using his spirit. And his spirit is as vast as the sea, even Grand Duke Lin Qi was easily defeated by him. Some people say that only gods can defeat evil gods."

The Pope looked at the king and smiled confidently. He shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, you may not know much about gods. Except for a few demons in hell, all evil gods are low-level gods. They may be stronger than humans, but not much stronger. Most evil gods are just bluffing. There is no need for gods to take action. I am enough to defeat them."

"Your Majesty, we cannot take it lightly," said King Hubble.

“Your Majesty, rest assured. I have the staff and crown of oracle bestowed by the Sun God, as well as the robes bestowed by the gods that are immune to all magical erosion. Even ordinary messengers of God are no match for me, let alone a small evil god.” The Pope said, “Your Majesty, after I have arranged the affairs of the church, I will go to Baishi City to investigate the evil god’s rebellion.”

The president of the Magic Guild looked up at the Pope and said in a hoarse voice: "With His Holiness the Pope taking action, there is no need for an old fellow like me. My body has become increasingly decayed in the past two years, and I am no longer suitable for long-distance raids."

"President Rag, just stay here and manage your Magic Guild." The Pope glanced at the president of the Magic Guild and said with a smile, "After I defeat the evil god, I will go to the Magic Guild to help the president recuperate after I come back."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." The president of the Magic Guild nodded in thanks.

"You're welcome." The Pope nodded, looked at the king again, and said, "Your Majesty, a small evil god is not a concern. What we should really worry about is the devil of hell.

The evil gods have not appeared in many years. This time they suddenly appeared in the human world. It is very likely that the seal between the demon world and the human world has loosened. There is a great possibility that more evil gods will descend on the human world and eventually bring terrible disasters to the world..."
