52 – The Inner World
“Are you dead?”
The Imperial Palace of the Labyrinth Empire.
A luxurious room in the castle where the emperor lives.
There, Crown Prince Charon Labyrinth was lost in her thoughts.
“Who are you?”
The prince recognized someone’s death.
“Who the hell killed him?”
He was wondering who killed him.
“After.”
After much thought, the answer did not come.
A woman appeared out of the darkness and spoke to him.
“Master, what is inconvenient for you to worry about? Just give me an order and I’ll take care of it.”
She was a woman with a voluptuous body.
Her man would not be able to look at her and not give her a glance.
To her, her caron spoke calmly without giving her a glance.
“Is it Citri? The Eight Evil Dragons are dead.”
“Yes?!”
Sitri shouted in surprise at the shocking fact that came out of the master’s mouth.
instant noodle scks tho
And realizing that she had looked down on her master, she hurriedly shut her mouth.
Fortunately, the owner didn’t seem to care.
The owner was still in trouble.
Sitri asked the owner.
“If it’s the Eight Evil Dragon, isn’t it the snake that cursed the master? Who the hell is that snake…….”
Who was the Eight Dragons?
A monster that fought with the Goddess following the Demon God in the Age of Mythology and played with the Goddess’ forces.
A strong man who will not fall short even when compared to his master.
Who the hell is such a monster?
How did you kill him?
“I’m worried because I don’t know that.”
Dense demonic energy spewed out and clamped down on Sitri.
“I’m sorry.”
Realizing that she had asked the owner for the answer despite not being able to solve the owner’s troubles, Sitri bowed her head and begged her forgiveness.
The momentum soon dissipated.
Caron said.
“It has been done. Whoever killed it doesn’t matter now.”
The curse has been lifted.
The original power that had been sealed away for a long time was returning.
Now I don’t have to do this damn acting anymore.
“Move the plan forward. Sitry. Gather the demons. For his resurrection is now very near.”
“I will obey your command.”
My acting as the crown prince is now over.
Demon King Baal. He will now become the emperor and resurrect the Demon God.

The world has become very noisy.
It is because the emperor of the Labyrinth Empire, called the strongest nation on the continent, has died.
It was a well-known fact that he died due to a long illness.
So the emperor died, and the new emperor, the crown prince Charon Labyrinth, took the throne.
Since the only surviving child of the emperor was the crown prince, Charon Labyrinth was able to become the emperor without much check.
The appearance of a new emperor was enough to make the world go wild.
However, the tumultuous world fell into shock at the emperor’s declaration during the emperor’s coronation ceremony.
It was the day of the coronation ceremony.
The emperor’s crown was placed upon the head of the new emperor, Charon Labyrinth.
It was the moment when a new emperor was born.
Karon Labyrinth, who became emperor, stood up and turned around.
Then he walked forward as it was.
Arriving at the terrace, he held on to the railing and looked outside.
There, people gathered to celebrate the birth of a new emperor were creating crowds.
They were congratulating Karon Labyrinth by scattering the flowers they had brought across the sky.
Charon Labyrinth, who was watching the people like that, raised his hand and shouted with his magic power.
“Be quiet.”
No matter how great an emperor is, it is almost impossible to control a huge crowd with the power of a single person.
However, as if some kind of magic had been used, the people stopped all movements and fell silent.
Charon confirmed that all the people were silent.
“Dear people, nice to meet you. It is called Charon Labyrinth, who became the new emperor. I am truly grateful for coming to congratulate me on my coronation.”
Speaking formally, Charon looked around at the people and continued.
“Jim has been thinking about something ever since he became the crown prince. What do you think it is?”
The people are silent.
The thoughts of the crown prince and the thoughts of the people who have few things can’t be the same.
The people couldn’t even recall what the prince was thinking.
Karon didn’t ask for an answer.
He continued.
“This continent we live on is one. And within that continent are countless countries. Our Labyrinth Empire is one of them.”
The introduction is getting longer.
People’s curiosity is about to explode.
He keeps talking.
“There is only one continent, but many countries. I didn’t like it. So I thought. One continent. We want to build a country.”
After talking this far, the people whose heads were spinning a little began to turn pale.
The people who still do not know why did not understand what the emperor was saying, but everyone could not help but be surprised by the emperor’s words.
“Therefore, I declare war on all the countries of the continent. Envoys from all over the world who have come to congratulate me today, go and tell your king what I am saying.”
The new emperor Charon Labyrinth was talking to the Shinigami.
Your country will be visited by my army.
The envoys did not even think of handing over the presents they had brought and hurriedly moved to return to their homeland.
The Emperor of the Empire has gone mad.
The Empire has begun to move.
The Empire has declared unification.
Because I had to hurry up and inform my home country of all the facts.
The emperor’s declaration of continental unity.
That was enough to send the world into shock.
The Empire has turned the world into an enemy.
Other countries that oppose the empire gather to form a union.
There was also a country that went under the empire and became one with the empire itself.
In this way, countries moved for their own future.
The most noteworthy among them was Seongguk’s move.
From noble mtl dot com
The Holy Kingdom did not side with the Empire.
The reason was good enough.
Seongguk knew that demons had appeared in the empire.
The first is the Duke of Decaron.
The second is the Grand Duchess of Nyx.
They all belong to the Empire.
Of course, with the appearance of the demons, the empire suffered damage.
If you look at that alone, the Seongguk wouldn’t turn its back on you, but the new emperor’s unconventional move was a problem.
At a time when demons appeared twice, the emperor went mad and started a war.
I couldn’t help but doubt it.
Still, I wasn’t sure.
That’s why the Seongguk decided to keep the Empire in check, but not to attack the Empire together with other countries.
At the declaration of the new emperor, the world was plunged into war.

“Okay… ….”
I opened my eyes, clutching my brittle head.
Plain white ceiling.
It was a strange place.
Uh, this is a really strange place.
“Where are you?”
I started looking around to see where I woke up.
There was nothing.
It was a pure white space with nothing around.
The white house on the hill.
If there was a containment room there, would it look like this?
I’ve never been there, so I’m not sure, but for some reason it looked like this.
‘Is this a real mental hospital?’
In fact, everything I’ve experienced so far has been my fantasy, and maybe I’m suffering from mental illness? As I was thinking about that, I heard a voice from behind.
“You’re awake.”
A woman’s voice that is pleasant to listen to. Annoying voice. And a familiar voice.
I looked back.
There stood a beautiful woman with flowers in her hair.
It was as if the clothes were so light that even her inner flesh was showing through.
Hmm.
I didn’t really look at her.
But who is it?
Are you new to this?
Do you know where this is?
First of all, I asked the person in front of me.
“Who are you? Where else are you?”
“You really don’t know?”
A woman asking if she doesn’t know herself.
Is this someone I know?
No, I don’t remember.
It was the first person I saw.
“I don’t know. Where have we met before?”
She sighed and said.
“Haa, that’s me. Apostle.”
“No way?”
“Right. I am Aether, the goddess of light.”
“Am I dead?”
She passed on her divine powers to me and said that they became her gloves.
Then she stood in front of me in her original form, not her gloves.
It didn’t make sense.
‘Then she must have been hit by that arrow and died.’
It seemed that after being hit by the Eight Evil Dragons’ last attack, they came to heaven holding hands with the goddess.
So it must have returned to its original form.
“No. She’s not dead yet. Not yet.”
She says I’m not dead yet.
If I were alive, where would I be?
“Then, if you are still alive, where is this place?”
“This is the inner world of the apostle.”
“The inner world?”
“It is the place where the apostle’s emotions and heart are found.”
“Nothing?”
It is normal to have something in a world where my emotions and heart exist. But no matter how much I looked around, nothing seemed to be there other than Aether.
“Uh, that’s because of me.”
The figure of a goddess scratching her head and avoiding my gaze.
Involuntarily, her fist clenched.
