The Heavenly Demon Can’t Live a Normal Life

Chapter 412: The Fall of Chronos (3)

It was a different situation.

The emperor who ruled the empire was alone without anyone escorting him.

‘Is it a trap?’

It was a valid question.

but.

Even though they expanded their senses to check the surroundings, they could not detect any aura of living beings except for the emperor.

It was the same with magical energy.

I couldn’t understand the other person’s intentions, but Roman Dmitri didn’t care.

whatever you have prepared

You won’t be able to stop yourself.

As Roman Dmitri stepped inside, Emperor Kronos let out a muffled voice.

“… From the beginning, I expected this to happen. The stupid Marquis of Memphis thought that if he struggled to the end, he would find a way to live, but that was just a vain hope. Roman Dmitry. How could something like the Marquis of Memphis stop something Alexandre feared?”

onetime.

Emperor Kronos was a great person.

Even as an emperor, he rose to the level of an aura swordsman, and everyone said he was gifted with the greatest talent ever, but now he looked so shabby.

Even as he spat out the words, he kept gasping for breath.

It wouldn’t be strange if he died anytime, but his eyes shone sharply in the darkened eyelids.

“I’ve been wanting to check you out myself. Why does the existence that erodes my consciousness feel infinite reverence for you? Alexander is not a person to be respected and feared. A monster that created Aura and dominated the continent for a long time. He considered himself the best, but to you, Roman Dmitry, he became an infinitely small human being.”

Possession.

Emotions were shared.

I didn’t know what kind of life Alexander had led, but at least I read the agitation of emotions that arose whenever Roman Dmitri was mentioned.

It was shocking.

Aleksandr is a monster beyond human limits, but in his relationship with Roman Dmitri, he mentally accepted the position of absolute weakling.

that.

It was a surrender of the heart.

It wasn’t from the result of winning or losing, but Alexander unconsciously considered Roman Dmitri to be the top.

“Actually, I still haven’t found out the truth about you. What is certain is that a person named Roman Dmitri defeated Alexander and captured the capital of Kronos in just one day. Alexander’s awe was not simply an unfounded feeling, but that he had no choice but to sincerely acknowledge the existence of you.”

admired

Roman Dmitry.

What was considered impossible has become a reality.

Wandering in the deep sea, he came to a conclusion as soon as he regained his life.

“I, Emperor Cronus, acknowledge your existence. You deserve me to destroy this Kronos.”

I opened my eyes.

Squeezing out his life force, he screamed in a fit of rage.

“A new absolute. Take my head in front of everyone!”

* * *

Day of the day.

I still couldn’t forget it.

Emperor Cronus, who had lost consciousness for a while during the coming-of-age ceremony, suddenly woke up one day.

“… what is this?”

Several years from the coming-of-age ceremony.

time has been deleted

In his head, how he had been living was vividly recorded, but it was not all thought and judged by Emperor Cronus himself.

Like a puppet controlled by countless threads. Moved by someone’s intention.

As the years passed, people regarded Emperor Cronus as a symbol of fear and tried to solve the problem even belatedly thinking that things were wrong.

but.

When he got out of the set frame, Emperor Cronus’s consciousness was sucked back into the abyss.

rumble.

I was out of breath.

It was frustrating.

In pitch-black darkness, Emperor Cronus lived like a spectator looking into the lives of others.

The puppet of the unconscious lived the life that Alexander had commanded him to live, and sometimes he moved himself.

As the possession was repeated, he realized the devastating reality.

Alexander made himself a puppet, and Emperor Cronus had no way to get out of the abyss due to his powerful magic.

Mind was gnawed.

I was wasting my time like an idiot.

Even as he looked at his life with his eyes wide open, there was nothing he could do.

Then one day.

A strange thing happened.

Emperor Kronos, who gained control of his body, forced his voice to correct his mistake.

“… is there anyone there Who asked if there was none!”

Called people.

Then.

“This war was started for an unfair reason. I will feel responsible and declare a truce.”

The war is over.

At the time, he believed it was the right thing to do and thought it was the only way to fight against Alexander who had taken over his consciousness.

It was the truth about Cronus that people did not know.

The sudden declaration of truce that put an end to the First Continental War was brought about by the Emperor Cronus, the owner of the body, gaining control over consciousness.

Again.

Consciousness plunged beyond the abyss.

Emperor Cronus, thinking that he had little time left, gritted his teeth and shouted in his heart.

‘Alexander. If, at any time, I get out of the yoke of this heinous life, I will do the right thing as the emperor of Cronus. So I will hold on to the end. Even in the abyss, my consciousness will not be extinguished, and I will wait for an opportunity to be given to me even for a moment. Your world won’t last forever, just like I declared a truce at my will, even if only for a moment.’

in the abyss.

lost consciousness

Meanwhile, Emperor Cronus came up with just one name.

‘Roman Dmitry.’

someday.

If he gets his life back, it will surely be because of the existence Alexander fears.

* * *

And now.

Emperor Kronos said.

“The world has fallen into chaos due to the Kronos Empire. Society collapsed and many people had to live a hellish reality. As the emperor of the Kronos Empire, I have no intention of avoiding that responsibility. It was not something I decided or ordered, but it is an undeniable fact that Alexander is also a man of Kronos.”

Alexander.

He was clearly evil.

Although he had planned everything independently, it could not be said that the atrocities he had committed were unrelated to the Kronos Empire.

No matter what.

He was also the emperor of Kronos.

Alexander, who created Aura and laid the foundation for the empire, was a symbolic figure who could be said to be Cronus himself.

How can you deny such an existence?

If people are looking for a target of resentment in the harsh reality, they have no choice but to mention Alexander and Cronus, where he was born and raised.

so that.

Emperor Cronus accepted reality.

“I went through many thoughts in the abyss. What I, who has lived as a puppet for the rest of my life, must do in order for this country and the world to move in the right direction. The conclusion I came to after much thought was that I had to die meaningfully. Due to repeated possession, my vitality has already reached its limit. Rather than desperately trying to maintain this life that I don’t know when I will die, I want to finish my life worth living, which has been ugly all my life.”

Farr.

My body trembled.

My eyelids kept closing, and I wanted to vomit everything right away because of the strong energy rising up from within.

Not yet.

Not yet.

Since there was so much to say, Emperor Cronus forcibly held on to the ceremonial cord and told the reason why he was left here alone.

“Kill me in front of everyone. Take all the glory of the Kronos Empire by killing me, the representative of the Dark Ages. Empire’s Fame, Empire’s Territory, My people. Whoever punishes me for driving the continent to ruin, like Alexander, will be able to take it all.”

after death.

A being who will rule this land after him.

Choosing the future of Kronos was the best the dying Emperor Cronus could do.

In fact, it was unfair.

It was not easy to accept the fact that he had done nothing wrong but had to be sacrificed in this devastating reality.

If given one chance.

If there were days left to live, Emperor Cronus would have tried to continue his life somehow, even by bowing his head and swearing allegiance.

knowing that it is impossible.

Accepted reality.

however.

“I decline your offer.”

The reply shocked Emperor Cronus.

* * *

Emperor Kronos.

He was a man with many stories.

His situation, his decision, I know that nothing is easy, but there is no reason to listen to what he wants.

“… what the heck does that mean?”

Emperor Kronos asked in a trembling voice.

Just a suggestion.

The opponent had nothing to lose.

He said that he would sacrifice his head and die as a symbol of evil, but why did he reject such an offer?

said Roman Dmitry.

“People sometimes fall into that illusion. The illusion that you can decide something for yourself. Emperor Kronos. You are a history of defeat. Because the emperors of Kronos in the past, including you, were incompetent, they were ruled by Alexander, and innocent people had to bear the damage intact. But why should I inherit your will? If you hadn’t put a knife to your throat, your words might be persuasive. But right now you don’t have any other options.”

“Roman Dmitry! I’m not talking about winning or losing. My heart to accept death, my decision to admit defeat. Is it so ridiculous to you!”

I opened my eyes.

He vomited out his strong emotions in a seething rage.

understood.

For Emperor Cronus, that decision would have been the best.

“So it is an illusion. For losers, reality is bound to be absurd.”

past life.

Roman Dmitry rose from the bottom to the top.

Unlike Emperor Cronus, he did not live the life of a ruler who could decide something every time.

“Emperor Kronos. You were given the life of a decision maker from birth, and that’s why you regard this situation as abnormal. Most people live irrational lives. Because he was a commoner, because he was not born with talent. They deal with the mistakes made by decision makers and accept them as normal. Your life right now is your situation. It is an irrational reality that you have to accept. From the moment Cronus failed to control the disaster called Alexandre, you are not a pitiful being living a miserable life alone, but just a loser like other people.”

The story of Emperor Kronos.

It wasn’t sublime.

Although he could be pitiful, there was no reason to make his life special.

at last.

he was just defeated

He gave in to Alexander and lost control of his own life.

It was clear that it was a unfair and miserable story for the person himself.

Born as an heir to the Kronos Empire, which had already been swallowed up by a huge plan, it was unfortunate that his life was swallowed up without a chance to resist.

However, if you change your identity, you have not lived a miserable life.

Unlike Kevin, who was born as a weakling and took the life of being eaten for granted, Emperor Cronus at least had the right to decorate the end of his life because he was born as an heir to the imperial family.

That is.

It’s true.

so it wasn’t accepted.

The fact that Emperor Cronus made this decision at any time did not want others to glorify it.

“History should not feel sorry for today. You will remain an incompetent emperor, ruled by Alexander, and no noble sacrifice for the empire will be remembered. Then people will want a leader who is strong and will not be shaken by any threat. That is the future I wish for. This moment, when you are not allowed any room for beautification, will exist entirely for me.”

“… what is that?”

Emperor Kronos’s pupils shook.

Not even once.

I had never thought like Roman Dmitri.

It is no different now, but he is not allowed the right to control this situation.

“Emperor Kronos. You die a helpless death in a place where no one will remember you.”

Flash.

blown the neck

Emperor Kronos.

It was a hopeless and shabby end for him.

* * *

The floor was stained with blood.

Taking his gaze away from the shabby strewn corpses, Roman Dmitri walked outside without regret.

which one

You might call yourself cruel.

It is because the Emperor Cronus, who accepted death at the end and lived his whole life in the abyss, did not allow even the end desired.

But as a leader, compassion and reality had to be separated.

No matter how strange the story he had, it was impossible to know what kind of ripple effect the story he would leave behind would have in the future.

last one.

It makes sense because there is no next page.

There was no reason to leave room to glorify the past of a loser in the future he would build.

When you think about it, it was a very sad existence.

Others were given a chance to decide their lives, but Emperor Cronus was in a reality where he would not even be given such a chance.

When he faced Roman Dmitry without running away.

Not dragging him around like a dog and killing him was the least courtesy he could show to an enemy who stayed there until the end.

Come out.

Lucas came over and said.

“I found traces of the Marquis of Memphis. It looks like he hid himself in a secret room.”

the near future.

The Marquis of Memphis will face a devastating reality.

Unlike Emperor Cronus, the reality that he would never die gracefully.

Roman Dmitry said coldly.

“Guide me. I will go myself.”
