Crown of Chaos

PS: The emperor wishes everyone a happy Valentine’s Day!

Meeting the Lord of Mankind is a breathtaking yet dizzying experience.

In Aaron's eyes, the emperor's existence is like a bizarre curse, an indescribable terrifying temptation - you know that he is so dangerous and frightening, but you look at him so longingly, not wanting to have any chance of it. After looking away for half a second, when the barbarian at the junction of Eurasia stared at him with cold eyes, Aaron could feel the slight relief in his expression.

Just like an elder who saw a wanderer who finally returned home after traveling for who knows how many years, the Lord of Humanity looked at Aaron quietly.

The two seemed to have a tacit understanding, without asking or probing. The emperor just tapped his fingers, and the dark underground kingdom turned into a golden ocean of wheat waves. The two walked between the plump wheat ears, letting the delicate waves flow. The dense grain crops convey a faint tingling sensation in the fingertips and sleeves.

Large and small shacks are located in the middle of the river basin, along the place where the river passes. This is where the most primitive civilization of mankind was nurtured. Human beings who were still in the process of slash-and-burn farming were working in the black and yellow farmland, and the sky was bright. Located in the middle of the sky is the warm and dazzling sun.

Aaron looked at the villages in the distance. Human beings at this time were still so primitive. They wore the simplest clothes and used the simplest tools. They used shells as currency and lived a life of barter. They were poor but happy. Everyone has smiles on their faces and is full of hope for the future.

"It's been a long, long time since our last meeting, La." The Lord of Humanity looked at the village from a distance: "I once showed you the village where I live, just like last time, when Terra was still called Earth. Mankind’s first city was not that far away from here.”

"Plains of Mesopotamia, Mesopotamia, the banks of the Sakarya River, Your Majesty." Aaron followed closely behind the emperor with his hands behind his back. He did not dare to get too close, because the power of the sun would He was burned, but he did not dare to move too far away, as that would prevent him from hearing the Emperor's holy words.

"Whenever I recall the past 40,000 years ago, no matter how long it takes, I will be amazed by the human beings in the past. Such rich water sources and such diverse life gave birth to this wonderful race of humans. I have seen the vast universe There are endless miracles in the world, and I have witnessed the fall of glorious civilizations, but in my opinion, they are not as good as the miracles of human growth." The emperor looked into the distance: "Not far away, Lugar's Wu Rook is there, and Gilgamesh once fought the Bull of Heaven there. This is not the first time humans have come into contact with the evil god of Chaos."

Aaron couldn't help but smile as he listened to the emperor's words. This was the pride that came from the depths of the human race. Even after experiencing so much, this race still persisted to this day, but he still corrected the emperor's words. : "Your Majesty, my name is not La. In this life, my name is Aaron Salian. If you are talking about my previous life... I also have my own name. I can confirm that no one has ever used "La". Called me."

Unlike Aaron, the emperor never smiled. He just turned around and looked at Aaron with a slightly pensive expression: "La is the name of the sun god in ancient Egyptian mythology, the god king of the Egyptian god system. This is just A code name, just like the code name you once received, you were not called La until Waldo took you away from your mother at the age of four."

"You've heard the story, La, and you'll soon remember who you are, even though it was just a ghostly apparition."

Aaron was silent for a few seconds. He was a die-hard Hammer fan in his previous life. As he began to search his memory, a name immediately popped out of his mind, vivid and bright.

"La-Endymion, son of the Water Thief, Emperor's Guard, Tribune of the Troops, Acting Commander-in-Chief of the Webway War."

Aaron slowly spit out the name. It did not come from the memory of the previous life, but from some knowledge he had read.

The Lord of Humanity's expression was slightly startled, but then turned calm. He looked at Aaron and brushed the purple dragon emblem on his shoulder with his fingers. The Lord of Humanity's voice sounded like a bell, but with a hint of sigh: "A Tens of thousands of years have passed, and I’m very happy that we meet again, la.”

"You admit your mistake, Your Majesty, I am not pulling." Aaron emphasized stubbornly.

"You are him." The Emperor's eyes were distracted for a moment, and the Lord of Mankind looked at Aaron: "Recall, at the last moment of the Webway War, I asked you to leave quickly, and now you are chosen by the Four Gods of Chaos. , there is no need to explain the connection, you know it yourself."

Aaron was stunned at first. He looked at the Lord of Mankind with confusion, looking at the kind face shrouded in endless miracles and light. That face carried an extremely firm judgment. He knew that the Emperor's judgment was almost never wrong. .

He began to think.

This almost did not consume any time of Aaron. An explosive answer immediately appeared in his mind. The pupils of the Son of Chaos shrank to the size of a needle eye. After discarding all incorrect inferences, a terrifying answer emerged from under the water. .

Where there is no sound, there is thunder!

Ra-Endymion, son of a water thief, tribune of the Imperial Guard, one of the four giants of the Imperial Guard trusted by the Emperor, as a hero in the Webway War, at the end of the war, he single-handedly fought against the Emperor and Even the nemesis of the entire Holy Empire, the original demon Draconion, disappeared into the depths of the Webway!

The original demon, Draconion, was born as the first murder in the universe. In the myth of Creation, the elder brother murdered his younger brother just because of jealousy and hatred.

Human beings have killed countless times for survival in the history of evolution. They killed animals to survive, and they killed their own kind to survive. However, the murder of these brothers was indeed the first murder - not for survival, just because of their nature. of evil.

The hatred and crime brought about by this murder passed through the curtain of reality and surreality, forming the original evil in the warp - Draconion. It thrived on the negative emotions of mankind, and it absorbed mankind. The evil symbolizes the destruction of the Human Empire and the Emperor. Its existence is the Emperor's greatest nemesis. Even the supreme power of the Lord of Mankind cannot match Draconion.

Because it represents humanity's original sin, which the Emperor cannot defeat.

So, Ra took on the responsibility and dragged Draconion with him into the depths of the Webway, leaving the Imperium of Man and the Master of Mankind to survive.

And Aaron has always had deep doubts about why the Four Gods of Chaos chose him. No matter how much the Four Gods of Chaos do as they please, and no matter how unscrupulous they are, they still need a reason for choosing him, right?

Now the reason is self-evident!

Because I am La! The original demon, the emperor's nemesis, and the symbol of the destruction of the human empire - Draconion is sealed within his body!

So the four gods of chaos chose him, so the emperor called himself-La!

Throw away all the incorrect options and leave the one that seems least likely, and that’s the real answer.

"My loyal Imperial Guard, I am very happy that you have realized the truth." The Emperor nodded slightly, and his eyes gradually softened as he looked at Aaron: "Ra's soul has dissipated, but a part of him still affects you, which makes You persevered."

"That's it." Aaron also calmed down, and his attitude was a little cold: "No wonder, I found that there is something like a thought stamp in my brain, which will appear at a sudden time and forcefully change my mind. thinking.”

Looking back in hindsight, Aaron discovered that his logic would suddenly become strange. For example, when he met the regent princess twice, his thinking would take an unexpected turn and become submissive and unconditionally loyal.

He originally thought it was the remaining will of the mediocre and cowardly "Aaron Salian" before he awakened, but now everything makes sense, just like the imperial army's unconditional loyalty to the emperor, as Alice said Er spit out some "key words", and La's remaining will was also triggered, so he also showed similar loyalty to the princess.

What one person wants to convey, the other often knows without words. And both of them felt that it was better not to say those unsaid things. The Emperor didn't reveal much, and Aaron didn't need to double check.

These silent understandings are condensed into two words:

Loyal! Sincerity!

"You have experienced human nature." The Lord of Humanity saw that Aaron had fully understood. He continued: "Human beings are such a complex race. We always maintain a positive and optimistic heart. We sing about sacrifice, dedication, and great courage. …”

"The premise is that it is not your turn to dedicate and sacrifice yourself?" Aaron nodded. He followed the emperor and walked in the fields: "Just like I have listened to the story of Cormyr's ancestors who sacrificed their lives for the country countless times. And I longed for it, but when it came to me unconditionally dedicating myself to the kingdom, I was still dissatisfied in my heart.”

After the meeting with the Princess Regent at the Karadenai Manor, Aaron was dissatisfied and even angry. He felt that he had obviously paid a lot for the kingdom, so why was he not worthy of a fief?

But something in his mind prevented him from continuing to think about it. On the contrary, what he thought at that time was very simple.

People will take Aaron's act of self-dedication and sacrifice and denounce it as stupid and idiotic, just as they praise other people's sacrifice and devotion as a great human glory. This is all human nature.

"Yes, this is also human nature. The nature of arrogance, prejudice, and selfishness is deeply hidden in human DNA. This is the original sin of mankind." The emperor nodded, and the Lord of Humanity looked far away: "Now, you have seen the nature of human nature. Two-faced, your cousin... As you can see, he is an arrogant and selfish person. He likes to express himself and boast about himself. He lacks the corresponding talents but he is hypocritical and arrogant. You know exactly what he is like. He is biased against others...so you arrange a good job for him, give him a good life, and expect him to be satisfied."

"He gave me a huge surprise." Aaron's eyes showed a hint of relief: "This is also human nature. Deep in human DNA, there is also the glory of bravery, sacrifice, and pursuit of self-worth."

"Yes, you understand human nature, so I think it's time." The emperor's language was concise and blunt: "This is a very good environment. The influence of the remaining temples is deep underground, and the gods cannot sense it. I think It's time to reveal your true destiny."

"You once said that there is no God in this world." Aaron sneered.

"That's just an outdated rhetoric." The emperor's tone was slightly contemptuous: "Only Magnus would regard this incident as a reason for shock and scream about it, like a frightened African giant Like a feline, panicked, because of him, we lost too much, the Ten Thousand Husbands that I cherish, and my only true friend, Malcador."

Having said this, the Lord of Humanity's eyes lost focus. He looked at the sky, as if looking at a baby that had died prematurely, full of pain.

"So, is it Your Majesty's plan that I will appear in this world?" Aaron asked in a deep voice.

"...This is a world where many real gods exist." The emperor said absently: "In this place, you can better learn how to become a qualified god, the fifth god of chaos."

"Pfft~" Aaron couldn't help laughing when he heard this. He put his hands on his hips and laughed invisibly: "Hahahahahahahaha~ Your Majesty, this joke is so funny!"

"Do you know that this place is called the Forgotten Kingdom? Here, you want to become a god? Humph~"

Aaron didn't say anything, he just snorted.

"This is the right choice." The emperor met Aaron's sarcastic gaze: "You are here, Draconian is sealed in your body, and the attention of the four gods will be on you."

"There are many very powerful beings in this place. They are not afraid of the four gods of chaos like the ones in the galaxy. For example, the elf god named Corellon Rathrian, whose body in the universe sometimes faces him directly Any god of darkness can not fall behind...and can even defeat the prince of darkness." The emperor said: "This is the key to your ability to escape the control of the four gods of chaos in this world."

"Is this your plan? Your Highness? Use me to divert the attention of the Four Gods of Chaos and buy you more time?" Aaron understood what the emperor meant.

"Yes." The Lord of Humanity, who was handsome and profound, with a majestic face as standard as a knife and an axe, first nodded, and then shook his head: "But not entirely."

"La, you are my loyal imperial army. You should know very well that greatness is often only relative. The Milky Way is just a dust in the universe. In comparison, a small victory is great enough for a village. , and my victory in Ullanor is so small compared to the entire universe."

"But both are real, Your Majesty."

"There will always be those who will defend the value of knowledge, talent, or belief over empirical truth. But facts are immutable, no matter who or what knows them."

"Power always belongs to those who understand them. For those who are accustomed to small victories, every victory is great. And having a transcendent vision is my talent, and it is what you should have."

"Follow me, La." The emperor motioned for Aaron to follow, and the two of them walked into the village of the emperor's childhood. In the most primitive village, the birds on the treetops were singing, and the children gathered together to make People worked hard playing simple games, drying animal hides, making arrows from bones, weaving necklaces from shells, and making pottery from clay.

"Let me enlighten you once again and reveal your true destiny."
