I play a Evil God in Otome Game

Chapter 99: Chapter 98: Morgana is back(1/?)

Time passed quickly in a short period. Within a month, everything had changed dramatically during the days following The First Supper. Firstly, four major events occurred, each in an unexpected way.

First, the war had shifted significantly in favor of Erntestadt. The Creation Church had risen much stronger than anticipated. Every small and large battle had been won. Fortresses were destroyed and conquered.

Franburg had fallen into such a dire situation that Lord Holger's reputation had been officially ruined. It was no secret that Holger, who had lost his honor and dignity throughout Drachenreich, was planning to flee.

Lord Wilfried's army was close to completely conquering enemy territory. The only remaining place was Franburg.

Holger's army had been scattered. The Lichtenfels army had surprisingly not arrived. No one knew why Lord Jülgen had done this. He had not adhered to the agreement.

Naturally, this caused Lord Holger to curse, which was enough to embarrass him. However, Lord Jülgen didn't even care. No one could understand what he was thinking.

Meanwhile, the war had reached its final stage. Once the armies entered Franburg, there would be no more battles. During this process, Morrigan had joined the Church leadership full-time and swiftly moved from house to house, preaching and treating people equally and kindly like a Saint.

As a result, the Creation Church had set a new record, increasing its followers to 160,000. While this number might seem small, consider this: the Light Church was the second largest religion in the city and only had 400,000 followers. The largest religion was the Twelve Great Gods with 1.2 million followers.

Considering that Erntestadt's population was between 2 to 3 million, these numbers were good. The rest of Erntestadt's population consisted of 320,000 followers of the Ice Goddess, and the remaining people were atheists or worshippers of other pantheons.

The existence of so many religious institutions could be dangerous and unstable, but Lord Wilfried was managing things well and was harshly suppressing any uprisings.

The Creation Church had also received an additional 10 million gold from the Morvos Consortium, successfully surpassing other religions in funding in a short time.

Like the Creation Church, the Morvos Consortium was rapidly growing in power. In particular, the Morvos Bank was becoming a trend among the nobles.

Seth had made a decision to establish the place where all the money was kept at the legendary Dwarven mountain, Gram Mountain. Gram Mountain was a place filled with chaotic mana.

The security was immense. Therefore, Seth had set up a vault inside the mountain. He made an agreement with the Dwarves to ensure the place was protected. It was completely impossible for the Dwarves to steal anything.

The Dwarves were extremely reliable. This pleased Seth even more. With the vault inside the mountain, a space-time spell allowed quick communication with the vault.

As a result, banking was rapidly expanding and was now nearly synonymous with Morvos. Recently, they were very close to surpassing the 100 million gold mark.

The fast-food chain had performed better than expected. It was the number one choice for people. Moreover, since meals were delivered to your doorstep by Raven, it quickly became normalized and widespread among the people.

It was especially popular for those in need. Hamburgers, pizza, pasta, and desserts...

The other major event, of course, was related to the Holy Mary Kingdom. The Elves had cut off trade with humans, putting the Kingdom in a difficult situation.

There were no signs of the King, and the Queen's whereabouts were unknown. The Elves were acting harshly and in isolation this time.

The Elf Council had been completely slaughtered. This was an unprecedented event in Elf history. In one night, the governing body of the Elves had been destroyed. The only remnants were the decapitated bodies.

Naturally, the Elves blamed humans. There were rumors that the Elf Queen was preparing her armies, but this was not certain.

While the Elves were few in number, their strength was not to be underestimated. As long as the Tree of Life existed, the Elves were incredibly strong. Even human armies would not last long against them.

Moreover, they almost had an army of domesticated animals. They were almost unbeatable in forested areas.

The Church had shifted its attention to the southern continent. This was great news for Seth. At least the Church's movement westward would be delayed even further.

Of course, they would eventually notice the changes in the West and attack. But by then, Seth would be fully prepared for war, as would the Light Goddess. All that was needed was time.

The last major news was that the Wargan people were preparing for war. Their army was more active than ever.

Winter had arrived, but it was still not settled. The Wargan people would strike when winter was at its harshest and most advantageous. When the winter covered everything, and the veil of the Winter Goddess turned the earth white, that would be the time.

The Wargan would not miss this opportunity and would become a serious problem for the Church. This would not be a normal war. It would be a Holy War between the Winter Goddess and the Light Goddess...

The Wargan's greatest desire had always been to create a Wargan Empire. Their goal was not simple: they wanted to rule the entire continent.

The shamans had all their power behind them, and their wild armies were as fierce as raging waves. Since the kingdom was in the midst of a civil war, the Church of Light was going to defend with all its might, and it was highly likely that they would win, at least stopping the invasion of the Wargans.

At least, that was how it had been in the Otome game. Ever since Seth arrived, things had changed shockingly, but the reappearance of such a significant event showed that it would end the same way as before.

It had been the same in the Otome game. They had attacked in the winter and been defeated. This time would be no different.

Seth was certain the Church would weaken, but there was another thing to consider. This wouldn't be enough to bring about the Church's demise. Even after all these wars, the Church would still have the power to crush the West.

Seth could never allow this. No matter what, the Church had to fall to its weakest state, so when Seth attacked them, they would be destroyed.

On top of that, the Trust armies were now completely under Seth's control. Though it wasn't enough to take Drachenreich, it was still good enough.

At least, Seth had the most powerful army in Drachenreich. After Franburg was defeated, Seth would quickly take control of the kingdom. There was no time to wait.

The royal family would die, Morrigan would become the Holy Empress, and then she would move to conquer the entire West. Seth was greedy. He wanted the West.

He wanted to be the true ruler of the new Drachenreich Empire, conquer the entire continent, and be revered like a true God by millions of devout followers.

Despite needing to threaten, destroy, or subjugate some people, Seth had already made a long list. Especially the Lord of Lichtenfels was a thorn in his side.

The Nobles' Council of the Holy Mary Kingdom, the Prince, high-ranking members of the Church, the Hades Sect, the 12 Great Gods' human organizations, local Church leaders, small and large Gang Lords, merchants, duchies, small counties, large corporations, powerful and popular people...

This list went on and on. These were the people who must not be left alive at the earliest opportunity. There was no mercy. If necessary, Seth would carry out a genocide, but these people could not survive.

Now, Seth's first move would be to kill the royal family. Eden, his ally now, had accepted this. Although Eden was the Princess and General of this Kingdom, she had no loyalty to the King.

This naturally played into Seth's hands. He quickly moved toward the Royal Palace, his shadow-like figure slithering in the darkness of the night.

Seth soon managed to enter the Palace and made sure all the servants were absent. He slowly advanced.

When he reached the King's room, his eyes first settled on the gray-haired, bearded man at the edge of the bed, then moved to the red-haired, mature woman. He moved forward without hesitation for a moment. As his shadowy form began to enter the King's eyes, nose, and ears, the King's body trembled quickly.

"Ah..."

The King opened his eyes and suddenly jumped out of bed, causing the Queen to panic and wake up. Anneliese woke and opened her eyes. "Wilhelm? Are you alright? What happened?"

King Wilhelm's eyes briefly flashed red, but just as quickly, it faded. Wilhelm stood emotionlessly, not paying attention to his wife.

"Wilhelm? Wilhelm!" Anneliese said sharply, sitting on her knees and looking at Wilhelm. "What happened to you—"

Before she could say more, suddenly Wilhelm, under Seth's control, grabbed the Queen's throat. The Queen screamed, but it was too late. Seth easily broke her neck and let her fall like a puppet.

"One is gone. Now it's time to set the plan in motion," Seth said with a sinister smile. His smile grew even wider when the door suddenly burst open.

"Your Majesty! Are you alright!?" The person who entered was a tall knight. Seth controlled Wilhelm's body. He got out of bed and calmly looked at the knight.

"Knight, do you see what has happened to the Queen?" Wilhelm said. The knight, entering the room, looked at the Queen, who was dead in the bed, with concern.

"The Goddess of Light told me to kill her for being an infidel. I followed her orders, and she promised me Heaven," Wilhelm's grin took on a more devilish form as his eyes almost emptied of human emotion.

The young knight trembled. His eyes widened in disbelief. Wilhelm's reputation among the people was very good. He was said to be a kind and thoughtful man! But what the knight saw was not that. Wilhelm was practically a monster.

"This—"

The knight was shocked as Wilhelm suddenly disappeared, and he flew backward, crashing into the wall. When Wilhelm reappeared, the knight was terrified by this power.

"I will keep you alive so you can see everything," Wilhelm said calmly. As the young knight's eyes closed, the last thing he saw was Wilhelm's red-glowing eyes. Terrifying and ominous...

As the young knight fainted, Seth did not stop. He quickly killed the other knights who tried to find out what had happened and showed no mercy to anyone who crossed his path. Servants, butlers, gardeners—all perished as Seth ruthlessly slaughtered the NPCs.

After throwing the young knight's body outside, Seth set the palace on fire. The people inside, including the bodies, screamed as the fire spread toward the city. Seth showed no mercy. People would not die. Only the buildings would disappear, that was all.

"I hope you don't disappoint me, my friend..."

Seth said calmly. Then Wilhelm's body exploded, and Seth quickly left the place. What he left behind was a burning palace and countless dead.

Seth had allowed people to die as painlessly as possible. Now, everything that remained was in Eden's hands...
