Chapter 1087: Becoming an Overlord. 2
The Emperor's soldiers, the Dragonoids, were warriors genetically modified to be superior and to serve The Empire.
The rules of Hell had also been changed. From today onwards, the most heinous crime in The Empire was treason against The Emperor. The crime of treason would immediately sentence you to a direct passage to the deepest pits of Hell, and your Soul would never find peace, only eternal torment.
Of course, Victor had not changed his ideology. The abuse of minors, whether they were boys or girls, was also a heinous crime. Non-consensual forced advances on both sexes were also a heinous crime. Experimentation on the citizens of The Empire was also a heinous crime. Racial prejudice also fell into this category due to having so many different Races in one place.
Races that, until then, had grudges against each other, no matter if you were a Demon, Angel, Werewolf, Vampire, or Witch, you are a citizen of The Empire, and as a citizen of The Empire, you must be treated with respect.
Assassinations and internal conflicts had another type of law that would be applied only by the executors of The Emperor's Will, soldiers whose sole function was to deal with the affairs of The Empire.
They cannot be corrupted because they were created through clones, they cannot be bribed because their faith lay in The Emperor, and they already had the best benefits. They possessed a set of Powers that helped them see through falsehoods, sense the emotions of individuals, and minor Power of Telepathy, capable of allowing the user
to read the mind of the offender.
They were the perfect law enforcement officers created to maintain order in The Empire.
Of course, these agents were just the 'surface' ones. There were several other forces of The Emperor at play, but the public didn't need to know that.
On the second day of Victor's reign as The Emperor of Humanity, the currency called Knull, which already existed in Hell, was introduced as the common currency, and the entire monetary system was reformulated so that this currency would be used throughout Imperial territory.
The Knull was like a dollar, but conversions could not be made. If you were a billionaire in dollars before, none of that mattered. Everyone would start from scratch, and only those who helped The Empire before would have a total of 30,000 Knull to
start over.
Several Imperial Academies were created throughout the territory to welcome future generations, and these academies welcomed students from the ages of 6 to 24. Exceptional students, or 'geniuses, would be taken from the normal students and would be moved to a special program focused entirely on developing their talent.
The entire education system of the past was thrown in the trash and completely revamped to suit many different Races.
The grading system was also thrown in the trash because it only made students seek grades, not knowledge itself, which just made them mindless workers.
A new knowledge system was implemented, and in this system, students were evaluated according to their knowledge. From Elementary school to High School, there was a knowledge ceiling that all students needed to achieve, and they could only advance to the next year if they demonstrated having learned all the necessary knowledge.
The future was with the younger generation, and Victor understood this. So, to implement his ideologies, he needed to start with the young, and having young people of many different Races attend the same environment would solve most of these problems.
By implementing this new knowledge system, students would be more knowledgeable than most.
By implementing the genius program, they would separate the diamonds from the trash.
Due to the importance of the youth for the future, the entire academic system of The Empire as a whole was placed in the hands of The Emperor's Wives, specifically, Hestia, The Dragon Goddess of The Home, and Metis, The Dragon Goddess of Wisdom.
To facilitate the travel of so many people, teleportation portals were spread at key points throughout The Empire. This system would connect the entire territory of The Empire in all Dimensions and planets.
Do you want to visit one of the Cities of Hell or some planet conquered by The Emperor? Just pay a few Knull and be there in the blink of an eye.
Travel between The Emperor's territory was expensive, ranging from 500 to 50,000 Knull, depending on the location and distances. Travel between Galaxies in the future would be even more expensive, but this value would decrease depending on the traveler's level of contribution to society and their loyalty.
You could get up to 99% discount, making it almost free.
The Empire had no shortage of resources, and Victor could easily create more of them, so they were not concerned with profit but with developing the mentality of being loyal, showing results, working for The Empire, and being rewarded.
Effort we no longer neolase ne it une hafora and thera ume no nanotism ovsent for
The Emperor's Family. Everyone was equal before The Empire, and what made you different was your level of competence.
Dissatisfied? Be Better, The Empire offers a wide range of tools to improve.
There was no room for Beings who just complained and wanted everything to be given to them for free in The Empire.
On that day, there were several changes that covered all spheres of The Empire, including reforms, and the creation of temples of the Religion of The Blood God that spoke of all the Gods, and about The Emperor more 'deeply'
In the end, these were just basic things that were common knowledge for the most important Beings in this world but were unknown to others.
Knowing that The Emperor had once been a Human and that he'd become so strong with just effort, talent, and luck was incredible.
Of course, some parts were romanticized, especially when it spoke of the Goddesses who were the Emperor's Wives... For example, a good portion of the backstories of Violet, Agnes, and Natashia needed to undergo slight changes that were consistent with the real information, mixing truths with lies.
This was necessary, considering that the women in the past were... Hmm... Quite intense.
This rapprochement between Gods and Mortals had an effect. The Gods are watching us, and death is no longer a mystery. If you died, you now knew for a fact where you would go.
In the temple, there was an illustrated holographic board that showed everything that occurred when you died. If you were 'bad', you would go to Hell, and if you were 'good',
you would go to Heaven.
What defined 'Good' and 'Evil' were created by the strong. This was a good example of that, and Victor completely capitalized on the Mortals' fear of death.
Oh yes, he completely ignored the Primordial's System, and ensured that all his people would go directly to an afterlife on his terms.
No more Souls would be going to the Primordial of Souls. Will he be upset? Tell him to talk to Jeanne's brother, Victor didn't care anymore.
Not to mention that doing this now was not a problem. After all, compared to all the Sectors, the percentage of Souls that Victor was taking did not even reach 0.00020% of all sentient Souls in the Universe.
The High Priestess was doing a masterful job of converting new believers. However, they were still not as trustworthy as the old believers who immediately gained benefits in the new Empire.
All those who had contributed before had already gained Level Three Citizenship,
which gave them a lot of benefits.
Citizenship Levels showed how much you had contributed to The Empire, with the maximum level being seven, which gave countless benefits.
At Level Seven, you got practically everything for free in The Empire due to discounts, except for special things like civilian spaceships, new technologies, new weapons, new armor, etc. Which, even with discounts, were still expensive.
Everyone in The Empire had the right to carry a weapon to defend themselves. After
all, Victor was the God of Martial Honor, so he would not take this right away from
anyone.
Any weapon purchased in The Emperor's territory was automatically registered by the numerous Artificial Intelligences that Akasha controlled.
"He who raises a weapon towards another must be prepared to suffer the consequences of that action." This warning was given to all individuals who purchased weapons of any kind.
After all, owning a weapon was a responsibility that few were truly willing to shoulder.
On the third day, a shock occurred throughout The Empire... The introduction of The
Healing Chamber.
From today on, the weaker Races no longer needed to fear the loss of limbs, strange diseases, or even genetic defects.
All of this could be solved with this Healing Chamber. It was a miraculous technology...
and at the same time expensive.
This was intentional so that Beings would not lose their fear of getting hurt. The
Healing Chamber was to be used as a last resort. After all, The Empire's medical
technology was outstanding.
Victor understood very well that the consequences of actions should not be minimized. Only in this way would these individuals become good warriors.
By being afraid of getting hurt and being immobilized in a battle, you learn to dodge
and defend.
By being afraid of dying, you feel the desire to fight and overcome obstacles. Losing 'fear' was losing the will to live.
As the God of Fear, Victor understood this very well. There was a good reason why
fear was one of the oldest emotions of all Beings. It was a great motivator. Even with the 'discounts' of the Citizenship Level, the Healing Chamber was still expensive. After all, this technology allowed you to bring someone back from the brink of death even if they were missing arms, legs, and parts of their internal organs. As long as the Soul was in the body, they would be cured.
Several laws regarding this item were put in place. For example, in times of war, the money charged for using these items on warriors was significantly reduced. Regulations on how many uses a person could have of the chamber were also applied. The use limit was one per year, and in times of war, the limit would be raised to three.
For ordinary people, this meant that they would have one chance of not dying, and even if they got into debt for it, it was better than if they had died.
Some immediately wanted to use the Healing Chamber. Even if they got into debt, they wouldn't care, but it wasn't necessary.
On that day, everyone who had any problems with their bodies were completely restored, but it was not done through using the Healing Chamber, but by one of the Emperor's Wives, Jeanne Elderblood.
She simply appeared in the sky above the Imperial Capital, and used Mass Healing that
covered the entire Empire. On that day, everyone who was sick, disabled, or weak was reborn completely healthy.
"Be grateful for The Emperor's kindness." These were her last words before
disappearing into the sky.
On that day, the High Priestess had an enormous mass of believers converting, a
situation that put a smile on her face.
On the fourth day, there was another shock, but this time, in entertainment culture. Several works that had been lost due to doomsday returned to Humanity. The Emperor's Wife, the Dragon Goddess, Pepper Elderblood, enthusiastically
returned 'culture' to the world.
And many could not help but notice that several works, such as that of a certain green-eyed wizard, a blond-haired ninja, and a certain sci-fi fantasy with a lightsaber, had no sequels. They had a 'perfect ending' that respected the original old work but had a few small things changed. The blond ninja actually became the village chief after defeating the villain with eye problems, thus creating a good family and being a
present father to his two daughters.
The green-eyed wizard stayed with his friend, knowing everything, and had the family
he always
wanted.
The hero who fell into darkness was laid to rest next to his beloved, a sad ending for
the former hero, but more emotional. In the end, he returned to being the hero he once was, even if only for a few minutes.
These changes were clearly an intentional gesture that left many men and women in
tears of happiness.
The return of... 'Adult Drawings... That same day, was something very celebrated, even
more than some of the small changes in these works. Of course, just as there were completely excluded... Oh, the tentacles were also excluded.
Women and men were so happy that they started calling Pepper the Goddess of
Culture, Art, and Passion,
"Goddess of Culture and Art, I can understand, but why the Goddess of Passion?"
Jeanne asked her Sisters as she looked at the update feed. "...Well, because of her huge badonkas." Maria deduced.
"..." The girls looked at Pepper, precisely speaking, towards her 'badonkas' that
quivered with minimal effort.
"Make sense. Several said, nodding their heads.
"Mou! Stop talking nonsense! As if some of you have any right to talk about breasts!
Some of you are the same size as me! They're calling me that because I brought Hentai back! It's not something to be happy about!" Pepper fumed. Originally, the titles they wanted to call her were Goddess of Otakus, Goddess of
Hentai, or something like that. But out of fear of The Emperor, after all, they were talking about his Wife, everyone instinctively called her the Goddess of Culture, Art, and Passion.
"Are you a cow by any chance? Why are you shouting 'Mou' around here?" Lacus
retorted as she slapped her Sister's assets.
"Kyaaa, don't slap me there!" While the more modern people applauded Pepper, the older ones applauded Siena.
After all, just like her Sister, she had also brought culture back.
But it was ancient culture, the arts of ancient artists, such as the Mona Lisa, that was
lost on the Day of Judgment, original classical music, the original scriptures that were lost, and various historical objects of Humanity that were also restored. Just like Pepper, Siena also gained titles such as Goddess of Art, Goddess of Knowledge, and Goddess of Culture.
Titles that Siena didn't particularly care about since it was not like these were a Divine
Concept. It was just people talking nonsense.
"Remember, Siena, Faith has Power," Aphrodite warned when she realized what Siena was thinking. "When thousands of Mortal Beings gather and pray to a Being with a certain Concept in mind, that God can awaken that Divinity. Because of this, Victor is completely controlling our public appearances to have the intended effect." Jeanne appearing at that time in the sky of the entire Empire and healing everyone
was not a deliberate move by Jeanne. It was by Victor's Order, as he was cultivating future Divinities for his Wives.
"... Darling is scary. Every action he takes has three or four reasons behind it." Siena
sighed.
Aphrodite just laughed a little.
On the fifth day, there was another shock... A planet was colonized! Everyone, regardless of Race, went to the television to watch the news from The Empire, and if this were a cartoon, everyone would have their eyes wide open and their mouths falling to the floor due to the absurdity of what they were hearing. It wasn't only one planet, but three planets were completely conquered! Alien civilizations they had never seen before were seen on TV and the efforts of The Empire's Elite Soldiers in the 'peaceful' retaking of control of these planets. Seeing the Dragonoids, with their absurd height, killing alien monsters, something
that could only be seen in Sci-Fi, made the children look on in admiration and the older ones in fear.
Once again, the fear and admiration of The Emperor grew throughout the population. On the sixth day, nothing major happened. The repercussions of the news from the
previous days were still fresh in everyone's minds, and all anyone could talk about was
this.
On the seventh day, another event occurred that completely shook the hearts of the citizens, in this case, specifically the 'conquered Gods'.
The Emperor, Victor Elderblood, marched with all his military Power except for the
most special ones like his Leviathans, or those he considered a trump card that no one should know about.
Seeing those gigantic warships, fully armed Demons, Dragonoids, The Emperor's
Elites, and Dragons flying in the sky made the hearts of the Gods tremble in pure
terror.
Any spark of thoughts of revenge died there instantly. That kind of strength was not normal. The Emperor clearly stood above everyone.
In the march, everyone's eyes were focused on the two Thrones that stood atop a
ceremonial ship with shades of black and violet, Emperor Victor Elderblood and Empress Violet Elderblood in their 5-meter tall forms.
The words "True God' applied completely to these two. Their very presence was overwhelming, even though they weren't even exerting their pressure, and they were
supernaturally beautiful, to a level that if you looked at them, you couldn't look away anymore. There were no speeches that day, just a ceremonial parade that showed the Power of The Empire. Speeches were not necessary for everyone to understand the unspoken message, which even those too dumb to read between the lines understood. The future from today on was commanded by The Emperor, and if there was one thing
that these seven days showed, it was that... The Emperor was extremely competent at what he did.
He was so competent that this level of competence was frightening. In the space of seven days, he'd completely captured all those Beings and extinguished possible
flames of rebellion.
The image of a conquering God appeared in the minds of Mortals, as did this very title. 'It's all about image and demonstration. The rest will come naturally... Now begins the fusion of The Empire with these different Beings that were conquered in a short time. It's time to pay a visit to my Wife, Natalia! Victor thought as he felt internally satisfied upon seeing and hearing everyone's reaction. He was even more satisfied when he heard the 'titles' that the Mortals were giving him.
Who knows, maybe some of these titles will give me and Violet another Divinity!
Victor thought.
Titles like the 'Queen of The Gods', 'Gods among Gods', and 'Conquering God' echoed through the minds of the Mortals.
At the end of the 7th day of the first year of the Imperial Calendar, The Dragon Emperor, Victor Elderblood, became an Overlord of his Sector. He was the strongest
force in his Sector, and it was only a matter of time until all the planets would be annexed to The Empire.
