Multiverse Conquest: Rise of the Saiyan Empire

Chapter 216: Blind and Destructive Rage

The Moment those words were spoken.

All the Vizirs paled and their eyes revealed dread

Was the Saharos Empire stupid?

No! Absolutely not!

All their moves are calculated to the secondThey are extremely cunning and brilliant.

It was because of that, they could survive this long in the Primordial Realm.

This movewas done for a reason

Wouldn't they know the result of such an offense?

Then why would they do that?

There are three probable reasons:

They are strong enough to ignore the Emperor.

They have enough backers to face the Emperor

Or and the Worst of all

They want the Emperor to make a move!!

Or rather this was their objective all along!!!

Lelouch and Schneizel could see the bitterness in each other's eyes:

'It seems this was their goal was this from the beginning'

This was bad extremely bad!! Once they entered their paceIt will be extremely difficult to get out of it!!

Shahrazad looked at the two Vizirs and felt the bad feeling in heart deepen further:

'This is badSomething is terribly wrong'

'Why would they want the Emperor to attack them?'

'The Emperor couldn't make it any clearer that his intervention in this war would be minimal'

'They did go out of their wayto attack his heartstrings, so he could make a move!'

They are enticing them!!

By nowEveryone knew the biggest weakness of the Atleasian Empire!! The lack of information!

They lacked information about the world!

They lacked information about their own people!!

And they lacked information about their own dynasty!!!

And this what the Saharos Empire has been using!!!

The Vizirs all realized thatAnd even the Mother Empress realized thatbut even then she couldn't possibly stop the Emperor.

Even her, never saw her lion this angry.

The Emperor's eyes were already on the rebellious statesIn it an old man was laying his life for HIS PEOPLE!!

His jaw clenched in anger!

How could he not realize it soonerHim as a Vega Emperor could detect his own people without even trying. He could sense them from a Galaxy away.

The answer has already been guessed by him.

Yashin VegaTo protect his treasure erased and masked all traces of Vega Aura.

'He probably didn't expect that people would come live there.'

While everyone was brimming with worry, the only thing he could see was his people praying in despair. Reduced to a life of tribalism, primates and cannibalism.

'Good!! Very Good!!!'

In front of the boundless rage of the Emperor, even Izuna didn't dare delay:

"Yes, your Majesty"

The Vizirs all had complex eyes

The Saharos Empire have successfully crippled the Atleasian Empire of years of development.

They may have overplayed their hands by angering the Emperor this muchBut that doesn't seem that important.

Since the Saharos Empire seemed to know of ways to survive this crisis

And if they could survive it

That would mean, that they entered with overwhelming advantages in this war

They lacked generals, they lacked armies, they lacked money, they lacked technologies, they lacked Magus

.Everything was lackingIf they didn't have the Marshalls and the Emperor this war wouldn't even worth fighting!

It was such a shame! Lelouch spoke bitterly in his heart!!

'If they could give me 5 yearsNo just 2 years.Damn it! Those bastards!!'

'They had this hidden ace and used perfectly!'

Just when everyone thought that war was inevitableThat they would be plunged in a two-sided cycle of slaughter and their development would have to be delayed.

"Your Majesty, I request an audience with you."

A voice resounded, powerfully in the hall. Surprising everyone, even Devran herself.

Then they saw itThe womanThe First Empress, Marek Vega took, on her knees, her hands on the Emperor's robes.Like a beggar.Imploring the Emperor, with the most melting eyes

She was on her knees begging him, her eyes clear and determined!!

Her crown shined in the day, her beautiful purple eyes were unyielding

She didn't mind the shame of her gesture, she didn't even mind being seen like that by her fellow Empress or by the rest of the Court.

She was not only an Empress, she was the confident of the Emperor, his sister, his sweetheart.

And more than anything, she was an Empress with the blood of the Vega Dynasty in her veins.

While the Emperor didn't favor anyone because of blood, the fact that someone with pride of a Vega was on her knees, not like a subject but like a beggar, struck the heart of everyone present here.

Marek whose eyes were filled with endless anger, looked down, to find the woman he loved, the woman he trusted the most, and doted on the most, at his feetBegging like some criminal pleading for penance.

"My EmpressWhat are you?"

Immediately, without even thinking he descended supporting herBut for the first time, since she became her Empress

She refused. She refused him.

She refused to stand up.

She refused to heed his words.

"Your MajestyThis Concubine is begging you."

When he heard this, his felt his heart break apartHe couldn't bear to see her like that.His eyes calmed down a tad, before he spoke:

"All of you"

"Go out"

Yet the Empress eyes were still on himWaiting for him.

Marek wasn't stupid he knew what she wanted.He sighed as he spoke to Izuna:

"IzunaTell my Janissaries to stay on hold."

Only then her eyes fell slightlyBut she never stood upeven after all them left

It was althought, she would never leave until she obtained satisfaction.

Marek sighed, swallowing his anger as he sat back on his throne:

"Why would you do that? "

Shahrazad looked at him with determination in his voice:

"It is a trap and you know it."

"Going there is dangerous, too dangerousyour majesty."

Her eyes were brimming with light and her tone was ferocious like a lioness protecting her cub.

Marek sneered:

"Let them lay all the traps they want!!"

"I want to see who in this world, will stop me from eating their hearts and drinking their blood!"

His anger was still boiling!! And it didn't look like he would listen to reason! But Shahrazad didn't back down, she was trembling under the bloodthirsty aura he was emitting!!!

Yet she never, stopped!!

You should know that the current aura of the Emperor had long surpassed his Ultra Sage Mode!!!

And it was brimming with endless and killing intent!!

Yet Shahrazad was unwavering!!

"Your MajestyAll your efforts, everything you've done may crumble the moment you enter this war."

"The Saharian are good schemers even better schemers than us."

"They would never attract your wrath like that without a backhand"

"They may not know the bounds of your powersBut they know that it isn't something they could take."

"There is something brewing."

Marek eyes were still brimming with fury:

"Am I supposed to just sit and watch? As my people get trampled on?!"

Shahazad sighed in relief when she saw that the Emperor was responding to her words for now:

"I didn't tell you to do that."

"No one has died as of yet"

"And the people who suffered already had passed away."

"Our wrath could be delayed and delivered when 'we' deem the time is right, your majesty."

"If we walk in their pace, we would be forever be in their palm!"

Shahrazad continued to crawl:

"I don't know what war we are about to enter"

"But it definitely isn't a two sided war for the Astaroth Continent"

"And"

"It would probably a war survival"

"The Vega Dynasty's survival."

"Like Yashin Vega once faced"

"And I believe the Saharians want us to enter this war unprepared and uninformed."

"The Saharians have been scheming against our return for thousands of years"

"They even destroy all of the knowledge we held about our own lineage.."

"They know about out bloodline more than we know about it ourselves!"

"And they want it to stay that way."

"What better way is there than blind war to achieve their purpose?!"

"The lack of information had already nearly cost us a billion people, what would be next?"

Marek eyes waveredbut he still kept a solid front, he stood up!

"I will go destroy their country myself"

"I will leave Izuna, Madara and the other Marshalls here"

"I don't believe, that they could bypass them. Whoever they may be."

When he remembered that he nearly lost a billion people, it was like a fire was ignited in his heart!

But he felt hands clutching to the back of his robe, with a pleading and crying tone.

"Marek! Please!"

"SharazadI already listened to your words."

"Your Majesty!"

"I only tried to convince when you wanted to fight the God of Destruction."

"I didn't get in your way"

"Because I genuinely believed in your wisdom, and that you had everything under your controlBecause"

She sniffed, yet her tone was still powerful:

"I knew"

"I KNEW YOU WOULD COME BACK TO ME!!!"

Marek stopped in his tracks and descended to her level, before holding her face in his hands:

"My EmpressI will always come back."

"You don't have to worry, about me"

"Worry about those bastards instead"

Shahrazad, but her fair little hands on his:

"MarekWhat is my name?"

Marek opened his eyes wide:

"Shahrazad"

She was in tears as she continued:

"Do you remember that day?"

She shut her eyes, a little smile on her teary face:

"If I ever lost my way, If in this never ending war."

"I lost my own sense of self, If the day comes you don't recognize your fool of a man anymore"

" Please, show this humble idiot the way, Please guide me to the light".

She recited the words of that dayAs if it was a mantra of her heart:

"The Marek I know thinks about his Empire's first and his fleeting feelings comes later"

"The Marek I know never enter anything unprepared, but at the same time isn't afraid of anything or anyone."

"The Marek I know, always knows when it's a good time to make move, and when it is a good time to risk his life."

She looked in the Emperor's eyes:

"Do not lose your way, my love"

"My EmperorYour heart is good, but you are blinded by furyAnd will destroy everything you built."

"If you go now"

"You will lose yourself in the never-ending swarms of enemies."

"Entering a war that could last thousands of years than only you are ready for."

"Leaving everything behind."

Sharazard put the back of his hand against his cheek:

"PleaseBefore you embark in this road."

"At leastConsider everything you would need to consider"

"Look at everything you would need to see."

By now, she was barely grasping at straws!! But she didn't expect the last words to resonate within the Emperor.

As he heard these wordsMarek suddenly entered in a dazeSeemingly remembering something!

He then spoke to the air:

"Kassandra."

Suddenly an assassin appeared in front of him kneeling in reverence:

"When I read your memoriesI saw something about a message"

"A message that was addressed to me and was supposed to be top secret"

Kassandra nodded:

"Yes, your majestyThe Message have been locked in memory by Ezio."

"If you wish you could take a look."

Marek then used his eyes once more. His eyes widenedBefore a solemn air appeared on him.

For a secondHis rage seemed to dissipate

'Slumber? What slumber?'

His eyes then moved to another part of the world!!

His spirit connected faraway in a hurry:

"I received your greetings, Grand Priestess"

"Or maybe I shouldn't call you that"

Klatos Union,

As she heard the message, a smile bloomed on the woman calling herself Grand Priestess:

"Your Imperial Majesty. I have been waiting for your message."

"I am delighted that you didn't make your move yet."

The Emperor sneered:

"Are you, now?"

The Grand Priestess only kept a casual smile:

"It seems you don't trust me."

Then suddenly something happened, as if a veil stopping his Rinnegan, that he didn't even know existed, disappeared.

"Let's arrange that."

Marek eyes widened!!

He felt it!!

His own bloodline on this person!!

"Vega Clan Member?!"

'This techniqueIt's the same one used in the Rebellious States!'

"Yes your majesty"

"I know you have a lot of questions."

"So let's get acquainted with each other, shall we?"
