The great mage who transcends by returning, episode 350
Originally, this land was managed by a ‘special Horus’.
The later times have changed and many things have changed, and a huge empire has entered its place, but the special power of Horus is not going anywhere.
In the first place, the man called the father of the country chose this land as the capital because he was there.
– We need your help Great God.
The kid who introduced himself as a mere mubu said that and stood in front of him.
Of course, it is decided how to respond to such words.
i am not god
I do not have the qualifications nor the ability to dare to be called His substitute. At those words, the man who would later be called the father of the empire quietly bowed his head.
I don’t know how humans got to this grave.
However, standing in front of oneself means being a ‘challenger’.
said the young man.
– It doesn’t matter if you’re not a god. I want power. The power to end the tribulation and maintain peace on earth.
That’s not even funny.
Horus is not a power lender. As for those who passed the ordeal, there was no strength to lend to the challenger.
It was then.
– I’ll give you my soul if need be.
Horus saw the challenger.
unwavering eyes.
Ironically, it was the gaze that reminded me of ‘someone’ in my memory.
In the position of giving the trial, the apostle must not have “feelings”.
Horus thought many times.
but.
– then.
Where do you think things like that are? For better or for worse, the apostle was not a god.
And that’s why… ….
– Dedicate your lineage to me.
he made a choice
A choice that may last for a long time, even if he himself is not sure if it is right… ….

“…Is this okay?”
Eileen asked with a puzzled expression as she watched me safely enter the palace.
“This is the imperial palace, right? It’s also the heart that no one can approach except for His Majesty the Emperor.”
“yes.”
“Then this is treason, you madman.”
Eileen looked at me with a bewildered expression and said.
Most of them looked like that.
However, Lian and Ariandel, who had memories from before returning, said that this much was not a big deal.
“Well, there have been times like this. At that time, the capital was just reduced to ashes, so there was nothing there.”
“Whoops, it reminds me of the old days.”
The two of them follow me while exchanging such words with a slightly liberated expression. Of course, as time passed, the facial expressions of the rest also became similar.
They wouldn’t have known that they would only lose if they were agitated by something like this.
That’s a good attitude.
It’s easier if you give up on this.
“The emperor is a wise man. You must be aware that the current situation is not a situation to abide by the rules while talking about the authority of the imperial family.”
“Wait. In this situation, shouldn’t we have more authority?”
“I am a warrior.”
To put it bluntly, what should I do right now, who will protect the world?
Besides, even the emperor himself would know very well how the world is currently going.
Because the ‘listening ear’ is different from that of ordinary people.
“At this point, my importance is higher than that of the emperor himself.”
“surely….”
“If the emperor were a dark army or just a mediocre monarch, he would not accept it. They might try to suppress me by asserting their authority.”
Yes, if the monarch was lacking even a little bit, it would surely come out that way.
but.
“But he is not the current emperor.”
Theseus Ripple Alexandro.
He is a being who can lay down his life for the Empire and the world if need be.
It’s not because there are no emotions. It is because his sense of duty as a monarch is strong enough to overcome those emotions.
‘People say that human nature appears at the most critical moment.’
In that respect, the current emperor is worthy of being called a sage.
“That’s right. Before the return, His Majesty the Emperor had already proved that in person.”
Ryan nodded his head in understanding and continued.
“I was in a situation where I couldn’t do anything because I was so defeated.”
“…Certainly, His Majesty the Emperor at that time felt that way. Mikhail was not the same as now.”
Before returning, the emperor did his best.
He struggled to somehow rectify the disintegrating empire and struggled to come up with a way to counter the demons, albeit belatedly.
But the opponent was God.
Before the return, there were no ‘demigods’ that had the potential to become equal to the demon gods, and there were not many heroes who could suppress the coming of the great devil.
Possibilities were immediately trampled upon.
What could the emperor do in a situation where all the conditions for even the planned ruin to come true?
The reason I was able to bring the situation to this point right now was because I had the knowledge before returning.
I didn’t make something out of nothing.
There was a ‘driving power’ to resist the Demon God somehow, so he dragged it.
In that respect, the emperor somehow did his best despite the unfavorable reality.
It was just a bad time.
“Anyway, that’s it. At least the emperor will consider my actions reasonable and pass them on. You probably don’t even find it particularly unpleasant?”
“Uh um….”
The butler tilted his head and replied.
“It feels strange to talk so lightly about the Emperor, who is not someone else.”
“What’s new?”
Isn’t it strange to be cowed by the emperor when you’re dealing with a god?
Well, I think it’s completely different when I think about it right after the regression.
In any case, you don’t have to worry about the Emperor.
I don’t know, but I’ll probably say ‘Isn’t that treason?’
Then Set said.
[Mikhail is almost there.]
“…hmm.”
“Come to think of it, that’s what we mean. Where exactly did you say you were going?”
Eileen followed me and asked. If you ask a question, of course it is your duty to answer it.
“Cemetry.”
“…Is there a graveyard here?”
“Of course it is.”
The place we are walking now is not just an ‘imperial palace’. And even more so the destination.
“If it’s a graveyard, whose grave is it?”
“What is it?”
Yes, even within the mysterious imperial palace, a place that was considered sacred… ….
“It must be the graveyard of past emperors, right?”
At that moment, the faces of everyone who had been listening to me were blank.
“…List of Emperors?”
“Yes, the former emperor.”
“Then, of course, there will be His Majesty, the first emperor, who is the wife of the country, among those ‘Emperors of the Past’, right?”
“Is that right?”
I don’t know why you ask something so obvious.
He looked at Eileen with those kind of eyes.
Yes, this is the moment when you need to clearly set the direction as a leader.
“That’s why.”
I looked around at everyone with a stern expression and made a stern declaration.
“From now on, we will infiltrate the graveyard.”
“No, you crazy bastard!”
In the end, Eileen exploded, forgetting even the words of honor and screaming.
“It’s blasphemy to the imperial family so you can’t even remove it!”
“I don’t know, I’m going to infiltrate.”
Roughly speaking, even previous emperors would acknowledge it if they wanted to dig a grave for world peace.
Let us believe that.

It may sound obvious, but the Imperial Palace is huge.
It is bigger than any other building in the empire and its splendor is incomparable.
For a long time, the imperial palace was a place where only direct bloodlines of the imperial family were permitted, so the word ‘prohibited’ was not a waste.
But in fact, in the depths of the imperial palace, there exists a space that is not allowed even to the great ‘royal family’.
“That is Valhalla.”
I went to Valhalla, the tomb of the imperial family, and explained to everyone about this destination.
“Even the great emperor cannot access this tomb while alive. Even if the corpse is buried, it will be posthumous.”
“uh…Doesn’t someone have to go inside to put the body? how the hell… ….”
“Ah, it’s just that the moment your vital signs stop, you’re immediately transported to Valhalla. It is made up of such a system.”
“Why…?”
Ryan’s expression was completely incomprehensible.
In the first place, this information was not disclosed even before the return, so it must be a natural reaction in a way.
A graveyard that even the emperor could never access while alive.
Of course, considering that it is a cemetery where the remains of successive emperors are kept, it is right that it is prohibited.
But what should I say?
– Is there any meaning in a graveyard that no one can access?
Something different from being stuffed in a graveyard without a memorial.
At that point, it could be said that the expression ‘taxidermy’ would be more appropriate than ‘graveyard’.
The other people seemed to think so as well, and their expressions were quite stiff.
“Bocchan, perhaps the peculiarity of the imperial tomb is… …Is it related to the last tomb this time?”
“It is as you say.”
I nodded my head at the butler’s question.
Unsurprisingly, this bizarre burial ground is directly related to the tomb.
Then why is it relevant?
‘It’s only natural that I don’t know these details.’
Thanks to the nearly restored Round Table, with only one left, there is a lot of information that can be accessed.
For example, what happened to the tomb in the meantime?
What changes have occurred in the ordeal?
what things like that
“Anyway, the apostle Horus of this tomb seems to be entangled with the national treasure of the empire.”
“her….”
Even though all the tombs so far had accidents, the history of being involved in reality was not very long.
But this time it’s different.
little bit of national wealth.
It has to do with the first emperor who created this empire.
Even my co-workers, who were accustomed to many things by going around with me, couldn’t help but be a bit surprised by this one.
“They say the world was quite messy a long time ago before the empire was even established. It is said that war broke out every day because it was divided into so small countries.”
“I have certainly heard that. And then, the first emperor appeared like a comet… ….”
“Yes, it is.”
A lot has changed with the appearance of the first emperor.
The first emperor subdued and subdued the warring nations with ‘transcendent power’.
At first, the group that started as a small kingdom boasted a size that would not be strange to be called an ’empire’ in later years, and continues to this day.
“Then, here is the question. What on earth did the first emperor do to end the war and establish an empire?”
“that…Uhm.”
“The answer is.”
I left the butler behind and turned my attention to the huge door in front of me.
“The first emperor wrote an expedient.”
“…yes?”
It is similar to the case in the past when Draculion misused Nephthys’ sacred object.
The difference is that Draculion tried to cause a disaster, but in the case of the first emperor… ….
“On the slightly better side.”
As far as being reasonably sensible?
With that said, he put his hand on the door.
Kugoong!
Then, the door to the cemetery, which would never open normally, began to open slowly with a heavy sound.
An impregnable secret that has never been opened to the living in the long history of the empire.
The place showed up.
“uh?”
Everyone but me looked at the scenery beyond the door and couldn’t help but panic.
it was a battlefield
It was very brutal, but at the same time, it was a heterogeneous battlefield that was different from the current era.
Intuitively.
here is….
[Horus, what have you done… ….]
is the past.
It was also the period right after the founding of the country.
