764 〈Absolute Monarchy〉
As soon as he came here, the first thing Io looked at was not the Highness, but the girl who stood beside His Highness and looked exactly like himself.
"Ivan!"
Io suddenly smiled as if he had seen his beloved daughter.
However, the girl whom Io called Ivan did not move, standing like a statue, causing the joy on Io's face to turn into doubt.
"His Highness Edmond?"
Io asked His Highness suspiciously.
"What's wrong with Ivan? What's weird? ”
Io's puzzled look made His Highness ———— Edmond show a nonchalant expression.
"It's nothing, don't mind, I'm just lifting the restrictions a little."
Limit?
What does this mean?
Before Io could figure it out, or rather, react, Edmund spoke out happily.
"Your 'daughter' is really good, Io, to be honest, I thought your research must be right, but I didn't expect it to be successful in the end, I just came a little earlier, and by the way, I tried Ivan's power here, and the result was unimaginable, I was almost ecstatic, you are really my goddess of luck, Io."
Edmund looked at the girl named Ivan obsessively, and even stretched out his hand and stroked Ivan's face, but his eyes revealed a strong ambition and possessive desire.
Ivan, on the other hand, remained motionless, bearing all of Edmund's movements, like an emotionless machine.
This caused the doubts in Io's heart to turn into an ominous feeling.
"Ivan? What happened to you? You... You're also..."
Io couldn't help the ominous premonition in his heart, and just wanted to step forward, but was stopped by General Guretan.
"Please speak here, it's disrespectful to get too close to Your Highness."
The general said such things in an indifferent tone.
This stunned Io and made Edmond wave his hand.
"Alright, General, for the sake of her bringing me such a wonderful thing, I will specifically allow her to come to me, otherwise, as the king of the world, the measure will be too small."
Edmond's unruly words only made the ominousness in Io's heart grow stronger and stronger.
"The king of the world? Pls what are you talking about..."
Before she could finish her sentence, Edmond spoke up again and interrupted her.
"Before that, let me ask you a question, Io."
Edmond looked at Io, and the unbridled look in his eyes made Io's heart tremble.
"Would you like to come with me?"
Edmond extended the invitation.
"Together? Where to go? ”
Io was stunned in response.
"Of course it's the pinnacle of the world."
Edmond said as a matter of course.
"The world's... Peak...? ”
Io didn't understand at all.
It's just that there is one thing that Io still knows.
"Your Highness promised me that as long as the research of 'Absolute Kingship' and 'Infinite Chain Reaction' is successful, then I will use Ivan's power to stop the upcoming world war and prevent the people from shedding blood and tears..."
That's how Io would be here.
Io had been in contact with Edmond for a long time.
Because Edmund intended to sponsor Io's research, and so claimed.
"I don't want to see a fearless fight, so help me for my purposes, Io."
Edmond threw an olive branch to Io in this way.
Io, on the other hand, was conquered by the dream described by Edmond and successfully offered his research to Edmond.
It's not just the study of the infinite chain reaction, it's also the study of magic circuits.
This magic circuit is exactly what it ———— "absolute kingship".
The world only knows that Io is researching the "Infinite Chain Reaction", but they don't know that Io is also researching the magic of "Absolute Kingship" with Edmund's funding.
Then, the results of the two were finally concentrated on Ivan.
It is an automaton developed by Io, and it is equipped with the cross-century existence of "Absolute Kingship" and "Infinite Chain Reaction".
Io had already said that the "Infinite Chain Reaction" he developed could only be used for one type of magic at the moment.
This kind of magic is called "absolute kingship".
The Absolute Kingship, with the application of the Infinite Chain Reaction, is an extremely terrifying force, fully capable of realizing Io's idea, that is, to prevent the outbreak of a world war, otherwise the people will shed blood and tears.
And the one who carried "Absolute Throne" and "Infinite Chain Reaction" was Ivan, whose full name ———— Ivan Jielin.
Then, just some time ago, Io handed Ivan over to Edmond.
But now, it's not just Ivan who looks a little strange, even Edmond looks strange.
"You... What the hell are you talking about? Your Highness? ”
Io asked with great trepidation.
Pity...
"Don't let me down, Io, I have great expectations for your talents."
Edmond grinned and uttered something that horrified Io.
"You don't want to be like Ivan, a veritable puppet who can't feel anything, right?"
Hearing this, Io's eyes widened.
"Your Highness...! You...!? ”
Io finally realized something.
Edmond spoke nonchalantly.
"It took me a lot of effort, after all, Ivan is not a puppeteer who can parse it from anywhere, and if it is accidentally broken, it will be a great loss, so it was not until yesterday that the emotional program was completely deleted, so that she finally became a little more obedient."
Hearing this, where did Io not know what was going on?
"Your Highness," Io said in a trembling voice, "have you deceived me?" ”
Edmond scoffed at Io's claim.
"How can I say I'm lying to you? I am the King of the World, Your Majesty! ”
Edmond smiled.
"The people will not shed blood, because they will have to submit to me."
"A world war will not break out, because none of the great powers will be able to resist me."
"As long as there is Ivan, as long as there is the power of 'Absolute Kingship' and 'Infinite Chain Reaction', then I can make all the guys become my power without blood."
"To be able to sit as the king of the world and rule the whole world without any difficulty, you really brought me something good, Io."
This is what Edmond really meant by not wanting to see fearless battles.
At this moment, Io only felt that Edmond had become extremely terrifying, and his whole body trembled.
No, the real thing that made Io tremble was that she realized what she had done.
Io, there is no doubt that he has done something wrong.
A wrong thing that pushed everyone into dire straits.
"Put... Give Ivan back to me! ”
Io screamed in fear and prepared to rush in Ivan's direction.
However, at about the same time, a man grabbed Io's shoulder.
