"Ozma! My friend! Are you here to kill me?! Finally, the roar of the Empire's famous general, or the former Imperial general, Kazan, broke the mysterious silence.

"Kazan, my friend, I don't want to be your enemy, but if you want to betray Your Majesty, we will have to fight each other." Ozma's eyes revealed deep helplessness and hesitation, but her voice remained so firm.

"Ozma, I'm not rebelling, someone is framing me! I just want to protect myself and my family, don't fall for their tricks! ”

"In that case, Kazan, why don't you withdraw your troops first and come with me to see Your Majesty, and I will definitely intercede for you."

"Ozma, don't be naïve, you want my life...... Your Majesty! ”

"So, you're admitting that you've rebelled? It's a pity, Kazan...... Soldiers, listen to my orders and attack!! ”

Ozma gave the order to attack, and the Imperial army poured into Kazan in droads.

Kazan let out a long sigh, and then, as if he had fought for the Empire, he rushed towards Ozma with a sword in one hand and an axe in the other......

Imperial Penitentiary of Perus

Ozma, shackled, still couldn't believe what had happened.

When he and Kazan were brought back to the palace by the Imperial Sergeants, His Majesty immediately imprisoned them on charges of complicity with the intent to rebel, without even giving Ozma any chance to defend himself.

"How so?" Ozma asked herself this question more than once, but never found an answer. Now that I think about it, I am really ridiculously naïve, when I heard the news of Kazan's rebellion, why did His Majesty let go of many generals of the empire, but let a court magician lead the troops to rehabilitate, and the imperial army that suddenly poured out when he fought with Kazan...... It was a conspiracy from the beginning, a conspiracy to get rid of himself and Kazan!

“…… Hahaha......" Hearing Kazan's soulless laughter, Ozma no longer knew how to face his former friend.

"Ozma, now you've finally come to your senses."

"I ...... I'm sorry for you. Ozma looked at Kazan guiltily, only to find that his whole body was covered in blood, as if he had just come out of hell, and what was even more terrifying was that his originally strong and powerful arms were now twisted at a strange angle.

"Kazan! What's wrong with your hand?! ”

"Maybe they were afraid of my arm, they broke my tendons." Kazan said lightly.

"Why...... Why is His Majesty the Emperor so ruthless?! The three of us are brothers who have fought together! ”

"Brother? Forget it! There is not a single good thing in the royal family. If we are locked up here, I am afraid that even our families will not be able to escape their fate. There was no expression on Kazan Muran's face.

"Family...... Family...... That, that, that...... My Liz is also ......?? Yes!! ”

"Dare to be a traitor, dare to be so presumptuous, how can you shout the honorific name of His Majesty the Emperor's concubine!" Before Ozma could finish speaking, the jailer interrupted him with a smack.

"You...... What do you mean by that!! Lizzie...... What happened to my Liz...... Tell me! Ozma struggled to her feet, her eyes bloodshot yelling at the jailer.

"What do you shout, what do you think you are now!" Several jailers poured into the cell like fierce gods, punching and kicking Ozma, and the poor Empire's first magician ended up in such a situation.

After a few punches and kicks, the jailers dragged the bruised Ozma out.

"Ask for ...... I beg you...... Tell me...... Lizzie...... Right now...... What the hell is going on......"

"Ozma...... Ozma ......"

"Who's calling me...... Be...... Kazan? Ozma instinctively wanted to open his eyes, but found that there was still darkness in front of him, did he have to live in this darkness for the rest of his life? Ozma smiled wryly.

"Ozma, are you okay?"

“……”

Ozma didn't speak, and Kazan was silent. Now they can't even say words to comfort each other and give each other a little hope.

"It shouldn't end up like this...... I didn't expect them to be so jealous, is this the price of high merit......"

"Kazan, my family, and my Liz............ Why? You didn't even spare your brother's woman............ Yes!!! …… Poor Liz...... They weren't wrong, why were they punished like this! ……”

"Am I going to die silently like dust? This is not the worst of all, I am afraid that it will be recorded in the history books that Kazan and Ozma turned their backs on the emperor's favor and attempted rebellion, and were finally executed by the wise and martial emperor. No, that's the fate we're about to face...... That's how incompetent humans treat people who are better than them......"

"Why, why...... Can't the human soul really be purified......"

Ozma sighed unconsciously as a series of events haunted his thoughts. Kazan just sat quietly and listened, not disturbing him.

Suddenly, Ozma had a crazy idea that if humanity disappeared from this world, the entire continent would be purified, right?

That's right, it must be purification! The filth of humanity only pollutes everything on this continent!

Ozma's eyes lit up, but then they dimmed again, but how could that be...... Who can do that......

…………

"Tiny human, have you thought it through?" A suffocating voice suddenly sounded, and the icy tone seemed to freeze the air.

"Evil spirits, get out of my sight! I'm not going to sell my soul! Ozma roared, the scarlet flames burned wildly in his hands, and his pale eyes shone with bloody light.

"Humans, just give your soul to gain the power to destroy the world. It is your honor to be able to trade with the Grim Reaper, and you should be glad that fate has chosen you......"

"Enough!" Ozma interrupted in disgust and threw the flames in her hands at the evil spirit, but the flames slammed directly through the pitch-black creature in front of her and into the wall behind it, making a piercing popping sound.

"O stupid human, you will one day pay for your arrogance. There is no escaping the arrangement of fate, and when the time comes, you will come to me yourself, ahaha......" A burst of laughter came, and the creature in front of him gradually disappeared, but the last words he left behind were still hovering in Ozma's mind......

"Fate? What exactly is fate? Why did I end up like this when I had been faithful all my life? If this is my fate, then what is the fate of you, damn royalty? No, I won't make it easy for you, even if your soul goes to hell forever, I will make you pay! Hahaha! As if thinking of something, Ozma burst out laughing.

"Ozma......?"

"Kazan, listen to me, the two of us can be regarded as the top people in the world, right?"

"This ......," Kazan smiled bitterly, "sort of, but what's the point of talking about it now?" ”

"Of course it makes sense!" Ozma roared angrily, "I don't want to disappear into this world with resentment!" Never reconcile! I must get revenge! ”

"That'...... What do you want to do? ”

"It's simple. Kazan, become the god of destruction, and I, the god of chaos! ”

"What do you mean by that?"

Ozma was about to answer, when several jailers opened the bars of the cell, grabbed Kazan by the arm, and dragged him out of the prison.

"Kazan! My friend! Remember, it's not over yet! Gotta Live! I'll definitely find you! Kazan, Kazan!! ”

Ozma clutched the railing and shouted loudly, and Kazan, who had been dragged away by the soldiers, turned around and smiled at Ozma.

What does this smile mean? Do you agree with what Ozma said, or is it a final goodbye to this friend with his ridiculous ideas?

…………

Later, Kazan was exiled to the Stroo Mountains, and Ozma was abandoned in the sea to the south. Death came to Ozma again, and Ozma, who was full of hatred for the whole world at this time, gladly accepted Death's proposal and exchanged his soul for the power of evil and became the god of chaos. Subsequently, he reclaimed the dying Kazan's life, making him the god of destruction. But Kazan did not participate in Ozma's revenge plan, he just turned into a ghost god and wandered around the continent of Arad, spreading the plague of Kazan......

"You've already learned the rest in school." Margello opened his slightly narrowed eyes, looked at Obis and said lightly, "Ozma used the Blood Curse to turn humans into pretenders, and took revenge on all humans. It was a dark history, everyone could be a pretender, humans no longer trusted each other, and some vicious people even used the name of the pretender to eradicate dissidents...... It has to be said that Ozma's revenge was very successful, and people at that time had no hope of living at all. Fortunately, God did not give up on us, and the Sage Michel appeared in time to teach the clergy how to distinguish between ordinary humans and pretenders with his extraordinary talents, so that humanity saw the light and had clergy like us who could fight against the pretenders. However, for Ozma, who is bent on eradicating humanity, Michelle's appearance is not good news, and a big war is inevitable after all......

"I know, I know!" Obes suddenly interjected excitedly, "I've read in my textbook, it's the Dark Holy War!" ”

"Good boy," Margello gently stroked his little granddaughter's hair, "you're right, this is the Dark Holy War, and the great Mistress Michel has led us to successfully repel Ozma's disguised legions. However, Ozma was not eliminated, he must have been hiding somewhere, waiting for his chance. Therefore, the world still needs us to protect it. Remember, little Obes? ”

"Remember! But Grandpa......" The girl's eyes sparkled as she looked straight at Margello, "Ozma must have been a very kind person. ”
