Government.

But the government is a two-faced beast. It is composed of and operated by people, so it has the quality of "demigod and half-beast" of human nature. It is both living and lifeless. While it protects people, it also eats people.

It is both the work of humanity and the embodiment of humanity itself. Greedy and cowardly, strong and vulnerable.

It was born because everything in the world is insufficient, but human greed is unlimited. So there is the continuous, power-based "war of all against all". As a result, all human beings in their natural state are "lonely, poor, filthy, rough and short-lived."

This chaotic war in which "all are enemies" is not in the interests of the majority. And "killing", which is the innate "natural right" of human beings, plays a conflict with the basic human demand of "fear of death", which is almost paradoxical............

Leviathan is the only solution for the small and pathetic human race.

It is essentially a social contract in which all people surrender their natural power to the authority of the state to maintain internal peace and external defense.

This creature, whether its name is monarchy, aristocracy, federalism or democracy, it is a Leviathan, and this point never will.

An absolute, eternal existence.

A compromise of greed and cowardice.

An artificial life.

The embodiment of the lies of this world.

The Emperor stared at the beast at the end of the world.

The other party seemed to feel the gaze of the dust-like human, but he didn't react in the slightest.

The Emperor could feel the will of the other, not curiosity, hatred, or contempt.

The man-made god just used him as part of the background.

The Emperor grinned, looked up, and looked at the god who was hiding somewhere.

"Why are you showing me this? Country...... It's just a clumsy ploy by you to glue together a world that could be torn apart by lies at any moment. We're not perfect, you know that very well and it's not going to change anyway. ”

…………

"You've shown me so many pictures over the years, why?"

…………

"I just asked you the simplest question. Why let the world be full of lies? ”

…………

"Give me the answer! Why!? Why do I have to kill my siblings?! Why should my blood relatives point their guns at me?! Why did I only get to where I am today by piling up countless lies?! ”

…………

"Why...... Do you just want to see humans kill each other? ”

…………

"It doesn't matter anymore, the Sword of Accasia is gone. Soon I'll be gone, too, and you'll be gone. The answer to the future is left to my family. ”

The Emperor turned, raised his hand into the void and pulled it away, and the exit appeared in front of him.

"Charles... No... Walk ......"

The emperor's footsteps could not be taken, and the eyes of the king of men, this man who had stood at the top of the world for decades, were full of shock.

It spoke to itself......

God...... For the first time ever...... Spoke to me? Is it because of the threat from that heretical god?

"Charles...... We...... Wretched...... Charles ......"

It is like the sound of wind chimes being blown, soft, and changeable, sometimes far and near. There are no feelings, age and even gender, but there is no doubt that it is a human voice. Not just one, but the harmony of all human beings.

The Emperor turned slowly.

All space for the line of sight was occupied by a pitch-black body. And that's not all, in fact it's just a part of the other side.

The Leviathan, each of its mountain-sized teeth, staggered in front of it, spreading to the sides to the sky.

"Killed your own ...... Parents...... Wife and children""...... Brothers and sisters......" finally came to us...... This time" ...... Charles intends to ...... "Kill us ............"

“……”

The emperor stared at each other.

"What is he thinking now?"

"He must have felt...... Something like ""...... David ...... "in human form...... ...... to Goliath" "Challenge" with ...... in his hand Our "heads"

"Charles...... I...... Poor Charles. ”

"As a 'god,' your methods of provoking others are too naïve."

Emperor.

There is only this man in the world who can straighten his back in the face of this kind of coercion that can destroy the minds of mortals in an instant, and talk to him without changing his face. Even if he dies soon, he still has his dignity.

"I'm sorry...... Charles ...... "I'm sorry ......" "We...... Need "You"

Charuru had a wry smile on his face.

"Begging for mercy? It's too late. The Sword of Akaxia is gone. Whether it's you or that, I can't kill ......."

"I'm sorry...... We "want" ...... Destroy...... That ......"

Charuru looked at the huge black shadow in front of him in surprise.

"A declaration of war?"

Is there time to care about my broken body now?

"No...... It's not war" "It's ...... "Yes" "Yes" "We need you...... Destroy"

"Charles, Charles""...... Charles ......" "Charles, Charles"

"Charles" "Charles"

"Charles...... Charles............ Charles"

"Charles"

"We need your ......"

"Dead", "Destroyed", "withered", "Perished", "Collapsed", "Hanged", "No, burned", "Suicide? "Poisoned" "fell from the top of the palace." "Right""...... Falling"...... In the "pinnacle" of "humanity" and "power" of the right...... The Fall"

"Fallen ......"

"Poor Charles...... We...... Need you. ”

"Charles is the chosen one......"

"We need your ......"

"Fall."

“…… Is that so......"

The Emperor silently listened to the other party's emotionless statement, and suddenly tilted his head and laughed wildly. Suddenly, the whole world was shaken and rumbled by his laughter, like a muffled thunder.

"God...... Struggle as hard as you like. Whoever wins or loses is a matter for your gods. You can't control my fate, you hide in the clouds, and the era of playing with the fate of the world may be coming to an end. I, Charles M. Di Britannia, even if you die here, or die outside, you won't be able to take advantage of it. ”

"Charles...... We"

The Leviathan slowly opened its gluttonous maw, and inside was a huge dark space. In the depths, there was a faint white glow like a firefly.

A figure, only one step, came to the emperor.
