Chapter 577: Chapter 573 - Stronger Armor and Sharper Sword

Warning: Suggested gore, cannibalism

—

Iris volunteered herself to help the emperor in wars instead of her Enigma children, but he rejected the idea because he told Iris he didn't want to lose her again.

But truth to be told, it was more because the emperor was afraid of losing the immense power Iris possessed, simply because Iris had never used her power to its full potential in a war. 

He feared that the enemy would steal it from his grip and reverse all the glory he had painstakingly created, burying his magnificent story as the strongest ruler on earth beneath the ruins of his short-lived empire.

"Your Majesty, for the sake of the empire, you must send the princes along with those two outsiders to learn more about the blessing they were born with, and to build themselves a stronger armor and sharper sword." The Omega dowager suggested, "Once they are ready, we will make them inherit the power of the deposed empress."
