บท 34: Chapter 34 The Emperor’s Ascent: Unifying Nippon under KE’s Dominion
For him, witnessing such a battle among people stronger than himself was greatly beneficial, and not just for him but also for Akihiro, Dante, Miyako, and the girls, as everyone cultivated Etheora and had the technique of refinement.
Seeing KE's battle was like witnessing an artistic painting filled with meanings and cosmic laws.
For all the senior clan leaders, organization heads, and merchants, watching KE and Ignes fight was like watching titans or gods clash.
As soon as KE returned, everyone bowed in respect to him as a being superior to them.
To them, KE was a true god; whatever he commanded, they would execute.
Meanwhile, they felt the need to thank him after he saved their lives when they were on the brink of death.
Ignes nearly destroyed them, but KE saved them, even though they had previously mocked him, filling them with regret and shame.
It was good that there were people who were neutral or supporters of the Shinomori clan.
"Ara ara, my little child! You were magnificent and tyrannical in the fight," Miyako said as she approached to hug KE, smiling smugly when she saw her friends.
Honestly, Miyako was extremely proud of her son who showed tremendous strength.
This made many senior clan leaders, organization heads, merchants, and officials, who were previously arrogant and rigid in their thinking, submit to him and even pledge their loyalty.
"Wait, mom, how did you know? You were killing, not talking," KE was full of curiosity because he was sure it was impossible for anyone to see how he was fighting from afar.
Gaya smiled proudly, lifting her head high, "Hmph, of course, it's me. Look, young master."
Gaya gathered Etheora in front of KE and began transforming and assembling it into the shape of a mirror, and finally started the screen.
"This…..is really a good way to use Etheora. With this, we can prevent many tragedies," KE's mind began thinking of many ways to benefit from this ability.
"Not now… at least after I finish today," KE cleared his mind of extra thoughts and looked at Gaya, waiting for his praise.
"Well done, Gaya, you are the best," KE patted Gaya's head, making her smile childishly.
This scene was very pure, as everyone could hardly believe that KE was the god who shook all of Nippon just with a fight.
"Gaya, let's talk about this technique later and develop it, but now I must finish an important task," he turned his face to the senior clan leaders, organization heads, merchants, and officials.
"I guess you know what I want, right?" he looked at them with a dominating aura, reminding them that he was the god they had seen fighting, and they nodded quickly so as not to upset him.
"Sir, you want to be the ruler of Nippon, right?" An old man stood up, came in front of KE, and bowed, his eyes filled with awe but more so with respect.
"Yes, so, does anyone else have an objection?" KE appreciated the old man's calm and respectful manner of speaking, even though he was afraid.
When KE looked at the old man's face, he noticed that his expressions were calm and steady.
There was no sign of agitation or worry.
His face reminded him of a huge iceberg, immovable and unshakable by external factors.
"Sir, I have no problem submitting to your control, but I wonder: what are your plans for Nippon after you become emperor?" the old man asked, looking puzzled and eager at the same time.
He was wondering if there were any specific changes or developments that would come to Nippon once KE took power as emperor.
KE looked at the old man, as if trying to read his thoughts. The seriousness in the old man's eyes as he submitted to KE's control was evident, but his inquisitive and eager expressions were more pronounced.
"Nippon has a rich history and culture, but it is not without faults, and these faults could threaten its existence as a great empire," KE said confidently, expressing his appreciation for the old man and his willingness to explain his vision for Nippon's future.
Without waiting for the old man's response, KE continued: "Do you really think technology alone can face the supernatural world? There are demons, nobles, and werewolves. And I haven't shown you my full strength yet, nor has Ignes."
These words struck like lightning in the hearts of the audience. They had bet on technology to protect them from these higher beings, but KE's words made them rethink.
KE added: "If Ignes and I fought with our full strength, Nippon would be destroyed. You know how dangerous earthquakes and tsunamis are to our country. Imagine if we fought with our full power?"
This scenario painted by KE made everyone feel anxious and despairing.
"Now, after my fight with Ignes, there have been many negative effects. My existence has been exposed to the entire supernatural world; everyone knows about me," KE's words were carefully listened to by everyone, as this situation was extremely dangerous and could indeed lead to the destruction of Nippon.
Everyone had seen the nebula created by KE; it covered the planet, meaning all humanity and supernatural beings had witnessed this event and were already preparing for battle.
"In at least a month, some people and spies, whether from the supernatural world or just other countries, will come to see who caused this perhaps they have already been sent and are on their way" KE explained, knowing it was inevitable, as only a fool would not check whether they were humans or demons, nobles, and werewolves.
"At the same time, fighting is a necessary evil. You must kill to protect as much information as possible, and I can sense that the demons have already fled Nipon. I think Mozan was scared and couldn't bear to stay in my territory," this information calmed everyone since they all wanted to kill the demons, being their direct enemies.
They had been at war with the demons for thousands of years, and many of their ancestors were from the Demon Slayer Squad, so they harbored deep hatred against demons.
"More importantly, you are frankly weak. I have created a very strong special force capable of conquering all of Nippon and becoming the emperor in two days, but I gave you only one chance; it's your choice," KE's words made everyone fall to the ground, not believing he had planned this moment even though he had been exposed to the entire world.
Suddenly, they wanted to see the expressions of those people who would be crushed and humiliated by KE; they bet their faces would be quite amusing.
"So what will you choose? With me, you will gain glory and power, or as my enemy, you will die now and turn to dust in the long river of time," KE raised both hands in front of them, letting them choose.
Murmur!
Not even a second passed before everyone, led by the old man, prostrated themselves, bowing their heads to the ground.
"This is the choice," KE said with a tone full of confidence. "You are now under my rule, and will serve me until the end."
The old man stood up and raised his head, his eyes filled with determination, "We choose life, even if it's under your command, but please show these supernatural beings that we humans are not weak."
"I know that. Therefore, I am here. We have one month. I will train my special forces, and I will also give you Etheora refinement techniques."
"…"
After several hours of the meeting, KE finally finished the last explanation about Etheora and developing the economy.
The time for his ascension to the throne had already been chosen: a month after the arrival of all organizations and powers from the human and supernatural worlds.
By the way, he had also ordered Daichi to complete the construction. In the meantime, Shinomori Construction Company merged with many clans and organizations for construction and became affiliated with the Shinomori clan.
They planned to build more than ten branches of the restaurant in every city, and more branches would be built in larger cities with more population.
KE prepared many designs for hotels, hospitals, pharmacies, and schools he had drawn in his free time.
At the same time, he invested more than half of the money in orphanages, shocked himself when he learned about the very high number of orphans in Nippon in this era, over a hundred thousand, if not more, a number that only comes out in wars.
He was waiting for the first batch of his special forces to graduate tomorrow so he could deploy them in all cities of Nippon.
KE discussed with his parents and all the clan patriarchs and officials about destroying all the villages and building houses in the cities for people, even when his forces would protect everyone.
The problem with the villages was that they were small and scattered away from the cities, most in deep forests, and not very safe because of the many predators, demons, and even criminals and bandits.
So, there was no benefit in having these villages that only presented a burden and hindered the development of KE's empire.
In addition to the villages, he presented some manuscripts about technology that would be beneficial in developing labor, comfort, and speed, and started implementing them in factories.
He intended, within a year to three, to spread many refinement techniques, especially to children, as Etheora would become an integral part of everyday life.
As soon as his plan for researching a particular technology was complete, he could then disseminate it to them.
Kanae and Shinobu were tense because Mozan and the demons had fled from Nippon, which could lead to disasters around the world. Their concern was evident, reflecting the gravity of the situation and the potential global impact of the demons' escape.
