Moonlight Too Lies Beneath the Emperor!

Night was falling, and countless stars were slipping through it, creating an unprecedented, apocalyptic, terrifying scene.

Below this, the world had long since fallen into silence. Amidst the trembling of all things and the silent lamentations, thousands of warriors fiercely drew their swords, pointing them towards the heavens.

They disobeyed the commander's orders.

Because they are soldiers, and even more so, warriors.

They are warriors.

Therefore, we will fight to the death and never retreat.

"This is our glory, my lord."

The enormous mechanical Machine God hovered in the air, Barghest grinned and let out his usual raucous laughter.

A white dragon, resembling the aurora borealis, took flight.

Its surface was covered with countless mechanical armors, and its outer shell slowly enveloped the Machine God God's body.

It is an aurora-like, dazzling dragon.

Furthermore, he was the First Apostle under Rovi's command...

"I am your apostle, so... I will always fight alongside you."

A crisp, clear sound echoed in my ears.

A giant dragon climbed up and circled around the Rovi's.

Merlin didn't really understand herself, but she feared death and the loneliness and solitude that followed.

So she was willing to embrace her and take her away from the desolate place.

He granted her a human Spirit Origin and dispelled her emptiness.

she...

"I am willing to fight alongside you!"

"I am willing to fight!"

"This isn't a battlefield just for you, Lord Rovi!"

"..."

Countless voices, transformed into an endless torrent of will, flowed into Rovi's's perception.

"Human will is unstoppable, even in the Age of Gods... So I say, I can't stop it either, can I?" Einzbern stood before the central command tent, slowly raising and holding the book she was holding high.

Then open it.

As you turn the pages of the book, a dazzling, spreading light appears, like fireflies scattering and clinging to each and every one of you.

The Roman warriors raised their swords and found that power was emerging within them. Their bodies were unconsciously levitating and spreading a radiant light, like stars blooming in the night.

No, that is something more dazzling than the stars.

It is called the miracle of humankind.

"So-called True Magic has always been a miracle of humankind." Einzbern laughed especially happily, not just unable to stop it, but practically pushing it forward. "So-called soul is both the flow and manifestation of will, the outer shell of the Spirit Core."

"As long as the will remains and the mind endures, the soul will never cease to exist."

"So--"

"A strong and resilient will is always the greatest requirement for the Soul Materialization."

Einzbern bestowed the miracle of the ' Third Magic ' upon everyone.

Let their will overflow and form their souls, transforming them into tangible power.

Normally, this is impossible, because True Magic power originates from a mysterious source that ordinary people simply cannot bear.

But at this moment, the Roman legions were united as one.

Millions of people are all like one.

One person's strength is not enough.

But the strength of a thousand troops is more than enough!

The Roman warriors, under this influence, gained an inexhaustible source of immense power.

Roman warriors, the Roman army as a whole...

It shines brightly, like Star River.

That is what the Third Magic User can see... humanity's brilliance shines in the galaxy's future.

Yes,

Einzbern's ' Third Magic ' was finally completed at this moment.

The Soul Manifestation represents the future.

The future of the world... belongs to humanity.

Therefore, True Magic has always belonged to humankind as a miracle.

He drew his sword and pointed it to the sky, ready to conquer the heavens.

This is a miracle!

"What a bunch of... troublesome brats..." Rovi didn't move, he just watched.

He had no reason to stop the warriors from wielding their swords and demonstrating their will.

So after a moment of silence, he finally revealed a strange smile.

He looked across at the other side. "Moon King, what are your thoughts now?"

As they drew ever closer to the ground, closer to Rovi's, beneath the collapsing night sky, Blood Moon enveloped them. Brunestud looked on with disdain. "What's there to think about?"

"A mere bunch of ants... dare to point their swords at us?"

Disdain, and indifference.

Not to mention the power of the Moon Cell now, even before, when he was the pure Moon King Brunestud, he had always looked down on the humans on the ground.

They're nothing but a bunch of ants that could be crushed with a single step.

Even when someone is dismissive or disdainful, it doesn't prevent them from feeling annoyed.

What right do ants have to point their swords at Him?!

"Qualification? Our very existence is the greatest qualification!" Whether he could die or not, Rovi no longer cared.

But the sight of those who raised their swords made him realize that his choices along the way had not been wrong.

Human beings are all great.

The human will shines brightly.

"Then, let us all join me in shattering the Blood Moon in the sky!"

The army advanced, javelins raised, shields lined up like a wall, and spears thrust out from between the shields.

The red-haired female warrior brandished her sword and commanded the army to advance.

The enormous Fey Mechanical God clenched its fist, and its engine spewed forth lava and flames.

The red fairy Fey Apostle is linked to the will of everyone, while the silver-white mecha dragon surrounds them.

It's clearly in the sky.

Yet they continued marching on the battlefield as before.

Or rather, for them, the sky has long become another battlefield.

This is a miracle.

The silver-haired Third Magic User recorded and displayed miracles belonging to humanity using the ' Third Magic '.

"Insects, die!" Brunestud slowly opened his arms, waving them as the night sky sank.

The Primordial Human pointed his sword at the sky, the primordial Machine God raised his hands, his iron wings vibrated, and the Core of Chaos extended countless tentacles like thousands of hands, supporting the sky.

The commander-in-chief leads the charge and personally charges into battle.

A vast army followed closely behind.

The javelin was thrown into the sky.

The shield held it in place as it sank.

The spear pierced the vast darkness of the night, revealing the first glimmer of light like the dawn.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

A tremendous roar resounded across the continent and echoed above the sky.

The explosive sound echoed almost across the entire surface of the planet, from those conquered by Rome to those not set foot on by Rome, across the vast world from the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, everyone could see and feel it.

As the oppressive darkness of night descended, someone raised their hand to defy the heavens.

Brunestud was stunned.

She narrowed her iridescent eyes, her long golden hair cascading down her back and her skirt billowing, but her expression became extremely solemn.

Because the pressure dropped and stopped.

It stopped sinking.

It stopped falling.

Instead... it was blocked!

Rovi sighed, "This is really quite a long story!"

"If it were just me alone, I'm afraid I really wouldn't be able to withstand it."

Unfortunately, he was not alone.

pity...

Brunestud faced the challenge of confronting the 'miracle' of the sky with a mortal body!

"Rome--"

"Victory!"

With a deafening roar, the falling night shattered in an instant, raising its shield to block the descending sky, and raising its spear to pierce the dark veil that concealed the present world. The javelin was pointed at the Blood Moon, and even more so at the blond-haired Brunestud.

Amidst the rustling sounds, a chilling, resounding echo reverberated through the air.

"Damn you ants!"

Brunestud waved her hand, and a fair and perfect arm emerged from beneath her dress. Between her long, slender fingers, a crimson light shimmered, spreading like a storm and blocking the incoming javelin.

She was angry, annoyed, and somewhat surprised.

She was greeted with a punch.

In that instant Rovi seized the opportunity to close the distance and threw a punch at him. "Go to hell, you ant!"

There was a thud.

The Moon King's face contorted as he was blasted away.

The crimson light fell, and the cold glow of the Blood Moon seemed even more immense.

"A piece of trash defeated by a computer... I don't know where he gets his courage from!?" Rovi stopped, and at the same time, the massive Mechanical Body spread out its hands and clenched its fists.

Chaotic tendrils spread.

Behind him was a massive army, followed closely by dragons and fairies.

Brunestud quickly regained her footing in mid-air, her beautiful face slightly disheveled. She narrowed her crimson eyes and scanned the person opposite her.

"I underestimated you... But do you think you can fight against us with just this?" The beautiful Moon King suppressed her arrogance, her anger, and even her momentary contempt.

The falling object tore through the night sky, revealing the true darkness of night.

The vastness remains, the starlight is dazzling.

The Roman army was heavily armed and moved through the air as if they were still on the ground.

They had already won the previous duel, but Rovi knew very well that... the real confrontation had only just begun.

Brunestud's power is not limited to this.

The Moon Cell granted Him permission, so it wouldn't be so fragile.

A supercomputer capable of recording all information in the entire solar system, even if it only possesses one ten-thousandth of that power...

It remains unmatched.

"Moon Cell, grant me more permissions!"

Brunestud looked up at the real starry sky, where Blood Moon hung.

'Program codename [Brunestud]... Requesting terminal support.'

'Request for a higher license—'

Command analysis passed.

'Granting licensing rights: Increased from one-thousandth to...'

One-third of a week!

A cold, mechanical sound fell from the moon's surface.

Everyone was awed.

Tenfold improvement...

"We sense it, a powerful force!" Brunestud's appearance remained unchanged, but behind him, a crimson color spread, and a pair of enormous wings slowly unfolded.

The wings spread out, covering the sky and drowning out the stars.

Just like the night sky that had just Marble Phantasm, but these crimson wings appeared even larger and more enormous.

Ten times the strength of before.

Still within the original limits, the quantitative increase did not bring about a qualitative leap, but there is no doubt that... Brunestud has become much stronger.

Keep moving forward.

Everyone will die.

But if they had feared death, they would not have drawn their swords in the first place, nor would they have embarked on their journey to the heavens.

Boudica's expression was solemn. Under the shadow of the Machine God, Barghest's true form could only challenge the strong and excited. Merlin shadow circled in the sky, showing no sign of retreating. Ainsworth... She was in charge of the goddess of war and was not afraid of powerful enemies.

We are not afraid, and we will not back down.

"Ants are just ants after all!" As the power of the Moon Cell increased, Brunestud's eyes grew increasingly cold.

It wasn't the previous hostile coldness, but a sudden, cruel coldness.

Like a machine,

Like nature,

It is like a moon hanging high in the sky.

Gaining immense power naturally comes at a corresponding price.

The self-flowing flow and the being possessed by the Moon Cell are the same thing that Brunestud is currently encountering. This is why he did not use so many permissions before, precisely because he was afraid of this.

But now He doesn't care at all.

He only wanted to kill the group of people at his feet.

Kill them...

Brunestud waved his hand, intending to eliminate them completely as easily as crushing ants.

But His body suddenly froze.

The crimson hue that had been spreading suddenly receded.

Suddenly a sound rang out, and suddenly a figure appeared.

"Mmm—"

"What a magnificent battle! My Rome, my warriors, I have witnessed your beautiful miracles."

"But... you gentlemen, have you forgotten me?" The voice of the Roman Emperor resounded, causing Rovi to pause, Ainsworth to be startled, and thousands of his soldiers to simultaneously focus their attention.

The Roman emperor Nero Claudius was not present.

She is still in Rome.

Her figure slowly emerged from the Roman palace, stepping into the Blood Moon that night.

She gazed at the moon high in the sky, knowing that in a distant land, the soldiers of Rome were still fighting.

The Roman emperor was not at the front.

But this does not mean that Nero was unable to help them.

"The moonlight is beautiful."

"My uncle, Caligula, was once driven mad by this, and turned upside down by it."

"However—I am different from Caligula." What did Nero do when he led the Roman army on the expedition?

They did nothing, yet they did everything.

She stabilized Rome's vast territory, established her authority, and pioneered political education for the common people...

She did a lot.

I also understand more.

She understood the madness that Caligula went after single-handedly accepting the lunar gaze, and she knew the unwavering resolve of her uncle in that instant.

She also understood better that Caligula's defeat was due to...

That once wise, yet now mad Roman Emperor... never truly understood that the essence of civilization is the same.

Crazy Moon... also Rome.

"I have heard your mournful cry."

"Rome does not exclude you."

She accepted the madness of the moon.

Just like an emperor receiving his subjects.

This is what Rovi made Nero understand.

This is what Nero Claudius came up with during this period of contemplation, the Emperor's way of thinking.

"I'll play this song and witness it, I'll be perfect!"

Nero slowly opened her arms, her red skirt billowing as she moved with graceful steps, like a rose in full bloom.

—This is the Emperor's sublime dance.

Offering a dance to the music of the dancers.

It gracefully swirls and blooms like a phoenix in the emperor's courtyard.

But it is also...

It was jumping in front of Rovi's.

Standing high above the battlefield, Luo Rovi looked up and could see clearly through the vast moonlight.

Her will, in an instant, covered the sky and granted permission.

That power surpasses even the power of the Crimson Moon.

It surpasses His/Her, and is a higher level of licensing authority.

[Wang Quan]'s performance is... even higher, [Rose Emperor].

Why!?

The Crimson Moon suddenly raised its head and looked at the Blood Moon high in the sky. It looked at the shimmering Moon Cell and asked for permission.

The Moon Cell did not respond.

Only the Emperor's figure, across the vast expanse of time and space, fell into his eyes, giving Brunestud the most perfect answer—

The Crimson Emperor, named Nero Claudius, appeared under the moon.

Using the power of the Moon Cell, she traveled through time and space to arrive here, where her small yet graceful figure blossomed before Rovi's.

Soft and close-fitting, full of heart-stirring beauty.

Nero smiled and slowly embraced Rovi.

At this moment, the moonlight still hangs high in the sky.

But that bright moonlight...

Even under the emperor's command!

The Rose Emperor tiptoed, embraced Rovi, and gently kissed her.

Both Zou Zi and I are emperors!
