Imu had already given Historia the opportunity. How she chose was up to her.
No matter what, she was still a ruler.
That meant she had to learn to bear and face choices that concerned countless lives.
The same principle applied to Imu himself.
Teleporting back to the harem, he first soaked in a hot bath and enjoyed himself for a while. Then he went to the study, sat down, and activated his Star Den Den Mushi.
Earlier, he had ordered Borsalino and Shiki to switch places.
The former had returned to the Sea Star Homeworld to guard the moon, while Shiki had gone to The Familiar of Zero to deal with the revived ancient dragon and stand guard in the Elf Kingdom.
That order had now been carried out.
However, according to the report from the Otherworld Strategy Committee,
during this period, the ancient dragon had wandered throughout the former Romalia Papal State, reducing every city it encountered to scorched earth with blazing flames.
This included the former capital of the Romalia Papal State, home to the Romalia Grand Cathedral.
Fortunately, the plan Biba Amatori had pushed through before leaving—to relocate the entire population to Albion Great Sky Island—had left those cities completely empty.
Thus, although the losses were severe, they were basically all property losses.
King Wales, Queen Henrietta, Pope Vittorio, and the others were immensely relieved.
King Wales's feelings toward Biba Amatori became even more complicated.
"Looks like this dragon is searching for those Void users."
Imu murmured softly as he watched the ancient dragon in the holographic projection frantically destroy its surroundings as though venting its fury.
The dragon had once devoured a Void user, which was why it possessed its current abilities and power. It could also grow even stronger by devouring more Void users.
