"Oh? You want to usurp my throne?"
Kryudera asked curiously:
"There's really no need. If you have an opinion, you can tell me directly."
"Or... do you not trust me?"
"How could I?" Yan Huan tilted his head.
"If I'm not mistaken, Laigushi has already approached you."
"How do I know he hasn't turned you against me?"
"For all I know, you're getting ready to poison me..."
"Hmph. Does the Savior have a persecution complex?" Kryudera frowned in disdain.
"As long as you can strengthen my rule, why would Caesar ever harm you?"
"Or do you have another agenda?"
"No, no. Let's get the logic straight first."
Yan Huan gestured as he spoke.
"I'm not here to strengthen anyone's rule. I'm here to save Amphoreus."
Kryudera stressed:
"Strengthening my rule is saving Amphoreus."
"You've seen it yourself. To wage war against the Titans, I'll disregard anyone's objections and commit everything I have."
"Now that you're here to help, we'll only make Amphoreus better and more stable."
"Is that so?" Yan Huan raised an eyebrow.
"In that case, announce my ascension to the throne."
"You know the oracle called me the Savior, so of course I'll save this world."
"?" Kryudera struggled to understand.
"You insist on having supreme power?"
"Because I trust the oracle, I can make you second only to me."
"But I don't like anyone above me." Yan Huan spread his hands.
"What if you lose your mind?"
"Besides, I'm not negotiating with you."
"If you won't give it to me, I'll take it myself."
Amphoreus was only one cycle away from the end.
Fourteen system-hours outside could well be several thousand years in here.
Who could guarantee that Caesar wouldn't fall for Laigushi's manipulation over those millennia? She wasn't Phainon, and she understood even less about the
