Roland sat upright upon the Golden Throne.
Withdrawing his perception and sitting here to control things remotely gave him the unease of switching from driving with a steering wheel to driving on a screen with a keyboard.
But compared with the consequences of disturbing the Black Serpent sleeping outside the world, the disorder caused in the universe by slight collisions was hardly worth mentioning.

Watching warships pass between the stars and universes, Yukari Yakumo murmured to herself.
As the only person in this world besides the Dragon God, who had yet to revive, who knew the whole truth, Roland had not refused her request to watch.
Thus, she also knew the full scope of this operation.
He would command humanity, which held the lion's share of fate, in the Emperor's name, unite it into a single whole, and thereby indirectly influence the World Will through an interstellar expedition.
