The Lyon Empire.
With the New World torn apart, the Lyon Empire now stood on the slightly smaller of the resulting continents.
Though it was the slightly smaller piece, it still accounted for nearly a quarter of the original New World's total area.
Inside the Lyon Empire's Imperial Palace.
Emperor Lyon I sat upright on his luxurious throne.
He watched the emerald-green radiance that shone across the entire world.
Lyon I's expression shifted uncertainly.
"So this is the power of a Destiny Legendary..."
"Indeed. This is the power unique to a Destiny Legendary-a domain!"
Beside him, the Eye of the Firmament's eyes shone with burning intensity.
This was the power he had pursued all his life, but unfortunately, he would never be able to possess it.
A moment later, the Eye of the Firmament regained his composure and spoke calmly.
"There is no need to dwell on it. Once you successfully achieve deification, Your Majesty, and become the emperor among gods, these so-called bearers of Heaven's Mandate will be nothing but straw men before you."
At the Eye of the Firmament's words, Lyon I's expression immediately changed, turning somewhat ferocious.
"Indeed. On the day I successfully achieve deification..."
"Everything in this world will bow at my feet."
"Heaven's Mandate?"
"I am Heaven's Mandate!"
As Lyon I's words fell, the power of faith, so dense it seemed almost tangible, faintly emerged around him.
Lyon I was attempting to ascend to the divine throne through his authority as emperor!
In the Astral Plane.
The Gnoll King Yeenoghu was fleeing frantically toward his Divine Kingdom.
Not far behind him, the Elf Empress, wrapped in green light, followed at an unhurried pace.
Right, he should now have been called the God of Gnolls.
Yeenoghu had become a Legendary a few years before Dunn.
