"Buzzing..."
The desktop vibrated slightly, but the vibration was so small that it made the desktop tremble and even caused the pen next to it to roll off the table.
Abraham shakily lowered his hand, feeling as if the document in his hand was burning hot, like lava.
He knew His Majesty had killed many, but he hadn't expected His Majesty to have killed so many!
Thirty years ago, the entire Southern Continent had a population of 2.5 billion, but now only less than 400 million remain.
The transportation lines and megacities that the Southern Continent had built up over a century were all destroyed in an instant. Various large factories were destroyed, and the docks were reduced to ruins. The industrial system, along with the urban system, was reduced to the pre-liberation state in one fell swoop.
It's even worse than before it was built, since there were no ruins back then.
The Southern Continent today is so bad that even calling it ruins is a stretch!
It can be said that this Godfall War truly wiped out two generations of the entire Southern Continent!
Abraham could hardly imagine how brutal the great purge that would ensue against their Pale Holy See would be if His Majesty did not appear for a century!
At that time, he, the number one person under Your Majesty, will inevitably become the criminal who takes Your Majesty's place on trial, and will surely be sentenced to death with extreme torture!
Look what Norton from Biyang has done!
Now that he's dead, Abraham still gets punished!
"No, I have to find a way out! A way out that can get me Abraham, out of this!"
Abraham trembled all over, gritting his teeth as he stared at the statistics in his hand.
Things are different now than they were back then.
In the past, before the advent of advanced technology, Abraham could live a carefree life for hundreds of years with his powerful physique. But now, there are not only cannons and machine guns, but also nuclear bombs, devastating weapons.
With today's advanced technology, Abraham's individual strength is no longer as advantageous, and he may even struggle to exert any real deterrent effect!
In this way, even if the Southern Continent doesn't settle scores with him, the East Continent and even the Northern Continent will have to settle scores with him!
The eternal nature of Vampire holds immense appeal for any emperor. In the past, when the emperor was alive, they dared not act arrogantly and domineeringly. Now that the emperor is gone, they will go to great lengths to destroy any Vampire of higher Existence Level than themselves, thus ensuring the emperor's immortality and Existence Level.
And liquidation is the perfect excuse!
Abraham lived for over a thousand years. While he might not be as adept at scheming and plotting as His Majesty, who could maintain his facade like a tortoise, he certainly possessed a certain level of insight.
He knew the fickleness of humanity and understood his own great flaws, so he needed to find a way out for himself, a way that could divert everyone's attention and remove him, Abraham, from the list!
But how can we find this path?
Abraham's eyes flickered as he stared intently at the doorway.
If people want to stop thinking about him and not judge Abraham as a substitute for Norton, then it is necessary to reduce Abraham's crimes and provide another substitute for Abraham.
This person cannot be Elizabeth, because he cannot control Elizabeth and completely does not understand her thoughts.
But right now, there is an excellent candidate...
In a short time, Abraham had already devised a plan.
"Your Majesty, I hope you won't be returning too soon this time..."
Abraham took a deep breath, deeply aware of his own difficulties.
But there's no way around it; it's a matter of sacrificing fellow Daoists to save myself!
Since His Majesty was sealed away for 1,500 years last time and has not shown up for more than a year, it is very likely that His Majesty will not be able to return for the time being. Therefore, Abraham should take control and fight for the continuation of the Vampire race!
"Your Majesty, this old servant has offended you!"
Thinking of this, Abraham suddenly stood up and then shouted out:
" Pale God Norton's past rule was brutal and inhumane, indiscriminate in right and wrong; he was First Stage tyrant, utterly incompetent!"
Under its rule, the Holy Empire was in chaos, with famine and death everywhere, and the people suffering terribly. This scene had long been witnessed and pained me, Prince Abraham, the Vampire. However, in the past, the Pale God was powerful, his word was law, and he was cruel and inhumane. This left me, Prince Abraham, speechless and choked with grief, daring to be angry but not daring to speak out.
I, Abraham, was indeed cowardly and lacking in courage in the past, but things are different now.
The Pale God has fallen completely in the God War, which is the foundation of universal harmony. I, Abraham, have already understood my own heart and know my past cowardice and the sorrow of all things.
Therefore, I, Abraham, have completely broken with that Pale God Norton, and I will remain true to myself and do everything in my power to save the Southern Continent from fire and water!
A roar brought a new spring to the shattered Southern Continent.
In the first year of Maria's reign, the Pale Holy See established a pope, and the Vampire Prince Abraham ascended to the throne. In order to distinguish himself from the former Pale God Norton and to show a break with him, he changed his title from 'His Majesty' to ' Grand Patriarch '. He is known in history as the ' Uncrowned King '.
As the saying goes, a new broom sweeps clean, and this Uncrowned King Abraham, began to burn fiercely with his own flames from the moment he took office.
On his first day on the throne, Edict of His Crimes '.
He listed 11,111 sins of the former Pope, Pale God Norton, and blamed all the reasons for the current depopulation of the Southern Continent on the missing Pale God Norton. Then, in public, he used scissors to cut a red rope as a ritual to declare his righteous severance from the former Pope Pale God Norton.
In the final part of his coronation ceremony, he made a grand vow to turn the tide, repair the city, and create a peaceful and prosperous world where everyone is happy!
Although the Godfall War ended a year ago, the infrastructure in various places has not yet been restored, and the ruins have not even been cleared. In fact, the current situation is far worse than during the war.
During the Godfall War, all civilians were the vulnerable group. They were either forcibly conscripted, forced into labor, or died in the war. Forget about bandits who took advantage of the chaos or warlords who established their own armies. Under the strong pressure of the two great empires of the Northern Continent and Southern Continent, everyone was a law-abiding citizen, and could only be a law-abiding citizen. Even the city gangs completely disappeared, losing their space to survive.
However, with the end of the Godfall War and the collapse of the two great empires, few people went to clean up the ruins immediately. Instead, various gangs, groups, mafia, and even bandits emerged at the first opportunity.
Cities unaffected by the war were relatively well-managed, while those affected by the war were in complete chaos.
Taking advantage of the chaos, people looted, killed, and raped. All sorts of petty thieves emerged. Some even openly abducted women in the city, torturing them or forcing them into prostitution. Furthermore, some disaster victims gathered together to form bandit strongholds, sweeping through the city daily and killing people in the streets, turning from victims into new perpetrators.
Just as after an earthquake, the first to arrive are not emergency responders but armed soldiers, the evil of human nature is only now beginning to emerge in the post-war Southern Continent after it has lost effective control.
How could Abraham, an old man who had lived for over a thousand years, not know about such drawbacks?
Therefore, the first order issued by Pope Abraham after his accession to the throne was to conscript troops and forcibly suppress the rebellion!
Anyone who takes advantage of the chaos to commit evil deeds should be shot on the spot, without trial!
