The top leadership of the Human Federation was in complete disarray, with various plans being proposed and then rejected one by one.
In this day and age, everything is touted as civilization, and the power of the past is now being divided up. In order to align with the path of civilization and human rights, electoral and conference systems have been specifically introduced.
From a historical perspective, the division of imperial power into multiple entities, eliminating the former emperor's lofty position and unbridled power over life and death, was indeed an effective constraint on power.
However, from the perspective of the national system itself, this approach also has considerable drawbacks.
The lack of succession and the absolute nature of power mean that those at the top either unite to share profits internally, or they become extremely corrupt after taking office, just to justify their past efforts.
At the same time, the distribution of power and the parliamentary system mean that everything needs to be discussed on a large scale. Often, a decree can be delayed for several years and is difficult to implement. Even if it is lucky enough to pass through parliament, it may be blocked by a new parliament a few years later.
Such a system makes the Human Federation like Europe on Earth, living off the benefits of technology and the legacy of the times. Incumbent officials and even parliamentary governments do nothing but reach into their own pockets to make money.
If it weren't for the fact that modern technology has already advanced to the point of liberating human labor, and that near-limitless production capacity makes this pie sufficiently substantial, the Human Federation would probably have been completely devoured by these parasites long ago.
Therefore, this system has allowed Norton's throne in Biyang to reach the Holy City, while the Human Federation there has yet to come up with a plan after its first failed defense.
In contrast, Norton, who wields immense power, can overturn the world with his every word and action, without needing divine intervention.
The ruins of the former Holy City of the Southern Continent have now been transformed into a new metropolis.
Thanks to the indiscriminate release of nuclear weapons in the Northern Continent, very few ancient ruins have been preserved in the Southern Continent. As a result, the ruins of this Holy City have long lost their former appearance. In fact, due to geographical issues, they have been developed into a transportation hub on a plain, surrounded by high-rise buildings.
But now, in this vast city, stands a colossal throne, the size of a skyscraper, that was just forcibly pulled in.
"Aaaaaah!!! It's a monster..."
"Mom, Mom, you damned monster, give me back my mom..."
"My car! My house!"
A faint, mournful cry rose from afar, carried by the wind to the high places, reaching the ears of the pale figure on the pure silver throne.
Such pitiful cries did not elicit the slightest sense of remorse, nor did they cause him the slightest concern.
The screams, as if crushed by his throne, were merely ants crawling by on the roadside, barely noticeable.
The exalted throne, over two hundred meters high, offers a view of the clouds even higher up, and a panoramic vista of the surrounding landscape.
The culprit who caused the turmoil in the Garden of Eden now sits quietly on his throne, staring blankly ahead. From beginning to end, the Pale God Norton has not even moved his eyes.
Abraham and Elizabeth had already returned to human form and were now standing cautiously on either side of the throne, not daring to make a sound.
Besides their overwhelming fear, Abraham and Elizabeth were also quite confused.
One is the feeling of being unable to adapt to the present era due to the revival after thousands of years of decline.
Secondly, their inner memories are often chaotic, and they feel that various things that were originally fictitious have now been fabricated into their memories, making it difficult for them to distinguish what their relationship with His Majesty really is.
For example, Abraham betrayed His Majesty and exterminated the population of the Southern Continent in order to become a god, all to make Garden of Eden forget the existence of the gods...
That shouldn't be the case. Could Abraham really have such great abilities?
Putting everything else aside, Abraham was loyal to Your Majesty from the moment he saw you; how could he possibly have such a rebellious thought?
If it weren't for the fact that his past memories hadn't faded away with the interweaving of new ones, Abraham would have truly believed that he had wiped out the population of the Southern Continent!
Abraham was filled with fear, and the image of ten thousand years ago involuntarily surfaced in his mind again.
Especially the scene of someone smugly and confidently betraying you, only to discover it was actually a carefully orchestrated scheme by Your Majesty, sends chills down your spine.
I was definitely influenced by His Majesty.
"This guy's already making moves right after the recovery?"
Why is this? Does this mean the climb is not yet over?
"Then where did Your Majesty come from, and how did you suddenly appear on this throne that I prepared for you?"
Abraham was filled with fear and unease, constantly stealing glances at the pale figure seated on the throne.
Compared to ten thousand years ago, Your Majesty's current state is significantly different.
Although Existence Level Majesty was supreme and of unparalleled status ten thousand years ago, regardless of whether he feigned indifference or pretended to be a supreme god, his physical presence always gave the impression that he was still a living being, only incredibly powerful.
This feeling stems from the Pressure emanating from His Majesty himself.
But His Majesty today is completely different from before.
First of all, the terrifying pressure that had been faintly felt on his body at all times had completely disappeared.
Although his body was far more divine than before, and even his eyes had turned golden, Abraham, even now that he was so close, still could not feel the slightest bit of anything from His Majesty.
If he closed his eyes, he would never have noticed His Majesty's presence.
But this feeling isn't one of emptiness. It's more like Your Majesty sitting there, becoming the Silver Throne; Your Majesty flying in the air, becoming the air; Your Majesty standing on the ground, becoming one with the ground...
This is a change in perception, rather than simply a sense of concealment that only involves hiding one's physical form.
Secondly, His Majesty also gave him a very strange feeling.
He felt that at this moment, every emperor he saw was completely different from the emperors of the past.
For example, if he sees His Majesty now, then the next second he might feel like he's seeing His Majesty ten years from now.
He even felt that His Majesty did not exist in the present time, or rather, that every His Majesty he saw was a combination of His Majesties from different times.
Or rather, in all timelines, there is only one His Majesty. When he does not look at His Majesty, His Majesty does not exist before his eyes.
When he looked over, His Majesty would once again reveal his solitary figure...
Abraham could not understand this feeling; he only felt fear, helplessness, and confusion.
Abraham could at least understand the previous Existence Level, and Norton at least seemed like a real person, someone who could feel genuine vitality in him. But now, Norton had completely lost that vitality; instead, he felt like a condensation of a pattern, an embodiment of will.
