The villainous prince who bullied Feng Aotian was actually myself.

You're still no match for your uncle.

With God's help, Naden felt he was practically sitting on the throne of the Fchester Empire.

Thinking this way, Naden suddenly felt that his future was bright.

He walked briskly forward with his head held high and chest out, and finally arrived at the temple of the goddess of justice.

He saw the beautiful woman with an extraordinary aura sitting on the throne in the temple from afar.

The woman's image is almost identical to the statue of the Goddess of Justice sculpted in the Church of Justice, so it is easy to guess that she must be the Goddess of Justice.

This was the first time Naden had ever seen the goddess alive in her human form. Her eyes were covered by a white silk cloth, and her chin, nose, and lips were exceptionally beautiful, especially her luscious red lips. Because her full appearance was obscured, the goddess seemed incredibly mysterious, making one want to remove the cloth and see her completely.

Naden became quite engrossed in watching.

As expected of a god, although both she and a mortal woman are women, there is a qualitative difference between them.

"Ahem, Imperial Uncle, it's very impolite of you to stare at the goddess like that."

A voice that Naden found extremely inappropriate rang out, gradually bringing him back to his senses from his inexplicable and blind yearning for the goddess of justice.

Are these gods? No wonder they make people want to follow and worship them so easily. They don't use any illusions, yet they can make those who see them yearn for them like madmen.

Once he regained consciousness, Naden belatedly realized that he seemed to have been mentally manipulated. This caused him to completely break free from his infatuation with the goddess of justice and develop a sense of fear and vigilance towards the gods.

I really have to thank the person who just woke me up.

But the person who just woke me up sounded so familiar, and—he actually called me Imperial Uncle?!

Naden looked toward the source of the sound and saw Leon sitting there casually, looking at him with a strange, half-smiling expression.

"Leon, what are you doing here?"

Naden was puzzled. He looked up at the goddess of justice at the very top, but the goddess of justice did not seem to be offering any explanation.

"Please sit down, Imperial Uncle."

Leon pointed to the spot opposite him.

"What are you doing?"

Naden sat down opposite Leon.

He initially thought it was the goddess of justice trying to befriend him, but the fact that Leon was also there left Naden somewhat confused.

“Uncle, although you are far away in the North Sea, I think you should be aware of what has happened in Guberlan recently.”

After Naden was seated, Leon finally spoke.

"Yes, Caesar died mysteriously, and you took the opportunity to sit on the throne."

Naiden scoffed, "I don't know how you managed to get Leon to submit to you willingly, but it's absolutely impossible for me to."

"Caesar?"

Leon smiled. "He's not some Caesar. Now I think I should tell you the truth."

"the truth?"

Naden was puzzled.

“Yes, Naden, maybe I should call you brother instead of uncle.”

Leon continued.

"what do you mean?"

Naden frowned. He felt that Leon's words were utterly absurd. It was like your son, whom you've raised for many years, suddenly telling you that he actually shares the same father as you.

How the hell can anyone accept this?!

"You've heard..."

After giving a brief overview of Caesar's situation, Leon told Naden about it.

"..."

After hearing this, Naden felt as if the world had gone mad.

"So, my brother Caesar became a scapegoat a long time ago, and the emperor Caesar who came after him was always my father. My father never left the throne; he just changed his identity?"

Naden found it unbelievable; it was simply unbelievable. Furthermore, in his interactions with Caesar after he became emperor, he had not discovered any problems with Caesar.

"This...this is impossible! He knows everything that Caesar and I just learned! And his personality is exactly the same as Caesar's, how could it all be an act!"

Naden refused to accept this fact; he held his head in his hands, his expression pained, as if he were desperately trying to recall some memory.

"But that's just how it is. There's no doubt that Hoyle I is Caesar. Perhaps the goddess knows when the real Caesar died?"

Leon looked at the goddess of justice at the very top.

The Goddess of Justice has always been watching over humanity, especially the royal family of Gubelland; she would certainly be keeping a close eye on them. One might secretly advance to the rank of Archangel and orchestrate the ascension ritual without anyone knowing, but it's impossible for him to hide anything from the Goddess of Justice.

Other deities should also know this.

And all of this, the gods chose to acquiesce.

Little did anyone expect that Hoyle I's ambitions went beyond ruling the human world; he also wanted to rule over all the gods in the entire astral plane of this world.

This forced the gods to join forces to kill Hoyle I, but without Leon, even if all the gods gave their lives, they probably still wouldn't have been able to defeat Hoyle I.

Leon can no longer count on them to repay his kindness. These gods only exist for themselves, and morality is used to restrain humanity. When you become a god and possess power that humans cannot restrain you, then you can no longer abide by human rules, and you can even set rules for humanity.

Is all of this real?

Naden looked at the goddess at the very top.

"Yes."

This time, the goddess responded.

"Row……"

Nadeen looked at Leon. "So, you're the one who saved the world?"

"You can understand it that way."

"Leon replied."

"In that case, you are indeed the most suitable person to be the emperor."

"Nedden said."

"Uncle, if the civil war continues, it might destroy the country. Is it really worth it for the throne?"

Leon continued.

"Heh, Leon, if that's the case, why don't you step down from the throne and let me be the emperor?"

Naden sneered, "You're telling me all this so you can make me surrender without a fight, then take the opportunity to kill me so you can rest easy as your emperor, right?"

Chapter 51 The Advantage Lies With Me

"kill you?"

Leon scoffed, "Nedon, who do you think you are? I respect you as my royal uncle, but do you really think I can't kill you if I want to?"

"I only want to fight this pointless civil war with you out of consideration for the greater good of the nation."

Leon sneered, "Do you think I want to be emperor? Leon and I are the same, we don't want to be emperor either. We originally intended to give you the throne, but you are too narrow-minded right now, only thinking about this supreme power. For the safety of me and Leon, we cannot give you the throne."

"Is it?"

Naden smiled. "Then you give me the throne, and I promise to protect you and Leon."

"Judging from your current performance, your statement is not very credible."

Leon said, "And from what I've observed, Naden, you're only suited to be a general. You're not cut out for the emperor's position. Leon may be young, but he's far more suitable than you."

"In the end, you still want to be the emperor yourself, all that bullshit about the greater good of the country."

"Nedon scoffed."

"Since you insist on thinking that way..."

Leon said, "Then this war can only continue. If you choose to surrender, you will remain the regent and continue to lead your troops as the King of the North Sea. But if you insist on fighting, I will have no choice but to kill you for the greater good, in the name of betrayal, and bear the infamy for thousands of years."

How can you be so sure you'll win?

Naden laughed loudly, "I don't understand where your confidence comes from. We have the numerical advantage right now. No matter what, 300,000 against 130,000, the advantage is on our side!"

"Haha, alright, then let's see who's the best on the battlefield."

Leon smiled and then said nothing more.

"Row."

Naden got up to leave, but he froze after taking only one step.

He is currently in the divine kingdom of the Goddess of Justice. He was forcibly pulled into the kingdom, and unless the goddess lets him go back, it is clear that he cannot leave the kingdom on his own.

Leon, despite saying he wanted to fight, remained seated in the chair and showed no intention of getting up to leave.

"My Goddess, what's going on?"

Naden looked at the goddess at the very top.

But at this moment, the goddess of justice on the throne had somehow turned into a lifeless statue, and she had vanished without a trace.

"You've conspired with the Goddess of Justice to imprison me!"

Naden gritted his teeth in anger.

"How can you call it house arrest?"

Leon laughed, "Aren't I trapped here with you? I could say you're colluding with the Goddess of Justice to imprison me."

"Leon, what are you trying to do?"

Nadeen glared at Leon, "Are you just like Leon, only knowing how to resort to such despicable tactics?"

"Is this despicable? I just invited you over to chat as uncle and nephew. Did I do anything to hurt you?"

Leon laughed.

"You... what kind of ability did you use to collude with the Goddess of Justice?"

"Colluding with the goddess? No, no, no, I have never made any deal with the goddess, and the goddess has not taken sides between you and me. The goddess of justice has always been a symbol of fairness. She could not bear to see the people suffer, so she decided to punish us two war criminals who started the war. That's why we are both trapped here. At this moment, all we need to do is reflect on our mistakes."

Leon, like an old charlatan, spoke with a devout expression as he drew a cross on his heart, symbolizing the judgment of evil.

"You bastard! Since that's the case, I'll have no choice but to kill you here."

Nadeen charged forward angrily and swung his fist at Leon.

But Leon easily dodged it, and used the momentum to grab Naden's arm, throwing him to the ground.

"Uncle, you are too weak now. You can't beat me at all."

Leon laughed.

Naden had been stuck at the Obsidian level, while Leon had already reached the King level, making it as easy for him to defeat Naden.

"When did you become so strong? You don't have the Divine Weapon anymore, so how come you're leveling up so fast!"

Naden couldn't believe that he was now so pathetic that he was subdued by Leon with one hand.

A year ago, Leon was only a Platinum-level player, and although he was chosen by the Divine Martial Arts, he couldn't use its power. I could have easily crushed him with one hand. But now, it's me who's getting utterly thrashed by him.

This growth rate... is simply terrifying.

How could anyone advance so quickly?

It must be fake!

Leon used some method to temporarily increase his strength; he was just trying to scare himself.

"Is it?"

Thinking this, Naden immediately stood up again and attacked Leon once more.

Leon gave Naden no chance at all, this time directly punching Naden hard on the bridge of his nose with two punches, followed by a rising dragon punch that went straight for his chin, instantly beating the arrogant North Sea King Naden so badly that he lost his bearings.

At this moment, Naden finally truly felt Leon's power.

He can't outsmart Leon, and he can't beat him in a fight either.
