I've Become the King of Villains in the Game

Before long, the once bustling street turned empty.

Only a scattering of ashes remained, blown by the wind, casting a shroud of despair over the city...

Queen Anna's voice echoed in this "Ghost City":

"Citizens of the Empire, believe that together we can overcome the external enemies and rebuild our homeland, just as you believe that the great Sun will never fall, always shining and protecting us!"

Her tone rose, becoming increasingly passionate.

Yet only the scattered ashes were there to listen...

Star Realm.

A world shrouded in darkness but filled with brilliant stars.

The half-golden, half-black Sun stood high in the sky.

As if an illusion, the Sun's edges appeared blurred, trembling violently at high frequency...

It gave an extremely unstable feeling.

At this moment, both the Rose King Mansfield and Shuoli King Priscilla arrived here, standing silently opposite each other without any communication.

Soon after, Dagon and the Scroll Keeper also appeared abruptly.

"The Sun King is about to lose control, this is a rare opportunity..."

The Scroll Keeper said softly.

"If we can share a part of his remains, even a small piece, it can grant sufficient authority... I don't think any angel would want to miss this."

As if to confirm his words.

In the distance, figures began appearing one after another, male and female, old and young, clad in attire ranging from ancient styles to modern evening gowns.

The only commonality was their indifferent expressions, lacking a certain lively emotion.

More striking was the sudden descent of starlight from the sky, as an elegant woman with perfect poise, crowned and draped in a silver resplendent gown, gracefully stepped out.

Words of the world couldn't describe her beautiful features, surrounded by Star Mist, giving a sense of nobility yet friendliness.

"True God of the Constellation, the Radiant Queen..."

A large portion of the angels bowed to her, showing due respect to a being at the end of the Sequence.

The Radiant Queen nodded slightly and smiled.

She then lifted her head, her radiant eyes gazing at the Sun, and said softly:

"Kingsley Huzzworth, I've waited too long for this day..."

All around fell silent.

The high-ranking beings present silently awaited.

Waiting for the moment when the Sun King would completely lose control.

To them, a hundred years is but a blink of an eye, let alone that the Sun King would lose control long before then.

But not long after.

The high-ranking figures suddenly turned their heads, their expressions subtly changing, exclamations rising one after another.

Two figures could be seen slowly approaching from the other end, the sudden footsteps particularly jarring in the dead quiet of the Star Realm.

One with short black hair, wearing round-framed glasses, donned in a velvet robe, walking with hands behind his back as if strolling leisurely.

The other had a short ponytail, with two strands of long hair falling in front, wearing a black tailcoat with long tails, elegantly holding a wine glass in his white-gloved right hand, left hand behind his back, walking upright.

"Mr. Jing Yao! King of Slaughter!"

The angels were quite astonished.

If the arrival of the Radiant Queen was expected, then Mr. Jing Yao's arrival was truly startling, and what left them even more shocked was—

The King of Slaughter, Conrad, had actually become a god!

Following the early Fourth Era, after the fall of the Bone Burial Elder, another new god ascending the path of conspiracy to Sequence Zero was now emerging before them, after many millennia!

The aura from Conrad was extremely restrained, completely different from most angels, and even from Mr. Jing Yao beside him.

Neither surging murderous intent nor terrifying oppression.

But ordinary and harmless, at first glance, just like an average person.

This was even more chilling.

The angels, with extraordinary intellect, quickly figured out some things upon contemplation...

Back then.

After the Red Calamity, the Generous Council replaced the Red Apple Church as one of the Seven Gods Church, with Conrad, as the Righteous God of the Empire, obtaining enough anchor points and Sanity, thus successfully suppressing the Death Twin Stars to seize dual conspiracy authority.

At the Sunset City incident, Conrad emerged as the ultimate winner, killing Rosy Gardener Dolomi Purness, acquiring the crucial fifth Unique Divinity, the Flesh Authority.

Recently, the death of Sun King Andre directly led to the unresolved epoch war, which was actually the deification ritual of the King of Slaughter!

He ascended to Sequence Zero!

And in this process, there was an extremely crucial figure...

The King in Azure, Jack Spett!

In the entire process of Conrad becoming a god, the significant stages happened in just these few years, and the King in Azure was his greatest ally!

One might say it's a substantial credit!

In that instant, the present angels suddenly realized.

They admired the ambition of the King of Slaughter and were astonished by the schemes of the King in Azure, the union of these two was truly hair-raising.

Fortunately, the King in Azure had already died due to the Sun King's divine retribution...

"Apologies, everyone present."

Conrad chuckled lightly, surveying the Star Realm, and spoke softly.

He raised the wine glass in his hand.

Through the crimson wine, those calm eyes could be faintly seen.

"The Sun King cannot die yet, especially not by your hands."

The angels all frowned.

Though unhappy with the King of Slaughter's dominance, none dared to rebut... After all, Conrad was already a True God, standing atop the pinnacle of the world.

Moreover, beside him stood Mr. Jing Yao.

The angels present, even combined, were unlikely opponents for these two.

Even adding the Radiant Queen...

The True God of the Constellation had two Unique Divinities taken by the Sun God in the early years, truly, her current strength might only be that of an Angel King with a True God status.

The angels did not converse, but each was quite discerning.

Quickly, the first left, followed by more and more.

The joint presence of the King of Slaughter and Mr. Jing Yao, the divine mandates of two True Gods, no angel dared disobey.

Even if the current Sun King resembled a delicious cake everyone wanted to share, by the cake were two guillotines.

The two sharpest guillotines in the world!

Anyone daring to approach would surely face obliteration.

As the Rose King and Shuoli King left one after another, Dagon and the Scroll Keeper exchanged a glance and vanished with gloomy faces.

Until only the Radiant Queen remained in the Star Realm.

This indescribably beautiful woman turned and gave a faint smile to Mr. Jing Yao.

"Angela, you're still so unromantic."

However, Mr. Jing Yao simply replied calmly:

"Losing authority is better than losing one's life, Jessica."

Conrad watched the two with interest, smiling.

The Radiant Queen said nothing more, snorted coldly, and transformed into a starlit river, dispersing.

Mr. Jing Yao nonchalantly lit a cigarette, looking up at the starry sky and the massive half-golden, half-black Sun, puffing smoke, and said without turning his head:

"Is this also that young man's plan?"

"Mm."

Conrad took a step forward, taking a sip of wine.

He recalled what Jack had said to him that day in the Drunken Tavern as his final words—

"...Since the Sun King cannot die yet, I will personally handle it after I become a god, and will also deal with the threats from ancient beings and foreign gods from the outside! If you trust me, then I will wholeheartedly assist you in becoming a god!"

Thinking back, Conrad found the King in Azure's words incredibly arrogant, yet he inexplicably trusted him.

Raising his wine glass to the void, he appeared solemn.

"Thank you."

Mr. Jing Yao knew very well to whom he was expressing gratitude.

Then he heard the King of Slaughter speak calmly again:

"One day without return, the warfare will not cease, and the continuous feedback from the ritual is enough for you to ascend to Eternity... when you come back, my friend."
