Become Tyrant On My Own Way
Chapter 182 – POWER TRIO QUEEN
The situation is heating up in the east of the continent. Alice and the Fugitive were somehow able to dampen the situation in the northern part. Meanwhile, Stephanus and Swein dampened the situation in the south. But that's not the end.
The kingdoms and empires that had long been aiming for the Meglovia Empire finally showed their fangs. On the grounds of providing peace aid, the Tong Kong Empire began sending its soldiers to the northeast of the continent. Meanwhile, the Maosium Kingdom once again wanted to try their luck conquering the southern part of the continent.
“What should I do? For sure Mas Lou will be sad if during his departure, we can not take good care of our home.”
Looking at Talia who was pacing around restlessly, Vierra remained calm in sipping the tea that was on her desk.
“Talia, sit back and relax while you drink tea. Let's work on solving this problem with the coolest head possible.”
“Kak Vierra.”
A sad Talia hugged Vierra while venting all her vaults through tears.
“Quiet. Relax, Talia. Lucia has also struggled well. We can't lose, right? After all this is our home that we have to protect for the sake of Dik Helios as well.”
“But what can we do, brother? I can't let go of my worries for Mas Lou either. About where he is and what he is doing now. Even Albert could not be reached. Moreover, with the news of the unreasonable bird that said that Mas Lou had slaughtered civilians in the northwest, I increasingly became unable to resist worrying, Brother.”
“Tenace. Everything's gonna be okay. You must know better that Dik Helios is not that cruel person, right? It must be just cheap gossip. And even if that's true, I'm sure Dik Helios will have his own reasons for doing so. Now all we need to do is protect our home while waiting for the return of Dik Helios.”
In the midst of the conversation between Talia and Vierra, Luciana arrived.
“How was the result, Lusi?”
“The situation is really chaotic, Brother Vierra. Everyone wants to fulfill his selfish desires so that no meeting point can be found. But rather than that, I fear everything just because they are consumed by the hasudan of the paladins.”
“What does that mean, Sis Lusi?” Curiously, Talia asked.
“Entahlah. This is also just my guess. But their movements were too strange as if they were being controlled to the point of no longer being able to think logically as if black magic was controlling them. Do you know that the warriors of Tong Kong Empire have approached? But they seem completely unconcerned by it and just keep attacking to our side.”
Talia seemed to think deeply before finally speaking.
“If it's because of black magic, I think I can do something.”
“But I told you, Talia, that was just my guess. No specific evidence justifies my statement.”
“But I think it has a point too, anyway.”
Vierra suddenly confirmed the possibility spoken by Luciana.
“Means Brother Vierra?”
“Dik Helios has done his best for the empire so far that our empire is strong, both in terms of economy, food, and military. There is no reason for people to hate it when they are prosperous. The only reason they continued to blame Dik Helios was because of the tyrant's prophecy. Isn't that really weird? It is not logical that people who are prosperous will rebel even if incited even if only because of something abstract.”
“Kurasa Kak Vierra has a point too.”
Luciana confirmed Vierra's statement. However, Vierra's expression shriveled. That's because he was thinking about Damian, his best friend as a child, who has been appointed as the heir to the title of hero of the sacred temple prophecy who is currently the leader of the paladins who conduct the incitement in the east of the continent.
Vierra could not deny the fact that the situation of the continent had started to become chaotic ever since Damian was appointed as the great paladin.
“Alright, Brother Vierra, I understand. But Talia, what can you do if this is indeed black magic?”
“Ah, I have never told anyone because this is my secret with Mas Lou, but I can eliminate the black magic that affects the mind as long as it is not too deep with my words.”
Instantly both Vierra and Luciana were fixated on hearing Talia's statement. If what he said was true, doesn't that mean he's the true saint whom the holy temple has been looking for?
Then, they immediately contacted Doctor Minerva to activate the entire broadcast in various corners of the place, especially those connected to the eastern part of the continent.
Seeing that unusual look, for a moment the battlefield fell silent. Then with her voice echoing, Talia began to speak.
“Please, dear soldiers. Be aware! What is most important to you to protect? Has power? The wealth? Or is it your lust? That's wrong, isn't it? What is most important for you to protect is your family, your wife's children! So be aware and do not want to be influenced by evil whispers in your heart!”
Talia's own words were not as poets' lyrics. However, his voice echoed with holy power to the ears of everyone who heard it.
As Luciana guessed, what caused them to rebel was the black magic that amplified their negative feelings. With the holy power of Talia's words flowing directly into their ears, the black magic was erased and they immediately returned to their sanity. Those in their right mind finally released those swords from their hands.
They only froze on the battlefield, not understanding what they had been doing all along. There was only deep regret in their hearts now, lamenting the stupidity and shallowness of their minds.
Thus, the provocateurs, the paladins, were easily snatched up, and those who resisted were no longer reluctant to be eliminated. The chaos orchestrated by Damian quickly ended.
But that's not the end of everything. The threat of invasion from two directions still exists. The Tong Kong Empire in the northeast as well as the Maosium Kingdom in the South. However, thanks to the leadership of Alice and the Fugitives facing the warriors of the Tong Kong Empire, as well as the soul and spirit of Olo and the soldiers of Painfinn City facing the warriors of the Maosium Kingdom, the invasion could still be blocked.
Nunu performs his role also very well in supporting food supplies coming from the southern island route. Coupled with the agility of the queen trio in coordinating every aspect throughout the entire continent of the capital, everything was still defensible.
However, it is clear that the position of the Meglovian Empire began to falter, especially in the absence of their emperor, Helios sun Meglovia.
But even surprising things happen. The monsters from the monster forest instantly charged into the middle of the battlefield. Yet they did not attack a single warrior of the Meglovian Empire at all. The monsters only focused on attacking their enemies.
It was unclear what exactly happened and why the monsters were acting that way. Clearly, thanks to him, the invasion of the Tong Kong Empire in the northeast of the continent as well as the Maosium Kingdom in the south of the continent could be stopped thanks to the existence of those monsters.
After that, slowly, the Meglovia Empire was restored thanks to the struggle of the queens who fought hard to support their husbands who were not in place.
“Mas Lou, we can finally survive this crisis, Mas. Now we're just waiting for your return, Mas. So please no matter where you are, always be fine, Mas Lou.”
In that silent night, Talia sincerely hoped.

In the astral plane, two astral beings meet each other.
“Milanda, how are you? Didn't you use your existential energy too much this time?”
“No problem, Arxena. It's necessary. At least, this is what we can do for the sake of the elect. If he loses his loved ones again, I'm afraid he'll be mentally destroyed. You better know what the consequences would be if it happened?”
“The world will lose the heroes who are the focus of their hope. Thus, the world is guaranteed to be destroyed by the Demon King.”
“That's why I have no other way but to do this.”
“But what about the current condition of the chosen one?”
“Currently he is still fainting facing his final exam. Will the chosen one finally choose the created world of the witch which makes it no longer necessary to try hard to feel the suffering and bitterness of the world or choose to rise to save this rotten world, it all depends on the choice of the chosen one. Now, we can only encourage him from afar with hope.”
Slowly, Milanda moved closer to a large crystal ball placed on an altar covered in red cloth.
Inside the crystal ball, Helios is a form of being with her mother, Theia, floating within an astral realm filled with darkness.
“Whatever the choice, we can only respect it since we who have long disappeared, can no longer interfere in the affairs of those who are still alive.”
“You're right.”
Although Milanda said that with the intonation of the voice seemed without a moment's hesitation, Arxena was still able to catch a little of the frequency of his voice vibrating and so did his eyeballs, also slightly vibrating. Milanda was no less panicked than the others. He also sincerely prayed for Helios as a hero of the world so as not to fail.
