What is a super villain?

Chapter 53 Leaving the Illusion
In the room, Fu Xi leaned casually on a couch covered with silk, propped his elbows on the armrest to support his face, his eyes were half closed, like a sleeping statue.

On both sides of him are Tiru and Amamiya Yicheng. The two have just been called here, and he has something to say.

While the candle was flickering, Fu Xi suddenly opened his eyes.

"Madelene will be here soon."

"what?"

Both Di Lu and Amamiya Yicheng were taken aback, they didn't expect him to say such a sentence suddenly.

After her temperament changed drastically, the princess regent never came to General Ubius' mansion again.

Fu Xi straightened up from the couch, and rubbed the center of his brows. It was obvious that the Kingdom of God's confinement of the world line had been quite effective, and they were approaching the end at an unimaginable speed in the conventional process.

It has been so long in the outside world, and for a few people, it has only been a week since the festival of the gods.

"Assassination."

He slowly got up from the couch, looked around the two and explained.

For a short period of time, he has been reading various classics about the history of the Solomon Empire in the General's Mansion, and found a pattern.

Every emperor of the Solomon Empire, if not a short-lived ghost who died in his teens or 20s, would become the most devout believer of the gods after a certain point in time.

Interestingly, the emperors never promoted the belief in the gods to the people, and even forbade the citizens to believe in the gods.

What's more interesting is that according to historical records, the old emperor who was killed by him was also a good emperor who worked hard and had great ambitions when he was young.

There are even other virtues such as devotion, humility, kindness and compassion recorded in history books.

"Based on your intelligence, it shouldn't be difficult to guess that behind the big change in temperament between the old emperor and Madeleine, there is something tricky, right?"

"Ah."

Tilu nodded first. Madeleine's change was too sudden, and it was difficult to become like this due to natural reasons.

Amamiya Yicheng crossed her arms and said, "What do you want to say?"

"What I want to say is very simple. There are generally only two situations where this happens." Fu Xi stretched out his finger:
"One is that in the Solomon Empire, the emperor is not the highest power holder. There is another hidden force or person above the emperor, who can manipulate, threaten and manipulate the emperor, causing absolute influence, but it is usually hidden well; there is another However, there is a certain secret hidden in the royal family, and this secret can only be known after the emperor has been in power for a period of time. The secret is big enough to subvert the emperor's entire world view, so his temperament will change drastically. Which one do you think it will be?"

"The first type." This is Amamiya Yicheng.

"The second type." This is Tee Lu.

After the two finished speaking, they looked at each other, thinking that the other party was a fool, and actually thought it was the first/second type.

After looking at each other, Yugong Yicheng snorted softly, and turned to Fu Xi again:
"Hey! Which do you think it is?"

Fu Xi smiled and opened his hands: "I didn't say it was a multiple-choice question."

He believes that two possibilities exist at the same time. Behind Solomon's royal family must hide a person and organization that can control and influence the emperor, and the existence of this person and organization is itself subversive.

Combined with the current situation, it is very likely that it is the god himself.

Before Madeleine's temperament changed drastically, she had worriedly hinted many times that Fu Xi took Tilu to flee the Solomon Empire. Obviously, she was aware of the problem at that time.

With Fu Xi's intervention, the princess Abigail, who might have died in the god ceremony in the original history, survived.

Abigail is the person chosen by the gods. Even her biological father, who loves her the most, can't resist the pressure and is forced to make her a sacrifice in the god's ceremony.

She is still alive at this time, and the gods will presumably demand this sacrifice from the real leader of the empire, the princess regent.

That's why Madeleine wanted Fu Xi to take 'Abigail' away.

Of course, after Fu Xi pretended to be stupid and refused, sooner or later Madeleine would be defeated by the pressure of the gods and respond.

As recorded in Arthur Buffel's notebooks, there will be an assassination of those in power in the Empire.

The candlelight flickered, and shadows danced on the faces of the three of them. It was pitch black outside the house, as if all the stars in the sky were covering them.

Amamiya Yicheng gradually understood the internal logic of the development of the incident, she asked in a low voice:

"When will they do it?"

"Maybe in a few minutes, maybe in a few hours." Fu Xi replied.

Now Solomon City is in danger, maybe before dawn, the empire will change hands.

Tonight is Madeleine's last chance to do it.

"As long as we block this assassination, we can leave the Kingdom of God? Is this your judgment?"

Amamiya Yisumi nodded: "The assassination recorded in Arthur Bofill's notes is not the one that targeted the old emperor at the Tenjin Festival, but the one that targeted the next emperor after the change of the throne."

"It's good that you can understand so much, there's no need to force yourself."

Fu Xi comforted him casually, but Yugong Yicheng did not keep up with his rhythm from the beginning to the end.

Eyes turned to Teelu, who nodded at him.

At this time, Amamiya Yicheng asked again: "What should we do now? Set up defense lines, traps? Or just slip away first?"

"No need to do anything."

It was Tilu who spoke, and she had a complicated expression: "We just need to wait here."

"What do you mean?"

Amamiya Yicheng was taken aback.

There is no need to explain to her anymore, because at this moment, fierce shouts of killing came from outside the door, from far to near.

"You know our situation!"

Madeleine's mournful cry lingered in the ears of several people: "Victory! Or perish!"

"For the will of Saint Solomon!"

The soldiers responded to Madeleine.Armor collisions, death and desperate courage were mixed together, and they kept charging forward.

But the target of the charge was not the room where Fu Xi and the others were.

Fu Xi walked to the window, pushed open the closed window, and let in the scene outside.

Just like the scene of the god festival, Madeleine's sacrificial robe is covered with a silver close-fitting soft armor. She holds a sword and directs the soldiers to besiege a man in black.

"The bastard left over from Chaldea dared to betray the will of the gods. I should have killed you and all the deformed compatriots you would betray!"

The man in black gritted his teeth angrily.

His body was pierced again and again, and the wounds healed again and again.

Amamiya Yicheng stared blankly at this scene, and asked, "Didn't Madeleine come to kill the emperor?"

Neither Fu Xi nor Di Lu answered her.

Amamiya Yisumi's deduction was established a few days ago.

Because at that time, none of them knew that behind Solomon's royal family, there was another god.

The "empire in power" naturally refers to the emperor of the empire.

Nowadays, the meaning of this "power holder" has become diverse.

It can refer to Abigail, the titular empress, or the god who controls the empire behind her.

Madeleine is not the old emperor who was killed by Fu Xi in madness, she loves her stepsister Abigail more.

She was able to put all her eggs in one basket to assassinate the old emperor who wanted to sacrifice Abigail at the Celestial Ceremony many years ago, and she can also put all her eggs in one basket to defeat the Celestial at this time.

Both Fu Xi and Di Lu knew this deeply.

"Is this the story you want to tell me?"

He muttered to himself in a voice only he could hear.

"I am immortal! I am the messenger of the gods!"

The man in black broke through layer after layer of soldiers' defense, and approached Madeleine furiously:

"I will give the harshest punishment! Let Solomon and Chaldea fall into the boundless darkness of the underground, and all rebels will become vile and dirty beasts, and you, the bastard left behind by Chaldea..."

The man in black crushed the last soldier's skull and looked down at the eldest princess.

"I will use the cruelest method to make you perish forever!"

After he finished speaking, Fu Xi made a move.

The man in black had already entered the scope of the general's mansion, and Fu Xi used all of Ubius' magic entropy to pounce on him from behind.

……

As the blade slashed, time seemed to freeze.

The noisy yelling stopped abruptly, the body of the man in black stiffened suddenly, and the mask fell off his face.

It was a face without a face, indistinguishable from a god.

In an instant, everything in the Kingdom of God froze and faded, leaving only the calm and majestic vertical pupils above the sky.

This is the bifurcation point of the historical fragments of the Kingdom of God.

The messenger of the gods, who could not be killed, fell at Fu Xi's feet, completely reversing the course of historical development.

Perhaps in real history, the Solomon Empire fell under the curse of the gods, and Madeleine was turned into a beast-like god by the gods, sinking into pain and anger forever.

Her obsession lies here.

Maybe Abigail died in the celestial ceremony, and it took many years for her to realize it later, and raised her sharp blade to avenge the real culprit.

But revenge ultimately failed.

The glory of the Solomon Empire under the protection of the gods came to an end. Even if she turned into the guardian of the "God of Beasts and Vengeance", she failed to reverse the fate of the empire's demise.

Fu Xi looked at those vertical pupils.

Wudi

Bursts of thick fog rolled in, and then rolled away, Fu Xi opened his eyes from the square on the top floor of the Heixia Administration Building.
