25

In the morning I get up and am greeted by a new maid. Azula princess of the fire nation and girl with an intense daddy fetish is my maid of the day. "Good morning Emperor." She says with a deep bow to me.

"Good morning daughter, I am going to hit the baths let Albedo know I would like an update soon." I say looking at the teen.

I am sitting in the warm waters with slimes roaming my body to clean it when Albedo enters. "My lord." She says following the bathing etiquette and rinsing after greeting me in the kneeling positon.

"Report." I command simply as I watch her soap up.

"My lord, in the Slane Theocracy the final stages of the war are commencing. After the people of that nation were swept up into the war each angel took a contingent of humans to the next city with them. The army grew so massive that your generals have split up and each taken a different city. Within the week the entire nation will be yours, Natasha has sent in her spiders to inflitrate any resistance movements that may spark up. From the inside she plans to end all possible threats to your rule my Emperor." She continues as she approaches the pool and enters the water.

"In the Elf Kingdom, Mare, Aura, Chiron and Esmeralda are preparing the nation for your rule. It was previously held together only by the fear of the previous king. He was what these new worlders call Godkin, and his father was a Elf player from the destroyed Greed Kingdom. After we resurected him demiurge put him under his control and we were able to learn many things. I have a detailed report ready for you with your maid outside but this thing looks like it can't wait." She gestures to my raging hardon.

"It relieves my heart to have such a reliable prime minister in you Albedo." I say gently carressing her cheek as I give her a soft kiss. "You are right about the report having to wait but make sure you fully interrogate that elf cunt for everything he knows."

After some fun with my demon queen I look over the list of information extracted from the elf king. It is clearly biased and the questions that Albedo and Demiurge asked were too narrow for my taste. I wrote down several more to ask for broad strokes of the rise and fall of the Greed Kingdom. I handed the papers back to Albedo and walked back into my office.

I checked in with my Hanzos and found nothing pressing for the moment outside the kingdom. I pulled Azula into my lap while sitting at my desk. I enjoyed watching her normaly scowling face blush and feeling her body squirm against me. Her tight athletic body had a olympic hurdler's ass and I enjoyed squezing it as I thought up plans. "Azula what do you believe the most important part of running a country to be?"

"I believe that a strong ruler is the most important part father." She says trying to look serious as she sits on my lap. "I believe that fact alone is why Narzarick is indomitable."

"Thank you for the compliment daughter." I say squeezing her butt again as she looses her composure at the 'daddy' play. "I think that the one at the top must have subordinates that believe in the leader. A lone man can do great things but a leader of great people can bring about glories unfathamable."

"Like you and the other Supreme Beings?" She asks panting.

"Yes and like now with the support of the denizens of Nazarick." I say. "Now would you like to accompany me to my bed chambers my little pyromaniac?" Her nod makes me stand and princess carry her to my bedroom for some fun time with the ATLA princess.

After wrapping up with the princess I call for Demiurge to meet with me. I sit on the throne and watch as Demiurge enters from the far side walking at a brisk pace. "My lord!" He says excitedly kneeling before my throne with a smile on his demonic face.

"Demiurge my son, it is good to see you. I hope I haven't burdened you too much with that minor war." I say with a smile at my secretary of state.

"Of course not father, it has been a gift to be able to torture heretics. The information I have been able to collect from the head preists have given me a slight inkling into your plans." He says standing at my gesture in his chinese outfit.

"Very good! Let me hear something you have figured out with their knowledge." I say my smile going ear to ear.

"Firstly, the Theocracy has methods to make tier 1-4 scrolls." I just nod non-committally.

'I was aware of this through my past life and was able to confirm it with hanzos.' His surprise at my lack of surprise makes me smile internally.

He give a determined look as he tries to whip out the big guns. "They had a method of making red YGGDRASIL lower tier health potions."

"Though cost efficient their methods are not. This is why I have put Lizzie in Carne Village on making an alternative version." I say and his face is caught up in a look like he is failing me. "Think deeper and broader son, if I knew all this why would I bother to make them attack me?"

He contemplates and his glasses shine for a moment as he pushes them up. "You sought to punish those who benefited from the work of the Supreme Beings."

"I don't believe I am so quick to vengeance as you are implying." I say giving him a finger motion to keep working through it.

"You wish to end the faith they practice?" He says getting more desperate.

"Then why would I not bother with the Holy Roble Kingdom?" I ask back.

"That must simply be a benefit then... You seek something larger... Longer term benefits then just the destruction of one nation." I see his mind flicking between different benefits of my recent actions. "The larger threat!"

"Explain my son, tell me how deep you see." I say watching his face as a crooked grin appears.

"I believe you seek to secure a border before entering the desert kingdom. I believe you want the floating castle of the greed kings said to be the home of the Platnium Dragon Lord." He says with a wicked smile.

"Bravo my son. P.D.L. is one of the few who could be a threat to you all. He is the son or grandson of the bastard dragon we tricked into opening the way here. The floating castle as you said was a player base in YGGDRASIL, not unlike our home. I believe there are many worthwhile things that could be of use if we capture that base. I am not in a rush for this to happen, but the border would prevent others from exploring there and allow us to watch his movements." I say leaning back in my chair and watching his expression.

"There is more I am not seeing isn't there father?" Demiurge says after a moment.

"Aye my son. We walk the path of the Thousand Fold Thought." His wide eye expression makes me cheer internaly. 'Thank you R. Scott Baker.'

"THOUSAND!" Demiurge shouts, looking at me as though I broke the pedestal he had me on and replaced it with an even larger one.

"This is the way my son... As leaders we must see far beyond and understand what comes before." I say pumping up my aura to add to the mystery of my words.

"What comes before?" He questions hanging on every word now.

"It is what shapes the decisions of men and takes away free thought. All with the guise of informed choices or gut instinct." I say and his glasses shine.

"What comes before shapes everything after... But not you?" He whispers at the end.

"You came to the world, and you saw that Men were like children." I say, my memory praphrasing a master manipulator. "It is their nature to believe as their fathers believed. To desire as they desired… Men are like wax poured into moulds: their souls are cast by their circumstances. But as obvious as this is, it escapes them. Because they cannot see what comes before them, they assume nothing comes before them. Nothing. They are numb to the hammers of circumstance, blind to their conditioning. What is branded into them, they think freely chosen. So they thoughtlessly cleave to their intuitions, and curse those who dare question. They make ignorance their foundation. They confuse their narrow conditioning for absolute truth."

"You are the All Father and cast for men to make themselves in your image. They will believe how you want them to believe because they do not understand or feel the hammers blow. This is how you know what they will decide and how to shape the right tool for your desires?" He asks his mouth hanging open in awe.

"The thousand fold thought is the thread of act and consequence. A master of this technique may see a desirable destination many years down the line. Then with a nudge of a moment or two have the desired outcome laid before his feet with no more effort, exactly when and where he wanted it." I say my mysterious aura at its cap. 'Kind of like getting Momonga to date Buku. Eventually leading them to have kids and then quitting the game leaving all their possessions to me. Even the lowly way of deception is the high road when royals take it.'

"The mind of a Supreme Being... No this would only be possible for the leader of Supreme Beings. To bend the world around you to deliver everything to your feet." His wistful words and massive smile make me happy.

"This technique is not something I use often or for very far out." His surprise is apparent. "My son knowing everything would be boring and provide me no challenges that may help me grow further. Just like you enjoy figuring out my plans I enjoy a small bit of mystery." I say with a wink at him and a laugh.

"My lord I am in awe of your wisdom." He bows again.

"So tell me how are things with Renner?" I ask the boy.

"My lord she may be more cruel then me." He says with a love stricken face. "I had to curb many of her plans to follow your ROE."

"Sounds like a match made in hell to me." I grin down at him and he nods happily. "I was thinking of how to snag the roses in one swift move. Set up the 6 arms to put them on the ropes in a few weeks. Then have Renner bring up me as a solution."

"My lord having Renner make a political outreach to you would destroy the capital we have been building." He says.

"Exactly." I say.

"But the Blue Roses wouldn't be sanctioned for inviting a fellow warrior to visit." He says nodding and holding his chin.

"Remember I want Humans to be the threat. We don't want a situation that adds bad reputation to nonhuman races." I reach into my inventory and pull out the 3 crystal demon item Ulbert made. "Here my son. A creation of Ulbert that was a work in progress. It is a symbol that not all plans come together perfectly but amazing things can still be made."

I stand from my throne and walk down the steps to him as he kneels with tears in his crystal eyes. I place it in his hands and give him a tremendous hug. "Thank you my Emperor. I am unworthy but I will strive to improve. I can only say again I am forever loyal to you all father." He says emotionally as I pat him on the back and let him go his tail wagging like a happy puppy.

'That should take care of the plans for the Re-Estize Kingdom in a few weeks. Now if I could only plan for all the idiots in that kingdom. The first prince and the noble factions are so dumb that anything could happen when I visit. It's why I have avoided the area and only delt with the rather pressing issues in E-Rantel.' I sigh and sit back tapping my bracelet and calling Azula back into the throne room.

She stands at my side quietly and I interact with the throne as I sit. The connection this object has with the entire base is amazing. I truly feel like a great ruler whenever I sit on this world item. I can check on the bases functions and see the different settings that have been adjusted by Albedo. As well as see my hidden trump card after entering my password. My guild mates never knew I had been farming Caloric Stone since the start of the game. With the power of money there was no limit to the levels and data I could add to the base. My Terra-Caloric army would stay hidden unless a player was found or the dragons tried to move against me.

With Albedo's changes she put new pop monsters on the lowest settings and concentrated the staff on the first 3 floors. Everything in the base runs off of game gold that I have a metric shit ton of. With the addition of my duplicating world item cost will not be a factor for our opperations.

"Daughter check in with Pandora and his progress with the Beastmen Nation." I say thinking about the pop monsters he could use to help solidify his control there.

"My Emperor, Pandora's Actor would like to come here himself to brief you if you would like." Azula states from beside me and I nod.

A few minutes later the German styled general enters the throne room in a grandious way. "Mein Führer!" He shouts throwing his hands up and looking at me with his hollow eyes. "I have come baring news of your new kingdom the Beastmen Country." When he makes it to the appropriate distance from the throne he bows deeply at the waist.

"That is good my son, I hope that the beastmen have not been too much trouble on you." I speak to the Doppelgänger that I outclass in every way. 'He is a treasurer not a combatant like me. He has a focus on classes that help him with his main duty of handling enchanted items. While he could likely fight like any one of the 42 at about 80% I could do 95%. My weapons master class alone makes me able to use magic weapons better then any of my old guild mates. If I use the appropriate items I can cast on their level with my Mystic Magi abilities. Plus a part of me looks down on him as a Master Doppelgänger when he is only a Greater with one less finger then me. My mind reading powers are better then him as well which makes me a better actor from the start.'

"No problem at all my lord! Each of the beastmen who have had issue with your new rule have been lining up for the chance to fight me in single combat. I have enjoyed slaughtering them and sending their heads back to their communities. I would say the nation is coming together nicely." He says excitedly.

"And the people who were captive before?" I ask.

"Sadly some communities have decided to kill their humans and have been wipped out... Besides the children of course my lord." He says panicking for a moment when he sees my scowl.

"I may have acted a bit to rashly in my anger and caused problems for you my son. I appologize." I say and he quickly begs me to take it back and that it is no issue. "I want you to take a contingiant of pop monsters back with you today. Find use for them weather it be in plowing fields or policing communities. If you find beastmen of merit appoint them administration positions but have them watched by shadow demons until they have proven themselves."

"Ja Mein Führer! I am partial to the undead in remembrance of Mein Schöpfer." He says looking clearly hopeful.

"I am sure Momonga would be pleased to hear you say that. As long as you can control them perfectly you can take as many as you can handle. Make sure to give the numbers and details to Albedo. Take good care of Lupu and organize the country so you can return to your regular duties. I will allow you to continue to be the leader there and work through communication bracelets and routine visits." I finish walking down from my throne and handing him a bag that I quickly fill with the handy devices. I give him a hug and send him out to his mission.
