Chapter 837 The Emperor
The head of the Death Spirit Dragon floated in the air and moved toward Lu Yu.
Looking at the ferocious and evil head of the Death Spirit Dragon, Elizabeth felt a little disgusted. She could not help but take a few steps back and look at it with disdain.
As for the Death Spirit Dragon, it did not dare make a tantrum. It lowered its head and landed in front of Lu Yu.
“Lu Yu, you will be an emperor with all the dragons submitting to you. This world will be yours!”
Lu Yu, naturally, did not take its fart-like praises to heart. After kicking it away, Lu Yu asked, “It’s not good for me to bring you around, scaring children and the like. Can you just disappear?”
“We don’t have a battle pet contract yet,” the Death Spirit Dragon replied helplessly. “Also, my claws are gone, so I can’t open a spatial rift.”
“How about this? My head will enter your spatial inventory, and my dragon soul will continue to stay in your body.”
Lu Yu thought about it and felt that this was their only choice.
“Fine.”
The Death Spirit Dragon soul drilled out of its head.
With a flash of light, the huge dragon head was kept in Lu Yu’s spatial pocket watch.
Meanwhile, the Death Spirit Dragon Soul reentered Lu Yu’s right arm.
Lu Yu could hear the Death Spirit Dragon’s voice back in his mind.
“With this, the Death Spirit Dragon and Walter are finally taken care of. Our threat has lessened a little.”
Han Xuefei walked over and said, “There are stronger members of the Truth Department waiting for us. Also, I’m afraid that Lord Claine will be revived soon.”
“Lord Claine won’t be someone weak. His strength will be terrifying if he can create that many Claine Crystals.”
As Lu Yu spoke, he could not help but worry. “If possible, it’s best to kill him when he has just recovered.”
Hearing this, Zena and Helen had complicated expressions on their faces.
Black Rock City was under Lord Claine’s control.
“Are you going to kill Lord Claine? Although I don’t know him personally, he seems to be very strong.”
Zena asked.
Lu Yu looked at the two of them and said, “You two should know what it means for you to be revived, right?”
Zena and Helen looked at each other and shook their heads.
“We’re just going to live a normal life now that we’ve awakened. It’s just that we’ve been living in a world thousands of years from our era, allowing us to experience a brand new future world.”
Elizabeth looked at the two of them and could not help but reveal a curious expression. These two were from the Ember Empire!
“It seems that you really don’t know much. After all, this is the decision of the higher-ups.”
“Once the Ember Empire is fully revived, the first thing they will do is regain control of this world and take over it. In the process of taking control, they will slaughter countless people!”
Lu Yu looked at Zena and continued, “I’m afraid that the leaders of any region would not allow this to happen.”
“When the time comes, the Lionheart Empire, the Stellaris Autonomous Zone, and the Freedom Federation will all regard the Ember Empire as their enemy.”
“Oh?” Zena suddenly realized something. “In other words, we are going to be enemies?”
“There’s no need to say that. You’re just innocent citizens of the Ember Empire and don’t know much about the truth covered by your higher-ups.”
Helen couldn’t sit still anymore and quickly said, “We are definitely not enemies. We can assimilate into this world. There is no need for war!”
However, she realized that it was useless for her to say anything. After all, she was not in charge of the Ember Empire.
“The Ember Empire has yet to start its advancement. All of this is just the brewing before the storm, so we still have time to prepare.”
Zena lowered her head and pondered for a moment. “How about this? Helen and I will go back to Black Rock City. Once Lord Claine recovers, I will inform you.”
Hearing this, Lu Yu could not help but smile. He was just thinking about who to send to infiltrate Black Rock City to obtain more information.
Since Zena volunteered, she was a good candidate.
After all, she was from Black Rock City, so she didn’t need to sneak in.
Helen nodded firmly. “I’ll help you stop them from doing stupid things. Besides, you saved my life. It’s only right for me to repay you.”
Lu Yu smiled and replied, “I’ll have to trouble the two of you. If there’s any news, come here and pass it on.”
Zena nodded and asked, “What do you plan to do next?”
Lu Yu stroked his chin and pondered for a moment before looking at Elizabeth. “Are you going back with Walter’s body?”
“Yes, I will take him back and bury him in my hometown. Also, I haven’t seen my second brother, and he’s probably still in the Ministry of Truth. I don’t know where he is exactly, so I’ll have to return here sooner or later.”
“I see. Alright then, Han Xuefei and I will go back with you.”
Elizabeth looked up at Lu Yu, blinked her beautiful eyes, and asked, “Aren’t you going to the Netherworld Abyss or the Truth Department?”
“Let’s settle our end first. Sooner or later, our three factions will wage war with the Ember Empire. We first have to eliminate our internal conflict.”
Lu Yu raised his head and placed his hand on Elizabeth’s shoulder. He said thoughtfully, “If the conditions are right, I will assist you in becoming the Emperor of the Lionheart Empire!”
Hearing this, Elizabeth’s body trembled in disbelief.
“Me? Emperor? Isn’t this a little too much?”
She had always thought that her elder brother would be the next Emperor. She had never thought once that she had a chance.
“I’m not at ease with anyone else being the Emperor. At least you’re on my side, aren’t you?”
Looking into Lu Yu’s sincere eyes, Elizabeth was shaken.
“If I can help you, I will do so. However, if I do this, my big brother will hate me…”
“Don’t worry about him. Your Empire is now plagued with internal and external problems, and danger lurks everywhere. Even if he ascends the throne, does he have a chance of resolving all of this? However, if you succeed, I will help you solve your problems and stabilize the empire!”
Elizabeth struggled internally for a while before she nodded slowly. “If this is better for the Empire, then I accept it.”
With the old Emperor slowly approaching his death, it would be a time of turmoil for the Empire. During this period of transfer, the various forces originally hidden in the darkness would gradually surface.
Without a strong helm at the head of the ship, it would be difficult to suppress those forces.
Elizabeth lowered her head slightly. “I don’t know if I’m ready to become the Queen of the Lionheart Empire…”
Han Xuefei walked over and comforted her. “You can do it. At least you love your country. I’m sure you can do it with our support.”
Elizabeth raised her head and smiled confidently. “Yes, with your help, I can definitely do it!”
