Chapter 48 - A Ravaged Capital Looking up at the tower of Babel standing before us, our group of five swallowed our respective breaths. “I see, this is definitely a god’s weapon of choice.” “So this is…the legend…” “Incredible…” Rosselia and the other imperial natives were especially astonished: seeing a legendary tale come true before their eyes had left them almost starstruck. I felt my share of surprise, of course, but there was something more concerning. Sakuya noticed the…

Chapter 47 - Unexpected Effects of Teleportation Once we decided to use Hermes to infiltrate the empire, the next issue was to decide exactly where to teleport to. “How about the imperial court? The room I used to live in should be accessible only to my maids.” Rossellia modestly raised a hand and made a proposal. Surprisingly Luna, her loyal attendant, expressed disagreement. “We do not know how many of those working in court are on Prince Grett’s side. Regardless of the circumstances, he is now…

Chapter 46 - To the Empire! After deciding to use the magic tool Hermes to sneak into the empire, I called a certain young lady to my private residence. That young lady was my former fiancee, Selena Nommes — or what became of her: Diviner Kanna of the Fangs of Steel. “Who is this young lady?” Rossellia, who saw her for the first time, asked me about Kanna’s identity. Her white hair and kimono were certainly not a common sight, so Rossellia seemed to be at a loss. “Oh, she’s my favorite…

Chapter 45 - A Ridiculously Sloppy Assassination Plan “...and that is all. The empire seems to be in a state of serious confusion.” “200,000…!? I can’t even imagine how…” Sakuya’s report had me hold my temples — I felt as if I was getting a headache. In the empire, Grett Baal forcibly made himself emperor and wielded the power of Zeus in, effectively, a dictatorship. The area around the capital was rapidly withering, steadily influencing the crops. In addition, a large-scale…

Chapter 44 - The Thunder Despot 【POV: Grett Baal】 “I beg of you, Sire! If the lands continue to dry at this rate, the people will starve!” “The tax collections will also decrease severely, please reconsider…” “...I fail to see the problem. Even if a few plebs die, it can’t matter much, can it?” Inside Zeus — on the top floor of the tower of Babel, I was being forced to listen to the reports of my brainless subordinates. Though rather than reports, they were mostly pleas by local…

Chapter 43 - The Cost of Power “...I believe that is the magic tool called ‘Zeus’.” After Sakuya finished her report, Rossellia spoke with a grave expression. “It is said that the founding emperor, Baal Zebul, found it in a dungeon during his time as an adventurer. A divine weapon that allowed him to devastate small countries in the area and build his empire.” “A divine weapon? That’s a pretty amazing description.” “It may sound so, but if the legends are true, it deserves such a…

Chapter 42 - The Princess Mourns One week after the battle of Fort Bryden, I was still busy dealing with the aftermath. Even if it was a crushing victory for House Maxwell, the soldiers and the fortress were certainly not unharmed. The dead had to be properly honored, the fortress repaired, the prisoners dealt with — too many things to do, too little time. As heir to the Margrave, I took the lead in organizing all of the above. Finally, when the preparations reached a satisfactory point, I went to my…

Chapter 41 - Thunder of Judgment 【POV: Cerros Baal】 Zeus, the “Divine Hammer of the Thunder Emperor”, also known as the “Tower of Babel”. That was the name of the magic tool used by the first emperor of Baal to destroy the country that occupied this land and found his own empire. Before making himself emperor, Zebul Baal was an adventurer: while traveling through the plains in this area, he discovered a new kind of ancient ruins. Zebul explored the ruins with his comrades and found a certain…
