Emperor Winterfire looked at the World Peak with a serious expression.
He wore luxurious robes and carried a much bigger crown than he used to wear in the past.
Well, he was an Emperor now, and he deserved a bigger crown.
He was the ruler of the world now, except for the Duchess of Twilight, but she wasn't interested in politics.
Could Emperor Winterfire become the actual ruler of the world?
Could he get rid of the Duchess of Twilight?
No.
The Duchess of Twilight was more powerful than all the other Transcendents combined.
Well, there was one way to get rid of her, but it wasn't the time yet.
"The three days are up," Emperor Winterfire transmitted to Silvester, who was currently waiting near the border of his own kingdom.
"You are allowed to enter and search for them," Silvester answered.
Emperor Winterfire furrowed his brows. "We agreed that you would exile them from your kingdom."
"Yes, as long as they were still in my kingdom by that point," Silvester answered.
"Are you claiming they are no longer in your kingdom?" Emperor Winterfire asked.
"If they are still here, I lack the power to find them," Silvester answered. "You are free to confirm for yourself."
Emperor Winterfire didn't immediately enter.
Instead, he summoned a blue gem and infused it with Ether.
After that, several seconds passed, and two people appeared beside Emperor Winterfire.
One had blue hair and wore the robes of an Advisor of the Winterfire Empire.
It was the Imperial Advisor, Harald.
The other person wore yellow robes, had long blonde hair, and also wore a crown, but compared to Emperor Winterfire's crown, his crown was much smaller.
He had a smirk on his face as he looked at Silvester.
It was His Holiness.
Although that was no longer his title.
The Divine Duchy was no more. It had been incorporated into the Winterfire Empire.
His Holiness' new title was the Holy King.
A king was inferior to an emperor, but a king was still extremely powerful.
The Holy King now controlled the western half of the Winterfire Empire.
In essence, he could do whatever he wanted in his half, as long as Emperor Winterfire didn't put in a veto.
While the Holy King was legally below Emperor Winterfire's command, practically, it wasn't completely true.
The Holy King and Emperor Winterfire had about the same level of power.
A battle between them would be inconclusive.
However, Emperor Winterfire had his Imperial Advisor.
With his help, Emperor Winterfire would definitely win, which was why he was the Emperor.
An emperor wasn't just as powerful as their person. Their power also included all the people under their command.
After arriving, the Holy King looked at Silvester with a smirk.
If his followers could see his current expression, they would be shocked beyond belief.
The Holy King had always been so kind and benevolent.
He had always preached about doing good in the world.
But now, he looked like a guy who just wanted to get into a brawl, and that description wasn't even inaccurate.
