The Girls Are All Coveting Me-Chapter 430 - 366: The Beloved Comedy Skit

Augustus, which is the emperor's true name.

However, for a long time now, no one has called out that name.

Since his mother left him, Augustus became a figure of the past; all that's left is the Eldest Prince and the emperor.

Unlike the Dark Crow Guardian who recognized their former superior.

Augustus, upon opening his eyes, immediately recognized the woman whose appearance had slightly changed.

That gentle gaze used to be Augustus's unreachable childhood dream.

As a result, he also guessed the true identity of the man standing beside his mother.

"Why are you staring at my wife, look at your body, and properly absorb my inheritance."

A somewhat roguish voice sounded.

The first thought that arose in Augustus's mind was, "My father doesn't seem very serious."

Then it was, "How is he not dead yet?"

Such hilarious thoughts only echoed in his mind for a moment before quickly disappearing.

Because the power he originally wanted to absorb, which would tear his body apart like flaying, began to stabilize under the influence of the dark Thunderbolt.

Visibly, that troublesome power began to comply, under his guidance, gradually gathering into his body.

The unprecedented surge of power gave Augustus a fleeting sense of intoxication, but he swiftly suppressed this notion.

He had been absorbing the strength of the Destruction Black Sun here for two years, and by his plan, he feared it would be another two years before he could fully absorb it.

However, he thought of a method to solve this issue.

That is to fundamentally not consider the problem of absorption, first gather all the power into his body and then extract what couldn't be absorbed.

In doing so, another Black Sun would appear on the Shadow Plane.

The other Black Sun, which was beyond his control, would turn into the most terrifying disaster on the Shadow Plane, long wandering over this land.

Even if it didn't target the Shadow Creatures, the gray storm it stirred wherever it passed would devour everything.

It's unrelated to deliberate destruction.

It's merely an aftershock.

Yet even so, Augustus would still choose this path.

Because recently the situation on the continent has been increasingly unfavorable, the resource-depleted Ensar Empire urgently needs new support beams.

Thus, if the destruction can be temporarily contained within the Shadow Plane, that would be ideal.

Once he has sorted out the chaos outside, he will return to absorb the Black Sun.

—Originally, this was his thinking.

But the man's appearance provided Augustus, who increasingly couldn't bear the cost of time, with a rare opportunity to breathe.

"Why has the pace slowed? Stop overthinking and absorb your father's power properly."

"..."

No way.

This guy is really irritating.

But Augustus still painfully accepted this kindness.

Time thus passed; nearly a week.

With one force after another flowing into Augustus's body, his aura surged to the world's limit.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes, looked complexly at the two, and said:

"So, this isn't really the World of Stars, is it?"

Chloe was surprised: "You actually figured it out."

"Because the power of the Destruction Black Sun isn't so weak." Augustus calmly stated his view, "So I can only assume that the me standing here now is just a fake."

"Makes sense, after all, it's the inheritance I left you."

"..."

For some reason, Augustus felt oppressed by a higher rank.

What is this?

A punishment from a parent?

He smiled self-deprecatingly and said: "So what's your situation?"

"What, you think we're fake too?"

"Seeing you jump directly in front of me like this, it's hard not to suspect."

"What kind of experiences made you so paranoid now?"

"The reason I'm paranoid, don't you know? A child without a father, suddenly someone jumps out to claim to be my dad, do you think I can accept that?"

"..."

Oh dear.

Got played by his son.

The most important thing is, it seems he really can't explain himself.

"Alright then, you wouldn't mistake your mother, right? She raised you." 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

Augustus retorted, "If I hadn't seen her, do you think I could restrain myself from attacking you?"

"Even if you attacked, you wouldn't defeat me."

"I could directly let the Destruction Black Sun crush down, using your power, hmm."

"...This hilarious?"

Though the two seemed like they were bickering, Fufu's expression was rather relaxed.

What she feared most was them ignoring each other after meeting.

Compared to bickering, silence is the greatest cold violence.

"So tell me, what risk are you taking entering the Shadow Plane and coming here to help me, what are your intentions?" Augustus looked at them and said, "This world is just a fake, helping you here, what benefits can you gain?"

"Even a fake world has its value, or let's say the existence that can construct a fake world, their legacy is quite useful for us at this stage."

Chloe looked at her son with an approving gaze.

The eldest son was better than he imagined, but...

"Both your parents are handsome and beautiful, so why do you have such a face that looks like it's been bullied?"

Chloe finally understood where Cedric learned that kind of aggrieved expression from.

With this eldest son leading for a while, does he really have no reason to show that expression?

But Augustus was somewhat flushed with anger at Chloe's words.

What do you mean I have a face that looks wronged?

Who was responsible for making me feel so miserable?

Oh, to be precise, it's not actually you guys.

You are also victims.

Thinking of this, Augustus was even angrier.

He didn't even know whom to vent to.

"Okay, indeed there are times when it feels wronged, but aren't you experiencing the same?"

"It's different, I would think of a way to directly blow them up."

"..."

"Alright, Chloe, say a few words less." Fufu interjected, "Augustus, we need your help."

Augustus hesitated for a moment and said, "What do you need to do?"

"Not everything is something I can help you with, after all, you know, compared to creation, I am better at destruction."

"What we need is merely pure strength, and this matter will also benefit you... um, at least in this world it will."

"It will benefit me too..." Augustus said, "I see, you are from a more distant future, aren't you?"

"Yes."

"It seems the future me isn't doing so well."

Augustus was a smart person, and although his parents didn't tell him what he experienced in the future, just by observing their current attitudes, he could guess most of it.

"So, what have I lost?"

"Your true love, most of your kin, your closest friends, if it weren't because of an accident, you would be sitting on the Golden Throne, watching what you cherish constantly fall into the Abyss."

"That really is... just as I expected."

Augustus shook his head and said, "Forget it, let's not mention these. Since you only need strong power, then just tell me who I need to kill now?"

"You should be aware of the recent actions of the Love God Church."

"Eliminating Slaanesh Church, protecting the woman who holds the Beauty God Fragment?"

Augustus had some understanding of Xilin.

In fact, Xilin once painted a portrait for him and his Princess Consort Diana.

The purpose of this portrait was that when he and Diana were harmed, they could transfer the injury onto the person in the painting.

As long as it wasn't a fatal injury, this painting could bear a limit far beyond others' knowledge.

He also knew the Love God Church wanted to utilize Xilin to confront the Slaanesh followers.

But Ensar's existing power wasn't sufficient, at most he could lend a small hand.

Hmm, provided he couldn't inherit the power from this man.

"If it were me now, it's not that difficult to handle this matter."

However, Chloe shook his head and said, "Not difficult? Don't kid yourself, you have quite a few enemies to target.

Frankly speaking, your enemies will spread you thin, even if you gain an advantage on one battlefield, it's highly likely you'll lose ground on another."

"So you've already thought of a solution, right?"

"Yes."

Chloe glanced at the Dark Crow Guard surrounding them nervously and said, "Do you want us to discuss plans in such a place?"

Augustus waved his hand, and a dark rift appeared around them.

"Let's discuss it in the place that once belonged to you."

...

Location: Ensar Empire · Old Imperial Capital

The news of Augustus successfully inheriting the power of his parents quickly spread to a select few trusted groups.

The old demigods hidden within the Empire immediately decided to come face the Emperor.

Yet as soon as they arrived, they witnessed an unbelievable scene.

"Former, Former Emperor? Former Prince?"

Chloe waved them off, indicating they should not interfere.

The demigods turned their gaze toward Augustus.

Augustus nodded and said, "You all may leave for now, I have some matters to handle here."

The crowd immediately bowed and left.

"How many enemies are there, to what extent do we need to fight, and how can we achieve the best outcome?"

Upon entering the palace, Augustus immediately looked at Chloe.

"Demon King Helmer, the Abyssal Church, and the possibly intervening Abyssal Will."

"Can't win against them, next." Augustus refused without hesitation.

"Hey, don't rush, it's not like we're asking you to fight them head-on."

"Helmer is already troublesome, I have merely inherited part of your power now, but am far from skilled in using it, fa…"

Augustus struggled to speak, but then paused.

"No need to force yourself to call my name, since truly leaving you to bear such hardship alone is indeed my fault, I should have found a way to kill them all."

"Is it really that murderous?"
