1631 I Want To Rule The Universe!
As for Karoline and her weird attitude, I decided to let Lily and others start investigating everything about her current whereabouts. I wanted to come directly and meet with her, hopefully I’d find what the real crux of the problem was.

I gave Lily the green light to use everything and all the armies we had to deal with other continents except for the ones having Karoline’s forces and other races fight among each other.
Lily already started attacking other places, but she didn’t overdo it until I gave her this order. When I checked my map after a few days, I found out that the fire of war spread all over the world, covering almost seventy percent of the continents there.
It seemed the races were ready to mobilise whenever we’d hit them. But they never expected our forces to build lots of fortifications on deserted continents, and they never expected to meet monsters.
The monster’s move was a nice touch actually. It helped to stop many races’ forces, ending up for them to suffer lots of losses.
As I saw the entire world burning under such fire of war, I decided to wait for a bit longer before making my final move. I still got lots of bombs to deal with, and I wanted to leave the last war to be with Karoline and other races.
I didn’t yet visit the continents of the Selvators, but I could tell from the maps how severely hit they were by my warriors. They got pressured and pushed all the way to the edges of each of the twenty continents. If this kept going for a few more days, then they’d all be annihilated.
They deserved such fate, and I didn’t feel any sympathy towards them. They were the ones to backstab me first, kill my friend, and they deserved death as punishment.
I closed the map and focused on dealing with the bombs. Yet such a process took me roughly an entire month. During which, Lily and my armies managed to clear almost fifty percent of the enemies, killing tons of forces, and capturing endless prisoners of war.
It happened just a few days after the all out war started. In front of the unstoppable armies of mine, the enemies started to feel despair and started to surrender.
It first started as sporadic events, and Lily had to return to me to ask for instructions. As I knew this war was close to its end, I decided to absorb more forces here.
What was the value in killing such folks when we could simply absorb them into my kingdom? And that made me wonder about something else…
The merge that happened here got only warriors and armies to appear from each race. Then where were their living people? The ones without any fighting abilities?
Thinking about this point and recalling how grand this new world was made me realise something. It seemed the system higher ups arranged things with a clear goal in mind.
They didn’t bring those who couldn’t fight, the normal people, out. They seemed to wait for the moment this entire war would be over, and then they’d release everyone, letting them join the winner’s side.
If that was true then it was huge! It meant that this world wouldn’t be an empty place, one that would be filled only with fighters and broken armies.
In fact this looked a more reasonable decision and plan made by these higher ups. And I respected what they did here. Like this they’d limit the unneeded losses, preparing the final world to welcome a new era.
And that also meant another thing, my kingdom would be one with different races living inside it. I established my kingdom to prepare a good place for my weak humans to live and prosper. Yet it seemed I was going to help other races as well.
I didn’t reject that, only a fool would do such a thing. Any race was welcomed to live and work inside my kingdom. Like this, my kingdom here would be a miniature image of the grand universe, and I’d be training myself for the upcoming grant role to rule over the entire universe.
If the system higher ups planned something new after the end of this apocalyptic trial, then why wouldn’t I aim to be the grand ruler of the entire universe?
I got lots of races on my side, lots of ancient ones on top of that. So it was just normal for me to aspire to aim for such a prestigious position. Even if the journey towards such a goal would be hard and long, it was still worth it!
I got used to such a hectic life of fighting and competing, the life of putting one’s life and future on the line all the time. It was scary, and yet quite interesting.
Living a life of peace? Finding an island and staying for the rest of my life there with my girls and kids? That wasn’t a life for me!
Not to mention I got cursed when it came down to girls and such. Even if such a curse got cleared, it wasn’t going to amuse me to live like this.
I decided to take a long rest first, enjoy the peaceful life and see if I’d like it or not. I’d focus on building my kingdom and expand the prosperous scenes of a true civilisation all over these continents. And also I needed to replenish the lost warriors here with new ones.
If I wanted to conquer the universe, I should plan things out once this grand war was over. The moment I’d control the entire world, I’d start preparing things for such a grand goal. After all, the universe wasn’t like the small apocalyptic trial I just lived through.
