Chapter 1202
After Gricale's demise, the World of Nothingness shattered into pieces, and the storm dissipated.
The storm was just one hundred fifty kilometers away from the borders of the Proatine Empire before it dissipated. In other words, the storm had only devastated the western regions of the Marchioni Empire before disappearing.
This meant that the Marchioni Empire’s scheme to redirect the storm and wipe the Proatine Empire off the face of the continent had ended in complete failure.
To make things worse, the Proatine Empire suffered no damage at all while the Marchioni Empire sustained massive losses.
Had they redirected the storm elsewhere, then they could have minimized the damage they suffered. However, they deliberately steered it westward, and it resulted in them suffering greater devastation.
Several major cities in the west were the financial centers of the Marchioni Empire, and they were reduced to mere ruins by the storm.
“Is this some kind of surprise? Something prepared to relieve me of my boredom?” Emperor Stuttgart couldn’t bring himself to accept the reality after receiving the sudden report.
As befitting the sovereign of the world’s most powerful empire, Emperor Stuttgart did not lash out in a fit of rage. Instead, he merely expressed his dismay at the absurd report.
“Y-Your Imperial Majesty...!”
In contrast, Grand Duke Neighdelberg was on the verge of fainting, and he trembled like a tree being shaken by a fierce storm. The second most powerful person in the empire? Such a grand title was meaningless before Emperor Stuttgart.
Grand Duke Neighdelberg was truly terrified. He knew better than anyone else just how ruthless the emperor was. After all, Stuttgart von Posteriore slew all of his own blood relatives without a hint of hesitation, all in order to ascend to the throne.
Now that such an emperor was enraged, Grand Duke Neighdelberg's terror was justified. Moreover, Emperor Stuttgart had never once been humiliated since ascending the throne. He had never tasted failure, nor had any of his plans ever gone awry.
