Chapter 752: Who will be the new Emperor?
"Our King has the power to sunder entire sectors, and we have warriors possessing power normal True Titans could not match and that would follow him to the end. However, in the pursuit of peace and prosperity, he prefers alliances with honorable people like Your Highness, as that would make the future transition of power in the Goldsayer Humankind smoother.
Of course, our King doesn't need to force people to side with him. If you choose not to side with us and to leave the Prometheus Sector, there will be no repercussions in the future. In fact, due to your behavior in the past few years, I can guarantee that you will keep your control over the Diamond Saint Sector and will remain there until the day you march into the Astral Sea."
Magnus spoke with a smile, his words seemingly friendly, yet the last part made the Diamond Saint Duke's eyes narrow.
The Scarlet King would not attack him in the future if he chose to leave the Prometheus Sector, and would retain his control over his Sector, but he would be stuck in that position until the end of his days in Aether.
The role of a Sector Duke fell second only to the Emperor in the Goldsayer Humankind Empire, and the Diamond Saint Dukedom was even more impressive as it was considered the crown jewel of Gaia's south. Yet, the Diamond Saint Duke was an ambitious man, and he wanted more, he wanted a power that would allow him to course through the Astral Sea and not just survive in it.
If there was one person who could grant him that, it would be the man capable of killing True Titans without suffering a wound, the Scarlet King.
"What are the Scarlet King's plans once he rises to the role of Emperor?"
A sharp light appeared in Magnus's eyes as he heard that question, and his smile grew wider. It seemed that the Diamond Saint Duke was interested in joining them, and if they managed to push the man into the Scarlet Alliance, it would be greatly significant for their future.
After all, the Diamond Saint Duke was not just the leader of the Diamond Saint State, but the head of the Diamond Saint Sector. If he were to join them, conquering the south of Gaia would be easy, and would face barely any resistance at all.
Magnus remained silent for a few moments as he glanced at Lurin. It was a silent exchange and lasted less than a second as they nodded. They had prepared for that question, and after much deliberation, came up with an answer.
