Bone King: Homemade plug-in, I am the god of destiny Chapter 181

Swish!

With a flicker of light and shadow, Han Yu used teleportation magic to arrive at E-Rantel.

What met his eyes was a large area centered around Marquis Boullope’s mansion, which had been severely damaged. Some timber, caught in the magical explosions, emitted black smoke from incomplete combustion.

King Ramposa III and Prince Barbro, as the city’s rulers, had already arrived and were standing at the edge of the affected area, observing. The city guards were helping to clear the destroyed houses and rescue the injured.

As soon as Han Yu appeared, Lakyus, who was talking to the old king, immediately noticed him and quickly approached.

“My Lord.”

“Lakyus, tell me what happened here.”

“Yes! We were following our plan to apprehend Marquis Boullope, who was colluding with the Great Tomb of Nazarick…”

Lakyus recounted the events in detail, and in a short while, Han Yu understood everything that had transpired.

Nabe and Princess Renner encountering Blue Rose was a rather pleasant coincidence.

Currently, Nabe had been taken back to the Holy City for confinement, while Princess Renner and Marquis Boullope were imprisoned at the Church’s stronghold in E-Rantel. The original objectives of the operation had been more than accomplished.

However, the attacks by Shalltear and Albedo and others had resulted in the deaths of almost all the supporting Church members, and the resurrection items of the four members of Blue Rose were also consumed.

If the enemy hadn’t been in a hurry to retreat, Lakyus and her companions might not have survived either.

After pondering for a moment, Han Yu smiled slightly at Lakyus and asked, “I’m planning to test their lair. Do you want to come for revenge?”

“Let’s not.”

Lakyus shook her head, declining Han Yu’s proposal.

After her battle with Shalltear, she understood the significant power gap between herself and the Guardians of Nazarick, so she didn’t want to be a burden on her side of the battlefield.

Seeing this, Han Yu didn’t press the issue. “Alright then, you’ve all worked hard through the intense battle. Go back to the Holy City and rest for now.”

With that, he activated the [Divinity of the God of Fate] within him. Golden lights flew out from his body, disappearing into various corners of the battlefield’s ruins.

Upon contact with the power of resurrection, all the Church members who had been crushed by the collapsed houses awoke from death, violently pushing aside the obstacles on them.

The Royal Guards, who were about to retrieve the bodies, were clearly startled. They all looked at the resurrected Church members with wide, astonished eyes.

They had heard rumors that the followers of the Church of Fate were immortal, and today they had witnessed it firsthand!

Han Yu ignored the reactions of the Royal personnel. After resurrecting all the fallen retainers, he prepared to leave.

At this moment, the old King Ramposa III and Prince Barbro, escorted by Gazef, approached him and tried to stop him, “Your Eminence, God of Fate, please wait a moment!”

Han Yu paused his movements slightly and glanced at the three of them indifferently. “What do you want?”

How rude!

Seeing Han Yu’s cold reaction, Prince Barbro felt a slight surge of anger.

Although he had heard about Han Yu and the Church of Fate before, the old king had specifically instructed him to show respect to Han Yu.

But Barbro felt somewhat dismissive internally.

A mere magic caster, relying on a bit of minor power, dared to flaunt himself in the kingdom and even trample on the dignity of the royal family.

Hmph!

Once I ascend to the throne, I will dispatch a large army to eradicate this heretical organization, the Church of Fate, and completely wash away the stain you’ve imposed on the royal family!

Thinking this, Barbro’s gaze towards Han Yu held a hint of ill will.

However, Han Yu had no interest in these useless people. His gaze remained on Ramposa III, waiting for the old king to speak.

Ramposa III bowed slightly and said, “Regarding today’s events, please allow me to express my sincere gratitude to you and your Church. If you had not exposed the conspiracy of the Great Tomb of Nazarick, perhaps our Re-Estize Kingdom would have been in grave danger.”

Heh.

Han Yu snorted lightly, his expression unreadable.

On the surface, the old king was expressing gratitude, but he was also asserting his position as the host.

Perhaps he had also realized what it meant that the Church had not communicated with him, the king, in advance this time, but had directly apprehended a large number of kingdom nobles colluding with Nazarick.

However, Han Yu had already made his plans before the operation, so he wasn’t particularly concerned about the old king’s thoughts at this moment.

“Ramposa III, I am very disappointed in you kingdom nobles. Do you think the Re-Estize Kingdom can move towards a bright future if you continue to govern?”

“This…”

The old king’s face stiffened, and for a moment, he was speechless.

Prince Barbro, hearing Han Yu’s ‘treasonous’ remarks, immediately stepped forward in anger and reprimanded, “What do you mean by that! Are you trying to subvert our authority and rebel!?”

Han Yu merely glanced at Barbro upon hearing this, not even bothering to debate with him. He simply said, “You’d better take care of yourselves,” and then used teleportation magic to leave E-Rantel.

“Utterly arrogant!”

Prince Barbro seemed to have never been ignored like this before, and his anger reached its peak. He gritted his teeth and pleaded with Ramposa III, “Father! We absolutely cannot let this fellow run wild. Let’s immediately send troops to eradicate the stronghold of the Church of Fate!”

“Silence!”

Ramposa III reprimanded Barbro with a displeased expression.

This foolish son had absolutely no sense of judgment!

He had repeatedly told him not to show any dissatisfaction with the God of Fate or the Church of Fate in front of others, but it was clear that this foolish son hadn’t listened to a single word.

Regardless of how powerful the Church of Fate was, the sheer fact that a large number of kingdom nobles were under the control of the Church of Fate was already extremely troublesome.

Unlike the Baharuth Empire, the kingdom’s ruling power was too dispersed. To gather strength, it had to be done through the cooperation of the nobles.

In other words, without the great nobles controlled by the Church of Fate, the kingdom wouldn’t even have the chance to unify its forces.

Moreover, this wasn’t the worst-case scenario.

Though he was unwilling to admit it, Ramposa III knew that most of the kingdom’s nobles were not very firm, and Han Yu and the Church of Fate were clearly not commoners of the kingdom who would fear noble status.

At present, let alone making a move against the Church of Fate, it would probably be difficult to maintain a peaceful coexistence between the two sides.

Thinking this, Ramposa III glared at his son, who was about to retort, and then turned to Lakyus beside him, “Lakyus, I’d like to speak with you alone, if I may?”

Upon hearing this, Lakyus’s eyes flickered.

She guessed what the old king wanted to talk about.

After a second of thought, an apologetic look appeared on her face as she politely declined, “I apologize, Your Majesty, but I am now a member of the Church and can only follow the arrangements of the Lord.”
