Chapter 9: 『True Power of the Emperor and Empress』
10 Days Later...
The day of annihilation has arrived. The Diabolos cult has completed their preparations to summon the Demon of World Calamity.
Confident that fortune is on their side, they proceed with the summoning ritual.
Not a single disruption hinders them; everything goes smoothly, without the slightest issue.
Unbeknownst to them, the Emperor had allowed them to freely conduct the summoning ritual. In fact, he secretly ensured its success.
When the Demon Lord Yggdrasil finally arrives, they will understand the true power of the Emperor.
In the bright blue sky adorned with beautiful white clouds, a sudden distortion appears, opening a dimensional rift over the Roman Empire's territory.
Members of the Diabolos cult burst into laughter, celebrating their successful summoning of Demon Lord Yggdrasil. However, without their knowledge, they are already dead slain by assassins under the Emperor's direct command.
Demon Lord Yggdrasil manifests in full grandeur, his enormous body towering at 84 meters and rapidly growing to 100 meters.
This demon or rather, this colossal monster roars confidently. Just as it raises its massive hand to strike the Roman capital, the Empress intervenes, severing the giant hand in one swift motion.
The battle is broadcast live to every corner of the world with access to Roman technology. The Empress, now appearing vastly different from her usual self, becomes the center of attention.

The Empress unleashes 10% of her Beast 666 power and taps into her wild, Class: Beast power.
This immediately establishes her as the strongest being in the world, second only to the Emperor.
Glaring at the monstrous figure, the Empress speaks with disdain:
"A creature ignorant of its place dares to set foot in my husband's domain...?" she declares, her face filled with displeasure.
"I'll make you crawl and beg for forgiveness for your insolence."
With those words, the Empress materializes her sword a unique, fiery weapon. It grows larger, resembling the blade Nero wields in her Class Beast Draco form.
With a single, seemingly casual slash, she sends a wave of energy across the ground. The slash ignites into blazing fire, hurtling toward the 100-meter-tall monster at Mach 100 speed.
The fiery slash strikes the monster, splitting its body in two. The flames relentlessly consume the creature, preventing it from regenerating. The monster is reduced to ashes.
Those witnessing the event, whether in person or through broadcast screens, tremble at the Empress's overwhelming power.
Not satisfied, the Empress ascends into the sky, flying toward a Diabolos branch headquarters. The facility still bustles with researchers.
Nero intentionally reveals her monstrous power by summoning Bestia Coccinea, a seven-headed dragon and one of the legendary boss monsters of FGO.
"Saa... Show the world, Superbia, Invidia, Ira, Acedia, Avaritia, Gula, Luxuria—the true might of true power!" the Empress declares, her voice booming through the screens.
The seven heads roar, each displaying their unique abilities, shaking the entire region with earthquake-like tremors.
In less than two seconds, the ground beneath the Diabolos cult's branch headquarters collapses. Simultaneously, branch locations across the globe experience similar devastation.
Although Bestia Coccinea only use 5% of its full power due to this world's limitations, it causes massive destruction.
Under the Empress's command, Bestia Coccinea spares no mercy, eradicating the Diabolos cult headquarters entirely. The event is broadcast worldwide, demonstrating the Empress's true might.
Amid the awe and fear, one question lingers: where is the Emperor?
The scene shifts to the Emperor, Eranius, engaged in a confrontation above the skies with Shadow, the leader of Shadow Garden.
Shadow had suddenly attacked without warning, but the Emperor showed no concern.
As Shadow relentlessly assaults him, the Emperor remains unscathed, effortlessly enduring every strike.
Once Shadow tires of attacking, the Emperor speaks coldly:
"Done already? You suddenly attack me and expect to walk away unscathed? Did you think I'd let that happen? Of course not."
In an instant, the Emperor appears before Shadow, delivering a punch that Shadow barely manages to block. Yet, Shadow cannot move.
The Emperor follows up with another blow, sending Shadow hurtling downward. Before Shadow can crash, the Emperor reappears behind him, striking him upward with immense force.
Shadow is flung out of the planet's atmosphere, colliding with the moon and creating a massive crater.
The Emperor appears on the moon, staring coldly at Shadow, who now suffers severe internal injuries. Shadow struggles to breathe, blood spewing from his mouth.
The Emperor shows no mercy. With a powerful kick, he sends Shadow flying toward a Mars-like planet.
The Emperor follows, watching Shadow lie helplessly on the alien surface.
"See how weak you are? I've ignored you until now, letting you carry on. Yet, you dare attack me. And now, when your instincts tell you to flee, you think I'd let you escape? No."
The Emperor explains where they are:
"This is Aitera, a barren world near ours. Do you know what happens if a world is destroyed? The resulting explosion a supernova, can obliterate dozens of worlds simultaneously. Do you know what I'll do next?"
Shadow cannot answer, his heartbeat faltering. The Emperor continues relentlessly.
"I will make you remember this terror, you immature child. Never underestimate the world again. Grow up."
Grabbing Shadow, the Emperor hurls him toward the sun. Before Shadow reaches it, the Emperor intercepts, forcing him to endure the sun's heat repeatedly.
Each time Shadow's skin burns, the Emperor heals him, only for the cycle to repeat for two hours.
The torture leaves Shadow physically and mentally broken.
The global audience witnesses every moment of this ordeal through Roman technology. Even Shadow Garden and the Seven Shadows can only watch helplessly as their leader suffers.
From that day forward, the Emperor and Empress are remembered as godlike beings, unstoppable forces who eradicated the Diabolos cult and demonstrated their unparalleled power.
