The Villain’s Cheat Code: When a Gamer Becomes the Evil God’s Sidekick

Thunder roared like war drums across the sky.

Rage-filled black clouds churned beneath the world, releasing an aura of scorching oppression.

This turbulent tide surged into lungs and hearts, drowning and destroying all sense of ease and naturalness.

Multicolored lights frequently flickered between the black clouds, bright hues lifting up their center as the force of destruction pierced into the earth like blade.

The Padalenbu Sea wasn't far from the Empire. The disturbances in the sky above the ocean spread with thunderous echoes to the Karensia Empire.

Even the Imperial capital at the heart of the Empire was affected.

The sky turned dark, as if the eyelids of the gods had closed, completely blocking out the daylight.

Mighty thunder transformed into Hypnos's snores, deep and prolonged.

Fierce winds suddenly swept through the streets, wooden signs clattered against buildings on both sides, and even the stone-paved ground seemed to emit dull impact sounds.

Raindrops as large as beans fell like countless natural meteorites, violently whirling through the entire city.

Horses neighed in terror as carriages overturned.

The terrifying sudden rain and wind seemed capable of sweeping everything into the void.

The storm swept past the towering palace dome, raising continuous howling whistles that spread an eerie malevolence.

Under this gloom, even the massive palace sank into complete oppression.

Authority seemed to have gripped every throat.

Flickering candlelight illuminated the palace interior, making it appear extremely dim.

Terror began spreading like a plague, inhaled by all the trembling ministers.

Their throats felt as if blocked by stone fragments, utterly choked.

Under the intense wind's assault, the palace gates continuously emitted clanging sounds.

Waves of intense fear repeatedly hammered at the ministers' hearts.

The situation was reaching a critical point.

Emperor Aubrey sat solemnly on the throne with Princess Aurelianne's support, facing the ministers on one side.

His eyes radiated intense authority like a lion's, particularly bright on the dim throne.

Like a sharp dagger suspended above the ministers' heads.

Seeing the Emperor's arrival, despite their racing hearts and sweat rolling down their cheeks, the ministers could only steel themselves to report quickly:

"Your Majesty! Reports are coming in from all parts of the Empire!"

"Besitite has been submerged by torrential rain, floods have entered the city!"

"Your Majesty! Rubinia has suffered terrible heat and drought, many crops withered in just one day due to the high temperatures."

"Metrimi was struck by thunderstorms..."

The ministers continued their reports one after another, their faces full of anxiety and shock.

The elemental disturbances had affected nearly the entire Empire.

Almost every city within the Empire's borders had been impacted.

Emperor Aubrey narrowed his eyes, leaning back on the throne, his hand slightly gripping the armrest as he slowly asked:

"So, where did this elemental disaster originate from?"

A minister tremblingly placed a magic stone in his hand, respectfully approached, and presented it to Aubrey:

"Your Majesty! This is Headmistress Rachel's recording of the Padalenbu Sea region."

The transparent magic stone gradually lit up, displaying images suffused with pale blue magical power—

The turbulent Padalenbu Sea was similarly covered in dark clouds, but the chaos was many times more terrible than in the capital.

Viktor stood amidst the surging sea, surrounded by horrific disasters, four colors intertwining together, completely losing their harmony.

This book's true home is on another platform. Check it out there for the real experience.

Lightning flashed on the cloud layer, two massive dragons vaguely visible as they coiled around each other, thunder raging and storms surging.

The tempest carried lightning that frequently struck between ocean and wasteland.

On the ocean's surface, purple electricity actively coursed through, shattering the dark rocky outcrops standing amid the powerful waves into pieces.

The rapidly falling lightning strikes shattered the vast wasteland, unleashing clouds of dust miles high, fueling intense flames that seemed capable of incinerating even the remains of gods.

Aurelianne's eyes widened at the sight.

Why was her teacher there!?

The other ministers who didn't know the truth were equally unable to close their mouths, utterly shocked.

Holy shit, isn't that Viktor?

He stood alone among four towering beasts, somehow surviving in such extreme conditions - it was truly mind-boggling.

At this point, the minister continued speaking with trembling voice:

"Baron Viktor... has been fighting there for two whole days."

Everyone else fell silent.

The minister below continued reporting to Aubrey:

"Your Majesty, the Mage Council wishes to broadcast this battle to other countries, so they wanted to seek your opinion."

Considering Viktor was after all a citizen of the Karensia Empire, the mages thought it best to consult the emperor's views.

Aubrey sat upright on his throne, watching the scene before him with a calm expression, showing not even a ripple of emotion.

However, he suddenly pointed to the white dragon vaguely visible through the thick clouds and asked:

"Last time, the one that ran from the far north to the south - was it that thing?"

The ministers were stunned by his words, briefly falling into silence.

One of them quickly nodded:

"Yes, Your Majesty, it was that dragon."

Aubrey relaxed his body, leaning back on the throne again:

"Tell the Council they have my permission."

"But they must also lend their strength in this sea."

He calmly added:

"The ocean must not be destroyed."

...

A blue bird burst through the black clouds, flying toward various parts of the world.

At that moment, in the capital's most prosperous district, a huge projection screen appeared in the sky.

It floated so high that even students hiding in their dormitories could clearly see the image.

The students gathered by the windows, holding their breath as they watched the pale blue scene unfold before their eyes.

Their gazes seemed to have lost their souls, frozen in place. Their minds went blank for a moment.

So Professor Viktor wasn't at the academy because he went to fight.

The natural sparrows quickly rode the winds to spread across the world, reaching every council member's location.

In the Western Mountains, City of Miti.

Calls rose one after another in a tavern,

At the very center of the tavern sat a dwarf whose beard nearly touched the ground.

He raised his wine cup high, wearing the councilor's medal with three broken skulls on his chest.

The sparrow landed on his hand, causing his wine cup to shake before he raised the bird high:

"Hey fellows."

"Take a look at this."

The sparrow's eyes suddenly emitted two beams of light, filling the sky with cyan images as Viktor's figure appeared before everyone.

The crowd of dwarves watched the terrifying environment, their hearts trembling even though they were far from the disaster.

Shocked, they asked the dwarf councilor in the center:

"What is this?"

The councilor took a big gulp of wine, crossed his arms and said calmly:

"This is someone who will make our Council famous."

...

The blue bird flew through the clouds, following a vine climbing up to the cloud layer.

The thick clouds continuously rolled in the darkness, with lightning occasionally flickering around.

A group of winged eagle-people lived between the towering vines.

They followed the blue bird toward an even higher place.

Until the blue bird was steadily caught by an eagle-person with massive wings.

The medal with three broken skulls on his chest gleamed faintly in the morning light.

"What news does Rachel send this time?"

The image spread across the sky, revealing a shocking scene of the Padalenbu Sea.

The eagle councilor raised an eyebrow and said:

"Oh~! Magnificent."

He covered his chest with his wings before suddenly spreading them wide, stirring up a gust of wind.

His eyes gazed fixedly toward the Padalenbu Sea, revealing intense passion.

...

The blue bird crossed the barren and rugged mountains, passing through the heavy twilight haze.

Under the watch of countless dragons living in these mountains, it flew to a peak at the mountain's summit.

At the peak stood several enormous and ferocious dragons.

They were all different, but each radiated overwhelming pressure.

Several dragons furrowed their brows upon seeing the sparrow, sparks bursting from their breath.

But absurdly enough.

Among them sat a yellow Shiba Inu.

The Shiba Inu wore a councilor's medal on its chest, tongue lolling out as it raised a paw for the blue bird to land on.

It tossed the bird forward, and the sparrow flew up into the sky.

The same scene was displayed at the mountain peak.

When the dragons saw the giant beasts in the image, it was as if a terrifying current ran through their marrow.

They lowered their bodies, adopting extremely respectful postures.

...

With all four disasters gathered, calamity descended upon the world, unavoidable by all.

Even in the kingdom, everyone felt endangered.

In the Kant Kingdom.

In a spacious and luxurious mansion, numerous servants hurried about.

An elderly man adorned with dazzling jewels and gold ornaments sat steadily in a comfortable chair by a floor-to-ceiling window, holding a cup of tea.

The Grand Duke raised his tea and took a leisurely sip.

Then his gaze turned to the magic stone brought by a servant.

Magic stones were minerals abundant in the Karensia Empire but extremely rare in the kingdom.

When magic stones appeared in the kingdom, it meant...

Something very important must have happened for them to use magic stones to transmit information.

The Grand Duke picked it up and projected its power onto the door.

Instantly, the horrific chaotic disaster plunged the entire room into an extremely gloomy atmosphere.

The Grand Duke squinted at the image and slowly spoke:

"Viktor Kravina?"

"I know of him."

He took another sip of tea, his expression remaining calm.

"The four natural elements... this is a first."

"However, I'm more interested in him."

He set down his teacup, picked up his cane beside him, stood up and paced around the room.

He walked to the floor-length window, parted the curtains, and looked outside.

The sky outside was completely covered by rolling dark clouds, the thick layers seeming ready to pour down with crushing force.

Violent rain fell chaotically as the scorching sun blazed overhead.

Lightning struck the ground as storms howled.

This terrifying sense of apocalypse continuously impacted the Grand Duke's vision.

Though the battle was happening in the seas near the Empire, its effects had already spread to the kingdom.

"Ah yes, it will be Aurelianne's birthday soon..."
