CHAPTER 58: PLANETARY EMPEROR

The aftermath of the battlefield was a scene of utter carnage, with bodies strewn everywhere.

Exploded vehicles littered around, slowly churning out smoke. Lifeless heads lay near the tyres of the vehicles.

The orange-looking sky was now a shade of ash, looking like it was slowly burning.

Emperor Julian stared at the scene, on his face an indifferent expression.

It was done. It was over.

He was thrust into the middle of a planetary war and without preparation had won.

He must have been feeling bloated with praise. But then, he wasn’t.

Of course, there was a burning sensation in his heart of accomplishment, he just couldn’t accept it.

But, he, Julian, the galactic knight, had conquered another planet entirely.

Entirely that he would not only rule against Drayyors, but then, against Hellfott.

He didn’t know about this galaxy. He didn’t know the texture of what he was about to face.

But he gazumped on victory and sullied his earlier deadly fate.

It sounded like a fairytale. A clueless guy enters a planet, hoping to be made governor by the current governor, but then, instead of the easy path, he did it the hard way.

He didn’t take the role of Emperor by just doing nothing. He killed many, and spook fear into the people facing him. They saw him as a god, but then, Julian wasn’t, and Xea told him pretty bluntly.

’[If you wish to destroy the imperium,]’ Xea said to him. ’[Then you shouldn’t celebrate this.]’

Julian knew, at least he knew he wasn’t so strong as to a god level.

’[If you know how powerful the imperium is. They rule many galaxies at the same time and controls and large amount of power. This stuff you just did, is only ten percent in the power to take on the imperium.]’

Julian made that Cavill’s Superman face again. The looks, the aura.

They chanted his name from below.

Julian looked at them, raising both hands upwards, not too up but just a bit past his shoulder level.

Julian was pondering. Cogitating, thinking.

He flew upwards, looking at the countless heads on the floor that had been chopped off.

He looked at the commander’s head and then, he saw two soldiers running to his direction (not literally as he was in the sky).

They held the Drayyorsain governor head. Julian looked at them, his face indifferent.

About time.

He slowly descended down.

The soldiers were still chanting his name, same with Drayyors citizens.

Julian didn’t even know there were citizens. Surprisingly, he hadn’t seen any until he came here. When the fights had been happening back at the city, he didn’t see them.

Drayyors soldiers and Hellfotts soldiers were now waving their flags in the air. Julian had seen some flags when he was teleported to the war zone but later on, he seemed to not see any again.

Julian landed on the ground and the soldiers formed a circle, encircling him.

He was pretty surprised that Hellfotts soldiers were bowing and hailing him.

He asked Xea, with his helmet on, no one could see him moving his mouth. And his voice was a whisper.

"Why do the Hellfott soldiers suddenly agree to me as their Emperor?"

’[They have no choice.]’ Xea said. ’[And it’s tradition. You killing their commander and their governor in the same day made you a god to them. Brutality is reverend in this galaxy and you just showed them the true meaning to them. You’re god to them but a micro orgibsm to the imperium. Have that in mind.]’

Julian nodded in the affirmative.

The assigned soldiers came to him. One held the head which he stretched forth his hands to him.

Julian ignored it, he looked around for a sword. He saw three behind soldiers. He picked up just two and walked over to the soldier who still had his hands stretched.

With a grim expression, Julian thrust the sword in his left hand on the Drayyors former governor head.

The soldier looked at him in shock.

What was Julian trying to do?

Julian looked for the head of the governor of Hellfott, the governor he had just exploded his spaceship.

It was bloody, the flesh almost out. It was still dripping with blood. Julian didn’t mind. He thrust the other sword in it and immediately plunged to the sky.

The soldiers gasped.

Julian raised his heads shoulder level, very high in the clouds but where they could see him. He was acting pretty much like Cavill’s Superman in aura and steeze.

Raising his hands up. The heads of the soldiers glistened in the orange sky.

The soldiers and citizens immediately understood.

"It’s a unifying sign!" some of them shouted.

"It’s a sign of dominance!" many shouted.

Julian liked that pretty much. ’Dominance’ was the word.

"All hail Emperor Julian!" they shouted.

"All hail Emperor Julian!"

"All hail Emperor Julian!"

"All hail Emperor Julian!"

Julian didn’t know if this place had a sun because something was now shining towards his armor.

[DING!]

He heard from his system.

[You killed over a hundred steel monsters.]

[You killed over three hundred soldiers here in Drayyors.]

’Three hundred, Damn!, was it that many?’

[You chopped off the head of planet Hellfott commander.]

[You didn’t kill the Drayyorsain governor.]

Julian chuckled.

’Oh, was that an achievement too?,’ he thought.

[You exploded the Battleship with the governor of Hellfott.]

[You made the Hellfotts soldiers bow for you.]

[You became an Emperor.]

[DING!]

Julian looked to the skies.

Emperor Julian looked to the skies.
