Summoning Millions of Gods Daily, My Strength Equals Theirs Combined

Chapter 175: Chapter175-The Mundane Monarch Who Looked at the Sky from the Bottom of a Well?

”Your path may be one of blazing brilliance, standing upon the pinnacle of glory where all beings look up to you in reverence.”

Josephine’s voice echoed across the sacred plaza, calm and composed, carrying a faint serenity within it.

”But my path... is to protect this city of Eryndor. To remain by his side.”

”You will never understand the weight borne by one who walks alone through thorns while carrying an entire empire upon his shoulders—nor the exhaustion that hides between his brows. Someone must share that burden.”

”My fate is already intertwined with His Majesty’s—with every inch of land in the Crossbridge Empire, with the pulse of Eryndor City itself. It cannot be separated.”

”These same words, I told you many years ago.”

Her tone was resolute—unyielding like stone.

”The resonance of souls is something you can never comprehend. I’m not surprised. Sacco—congratulations. May you enjoy your boundless glory.”

Sacco’s eyes darkened completely.

He no longer looked at her. All the crushing force of his aura surged toward the young emperor who still stood with his back turned.

Aurek, however, ignored his presence entirely.

After placing the golden oak spike into the sacred basin, he calmly lifted the crystal chalice that shimmered with starlight and immersed it into the flowing river below.

He gazed at the surging waters of the Saint Alber River, and a glint of cold light flickered across his eyes.

”I,” he said—his voice echoing clearly within every soul present,”am not accustomed to looking up to anyone.”

The ten Doomsday Warriors standing like statues at his side instantly erupted with destructive energy fluctuations.

But Aurek merely raised his right hand slightly and pressed downward.

At once, the rampant power subsided. The ten warriors froze as though sealed in time.

Some obstacles had to be crushed by his own hand.Some arrogance—personally trampled beneath his feet.

”Two years ago, you were as insignificant as an ant. My queen never even spared you a glance.”

”Her judgment was flawless...”

”You truly are an eyesore.”

There was no emotion in Aurek’s voice.

He took a step forward.

The void beneath his feet seemed to condense into solid steps, capable of supporting the weight of a monarch.

In the next instant—

That towering figure appeared in midair above the sacred altar.

Beneath the Altar of Prayer, Winston, Heimerdinger, Chuck, Harland, and the other imperial ministers stared upward in disbelief, eyes wide open.

Even Josephine’s luminous eyes trembled slightly.

”This is...?!”

In the distance, all those suspended in midair felt their pupils contract violently.

They had known Aurek was not an ordinary man—but what shook them to their very core was the audacity of this emperor, who dared to dismiss the brightest star of the heavens as ”an eyesore”!

Snow and Kafka’s expressions changed drastically.

The emperor before them was nothing like the mediocrity described in their intelligence reports.

Even Clement and Teresa—who had maintained an air of detachment—were now deadly serious, their gazes fixed upon Aurek.

Clement let out a cold snort.”A mundane monarch who sees the world from the bottom of a well... your vision is—”

”Pathetically narrow?””Or simply ignorant of heaven’s height and earth’s depth?”

Aurek finished the words he hadn’t said.

At the same moment, he took another step forward.

His figure seemed to merge with light itself, and when he appeared again, he stood even higher—upon the vault of heaven.

That towering silhouette resembled an ancient divine mountain descending from beyond the ages.

BOOM—!!!

An explosion of peak master–rank aura roared out like a boiling starsea!

The very laws of heaven and earth twisted under his will. Layer upon layer of invisible force crushed downward, as though the entire sky had collapsed—bearing down on the Sacred Black Dragon and everyone riding upon its back!

The imperial will that symbolized ultimate sovereignty flooded outward like an invisible tide, scouring and shattering their mental defenses!

Magical energy surged and overflowed, turning the heavens themselves into Aurek’s absolute domain—suffocating, compressing, and dominating every inch of space!

Splurt—!

Clement’s protective barrier shattered first. He coughed out a mouthful of blood!

Sacco and Teresa’s defensive halos and enchanted artifacts blazed wildly, their bodies trembling uncontrollably as though they could be crushed at any moment.
