Chapter 588: Proclamation Against the Silent King

Zara Susa raised his interest slightly,

he opened the letter,

the first half of the letter was a personal message from Anlakai'er to Zara Susa,

"Dear Zara Susa."

"Asshole, don't you dare call me by my name!"

"You know I, the Traveler Anlakai'er, have always respected the property of the dead."

"Say that while looking at the Starflame you stole from me, thief!"

"Would someone like me really steal your Starflame? Reflect on that."

"But you did steal it! Asshole!"

"After being accused like this, I began investigating who actually stole your Starflame."

"Look at Taraxin right beside you! Fool!"

"After decades of investigation, I uncovered the truth—it was the Silent King who stole your Starflame."

"Damn it! Even if you're framing someone, at least try to be convincing!"

"Apparently, the shameless Silent King wanted to sow discord between you and me."

"Why would he do such a thing? Is he that cheap?"

"But I risked everything to snatch the Starflame back from the Silent King."

"Were you possessed by some outsider, or did the Void Dragon resurrect inside you?"

"Thanks to the blessing of Saint Doraemon."

"Thank Saint Doraemon for me!"

Zara Susa fell silent under Anlakai'er's half-hearted explanation,

yet he still keenly picked out several key details,

first, Anlakai'er truly worshipped this so-called Saint Doraemon.

Second, Anlakai'er clearly intended to make the Silent King his enemy.

Third—and the most shocking to Zara Susa—

Anlakai'er actually made Taraxin vomit up what it had swallowed??

No, it probably wasn't Anlakai'er—it must have been Saint Doraemon,

this Saint Doraemon truly had power—he could make Taraxin return stolen items,

could it be that he truly grants souls to the dead?

Zara Susa fell silent. Many dynasties must have received the returned items from Taraxin and noticed the same thing Zara Susa had.

Saint Doraemon's credibility had risen dramatically.

What a calculating god—is he really not a fraud?

Zara Susa fell silent for a moment, then looked down at the public proclamation.

"Former ruler of the Peria Tomb World, now appointed by imperial decree as Supreme Commander of the All-Dead Uprising Army, General of the Great Doraemon Campaign Against the Silent King, the Traveler Anlakai'er, hereby proclaims to all Space-Dead Imperial officials, military commanders, civil servants, and common folk:

The false ruler, Sizha, lacks wisdom and virtue; his crimes are unforgivable; he lacks the talent to shoulder great responsibility and the merit to hold the divine artifact. Once a king terrified of extinction, he summoned the Star Gods to serve him, believed slanderous words, brought ruin upon the Three Saints, elevated cruel villains, trusted treacherous deities, indulged in gluttony and violence, slaughtered loyalists without purging evil, corrupted morality and oppressed the people, deceived his sovereign with cunning, and with the heart of a viper and the nature of a wolf, he consorted with wickedness, slaughtered his own clan and kin, burned my body to forge puppets, stole my soul to feed demonic gods—his crimes stir universal outrage and are intolerable to the heavens.

Yet he grows even more arrogant, daring to declare: 'Without me, how could you Space-Dead have overcome the Star Gods?'"

"Alas! This is truly a madman without father or mother, without loyalty or righteousness, who delights in chaos and disaster! How could he be our race's sovereign? I have always heard: since the primordial qi first divided, when humanity first emerged, every race's sovereign has reverently feared the heavens, cherished and nurtured the people, labored ceaselessly, acted with utmost caution, humbly blamed himself for faults, and grieved over his own sins. The Western Gaoqi of the Spirit Race did so; the Emperors of the Human Race did so; even the Titanium Race's Aether did so.

Yet this thief, Sizha, who steals glory and deceives the world—his crimes provoke the wrath of gods and men—dare he claim all credit for our race's triumph over the Star Gods? Did the unified will of our Imperial Sovereigns and people, who united to slay the Star Gods, belong to Sizha alone? Now, Saint Doraemon, in his benevolence, cannot bear our race's suffering without souls; he seeks to rescue countless dead from fire and water. Yet Sizha, foolish and incompetent, rejects the Saint and harms our race from within—his ambition is wolfish and cruel. All of you must take heed!"

"In ancient times, our ancestors who feared extinction enshrined the Imperial Sovereigns, established the Three Saints, and secured the galaxy like unshakable rock, laboring day and night to govern, ensuring the source remained pure and the stream clear. Unfortunately, the false ruler ascended, deceit ruled the court, schemers swarmed around, and the state trembled. Our ancestors once said: 'When the court lacks upright ministers and treachery festers within, every Imperial Sovereign must train troops to punish such evil and cleanse the corruption of the Three Saints.'

Now, disaster looms upon us; we seek to save our nation, and have no choice. Therefore, I call upon all Imperial Sovereigns of the galaxy to swear an alliance, uphold heaven's mandate, and wage war against the traitor. We stand in eternal enmity with the foolish tyrant. We welcome Saint Doraemon to save our people. Saint Doraemon, ancestor of the Fear-Extinct, witness my heart!"

Slam!!

Within the mother planet Mandala of the Sotek Dynasty, the strongest military power among the dead,

Emperor Storm King Yimotaike hurled the letter Anlakai'er had sent—"Anlakai'er's Proclamation Against the Silent King"—onto the table,

"Fuck! How the hell did Anlakai'er think of this? He stole all my spotlight!"

"Why can't you guys write me a Proclamation of Storm King Against the Silent King?!"
