（W-W-WHAT IN THE HELL IS THIS!?）
Ramiel was wondering what in the world she had just seen while trying her best to not pass out from fear.
The extremely intimidating presence was released by the transcendences around her. She was familiar with such a
presence. It happen when she attends the ceremony in Elysium, the headquarters of the heavenly army. The top brass of the
heavenly army attended that ceremony. Those top brass released the same pressure as now. Moreover, the pressure didn't
come just from the few transcendences around the stone pedestal surrounded by sword pillars, it came from all
transcendences present in there.
Which superpower is this? I knew all the top brass of the heavenly army since they're pretty much the strongest, both their
photo and name were pretty much known by all angels. And yet, I knew none of the gods in this place. Since that was the
case, there was only one possibility.
Namely―― The infamous Evil Army.
（D-Don't mess with me!）
She heard many times from her superior about the repulsive act of the evil army. Their victim was considered as lucky if they
could get a swift, painless death. Otherwise, both their body and soul would be tortured forever. That was by no means an
ending that Ramiel wished for.
But, even if she tried to escape now, she didn't think that the gods who surrounded the plaza would let her go.
（Thank goodness I haven't made any careless move since I arrived…）
The current situation was obviously beyond what a mere angel like Ramiel could handle.
2/7
Since she heard the human say the person he wanted to meet was the strongest in the world, she became intrigued and
decided to stay behind to make sure of the situation. Alas, now that Ramiel realized that what the human called GIl said was
by no means an exaggeration, it was already too late for her. Anyhow, all the wargods present in the place were currently
kneeling in one direction, to a man who stood on the pedestal.
「Nice to meet you. My name is Kai Heineman. Are you the one who requested a meeting with me?」
The black-haired youth with a common appearance stood arrogantly on top of the pedestal surrounded by swords, he
looked at the plaza and then introduced himself.
（What's the meaning of this?）
The evil army was the literal embodiment of malice in this world. They know no compromise. Especially to the ones whose
strength was below that of god, they were heartless monsters who treated humans as nothing more than crawling bugs.
Does that mean they're not the evil army? Surely, with so many powerful gods, I should've at least known a few of them if they
were the infamous evil army. But, I definitely never heard of the one called Kai Heineman. Moreover, I didn't feel negative
emotions such as hostility, contempt, or disdain that were always there in the evil army of Kai Heineman.
If this isn't the evil army, then who are they? No, their power literally makes them the third superpower. If this was the truth,
then this news would shake the celestial realm.
Could it be that the god of fly was actually Kai Heineman's subordinate? Come to think of it, that god of fly said something
along the 『Supreme Ruler』, right?
（No, this is impossible! Yes, this must be an illusion!）
Or rather, it means that Ares-sama had touched the reverse scale of the third superpower. If that really happened, they
might go up and attack the celestial realm――
When Ramiel imagined such a bleak future――
「I beseech you to save us, the monster of North Grand!」
A cat-headed monster came forward as the representative from Gil and co and said his request with a trembling voice.
「And what kind of merit I will get from saving you? Don't put me together like those brave or heroes, I'm not a hypocrite like
them. I have no reason to save you unless I gain something from this, isn't it?」
In return, Kai Heineman asks back to the monsters with a composed voice. That alone was enough to send a shiver running
down into everyone's spine.
That is a natural reaction, the reason being the man who spoke is the leader of all wargods who surrounded them. A simple
order from him might end up with all of them killed on the spot. The other angel, nay, maybe not even fellow gods dare to act
audaciously in front of these wargods.
And then, in place of Chigi who was at loss for words,
「Please take all of us, the monsters of North Grand as the citizens of Princess Rosemary. We in turn will pledge our allegiance
to her.」
The human called girl then stepped forward and sent a lifeboat to hell, from Ramiel's perspective.
3/7
Wait a minute, I've heard about Rosemary before. She should be the saint who holds the gift of hero summoning. In the first
place, someone of her status wasn't supposed to be in this kind of place. What in the hell is this human talking about?
「…」
Kai Heineman sent a sidelong glance at the woman who wore a white hood that standing by his side and,
「We have the right to choose.」
And the answer was just as Ramiel had expected. The one who surrounded the plaza was war gods whose power was
comparable with the top brass of the heavenly army. There was no reason for them to grant the wish of being from the lower
realm. Because there was no way the war gods were willing to take in the monsters as their citizens.
「Having the citizens of this city to join Princess Rose will give her a lot of benefits.」
Moreover, Gil replied with an incomprehensible answer. Ramiel felt Gil's attempt was futile since there was never a case in
which the leader of transcendence being took interest in the situation of the lower realm.
Or so she had expected――
「Hoo, care to explain the kind of benefit that she will get?」
Kai Heineman's remarks destroyed all of Ramiel's previous misconceptions.
「 Monsterfolk is a mass of diversity. Some can fly in the sky, some have raw physical strength, some have dexterous hands,
and all of them have their own racial talent. With enough training in the craft and learning, they can easily become the
center of culture and business in this world.」
「Uhm, sure enough, you have a point that a certain person failed to realize. Right, Rose?」
Kai Heineman asked the woman whose face was covered in a white hood beside him with a rather pleased voice.
Rose? The real princess Rose? Wait a minute, what did this leader of that transcendence say just now? Did he just agree with
the plan to make these monsters into citizens of the god realm?
「The kingdom government won't recognize the monster as their citizen, you should've known about that right?」
The woman called Rose spouted an extremely reckless remark that might cost her life.
Naturally, Ramiel had also agreed that it was a request beyond shameless. Naturally, she didn't refer to the recognition of the
puny organization called Amelia kingdom government, she was referring to the prideful wargods around them who wouldn't
recognize the monster as their citizen.
「Big sister, that's misplaced worry.」
Gil on the other hand heaved a sigh after hearing Rose's question and then replied with a rather dumbfounded face, and
Ramiel had also agreed with him.
「Well, maybe because you're too close. And that must be the reason why you fail to understand your current status. The
intention of the kingdom government has already lost its meaning at this point, maybe even long before that.」
That's right, what mattered was the intention of the leader of these wargods, Kai Heineman.
「Lost their meaning? The intention of a superpower like Amelia kingdom?」
4/7
「See? That remark itself is proof that you failed to understand the real situation. By the time Kai-sama became your royal
guard, the crown contest itself had already lost its' meaning. But your confusion is only natural since after arriving at this
point, I realized that the only one who noticed this was the aberration of prime minister Johannes Roosevelt. That's why at
that time――」
Gil spoke rapidly in one breath.
Johannes Roosevelt was the name of the prime minister of the Amelia kingdom. He was so famous that even Ramiel and co
knew about him. Though the reason was because he was considered as volatile element, in the end Ramiel and co did
nothing since the person was a mere human. Thus she was wondering why that name came out of nowhere in this
conversation with gods.
While Ramiel was lost in her own world, the tip of Kai Heineman's lips formed a smile,
「Let's go back to the story. Becoming our citizen means that you want to officially join under Rose's wings. Does that mean
you're going to abandon the crown contest?」
And raised a question that made Ramiel even more confused to Gil.
（What in the world is happening here!）
Why becoming a citizen of Kai Heineman related to Gil joining under the wings of Princess Rose? It's not like he's serving under
the like of the saint. He must be some kind of flippant god.
「The last few months made me to realize that I'm just a coward, miserable, and pitiful man. I came to realize that I'm just a
tiny human who can't do anything without everyone's cooperation. There's no way someone like that qualified to become a
king.」
Gil shrugged his shoulders, looking at the monsters in the plaza as he spoke with a vexed look on his face.
「Your dream was to become a king, right?」
At that moment, Kai Heineman's smile had vanished, replaced with a serious face.
「You already know, right? My dream isn't to become king.」
「Then, what is your dream? Becoming king is your mother's last words, right?」
「At the end of the long journey that you imposed on me, I have come to realize the true meaning of my mother's last
words.」
「The true meaning of your mother's last words… Care to tell me about it?」
「What my mother really wished for wasn't for me to become a king, she only wanted me to become a good man.」
「…」
Kai Heineman stared silently at Gil for a while, and then hit his face with the palm of his hand, laughing like a maniac.
The audience looked curiously at him for a while after that alas, Kai Heineman ignored the curious gaze for a while before he
coughed lightly,
「Sounds good to me. That's all I want to ask. Rose, you're fine right?」
5/7
He looked at Rose to confirm her intentions.
「Yes….」
The saint Rose gave a nod as she cried.
「Well then, Gilbert Loto Amelia, you have to convince them next! I will respect their opinion.」
He was referring to the two figures wearing navy blue hoods kneeling to Kai Heineman beside Rose.
Both of them then stood up, bowed to Kai Heineman, and took off their robes.
One of them was a freckled youth, Tetle, and the other was a handsome, blonde youth, Somni.
