When the Villainess Died, the Male Lead Went Crazy - Chapter 135.2

Goddess Julias lost her power and vanished. And with Lillith’s disappearance, all the fragments of the gods who were once aligned with the God of Order were destroyed, leaving no gods remaining in the world.

Kylian, having absorbed Lillith’s power, realized that he could now be like a god himself. However, he soon made another choice. He decided to turn back time.

“Give up now, Duke Percival.”

Kylian had returned to the moment the coup succeeded, the very instant when Duke Percival had fired his gun.

As Duke Percival scanned the surroundings with piercing eyes, Kylian quickly tore off the restraints around his arm. The sound of the iron pieces falling to the ground echoed as Kylian tightened his grip on his sword.

“How dare you betray me?”

Duke Percival glared, but it was Marquis Balder who answered in his place.

“The betrayal was committed by Duke Percival himself. After all, it was you who ruined my family once before.”

The Marquis’s knights surrounded Duke Percival.

“If you surrender now, your honor will be spared.”

“You filthy palace dog!”

Duke Percival’s rage turned toward Kylian, the surviving bloodline of the imperial family. He had realized that only Kylian was not threatened in this situation.

Kylian felt Anais trying to block him, and he tightened his grip on the sword.

Bang!

“Kylian!”

As Anais rushed toward him, he shielded her and spun around. A bullet from Duke Percival’s gun struck Kylian’s shoulder.

“Father! What is this…!”

“Die, you filthy palace dog!”

As Duke Percival aimed to fire again, Kylian swung his sword, slicing through the gun Duke Percival was holding.

“Ugh…”

“Seize Duke Percival.”

“Yes.”

At Marquis Balder’s command, Duke Percival was captured. Kylian glanced at Anais whose face had turned white. She appeared stunned, yet her gaze kept returning to her father as if worried for his safety.

At that moment, Kylian pulled his hand away from hers and swung his sword.

“Aahhk!”

“Kugh!”

“Your Majesty, why…!”

Kylian swiftly cut down Marquis Balder’s subordinates. Determined not to repeat past mistakes, Kylian chose to deal with Duke Percival first. That way, neither he nor Anais would be put in danger.

Kylian knew that no one would dare target him now. Without a valid heir to the throne, the coup would turn into a rebellion.

“Kylian!”

After eliminating Marquis Balder’s men, Kylian finally stopped and lowered his sword.

“You…”

Duke Percival, who was bound and kneeling, was forced to face the ground.

“Though I understand why you tried to shoot me, my true master is Anais.”

Watching Duke Percival’s shocked expression, Kylian unleashed his sword’s energy and pointed it at his throat.

“I will become an Emperor for Anais.”

“….”

“If you don’t agree, I’ll end your life right here.”

“Kylian…”

Anais grabbed his arm in surprise. He wanted to hug Anais right then, but he knew it wasn’t the time, so he restrained himself.

“Do you agree?”

Duke Percival saw the madness in Kylian’s eyes and chuckled. There were no allies around him now. But, seeing that Kylian had sworn to live for his daughter, Duke Percival thought that killing him would be meaningless.

Believing this was his final opportunity, Duke Percival sighed.

“I greet the only sun of the Empire.”

Duke Percival bowed his head in front of Kylian.

Since Kylian had renounced the power of the gods, it returned to its original place, resulting in the birth of new gods.

All gods were once destroyed, so their original selves and powers disappeared. This essence of power, passing through Lilith’s hands, then Kylian’s, transformed into something new.

Hence, new gods were born, with the same names and powers, but without any memory of their former selves.

Goddess Julias, once a god of order, lost her original identity and became entirely new. The same happened with the goddess Roseraine.

The new gods tried to conceal the changes that had taken place to prevent the chaos from reaching the human world. Humans didn’t know what had happened to the gods, though some perceptive ones might have sensed something, but they couldn’t speak of it with certainty.

After the coup, Kylian naturally became Emperor. Duke Percival, recognizing that Kylian valued his daughter more than himself, acknowledged him as the Emperor.

Kylian handled all of Duke Percival’s enemies that day, and with Anais, they worked together to ensure the stability of the empire.
