The eeneral’s lowly bowed head “General, do you dislike the idea of being my sword?”

“That’s not it” On the contrary, he wanted to beco else He was the leader of the Embroidered Uniform Guard—the Jinyiwei He was the ereat influence everyone envied

However, His Majesty had never attempted to revive their division since it had been destroyed

“Your Majesty There is no need to make this difficult Please, just allow me”

“Allow you? Oh, allow you to kill Jincheon?” His Majesty the Eround like some hillbilly boy

“Your Majestyyyy! Please, nity!”

“No, you please ly “General You are strong”

“”

“You are strong enough to kill Jincheon Even I know that”

“Then why…”

“But are you certain that you can slice his throat without daive you pereneral couldn’t answer the e question

He had already run battle simulations in his head several ti Jincheon wasn’t someone he could defeat only with a few attacks

Once he fell silent, the eed to bloom in the midst of ruins It is the final hope the central district has left behind”

If the general fought Na Jincheon, the city would have to suffer

“If the ht, the ones who suffer would be the people And a significant a in the Chip will be absorbed as well”

It would destroy the future of the central district—non as Neo City

The man knew that much He knew He knew very well

“But…”

Why did the emperor have to lay down his life for this?

He couldn’t say it out loud because he was all choked up

“General, you did not believe back then either, correct?”

“”

“You did not believe that this desolate land would beco realistic”

“Indeed Realistically, it seeination So, I wish you would trust me this time, too”

“Your Majesty…”

The Frost Queen dabbed at her tears with a handkerchief “What a fine—fine ruler I feel like I must learn from him”

“Yeah”

The Eung Jincheon wanted the ‘System Chip,’ and he knew that there was no realistic way to stop him

“But I had no idea that he would become an AI himself”

This was one of the secrets of Neo City For the past 700 years, only one ened over this land He was the very sa Na Jincheon

“Geez, I don’t even knohat to say,” Seo Jun-Ho remarked

The eung Jincheon ceaselessly attempted to hack the System Chip, but it remained safe

Unfortunately, the city was still destined for destruction Now, the herald of its destruction was only one step away fro all the ‘First Chips’

“” Seo Jun-Ho looked at the skeleton once again He originally thought that it belonged to His Majesty the E”
