The problem was that eating and living was so damn hard.
“...Ha.”
A deep sigh came out of Cale's mouth.
‘Delicious.’
The piece of steak he placed in his mouth was juicy and instantly melted on his tongue.
“It's so good after almost dying. I guess it really is better to eat after going through some struggles.”
Cale shared his sentiments out loud.
Plop.
Tang.
Puuk.
He then flinched at the noises he heard and turned his head.
On, Hong, and Raon.
On dropped the piece of meat that was in her mouth, Hong dropped the dessert plate in his paws, and Raon dropped the knife in his paw onto the table, floor, and on top of a piece of meat in order. Raon's pupils started to shake as he shouted out loud.
“B, being alive is being great and mighty!”
“I agree! You need to be alive to eat!”
“Mary unni said that death is the only time you cannot eat. You need to live in order to eat.”
Hong and On commented after Raon.
Cale nodded his head.
“Of course. You have to be alive to eat.”
“You have to keep living.”
“Of course.”
On wagged her tail at Cale's casual response before munching on the piece of meat again. Cale wiped the sauce off of the side of On’s mouth, which was usually not needed as she was normally a meticulous eater.
Hong and Raon were getting a bunch of stuff on their faces as well.
Cale had to keep wiping things off of the children’s faces. The kittens would wag their tails and the Dragon would flutter his wings every time he did that, but Cale didn't care about that.
However, there was someone who was quite concerned about what he was seeing.
The ancient Dragon Eruhaben was sitting at the table as well. His gaze was stuck on Cale and Raon without moving.
“Cale Henituse.”
“Yes sir.”
Cale took the cup of lemonade from Ron before answering. Eruhaben continued to speak.
“You will die if your plate breaks one more time.”
“Cough!”
Cale almost choked.
“Goldie! Why are you saying something that’ll make me want to destroy the world?”
The chaotic eyes of the children averaging nine-years-old turned back toward Cale.
Even Beacrox, who was bringing in more food on a tray, and Ron, who was patting the coughing Cale’s back, started to frown.
The ancient Dragon said what he needed to say.
“Cale, your plate grew way too big. That is why it will be impossible to recover if it breaks once more. So, make sure to take good care of yourself.”
“I plan on doing that even without you saying that, Eruhaben-nim.”
Cale caught his breath as he responded back.
He really planned to do that from now. After being in pain once like that, he did not want to do that ever again.
However, Eruhaben had an odd look on his face as he looked at Cale.
‘His plate is now larger than Choi Han's plate.’
The size of this weak glass plate was larger than Choi Han’s plate.
Choi Han’s plate had been the largest Eruhaben had ever seen on a human until now.
That was why it was understandable that Choi Han had become a sword master. He was a human who could do even bigger things if he wanted to do so.
However, Cale Henituse was not like that.
‘He’s not even average, he’s a dunce.’
Cale was someone whose plate was not even average.
Such a person’s plate had become too large after the five attributes were properly gathered inside his body.
‘However, Choi Han’s plate is as sturdy as a rock while this punk's plate is weak.’
When it came to stability, it was the worst of the worst.
Eruhaben turned his gaze again.
The little kid.
Raon Miru probably realized that Cale’s plate was bigger, however, he most likely did not know just how large it became.
‘The little kid's attribute is the present.’
Although he was only 1m 20cm long, his insides were that of a full Dragon. All that was left was for him to grow. They would be able to see the adult Dragon form of Raon once he went through his third growth phase. The reason for this extremely fast first growth phase would be revealed at that moment.
It would reveal whether he will be a king or maybe something else.
“Goldie, what are you looking at?!”
“You odd little kid.”
The present related to time.
He had never heard about anyone with the time attribute.
Eruhaben bluntly responded to Raon, who was looking at him.
“Yes.”
Everyone’s gazes focused on Cale.
Cale thought about everything involving the Empire until now.
This pair of Sun God twins.
The Cat Knight Sir Rex and the alchemist from the slums.
There were many other useful cards as well.
It was just a matter of when to use each of these cards.
However, it was now time.
- How?
The sword master Hannah. He could hear her excited voice.
Cale gently spoke in a benign manner as if he was a priest.
“I plan to write a new history from the bottom up.”
First up was the inside of the Empire.
“Jack-nim and Hannah.”
The fake Holy Maiden and the half-Saint.
“The two of you will be the main characters for the history of the new Church of the Sun God.”
History is determined by a couple of strong individuals at times, however, it could also be changed by the numerous weaklings quietly waiting to strike from underneath the strong individual.
The way that Cale chose this time was a method for the weak, by the weak.
He looked toward the three people who would be the most important key players in this Empire destruction project as he continued to speak.
“You will soon meet him. There’s a hero who will become the new ruler.”
The future ruler who was hiding quietly in the slums.
Cale was going to turn him into a hero.
- Are you going to completely change the Empire?
Cale responded to Hannah’s question in a slightly jovial way. However, the words he chose to use were not jovial at all.
"We will prepare for a rebellion.”
Rebellion.
A rebellion against the Church of the Sun God and the Empire.
It was the moment that everybody's faces stiffened up. There was just one person who was smiling. The fake Holy Maiden asked Cale a question.
- Do you think that it is possible?
“It’s possible.”
How is it possible?
The eyes that were full of excitement were asking that question from the other side of the video communication device.
Cale happily responded to that question.
“The Empire will soon be struck from multiple sides.”
The Whipper Kingdom from the east and the Caro Kingdom fromo the west.
The Roan Kingdom and Breck Kingdom from the north and the Jungle from the south.
“I think Imperial Prince Adin won't be able to come to his senses. He’ll be hit from every direction.”
That two-faced bastard will be beaten to the point that he can’t feel anything.
As an extra benefit, Arm will lose another one of their allied forces.
The sword master Hannah licked her lips. Her voice was shaking at bit.
- When the Empire is in a state of total chaos...
“Yes, at that moment.”
Cale spoke as if he was making a proclamation.
“We will eat them up.”
Cale looked toward the half-Saint Jack. He was standing there with a complicated expression on his face. Cale thought about the item in his pocket while looking at Jack's innocent-looking face.
It was the divine item he had earned during his trip to the Empire.
The, ‘Condemnation of the Sun.’
He thought about the divine item that was supposed to get rid of the night as he started to speak.
“The Condemnation of the Sun shall brighten the night. That is the name of the history we will create.”
The Empire will have a new story for the religious believers.
“Prepare to leave right away.”
- Where are we going?
“You will first meet up with me.”
- And then?
Where was Cale planning to go with this pair of twins and the crazy priestess?
“The Whipper Kingdom.”
They would head for the Whipper Kingdom.
“We will make a short stop there before stealthily entering the Empire.”
Cale said that to the trio in the Super Rock Villa before calling someone else and saying something similar.
“Miss Lina, the chance to get revenge on the Empire that was responsible for the pillar of fire in Section 1 of the Jungle has arrived.”
Cale told Queen Litana to meet him at the same place.
“Please come to the Whipper Kingdom.”
He wiped his mouth after finishing his conversation with Litana before he addressed the people in the room.
“It’s time for us to go back as well.”
The Western continent should be a chaotic mess right now.
It was time to make it even worse.
