Their world doesn't need gods.

【To the dear Duke of Leopold, His Excellency Philip

Why are these two people's heads on your desk? I'm sure you know the reason very well. Since these two directly ordered the guards of the east gate of the imperial capital, I made them pay the price.

Next, it will be you and the entire Duke of Oupold's family.

I will not let you disappear from the history of the empire immediately, but let you watch yourself decay and rot bit by bit, and completely turn into the garbage you despise, just like the vicious curse you used.

Your Excellency the Duke, you are free to struggle as hard as you can. I am very much looking forward to your performance.

After all, as a clown, the performance of the former Prime Minister of the Empire must be quite wonderful. I will remember it in my heart as my final tribute to you. 】

After Philip finished reading the letter, he twisted the paper into a ball and slammed it hard on the desk.

(That bastard kid, how dare he provoke and humiliate me like this, I will definitely make him regret it!)

Just from the way this thing was done, Philip guessed that Alfred was the mastermind behind this incident.

Only that damn arrogant kid who was born in the Duke of Elect's family could do such a thing!

"Ah~ That brat's style of doing things is even more aggressive than Senior Philip's. This really surprises me."

Just as Philip was thinking about how to take revenge on Alfred, a familiar man's voice was heard in the room.

Philip hadn't heard this voice for a long time, and he would never forget the owner of this voice even if he died.

He is the former Duke of the Elect family, Tongsi.

Following him was a young woman, the gorgeously dressed Bishop of the Annu religion, Marina.

"Tong Si...why are you here?"

Philip glared at Tongs fiercely, but calmly took out a flintlock rifle with loaded bullets from the drawer.

This flintlock rifle is filled with special explosive bullets. Even if it cannot kill Tons and Marina, it can buy Philip time to escape and call the guards in the mansion to deal with the two.

"Don't be nervous, Philip-senpai."

Tong Si, who was Philip's junior in school, said this with his usual annoying and frivolous smile.

From the beginning, Philip hated the Duke of Elect's family very much, and he hated Tongs who was born in this family even more.

It is clear that as a noble he is not even as good as a third-rate one, but he always has something that makes people envy him.

Philip had also been very fond of some of Tons' lovers in the past, who were not only beautiful but also very talented.

If they could be obtained, it would not only bring great help to the Duke of Opold's family, but the children born from these women's excellent genes alone would make the future of the Duke of Opold's family bright.

But those stupid women didn't even look at the excellent Philip, but were obsessed with this guy Tongs.

This jealousy and hatred did not fade in Philip's heart even after decades.

In addition, the imperial marshal that Tong Si had killed in a duel in front of all the imperial nobles was Philip's cousin. He was secretly promoted to the high position of imperial marshal by Philip's father as an insider of the Duke of Opold's family in the imperial army.

However, Tongs killed the other person in public, and this incident also brought shame to the Duke of Opold's family.

In addition, Alfred was the grandson of this bastard, so Philip planned to seek revenge on Tons for all his old and new grudges at once.

Before he raised his flintlock and aimed at Tongs, his body froze in place as if under some kind of spell, and he couldn't move even a finger.

"Alas~ You are still the same as always. You won't die if you just stay calm and listen to what others say."

Tongsi sighed speechlessly and signaled Marina to remove part of the magic so that Philip could speak normally.

Marina smacked her lips and reluctantly did as she was told.

"What are you two planning to do? I am..."

"Duke of Opold? But since you are being targeted by that kid Arna, it will be hard for you to stay in this position for long, right? Now the entire Duke of Opold's family may have to be buried with you. It's really a pity."

Tong Si sneered with a playful expression, spreading his hands and shaking his head.

"You bastard, just relying on that little brat to be able to..."

"That brat defeated me, who had already joined the Annu Cult, and also took away Alberta, the second princess of the Elf Empire."

Tong Si sighed with pretended regret.

"You seemed to have planned to pursue that Elf's High Mountain Flower before? I'm sorry, but that brat seemed to have taken the lead."

When Philip heard Tongs mention this matter, his face turned blue with anger.

The growth and development cycle of elves is completely different from that of humans.

When Philip and Tongs were young, Alberta looked only slightly younger than she does now, and looked like a beautiful girl of fifteen or sixteen years old.

Alberta's appearance and figure were outstanding even among the elves, who were full of beautiful women. In addition, she was born into the royal family of the Elf Empire, so once she established a relationship with them, she would have the support of the Elf Empire.

Alberta was once the ideal dream lover in the hearts of Philip and Tons, the imperial nobles of that generation.

But these guys have no idea how pathetic Alberta's character is.

They just wanted Alberta's body because she was beautiful and a very wealthy woman.

Of course, Philip, who was ambitious since his youth, also coveted Alberta for this reason.

Unfortunately, Alberta would not even look twice at the human-shaped succubus like Tongs, let alone the greedy guy like Philip.

"How is that possible? That woman hates your Duke Elect's family the most!"

Philip denied it angrily.

By bloodline, Philip is also a descendant of Elect.

Of course, he had also heard the rumors that Elect had an ambiguous relationship with the current Elf Queen of the Empire.

Because of this rumor, Alberta hated the Duke of Elect's family very much.

She would never give herself to the brat from Duke Elect's family!

Philip convinced himself in this way.

Emotionally, he was completely unwilling to believe that Alfred was having an affair with Alberta.

If this is true, it means that Erica may still receive assistance from the Elf Empire...

The current situation was so despairing that it was hard to describe it to him.

"I don't know the specific details, but Alberta really likes that kid. If the Elf Empire comes to interfere, you will definitely lose, right, Senior Philip?"

"What are you going to do?"

Philip understood what Tongsi meant and asked vigilantly.

"I want to cooperate with you to get rid of that little devil~ After all, the Lord God I serve now hates that little devil very much. It's really regrettable and troublesome, don't you think~"

?◇?◇?◇?◇?

—Alfred—

Campus life is as peaceful as ever... but actually it's not peaceful at all.

The attack and assassination of Erica by Duke Leopold's faction, and Alfred's subsequent revenge against her, caused the continuous conflicts to make the situation in the palace and even the entire imperial capital extremely tense.

The entire imperial capital was shrouded in an oppressive feeling of impending storm, as if anyone's carelessness might lead to bloodshed in the palace, or even a civil war that would sweep across the entire empire.

People living in the imperial capital, whether nobles or commoners, were all in a panic.

However, Alfred was not worried.

Anyway, if Duke Opold really dared to rebel, he could destroy him and Duke Opold's family at any time with justification.

The problem lies with the Cult of Annu and the psychopathic god behind them, Loren.

Goddess Noa is now staying in the dormitory used by Alfred, but she has not provided him with any new information.

Alfred could only believe now that during the ensuing dispute with Duke Opold, the members of the Annu Cult would get involved and reveal their true colors.

As for the affairs inside the palace, Erica will have to worry about them now.

With Emilia by his side, Alfred doesn't have to worry about Erica getting into any danger.

Staying in Illya, Alfred pretended to be a student and attended classes as usual during the day, and prepared his combat power as much as possible during his rest time.

Whether it is to lure Loren out of the God Realm, or to eliminate the remaining two super soul fusion creatures left on this continent, Tiamat under the capital of the Elf Empire, or Nergal, who is located on the Hague Peninsula and whose whereabouts are unknown, Alfred does not have enough basic combat power.

Although with Christina and Emilia's fighting power, it is not a problem to destroy the two monsters.

However, those two super soul fusion creatures will produce a large number of monsters or undead, which will hinder the two of them.

Moreover, when Emilia and Christina are out on the move, Illya, Arya and the palace may be attacked by the Cult of Annu.

Although Loren is a fool, he is not stupid.

Moreover, the actual combat power that Loren possesses is much stronger than that of Alfred.

Even with the help of the goddess of fate Noa, Alfred must be careful.

People who need to be careful also include this sinister goddess.
