The Path of the Great Sovereign 181 A Ruler's Uncertainty

"Do you think what I am doing is wrong?"

Nel looked at Tatsuo with confusion.

"What do you mean?"

"This. All of this. At the end of the day, all I am doing is going from one place to another, taking over the natives and placing them under our rule. Many die, Many families are left separated and for what? So I can speak in the third person? So I can sit high above many and below none? What is the point?"

Nel looked at her husband who despite being the most powerful man she has ever met before looked at her with eyes of uncertainty. Gathering her thoughts she placed a hand on his cheek.

"In plane 19 where you found me and turned me into the Empress that sits above the heavens, I was nothing more than a collection of human souls that found sentience. If you didn't exist I would have just become one of Aizen's disposable Arrancar, something that exists just to help him accomplish his goals along with Ulquiorra, Gin, and the others that followed you from there.

In Plane 18 you allowed humans and spirit beasts to live together while there are some things that needed to be smoothed out in the beginning after a few decades everything is still going well. The people that once had no hope of becoming cultivators due to their "Trash Spirits" are now powerful and Lofty Titled Douluo.

Now here in Plane 17 you made it to the main plane of existence you have become a god that millions of people pray to every day. You have allowed things that would have never been possible before to become possible. Wherever you decided to go and expand the territories of the Night Empire the citizens have only flourished. You are The High-Emperor of the Night. There are Trillions of lives that are now your responsibility and some of the lives you are now responsible would have just been named on a tombstone if not for your intervention.

You are over 100 Thousand years old yet you still act like a Child! Making fun of Zeus when you are old enough to be his Grandfather yet when you come home you act like this! You are The High-Emperor! A Slayer of Gods! Breaker of Rules! And most importantly bringer of Change."

Nel removed her hand then walked towards the Throne room while Tatsuo followed behind her, when she arrived she ignored the surprised faces of the ministers and the servants in the room as she leads Tatsuo to the window overlooking the Capital.

She looked down at the people that walked by the gates of the Palace and whenever an individual no matter age range or gender they would look up at the Palace and smile while the children would point and their parents would smile and explain.

"The Smiles on the faces of those people are genuine! So My Husband, father of My Children, I Believe that you are indeed doing what is right."

At that moment Tatsuo looked at her and smiled even if everyone else was against him as long as she had his back he felt like he could do anything.

"I Understand."

Tatsuo gave her a kiss before he turned around and walked towards the Throne, rubbing his hand on the armrests of the throne he turned around and took a seat.

"Gin!"

"Yes, Your Eminence!"

"I think we have had our fun, contact the High Ranking members of the Empire. It's almost time for Plane 17 to be Annexed. The other Gods are not going to standby as I am now Tier 17. They are most likely planning their counter-attack as we speak. If I was in their position I would be doing just that against a god that requires the power of Faith the most effective way would be to denounce them as evil and damage their following. Therefore we must act first."

"Yes, Your Eminence!"

Gin walked away to accomplish the mission Tatsuo just tasked him as Tatsuo sat on his Throne in deep thought.

'In Order to advance to Tier 18 I need to make a Realm of Divinity which is similar to creating something like my own laws of Nature. A constant that cannot be changed no matter what happens Just like how gravity is an ever-present force throughout the realms I need to leave my mark on this plane. Permanently.'
