OVERLORD: The Second Supreme Being

Bukana's combat strength was far inferior to that of the Divine Chant, and after just two hours, she had already fainted from exhaustion.

Meanwhile, Shalltear, who was by Peroroncino's side, kept looking at him with eager, expectant eyes.

Seeing those eyes, Peroroncino wanted to tell her that he was already exhausted, but those eyes were too dazzling, and he couldn't bring himself to say it.

In the end, Peroroncino rewarded Shalltear.

Divine Chant, watching the courageous Perorocino, widened her eyes in disbelief.

This man's endurance was incredible.

Divine Chant had heard rumors that a normal person could only last about 10 minutes, and 20 minutes was already considered exceptional. But this man completely surpassed her understanding.

Although Peroroncino's appearance fit perfectly with the image of the prince charming in Divine Chant's mind, he was just too strong for her to accept.

After finishing, Peroroncino's gaze turned toward Divine Chant.

Divine Chant trembled in fear, her body shuddering.

"He's not going to want to go again, is he?" the Divine Chant thought to herself.

Peroroncino patted Divine Chant's head and said:

"Don't worry, as my toy, no one will harm you."

Divine Chant glanced at Shalltear, who was not far away, covered in wounds and looking strange with a broken expression.

"Well, she has some... little quirks, and I was just helping her fulfill them!" Peroroncino, apart from being lecherous, was actually quite normal in other respects. Since Divine Chant was so obedient, Peroroncino was willing to satisfy some of her little requests.

Looking at Divine Chant, Peroroncino thought she looked like a frightened little bunny, which was kind of cute.

Although she looked like a little bunny, Divine Chant's presence was far from insignificant. Based on his years of experience observing fine works, Peroroncino judged that the Divine Chant was at least a D+.

"Grumble~"

Hearing the sound, Divine Chant immediately covered her face with both hands.

Her stomach growled uncontrollably.

"Are you hungry? I'll take you to eat something!"

"Shalltear, open a portal!"

Shalltear's body was still sprawled on the ground, but she raised her hand and opened a portal, leading to the maid's restaurant on the ninth floor.

This place was where the maids ate.

Peroroncino often visited here to eat, though most of the time, he had the maids bring food to him.

At this moment, it wasn't the maids' mealtime, and only a few scattered individuals were handling miscellaneous tasks.

"Lord Peroroncino!" When everyone saw him, they immediately stopped what they were doing, bowed, and greeted him.

The head chef began preparing a meal for him.

"Lady, what would you like to have?" the head chef asked.

"Anything is fine!" Divine Chant replied softly.

"Lord Peroroncino, do you have any requests?"

"A rainbow pudding!"

"A serving of spicy grilled meat."

"A serving of golden chicken wings."

"A glass of triple-flavored soda."

"That will be all!"

"Please wait a moment, it will be ready soon!"

Peroroncino wasn't very hungry; he was just craving something.

......

In the Slane Theocracy, the city defense commander, the chief secretary, several archbishops, and a group of others gathered together, all wearing troubled expressions.

The highest-ranking officials of the Theocracy had all perished, leaving over a hundred individuals, each with their own opinions. They had no idea whom to listen to.

The Sanctuary was littered with countless corpses, a clear sign that the enemies who had killed the high priests were incredibly powerful.

Now, the Theocracy was a fragmented mess.

Though some sought to step forward and take charge, opposing voices always emerged.

Arguments broke out incessantly. Too many wanted to take control, and no consensus could be reached.

Talking was easy, but acting was another matter entirely. Most of them trusted only themselves.

The Theocracy followed an elite path, and there wasn't a single fool among them. Yet the smarter they were, the less willing they were to follow someone else's lead.

Originally, the position of the high priests was unshakable, but now all the high priests were dead.

This left the upper echelons of the Theocracy unable to come to a unified decision.

At that moment, a messenger burst through the doors.

"Report! News from the border—The Empire has declared war on the Slane Theocracy!"

"What? How could this be? How dare the Empire declare war on us!"

"That bastard! They must be trying to take advantage of the chaos. And to think we once planned to have the Empire annex the Kingdom!"

"Deploy the troops! We must show the Empire our might!"

"How dare a mere vassal state of that monster nation act against us."

"This time, we'll make the Empire understand the power of humanity's strongest nation."

"An Empire defeated by a small country like the Sorcerer Kingdom must be incredibly weak—only capable of petty, underhanded tactics."

At this moment, the group surprisingly united. They all agreed to attack the Empire.

However, these people were unaware of the true strength of the Sorcerer Kingdom—knowledge that only the high priests had held.

The reason the truth wasn't shared was that revealing it would likely incite widespread panic.

Lacking proper intelligence, they assumed the Sorcerer Kingdom's king was just a novice who had only recently entered the realm of heroes—a mere weakling.

The Slane Theocracy assembled an army of 20,000 troops and grandly marched toward the border.

Meanwhile, on the Empire's side, with the Sorcerer Kingdom's support, they had no concerns about food supplies. Their army had expanded significantly, and the expeditionary force now totaled 80,000.

The Empire justified its war declaration by citing past actions of the Slane Theocracy, which had disguised their soldiers as Empire troops to attack villages in the former Kingdom, as well as villages under the Sorcerer Kingdom's control.

This had severely tarnished the Empire's reputation, prompting them to go to war.

Since Renner became Chancellor, her grip on the Empire had loosened significantly, though she maintained strict control over food supplies.

Almost all other matters were left to the Empire's self-governance.

Renner was confident that, should the Empire ever rebel against the Sorcerer Kingdom, she could instantly create a food shortage that would cripple the nation and disrupt normal life entirely.

Of course, Renner believed that day would never come.

At the moment, Renner lounged lazily at her post.

When Albedo had held this position, she bore a heavy workload, but now Renner found herself with plenty of free time.

Whenever she had downtime, she would return to the Kingdom to tease Climb.

Naturally, she maintained a safe distance from Climb.

After all, what Renner liked was merely the way Climb looked at her—with those adoring, dog-like eyes.

Renner and Climb were often seen throughout the Kingdom. The Emperor had already delegated some of his power to the second prince, and Renner had reached an understanding with the prince, gaining a fair amount of autonomy.

No longer confined to the royal palace, where she could only leave once a week, Renner now enjoyed a freer life.

She relished this way of living. After gaining power, everything had become much simpler—goals that once required careful planning and effort were now easily and effortlessly achieved.

The authority she had always desired was now within her grasp.

With just a single command, the Kingdom would fall into rebellion, and the rebel forces could easily overrun the royal capital.

The pieces she had carefully set in place were all ready. All that remained was her order.
