" Breaking News! We’re getting so shocking information from the Capital City!"
It was afternoon. The sun was shining brightly, giving warmth to most of the city of Elisium. It seed like any other ordinary day, except that it wasn’t.
All the news channels were covering the sa story. It was about the Capital City— the takeover of Capital City.
After everything was over, Drak had turned the systems back on, bringing the city back on the grid.
He and Vega also used this opportunity to get this information to all news channels, telling them what had happened.
What they told was their version of the story though. As they were victors and controlled everything, they could just say what they wanted. And they did just that.
"According to our sources in the city, APF had attacked the Capital with the help of their mbers, intending to overthrow the governnt! And shockingly, it was the Uprising that ca to help!" One of the news anchors in a prominent news channel declared.
"The President will soon do a press conference to address the situation. Until then, let’s go to our experts and hear what they have to say about the situation."
....
"Is everything ready?"
In an official-looking room, Caen was sitting behind a table. Many caras were facing him. He didn’t look like his old self though. At the mont, he was looking like Quan.
The Uprising was planning to broadcast sothing to the entire country.
"Alright. We will start in five seconds. Vega has set a direct connection to all news channels. Don’t ss up," Kellian reminded Caen.
"Three..."
"Two..."
"One..."
"You’re on!"
The broadcast began, which was being watched by most of the nation. Even the ones that weren’t at ho had found places to watch the broadcast since it was an ergency.
Even Warlock King Salazar was sitting in his hotel room, watching the broadcast, looking confused.
Sothing didn’t seem right.
"Greetings, my dear citizens of Elisium. Today, I co before you with a heavy heart to inform you about sothing tragic that took place just now," Caen solemnly said, disguised as Quan.
"At around six in the morning, APF helicopters entered the Capital City with the excuse to talk to us about the destruction of Kensington. The group was led by Varant himself," he further said, mostly looking down.
" Since we trusted them, we let them enter. It was only then that we realized what grave mistake we had committed. APF attacked the Hunter Union headquarters, taking out our defenders before attacking us."
"I personally asked Varant why he was doing it. I still can’t believe his answers. I even wondered if all of this is a dream, but sadly it’s the reality."
"Varant claid that he was tired of pretending to be good, and he wanted to rule the country now. He claid he wanted all the power, even if it ant destroying an entire city like he had destroyed Kensington!" Caen declared.
As he ntioned it, there were many gasps all around the country. Varant had destroyed Kensington?
"I’m sure you understand it by now. And you’re shocked as well."
"My reaction was the sa when I found out that it wasn’t Uprising that destroyed Kensington, but APF mbers disguising themselves as Uprising mbers."
"It was all done so they could have an excuse to enter the capital city with their full force. We trusted them. It’s clear now that most of what they said was a lie!"
"They weren’t protectors but criminals who wore the garb of protectors. They killed almost all Hunter Union mbers that were present in the city. It seed like a lost battle, and I felt like I was going to die when a real protector ca to save us!"
Caen raised his head as he looked in a particular direction.
"Sir, please co," Caen said, calling soone.
A person stepped forward who was a silver-haired young man who looked to be barely eighteen.
"He is the person who saved us! And he is also the one who suffered the most in his life from the lies of APF. He is Lucifer Azarel, the son of Zale Azarel!"
"He and the Uprising mbers saved us from this huge ss, saving millions of lives!"
"I would humbly like to thank you for saving our lives and for showing us the true side of APF! And I would like to formally apologize for misunderstanding you and the Uprising!" Caen respectfully bowed to Lucifer.
" Dear citizens of Elisium, this is Lucifer Azarel! The person who saved this great country just like his father did at one ti!"
Lucifer sat near Caen on the chair, playing along.
"Varant is dead! That vile man was killed by Lucifer. Even though we passed these tough tis, this made realize sothing!"
"We can’t keep going like this. Today it was Varant; tomorrow, it might be soone else. As a human, I’m not strong enough to protect this great nation. I think it needs a strong leader!"
Everyone present in this room was smiling at this sham, but the public didn’t know.
"That’s why I have decided to give up on my leadership position! I formally declare that Lucifer Azarel is the new leader of the Great Nation of Elisium!"
"Even though he’s young, he certainly has what it takes to protect this great nation. He has a great vision like his father had, and he has the strength to protect this great nation from any problems in the future!"
"Also, I have one more bad news for you all. The Hunter Union is gone now. Zeiss has died inside a Dungeon, probably because of so trick that APF pulled. And the Hunter Union mbers are also dead."
"But this won’t affect our ability to protect this city from the Dungeon Dwellers! The Hunter Guilds are still active! And they’ll all keep working to keep you safe. The only difference will be that they will be under the Uprising leadership now. I’m rging the two organizations!"
Caen pretended to be the president to make many big changes, each of which was shocking enough on its own.
He handed the command of this Nation to Lucifer. He handed all the Guilds to the Uprising. It was because Guilds were essential to keep the dungeons in control.
Everything was under the control of Lucifer now, and it was done legally. At least partially legal.
And thus, the takeover of the nation of Elisium finished.
Lucifer was given the control of Elisium, making him the Ruler of Elisium. Whatever he wanted was going to happen in this nation.
He was the youngest ruler of a nation, but for now, he still wasn’t finished.
