"—As I've said, I have no interest in world domination; my aim has always been, and will continue to be, the destruction of this world." Arthur voiced his thoughts, while he is not someone who enjoys the suffering of millions and does not consider such a mindless genocide as a token of bravery.
When one think about it, bravery is something which is related to a warrior and a true warrior is someone who confront evil that person refuse to accept. Arthur is not a warrior; he is the evil that a warrior confronts.
Hearing what Arthur said, all the guardians were silent and recalled what Antares had once told them.
—Out of all the titles the Ancient One possesses, one of them defines his personality quite well and was given to him by Lord Touch Me—Madman.
"My Lord, This may sound disrespectful, but I can't help but ask, Why do you need to destroy this world? Isn't it better to just rule over it than burn it to ashes?" Esdeath asked, not because she cared about the well-being of the new world's citizens; rather, she couldn't come to a conclusion regarding Arthur's statement.
World Destruction: A word that is quite easy to pronounce but hard to achieve. If one were to ask whether world domination or world destruction is harder to achieve, the answer would be both are difficult to attain.
To conquer the world, one needs to possess knowledge about both enemies and allies. They should have the charisma of a king and be capable of creating laws that can maintain order. To dominate the world, one must be strong and intelligent; otherwise, they will become a pile of ashes before they can even wear a crown.
To destroy the world, one must possess tremendous strength that can rival any opponent.
So if one considers both to be the same difficulty, even so, world destruction is a bit more annoying than world domination because of sheer number of enemies Arthur need to fight; literally every single living being in the world will become a Nazarick enemy.
Even so, Arthur still needs to go through it because his ultimate goal is not this world. For that, he will go to any lengths to achieve his goal. Google seaʀᴄh 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝·𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖·𝕟𝕖𝕥
Another reason is that, if Arthur, by any chance, stays in this world, he will have to face players from Yggdrasil every two hundred years. Instead of facing them, he would rather destroy the world and go to another world.
But it's not like he can tell the Gurdians that he needs to destroy the world because of his dream to open a harem. So he needs to come up with an excuse that will gain the guardian's approval without making him look like a fool.
"Objectively speaking, what you said is indeed something to consider; however, if we were to do that, we would then be fighting the players from YGGDRASIL at random intervals, which I cannot allow. It's better to just destroy the current world and build a new one from the ashes." Arthur's words caused guardians to think deeply.
To think I can talk about genocide without feeling anything; seems like my demonic characters have started to merge with my personality. I need to look out for this otherwise who knows when I am going to do something irreversible. Arthur thought.
"Ancient-sama, may I ask you a question? How can you speak with such conviction that players from YGGDRASIL will arrive here? We currently have no proof of this; we could be the last ones to arrive here." Aurora asked, While she is the Overseer of the Co-Guardians, her karma value points slightly towards the positive value, meaning she would not agree with the idea of mass murder without a cause.
But Arthur didn't mind her as he continued to spoke.
"Yes, there is no well-defined proof that players will come after us. But that doesn't mean there is no possibility of that happening. The moment we transferred into this world, I sensed something like a summoning circle, even though I didn't know what it was used for, but I could say without hesitation that the summoning circle was a world-class item."
"World Class items!!!" All the Guardians exclaimed.
"Now I understand why, my Lord, you took the Avatar of a mage. To think you started making plans just after your arrival, I am in awe of your intellect." Demiurge said, the reason Demiurge knows about Arthur's different forms is because Arthur added some lines about being able to take different forms in his and all other NPC's character council.
"Yes, Demiurge. That's the reason why I had to take this form." Not because I wanted to fuck.
"Now then, we have made our move; we just need to wait until the fish bite the bait."
Arthur took a deep breath. Just as he was about to speak, a voice interrupted from beside him.
"Ancient-sama, I have a question. If you're going to destroy the world, then why did you have to give the human princess a position as a collaborator? Couldn't we have just conquered the kingdom by force? Or better, we can just turn the kingdom into a pile of rubble."
Arthur's palm started to sweat in response to Shalltear's question.
The first step of their overall goal of world destruction was to apply pressure to both the Slan Theocracy and the Greed Empire. They would allow the Empire's high command to launch an attack on Nazarick and use that to cause to counter attack the Empire and Theocracy. Then, they would impress the overwhelming military might of Nazarick upon them. Thus officially beginning the war.
Arthur knew nothing else. The exact importance of why they had to impress Nazarick's power on the Six Great Gods and Eight Greed Kings such fine details were a mystery to him.
The only reason he could come up with was to act cool in front of them.
Because of that, he had no idea how to properly answer Shalltear's question.
Aura continued after her.
"Shalltear's got a point."
Arthur glanced at the other Guardians. They all seemed to have the same doubts.
