The war was settled, and Silva had won a victory by andslide,pletely dominating and winning in only a day, faster than he had anticipated.


    And that was because of the impatient and crazy king. Now, Silva needed to address the entire kingdom and set things into ce.


    He asked for all the ves that he rescued to be brought to the capital, and for kingdom-widemunication crystals to be mounted.


    It took a day, but everything was ready, and he was finally prepared to address the whole kingdom.


    "I don''t want to wear that," Silva, who was in his underwear, dashed out of the king''s room, which was now his own.


    Immediately, he ran out, Dawn chased after him from the room, with Lia and Roxy behind her. He had taken a bath and came out to get dressed and address the kingdom, but when he saw them inside the room, seated and waiting for him with a purple kingly robe, he panicked.


    "You don''t have a choice!" Dawn yelled. Silva didn''t care, though, as he dashed down the stairs and was about to create a portal, but another portal opened, and Elsa walked out with Lily.


    Lily and Elsa looked at Silva, then at the three chasing him and the clothes in Dawn''s hands, and they immediately knew what was going on.


    "You have to dress the part," Lily said. She used wind magic to lift Silva into the air, but Silva immediately shot out a shadow tendril andtched onto a corner. He pulled himself toward it and was about to make his getaway.


    But that was when Elsa moved. She was way faster than he expected. She reached him in an instant, grabbed his hand, and used his momentum against him.


    She spun him around and mmed him into the ground.


    "Sorry, Daddy, but I want to see you in the clothes," she said.


    "Not happening," Silva said. He spawned a clone, and the clone lifted Elsa off him and held her back. Silva continued running, thinking he had gotten away. He tried to take some clothes out of his ring to wear, but suddenly he couldn''t move.


    "What the hell?" Silva asked.


    "It''s called blood control. With your strength, I can hold you at best for twenty seconds, but that''s more than enough."


    Drake appeared in front of Silva. The twenty seconds bought enough time for the others to catch up, but before they could reach him, Silva still broke out.


    "Fine, fine, I''ll wear it," Silva said. He looked at Drake. "But tell me how that blood control worked," Silva asked.


    "Well, when the youngdy Elsa leaped on you, she managed to use her fingers to draw some blood. But because of your healing, you didn''t notice a wound.


    And so she passed the blood to me, and with that, I was able to initiate the move," Drake exined.


    "Alright, that makes sense. See you allter," Silva said, still nning on running despite his words. But all of them immediately got ready to attack if he moved.


    Silva knew he could tank their attack, but it wasn''t worth the pain. So he gave in and dressed in the clothes they picked.


    It was a fitting ck inner shirt and pants, with a purple robe to cover.


    When he was fully dressed, he headed to the throne room, where the mini transmission crystal was set up. He walked up to it, and the crystal activated.


    All over the kingdom at that time, holograms of Silva were projected by the crystals for all to see.


    "Good day to you all—humans, beasts, beastmen, and all other races. My name is Silva, a demon king candidate, and as of today, your ruler.


    Before I move on further, I dere today that the name of Gnos Kingdom will be the Kingdom of the Dark Dragon, and I will be its first king.


    This kingdom will follow the rules set by me, and everyone can live in this kingdom regardless of race. I know many humans hate me for taking over their home and nowing to rule them.


    But honestly, I don''t care what you think for now. It is totally normal for you all to hate me and want to kill me.


    But I beg that you refrain from such acts, or even being an aplice to such, because you will be killed.


    I n to build this kingdom into the most advanced and captivating ce where everyone can benefit, and everyone can live to their fill.


    But for those of you humans who feel beasts are for the demons, and humans are heroes, to those of you that will hate other races irrationally due to a stigma that has refused to die for many years:


    Better get control of yourself because you will all be living together now.


    The kingdom will be shut off from the world, and if you want to leave, please do. Leave us and go to the human side. But if any of you choose to stay, you better be cautious.


    If you try to sell us out, you will be executed. To all of you, join me in making Dark Dragon into the greatest kingdom," Silva said. He turned around and whispered into Drake''s ear.


    "You know what to do. Kill everyone that chooses to leave this kingdom—child, adult, old, and young, female and male. Kill them and let Lily handle the bodies."


    After he finished telling Drake, he walked away from the crystal. The announcement of a new king and a change of governance caused widespread panic, and a whopping eighty percent of humans started moving.


    And that eighty percent were hunted down, one by one, and when night fell, all had been killed. The roads and the forest were covered in blood, and that day would be recorded as the purge.


    As for those who stayed, they were the poor and sick, the ones who had nothing in this life, and those were the ones Silva actually wanted to stay.


    He would help their shattered lives and make them see him as their savior.
