The narrative pivots from the rebellion's desperate scramble to the chilling sanctum of their enemy, revealing the immediate and terrifying consequences of Ernon's capture. The emperor, previously depicted as a decrepit ruler, has undergone a shocking transformation. Fueled by the absorbed mana of countless victims, he now appears unnervingly youthful and powerful, a physical manifestation of his stolen vitality that has left readers both repulsed and captivated by his newfound "hot" villain status. Standing bare-chested and revitalized, he gloats over a helpless Ernon, confirming his ultimate goal: to harvest the mentor's immense magic not for an army, but to power an ancient weapon and achieve personal godhood. Ernon, lured into the trap by his devotion to Kasia, is now poised to become the final power source for the very evil he fought to destroy, placing the emperor on the precipice of absolute victory.
