Three characteristics define a true emperor:
- Innate strength, ability, and skill that far outweighs the competition.
- Congenital intelligence, knowledge, and experience on par with the ocean, capable of turning the tides of even the most unfavorable situation.
- An army composed of the most elite of the elite soldiers.
Kaze only had experience and his inherent intelligence to support him, and he was well aware of this. As a result, he would work nonstop to improve with each passing moment, reaching and crossing his physical limits, and better he would become.
But what he didn't realize was that having even two qualities of an emperor, honed over thousands of years at the tender age of 12, was impractical. This was unprecedented, and Kaze was on his way to changing people's perceptions of what was impossible....

Despite the fact that his health was rapidly dwindling, Kaze was unconcerned because the teleportation gate was now within his sight.
He only had one attribute and skill point left, so he decided to save it for now and use it when the situation arose.
As a result, he dashed towards the encampment, stopping in front of two massive wooden gates.
They were guarded by two soldiers who appeared to be far more powerful than Kaze. While walking towards the gate, he tried to gauge their strength.
He hadn't expected much, but he was pleasantly surprised by the skill's ability...

Although his expressions were as cold and emotionless as ever as he approached the gates, Kaze was left gasping in his thoughts.
He wondered where he stood if two foot soldiers were more than 20 levels above him. But this only strengthened his resolve to become stronger.
His determination to grow more powerful was burning on full flame right now, as he neared the gates.
When the guards saw another regular student enter, they opened the gates, and Kaze walked in, but instead of seeing the same noisy scene, full of clamorous clattering of people everywhere like it was some fishmarket, the scene had completely changed from when he arrived first.
The number of soldiers guarding the area had skyrocketed, and the tents were being packed up as if everyone was fleeing in an emergency...
Many people had crowded towards the teleportation gates and were waiting for the gates to activate so the next group of people could enter the gates exiting Goliath.
Kaze, not wanting to waste even a second more, rushed towards the teleportation gates where a couple of hundred guards stood watch and more coming through.
There were 2 large gates opened up, instead of the single small gate he had entered through when he first came to Goliath.
The Avalor academy students and teachers, as well as some regular merchants and citizens who had come for business, were exiting from one of these gates, while a never-ending stream of soldiers, both swordsmen, tanks, and mages, with the majority of them wearing two buttons on their uniforms, were marching into Goliath in a very disciplined march compared to the crowding on the other gate.
The higher the number of buttons on their blazers, the higher their rank. Each unit of 50 or so soldiers were being led by a squad captain who were all rank 3 (three buttons) and every 10 of such units by a rank 4 elite.
The whole platoon was being led by a man in his early thirties and whose one look was enough to intimidate anyone present there. He was of the general-rank. (rank 5)
In the midst of the rush, Kaze noticed the general and saw an excellent opportunity to inspect him...

This was too much, even if more beasts had entered the territory, a couple of low-ranking guards would have sufficed. They appeared to be preparing for a war in this situation.
He didn't want to lose any more hp or his situation may become precarious if he encountered some unexpected fight and hence he dashed towards the gate.
The guards sighting another student, didn't think much, afterall thousands of students were hurrying through.
But, in the midst of all the chaos, Kaze's green eyes met the general's. It wasn't much, just a brief exchange of glances before a flash of blue light flashed through the giant oval-shaped hollow gate, and Kaze stepped through, leaving Goliath behind.
On the other hand, the general was trembling, 'this feeling,' he reasoned...
He was a general, and he was confident in his strength, but he felt like he wasn't even an insect in front of those green eyes.
Perhaps for the first time in his life, he felt fear. He was one of the few elites who could withstand the King's aura while being promoted to the rank of general.
In the entire kingdom of billions of people, there were only about a thousand generals, and he was one of them.
Robert had put in a lot of effort to get to where he was now. He was a devout knight and a honorable man. Many people disliked him because he was a commoner in such a powerful position, but he never let that stop him.
He was a strong man who had never been afraid of anything in his life, but those small eyes were terrifying him.
They were both innocent and monstrous at the same time. With a single glance, they could bring down his entire kingdom. He cursed himself for not catching a glimpse of the face of the owner of those eyes in his terror.
He dashed towards the teleportation gates. Although he was a commoner who many nobles despised, he was a role-model to many other commoners aspiring to become knights, thus he had many loyal subordinates who looked up to him.
But it was the first time they'd seen their general look so surprised. They quickly closed in on him and cleared the way. They knew it couldn't be a minor issue if their general looked so flabbergasted.
"General, is everything alright?" inquired one of his most loyal retainers, who was genuinely concerned.
Robert, realizing his soldiers getting worried by his sudden change in behavior replied, "A great being just passed through us". This was the only conclusion he could make.
But this was no small matter; a huge commotion erupted among all of the soldiers present.
There were only five known great beings in the entire world, one of whom was the protector of their kingdom.
Great beings were people of the highest order and not even kings could defy their commands. They were the strongest people out there who were on the path of attaining immortality, they were 'Demi-Gods', and their general just said that one of those mightiest existences passed through them.
This was by no way a small matter, and it had to be urgently reported back to the King as soon as possible.
This only served to confirm their suspicions that the case they were sent to look into was extremely important.
Yes, they were dispatched to discover the cause of the phenomenon, now known as the "World Quiver," which shook the entire universe and sent shockwaves all over the place.
They were on the lookout for Kaze.
Isn't it simple?
Isn't it self-evident that a small slave bullied magicless powerless schoolboy was the root of the problem? Well, Someone was bound to lose their job. ;-)

(Current Location -
Place: South Goliath
Time: Present)
Tens of large teleportation gates appeared in the sky, slicing through the atmosphere, and huge spaceships the size of a building emerged from them.
Hundreds, if not thousands, of such spaceships emerged, the largest of which was a colossal spaceship the size of a football stadium.
The spaceships continued to arrive in a never-ending stream, with the command ship landing near a cavern. A kilometer above ground, the spaceship's gate opened, forming stairs to descend.
Mark Talen, the previous captain of squad 5 of the beta squadron, was the first to emerge, followed by hundreds of soldiers and many more from the other spaceships.
Light mages came out in hundreds, when even finding one was rare. Other soldiers were commanded by their own squad captains to secure the perimeter while Mark led the charge to the cavern.
Out of the cavern emerged a young girl, around 13 years old, with long dark-black hair and hazel-brown eyes. Her location had been shared using the bracelet on her wrist.
The tens of thousands of soldiers who had landed from the ships all bowed down on their knees in reverence as soon as she emerged.
With her still-developing body, she was a flaming beauty beyond words, but none of the soldiers eyed her. They all regarded her as priceless, and she was the star of everyone's eyes.
They were all compelled to protect her, not by force or command, but by their own free will. Every single person in the empire adored her.
She waved her hand, a signal to get up and Mark spoke first, "I have failed in my duty, even death is not enough of a punishment for the blunder I have made. I know it might be shameful of me but I still dare to ask, Are you alright Crown Princess of the Empire of Frost, 'Princess Luna Ann Polaris'.
