4 Become King in a Quick

"This is dark energy, the only energy left for this planet! I will share it with you. Be my soldiers. I will teach you how to avenge this long-held grudge against the planets that have abandoned us! Let's make the most of this dark energy for the future of us all!" Flerix exclaimed again with a stern face.

Then, suddenly, the same dark-haired man at the back of the line shouted, "Long live the new king of Planet Silverian! Without him, we would never have realized that the dark energy enveloping our planet is actually a new cosmic force! Please teach us, Your Majesty!"

The shout was then followed by several other Silverians, "Please teach us, Your Majesty!"

Also, all the Silverians called out afterward, "Teach us, Your Majesty!!!"

Amazingly, no one refused, nor did anyone even suspect the black-haired man, who turned out to be Dovrix. He had been promised a position if he succeeded in making Flerix the first king of their planet.

"Long live His Majesty the King of Silverian!" shouted Dovrix, followed by everyone else.

They then approved Flerix as the first king of Planet Silverian, cheering him on as he clapped his hands and nodded his head in praise. 

"What an idiot," Flerix muttered with a sarcastic smile.

After he finished his speech for that city, he traveled to other cities and made the same speech. No one protested his appointment as king, and that day, Flerix began showing everyone how to acquire cosmic weapons of dark energy. All Silverians, men and women, began to take turns learning more about the cosmic power of dark energy obtained illegally every day in the barren field that was now their gathering place.

"Focus on the anger and vengeance within each of you, then keep repeating the ambition to destroy another planet in your head. After that, a cosmic weapon will appear, which shall be your personal weapon forever!" exclaimed Flerix, surrounded by people from all over the city, even though his words were mere nonsense, to incite them.

Flerix was seen in a field the next day, personally training the adults to fight and defend with their cosmic weapons. Dovrix, now the king's right-hand man, was only a butler, though his appearance had changed. A long-sleeved black shirt with gray pants made from his own dark energy cosmic power.

While watching the Silverians practicing, Flerix walked around the barren field with a happy face and a sinister smile, as his mood had suddenly changed completely, then muttered in his mind, "No, no, no. If I only plan to attack Planet Palladina and its allies, then after that, what else? I... I have to make the best use of this dark energy, and I could... become the sole galactic ruler!!!"

He chuckled, then quietly said, "I must arrange another plan after taking control of the entire Planet Silverian, along with the brains of these people!"

However, Dovrix suddenly came, stood beside him, and whispered, "Your Majesty, these people need resources to survive. If you want to carry out the plan, there is no way they will starve before fighting against the Palladinas."

Flerix suddenly glared sharply. His eyeballs glanced to the right and left as if he was thinking about something, then said, "That woman said that there will always be sacrifices I must make to maintain this dark energy. Oh my, how could I forget that?"

He turned to Dovrix and said, "I will learn how to extract and steal resources from small and weaker planets first, as a resource for us, and then I will use it as a resource for Planet Silverian. Give me some time."

"Very well, Your Majesty," Dovrix replied.

That night, Flerix did not sleep at all. He could only stare at the window beside his messy room, muttering, "I plan to execute this plan quickly so that the people from other planets will have no time to protect themselves!"

He got up immediately, went to a decayed old building, and started reading many cosmic books there to find as much information as possible before actually carrying out his devious plan. Three days later, Flerix ordered some Silverians to build a palace in the middle of the barren field.

"This palace will be the icon and center of attention of Planet Silverian," he told the men, even though it would be his own.

Those Silverians who were fooled by his sweet words nodded immediately, then raised their hands, and black mist came out inside their palms. The people built a palace slowly with their own dark energy.

Flerix watched them from a distance, then muttered, " Those fools. They will grow weaker and beg me to continue giving them black pills. I'll make it, and they'll be even more dependent on me!"

In two nights, the palace was completed. Flerix began to select the people who would be the servants and bodyguards working in the palace. Also, he secretly built a secret room next to the king's special private study to recharge his own dark energy.

The Dark Chamber, a room containing two beds, was connected at the bottom by many cables connected to the core magnetic field of Planet Silverian. The magnetic field pulled dark energies from the universe into the dark planet.

Flerix also began experimenting in the palace's backyard, creating a black sphere almost as tall as the palace, with an enormous hose connected to the base of the giant black sphere, with his cosmic power.

"What is it, Your Majesty?" asked Dovrix, standing next to his king, glaring at the giant sphere.

"So, what is the name of this sphere, Your Majesty?" asked Dovrix again.

Flerix smiled and replied, "Hellox ball."

After he finished, he rested for a while with Dovrix by his side as they stood and gazed up at Planet Silverian's sky with its black clouds.

Dovrix sighed and asked again, "Your Majesty, what will you do after this? Are you going to target Senior General Xyon directly?"

Flerix firmly said, "Of course not. Let's take it slow."
