Blooming Throne of the Forgotten King

The forest knelt before him.

Every blade of corrupted grass, every twisted vine, every tree with hollow eyes and bleeding bark—they bowed, trembling in eerie reverence. The once-pure spirit of Verdantia had been consumed, reshaped, and molded into something far darker... and far more beautiful.

And at its center sat Priyanshu Yadav, no longer a visitor in this land of rot and bloom—he was now its king.

A throne of roots and obsidian petals rose from the earth beneath him, wrapping around his body like loyal servants. The vines curled gently around his arms, resting on his shoulders like a crown. It was alive… and it loved him.

The Hidden Villain System pulsed again.

A slow, amused laugh escaped his lips.

"Let them notice."

At his feet, Zephyra knelt again. Her breath was shaky, her lips stained with the blood of those who tried to resist his rise. She trembled—not from fear, but awe.

"My King… the Archbishop has been captured. He's screaming scriptures. Begging his god to answer. No one's coming."

Priyanshu leaned back, resting his chin against the thorned armrest of his throne. "Of course they're not. Because in Verdantia, I am the god now."

He waved his hand lazily, and in the distance, the ground split open.

A massive, pulsing flower bloomed, glowing with black light. From its center, tendrils shot out, wrapping around the struggling Archbishop who had been brought forward by shadowy creatures. His mouth was gagged, his eyes wide in disbelief.

He tried to pray.He tried to resist.But the corrupted essence of the land had already begun to swallow him.

"You spent decades condemning people like me," Priyanshu said softly, stepping down from his throne and approaching. "But you forgot something very important…"

He cupped the Archbishop's face, his fingers glowing with seductive violet light.

"…No god saves you from yourself."

With a thought, the tendrils dragged the Archbishop into the heart of the flower. His screams echoed across the forest, fading into moans… then silence… then bliss.

Priyanshu turned slowly, his eyes scanning the corrupted land.

He whispered to the wind, "Now… let the world remember me—not as the villain in shadows, but the god who rose from rot."

The winds carried his voice far and wide.

And the world began to listen.
