" Shakuni, you have called us all here today to hold an ' Intellectual ' discussion about the future laws governing the universe…. What exactly do you have in mind? " Emperor Cervantez asked as he decided to cut the small-talk out and get straight to the point.
If Shakuni decided to cut-down the powers of the monarchs or pass laws favourable only to the True Elites, this would result in a tragedy for all other monarchies, including his allies the Won Knights and the Hazelgrove Empire.
Having fostered good relations for all these years, Cervantez was hoping that Rudra would not back-stab him now that he was at a higher pedestal, but he was still cautious while asking this question.
Rudra respected Cervantez, had it been anyone else who asked him this same question, he would have probably replied with satire, but he could not do that to emperor Cervantez.
" What I have in mind is simple, Emperor Cervantez.
Firstly, I want a 'Veto' over the decision of the Council Of Monarch's, although I don't need to keep a functioning council, I've decided to be gracious and let you all operate since I believe you monarchs can represent the grievances of your people the best.
You would need to rely on my discretion to not overturn the council decisions, but any resolution passed here needs to go by me before it becomes a law.
Second, I'm going to remove the universal queen's function as an ' Enforcer '.
From this day forward, there will be no system contracts and no arbitration under the queen.
Naturally to not cause discomfort I'll allow all existing system contracts to run for a maximum of 14 years after which all of them would be considered null and void.
Thirdly, I wish to change the status of the subjugated dark faction in the universe.
Those monarchs amongst you that mistreat the dark are creating a lot of trouble for yourself and you don't even realise your mistake.
I'm not a teacher, I won't sit and point out where you're going wrong, but I'm going to grant them their freedom.
They will be free to roam the universe without being bound to any regions.
They will be free to increase their strength to whatever tier they wish and they will be free to create monarch's amongst themselves.
I won't tolerate their needless suppression anymore.
Next I'm going to abolish the concept of zones within the universe.
There will be no safe-zones, no battle-zones and no wild-zones. There will only be reality and that's it.
With the abolishing of the zones, I shall also abolish the tier planets.
I understand that you bunch feel it's the best way to nurture talents, but rat race and excessive competition on these planets only results in talents losing their way rather than shining through.
It definitely has to go.
Lastly, I'm going to create ' House Rajput ' for the descendants of my father Mahesh Rajput.
The ownership of the queen will be passed linearly in my bloodline and we will act as the keepers of the universe for the foreseeable future....
Now, before this hall descends into ruckus, I understand that I've called you here for an intellectual discussion, but this monument should not turn into a fish market….. raise your hand if you wish to speak and I shall give you a chance to do so- " Rudra said as immediately about twenty thousand god's raised their hands wishing for a chance to speak their mind.
" Yes, Lord Regus Aurelius " Rudra said as he interestingly chose Regus as the first candidate to discuss business with.
" Firstly, I want to thank you for saving my life in the Dimensional Battlefield. I never got the chance to say it but I'm grateful to you…. " Regus said as Max scoffed in disbelief.
If that man really felt an ounce of gratitude he would not have blocked Rudra's re-entry into the universe.
He was a hypocrite who just wanted to curry favour with the Supreme Lord of the universe.
" What I want to ask you to reconsider however is the passing of the position of the supreme leader linearly within House Rajput.
You are a great fighter who has proved your skill time and time again.
With my pride as a warrior and a monarch, I can still accept kneeling before you for you have earnt my respect.
But I won't be able to accept that brat who hasn't even turned 20 yet or Lord forbid your brother who isn't even human as a Supreme Lord.
Please don't pass such an important position linearly as even if your family turns out to be the strongest, there will be a time when your Bloodline shall waver and someone undeserving becomes Supreme Lord " Regus said as his concerns were mirrored by almost 5000 gods who put their hands down as soon as Regus finished asking his question.
Max frowned at how Regus phrased his argument, he did not have any thirst for the position of the Supreme Lord in the first place, neither did he have any idea as to why his brother was creating house Rajput, but Regus insinuating that he wasn't worthy enough of that position was extremely insulting and made Max feel as if he definitely needed to prove him wrong.
" My Lord Regus, you make a fine argument….. Unlike your appearance, you are quite Intellectual it seems " Rudra complimented as Regus bowed a fake bow as if he were touched by Rudra's words.
" However, I must ask you if you can peer into the future? " Rudra asked as Regus was dumbfounded by this absurd question.
" I'm no prophet, Supreme Lord, so I cannot peer into the future " He replied solemnly as Rudra nodded in understanding.
" But I am Lord Regus, and my Bloodline is the best option for the salvation and evolution of this universe " Rudra said with a dangerous smile on his face as he shut Regus's question with a slam dunk.
" Next…. "Rudra said with authority as Regus could not even follow-up this statement with another question.
