The words of the Emperor were absolute, so Kuzon had enough confidence in his declaration.

His confidence was however in contrast with the look on his interlocutor's face.

Kido's eyes bulged, but he couldn't say anything. His face twisted with anger, but then turned into something else. Something akin to a plea to speak.

"I won't ask for your final words. Why? I frankly don't care."

Kuzon was out of time, and he knew it. Besides, why would he ruin this beautiful moment of transient peace by allowing his madman of an uncle to speak?

"I guess I'll be seeing you on the other side..." Kuzon touched Kido's head, feeling his rough hair while taking in every sensation.

Having his victory being achieved and the object of his hate at his mercy like this... there was no better feeling.

"... Goodbye, sperm donor."

Kido's eyes widened in shock, but it was only met by Kuzon's knowing smile.

It seemed the boy knew everything!

He had wanted to use it as his final trump card—his plea for his nephew to see reason—but he never imagined that Kuzon knew everything.

'When? How? Since when?!' Kido was in a state of confusion.

How could Kuzon have discovered that he was his biological son?

'A-ah...!' It really was no use.

Even though he wanted so badly to escape, there really was no other alternative.

Kuzon knew about their ties, yet he didn't even hesitate or waver in his mission to kill him. That depicted just how determined the Midas boy was.

'Shit... why did I hesitate too?'

Kido felt his consciousness fade away as his body became overwhelmed by Kuzon's golden touch.

It really was the end.

In his last moments, Kido wondered what all his years had been for.

He had wanted the throne, so he decided to switch his own child in place of his brother's offspring, and every other incubated child in the Integration Room.

With only his child surviving as the Emperor's own, Kido knew he now had a stake in the Midas Empire's future.

He destroyed everything and collected the Arcanas in order to recreate the Midas Empire with him as the loved Emperor and his sister-in-law as his wife.

To satisfy his lust for power and goals, he committed many atrocities.

All that, and the pursuit of his pure desire to have whatever he wished for... they were all rendered null and void at this moment.

Right. He was dead, after all.

~Congratulations, Kuzon. You won.~ Xenia's voice greeted him as she emerged from within him.

Her fiery form, coupled with the blue and golden hue that danced around her body, made her look as celestial as ever.

"Thanks, Xenia. Kido's Familiar should be free now, so both of you should leave this place. I'm about to destroy everything."

~Destroy...?~

"Well, more like petrify. If I activate a function of the Bracelet Of Transfiguration, it'll spiral out of control and petrify everything around it. I plan on using it to destroy this body completely."

That way, not only will it be impossible to revive Kido through his Soul—which is already extinguished—but his body will also be inaccessible.

~Why did you lie, though? You obviously destroyed Kido's Soul, so why did you say you would see him later on?~

"Sounds about fair since he also lied about his identity as my uncle to everyone. My parents weren't stupid. They knew everything. It's unfortunate they didn't see him for the man he was."

~So, if both of us leave... you'll also die here? Inside Kido's body?~

"Yeah. I have to be the one to activate the sequence. That also means I have to be overwhelmed by the petrification. It's a suicide move."

~Ah, I see...~

Kuzon nodded gently, smiling at his pretty Phoenix Familiar. Her form was beautiful, and she had supported him all his life—ever since he lost everyone else.

"This is goodbye, Xenia."

She moved closer to him, and they embraced. It lasted for a moment, but Kuzon could feel their hearts connecting.

Once more, tears welled up in his eyes. The golden tears dropped into the blank space, and they were lost in oblivion.

~I'll miss you, Kuzon.~

"Of course. I would have said the same, but... haha!"

Tears fell from Xenia's eyes as she looked at the young boy with compassion.

~You did a good job, Kuzon. You did as you wanted, and you lived your life according to your principles. I'm sure your parents would be proud.~

"Proud I'm dying before I turn sixteen?"

~Proud you lived YOUR life.~

Xenia knew Kuzon could have had a lot more out of life.

He made friends, but he could have made much more.

He had a girl he liked, but they could have gotten together.

He had reached a transcendental peak of power, but he had so much more potential left.

STILL...!!!

"Thank you, Kuzon, for showing me the most amazing time." She finally opened her mouth to speak, giving Kuzon a peck on the cheek.

Her loving smile and gentle nod melted the boy's heart, and he felt a burst of joy emerge from him.

"You too, Xenia. Farewell!"

Kuzon utilized his authority to eject Xenia and Kido's familiar out of the Realm Of The King, which had become his domain.

Once he did that, the young Midas was left all alone.

He was practically gasping for air at this point. With his entire body frozen solid—covered in gold—the only thing keeping him conscious was his will.

'Ana... I'm sorry, but this is the end.' His almost solid face smiled.

He thought about how it felt to lift her up into the air. How she would screech and bellow in disagreement. He would have laughed if he could, considering how cute she had been.

Plus, her intelligence was incredible! He truly wished he could see how far she could go.

'Jared, it looks like I'll never get to see you surprise me again.'

That blond human that defied magic by using logic—Kuzon admired him a great deal. Even though he never came around to really saying it, he felt he and Jared shared a connection that made them good friends.

'Neron... I would have really liked to see the depths of your power.'

The man in question was one who would have been qualified to use Aether, yet Kuzon had never seen him utilize it.

'Everyone... this is the end for me.'

He had played his part. Defeating the 2nd Seat wasn't an easy feat, after all.

At this point, Kuzon could hardly even think anymore, but he had one prevalent idea that kept echoing in his mind.

'I had fun, you guys.'

And then... with this last thought of his marking the end of his life, the Bracelet Of Transfiguration enveloped everything in gold.

It was indeed a fitting burial for an Emperor—one of Kuzon's caliber.
