The World-Destroying Empress? I'm Just Pretending

"Your Majesty, people tend to prefer the middle ground. They'd never willingly be conquered and have their country destroyed."

"But if you say the world is about to end, they'll rush to negotiate and compromise, even agreeing to become a province of the empire."

"Oh, that does make some sense." Li Qingzhi nodded thoughtfully.

"All right, then. We'll spread the word that 'the end times are nigh,' just like you suggested."

"But make sure you clarify that I'm really not the so-called Chosen of Chaos you keep talking about." Li Qingzhi added earnestly.

The Chaos worshippers below twitched their lips as they looked at Li Qingzhi seated on the blood-soaked throne.

Boundless black and crimson spiritual light swirled around her, while rifts in the subspace opened and closed behind her like eyes.

"Indeed, you are not the Chosen of Chaos..."

"You are... a new ascendant."
