As soon as he arrived, the first thing Io looked at was not His Royal Highness, but the girl who looked exactly like him standing beside His Royal Highness.
"Yvonne!"
Io beamed as if he had seen his beloved daughter.
However, the girl whom Io called Yvonne did not move at all. She stood there like a statue, which made the joy on Io's face turn into puzzlement.
"Your Royal Highness Edmond?"
Io asked His Royal Highness in confusion.
"What's wrong with Yvonne? Why does she look so weird? "
Io's puzzled look made His Royal Highness, Edmond, show an indifferent expression.
"It's nothing. Don't mind me. I just lifted the restriction a little."
Restriction?
What does that mean?
Before Io could figure it out, or rather, before he could react, Edmond spoke in a cheerful tone.
"Your 'daughter' is really excellent, Io. To be honest, I thought your research would be useless. I didn't expect you to succeed in the end. I just came a little earlier and tested Yvonne's power. The result is unimaginable. I'm so ecstatic. You really are my lucky goddess, Io."
Edmond looked at the girl named Yvonne obsessively. He even stretched out his hand and stroked Yvonne's face. His eyes revealed an extremely strong ambition and possessiveness.
Yvonne remained motionless, enduring all of Edmond's actions like an emotionless machine.
This made the doubt in Io's heart turn into an ominous feeling.
"Yvonne? What's wrong with you? You … you still … "
Io could not help but have an ominous feeling in his heart. Just as he was about to step forward, he was stopped by General Gulettan.
"Please speak here. It's disrespectful to get too close to His Royal Highness."
General Gulettan said in an indifferent tone.
This startled Io, and at the same time, Edmond waved his hand.
"Well, General, for the sake of her bringing me such a great thing, I will allow her to come close to me. Otherwise, as the king of the world, your tolerance is too small."
Edmond's unruly words only made the ominous feeling in Io's heart grow stronger.
"The king of the world? What are you talking about … "
Before she could finish her sentence, Edmond interrupted her again.
"Before that, let me ask you a question, Io."
Edmond stared at Io. The unscrupulous look in his eyes made Io's heart tremble.
"Do you want to come with me?"
Edmond sent out an invitation.
"Together? Where are you going? "
Io replied blankly.
"Of course it's the pinnacle of the world."
Edmond said matter-of-factly.
"The … peak of the world …?"
Io didn't understand at all.
However, there was one thing that Io knew.
"His Royal Highness promised me that as long as the research of Absolute Monarchy and Infinite Chain Reaction is successful, he will use Ivan's power to stop the coming world war and not let the people shed blood and tears …"
This was the reason why Io was here.
Io had been in contact with Edmond for a long time.
Because Edmond intended to sponsor Io's research, and had claimed so.
"I don't want to see a meaningless war. In order to achieve my goal, come and help me, Io."
Edmund thus extended an olive branch to Io.
Io, on the other hand, was conquered by Edmund's dream and provided Edmund with the results of his research.
That was not just the research of Infinite Chain Reaction, but also the research of a magic circuit.
That magic circuit was none other than Absolute Royalty.
The world only knew that Io was researching Infinite Chain Reaction, but they didn't know that Io was also researching Absolute Monarchy with Edmond's funding.
Then, the results of these two things were ultimately concentrated on Ivan.
That was the automaton developed by Io, which was equipped with Absolute Royalty and Infinite Chain Reaction, and it was an existence that transcended the century.
Before, Io already said that the Infinite Chain Reaction he developed could only be applied to one kind of magic.
That magic was Absolute Monarchy.
Absolute Monarchy, which applied Infinite Chain Reaction, could be described as an extremely terrifying power. It was fully capable of realizing Io's idea, which was to prevent the outbreak of a world war. Otherwise, the people would shed blood and shed tears.
And the automaton that carried Absolute Monarchy and Infinite Chain Reaction was Ivan, whose full name was Evangeline.
Then, some time ago, Io handed Ivan over to Edmond.
But now, not only did Ivan look a little strange, even Edmond looked a little strange.
"You … What the hell are you talking about? Your Highness? "
Io asked anxiously.
Unfortunately …
"Don't let me down, Io, I have great expectations for your talent."
Edmond grinned and said something that made Io's hair stand on end.
"You don't want to be like Ivan, a puppet that can't feel anything, right?"
Io's eyes widened when he heard that.
"Your Highness …! You …!? "
Io finally realized what was happening.
Edmond said indifferently.
"It took me a lot of effort. After all, Ivan can't be analyzed by a random puppet master. If I accidentally break her, it will be a great loss. That's why I completely deleted her emotional program yesterday, and she finally became a little more obedient."
Upon hearing this, how could Io not know what had happened?
"Your Highness …" Io said with a trembling voice, "Did you deceive me?"
Edmond just sneered at Io's statement.
"How can you say that I am deceiving you? I am the king of the world! "
So Edmund laughed.
"The people will not shed blood, because they can only surrender to me."
"World war will not break out, because the great powers will not be able to resist me."
"As long as I have Ivan, as long as I have the power of Absolute Monarchy and Infinite Chain Reaction, then I can turn everyone into my power without bloodshed."
"To be able to sit in the position of the king of the world and rule the world without any effort, you really brought me a lot of good things, Io."
That was what Edmond meant when he said he didn't want to see a fearless battle.
At that moment, Io only felt that Edmond had become extremely terrifying, and her whole body was trembling.
No, the real reason that made Io tremble was that she realized what she had done.
Io, there was no doubt that she had done something wrong.
A mistake that pushed everyone into the abyss of suffering.
"Give … Ivan back to me!"
Io shouted in fear and was ready to rush in Ivan's direction.
However, almost at the same time, someone grabbed Io's shoulder.
