My Beautiful Disciples, I'm really not the Main Character! - Chapter 641

Chapter 641: Chapter 641: The past
Yelen took a deep breath, the sound echoing slightly in Eren’s mind. “Five years is a long time. So much has happened that I don’t even know where to start. It would’ve been better if you were here to see for yourself.”

Her voice regained some strength, as she continued, “The Holy Empire… your clone, he did exceptionally well initially. With the Necromancer Tower gone, the Empire expanded its influence rapidly.”

“He eradicated all those that could threaten the Empire in the Western Continent and consolidated his power. He even won over the remnants of the Royal Family, including the brother of the real Holy Emperor who was assigned the position of the Grand General of the Holy Empire.”

“So far, that’s good. If I was in his place, I would have done the same thing. The Holy Emperor’s brother was a really important character in the novel of the Western Continent.”

“Even if he isn’t as good as the Main Characters, he was still a talented side character that had the potential to rise.”

Eren nodded in satisfaction. So far, everything was normal. If the Holy Empire could be stabilized, it was a good thing as it would make the other two forces hesitate in attacking them.

There was only one problem which he could predict even without Yelen telling him. The Holy Emperor was his clone. He was certainly close to the Demon Sect, thanks to Xiu Ying and the others that he left behind in the Holy Empire.

It was fine as long as there were four forces to keep each other at bay. But if one of those four forces was to be taken out, it became a situation which was a lot more complicated.

In the eyes of the hero academy, the Great Demon Sect was close to the Holy Empire. They would have to be foolish to not worry about it.

“If I was in their place, I would have worried about the Holy Empire and the Demon Sect joining forces against me,” Eren’s frown deepened.

It was the worst time for the Holy Empire since it was just recovering from the war with the Northern Continent. He doesn’t think that the Academy would just wait and watch the Empire recover.

“Still, they shouldn’t be able to do much. With the backing of the Demon Sect, the Empire should’ve been able to buy more time to recover and grow. Right?” he asked Yelen.

Even though he wasn’t in that world, he was able to visualize how things could have progressed as he had good knowledge of all sides. There was only one thing that he couldn’t predict, which was the movement of the Main Character.

Yelen agreed with Eren, even as she was surprised that Eren was able to predict that much with such ease.

“That’s right. Even though it wasn’t spoken out loud, the Demon Sect had been quite friendly with the Holy Empire thanks to the links you left behind. But the problem was also something that you left behind…” Yelen sounded like she was blaming Eren, which left him a little confused.

“What do you mean? What did I leave behind?’

“You remember the girl that you saved from the Holy Priestess?”

“That girl… Don’t tell me!” Eren’s expressions darkened as the realization set in. He thought that there were two main characters running free but he forgot about one that he himself had saved.

In the Western Continent, the evil Holy Priestess was a fake. And the main character was a girl that was supposed to overthrow her and bring the Holy Empire back to light.

He had saved the girl from the false holy Priestess, and wanted to use her against the Holy Empire. His plans diverged a little, because of the Dragon Empress and his new bloodline.

Things became even more complicated when he took over the position of the Holy Emperor from another Transmigrator. From that point onwards, he didn’t have any use left for the real Holy Priestess.

He was so distracted in dealing with the false Holy Priestess as the Holy Emperor that he didn’t have time to consider the true holy Priestess. Then came the whole mess with the Necromancer Tower, and he ended up in hell.

“What did she do?” he asked, almost feeling like slapping himself for forgetting such things. Even though he was fighting for his life, it wasn’t an excuse for him to make such mistakes in his plans.

“That girl started a resistance against the Holy Emperor, saying that he was an evil man who was controlled by the devil. She started fighting for the re-establishment of the Holy Church and the Empire to return to orthodoxy.

The resistance also grew stronger, and within the first year itself, there were many uprisings.

“I thought the Main Character would become useless after I killed the villain in that story. I didn’t expect the story to replace me with the villain, while keeping her arc intact.” Eren’s knuckles whitened as he gripped the balcony railing

The resistance was supposed to rise against the Holy Priestess. The Holy Emperor’s brother and many other heroes were supposed to rise up in her support, and write epic tales of their resistance in the great battles.

Unfortunately, he had become a target of that resistance. He thought that the biggest worry for the holy empire was supposed to be the Hero Academy, but the problem rose up from within.

“The Empire had already suffered a lot of losses in the war against the Northern Continent. They also had to assign a lot of guards in the Northern Continent to maintain the stability of the conquered Territory, which-”

“…which left many gaps in the Empire for that girl to take advantage of.” Eren completed Yelen’s sentence. Even though it was logical, he couldn’t hide his frustration.

If he was there, he would’ve been able to suppress that resistance with brute force. But the person in charge was none other than his clone, which didn’t have much power.

Even the power of faith that the Holy Emperor was supposed to possess, mainly belonged to him and not his clone.

His clone wasn’t strong enough. In his absence, they had to protect the clone a lot as it would disappear if it was hurt to a certain extent.

That’s why, he had advised them to give an excuse that his clone was injured while fighting the Necromancer Tower Master in which the Tower Master was killed by him.

It was an excuse made without considering the fact that an uprising was being planned by the Holy Priestess.

That excuse ended up giving the Holy Priestess even more confidence that it was the right time, and they had to win before the Holy Emperor could recover.

“You didn’t ask the Demon Sect for help?” he asked. “How foolish of me. The Demon Sect won’t be able to help. They probably had to keep the Hero Academy at bay. They couldn’t leave their own Defences in such instability, especially since it was an internal uprising.”

“That is correct. Xiu Ying and a few other great elders tried to help, but the resistance was spread out, making it impossible to suppress them at once. Moreover, there is also a strange man who is part of the resistance.”

“What strange man?”

“It’s a crazy man, who becomes stronger every time he is killed by an enemy. Even I don’t know how it’s possible. He is the biggest ace of the resistance. Oh, and the girl that you upset in the Necromancer Tower was also seen with him.”

“That girl is still alive?” Eren exclaimed. He remembered the arrogant girl, who had temporarily become his Senior Sister when he took the Left Guardian of Necromancer Tower as his master.

If the girl was with that man, and considering his abilities, it meant that the man might have come from the Northern Continent, where the last main character was supposed to be present.

“A man who can grow stronger every time he is killed by an enemy? What kind of cheat ability is this? How can anyone defeat him?” he mumbled.

This was the worst kind of enemy to deal with, as there was no end to that person. Killing him only made him stronger.

“The only solution is to suppress him without killing him. Did you not try that?”

“Your wife tried that. But the man has some treasure which helps him teleport away every time there is something that could suppress him. It’s because of the Priestess and that man, the Holy Empire had lost seventy percent of its territory in the last five years.”

The continent has basically split in two forces, and the Holy Empire isn’t the strongest here anymore. The territory of the Holy Empire keeps shrinking with each passing month.

“That’s just the change which happened in the Western Continent. I haven’t even talked about the other two continents yet.”

“Don’t tell me something bad has happened to the Demon Sect as well?”
