That night, Kaito and Sephie shared a large room and slept.
After waking up and having breakfast, many people came to help Kaito with his attire and grooming.
Kaito was very satisfied with the king's robe he had made himself, so he didn't need to change clothes. Since he was as handsome as the readers, he certainly didn't need makeup.
Just a simple hair styling, and after an early breakfast, Kaito waited for the coronation.
10 AM sharp.
Video feeds began broadcasting on planets across the universe.
As the honor guard played magnificent music, Kaito walked out of the main hall.
At that moment, the world was watching.
Kaito walked imposingly down the red carpet, ascended the altar, met Sephie, and took her hand. Then, from the altar table, he picked up a magnificent crystal scepter.
He raised it high, announcing to the entire universe.
He, Kaito!
Is your new Emperor!!
And also the Overlord of this Universe!!!
To his enemies, they could test his strength if they wished.
But now, since someone wanted to disrupt the peace of the universe, he announced to all—
War, has begun!!!
Countless fireworks exploded in the sky, followed by aircraft carriers floating in space firing their cannons in celebration and declaration of war.
After the coronation ceremony, everyone returned to the palace hall.
On the throne, Kaito sat with a domineering air, holding the scepter, looking down upon the rows of ministers, nobles, and generals.
Beside him, on his right, sat Queen Sephie.
She had now returned to her role as queen consort.
But this time, Sephie was Kaito's queen.
"Everyone, I know many of you still don't accept me, questioning why someone who appeared out of nowhere sits on this throne."
"Hehe... it doesn't matter. Time... no, the coming war will prove everything."
"Since the rebels have ignited the flames of war, then everyone... are you ready to crush them all?"
"For this war, I don't need a full mobilization. I just need a few fleets. The rest, leave to me!"
Once the war started, Kaito would also start a live broadcast.
Since the war was very dangerous, with planets being destroyed, aircraft carriers and battleships potentially being blown up, Kaito refused to let Yunyun and the others follow.
They could watch the live broadcast then. Meanwhile, they could enjoy their time in the royal capital.
Of course, as the queen, Sephie was supposed to stay in the palace. But since Kaito's authority wasn't yet fully established, even though he had announced to the universe that he was the new Overlord, many probably wouldn't recognize him.
Therefore, the queen needed to accompany Kaito into battle.
Moreover, whenever they arrived at a space port or similar location, Sephie would handle negotiations and various matters. The same applied when visiting planets and meeting with planetary rulers.
The queen's reputation was enormous. Most people recognized Sephie, not Kaito.
"Sephie, how long will this voyage take?"
That night, as several fleets set off grandly, Kaito, Sephie, Baal, and Beelzebul boarded the Royal aircraft carrier.
Inside the royal quarters on the carrier, Kaito idly watched the scenery of space through the holographic projection screen.
To be honest, before venturing out, the scenery was as beautiful as it could be, with an indescribable beauty.
But when they reached the depths of space, the surrounding pitch-black areas instantly lost their appeal.
Without a shining star to illuminate them, it was truly pitch black, nothing to see.
"This voyage... will take about 25 hours, including space jumps."
Sephie operated the controls and, after a few taps on the holographic screen, gave Kaito the data he wanted.
It was quite far. The holographic projection had shrunk the range significantly, making the almost invisible destination barely noticeable.
Basically, there were tens of thousands of super-large galaxies in between.
Many of those galaxies were even larger than the Milky Way.
In this aspect, it was vastly different from the original work.
After all, the original work was about a war in the Milky Way, an Overlord of the Milky Way.
But here...
It truly encompassed the entire universe!!
The area under its jurisdiction was unimaginable in a short time. The number of planets ruled reached the scale of trillions.
A civilization like Earth didn't even qualify for a glance, let alone inspire any desire for conquest.
At the very least, you had to reach the level of space travel to be noticed, then be informed that your galaxy was within their jurisdiction, that you had autonomy over your galaxy, but you needed to pay a certain amount of tribute each year.
Anyway, that was the current state of the universe.
It was very strong, but not as exaggerated as the level 4 or level 5 civilizations in some sci-fi novels.
At least, Kiddo's strength was the peak.
No stronger entities had been discovered yet.
"It's quite far... I thought just a few space jumps would get us there..."
"Hehe, even though space jumps can cover vast distances, the universe is simply too vast. Also, the rebels are smart to stay this far away. By the time we set off, they have time to prepare."
"That's true. By now, they've either fled or are ready to meet us head-on."
Baal and Beelzebul were very curious about space and wanted to go outside and see.
But since the carrier was moving at full speed, and they would make a space jump as soon as the cooldown ended, there was no time to stop. So, they would wait until they reached their destination before going outside to check.
Breathing was one thing; they wanted to see how they performed in space.
They could hold their breath. With their strength, holding it for days was no problem.
Then...
Kaito tentatively invited Baal and Beelzebul.
Baal seemed interested, but Beelzebul didn't dare be so reckless. She pulled her sister, Baal, to the adjacent quarters to rest.
With only Kaito and Sephie left in the royal quarters, naturally, they found a good way to pass the time.
After all, they hadn't fully enjoyed themselves last night...
