Overwhelmed by his despondency, the divine brigadier overlooked a few key points. Now that he had some time alone, he realized a few things were off about Dark Emperor.
Nobody knew Dark Emperor's true identity, but he did. Dark Emperor used to be his junior, and she loved him. However, that love was unrequited, and the divine brigadier married Edmund's mother. Shortly after their marriage, Edmund's mother passed away in an accident.
Back then, Dark Emperor used that opening to date the divine brigadier and had his child. However, when the divine brigadier found out that Dark Emperor was the one who killed Edmund's mother, he almost killed her out of rage.
She was only spared because she was pregnant with their child back then. However, the divine brigadier exiled her and banned her from ever entering
Erudia again. If she ever broke that rule, he would kill her.
Since then, he planted the seed of hatred in Dark Emperor, and she started creating an organization overseas to bolster her strength. She did all that just so she could come back to Erudia one day and go toe to toe with The Cardinal Hall. If that came to pass, she could talk to him on equal footing.
She would not stop at anything to achieve her goals, and the likes of Zoey were just her pawns. However, her plan failed, for Levi showed up and wiped her off the face of this earth.
The divine brigadier knew how deep Dark Emperor's hatred ran. It was unimaginable, so he knew she'd scoff at him if she defeated him. But back then, Dark Emperor didn't even say a word to him. The first thing 'she' did was attack him.
Right after she defeated him, she went away without even saying a word.
That woman's hatred has been going on for decades. Why didn't she say anything to me after she beat me?Odd. Something's off'. If that's really her, she would have been ecstatic to have beaten me in a fair fight. There's no way she could have stayed that calm. Weird. Something's not right with her. Wait. Can it be that's not the real Dark Emperor? It could have been someone else who's wearing her mask.
Finally, the divine brigadier had a stroke of inspiration. He knew the real Dark Emperor too well. After all, she was his junior. Vengeance might grant her great power, but it was destined to be a limited one. It was impossible for her to be the strongest in the world.
