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

When Eren first created the clone, it was an unintelligent being that could only follow basic orders. Anything too complex, the clone couldn't comprehend.

However, with Eren's growing strength, his clone had also evolved. It was still just as weak as ever, but it had developed a rudimentary intelligence. The clone could now experience emotions like sadness, happiness, and even embarrassment.

And that embarrassment was precisely what the clone was feeling at the moment, dressed as a woman and disguised as the Holy Priestess.

"If it was earth, you would have been jailed for child abuse." The Clone mumbled under his lips, to Eren who was right next to him, as the Holy Emperor.

"From which angle are you a child?" Eren asked in a low voice while waving his hands towards the citizens that had gathered in front of the Palace.

Almost all the citizens of the city had been informed that the Holy Emperor was going to announce something important today, and many people had arrived to listen.

Now that the Holy Emperor was so famous, almost everyone wanted to see him, and listen to him. Within half an hour, so many people had gathered that there was not even space left to stand.

Amidst the crowd, Eren was certain that there were a few spies as well. However, he didn't bother to find them. The spies had only one responsibility, which was to convey what he wanted to be conveyed.

"I am only a few months old, aren't I?" The Clone shrugged, still being a little grumpy that he was made to do this.

He was the clone of the person that had destroyed an Overload. He should've been handling territory and big matters, not being dressed as a princess and giving speeches.

"Do you think anyone would've believed you if we were back on earth? Good luck trying to convince the cops," Eren continued the light hearted banter, not minding the complaints of his clone.

At the end of the day, he was pleased that his clone could talk to him like this. He felt less lonely since there was another person who could understand what he was going through.

In this world, even Yelen didn't know about his true past. He couldn't tell anyone about the origins of earth. Only his clone could be a companion to his secrets.

"Citizens of this brave empire!" Eren started speaking, his voice being enhanced so that it could be heard by all.

All those who had thought that something was wrong with the holy essence of this continent were left surprised when they saw Eren using holy essence.

Even the spies thought that the rumours might have been wrong. After all, the Holy Priestess was standing next to Eren, and she looked quite friendly to him.

As Eren and the so-called holy priestess were standing next to each other, they couldn't even differentiate between the source of the Holy Essence. It was as if both of them could use it.

Their aura was also so heavy that almost everyone here could feel their Majesty.

"I am certain that many of you know about the attempts of the Necromancer Tower to destroy our peaceful lives! Not only did they invade our continent, but they even attacked the Holy Church!"

"They have waged a war on the Western Continent, and we shall not hide behind cowardice! The Holy Priestess and I have decided that it has been enough holding our ground!"

"That's why, today, I am declaring!" The clone, disguised as the Holy Priestess, also started speaking, taking Eren's lead. "We are going to attack the Northern Continent with all we have."

"The cursed existence of the Necromancer Tower shall be destroyed under the holy light! May the blessing of the goddess be with the brave men and women of the continent."

Although many people expected something like this, hearing it with their own ears felt surreal. This was a declaration of war! This was not a normal war between kingdoms, but a continental war!

Even the spies hiding amidst the crowd were left pale faced, especially the spies of the Northern Continent.

They knew that there was hostility between the continents, but they didn't think that a continental war was going to be waged so fast.

Hell's Opening was right around the corner. There could be no worse time for this war. However, it was also an opportunity.

Even if the Hell's Gate hadn't completely opened, it had still strengthened the Necromancers beyond what the Western Continent knew about.

Even if the Necromancer Tower didn't send its main force, the Northern Continent might still win this war, or at least drag it long enough for the Tower Master to return after achieving his goals.

The spies were getting restless. It was big news that they had to convey back to their masters, but they still calmed their nerves and waited to see if there was anything else.

"The War shall be led by the Holy Emperor, the sole authority of the Western Continent!" The Holy Priestess declared, shocking the crowd even further.

The Priestess was calling Eren the sole authority? Was she giving complete control to Eren? Something didn't seem right.

"I know you might have a lot of questions about the disappearance of the barrier and the absence of Cardinals. I am pleased to declare that the Goddess had decided to bless the Holy Emperor, just like she had blessed me!"

"That's why, today, I also declare the birth of another Overlord who is as strong as me now, if not stronger!"

The clone looked towards Eren while declaring.

To remove the power vacuum of the Western Continent in the absence of an overlord, another Overlord was needed. And that second Overlord was a position that Eren took for himself as the Holy Emperor of the West.

He was finally declaring to the world that he had arrived! The power structure of this world had started shifting from this moment onwards.
