[Charlotte!! Do you realize what you have done?!]

  Seria was screaming at me through the phone, for the first time she seemed genuinely pissed.

  "To be fair, I did warn you.", I took in a puff of smoke, "And I don't need your approval."

  [That isn't the point!! You basically decred yourself the enemy of mankind with that stunt!!]

  "How can I be the enemy of mankind when I am its ruler?", I leaned back on my throne, "Don't worry about me, I'll be fine. It's not like people can just throw nuclear bombs at me."

  [You were the one who used them all up in the first pce!!]

  "Anyway, someone is now on trial.", I swiped off the call and look at my phone, "The CEO of a massive corporation."

  I gleefully smile, "Do you want to see what I can do?"

  [What are you...]

  The votes are in, four billion votes at that... and almost all voted for Judgement. Under the scrutiny of all of humanity, none can escape Justice.

  "The man who destroyed countless acres of nds, taking away the homes of millions, letting those under him suffer silently.", I procimed to Seria, "Mom, don't you see the injustice in all of this?"

  I stood up from my throne, my arms spread wide and proud.

  "How can such a person live like that without facing judgment? How can he sleep peacefully at night for all the crimes he committed?"

  Dozens of screens popped up before me, dispying stock charts, live footage, and this person's main website.

  "Joseph B. Garden, the Founder and CEO of the Unity Delivery Service, was found guilty of fraud, tax evasion, unwful acquisition of ancestral nd, assassination, and many more crimes.", I held my right hand forward, "For the dystopia of tomorrow, your existence is unneeded."

  And I pointed my thumb down, signaling the execution. In an instant, the stock market plummeted to zero, the website and all that was reted to him was deleted from the internet, all recorded contracts, all patents, everything was deleted.

  In one fell swoop, everything was gone.

  "Do you see it, Seria? This is the power of humanity, everyone now have the power to bring Judgement down on anyone.", I ughed maniacally, "Hahahahahaha~!! A world of chaos and order~ this is what I wanted!!"

  [You are a crazy son of a bitch.], there was a little mirth in her voice, but she was still very angry.

  "But you are my Mom.", I shrugged with a smile, "People say that children are the reflection of those around them, this is what those reflections have made me into."

  I was born in the womb of darkness, my soul shattered from cycles of mind wipes, the first thing I know is a white void, I learned that I am not normal, violence is the first nguage I understood, cruelty brings me happiness, to live for myself is better than to live for other, but my selfishness can be selfless. Like Sincir, I open a path to the future, but this path will not be the end of humanity.

  "Well, it was nice talking to you, Mom. I have other things to do.", I ended the call before she could scream at me.

  Now with that done, and Argent Alexandria is fully operational, many governments had found a way to navigate around my website.

  Although it seems omnipotent, it is not. There are restrictions by design, after all.

  For one, people can't search for an anonymous person without knowing that person's full name. Well, the malice of humanity will find a way.

  You can't search for comprehensive operations, rather, you must search multiple people to get a full picture.

  And one st thing, I am an invalid target for Judgement. So nobody can search me up or target me, as I am the one running the show, after all.

  Hmm~ this is the most refined way I could do it, without Utopia it could've taken a few years of programming. I am grateful for his presence.

  Well, it's time for that.

  =0=0=

  "Welcome, everyone to my abode.", I sat cross-legged on my chair, wearing a simple T-shirt and leggings, all white, of course.

  "It has been a while, a month or two, I supposed?", a giggle escaped me, "Anyhow, you all heard my song, right?"

  [Endern: That was so beautiful!!][177013: I LOVE YOU!!][FinTheYuusha: I don't care if I am exposed!!][Man-niisan: that was a major mistake][Allogater: It has been a while!!][Crispford: Enemy of Mankind!! Such a cool title!!]...

  The chat is popping off more than before, with around three million viewers at that. I love this attention~

  "Welcome, old and new viewers, I am Silver Royal. As you all know, my real name is Charlotte Silvi, the Argent Monarch of Humanity. Refer to me as such.", I commanded them.

  Oh, an interesting question popped up amongst the sea of simping.

  [Are you a queen or an empress?]

  "Hmm~ but of course, I am still a Princess high on top of a tower. Queen and Empress, they are too old to fit me.", I crackled a bit, "Well, I guess it is time for me to reveal something to you all."

  On my recording software, Utopia pulled up all the cool footage he took of me on my adventures, well, I, unfortunately, didn't get the boring fight against the Replica of the Lord of Tindalos because those photos and videos got corrupted by an unknown force. Utopia advised me to not go against that force. It was the first time I felt genuine fear coming from him, so touch that is a no no.

  "I did a lot of things, and most recently, I burned all the undead horde that destroyed China.", I proudly said.

  [Was it hard?]

  "It was not hard at all, it's more of a mental thing.", I dislike looking at the Undead, my eyes are good, so good in fact I get high-definition images of walking rotting corpses, "I had something major happening around that time."

  Then the wave of hate comments came, berating me for why didn't I solve it sooner if I had this much power. Why didn't I save the people? Why I did do nothing for so long?

  "Mispced trust, I supposed.", I sighed, "I am not everyone's mother, I don't dictate everyone's life."

  Enna came into my room to deliver my snack - some cupcakes. I signaled for her to just leave it on the table behind me, and also got her into the camera.

  "I just give people something, what they want to do with it I don't care. The people of China, I did the same, I gave them a chance.", I picked up my cup of coffee, taking a small sip, gring at the camera, "And they blundered."

  It was no fault of mine that they hesitated in using their nuclear arsenal before I did.

  "I have power, yes, but I can't be everywhere all at once.", this is more of a mentality problem than anything else, "I am not a demon, after all, but I would probably make anyone who calls me that regret ever being born."

  The chat stopped for a moment, I wonder why? Hehe~ oh, an interesting question.

  [Where did the money go then?]

  That's simple enough, "The money is distributed to charities and non-profit organizations, as well as reputable research institutes. Oh, and everyone's student debt is deleted, and if anyone has a problem with that, tell them to come with an army."

  A wave of praises came to me, it's pretty interesting how one moment they hate me and then celebrate me the next. But not all are satisfied.

  [Umm, how will I get my delivery now?]

  Oh, the delivery company got deleted after all.

  "Oh, another fun fact about the Trial, the severity depends on how many people vote Guilty. I just enact Judgement based on how people voted.", I snapped my finger, "And don't worry, after a few more Trials, you will all understand all the rules."

  I did y out the specifics for Utopia, so he's handling it for me right as I speak. Surprisingly, this doesn't use up even a percent of his processing power. The current level of technology is primitive to him, after all, and if he wanted to, he could reset it all back to zero.

  Out of all the Heralds on Earth, there are two who I am cautious about, the Regent of Fire Vampires, Fthaggua - my "best friend", and my dear Knight. They are both world-ending threats. Hoa can wipe out all of humanity in minutes, she doesn't do it unless its a command from The Madden Fme.

  "So, css, did we learn our lesson today? With power comes great responsibility, so be careful with your decision.", I grinned and chuckle menacingly.

  =0=0=

  White House, United States of America.

  "[So, Miss Seria, are you going to decre war on Her Majesty?]", Utopia's voice echoes through the private room.

  "That would be incredibly stupid.", Seria sighed, "When the world is dependent on technology, that is humanity's greatest weakness when it comes to you."

  She picked up the cup of coffee and took a sip.

  "Because of you two I can't do anything I like, stuck in the White House to prevent any bad decision from happening.", she whined, "Arrggghhh..."

  Seria stares at the phone on the table, where Utopia is contacting her.

  "Her goal is to jump-start another Great War, isn't it?", Seria stated.

  "[What makes you think that?]", Utopia asks, his voice as neutral as always.

  "I just have a feeling, from the intelligence gathered and now with the added support of Argent Alexandria, many countries are ready for war. And with the huge power vacuum China left behind...", Seria put down her cup and smiled wickedly, "Very clever, Charlotte."

  "[War is the mother of inventions.]", Utopia suddenly spoke, "[And the door to the next era.]"

  "What do you mean by that?!", Seria grabbed the phone, but there was no sign of Utopia.

  She has a lot of things to go through, although not paperwork since she detests those things. Her job was to say "You shouldn't do it, that's dumb as fuck" to every insane decision.

  To make matters worse, Seria spotted the most terrifying president in history, Andrew Jackson, someone she viewed as a friend - they went into a bar together to have some drinks, chat, and she learned that the Eldritch Gods were being more active. And he proceeded to commit suicide in front of her to get away.

  The matter with Charlotte is the worst-case scenario in this chaotic time, Seria just wants to sleep all day but instead, the president and Congress tasked her with finding the Argent Monarch. The problem is finding her is practically impossible.

  "It's not like she's chilling in the Arctic, that pce definitely doesn't fit her.", Seria downed her coffee.
