Origin Lust Sword System
123 Cyrus's Grand Scheme (2)
Eve couldn't help but ask in disbelief, "Then why are you doing all this?"
Just like everyone else, she thought Cyrus was doing it for humanity and because he hated those dimension temples for what they'd been doing in the shadows, yet it didn't seem to be the case.
"Simple, if you want to unite a race and form a great nation, you need a powerful enemy which you can't live under the same sky. Only by having such an enemy can a nation grow at terrifying speed and become a great, powerful nation.
"I'm doing the same thing by giving them all an enemy and also giving them a real home who cared about their own kind more than anything else, and only this way can they be of some use to us.
"If I simply gave them power without any purpose, they will be turned out to be like house flowers and can only bully each other by fighting for more sunlight.
"The dimension is something far greater than we could ever imagine, Eve, so we can't let our guard down even for a second.
"According to the system, a dimension seemed to be fully capable of devouring another dimension, even worlds, so every other dimension is our enemy. Even if we don't consider them our enemies, they will. It's either getting devoured or devoured back.
"And I'm not planning to be devoured, and neither I hope you have such a thought. So, what we need are soldiers who can kill without batting an eye to protect their homes.
"So, I'm giving them all the home as well as introducing them to the future enemy. This is how they will be turned into a united front against enemies we'll face in the future. While at some point, you and I don't even need to do anything." Cyrus revealed his grand ambition to Eve.
Eve was completely speechless when she finally got to understand just how far Cyrus was planning, and this plan was all built upon the foundation of this very dimension.
"So, you're manipulating all of them? Even all the women behind you? What if they all hate you for it once they find out?" Eve couldn't help but ask in a worried tone.
"I'm manipulating them toward a better future, and as for the women who trusted their lives to me, don't worry, I'm not that heartless. Besides, this is what a true Ruler does!" Cyrus declared.
At this moment, the three golden pills were fully condensed in front of three people, and with a wave of his hand, those three pills were collected into his palm.
Cyrus then looked into those three, who were now panting heavily, and asked with a cold smile, "So tell me, how do you feel after I remove your bloodline?"
The three of them absent-mindedly replied,
"F-free…"
"Freedom!"
"Lightheaded!"
However, the very next moment, they instantly snapped out of their stupor and cried in alarm,
"Why is my mana suddenly decreasing!?"
"Mine as well!"
Hearing their words, everyone was feeling their scalp tingle with trepidation as they looked at the panicked expression on their faces.
Cyrus spoke, drawing everyone's attention, "What you are witnessing is the true drawback of cultivating with foreign bloodline as a base. Since I have stripped you off from your bloodline, you will naturally lose all the power built on those bloodlines. Your foundations were like a sand castle to begin with."
"I-I don't want to remove my bloodline! Give it back to me!" The handsome man seemed to have finally lost it as he felt all that power he had accumulated in over a decade fades away in the wind. With bloodshot eyes, he lunged toward Cyrus.
However, he seemed to forget about where he was standing, and he was going to fall before he could even touch Jacob's hair, but before any of that could even happen, a dark streak suddenly brushed past the man's neck.

The moment the system voice rang in Cyrus's ears, the man's lunging figure suddenly fell down before his head started to separate under everyone's appalled looks.
But what happened next made people even more horrid as the beheaded body started to fade and completely vanished. Not even a drop of blood remained, and only his clothes and a shining ring were falling.
Yet the next moment, that ring suddenly started to fly upward, and it landed directly in Cyrus's hand. It was so swift, and the scene was so blood-curdling that hardly anyone noticed it.
"Well, he chose the path toward hell after all." Cyrus's rueful voice rang in everyone's ears which was like the voice of the devil at his moment as that man's clothes were still fluttering in the wind.
"Now, how about you two? Do you want to follow your companion?" Cyrus turned his focus toward the remaining two, who were ashen as they looked and thought about how quickly their companion died.
"N-no…I… thank you for this favor, Your Majesty!" The dainty woman quickly calmed her nerves as she blurted.
"Yes! Thank you for opening our eyes!" The bearded man also followed suit.
Although their bloodlines were completely gone and their power was slowly fading away, their lives were still intact, unlike their dead clansman.
Now even if Cyrus was lying, who would dare to give their opinion as he was completely merciless and was unmatched in the entire dimension, a true ruler!
On the other hand, Cyrus wanted to achieve exactly that, planting his fear in everyone's hearts that in the future, everyone would think hundreds of times before they even thought of crossing him or betraying the dimension.
"Very good. Since you two have come to your senses, I'll humbly welcome you into my dimension like everyone else. Everyone remembered there is no place for other dimension temples in my dimension.
"Now, I will again welcome you all in the Origin Lust Sword Dimension, and today we will be going to establish the Imperial City with all of you present as its first natives of the Origin Lust Sword Dynasty!"
