Ves already suspected it for a while, but now he was truly certain.
He was not going to die today.
Rion did not harbor any great resentment towards the person who killed his previous self and the person responsible for causing his entire empire to collapse!
The Iron Emperor was a truly fitting title for this cybernetic and heavily augmented dwarf. By losing most of his memories of his past along with all of his emotional attachments, he lacked the empathy of most people.
As far as he was concerned, he started off his second life as someone who was already an adult. His abnormal development trajectory molded him into the leader that the dwarven people truly needed, but that was not necessarily good news for the citizens of the Vulcan Empire.
The Vulcanites who hated the tall folk and unflinchingly believed in the most ridiculous notions about their god were undesirable subjects that needed to be wiped out from existence to avoid spreading their poisonous ideology any further!
