20 years had passed when I woke up! ~ The villain's daughter’s thereafter and after that ~ - Chapter 55

Translator: Jasper Kadowaki | Editor: NovelMultiverse

The battle resulted in an overwhelming victory for the Tristan Kingdom.

The Air Force, with the magic of aviation controlled by the mages, pulled off a one-sided attack, and the Kingdom of Atora’s navy took devastating damage from them.

“I-I-It’s impossible!” cried Goose, the naval commander. He couldn’t respond to the situation he was faced with, which kept getting worse and worse.

All he could do was scream hysterically while his face turned pale with panic.

“I-I can’t believe it! These people on the Belgarian Continent are supposed to be nothing but brainless apes! It must be some kind of terrible mistake! We can’t possibly lose!”

No matter how much he yelled, though, it didn’t budge the reality of the situation. The ships of the Atoran Kingdom kept sinking, one by one.

Before he knew it, ironclad ships surrounded the ship that Goose himself was on. Every one of these ironclads had massive cannons equipped, and they were all already heading straight at Goose’s ship. The Tristan Kingdom had sent not only their Air Force but their Navy, as well.

Goose was not a man of conviction that could boldly stand his ground in such a situation. 

“Ee-Ee-Eep! I-I’ll do anything you want! I’ll do anything you want, so please just spare my life!” he cried, in surrender.

His face was drenched in tears and sweat, and nothing about him exuded the status of the commandant of a great Navy. Perhaps because of his pleas, however, he did not die then and there.

Ultimately, Goose would be tried and convicted of his crimes, and he was sentenced to hanging.

Up until the very end, he begged for his life, but not a single soul from the Tristan Kingdom lent him an ear. This came as no surprise to anyone. Goose had gotten due punishment for his excessive insolence.

Incidentally, Fioria had held back, and not involved herself in the battle. The Air Force and Navy provided plenty of military force, and her powers were not required.

When she saw the situation, she headed west on her own.

The Atoran Kingdom was in the direction she was headed. She flew westward, with her golden hair waving in the wind.

Her speed was well past breaking the sound barrier. The sonic boom that she created split a seam through the ocean.

Before an hour had passed, she saw land.

“I’ll have you pay in full for attacking the Tristan Kingdom,” she said, tying up her golden hair.

“Repent – Divine!“[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]

The heavens opened up, and an eye-blistering, destructive column of light shot down to the earth below.

Not just once.

Two times, three times, four times…

An endless storm of “God’s pillars of retribution” burned through the Atoran Kingdom below.

The temples, the city streets, the harbors – everything was engulfed in the blinding light.

The one strange thing about it was that the onslaught didn’t harm a single person. All it did was completely erase all traces of the Atoran civilization from this world.

“You people called those who lived on the Belgarian Continent ‘Animalistic Barbarians’. This is your repayment for that. Take your divine punishment,” said Fioria.

After she left, all that remained were the people of the Atoran Kingdom.

One good aspect of this destruction was that no countries bordering the Atoran Kingdom were harmed. Of course, there were no countries bordering them, to begin with. The Atoran Kingdom ruled over an entire island that was about one fourth the size of the Belgarian Continent.

About six months after all of this, the Tristan Kingdom’s navy invaded the Atoran Kingdom.

Of course, the Atoran Kingdom had already lost pretty much all of their civilization, and they were very unlikely to be able to build their country back up in just six months. They couldn’t resist the Tristan Kingdom in any meaningful capacity, and they were easily conquered.

In this way, Fioria managed to spread the borders of the Tristan Kingdom.

With her own overwhelming strength, the Tristan Kingdom’s military strength, and her religion, which she used as a shining backdrop to her endeavors, she went about consolidating many lands into the Tristan Kingdom. 

Ultimately, Fioria united the entire Belgarian Continent in just three years. Yet, her path didn’t stop there.

She continued on eastward, to where what was known as “the Black Forest” existed, and she annexed what had been known as the “Eastern Lands” up until that point, and even annexed the island nations that were further east of that.

At the same time, in the other direction… She expanded her territory westward, as well. There were lands in the west that were already ruled over by the Tristan Kingdom, but she continued even further west of that – The result of this expansion was that the Tristan Kingdom reached the “Eastern Lands”.

To explain what had happened, this world, too, was round, and so, the “Far Reaches of the Western Lands” were connected to the “Far Reaches of the Eastern Lands”.

Eventually, the Tristan Kingdom had conquered most of the land upon the entire world, and it established itself as a massive world-spanning nation that would live on through history.

At that point, Fioria had spent fifteen years on the earth since she had woken up. However, she never seemed to age, and her appearances remained that of a seventeen-year-old.

No matter how much time passed, it was said that Fioria stayed young until the last of her days.

And, then – Twenty years after she had awakened from her poison induced sleep, she suddenly vanished.[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]
