The Black Emperor, also known as Black Emperor Solomon, was a Sequence 0 of the Black Emperor Pathway. "He" ascended in the Warring Era of the Fourth Epoch and ruled over the Solomon Empire.
Appearance[]
A mature middle-aged-looking man with black hair and black eyes. "He" gave off an aura of strictness and authority.[1]
History[]
Warring Era[]
"He" had seen the Second Blasphemy Slate when it appeared in the Fourth Epoch, along with Abraham, Zaratul, Tudor, Trunsoest, Augustus, Einhorn, Sauron, Castiya, Zoroast, Stiano, Constantine, and company before Adam took the Slate away. These were families who reigned over all the Beyonders in the Fourth Epoch.[2]
In the Warring Era, "He" had helped Zoroast Family keep the Beyonder Characteristic when their first Angel perished before "He" became a God.[3]
The First Solomon Empire[]
After the Warring Era, Solomon became a Sequence 0 of the Black Emperor Pathway. "He" established the Solomon Empire, and ruled over the Northern Continent. "He" was supported by multiple Angel Families, Rose Redemption and the True Creator.
- The Zoroast Family, the Abraham Family, the Zaratul Family were the families with Dukes. In addition, although the Medici Family and Ouroboros didn’t have any aristocratic titles, their standing wasn’t worse than the major aristocratic families[3]
- Although Tudor and Trunsoest were the most loyal angels under "Him", they were still ranked beneath the Dukes. They were on par with Augustus and Castiya.[3]
- The rules set by 'Him" have a key point—disharmony. If all the aristocratic families have the same style, "He" definitely wouldn’t be satisfied.[3]
- All the aristocrats in the Empire believe in "Him." Other than Medici and Ouroboros, they believe in the True Creator. Also, Duke Bethel Abraham might just be faking it. According to some rumours, "He" only believes in "Himself."
All living creatures submitted to "Him". Even deities acknowledged "His" rule in order to fight against opposing factions. This made "Them" unable to cooperate in a stable fashion, thus being unable to form an alliance to fight the Black Emperor and the True Creator.[3] And for the sake of balance, "He" didn’t attack the Southern Continent, and allowed Death to unite the plains and the ancient forest to build the Balam Empire.[3]
Ultimately, the six deities came to an agreement, and the Black Emperor perished. In the process, Alista Tudor and Trunsoest advanced to Sequence 1 Prince of Abolition of the Black Emperor Pathway. They established the Tudor-Trunsoest United Empire. Its double consul ruled over the Northern Continent. Angel Families mostly turned to support "Them", except the Zaratul Family and Zoroast Family which still faithfully believed in the Black Emperor.
The Second Solomon Empire[]
With Solomon's imminent revival, the Six Deities supported Trunsoest to transfer to Sequence 0 of Justiciar Pathway. Trunsoest also gained the support of the Sanguines through "His" marriage with the Blood Moon Queen Auernia.[4]
Alista Tudor met a dead end with no other choice. With the aid from Adam and Amon, "He" entrapped and killed all 3 Sequence 1 Angels of the Red Priest Pathway, switched "His" pathway and became Sequence 0 Red Priest, but went mad as the cost of switching to a non-neighboring pathway.[5]
Solomon managed to completely resurrect and supposedly rebuild the Solomon Empire.
War of the Four Emperors[]
The Black Emperor, the Blood Emperor, and the Night Emperor all perished in the war one after another.
Trivia[]
- The King of the Five Seas Nast Solomon is rumored to be "His" descendant.
