Chapter 616: Bad Luck Arrives as Expected
"I am Rogal Dorn! You finally remembered me!"

Looking at the big guy in front of him who was covered in dust and looked like a lemon that had just been dug out, Magnus felt embarrassed. He was just talking about the seventh brother, but who knew he had actually forgotten about him.

On the other hand, the Emperor had no shame at all, because he had no shame at all, and the same was true of Hogg, but compared to the Emperor's moral level, Hogg could at least be considered anthropomorphic. He did feel a little guilty, but the object was not Dorn, but his unlucky stepmother Mara who cheated him of his pocket money.

A friend in need is a friend indeed. Although Mara often harms Hogg, Hogg still takes good care of this unfortunate apprentice. After all, she is his biological mother.

Looking at Mara, who was eating and drinking excessively, with her clothes in tatters and even her face swollen, Hogg looked as kind as Emilia and picked up a comb to comb her hair.

"My unlucky apprentice, why did you fight with the yellow-skinned guy for no reason? And I've told you long ago that, except for the kobold, the other three aren't good people. Don't play with them. Look what's going on now. You've been tricked!"

Although they were both emperors, Mara obviously loved Hogg more. He knew that Hogg cared about him, but he still raised his head and shouted rebelliously:
"If it weren't for those bastards holding me back, I wouldn't have lost. The Emperor, that bastard, actually lied to me and said that you and Magnus were going to die. I knew he had bad intentions. He said one thing to my face and another behind my back. He was so despicable. He even hit me on the head. I'm not smart to begin with. What should I do if I get hit and become stupid?"

Hogg had more love for Mara, who was nominally his stepmother. After all, the silly girl was his apprentice, and if he didn't care about her, she might be fooled by Old Man Huang and lose her way again.

But think about it, with Mara's bad luck, if we really don't care about her, who knows what kind of trouble she will cause. If she causes other people's families to be destroyed, it would be too immoral.
Seeing that Hogg's expression was not right and that he was going to deduct his pocket money again, Mara quickly took out a piece of strange-shaped black crystal and looked at Hogg with a very innocent expression.

In fact, Mara also has the same characteristics as the Emperor, and even in the eyes of someone like Hogg who cannot be deceived by psychic illusions, Mara is still a real beauty.

But no matter how beautiful a person is, after being beaten black and blue, he still looks at you with a stupid look. Anyone would sigh that it is a pity for this child, how could he be such a fool.

After taking the black crystal, Hogg weighed it up and down. To be honest, he had no idea what it was, but his years of experience in picking up trash made him realize that this thing was definitely a treasure.

"what is this?"

"It's a fragment of the subspace law!"

Hearing that this thing was actually the main material for making the Primarch, Hogg swallowed back his words of reprimand, smiled, hugged Mara tightly, rubbed her dog head and praised:
"My dear girl, I really did love you for what you did. When Emilia comes, I will ask her to increase our pocket money."

"But I am your mother!"

"It's not important. We are friends. I am also the father of Old Man Huang! We don't have to worry about pocket money anymore. By the way, what is the function of this subspace fragment? Does it have the kind of powerful power that sounds awesome?"

When asked, Mara remained silent. The Emperor, who had been prepared for a long time, jumped out and sneered with a smug look on his face:

"It's called the luck of turning danger into safety in a desperate situation. It can also be said that it is the way to change no matter how bad it can get!"

"Snapped!"

He quickly threw away the black crystal in his hand, fearing that he would be stuck with bad luck. Hogg used his psionic energy to wash his hands vigorously, but Mara was not happy. He picked up the crystal, wiped it, and slapped it into his body on the spot:
"Tsk, you don't know what's good. I'm already so unlucky, how much more unlucky can I get? This is called two negatives equal a positive. What I care about is that last bit of luck."

At this point, Mara wanted to take a coin out of her pocket, but after searching for a long time, she found that she was poor and had no money at all. She could only look at everyone with pitiful eyes. Hogg would never let Mara touch anything related to money, but it was obvious that some people present did not believe in it. Dorn stood up and said that you are all feudal superstitions, and directly handed Mara a bag of throne coins.

Picking up a cute little golden coin from it, Mara clasped his hands together, picked up the bag of gold coins and threw it upwards, using the bag of coins as a sacrifice to pray for himself.

Along with the flash of pitch-black flames, the coins thrown into the air disappeared on the spot, and a mysterious feeling appeared on Mara's body.

Feeling that the time was right, Mara tossed the last coin into the air. As the coin spun back and forth on the floor, Mara muttered, "I want heads, I want heads."

This action attracted everyone's attention. Everyone wanted to see if the black crystal could really change the luck of the unlucky Mara. However, as they watched, Dorn's eyes gradually became sharper:

“Hmm, why is this coin still spinning?”

Dorn's question led to deep thought, and Mara said that it was probably because he had played her too hard just now, or the floor was too slippery. These were all normal and there was no need to worry about them. You have to believe in the imperial truth!

One minute, two minutes, when the time came to thirteen minutes, Mara's smile disappeared, but the smile would not disappear, it would only shift, and the corners of the emperor's mouth rose at a speed visible to the naked eye.

At this time, the coin finally stopped spinning, and after shaking repeatedly, it finally stopped with the front side facing up, causing Mara to exclaim:
"See? I told you this is a good treasure. Once I have thoroughly understood this subspace fragment, I won't be called an unlucky guy anymore. I can finally sell the glass ornaments that have been piled up for so many years! Hahahaha, I am the god of luck."

Mara was so excited that she finally got what she wanted. She rushed outside. She wanted to find her good friend Erda to do something big together, to unseal the batch of exquisite glass products she made by herself.

Looking at Mara's jumping back, Hogg scratched his head and picked up the coin on the ground. After all, a coin is also money. However, when he picked it up, he found that there was something wrong with the coin. The imperial double eagle on the back was gone.

Looking at the Emperor who was trying not to laugh, Hogg asked, "Old Huang, I know which side Mara was on when you split her. It must have included bad luck, right?"

Hogg's suspicion was well-founded. None of the soul fragments split from the Emperor were good. Some were greedy and lustful, while others were lazy and idle. Even the most normal Sigma had the quirk of being a chatterbox and couldn't stop talking once he started.

Given the Emperor's character, he would definitely leave behind a countermeasure for someone like Mara, the strongest villain who represents destruction. Hogg had been thinking about what that countermeasure was before, but now he is 80% sure that it is the so-called bad luck.

The Emperor confessed to this and took the coin from Hogg's hand and wiped it. The coin that originally had double heads became normal again. He tossed it casually, and the coin seemed to be set and would stand on the floor no matter how it was rotated.

Mara, who rushed out of the palace, found her good friend Elda, and by the way, she also pulled over Elsa who had just come out of the Blacklight. After a speech, she actually fooled these two unlucky guys, and even bypassed Hogg and applied for a start-up fund from Emilia, the chief steward.

At the same time, the coin that was standing on the floor just now suddenly fell slowly in the corner, sparkling under the light. The double eagle mark that represented the power of the empire revealed an inexplicable black humor.

"Holy! The great Lord of Doom and Destruction."
