“ | So for the first century, I'll go easy on them; lure them into a false sense of security. And then when they think I'm not so bad, BAM, I'll go full-tyrant on them in the second century! After that, I'll disappear for a millennia and make them wonder if I ever existed to begin with, just to come back and kill them all! | „ |
