>Leviathan impersonates Imperator but gets discovered
>Unleashes the dark tide upon Rinacita in response
>Imperator split energy from itself, infused the lantern and the sword of divinity and gave them to Napoli II so all the people wouldn't get murdered
>This leaves Imperator weakened so Leviathan goes straight for Imperator
>Imperator, having no other course of action, allows itself to be absorbed, leading them to share the same body and fighting over it for centuries. This severely impairs Leviathan's ability to blur the lines between reality and fiction.
>While still haunted by the dark tide and the Threnodian, the people of Rinacita are still spared from a worse fate while Leviathan is busy with his internal conflict and trying to create its resonator, which itself besides being a distraction is part of the sentinel's plan to nuke both of them
Anyone who still thinks that Imperator is incompetent or retarded unironically suffers from comprehension issues. Imperator is best horse and deserves to be reincarnated into Uma Musume
