Now truly I am king of the world
At this moment, I feel like I am in control of the whole world
Master of fate
I am the one who determines my own destiny
Damned shall thy house be
May all your family and descendants be cursed for defying me

Never dare to ask or doubt my authority and influence

Don't attempt to challenge me again, or else there will be severe consequences
