Shout out to Stories: the Path of Destiny for all the ways you gradually discover you’re fucked.
Your initial leads to stop the emperor are an ally, a weapon, and an artifact. The ally is a traitor, the weapon may explode when used, and the artifact has an evil god living in it, so if you use any of them, you die. If you refuse to use any of them, you die. If you use the weapon to kill the god, you end up dying anyway.
In any ending where the emperor maintains control of the country, you die and horrible things happen. If the corrupt rebels win, you die and horrible things happen. If you take out the lot of them, you die and the country is taken over by brutal warlords. You can end up destroying time, destroying space, or sealed away until the sun devours the world. And somehow, you need to find the one path that will get you through this alive and free.
