Then once the Crystal Retards are all gone, the Diamonds will step back in to restore order.
Of course, everything would have worked out a lot better for everyone if Steven would have focused on smoothing out the Empire's negative aspects to make everything more fair and balanced instead of tearing the whole fucking thing down.
