Starting with Fireflies, Speedrun the World

I just don't know how it will end.

However, no matter what, what is about to happen is not a good thing for ordinary people.

Chapter 69: Unable to break through the defenses

"Hahahaha! That's right, the Supreme Imperial Arms are comparable to gods, they are gods in themselves."

"Give those foolish rebels and those killer gods their punishment! Destroy everything, and a new rule will be rebuilt on the ruins."

Although the appearance of the Supreme Imperial Arms caused the entire palace to collapse, with many buildings falling down and turning into ruins.

But Minister Xian didn't care at all. He stood in the safe ruins, looking up at the enormous Guardian Divine Machine, his tone full of expectation.

This is the moment he has been waiting for.

"..."

"Is this the legendary Supreme Imperial Arm? It's truly terrifying!"

"Yes, it's as massive as the creation engine Miss Clara created before. The power of a god... truly lives up to its name."

Brand and Will, who were rushing into the palace, stopped in their tracks. They looked up at the enormous thing in front of them and couldn't help but feel a sense of fear.

The legendary strongest and original Imperial Arm.

This represents the last trump card of this thousand-year-old empire, which has now been completely revealed.

However, they had seen similar beings before, so they still had some confidence.

The creation engine that Miss Clara created, capable of altering the landscape, gave them a sense of awe no less than that of the Supreme Imperial Arms before them.

"Such an existence could only be dealt with by an equally terrifying creation engine, right?"

Will swallowed hard. He didn't think any other Teigu users had the strength to deal with a Supreme Teigu, not even Esdeath.

The Supreme Imperial Arms possess the most powerful attack and the most powerful defense in the world. Otherwise, why would the Empire have given away other Imperial Arms to others at will for thousands of years, while the Supreme Imperial Arms was sealed and required to be of royal blood?

"The creation engine is on its way, let's go! Let's hold it off for now..."

Noticing the Supreme Imperial Arms's actions and seeing it take a step forward, Brand sensed danger and quickly spoke to Will.

The Emperor is piloting this Gundam-like Supreme Imperial Arm, preparing to wipe them out. Although they fear this supreme power, they must stall for time and wait for the Creation Engine to arrive.

"it is good."

Will swallowed hard, but did not hesitate.

As long as we can stall it, there's no need for a desperate battle; it should be fine...

Without further ado, the two charged at the super Gundam before them, activating all the mechanisms of their Imperial Arms without holding back.

When dealing with such a supreme being, one cannot hold back in the slightest, or they will be the ones to die.

"Possessed by evil spirits!!"

"Seven-Star Sword/Noble Chariot!!"

Just as the Gundam Imperial Arms took a step forward, two armored figures rushed out simultaneously, unleashing their strongest power and wielding their Imperial Arms' signature weapons to slash at it.

At this moment, the two seemed to have transformed into super dangerous beings formed from the artifacts on their bodies, and their terrifying aura made the space itself seem to freeze.

The ground beneath their feet could not withstand the pressure and cracked.

However, when such an attack struck the Supreme Imperial Arm, it didn't even leave a mark.

"how come……"

Seeing that even their strongest attacks couldn't break through the defenses of the Supreme Imperial Arm before them, the two were instantly stunned. How could they possibly fight this?

Is this the Supreme Imperial Arm?

They're not even in the same league...

Will, refusing to believe it, increased his strength again and stabbed at the external device of the Gundam Teigu once more, but the result was the same.

Even their attacks couldn't break through its defenses; it's unimaginable what else, besides the creation engine, could harm it.

"Legend has it that the Supreme Imperial Arms possess the strongest defense and the strongest attack, and it seems that's true. Theoretically, no other Imperial Arms can break through the defense of the Supreme Imperial Arms. This is the reason why the Emperor reigns supreme over the Empire and dominates this world!"

"Young man, don't waste your energy... Let the Creation Engine handle the Supreme Imperial Arms. We just need to delay them."

Brand tried it once but decisively gave up attacking the Supreme Imperial Arm in front of him, because it was completely ineffective.

To use an Imperial Arm against a Supreme Imperial Arm, a miracle would have to occur, causing the Imperial Arm to unleash power that surpasses even the Imperial Arm itself, or even the power of a Super Dangerous Species.

Theoretically, it's possible for Brand to be possessed by a demon and for Esdeath to manifest a demon, but it's extremely difficult to actually achieve that.

Moreover, even if one reaches that level, it only grants them the qualification to fight against the Supreme Imperial Arms, not the ability to defeat the Guardian Divine Machine.

This thing was like a god from the very beginning, standing above all Imperial Arms like an emperor.

"Ahhhh!"

"You traitors are unforgivable!"

At this moment, the young emperor, who was inside the head of the Supreme Imperial Arm, watched the events unfolding in the palace and noticed the increasing number of rebels entering the capital. He was also enraged, for reasons unknown.

"The empire that I have continued through generations is the order of God. How dare you defy the will of God? It is simply outrageous!"

As he spoke, a red light shone from a red crystal on the forehead of the enormous humanoid Imperial Arm, followed by a massive energy beam that shot out from the red crystal and hurtled towards Will and Brand.

"Quickly open!"

Sensing the danger emanating from the Supreme Imperial Arm, Brand warned Will and dodged the attack immediately.

The red ray was very fast, but thanks to Brand's reminder, Will instinctively dodged it and barely managed to avoid it.

However, it wasn't easy for him either. Although he avoided the direct attack, the aftershocks from the explosion still affected him.

"Boom!!"

A massive mushroom cloud rose instantly, accompanied by a deafening roar. Countless buildings were obliterated in the explosion.

Will and Brand were thrown into the air by the debris and blast wave from the explosion.

Fortunately, they were all wearing armor, which minimized the damage they suffered.

But the young emperor's counterattack had only just begun, and it was no longer just targeting Brand and his companion, but launching an attack on almost the entire capital city at the same time.

"Unforgivable!"

Two massive red beams of light shot out from the Supreme Imperial Arms' eyes once again. The Supreme Imperial Arms' head twitched slightly, and the beams plowed two huge tracks into the ground before shooting into the distance.

This attack turned the vast capital into ruins, the rays piercing through most of the city.

At this moment, the young emperor no longer cared about casualties; his only thought was to destroy the rebels and the assassins who threatened him.

Because of this indiscriminate attack, countless citizens in the capital lost their lives in an instant.

Chapter 70 Creation Engine vs. Supreme Imperial Arms

"You despicable rebels, today I'll let you experience the power of the gods!"

The young emperor's angry voice emanated from the Supreme Imperial Arms, tinged with a hint of satisfaction.

This immense power was something the young emperor had never felt before. At this moment, he felt like a god who ruled over everything in the world, capable of destroying all buildings with a single blow and completely annihilating those terrifying mechanical creations and rebels.

Although it was the people of the empire who died more often than he did.

"This is truly cruel..."

"Damn it, what kind of emperor is this, actually attacking his own people?"

Tatsumi looked at the destruction caused by the Supreme Imperial Arms. He wondered how many innocent people would die. It was simply too cruel.

How can anyone accept such a ruler?

As Tatsumi was saying this, he prepared to lead the robots around him to attack the Supreme Imperial Arms, but the next moment he was stopped by Sayo.

"Don't be impulsive, Tatsumi!"

“We are no match for this thing. We can only defeat it when Miss Clara’s creation engine arrives.”

Although they had the light cones given to them by Clara, they were still very unsure whether they could block the attacks of the Supreme Imperial Arms.

This is the strongest Imperial Arm.

If Tatsumi goes there now, he'll only be sending himself to his death.

They are no longer someone they can handle.

"Are we just going to stand by and watch?!"

Tatsumi was unwilling to accept this.

If this continues, who knows how many more innocent people will die.

"The mechanical legion is on its way to provide support. Let's take the healing robots to rescue and protect the civilians first!"

Sayu calmly stated that the most important thing to do at the moment was to minimize casualties, as the palace was no longer something they could get involved in.

Although still unwilling, Tatsumi gave up the idea of ​​fighting the Emperor to the death and instead began to lead the robots to help the innocent people.

The wounded were treated, while the others were moved away from the large battlefield.

"..."

"What kind of emperor are you, wantonly slaughtering your own people!"

As the Supreme Imperial Arms' attack descended once more, half of the Imperial Capital was reduced to ruins, and countless lives were lost.

Screams, cries, and wails filled the air, and an atmosphere of despair permeated the capital.

Unable to contain his anger, Will got up from the ground and charged at the Gundam Teigu ahead without fear of death once again.

"Hey, kid..."

Seeing Will charge towards the Emperor without fear of death, Brand, who had just stood up from the ground, couldn't help but reach out as if to say something.

But in the end, he hesitated.

Should we stop him?
