Having traversed countless realms, can you possibly be as clever as me?

He didn't have any obvious external injuries, but his mental state was extremely poor. Their doctors examined him and it seemed he had suffered some kind of major trauma that caused his mental breakdown.

God knows what Tsurugi showed him, but Gop didn't think it was a good idea to return a mentally unstable prince.

"Oh? Does that mean His Majesty the Duke is not in the hands of the Federal Army?"

Mark Bay's gaze turned serious.

"I've heard that Iron Reaper has also had significant conflicts with the Federation Army. Could it be that you're actually deceiving us?"

Gopp paused for a moment, then went straight to the point.

"Then let's exchange! Now, immediately!!!"

Gop's attitude left Mark Bey somewhat uncertain, but he was indeed anxious to complete the task Kycilia had assigned him—he had to bring the Prince back first, no matter what.

This is truly a testament to Lady Kycilia's filial piety!

The exchange ceremony began quickly. Zeon brought Rebil, who appeared to be well-fed and well-clothed, and even his uniform was ironed.

On Dejin's side, the bald, fat man's expression was very strange, and even the expressions on the Federation Army's side were very strange.

Sensing something was wrong, Mark Bay quickly brought Deakin over and said eagerly...

"Your Majesty, we have come to rescue you. Lady Kycilia has missed you terribly... Your Majesty?"

Mark Bay's expression froze on his face as he saw Deakin drooling like a senile idiot.

"Federation, what have you done to His Majesty the Prince?!"

The Zeon delegation was instantly enraged; if they hadn't already surrendered their weapons, they would have drawn their guns by now.

The Federation is also in an awkward position, because they really didn't do it, and they didn't kidnap the people. But all the boasts they made have now come back to haunt them.

"It must be that Iron Reaper! He's the one who abused our Prince!" Mark Bay's mind raced, and he immediately exclaimed angrily.

"Tell him to come out and meet us, Federal Army!!"

Mark Bay probably thought Tsurugi wouldn't be here, but this time, he was wrong again.

He thought the deal between Dongjiang and the Federation was a dirty insider scheme, but in reality—it was just a joke for the entertainment industry.

So, the fun guy made his appearance at just the right time!

"Find me?"

With Mark Bay's roar, all the screens suddenly lit up, and Tsugumi made her entrance to the tune of "The Imperial March".

"Long time no see, my fans, I've missed you all so much!!!"

On the screen, Tsugumi laughed wildly and spread his arms wide. The Zeon officer looked at him with eyes full of hatred and rage, as if he wanted to devour him.

But what happened next startled almost every high-ranking federal official, making them stand up abruptly.

That, that is...

"Yes, this is the Box of Laplace, the legendary object that can destroy the Federation if opened."

Tsuruga patted the stone slab behind her and smiled at everyone behind the screen.

"Many people don't know what this is, so let me explain—basically, it's something a lunar tycoon uses to threaten the federal government~~~~"

"Many people say that opening this box will destroy the federal government. So the question is, what's inside?"

"A super weapon? A super virus? Or some kind of key that can detonate all of the Federation's nuclear weapons with a single click?"

Tsurugi's drawn-out voice successfully heightened everyone's anticipation.

This even includes most members of the Federal Parliament—after all, even they are among the few who know the truth about Laplace's Box.

Otherwise, the rumors wouldn't have spread and become like this.

"Today, I'm not going to livestream killing people or streaming TuTu. Instead, I'm going to give you all an unboxing and review."

Tsugumi patted the box on her back, then smiled and clenched her fist.

Click click click click~~~~

Accompanied by a series of tired, relentless metallic clanging and tearing sounds, amidst countless expectant gazes, including those of Zeon's officers.

Then, as the box was torn open, what was revealed inside was—

A stele covered with inscriptions

Changing styles doesn't change anything, it's still all about killing! : 141. Slaughtering the Federation's high command, I am the Emperor of Humanity!

This? That's it? Is that all?

Just when the Box of Laplace had whetted everyone's appetite and made everyone eagerly anticipate what was inside, what was revealed was actually just a stone tablet.

This was truly disappointing for everyone watching the live stream.

Is this all you called everyone here for?

While the lost initial inscriptions from the Federation's entry into space exploration are indeed of great cultural value, who told you to set such a high bar in the first place? What's the point of bringing this thing out?

Do you really expect this thing to make the Federation bow down and acknowledge you as its supreme general?

Everyone was waiting for you to do something big, and you actually did something big right there.

But Tsurugi was quite happy; in fact, the feeling of having fooled everyone made him extremely pleased.

Then he began to read the contents line by line, and the camera panned up to him.

Then, when he mentioned that the new humans could be given priority in important positions in the federal government, the atmosphere turned sour.

"What nonsense is he spouting!"

A federal congressman slammed his fist on the table, pointed at the screen, and angrily said...

"How can a stone tablet found anywhere possibly be credible?!"

Undoubtedly, this is also the opinion of many people, even the universe's inhabitants who benefit from the theory find it utterly ridiculous.

Do you think you can make the inhabitants of the universe superior to others just by relying on a mere stone tablet?

That's so unrealistic!

But Tsugumi ignored these words and said in a matter-of-fact tone...

"According to this damned inscription, ha, that means I, Tsugumi, Darth Vader, DOOM, the only new human in the world—should be damned!"

"That's great! From this day forward, I am the Emperor of Earth!!!"

These near-mad words drew ridicule from countless people, especially in Dakar, the federal government headquarters, where many federal members of parliament immediately scoffed.

"A madman! Utterly ridiculous!"

"Nonsense! The power of the Federation is not a game!"

"He's just a circus clown."

"Since I am the emperor, the first thing I must do is thoroughly purge the court of corrupt officials." Dongjiang looked at the screen, a wicked smile on his face.

"Although there are some rats hiding underground that I haven't found, at least I've taken out 80% of the ones that are visible—well, that's enough, enough to make you scum tremble with fear."

He snapped his fingers, and the scene instantly changed, this time showing rows and rows of heads stacked together.

They covered almost the entire hall, bloody and cruel, regardless of age or gender.

Men, women, young and old, every head had an open-eyed expression, clearly indicating that they had suffered extreme terror and torment before their deaths!

"Iron Reaper, we're here to talk about how you hurt our prince! Not to watch you go crazy!"

Most people had no idea who Tsugumi had killed, not even a high-ranking Zeon officer like Mark Bay. But Tsugumi seemed to have heard this, and put her hand to her ear, laughing.

"Crazy? I don't think so. Come, let me introduce them to you."

He picked up a severed head and waved it in front of the camera, causing all the Dakar parliamentarians to gasp in shock.

Simply because they knew this person, and were very familiar with him!

"Ronan Mathernas, though not an official, is indeed a member of the Federation's Shadow Cabinet. The young master and future hope of the renowned Mathernas family—and this man next to him is his father, Andy Mathernas, and next to that…"

In a relaxed and cheerful tone, Tsuruga introduced the names and status of these federal aristocratic families one by one.

And the meaning he conveyed was very direct.

I killed a hundred federal magnates.jpg

"Rebellion! This is a rebellion!!!" Many members of parliament in Dakar slammed their fists on the table, their anger reaching a fever pitch.

"Where are the Federal Army? Come quick and send this guy to heaven!!!"

"Forget about Zeon! This guy poses a greater threat to humanity than Zeon! Arrest him and execute him!!!"

They were so angry and so panicked, simply because as federal congressmen, they were merely front men pushed out by these powerful families, or even members of those families themselves.

With their master dead, these dogs are naturally stressed. What they fear is the future after losing their relationship and benefits, and they are even more afraid that this unscrupulous madman will come after them!

And Tsurugi seemed to have heard their voices, revealing a joyful smile.

"I think I hear a dog barking~~~"

He spread his hands and said cheerfully

"It's okay, the dog will stop barking soon, because—"

"They're all going to die soon!"

The scene changes again

This time, however, it appeared in Dakar, the federal capital. In this political and economic center of the federation established in Africa, several things suddenly appeared, twinkling.

Zooming in, the shimmering thing was clearly—

"A nuclear bomb?!" Gop and Reibill exclaimed simultaneously.

"No, stop it!!!"

Even the federal soldiers' expressions changed drastically, but what was the point of them shouting and yelling?

These nuclear bombs that suddenly appeared over Dakar eventually fell to the ground.

A brief silence followed by a deafening roar, and a mushroom cloud burst forth in the heart of Dakar!

The entire Federal Parliament building, along with the surrounding area and half of Dakar, was engulfed in the storm, and all federal members of parliament turned to ashes in the rising mushroom cloud.
