Inuyasha: My job stats have no limits.

It should be noted that the materials for the other Imperial Arms, namely those super dangerous species, were killed by the Empire a thousand years ago.

However, the Cross Tail is different. Its material is not the complete corpse of a super dangerous species. Its core material is merely the hair that was knocked off by the Cloud Dragon during its expedition a thousand years ago.

The owner of this hair is still alive!

It once dominated the East China Sea, so much so that even the founding emperor of the empire could only reach its edge with his army. Now, it seems that because of Bai Lan's actions, this overlord of the East China Sea has reappeared in this shattered world.

The giant dragon that kept circling in the secret chamber raised its head and let out a silent roar.

At the same time, an almost overlapping response came from above the mansion.

?

Bai Lan paused for a moment, then blurted out a phrase about the essence of Chinese culture.

Dude, your hair was turned into Imperial Arms by the founding emperor of the empire, and you remained indifferent. You've been used by Imperial Arms users for hundreds of years, and you've pretended not to see it.

I simply want to control the Imperial Arms made from your hair.

Can't you stand it?

Chapter 97 Death is Coming, River of Death, Dance of the Dead

It's a big game!

This was Bai Lan's first thought: they had to run away.

He then realized that he was in the capital city, and that the Cloud Dragon, as a super dangerous species, could cause extremely exaggerated destruction with every move it made.

As for Bude and the ministers...

Such an event as the arrival of a dragon in the clouds in the capital must be suppressed as soon as possible. Not only could its attack easily affect the palace and harm the young emperor, but if it is delayed, it will also greatly diminish the current prestige of the royal family.

The arrival of the dragon in the clouds at this moment was almost like actively building momentum for the resistance!

Even fate seemed to favor the rebels!

Above the Thirteenth Division's mansion.

A colossal dragon was weaving through the clouds, its scales gleaming with a silvery sheen, its whiskers and mane swaying gently with the air currents.

Countless people were stunned by this scene and stared blankly at the sky.

"What...is this?!"

"Is even Heaven going to destroy the empire?"

The dragon in the clouds, stretching its body among the clouds, sensed the location of its own fur and also noticed the person who wanted to defile it.

It couldn't help but let out a low roar, the sound wave tearing apart the nearby clouds. The next moment, the dragon's breath swept in, instantly engulfing the territory of the Thirteenth Division of the Betrayer.

However, within the dragon's breath, purplish-black lightning flashed.

A nearly thirty-meter-tall, super-dangerous creature made entirely of white skeletons, Destagul, used its body to completely block the dragon's breath.

Broken bones scattered in the air, and the edges of the bones kept crumbling. The whole body seemed to be melting, but under the control of the black eyes, Destagur remained standing in place.

"You scum, get back to your East China Sea! The capital is a place where a beast like you can lay your feet!"

General Bud's roar pierced through the thunder, carrying an almost violent killing intent.

Lightning flashed all around, transforming into layers of electric nets that crashed down towards the dragon in the clouds, turning most of the sky a blinding blue-white.

Behind him, the Imperial Guard, composed of the Ministers and Envoys, also formed ranks. Countless attacks rose from the ground, like birds emerging from the forest, surging towards the dragon-shaped silhouette that was churning in the clouds.

Hit by countless attacks, even the dragon in the clouds couldn't help but let out a mournful howl.

Next, tens of thousands of ordinary soldiers also used their guns and shells to continuously bombard the dragon in the clouds.

And there is a constant stream of low-level dangerous species that have been kept in captivity.

The empire's true strength was on full display at this moment.

The former ruins of the Thirteenth Division Betrayer's mansion have been taken over by 'Destagur,' a super dangerous species that has been dead for a long time, and is now protecting the three people beneath him.

Red eyes, black eyes, and white mist!

"You'll have to pay for it, this is an extremely dangerous species!"

Kuroko felt a pang of heartache as she watched the Super Dangerous Species shatter continuously; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it her trump card.

“Naturally, we’ll use this dragon from now on.”

"Okay! It's a deal!"

Bai Lan said no more. He slightly spread his five fingers, palm facing upwards, and the Thunder Roar Cannon, which had been condensed to its extreme, surged in his palm into a golden pillar of light, which then shot up into the clouds.

At the same time, blue and white lightning tore through the clouds and crashed down from the sky, falling in almost perfect sync.

Two bolts of lightning, one above and one below, converged in the very center of the clouds, trapping the dragon-shaped figure that was churning within them.

The Imperial Guards on the ground also opened fire at the same time, and countless streams of fire, a mixture of armor and guns, rained down on the dragon shadow that was no longer able to move.

Thunder and gunfire clashed, engulfing the massive dragon's body layer by layer, until the light completely obscured its outline, illuminating the entire sky.

Before everyone could rejoice, the dragon in the clouds unleashed another breath attack, instantly turning thousands of soldiers to ashes.

Upon seeing this, General Bude was even more furious.

[Thor's Wrath] was almost pushed to its limit, with dark clouds pressing down overhead and lightning flashing through the clouds.

—Thor has arrived!

—Summon the Judgment of Thunder!

Bai Lan also launched her own offensive in coordination with Bu De!

Two bolts of lightning struck down from the depths of the clouds one after the other, hitting the dragon's body and back. The dragon's scales shattered and scattered, and large amounts of bright red blood rained down.

The massive body lost its balance under the successive heavy blows and plummeted rapidly from the sky to the ground. It barely managed to regain its footing just before it was about to smash through the city walls and houses below.

In that brief moment of suspended air, a slender figure leaped from the rooftop, blade pointing downwards, using the momentum of the fall to completely shift her weight onto Murasame.

The sharp blade pierced through the flesh ripped open by the lightning, and the curse poison from [One-Hit Kill - Murasame] surged into the body of the dragon in the clouds along the tip of the blade, while obscure runes spread rapidly along the patterns on its surface.

The dragon in the clouds did not give Akame a second chance to strike. In its intense pain, it suddenly swung its body, and the enormous kinetic energy sent Akame flying.

Bai Lan stepped forward and hugged Chi Tong.

"Have the spatial coordinates been set?"

"Um..."

"That's enough."

Upon hearing this, Bai Lan nodded. If the Cloud Dragon, which controlled the airspace, wanted to escape, it would be very easy.

But now that we have spatial coordinates, no matter where this guy escapes, Bai Lan can appear beside him with a thought.

However, recalling 'spatial coordinates', Akame asked curiously.

"You can already use the second Imperial Arm?"

"No, it's just that the 'Cross Tail' underwent a change and suddenly awakened its spatial abilities."

Chitong: .....

Upon hearing this, Akame silently stared at Bai Lan, her expression seemingly saying, "Do I look like an idiot to you?"

She wasn't particularly curious; she didn't have to say if she didn't want to.

"How come that guy isn't dead yet? Even a super dangerous species should die after being stabbed by my sister, right?"

Black Eyes hesitated, unsure of what to do.

"No, its vitality is too strong, suppressing the curse poison."

Akame looked at the dragon in the clouds high above: "But if we can't find a good way, this layer of curse poison will remain in its body forever, constantly absorbing its vigorous life force!"

"It seems there are subtle differences between even the most dangerous species."

Kuroko sighed with emotion; the 'Destagur' in her hand was killed while it was in hibernation, with extraordinary ease...

However, the dragon in the clouds dares to attack the capital alone.

The difference is greater than that between a person and a dog.

This time, they suffered a barrage of attacks from Budo and Bailan, Murasame in Akame's hands, withstood the attack from the Imperial Guard formed by the Imperial Guards, and were hit by tens of thousands of artillery shells.

If it were any other super dangerous species, it would have died countless times. However, the Dragon in the Clouds did not fall and continued to roar in the clouds.

This vitality is terrifying.

Bai Lan sighed inwardly, no wonder the founding emperor led his army to attack but still failed to kill the dragon in the clouds.

...Even the original Imperial Arms, such as [Severing All Things - Soul Erosion], were simply unable to kill this monster.

"Roar!"

The dragon in the clouds roared, its enormous eyes fixed on the people of the capital, filled with hatred.

However, before it could continue spewing dragon breath...

Not far away, an even larger figure slowly rose from the center of the palace, its cloak cascading down like a curtain of sky, amidst billowing dust that only covered the figure's calves.

It didn't move immediately, but just stood there quietly, as if the person inside was familiarizing themselves with the operation of the mecha.

—The supreme Imperial Arm, [Guardian Machine God - Supreme Throne]!

This is the foundation upon which the empire has stood for a thousand years, and it is also the last trump card of the ministers and the young emperor!

With a single strike, even ordinary super dangerous species could not withstand it; it was several times stronger than the combined attack of Bai Lan and Bu De.

However, such terrifying power also comes at a significant cost.

The High Throne is almost immobile; its size and structure dictate that it can only exist as a fixed turret, and each attack requires an immeasurable amount of energy.

This is even more expensive than Esdeath's frequent wars... Even the current national treasury can't support just a few attacks.

As the [Guardian God of the Nation - Supreme Throne] slowly turned its massive head to gaze upon the dragon, the dragon in the clouds let out a very soft whimper, then tucked its body away and disappeared into the clouds.

"He's going to start building high walls..."

Bai Lan sighed softly.

"Hahaha, so what if they're called super dangerous species? Under the glory of our empire, they can only tuck their tails between their legs and leave!"
