Inuyasha: My job stats have no limits.

The only trump card this ally possessed was a dozen or so Imperial Arms, which were simply insufficient to change the outcome or determine the course of events.

Therefore, Bai Lan's willingness to cooperate with the operation was already an unexpected bonus in the eyes of the resistance forces.

Meanwhile, Bai Lan, who appeared harmless to everyone, was strolling through the palace with Chi Tong and Hei Tong.

Because of the invaders, the entire palace was in chaos, with the royal guards and personal guards patrolling everywhere.

However, these people were quickly and easily killed by the twin-eyed sisters, without causing the slightest ripple.

The central courtyard of the imperial palace.

Ernest was tearing into the piece of bloody red flesh in his hand, juices slowly dripping from the corners of his mouth and between his fingers. He looked less like a beast eating and more like a wild animal processing its prey.

Upon seeing the figure he expected, he looked up and said with a smile.

"So, it seems my son died at your hands?"

"You could say that."

"What a genius."

Ernest put down the red meat in his hand and said with some emotion, "He mastered an Imperial Arm on his first day in the capital, and now he can master a second Imperial Arm. Even in the history of the Empire over the past thousand years, he is a rare genius."

So what? Before long, not only will there be someone who masters a second Imperial Arm, but there will also be a prodigy who can summon Imperial Arm materials and fuse with them.

Bai Lan thought to herself, "In the original story, these people were the chosen ones who would end the empire's thousand-year rule."

"For a border boy who has escaped Esdeath's oppression, the offer I'm giving him is quite generous."

"So even now I still can't understand why you would help the rebels?"

"Should I help the rebels?"

Upon hearing this, the minister felt even more puzzled and said in a deep voice.

"I don't think you're that stupid, Bai Lan. Even if you kill me and the young emperor, without royal blood, how will you face the approaching million-strong army and Esdeath, who is eyeing you covetously!"

“If you weren’t helping the rebels, you should have had a better way… instead of taking this desperate gamble!”

However, when he was halfway through his speech, he suddenly saw the black pupils behind Bai Lan and the [March of the Dead - Eight Houses] on her waist, and his confusion turned into realization.

"I see, they wanted to control the young emperor by exploiting the unique nature of the [March of the Dead]."

"But unfortunately, the 'Supreme Imperial Arms' surpasses all other Imperial Arms. As for the dead, they cannot activate the [Guardian Machine God] through their bloodline. Do you really think the founding emperor a thousand years ago was a fool?"

“Ernest, you’re not as stupid as I thought. You were able to analyze the possible situation in an instant.”

"I did consider using the Imperial Arms to control the Emperor, but I ultimately abandoned that idea because I had other ways."

Bai Lan drew her Heavenly Feather Blade, and a layer of golden arcs of electricity rippled across its blade.

“I forgot to mention, you made a glaring mistake... You underestimated the bond between me and Esdeath.”

"You have absolutely no understanding of human nature, let alone that woman Esdeath."

Bai Lan tossed the 'Shangri-La' and 'Cross Tail' from her body to Hei Tong and Chi Tong, gesturing for them to leave and search for the little emperor.

For this emperor, the only thing to do is to kill him with one blow and never give him the chance to activate the Supreme Imperial Arms.

Akame is undoubtedly the best candidate.

After the two left, Bai Lan picked up her sword and slowly walked towards Ernest.

“Esdeath is an incredibly arrogant woman. She would never oppress someone without reason. She would only ruthlessly conquer and oppress someone she admires or likes.”

What are you trying to say?

Ernest squinted.

"Our game is called 'Conquest and Devastation.' Whoever decides who is the strongest will gain the upper hand!"

Upon hearing this, Ernest paused for a moment, then, as if suddenly realizing something, burst into laughter.

"I see, I see. As long as you control Esdeath, plus the little girl named Akame and Kurome, you no longer need that so-called 'Supreme Imperial Arms'."

"So, it seems Bud is also on your kill list?"

"of course."

At this point, Bai Lan generously revealed her plan: "Use the 'March of the Dead' to control Bud, bring the Imperial Guard under my control, and take advantage of the fact that the resistance has lost the weapon to kill Esdeath."

"Ernest, the moment I saw you, it meant that you and the resistance had lost all possibility of resistance, and the world you love is about to submit to my feet!"

"Wow, that's amazing... Nobody could have predicted that the ultimate winner would be someone as unknown as you!"

The minister clapped his hands: "I reckon even without me, it wouldn't affect your plans at all."

"nature."

After receiving Bai Lan's affirmative answer, Ernest's face instantly turned cold.

He took off his shirt, revealing an exceptionally strong physique; his almost solidified fat enhanced his resistance to blows to an unbelievable degree.

"It seems you already knew I possessed the 'Jewel-type Anti-Teigu Ireston,' so you gave the Teigu to the little girl ahead of time."

"Although I still don't know where your information comes from, I'll tell you this: if it weren't for the existence of the Imperial Arms, I would be the strongest human in the world!"

"Esdeath is no match for me. Even the Four Demons of Rasetsu, who can kill Teigu users, are just my disciples!"

Chapter 101. Go and meet your emperor, Bud!

As Ernest himself said.

If the world didn't have the Imperial Arms, he wouldn't be considered the strongest, but he would definitely be in the top tier of the world.

Therefore, the Teigu he equipped himself was named "Anti-Teigu Jewel: Ireston," which could destroy Teigu at the cost of shattering the jewel, dragging the enemy to a point where no one had any Teigu available.

In this way, he can easily defeat his enemies with his rich experience!

He trusts his own power, honed over many years, more than the power of the Imperial Arms!

"go to hell!"

A thunderous sonic boom exploded inside the hall, and the white stone floor tiles underfoot shattered, with cracks spreading rapidly in the direction of the impact.

Ernest's fist, wrapped in a gust of wind that could almost cut through skin, pressed down fiercely towards Bai Lan, his muscular body displaying an explosive power completely disproportionate to his physique.

—The Imperial Fist Temple: Hundred Crack Fist!

"Wow! That's a really strong punch!"

"Isn't that just a matter of course?"

Ernest grinned, thinking to himself, "I'm the world's number one martial artist! Weak Imperial Arms users are no match for me!"

However, just before his punch landed...

—Secret Technique: Summon the Judgment of Thunder!

Bai Lan stared at the fist so close to her face, and then her mocking voice rang out.

"But, Minister,"

"My lightning is several times more powerful than you imagine. Otherwise, why do you think Esdeath only wants to play this kind of game with me?"

The ceiling above suddenly shattered, and golden lightning descended from the sky, tearing the roof and splintered wood apart. A bolt of lightning as thick as a bucket instantly engulfed Ernest.

"Ah ah ah ah."

The massive body twisted in the lightning, gradually disintegrating from its limbs, turning into dust like paper being licked by flames.

Even so, the ministers continued to roar.

"This is...my empire, you traitors..."

No matter how much he screamed, he couldn't change the fact that he was about to die.

The minister's voice grew weaker and weaker until his obese body vanished completely in the thunder.

When the lightning subsided, all that remained was a huge crater.

Bai Lan didn't even glance at him, and continued walking forward without saying anything.

In short, start with the ultimate move and instantly kill.

If Bud were here, Bai Lan would still be wary, since it would be difficult to determine a winner in the short term, and it could easily give the empire a chance to survive, allowing the young emperor to activate the Supreme Imperial Arms.

And now,

With most of the palace's forces drawn away by the night raid, there was nothing to fear.

When they arrived at the emperor's bedroom...

Corpses littered the ground, and blood slowly pooled along the cracks in the floor tiles.

Kuroko was sitting atop a mountain of corpses, eating biscuits to replenish her lost strength.

Upon seeing Bai Lan approaching, she raised her hand in greeting.

"It's solved! In short, it was extremely hard work!"

"You've worked hard. I'll give you a good reward later."

"Great!"

Black Eyes cheered with delight.

If Akame were here, she would definitely press Kurome's head down and make her quickly refuse this so-called blessing and reward.

Because only she knew best that the reward Bai Lan mentioned would leave a very deep and unforgettable memory for Hei Tong.

This was also the first time Akame had sensed the existence of Heaven. She fell into a coma, woke up, fell into a coma, woke up, and repeated this cycle countless times.

Until the blissful kingdom of heaven comes to an end...

Her flat little belly gradually became bloated without her even realizing it.

Where is your sister?

"in."

Bai Lan nodded and slowly walked to the palace. Dozens of alien girls lay sprawled on the bed, their throats neatly cut open, and bright red blood slowly flowed down their necks, staining the originally white sheets red.

The young emperor was pierced through the chest by Murasame's blade, pinning him to the wall.

To Bai Lan's surprise, the young emperor was much thinner than when she last saw him. He was almost just a skeleton wrapped in robes, with sunken cheeks and wrists so thin they were almost transparent.
