“Very good. If you can’t portray the feeling of a tyrant, then try the role of a tyrannical ruler. This time there shouldn’t be any problems.”
"My two concubines, come, I am about to give you a special baptism!"
Bai Lan helped the two favored concubines to their feet.
His Highness General Bude finally snapped out of his daze. His face, which had always been calm, was now filled with anger and killing intent. Lightning flickered on the edge of his armor, emitting a low hum.
He wanted to take action, but he still needed to confirm one thing with Bai Lan.
Tell me, where is His Majesty!
"It's hanging in his bedroom, but there's no need to go. Since I'm already sitting here, he naturally shouldn't be alive."
"If I had known, I should have erased you completely the first time we met!"
"My great general, there is no medicine for regret in this world."
With a low roar, Bud transformed into a blinding bolt of lightning and charged towards the throne.
However, he had only gone halfway when he suddenly stopped.
It wasn't because someone stopped him, but because the entire palace trembled violently at that moment.
That colossal object, which almost stood in the sky, was once considered the ultimate Imperial Arm that could threaten the entire world, and it has been activated!
——【Guardian Machine God - Supreme Throne】!
Its gaze swept over the entire palace, ignoring all the fighting and killing, and landed on the figure on the throne.
At that moment, Bai Lan, along with Chi Tong and Hei Tong beside him, also floated up, detached from the ground, as if drawn by that gaze, and were rising to a higher place.
Bai Lan looked down at Bude and asked calmly.
"Tell me, Bud!"
"As the Great General of the Empire, what is the true nature of your blind loyalty? Is it loyalty to your bloodline, loyalty to the royal family, or loyalty to the Empire itself?"
"...I."
At this moment, Bud was like an incompetent husband, watching helplessly as the [Guardian God of the Nation] guided Bai Lan, but dared not make a move.
All he could do was repeatedly question in his heart why the guardian deity who was supposed to protect the empire was being driven by people on the border.
Bai Lan's words continued to come.
"Loyal to the bloodline of a thousand years, that supreme Imperial Arm is your sovereign. It has awakened at this moment and is looking down upon this palace with a new will."
"Loyalty to the royal family, but now the royal bloodline has been completely severed, and you can only hold the collar of loyalty in your hand!"
"Loyalty to the empire, but the empire's thousand-year rule has ended, and only the fallen wreckage is being rebuilt!"
"Come on, tell me, Bud, what exactly is your loyalty!"
No matter which option Bud chooses, the destination is always Bai Lan!
"My loyalty... Could it be that Your Majesty Bai Lan... you are a descendant of the late emperor?"
Bud's tiger-like eyes suddenly widened.
Yes, I should have known sooner... Fortunately, it's not too late. Now I know what the late emperor was thinking!
He had long known that the empire would eventually fall into the hands of treacherous officials, so he deliberately sent His Majesty Bai Lan to the border to live in seclusion among the common people, so that he could wait for the right opportunity to return to the throne when the empire was in danger... to vindicate the empire with royal blood and save it from the brink of disaster!
Bai Lan: ?
Bai Lan, who was still excited, looked at Bud with a blank expression. Damn caterpillar, why do you have such a good imagination!
I asked you about loyalty, what did you say back?
I should have just killed this guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes; it would have been much easier to control him using [March of the Dead].
This was the initial plan.
But to Bai Lan's great delight, the moment he sat on the throne, just as he had expected, the long-dormant class panel popped up with a new one.
This is also why they gave up on killing Bud, because there was a better way to resolve the current situation.
[Occupation: Supreme Lord]
[Level: 1/5 (1/1000)]
[Attribute Bonus: Each level provides 5 points of Physical Strength, 7 points of Mental Strength, and 6 points of Energy]
2. Unlock the job talent - Imperial Arms Affinity
3. Unlock the professional skill - Forty-Eight Pillars Projection Resonance
4. Unlock the profession specialization - Royal Symbiosis
5. Unlock the special talent – The Supreme Empire
[Job Change Path: ???]
-
[Imperial Arm Affinity: When touched, the Imperial Arm will automatically adapt, allowing you to wield any weapon and use any blade.]
[Forty-Eight Pillars - Projection Resonance: Projects images of Imperial Arms you have collected or created]
[Symbiotic Reign: As long as the empire has not collapsed, the user cannot be completely erased. Injuries will not heal automatically, but existence itself will not end.]
【Supreme Empire: Forcibly overlays the landscapes deep within the soul onto reality. When you unleash "Supreme Empire," the Imperial Arms users and Imperial Arms users belonging to the empire, as well as those you conquer, will appear in the domain as phantom images of their wielders.】
Bai Lan looked at the panel with a sense of relief. This... was the profession he had always longed for!
However, the requirements to formally step into the realm of the "Supreme Lord" are far more stringent than imagined: understanding the secrets of the Imperial Arms, collecting them, building a power base, overthrowing the Empire, and slaying the young emperor...
Fortunately, these were all things that had to be done, and Bai Lan had already met all the requirements.
Now, through [Teigu Affinity], he has mastered the Supreme Teigu, which is powerful enough to kill a Super Dangerous Species in one strike!
A nuclear bomb is coming!
All previous plans were abandoned.
Ignoring Bude inside the hall, Bai Lan led Chi Tong and Hei Tong to the top of the [Guardian Machine God].
Under its control, the Supreme Imperial Arm, modeled after the face of the founding emperor of the empire, slowly turned its massive head.
"Announcement to the whole world!"
Bai Lan finished speaking calmly.
A sudden orange light shone from the depths of the eyes of the [Guardian God of the Nation], gathering terrifying energy that instantly condensed into a beam of light capable of piercing the sky, falling straight towards the distant mountains on the edge of the empire.
In an instant, the entire mountain exploded under the impact, and a huge mushroom cloud slowly rose from the center of the explosion, rolling and spreading towards the sky.
The enormous roar was like an apocalyptic natural disaster, almost jolting the entire capital city awake from its slumber.
This is a salute to celebrate the birth of the king.
-
Royal Garden.
"That is?"
Mine and Hill, who were struggling to hold out against the siege of the Imperial Guard's army, stopped moving almost at the same moment.
The mushroom cloud slowly rising in the distance painted half the sky a deep orange-red.
"There's no mistake, that's an attack from the Supreme Imperial Arms!"
Hill's body trembled; he simply couldn't imagine how he could possibly withstand such a cataclysmic attack.
What exactly is going on...?
The two were utterly confused. The truth was right beside them, yet they had no way to uncover it.
What will become of our world?!
-
"Ah...this is His Majesty of the Empire, no mistake, absolutely no mistake...only His Majesty possesses the power to activate the Supreme Imperial Arms!"
Bud raised his head, his face filled with ecstasy as he experienced the immense power belonging to the Supreme Imperial Arms.
I, Budo, am loyal only to His Majesty who can activate the Supreme Imperial Arms!
And at this moment, His Majesty the Emperor ascended his rightful throne tonight!
And I will protect His Majesty and eliminate all rebellious traitors!
Empires will never perish!
They will rule the next millennium!
-
A temporary stronghold for the resistance.
The revolutionary army's current high command is holding a meeting overnight.
...But rather than a meeting, it was more like this group of people were already looking forward to how to divide up the empire's resources after its collapse.
Therefore, the group argued heatedly.
"Without me, none of you could have joined the resistance. Only I should be the ruler of the empire!"
"Bullshit! If I hadn't forced the rebel leader to his death, you wouldn't have a role to play; it should be me!"
"Shut up, you bunch of insects! I've contributed both effort and manpower. If anyone should be emperor, it should be me!"
"Let's not fight amongst ourselves. Since we can't reach a conclusion by arguing, let's just make the emperor sit on the throne once a year."
"Fine, I'll be the first one. After that, I'll make all the scum wear explosive collars and become slaves. What right do these mere scum slaves have to breathe the same sky as us nobles?!"
Najenda coldly observed everything, pondering how to eliminate these insects after overthrowing the empire...
But now he has no power left, and even a night raid would likely result in his complete annihilation...
No one paid any attention to Najendangan on the edge; all the nobles were already intoxicated by the impending victory.
In their view, the plan was flawless.
With Bai Lan's [Shangri-La] in hand, she can bypass the city defenses and personal guards and go directly to the location of the young emperor.
Leone, a warrior who harbors a deep-seated hatred for the Empire, would still behead the young emperor even if he lost his human will and became a super dangerous species.
