Inuyasha: My job stats have no limits.

Not to mention Akame is there too.

Therefore, the young emperor is doomed!

General Bud was destined to be bogged down by Night Raid, who was being used as cannon fodder, and he was unable to leave the battlefield that had been prepared for him to support the young emperor.

Once the operation is successful...

An empire that no longer has any Supreme Imperial Arms available, an imperial system that is now just an empty shell, is easy to overthrow!

That's it, we're really safe now!

"Announcement to the whole world!"

Just then, a thunderous voice emanated from the mouth of the [Guardian God of the Nation], resounding throughout the heavens and earth.

"The last emperor, Landric, knowing his own incompetence, led General Bud to surrender to me."

"Thus, the Imperial Guard and the supreme Imperial Arms have fallen into my control..."

"I hereby declare the Second Empire established!"

"If you still want to struggle like this, then you can only experience the power of the Supreme Imperial Arms firsthand!"

As soon as the words were spoken, a huge explosion followed, accompanied by the rise of a mushroom cloud. The earth was uprooted at that moment, and even the distant clouds churned and surged.

"Today, the world is in my grasp. In the name of the Emperor of the Second Empire, I command: World, submit to me!"

Chapter 103 The birth of a new emperor deserves thunderous applause.

"What? What's that?"

"No way, could it really be that guy?!"

"Bai Lan used the 'Guardian Mech God,' which means..."

"Impossible, absolutely impossible! How could the 'Guardian God of War' be at his service? He has no royal blood at all... Wait, could he be a member of the royal family?"

After the mushroom cloud slowly rose, the entire resistance stronghold descended into chaos.

Those nobles who had been arguing heatedly about their interests just moments before fell silent.

Only Najendan, after regaining her senses, couldn't help but sigh, "It really is that guy's voice." Everyone thought that this guy was a fool who only cared about his immediate interests and didn't understand the big picture at all.

Now it seems that this guy clearly has an exaggerated source of information and completely treats everyone else like fools.

Therefore, it is quite ridiculous that this group of people were arguing over the 'emperor' position, because while they were making a fuss, someone had already crossed the ladder and taken control of the empire.

The attack by the [Guardian Mech] was merely a deterrent, intended to instill fear in the world.

Najenda gave a helpless smile, but no matter what, they had already come this far, and no one could back down now.

Even among these nobles.

"How can we allow a bunch of traitors to become kings and emperors if we don't approve of such an absurd thing!"

Najendan slammed her hand on the table, interrupting everyone's thoughts, and shouted sternly.

"We must purge the rebels from the former empire!"

Regardless, a winner must emerge from both sides!

Only in this way can the chains called 'war' be completely broken.

Once the rebels escape back to the North, it's uncertain when this war will end!

Therefore, the rational Najenda chose to lead everyone into the attack of the Supreme Imperial Arms.

-

Anning Road.

The cult leader rested his cheek on his hand, a hint of a smile flashing in his clear eyes.

"Indeed, it was right."

"It is precisely because he is someone from the future whom I cannot see at all that he is able to forge a new path for everyone in a hopeless wilderness."

"That brought me back to my former enjoyment."

"Ah, humans, these creatures are so interesting. I never want to see the future of the world become so boring."

Amidst whispers and murmurs, someone knocked anxiously on the door.

"Master, something terrible has happened! The Emperor is dead, and a new person has emerged claiming to be the 'Second Empire.' He has not only taken control of the Supreme Imperial Arms, but even General Budo has joined his ranks..."

"There's nothing wrong with it, is there, Cuilian?"

The cult leader stretched, his tone still gentle: "Then let's offer our congratulations to our new emperor in the name of the Peaceful Way. And let him know that I will personally lead an army of 100,000 to wipe out the rebels."

"what?"

Luo Cuilian looked bewildered. Weren't we on the same side as the resistance? Why are we suddenly going to attack the resistance?

Only the cult leader chuckled softly; the birth of a new emperor should have been met with thunderous applause.

Anning Road will be the first choice!

-

"That can't be right?!"

Meanwhile, in the heart of the capital, atop the [Guardian Machine God], the crimson-eyed guardian of Bai Lan finally realized what was happening.

It should have been the rebels who overthrew the empire, so how did it turn into Bai Lan overthrowing the empire and establishing a second empire?

The script the boss gave me is wrong!

"There's no need to worry, sister."

Black Eyes stood on tiptoe, laboriously pressing on Red Eyes' shoulder, and said earnestly, "At least if the captain becomes emperor, we can still be high-ranking officials to play around with. If the rebels really succeed, it would be a good thing if your sharp blade isn't purged afterward."

"is it?"

Akame tilted her head; she didn't understand any of this and only knew how to obey orders.

Bai Lan didn't care what Chi Tong was thinking.

He leaped down from the sky and sat firmly on the throne, causing Bud in the hall to immediately kneel on one knee.

"Congratulations on His Majesty's succession to the Empire."

Bai Lan: ?

What are you saying, you caterpillar?

Bai Lan didn't know if this guy was genuinely stupid or just pretending, but whatever, there was no need to keep exploring such a pointless question.

Although he wanted to ask himself why his ears and silver-white hair didn't look like those of royalty, he was very worried that Bud would say, "You underestimate the late emperor. Whether it's a human or a beast, the late emperor did it all the same."

So he issued the order directly.

"My great general, continue to suppress the entire night raid."

"As you wish!"

Bud put one hand to his chest, his attitude humble.

The Second Empire was established, the old calendar was abolished, and the first year of the new calendar began.

The new emperor convened a court meeting and imprisoned all those who had sided with the old emperor and his ministers, awaiting a public trial.

He then ordered the execution of Ernest (an alchemical construct), the very source of the empire's past corruption.

Before everyone's eyes, this powerful minister who had ruled the empire for many years was stripped of his clothes, wrapped in linen, soaked in grease, and hung upside down on a wooden stake in the middle of the street before being set on fire.

Flames slowly rose along the soaked fabric, and thick smoke spread in all directions accompanied by piercing screams.

This 'sky lantern banquet' will last for three days and three nights!

The crowd that had been thronging the streets erupted in excitement and fervor at this moment. Years of anger and resentment were effectively relieved, and they gained a greater sense of approval for the new emperor.

Immediately afterwards, the emperor issued his first edict, exempting all taxes for the next three years.

There's really nothing we can do about it. The previous emperors and their ministers had collected taxes for ninety years, so even if Bai Lan wanted to collect them, she wouldn't be able to.

The second decree granted a general amnesty.

All those who had been arrested and imprisoned for resisting ministers, regardless of the severity of their crimes, were released without exception.

The whole country rejoiced, and countless people praised the new emperor's fairness.

Even Anningdao cheered at this moment, acknowledging the legitimacy of the new emperor. Subsequently, its army continued to advance northward, intending to cooperate with Esdeath's expeditionary force and royal guard to completely annihilate the rebels.

However, the rebels naturally refused to recognize the new emperor, and declared that the capital was now full of traitors and rebels who deserved to be killed by everyone!

So the rebels set off overnight, hoping to seize the last opportunity to kill the new emperor while his power base was unstable.

No one hesitated, because this was the last chance!

The second day of the first year of the Gregorian calendar.

General Bude remained in his position and led his legion to massacre the remnants of the previous dynasty.

More than 300 nobles were arrested, involving tens of thousands of people, and nearly one million gold coins were eventually paid into the national treasury.

Akame, Kurome, Ran, Borus, Will, and others all rose several ranks and entered the ranks of high-ranking generals in the empire.

Chelsea is the leader of the Imperial Assassination Society, with Mato and Suzuka as her deputy leaders.

Leone was the former captain of the Thirteenth Division of the Traitors.

And on the third day of the first year of the Gregorian calendar.

The emperor's disappearance led many of the surrendered ministers to speculate, and sure enough, His Majesty was of royal blood; he couldn't hold back for more than two days, his lust was truly unparalleled.

The North, above the snow line.

This is a mountain ridge that is covered in ice all year round, with temperatures so low that even breathing can condense into frost.

What is a place that most people would hardly stay in for long is Esdeath's favorite place to stay.

She sat alone in the snow-capped mountains, her long, icy-blue hair blending into the distant snow line. She propped her cheek up with her hand, gazing listlessly into the distance.
