At this moment, shatter the dimensional barrier

The area touched by the light was instantly frozen into a layer of solid ice, covering a range of more than five kilometers.

Looking down from the clouds, a small patch of icy blue area suddenly appeared within a hundred kilometers of the area shrouded in black mist.

A massive, ice-blue tornado, over thirty meters in diameter, erupted from the spear and collided with a giant serpent formed from pitch-black smoke.

Instead of a direct impact and explosion, a seemingly misty black power, like a leech, surged upstream along the ice element tornado, rapidly heading towards Aberon.

"What!" Abelang's expression changed drastically. At this moment, he could only feel the aura of death approaching. His fighting instincts made him instantly stop the release of elemental power in his body and dodge to the limit of his physical reaction.

tear-

The black shadow slashed past his left side like a sharp knife.

*Thud! Boom! Crack! Rumble!* The dark shadow pierced straight into the ground, instantly cracking it and violently excavating large chunks of soil and rocks, which exploded like fireworks.

"Ugh..." The red mist entered Aberon's field of vision. A sharp pain came from his left rib and the sound of bones breaking. The red was the blood that had been spurted out, frozen by ice elements, and then shattered by the impact into ice powder.

When his body reaches the fifth level, power surges throughout his entire body, making his body more sturdy than the strongest steel of the old era. He wouldn't be injured even if he stood still and was directly bombarded by a missile.

But now, it was sliced ​​open in an instant; this Fallen One was only at the fourth rank!

His fighting instincts didn't stop him; he reflexively swung his spear with lightning speed, scattering all the blasted dirt and rubble, then flicked the spearhead at the dark figure.

"Hahahaha!!! A fifth-tier transcendent!!! The Vice-Chancellor of the Priests' Guild!!!" Rimar roared and laughed maniacally, "As expected of the power bestowed by the great Gluttony Demon King!!! This is true divine power!!! Hahahaha—"

His fingers instantly grew like sharp blades, and he frantically attacked Aberon.

The depraved, who have lost their minds, have no logical fighting skills and are completely like mad beasts.

Close-quarters combat erupts.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

A black meteor and an ice-blue meteor moved at supersonic speeds within a range of several kilometers, constantly intertwining and colliding.

Each collision caused the ground within a radius of several hundred meters to explode, and smoke and ice fog quickly enveloped an area of ​​more than ten kilometers amidst the continuous explosions.

Soon, a mist-like fog enveloped everything. Those outside the fog could only see two meteors colliding repeatedly, the earth exploding and the rumbling tremors causing slight shaking across tens of kilometers of land.

"Is this the Deputy Chief Justice's full power? This is the first time I've seen this since the Deputy Chief Justice advanced to the fifth rank!" Anseren said, turning back as he led his teammates away, his eyes wide with shock at the battle before him.

"Roar roar roar roar roar—"

In the mist, one Fallen being after another, shrouded in black smoke, gradually became clearer; they had broken through Aberon's fighting range and were pursuing them.

"Damn it! They're too fast! You guys run! Hold out until reinforcements arrive, I have to stay behind! Otherwise we'll all be caught!" Anselm roared.

"If Chief Abelant could stay behind to cover the retreat, so can I! I will become the third of the twelve adjudicators to advance to the fifth rank!!!"

After roaring, his eyes were resolute, and he stopped as if facing death, turning around and rushing towards the Fallen Ones who were chasing him like leeches.

"Hahahaha, caught up, caught up! All superhumans deserve to die, all of them deserve to die!!!" The third-tier fallen one at the forefront laughed maniacally.

Dozens of long snakes emitting black smoke and a streak of emerald green meteors converged in an instant, and the explosions rang out one after another like firecrackers.

Although the dozens of long snakes did not reach the speed of sound, ordinary people could only see afterimages as they chased the emerald green meteors, colliding and exploding, with roars and howls mingling with the sounds of explosions echoing into the distance.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

"Ahhhhhhh-"

"Hoohoho-"

Each collision caused hundreds of meters of the ground to collapse, excavating huge amounts of soil and rocks, and the land within a kilometer or two became riddled with holes at a visible speed.

While a fourth-tier transcendent being's combat ability isn't as exaggerated as a fifth-tier one, they can still easily destroy a town.

At this moment, battles at the fourth rank and above are not only taking place on Earth.

This also happened on the 'Akame ga Kill! Planet'.

……

Tao Jing and her group, who arrived on the planet 'Akame ga Kill!', had already spread the flames of war across most of the empire within half a month. Only the capital and the northern region remained before the entire country could be completely liberated.

Tao Jing hadn't expected the spark to ignite so quickly; in just half a month, the southern, eastern, and western provinces were all engulfed in flames.

Since the speed is so fast, let's just call on all the awakened ones who have awakened their abilities to gather together and form the spearhead for the final liberation of the empire, and head straight for the capital.

The three provinces combined have a large number of Awakened Ones, exceeding one million, all of whom are Awakened Ones, so their marching speed is extremely fast.

Of these one million awakened individuals, over a thousand are second-tier transcendents who have obtained holy marks, and they are all leaders of organizations in their respective regions.

There is now only one goal: to completely destroy the empire.

At this moment, all the extraordinary beings who shared the same belief had already seen ahead the capital city, the heart of the empire built over thousands of years with the bones and flesh of their common people.

However, in front of the capital was a human wall formed by millions of soldiers, the main force of the empire that had just swept away the foreign tribes that had raided southward from the north.

At the very front of the army.

A tall woman dressed in a white naval uniform and wearing a white naval cap had one hand on her hip and the other holding a dagger. Her long, icy blue hair cascaded down to her hips, and her icy blue eyes were filled with excitement, while a hint of expectant madness played at the corners of her mouth.

She exuded an ominous killing intent, as if she alone could overwhelm the aura of millions of imperial soldiers.

"Hehehehe... The Free Army, huh? I'm really looking forward to it."

"We had just dealt with the northern barbarians when we heard the news that most of the empire had fallen, and that they possessed a large number of Imperial Arms users."

"It is said that the leader possesses godlike power. Let me see if it's worth my full effort! Don't let me down, Tao Jing!"

Chapter 188: The Capital Collapses, Instant Kill! Instant Kill! Still Instant Kill!

Imperial Palace

At this moment, there was no chaos in the palace despite the arrival of a million-strong army in the capital, as if the emperor was not anxious about the fact that most of the empire was out of control.

"Minister Ernest, can General Esdeath quell the rebellion? Should we also send General Bud?" The young emperor asked the fat man standing next to his throne with innocent eyes that had never seen the world.

"Hehehe, Your Majesty, please rest assured. These mere rebels are nothing to fear. General Esdeath leads the Empire's strongest army of three million, while the enemy only has a mere one million. The advantage lies with the Empire." Ernest, holding a chicken leg, took a bite with his mouth full of oil, grinning and showing his teeth, and said nonchalantly.

"But I heard that the rebels have mastered the method of manufacturing Imperial Arms, and there are many Imperial Arms users," the young emperor said, blinking.

"Imperial Arms? Your Majesty, you've listened to the slander of treacherous ministers. What the rebels possess isn't Imperial Arms at all, but rather a training method similar to the Imperial Fist Temple, which allows ordinary people to gain abilities similar to those of Dangerous Species." Ernest said dismissively, then laughed confidently.

"Even if an ordinary person trains to be very strong, they can't defeat an Imperial general. The rebel leader has mastered an Imperial Arm, but it's only slightly stronger than an ordinary Imperial Arm, like General Bud's."

"And the Empire's strongest Imperial Arm, the Supreme Imperial Arm that possesses the power of a god, can only be used by Your Majesty."

"No matter what rebellion has occurred over the past thousand years, as long as Your Majesty activates the Supreme Imperial Arms, the rebels will be annihilated. Hahaha."

"The Supreme Imperial Arms are proof of the Imperial Power, and are the power of Your Majesty the Emperor!"

What rebels, what cultivation methods possessing dangerous powers—all are utterly insignificant before the 'Supreme Throne - Guardian Divine Machine'.

However, it is truly regrettable that only members of the royal family can use the 'National Guardian Divine Machine'.

However, this was irrelevant to him. The young emperor had long been obedient to him, and controlling the young emperor was equivalent to controlling the 'Supreme Imperial Arms'.

“Minister Ernest is right. I, who can activate the ‘Supreme Imperial Arms,’ can quell all rebellions,” the young emperor said matter-of-factly.

"I really don't know why those rebels rebelled against me. I love my people so much, yet they don't know how to be grateful. They deserve to die."

“You’re right. The nobles of the empire are Your Majesty’s envoys, your eyes, yet they were executed by the rebels. It’s outrageous! You have every right to be furious,” Ernest said with a smile.

"Yes, that's right, so we absolutely cannot let them off the hook." The young emperor nodded, looking at the middle-aged man who had been standing to the side with his arms crossed, dressed in armor and looking meticulous.

"General Bud, I now order you to go to the outskirts of the capital to support General Esdeath and ensure that the rebels are completely defeated."

"If possible, capture the high-ranking rebels alive. I will personally interrogate them and then give an account to the people of the empire."

"Yes, Your Majesty," General Bud replied dutifully, then lowered his arm and walked out of the palace.

"Your Majesty, you truly love your people like your own children. You are as wise as the late Emperor," Minister Ernest quickly flattered, then feigned tears.

"Waaah, the late emperor, he was so wise, yet so frail, dying so young... Alas! Now that Your Majesty is so wise, the late emperor must be very pleased."

"Am I really as wise as my father?" the young emperor asked happily.

“It is indeed Your Majesty, as everyone knows, I would never lie,” Ernest said.

The late emperor? Ha! He was the one who secretly poisoned the late emperor. Otherwise, how could he have raised the young emperor into a puppet to control the empire?

"The greatest contributor to my wisdom is Minister Ernest. As long as Minister Ernest is here, the empire will surely prosper as it was a thousand years ago," the young emperor said proudly.

“As you wish, Your Majesty,” Ernest said, his smile almost creased.

It seems that once the rebels are dealt with, the empire's tax revenue can be squeezed again. Those damned lowly people still dare to rebel? That's just wishful thinking.

Anyway, those lowly people are just beasts, and the purpose of beasts is to provide wealth for the nobles.

……

"We'll reach the capital's walls in 30 kilometers. What's blocking our way now is the three million-strong imperial army led by Esdeath, along with Bud, who is also a general alongside Esdeath."

"Ultimately, the most mysterious of the Imperial Arms, known as the 'Guardian Divine Machine', which is called the 'Power of God'."

Najenda, the leader of the Night Raid and now the head of headquarters, sat on horseback, holding a telescope in her hand, and spoke with a serious expression, a wind elemental stigma on her forehead emitting a faint glow.

She received the items brought back by Leone and the others half a month ago. After obtaining the Stigmata and the shocking information, she rushed back to headquarters.

However, the things she brought back were sealed away, and she herself was imprisoned.

In that instant, she understood everything. In fact, she had always known about some of the unspeakable shady dealings at headquarters, but compared to the Empire, this was already much better.

Fortunately, she was cautious and told Leone and the others that if they did not hear from her for more than three days, they should spread the 'Source Potential' and the information they brought back throughout all areas controlled by headquarters, and also spread it among the soldiers.

In just five days, the army's fortunes were reversed.

At the moment of awakening, everyone will understand everything, and it will be clear who is on their side and who is the enemy.

All the old guys were captured in a short time, but a fierce battle still broke out. Most of the Imperial Arms users were in cahoots with those old guys, and many soldiers were killed or wounded.

Having already obtained the Stigmata, the Night Raid members were naturally elected as the new leader, leading all like-minded people to accept 'Jerok's' command.

"Is that Esdeath? The most terrifying woman in the empire, the one who single-handedly wiped out 600,000 northern alien allies!" Mine held her binoculars, a bead of cold sweat trickling from her temple into her clothes, and took a deep breath.

"It's as if it exudes an ominous killing intent. Is this the terror that has claimed the lives of hundreds of thousands of people? Compared to Chief Tao Jing, it's like two extremes."

"However, I can't tell what level she belongs to. I just feel that she is terrifying, extremely terrifying."

“It’s truly terrifying… Esdeath’s strength is definitely no less than the fifth rank. After all, I personally witnessed her create a glacier stretching for tens of kilometers on the northern border, completely sealing off the gateway for the alien races to the northern provinces.” Najenda said through gritted teeth, a hint of fear in her expression.

She had worked with Esdeath and was also a general in the Empire. As Esdeath's deputy at the time, she knew all too well Esdeath's power.

“However, Esdeath is definitely no match for Chief Tao Jing.” Najenda said confidently, “Esdeath is still human no matter how strong she is, while Chief Tao Jing is a near-god with the ‘Eye of God’.”
