The wheels screeched on the asphalt road, the shadows inside the car were blurred, and it seemed to be preparing to overtake.
A warning siren rang out, echoing through the air. The agents ahead spotted the vehicle and immediately notified them: "Special vehicle, keep away!"
"Special vehicles, keep away from unauthorized personnel!"
But those people seemed not to hear, their faces expressionless. Just as they approached Xue Dinglu's luxury car, the barrels of their guns gleamed coldly in the sunlight.
"boom!"
The trigger was pulled hard, and bullets, like living arrows, broke free from the barrel, slicing through the air and hurtling towards the driver's seat of the luxury car.
The glass shattered under the gunshot, like a spiderweb of ice on a winter lake, with the wind howling and tiny shards of glass flying everywhere.
The girl's scream rang out at the same time as the gunshot.
Only Xue Dinglu, the driver, truly breathed a sigh of relief at this moment.
The intelligence was correct, and that proves a lot.
"Ah Xing, protect your companions," Xue Dinglu said.
"Okay, teacher."
The next moment, Xue Daolu skillfully shoved the control stick into the loser's arms, and immediately flipped himself onto the roof of the car. He saw the giant off-road vehicle next to him fighting with the vehicle leading the way, and a rocket launcher in their hands.
This kind of thing can't kill a monarch, even if it's just at the level of the original body. So what do they really rely on?
The rocket launcher was fired, and Xue Dinglu immediately activated his Holy Shield spell, striking the lower part of the rocket launcher at a perfect angle, causing the trajectory to rise and resulting in a perfect deflection.
"Boom!" The rocket launcher exploded in the sky, and the attackers seemed to be stunned for a moment. How could someone with such poor manners be an assassin?
But at this moment, news of Odysseus arrived again.
"I'm in the Prime Minister's bed right now. He's suspicious. Don't go to the Petronas Towers. The assassin who attacked you was a decoy, a feint to lower your guard."
"The Prime Minister doesn't know how to communicate with Super Beast No. 1. Their real killer is a flying behemoth 8000 meters above the sky. When you come to the top of the Twin Towers for a meeting, the flying behemoth will quickly swoop down, crash into the Twin Towers, and kill you completely."
No, how come you're in the Prime Minister's bed again?
Chapter 120: And there's more, I am the true monarch!
You wouldn't be going to end up in the Emperor's bed tomorrow, would you?
I wonder what that scoundrel Hughes was up to back in the palace. Maybe he got caught cheating on the Prime Minister's wife in bed, and then, without a second thought, stripped the Prime Minister naked and had a one-night stand with her saying, "Don't worry, I have the same thing on both of us!"
I was terrified by the way the Greeks played.
Although his methods were unethical, he did obtain the information that Xue Dinglu desperately needed.
The Prime Minister and Super Beast No. 1 have a cooperative relationship to some extent, but it is unclear how he orders No. 1.
But it's clear that there are problems at the top, or at least some of the people involved.
He felt as if he had arrived at the Southern Song Dynasty's imperial court, where there were pro-surrender and pro-war factions. The pro-surrender faction wanted to kill him and could even collude with foreign enemies, while the pro-war faction, although wanting to protect him, was utterly incompetent.
Crouching on the roof of the car, I felt the fierce wind blowing through my hair and cheeks, and saw the gang across from me who were being used as pawns without realizing it, looking at the bewildered and confused expressions on their faces.
It's likely that the gang members who launched the attack didn't know he was "Monarch" and only thought he was an agent escorting an ordinary person, which is why they took the risk.
If they knew Xue's identity, they wouldn't have prepared just one rocket launcher; at least multiple launchers, or even a 76mm vehicle-mounted anti-tank gun, would have been needed to be effective, and that would only be against the original body, not his state as a possessed extraterrestrial demon.
"boom!"
The agents in the vehicle ahead retaliated, gunshots rang out, and the driver of the SUV screamed in agony.
The SUV began to shake uncontrollably, went completely out of control, and crashed into the guardrail.
“Ah Xing…” Xue Luding began, and the boy instantly understood what Xue Luding meant.
The next moment, a stream of water instantly transformed into a water blade, cleaving the entire car in half. Blood and screams instantly filled the entire car seat, and the water, mixed with body tissue and blood, slowly seeped into the ground.
Looking at the devastation in the distance, Xue Dinglu continued to ponder.
If you were attacked without any intelligence, what would your next reaction be?
Are you going to turn around and leave?
No, I'll go no matter what; it's just a simple case of rebellious psychology.
Taking advantage of this psychology, he will definitely go to the Twin Towers.
That was the real killing move: a flying behemoth weighing thousands of tons descended from the sky.
Now that we know the enemy's plan, then...
……
"Your Majesty, the meeting is ready." An agent respectfully opened the car door for Xue Luding, and even professionally put on white gloves when opening the door.
A luxury car riddled with bullet holes stopped in the plaza in front of the Twin Towers. Xue Dinglu got out of the car and led the three children into the Twin Towers.
"Okay, take the car to get it fixed before my meeting ends." Xue Dinglu casually handed the keys to the agent.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Looking up, I saw the world's tallest buildings, twin towers with nearly 100 floors.
This is the political center of the Human Alliance, a rest area for high-ranking officials and noble families. The outer ring around the twin towers is the most prosperous commercial street in the entire capital.
If a high-speed flying object were to crash into this place, in that instant, more than half of the administrative functions of the entire capital would be paralyzed, and the surrounding economy and population would also suffer a major blow.
So, what's the next step? To seize power?
The human alliance in this world is a constitutional monarchy with a multi-power structure. The royal family is responsible for administration and overall planning, the parliament is responsible for legislation and decision-making on major meetings, and the prime minister is responsible for the military and external urban planning.
With most of the parliament abolished, who benefits the most?
Emperor? Or perhaps the prime minister who is currently being ultimately humiliated by Odysseus?
While Xue was pondering, a final note appeared in the space of consciousness where Birdman A had originally been.
"By the time you receive this information, I have already returned to the Underworld. My original plan was to climb into the Emperor's bed, but I discovered that there is no Emperor here at all."
The real emperor died seven years ago, and the current 'emperor' is a complete imposter, while the empress has held power for seven years.
The previous intelligence was incorrect. The Prime Minister is the Empress's man, and the Empress holds a little girl in her hands. That little girl is the younger sister of Super Beast No. 1, and this is the bargaining chip that allows her to command Super Beast No. 1. At the same time, a terrifying 'artificial Super Beast King' is being cultivated underground in the capital. We have not yet been able to obtain more information about the Super Beast King.
The behemoth serum was indeed not human technology, but rather technology that the Royal Research Institute accidentally discovered and deciphered from a crashed spaceship.
Listen to me, Cydileus, there is a great net here that covers the whole world. This foolish queen is just a pawn in the net. She thinks she is in control of the whole situation, but she is just a fool whose mind is influenced by power. She even secretly killed her own son because the prince was fighting with her for power.
Finally, the body you currently in is that of a distant relative of the Empress.
Xue Dinglu closed his eyes, and the next moment, he summoned Birdman A back. However, Odysseus was no longer inside. All that remained were tattered armor plates covered in gunpowder and magic, with numerous wounds. One could imagine that Odysseus had probably gone through a fierce battle.
Even the Birdman armor on the panel displays a message saying "Damaged, repairing itself".
It must have been tough on him, this hero who uses his brain to gather intelligence.
Although his methods of obtaining intelligence were despicable, that was just the kind of person Odysseus was. He had no morality or pity; he only sought to obtain intelligence and implement plans in the most efficient way possible.
Now, the information he has provided is sufficient to support Xue's next move.
"Thanks, you scoundrel Xiu Si." Xue Luding laughed, the intelligence in his hand turning to ashes.
"Teacher, what's wrong?" Wu Li noticed the change in Xue Dinglu's mood and asked.
"No, it's nothing. Come in with me. This internal farce can now be put to an end."
The three children, one adult and three children, entered the conference room. All three seemed a little nervous, but the unlucky one was the best-behaved, probably because he kept his head down at all times.
The other two men's eyes darted around to varying degrees, especially Yun Xing, who seemed to recognize someone among the councilors—the head of the noble family he worked for.
Inside the council chamber, solemnity and silence coexisted. Members of parliament sat upright in high-backed chairs, dressed in black formal attire. The most eye-catching feature was a sculpture—a bust of a great sage, with the stone-carved face meticulously detailed, even the details of the beard clearly visible.
In a place like this, there are even statues of old people...
Just as Xue Dinglu was still sighing, a voice came.
"Lord Joel Shu was attacked on the way, so it seems our intelligence was correct," a councilor said.
Then, the entire meeting instantly became serious. Another person looked at Xue Dinglu, who seemed to be the chairman of the council. He bowed slightly. He was wearing a well-tailored suit with a neat and straight line and a moderate build. However, the confidence he exuded from the inside out made it impossible to ignore the details about his appearance.
“Our intelligence is sound, Lord Joel Shue. If you want your students to participate in this struggle, you can keep them here, but I still suggest you let them leave.”
Xue Dinglu simply gestured for him to continue, ignoring him.
Seeing Xue Dinglu's nonchalant attitude, the Speaker of the Council was slightly angry, but he quickly suppressed it: "Your Majesty, you may regret this."
"Continue, and remember, I am the monarch!"
These words startled the Speaker of the Council. His anger visibly surged, and he seemed ready to smash the door open and storm out. But he managed to hold back and said, "Gentlemen, according to my investigation, the Emperor is dead."
The atmosphere in the meeting room instantly became extremely tense.
The three children were stunned. They all looked at their teacher, Xue Dinglu, who simply gestured for them to be quiet and continue listening.
"The person currently controlling the palace is likely the Empress, and we've been deceived for countless years. We must find a way to impeach this current 'fake emperor' and purge the court of corrupt officials!" His tone was highly impassioned, but his plan made Xue Dinglu's vision go black...
Others are already hiring assassins, and if nothing unexpected happens, an unidentified flying object will soon crash into the Twin Towers, and you're still here trying to impeach the Emperor...
There was a comical feeling about a congressman running several kilometers and scaling a wall to reach the city hall to overturn the presidential order. He looked at this group of congressmen and nobles who thought they controlled the entire Federation of Humanity, including the head of a noble family from the Cloud Star Workers and people from his father-in-law's family...
However, when he thought he had at least seized military power by getting together with a group of people, it turned out to be just impeachment...
How can humanity possibly be saved by associating with these insects?
Meanwhile, in the sky, a colossal beast weighing thousands of tons seemed to have received a signal, and it swooped down from a height of nearly ten thousand meters.
This altitude is beyond the detection range of human technology and psychic techniques. When this strange bird swooped down, the energy it carried instantly reached ten times that of a Boeing 767.
Even so, the members of parliament remained completely unaware. They continued to discuss in the meeting room how to impeach the emperor, how to give speeches and campaign for votes, how to win the votes of all the cities, how to oust the emperor, and how to replace him with a younger and more energetic prince.
Little did they know, the colossal beast that descended from the sky had already set its sights on this place and began a physical purge of a monarch and nearly a hundred clueless councilors.
While everyone else is starting to play with physics, this is the second time a giant beast has been launched towards the capital, and they are still here voting.
At that moment, a piercing alarm sounded throughout the building, shattering the entire commercial street and echoing across the capital city.
Pedestrians on the nearby commercial street looked up and froze in astonishment. A huge bird's shadow loomed overhead, its wings spread like sails, each flap stirring up a gale that caused the clouds to churn.
They looked up in terror at the uninvited guest from the sky. People on the streets and shopping districts fled in panic, and children stared wide-eyed, their faces a mixture of fear and bewilderment.
The giant beast's energy, accelerated by gravity, had reached the level of dozens of Boeing aircraft. Only then did the people in the Twin Towers notice the increasingly large black shadow falling from the sky, and they immediately felt a chill run down their spines.
A behemoth! A behemoth has begun to crash into the Twin Towers!
Flying behemoths are extremely rare, as most winged behemoths are unable to fly due to their weight and end up as ground-dwelling creatures.
Even so, a small number of flying behemoths still survive, and any one of them, if it possessed intelligence, would cause unimaginable disaster to humanity.
But now, its goal is the Twin Towers!
Chapter 121 They won't realize their mistake until the invaders are completely crushed.
As the expressions of the councilors changed from stunned to astonished, Xue Luding also sensed the behemoth hurtling toward the Twin Towers at supersonic speed in the sky. He glanced at the statue of Joshua in the conference hall.
The old man's carving technique was exquisite. He seemed to be looking at Xue Dinglu, and also at everyone in the conference room.
Perhaps, for the people of this world, the old man is more than just a historical figure; he may have become a spiritual totem. In their eyes, the Great Sage's status may be comparable to that of a certain holy son of Earth.
On another note, he also received some very interesting information: the royal family of this world claims to be descendants of a great sage.
Yes, their legitimacy as "royal" stems precisely from their status as descendants of "Joshua the Wise".
It's quite interesting. At least in Xue's memory of the old man, he couldn't possibly have any descendants. The only person he cared about had died long ago. Rather than saving other planets, he seemed to be atoning for his sins through self-harm.
So the royal families of this world are very interesting. Xue's Law is not belittling them, but rather admiring them for being able to keep a lie going for thousands of years. Even now, it is estimated that all members of the royal family still believe that they are descendants of sages.
Therefore, even these members of the council, after impeaching the emperor, did not think of overthrowing him, but rather of supporting the prince to ascend the throne.
The piercing alarm sounded in my ears.
Ignoring the behemoth rushing toward the Twin Towers, Xue Dinglu entered the consciousness space and arrived at the old man's panel. He activated the function that had the highest cost but the most obvious effect.
The prophecy module can only be used once every 7 days, but at the cost of not being trusted by the people of the current world by anything he says.
However, on the other hand, what makes others absolutely distrustful can also be transformed into something that makes them absolutely trustful. The so-called cost can sometimes become a positive effect.
Now, he has basically obtained all the intelligence about this world. The empress holds power and colludes with the prime minister. The royal family deciphered the technology of the alien planet in the spaceship ruins seven years ago, which led to the existence of the super beast serum.
Seven years later, the Queen has the power to control the relatives of Super Beast No. 1, forcing them to obey her. Therefore, once the Council is destroyed, the entire world can be considered the Queen's backyard.
The legal ring system of Xue's law is precisely the variable she does not want to see appear.
