You are very strong, but my painting style is better than yours!

So Esdeath forced herself to suppress herself and waited patiently, but she didn't have to wait too long, because soon a huge sound like thunder came from the palace, attracting the attention of countless people including her.

Rumble......

Large tracts of magnificent buildings collapsed, and a huge shadow slowly rose in the thick smoke and dust.

hum! ! !

The blinding beam of light pierced through the smoke and swept rapidly across the perimeter of the imperial palace, almost cutting the entire ground apart. The next moment, scorching flames shot up into the sky, and explosions sounded continuously in the places swept by the beam, like a gigantic red lotus suddenly blooming!

boom!

A huge fist dropped from the sky and hit the ground like a meteorite. The enormous force made the hard ground spread out like liquid. The seemingly tiny ripples caused huge waves of dozens of meters!

The revolutionary army that had surrounded the palace and was about to capture the core of power had countless people blown away by this punch. From a distance, they looked like ants being swept away by a tornado...

Finally, in the fierce wind, a huge figure as big as a mountain stood up, wearing a majestic cloak and an extremely hard armor covering the whole body. It was the same armor-type imperial weapon as [Evil Ghost] and [Noble Chariot].

The only difference is that its image is not that of a "general", but a more authoritative and even insurmountable "emperor"!

Moreover, it is countless times larger in size, and is literally a mountain of steel... It is indeed armor, but it is not worn by the user, but is "operated" by the user.

"This is?!"

Esdeath's eyes suddenly changed. She felt unimaginable power from the two attacks just now. In terms of destructive power alone, it even surpassed her and Iori!

"Could it be... that this is the imperial tool that has been hidden by successive royal families? Iori, you already knew about it, didn't you?"

She fixed her beautiful eyes on Iori, and then smiled confidently: "Thank you for giving me this prey!"

"Go ahead." Iori stretched out his hand, but before he finished his words, Esdeath had already jumped down from the city wall and rushed towards the huge steel giant.

At the same time, the royal imperial weapon was still constantly attacking the surrounding revolutionary army. Tens of thousands of troops were meaningless to it. Even the imperial weapon users and soldiers were of little use and could not threaten this supreme ultimate weapon!

In just a few tens of seconds, the most elite forces of the Revolutionary Army were completely defeated, and their previous arrogant appearance that seemed to be able to overthrow the dynasty at any time... was reversed in an instant!

But after all, they couldn't let this big guy continue to wreak havoc - at least Iori would not allow it to cause large-scale casualties among ordinary people outside the Revolutionary Army.

Boo!

A huge icicle rose from the ground, pressing against the giant's chest to suppress it. Then a tall ice-blue figure fell down, summoning countless ice spears, pouring down on it like a rainstorm from the sky!

Will, Brad and other powerful imperial weapon users who had already arrived nearby could not help but stop subconsciously when they saw the power of the queen's attack.

"With her here, we won't be needed..."

--not that simple.

Although the huge imperial weapon was temporarily suppressed on the scene, Iori, who was watching the battle, knew that this was just the beginning and the destructive power of the imperial weapon was far more than that.

In fact, if the operator was not immature, even Esdeath at full power would find it difficult to defeat it.

An imperial weapon that can destroy a country on a large scale and integrates both offense and defense - this is the ultimate trump card that the first emperor left for his descendants!

It is said that this is the first and strongest imperial weapon, both the origin and the pinnacle, and is called the "supreme thing."

Legend has it that it possesses powers comparable to those of gods (which is not an exaggeration considering its destructive power), and can only be used by those with the blood of the emperor.

The reason why General Bud always believed that as long as the little emperor came of age, the situation in the empire would be stabilized was that his greatest confidence came from this imperial tool:

The emperor possesses the military power to destroy a country alone, which is enough to make any rebel despair!

Of course, no matter how powerful the imperial weapon is, it is still a dead object. As long as we can prevent the little emperor from entering the cockpit of the "Gundam", we can completely resolve the battle outside.

But he did not do so, and at this moment, looking at the revolutionary army that suffered heavy casualties, his eyes narrowed slightly:

The top leaders of the Revolutionary Army should have felt enough fear and were deeply shocked by the power of "Gundam"...

Unlike the situation in the original work where the high-end combat forces were almost wiped out and the Revolutionary Army had no opponents anymore, now they also face a huge threat named "Masked Grim Reaper Aizen Iori".

In the original novel, they were sitting back and relaxing, and in order to please the people, they sent the little emperor to the guillotine. But this time, in order to fight against Iori, they may have to pin their hopes on the [Supreme Throne] and try to turn the little emperor into their puppet, right?

For Iori, this is a...

What a great thing!

Relying on force to quell the chaos will inevitably lead to many fence-sitters hiding. They will not confront Iori head-on, but they are still dissatisfied and dream of returning to the good old days when they could do whatever they wanted.

Without a banner, these people are just a mob, but they are also tumors distributed all over the country.

They are unwilling to accept this, but will not take any action. They will just wait silently for Iori's life to come to an end (under normal circumstances, no one would have thought that the emperor was immortal).

Then, when Iori dies, they will be able to become active again and seize the power that originally belonged to them.

——This is a normal process, but they don’t know that someone’s life span cannot be inferred by common sense...

This invisible force undoubtedly needs to be eradicated, but they are as good at hiding as mice. If you want to get rid of pests, you can only let them come out on their own.

Ordinary baits are not attractive enough, but what if the revolutionary army controls the emperor of the old dynasty and uses the supreme imperial weapon to gather allies?

Not to mention after Iori's death, even when he was in power, there would be a large number of ignorant old people who would choose to support the young emperor, right?

Is there any flag that is more "righteous" than this? !

Work hard and struggle!

Try your best to accumulate strength, just like moths gathering around a light, just to overthrow the shadow of "Death"!

Then, when necessary, Iori can extinguish the flame with a flick of his hand~

Volume 81: The White Moonlight of the Entire Seireitei: Chapter : Strength is power!

Screams, wails, shouts, scolding...all kinds of sounds mixed together and became the noise on the battlefield. The revolutionary army cadres who survived the firepower of the Supreme Imperial Weapon raised their heads in despair and looked at the giant of unknown height.

Unable to comprehend, his brain had stopped functioning. He couldn't accept the reality before him and didn't understand why things had turned out like this?

Just a moment ago, they had an absolute advantage and would soon capture the palace and change the dynasty. But in the blink of an eye, the most elite force was crushed by unreasonable brute force, and the revolutionary army became the target of hunting...

They were able to oppose the imperial court for years and eventually lead the army to capture the imperial capital. Even though they largely took advantage of the empire's strategic mistakes, it must be admitted that the top leaders of the revolutionary army were quite capable.

They had made full preparations, winning over the people, inciting the army to revolt, forming alliances with foreign nations, and uniting the nobles who had lost power and were suppressed by Ernest, and their power continued to grow. When Iori, the variable, appeared, their actions were also cautious and reasonable. Even if they failed to win him over, they did not push Iori to the opposite side.

While trying to show goodwill to Iori, they also actively contacted An Ning Dao, hoping to find out the secret connection between Iori and the sect, but they were perfunctorily brushed aside by the sinister leader.

After receiving the news that Esdeath was conquered by Iori, he even instigated the northern ethnic groups to move south in order to contain Esdeath, weaken Iori's potential power, and ensure that the Revolutionary Army still occupies a dominant position in the cooperation.

...They have really done everything they can, and the situation is developing step by step in a direction that is favorable to them.

Today, nearly half of the governors and prefects in the world are their people, and the remaining half are under the control of An Ning Dao (Iori).

As for the others, they are in a fence-sit position and can definitely not be considered enemies - they may not like the Revolutionary Army, but they hate Iori even more!

The revolutionary army could at most weaken their power, but Iori might even take their lives!

Those insects who were only very sensitive to political trends had no hesitation in facing such a major issue of right and wrong, and they all chose the revolutionary army without hesitation.

As a result, the revolutionary army expanded at an unimaginable speed, but even so they did not indulge themselves. Instead, after the northern ethnic groups were defeated, they immediately reorganized their elite troops and went to Luoyang, intending to end the war by beheading.

Judging from Iori's past behavior, he is a pure "good man" who considers the people. If the world is peaceful, he will not take the initiative to provoke a war, nor will he give Esdeath the opportunity to intervene.

——They have taken into account the impact of various aspects and formulated the most efficient battle plan.

According to common sense, they should be able to successfully overthrow the empire, and then use gentle means to appease Iori and Anningdao, so that the world can be unified.

But who could have thought that when they led their troops to attack the palace, the palace actually "stood up"!

The surviving senior official saw clearly that the huge steel giant as big as a mountain did not appear directly from the underground, but destroyed part of the building complex, cleared away the obstacles covering its body, and stood up from a huge hole.

There is such an amazing thing hidden in the palace, but no one discovers it on weekdays... Well, no one would suspect that the "ground" under their feet would be the ceiling of the hangar!

It’s not that the Revolutionary Army didn’t consider the possibility that the royal family had hidden combat power, but to be honest, they still underestimated the first emperor from a thousand years ago... This thing is completely different in style from other imperial tools!

Despair, utter despair!

The cadres of the Revolutionary Army considered themselves to be heroes of the time, probably ranking in the top three in the organization, even higher than Nadezhda who had the [Night Raid] team under her command. This time, he was the front-line commander and almost made an unprecedented contribution.

However, even so, facing an enemy that can destroy a street with one blow, easily annihilate an army, kill thousands of people and collapse tens of thousands in the blink of an eye... and has no weaknesses at all.

He was still in deep despair and had no idea how to fight against such a monster.

The revolutionary army has been planning for so many years and has accumulated hundreds of thousands of troops, but I am afraid they will all be destroyed in the hands of this steel giant...

"Might is power" - this is really unreasonable!

But just as he closed his eyes and waited for death, a steep iceberg rose from the ground, blocking the pursuit of the Supreme Throne. Then ice spears fell from the sky, washing over the steel giant like a rainstorm. The crisp breaking sounds rang out densely, and the giant's movements could not help but slow down.

It's Esdeath!

The revolutionary-level cadres were in extremely complicated emotions. They didn't expect that the person who saved them at the critical moment was the former general of the empire, their current and future rival... But no matter what, perhaps only a strong man like Esdeath could fight against the royal imperial weapon!

Then the cadre witnessed the extreme conflict of violence against violence. Every attack by the two sides was accompanied by earth-shaking aftermath, and the thunderous roar made the remaining soldiers on the battlefield cover their ears in pain.

A huge iceberg that fell from the sky like a meteorite, an energy wave that could penetrate the sky, a fist wind that swept the entire palace, and dozens of hundred-meter-long ice spears that appeared out of thin air...

This is a battle beyond common sense. Ordinary soldiers who are involved will die on the spot. Even ordinary imperial weapon users cannot intervene. The gap in strength can crush any ambition!

I believe that anyone who has witnessed this battle will be like the current cadres of the revolutionary army, completely abandoning their original ambitions and thinking that it is enough to survive this horrifying Shura field.

As time went by, the situation gradually tilted towards Esdeath, because the iron giant seemed to be restricted by something. Although he was in human form, he could not move freely. Just moving his arms and head was already his limit, let alone difficult moves... He couldn't even leave the spot from beginning to end!

In comparison, Esdeath was much more agile. She created a solid wall of ice to block the giant's fist, restricted its movements with huge ice spikes, and then easily avoided the deadly beams.

It can be clearly seen that the Titan was designed based on the standard of "war". Its attack mode is wide-ranging and its moves can cause a huge range of damage, but it seems that it can't do anything to the agile Esdeath.

wrong……

It would be too arbitrary to judge that the Royal Emperor is weaker than Esdeath.

Judging from the combat style, this steel giant should be equipped with some powerful individual imperial weapon users as wingmen to contain flexible enemies like Esdeath and create enough space for the giant to exert its strength.

Secondly, this giant should also have a mode where it can move - otherwise, are those two legs just for decoration?!

In the final analysis, [Demon God Appearance] has the strongest user in history, while [Supreme Throne] is just the opposite, and the current user may be the weakest in a thousand years...

This time Esdeath is going to win—this is what the cadre judged.

However, just as he was trying to cheer himself up, a bolt of thunder suddenly fell from the sky, catching Esdeath off guard and knocking her away.

"Oops!"

Seeing General Bud rushing into the battlefield, the cadres felt a chill in their hearts:

The "wingman" is coming!

Volume 82: White Moonlight of the Seireitei: Chapter : Offering the Dragon-Slaying Blade

With the speed of thunder, it is difficult for anyone to dodge it, let alone being suddenly attacked in the fierce battle.

Even Esdeath did not notice it beforehand, but her combat instinct warned her that something bad was about to happen. However, she thought that the Iron Giant had some hidden moves. When the hairs on her body began to prickle, she hurriedly built a layer of ice shield to block the sky.

Although the power was barely weakened, she was still knocked off the icicle and fell to the ground in a mess.

Of course, the Iron Giant would not miss this opportunity. The little emperor, who was already blood-thirsty, punched down without a second thought, and Esdeath could only barely stretch out her hand in mid-air.

boom!

The thick ice layer exploded into countless pieces. The punch hit the ground solidly, and the steam spewing from the joints rushed straight into the sky, as terrifying as the roar of a dragon. The ground was also stirred up in layers of waves like liquid, and countless bricks, tiles and other building debris were swept in and thrown around!

The revolutionary army, which had already suffered heavy casualties, suffered another great loss this time. Almost all the wounded who had not yet been evacuated were blown away... On this land, there was no longer any trace of rebellion. Only the huge mecha symbolizing imperial power stood in the sunset!

This punch almost cleared the field!

call……

A breeze blew by, and a masked figure suddenly emerged on the half-tilted iceberg, holding a tall beauty in his arms like a princess.

“Ahem… I was unexpectedly saved by you… Ahem, let me down!”

As the one being protected in the hero's rescue, Esdeath did not show any shyness, and Iori readily let her go.

"It was so close... I didn't expect that a great general of the empire would actually shoot someone from behind!"

The Ice Queen looked sharply up at a point in the sky, and then Bud's burly figure fell and landed right on the shoulder of the [Supreme Throne].

This pure soldier had a trace of shame on his face, but his attitude did not waver at all: "As a soldier, this behavior is naturally despicable, but as a soldier, I must protect the safety of Your Majesty by any means, and for traitors like you... there is no need to talk about morality!"

"Traitor..."

Iori and Esdeath were both speechless.

It’s not that I have any objection to this title, but things have developed to this point and Bud is still talking about this, making it seem as if both of them are in the wrong.

In this world where the winner is king, what is the point of "king and subjects"?

"Bud, open your eyes and look around. The empire is finished."

Iori Yuyu said to him: "Even if you stop us here, what can you do? The imperial capital will still fall, and the empire will eventually end... All your efforts now will be in vain."

"Do you think you have already won?"
