Chapter 265: Activation of the Supreme Teigu

Budo has fallen, the Revolutionary Army's morale has soared, and the intensity of the siege has increased once more. Looking at the Imperial Army, Budo had always been the pillar in their hearts; now that Budo is dead, their morale has naturally collapsed completely.

"Let me show you all my true power!" Mine sat atop the Heavenly Dragon, the Pumpkin in her hands shining brilliantly as a terrifying beam of light blasted straight toward the gates of the Imperial Capital.

Although the gates of the Imperial Capital were thick, after Mine received special training from Luo Yexi, her Mental Power had increased by a significant margin. Under her full-force strike, countless cracks appeared on the sturdy gates before they shattered into a pile of fragments.

Seeing the gates blasted to pieces, the Imperial Army's resistance dropped straight to zero, and they surrendered one after another. Esdeath also took the opportunity to lead the Army into the Imperial Capital, seizing control of the defensive lines on the walls and disarming all the Imperial Army soldiers.

"Now only the Imperial Palace remains, I wonder what the final Teigu will be!" Najenda gazed toward the Imperial Palace and spoke.

"No matter what the final Teigu is, I will freeze it into ice shards and then smash it to pieces!" Esdeath said.

"Najenda, you have the others set up the things I gave you now, there shouldn't be any problems, right!" Lingyun said. "After those things are set up, we will set out for the Imperial Palace."

"Understood!" Najenda nodded.

At this moment, inside the Imperial Palace.

"It's bad, Prime Minister, Your Majesty the Emperor, I just received news from the front lines that General Budo has died in the line of duty, and the rebel army has breached the gates and is advancing toward the Imperial Palace!" A man rushed into the great hall and said in a panic.

"W-what?" All the civil and military officials present turned pale with shock.

General Budo had always been the pillar of the Empire in their hearts. The reason they were able to stand here leisurely while the Revolutionary Army reached the Imperial Capital was because the Empire had Budo as its sky-supporting pillar. Now that they suddenly heard Budo had actually died in battle, everyone present lost their composure.

"To think the rebel army is actually this powerful, even the General has died in the line of duty." The Prime Minister himself gasped, a sinister premonition rising in his heart. "Your Majesty, we have reached the most critical juncture; the rebel army's strength is already impossible to resist. The only plan now is to activate the Empire's Supreme Teigu."

"Activate the Supreme Teigu?" Hearing the Prime Minister's words, a flash of hesitation crossed the young Emperor's eyes. He knew the power of the Supreme Teigu well, but the destruction it would cause was immeasurable. If it were used within the Imperial Capital, the casualties would be absolutely unimaginable.

"Your Majesty, now is not the time for hesitation. If the enemy army is allowed to invade the Imperial Palace, then the future of the Empire will be completely buried!" The Prime Minister urged. "Moreover, after the rebel army enters the city, who knows what kind of devastation the commoners of the Imperial Capital will suffer? Now is no longer the time for hesitation!"

Hearing the Prime Minister speak this way, a light of wavering clearly appeared in the young Emperor's eyes.

"Besides, Your Majesty, are you willing to see the Empire buried in your hands just like this?" The Prime Minister said with an eager face, as if he had exhausted his heart for this country.

The Prime Minister's words became the final straw that broke the camel's back. The young Emperor nodded and stood up from his seat: "The future of the Empire cannot be buried in my hands. The Supreme Teigu will give these traitors the punishment they deserve!"

Seeing the young Emperor rise, a flash of joy crossed the Prime Minister's eyes. Being able to enter and exit the Imperial Palace library freely, he naturally understood best just how powerful the Supreme Teigu was. In his mind, whether it was the Revolutionary Army, or Budo and Esdeath, they were all trash that could not withstand a single blow before the Supreme Teigu.

Now that Budo was dead, there was no one left in this Empire who could stop him. Once the young Emperor used the Supreme Teigu to wipe out all the rebel forces, he would be able to logically become the hero who saved this country. At that time, as long as he united a group of people to force the palace, he would definitely be able to easily take this country into his own hands!

Thinking of this, the Prime Minister's mood improved even more, and he couldn't help but take a fierce bite of the meat in his hand.

"Lingyun, everything has been set up, can we set out now!" Najenda said to Lingyun.

"Let's set out. Oh, right, as for the soldiers other than the Teigu Users, have them stand by where they are. The Supreme Teigu can only be broken by the strong; simple human-wave tactics are ineffective against it!" Lingyun said.

"I understand, let's go!" Najenda quickly gathered all the Teigu Users in the Revolutionary Army.

"Boom! Boom!" Just as everyone arrived in front of the Imperial Palace, a violent rumbling sound suddenly came from within the palace.

Najenda looked up, and an incomparably huge figure appeared in the Imperial Palace. She couldn't help but gasp: "Lingyun, is this the Supreme Teigu you spoke of?"

"That's right, this is the Empire's final trump card, the first and also the strongest Teigu. It is the origin of all Teigu and the pinnacle of all Teigu, known as the 'Supreme Teigu', the Protector of the Nation, 【Supreme Throne】!" Lingyun nodded slightly with a somewhat solemn expression.

This Teigu actually made him feel an invisible pressure. It was very clear that the power of this Teigu was likely much stronger than he had imagined.

"A big guy like this is indeed not something that can be defeated by human-wave tactics. If ordinary soldiers came over, they would just be throwing their lives away for nothing!" Najenda sighed.

"As expected, only such a powerful existence can stir up my desire to fight!" Contrary to Najenda, Esdeath looked at the massive Supreme Throne, a flash of excitement in her eyes.

"I see you all, you damned traitors, all of you go to hell!" The young Emperor, situated inside the Supreme Throne, saw Lingyun and the others rushing toward the Imperial Palace at a glance.

Under the young Emperor's control, the Supreme Throne raised its right foot and stomped down heavily toward the direction of Lingyun and the others.

"Watch out!" Najenda gave a warning, and everyone present scattered in an instant.

With a "Boom", rubble flew everywhere, and the ground was instantly stomped into a large pit by the Supreme Throne.

"This big guy is quite sturdy!" A Revolutionary Army soldier threw the Explosive Jade in his hand.

The jade orb blasted against the leg of the Supreme Throne, causing a violent explosion, but the result was unsatisfactory; not even a single scratch appeared on the leg of the Supreme Throne.

"As the Empire's strongest trump card, how could it not have some special abilities? The defensive power of the Supreme Throne is absolutely the strongest existence among the currently existing Teigu!" Lingyun said. "This is already the final battle, we don't need to hold back anymore!"

After Lingyun finished speaking, the Cloud Realm Power instantly empowered him. A terrifying force erupted instantly, causing the people around him to involuntarily retreat several steps. Lingyun's figure swayed slightly, instantly turning into a streak of light as he rushed into the high sky.
