Chapter 256

Su Xiao, riding on Bubuwang, also felt the power of the explosion, and a powerful thrust came from behind.

The fireball behind was as scorching as the sun, but fortunately, Su Xiao had already left the half-kilometer blast radius.

Sherlock had been plotting against him, and he had also been wary of the other party.

Su Xiao had felt something was wrong with Sherlock when they first met.

Sherlock not only hated alchemists and the royal family, but it actually hated all humans. Su Xiao had already sensed this when he came into contact with Sherlock.

The prompt for killing Sherlock appeared, so there was no need to worry about these things anymore.

Bubuwang was still running wildly, and Su Xiao's goal was the coordinate drop point, which was still several dozen kilometers away.

He must complete the return mission as soon as possible; something extremely terrifying was waking up in the "Bilumark Alchemy Laboratory."

To be precise, that thing was released by Su Xiao.

The area within a few kilometers of the Imperial Capital was vibrating slightly, and the battle between the Imperial Army and the Revolutionary Army had stopped; everyone thought there was going to be an earthquake.

Inside the Imperial Army camp.

Over a dozen contractors with decadent expressions gathered together.

"Let's all talk about it. How do we get away now? The main mission was snatched by others, and we are surrounded by the Revolutionary Army outside. The return mission actually requires obtaining 5% of the World's Source; the difficulty is not low."

A female contractor carrying a shotgun spoke, her expression not very good. The main mission failed, and the -3 to all attributes made her nearly go crazy.

"Rather than talking about how to complete the return mission, I'd rather know how to save our lives; there's going to be an earthquake here."

A contractor who had gained a lot spoke. Although he also suffered the -3 penalty to all attributes, he had completed several side missions, barely making up for the loss of the failed main mission.

This was the benefit of joining General General Bude's command; there were many side missions.

"We are all going to die, all going to die."

A sobbing sound came, and over a dozen contractors looked at a young mage.

"This......"

The contractors were a bit dumbfounded. This mage usually had an arrogant attitude, but now tears and snot were streaming down his face.

"Below... something is coming out. I never thought a creature could emit such a terrifying aura."

The mage's voice trembled, and his two legs were as soft as noodles.

"What do you mean?"

The arrogant mage's wretched appearance made the other contractors terrified, and they asked repeatedly.

But just at this moment, the vibration of the ground became more and more intense.

Crack, crack.

Cracks over a dozen centimeters wide appeared on the ground near the contractors, and the contractors fled in all directions; when disaster strikes, everyone fends for themselves.

Rumble!

The ground shattered, and a palm the size of a millstone broke through the soil. The palm was bright red, and the joints were connected by metal; this was a palm composed of steel and flesh.

The huge palm supported the ground, and a body over several dozen meters tall broke through the soil.

This was an upright creature, its whole body skin deep red, and the joints and neck position were metal structures.

The upright creature was similar to a human as a whole, with a bull's head, no horns on the bull's head, and a mouth full of sharp fangs.

This was a modified Super Danger Beast; compared to the Supreme Teigu, this was the pinnacle of alchemy technology.

"Ever since my master disappeared, I haven't been out for several hundred years. The surface world... it's really nostalgic."

The semi-metal giant with a bull's head and human body spoke, its voice loud like muffled thunder.

Although its figure was majestic, the bull-headed giant's eyes were sorrowful; several hundred years had passed, and its master was long gone.

"Master, I have always followed your orders not to kill the royal family, but where exactly are you?"

The bull-headed giant scanned the terrified civilians around, seemingly uninterested in killing.

"Help me do a few things, and from now on you will be completely free."

A voice that spoiled the mood appeared; it was the little emperor.

The little emperor's situation at this time was not good; his body from the waist down was embedded in the forehead of the bull-headed giant. Rather than embedded, it was more like fusion, fused into the bull-headed giant's brain.

This was the price of the royal family using the bull-headed giant. Every time it was used, a direct descendant of the royal family would pay with their life, which was also the reason it had been sealed away.

The bull-headed giant had its own independent consciousness, and every use carried risks; the bull-headed giant had always wanted to break free from the control of the royal family.

"Roar roar roar~, little brat of the royal family, I have accepted your bloodline. I will help you do at most three things, not one more."

The bull-headed giant moved its body, and with a light stomp, a large pit over a meter deep appeared on the ground.

"Three things, right... okay."

The little emperor was enduring unimaginable agony; his body was merging into the bull-headed giant's brain from bottom to top.

"The first thing, help me kill three people: the Minister, Esdeath, and Bai Ye."

"No."

"Why?"

The little emperor roared, seemingly very eager for these three people to die.

"One thing can only kill one specific target; three people means three things."

The bull-headed giant gave the answer, and the little emperor lowered his head and pondered.

"Then... kill the Minister and Bai Ye, forget about Esdeath."

"Okay, there is one more quota, state your wish."

Every time a member of the royal family is devoured, it helps the royal family do three things; this was the promise the bull-headed giant made to its master.

The bull-headed giant was only loyal to one person, and that was the alchemist who activated it. Precisely because of this, the royal family executed all alchemists.

"The last wish, right? Help me destroy this empire. Whether it's the Revolutionary Army or other people in the empire, let them all die."

A perverted smile appeared on the little emperor's face. The Minister's betrayal and subsequent encounters had caused the little emperor to turn dark, producing a tendency to destroy the world.

"Okay, kill Bai Ye and the Minister, and destroy this empire. Before these three things are completed, I will not completely devour you.

Let's destroy this place first, and then go find that human named Bai Ye."

The appearance of the bull-headed giant left both the Imperial Army and the Revolutionary Army in a daze, and for a moment, they didn't know what this was.

But ten seconds later, they knew what this was.

This was a monster, a demon, a destroyer.

The bull-headed giant walked forward slowly, and a pale red mist gradually drifted from its side. This mist was very faint, and its specific function was unknown.

After walking a few steps, the bull-headed giant gradually began to run, its speed getting faster and faster, and by the end, it turned into an afterimage.

Bang.

The bull-headed giant crashed through the city wall as if crashing through a piece of paper, and it arrived at the battle site between the Imperial Army and the Revolutionary Army.

"Humans are still so fond of infighting."

The bull-headed giant did not make a move; it just stood in place.

The pale red mist drifted toward the surroundings, rapidly sweeping across the Imperial Army and the Revolutionary Army.

Thump, thump...

Everyone fell down, their faces gray and white, their eyes dull, and their pupils losing all luster.

These people were all dead, dead silently, not even having time to let out a scream.

"What on earth is this thing?"

The Imperial Army and the Revolutionary Army in the distance showed expressions of terror, and a beautiful woman with ice-blue long hair also saw this scene.

Esdeath looked at the bull-headed giant in the distance, and after hesitating for less than three seconds, she turned and walked toward the distance.

"General Esdeath, what do you mean by this?"

The Minister on the city wall shouted loudly.

Esdeath glanced at the Minister and shook her head.

"Although I am keen on fighting, I have no interest in throwing my life away."

Esdeath did not want to fight that bull-headed giant, because she knew that she wouldn't last more than a few seconds in front of that thing before dying.

That was the crystallization of the wisdom of over a thousand alchemists over several generations, and it was completely two different concepts from a Teigu.

One hour later, the Imperial Capital turned into scorched earth, the ground was pitted and scarred, and no living creature could be found. The ground had traces of being burned, and most locations were vitrified.

In the bull-headed giant's large hand was a person, the fat Minister.

"Your Highness, spare my life, I am..."

"Kill you."

The little emperor had a morbid smile on his face.

Pfft.

The Minister was easily squeezed into a pile of rotten meat by the bull-headed giant, the action casual, just like squeezing a tomato.

"The Imperial Capital has already been destroyed for you, and the Minister has also been killed. Now only the nearby towns and that human named Bai Ye remain. Bai Ye is the human who acted with you before, right?"

The bull-headed giant looked into the distance; it seemed to be able to perceive Bai Ye's location.
