"Legend has it that the Supreme Imperial Armament possess the strongest defense and the strongest attack, and it seems that's true. Theoretically, no other Imperial Arms can break through the defense of the Supreme Imperial Armament. This is the reason why the Emperor reigns supreme over the Empire and dominates this world!"

"Young man, don't waste your energy... Let the Creation Engine handle the Supreme Imperial Armament. We just need to delay them."

Brood tried it once but decisively gave up attacking the Supreme Imperial Armament in front of him, because it was completely ineffective.

To use an Imperial Arm against Supreme Imperial Armament, a miracle would have to occur, causing the Imperial Arm to unleash power that surpasses even the Imperial Arm itself, or even the power of Super Danger Beast.

Theoretically, it's possible for Brood to Incursio and for Esdeath to Manifestation of the Demon God, but it's extremely difficult to actually achieve that.

Moreover, even if one reaches that level, it only grants them the qualification to fight against the Supreme Imperial Armament, not the ability to defeat the Guardian Divine Machine.

This thing was like a god from the very beginning, standing above all Imperial Arms like an emperor.

"Aaaaaah!"

"You traitors are unforgivable!"

At this moment, the Young Emperor, who was inside the head of the Supreme Imperial Armament, watched the events unfolding in the palace and noticed the increasing number of rebels entering the capital. He was also enraged, for reasons unknown.

"The empire that I have continued through generations is the Order of God. How dare you defy the will of God? It is simply outrageous!"

As he spoke, a red light shone from a red crystal on the forehead of the enormous humanoid Imperial Arm, followed by a massive energy beam that shot out from the red crystal and hurtled towards Will and Brood.

"Get out of the way!"

Sensing the danger emanating from the Supreme Imperial Armament, Brood warned Will and dodged the attack immediately.

The red ray was very fast, but thanks to Brood's reminder, Will instinctively dodged it and barely managed to avoid it.

However, it wasn't easy for him either. Although he avoided the direct attack, the aftershocks from the explosion still affected him.

"Boom!!"

A massive mushroom cloud rose instantly, accompanied by a deafening roar. Countless buildings were obliterated in the explosion.

Will and Brood were thrown into the air by the debris and blast wave from the explosion.

Fortunately, they were all wearing armor, which minimized the damage they suffered.

But the Young Emperor's counterattack had only just begun, and it was no longer just targeting Brood and his companion, but launching an attack on almost the entire capital city at the same time.

"Unforgivable!"

Two massive red beams of light shot out from the Supreme Imperial Armament's eyes once again. The Supreme Imperial Armament's head twitched slightly, and the beams plowed two huge tracks into the ground before shooting into the distance.

This attack turned the vast capital into ruins, the rays piercing through most of the city.

At this moment, the Young Emperor no longer cared about casualties; his only thought was to destroy the rebels and the assassins who threatened him.

Because of this indiscriminate attack, countless citizens in the capital lost their lives in an instant.

Chapter 70 Creation Engine vs. Supreme Imperial Armament

"You despicable rebels, today I'll let you experience the power of the gods!"

The Young Emperor's angry voice emanated from the Supreme Imperial Armament, tinged with a hint of satisfaction.

This immense power was something the Young Emperor had never felt before. At this moment, he felt like a god who ruled over everything in the world, capable of destroying all buildings with a single blow and completely annihilating those terrifying Mechanical Construct and rebels.

Although it was the people of the empire who died more often than he did.

"This is truly cruel..."

"Damn it, what kind of emperor is this, actually attacking his own people?"

Tatsumi looked at the destruction caused by the Supreme Imperial Armament. He wondered how many innocent people would die. It was simply too cruel.

How can anyone accept such a ruler?

As Tatsumi was saying this, he prepared to lead the robots around him to attack the Supreme Imperial Armament, but the next moment he was stopped by Sayo.

"Don't be impulsive, Tatsumi!"

"We are no match for this thing. We can only defeat it when Miss Clara's Creation Engine arrives."

Although they had the Light Cone given to them by Clara, they were still very unsure whether they could block the attacks of the Supreme Imperial Armament.

This is the strongest Imperial Arm.

If Tatsumi goes there now, he'll only be sending himself to his death.

They are no longer someone they can handle.

"Are we just going to stand by and watch?!"

Tatsumi was unwilling to accept this.

If this continues, who knows how many more innocent people will die.

"The Mechanical Legion is on its way to provide support. Let's take the healing robots to rescue and protect the civilians first!"

Sayo calmly stated that the most important thing to do at the moment was to minimize casualties, as the palace was no longer something they could get involved in.

Although still unwilling, Tatsumi gave up the idea of fighting the Emperor to the death and instead began to lead the robots to help the innocent people.

The wounded were treated, while the others were moved away from the large battlefield.

"..."

"What kind of emperor are you, wantonly slaughtering your own people!"

As the Supreme Imperial Armament's attack descended once more, half of the Imperial Capital was reduced to ruins, and countless lives were lost.

Screams, cries, and wails filled the air, and an atmosphere of despair permeated the capital.

Unable to contain his anger, Will got up from the ground and charged at the Gundam Teigu ahead without fear of death once again.

"Hey, kid..."

Seeing Will charge towards the Emperor without fear of death, Brood, who had just stood up from the ground, couldn't help but reach out as if to say something.

But in the end, he hesitated.

Should we stop him?

Even though he knew he couldn't do anything to the other party, he still went for the sake of justice in his heart, and Brood couldn't say anything to stop him.

He simply gripped his spear tightly and charged after him.

Even if you can't defeat your opponent, even if you're going to die, at least you should make the most of your last bit of value!

"You are the ones who ruined my country. If it weren't for you, my empire would still be peaceful and prosperous. It's all your fault."

Seeing Will and the other man rushing towards him again, and hearing his words, the Young Emperor became even angrier.

He clearly aspired to be a wise ruler like his father, and he was clearly even better than the previous emperor. It was these rebels who repeatedly threatened the survival of the empire.

It's all their fault; otherwise, things wouldn't have turned out this way.

Thinking about all this, and about what the minister had said to him, the Young Emperor roared, and then several powerful rays shot towards Will again.

Faced with these attacks, Will dodged them with incredible speed and disregarded the noise and commotion around him. He rushed directly to one of the cannons of the Supreme Imperial Armament, gathered his power, and slammed it down.

"Peace and prosperity for the nation? Even now, as the emperor, you still don't know the true state of the empire. Under the control of ministers and people like you, what kind of hell on earth are the people living in?"

"The empire has developed to this point, and it is truly not undeserved at all."

"This decaying empire has long since ceased to exist!"

Several figures appeared near the Supreme Imperial Armament at this moment and launched an attack on it without hesitation.

It was Night Raid and the rest of the Jaegers who arrived.

However, no matter whose attack it was, it was still unable to break through the Supreme Imperial Armament's defense; all attacks were ineffective.

"Damn it, it really is like a tortoise shell."

The massive missile bombardment of the Supreme Imperial Armament had absolutely no effect, much to everyone's dismay.

Even the chainsaw of the Automaton "Wolf" could not cut it in the slightest. This Supreme Imperial Armament was made entirely of the finest rare metals from top to bottom.

Furthermore, it incorporated materials from the most powerful mythical Danger Beast and underwent alchemical synthesis.

The Automaton "Spider" kept self-destructing below it, but it didn't have much of an impact.

"It's no use! How could you possibly break through God's defenses? Instead, you should face God's wrath!!"

Seeing so many people appear, along with those hateful Mechanical Construct attacking him, the Young Emperor, who was initially worried about whether the Supreme Imperial Armament could withstand it, quickly became arrogant upon discovering that they couldn't even break through his defenses.

Immediately following, a tremendous force stirred up gusts of wind, Supreme Imperial Armament raised its massive foot-like device and viciously stomped down on them.

Faced with this, everyone hurriedly dodged.

However, some of the robots were crushed into scrap metal by the Supreme Imperial Armament in order to cover the escape of the others.

"This can't go on!"

"The Supreme Imperial Armament too powerful. We cannot stop it with our strength, not even other machines!"

Lubbock stood atop the ruins, watching as those powerful Automaton Soldier were unable to resist the Gundam's power, and felt a chill run down his spine.

It feels like no matter how many Automaton Soldier come, it won't be enough to fight them.

"Let's just say we'll wait for the others to come together."

Leone looked at the Automaton Soldier that had been trampled into scrap metal and felt a pang of heartache. These were all precious machines that Clara had entrusted to her command.

"How much longer do we have to hold on..."

The current situation cannot be delayed at all.

"No need, the helper who can defeat the Supreme Imperial Armament has already arrived."

A woman's voice rang out, followed by the earth trembling continuously, and a terrifying figure, no less powerful than Supreme Imperial Armament, appeared not far away.

Their helpers have appeared.

What is that?

Inside the Supreme Imperial Armament, the Young Emperor was about to continue his attack when he felt a sudden tremor in the ground and instinctively looked into the distance.

In his line of sight, a super creation as enormous as the Guardian Divine Machine slowly appeared before him.

How could this be...?

There are even Mecha as large as the Supreme Imperial Armament.

Chapter 71 This is the Battle of Super Mecha

Could it be that someone has created a replica of the Imperial Arms that is identical to the Supreme Imperial Armament?

No, he didn't believe it.

The Guardian Divine Machine is the most powerful weapon, left to future emperors by the ancestral emperors. How could anyone possibly replicate it?

Even if a genuine copy is made, it will only be a replica.

Unforgivable! They actually attempted to imitate the Imperial Arms of the royal family...

"It's nothing but a mere facade; I will not accept its destruction from the true god!"

The Young Emperor was disgusted by this Mecha creation, which seemed to be comparable to the Supreme Imperial Armament, and controlled the Imperial Arms to launch a devastating attack directly at it.

However, the moment the remote destructive strike approached the Creation Engine, a semi-transparent defensive force field appeared in front of it, blocking the attack.

The Creation Engine was originally just an industrial machine, not a weapon of war specifically designed for destruction, so it was actually somewhat lacking in combat capabilities.

Clara had already considered these factors when she created it, so the girl added a lot of defensive and offensive devices to it during the assembly process.

It directly transforms into a true landscape destroyer.

The defensive force field is just the most basic operation.

Having withstood the attack of the Supreme Imperial Armament, the Creation Engine continued its advance, covering a great distance with each step, and thus quickly arrived near the ruins of the Imperial Palace.

Only then did Leone and the others realize that the boss was standing above the Creation Engine.

Upon arrival, the Creation Engine lowered Nadjeshda down and turned to look at the Supreme Imperial Armament before her. The sight of these two colossal figures facing each other was truly awe-inspiring.

"Boss, where's Clara?"

"Why are you all alone..."
