Chapter 129
Upon seeing Nadjeshda come down, Leone couldn't help but ask her questions out of curiosity.
She thought Clara was here with the Creation Engine to deal with the Emperor's Supreme Imperial Armament, but she didn't expect it to be the boss.
So where did Clara go at this point?
"Clara and Mr. Svarog have other more important things to do, and we are enough here. She has already handed over the Secondary Command of the Creation Engine to me."
Nadjeshda answered directly, saying that although she had betrayed the Revolutionary Army, given Clara's attitude and sincerity, she was still willing to believe that the new kingdom would be even better than the blueprint drawn up by the Revolutionary Army.
"Leave the rest of the battle to the Creation Engine! You shouldn't interfere, and you can't anyway..."
He then turned to look at the two enormous creatures. Apart from the Creation Engine, no one else could affect the Supreme Imperial Armament.
This is an even more troublesome opponent than Esdeath.
Previously, I thought that excluding Svarog, the entire Night Raid team plus a million-strong army had a chance to deal with Esdeath, entirely based on Akame's Demon Sword.
If we can seize even the slightest opportunity to let Akame injure Esdeath with her Demon Sword, we'll have a chance to win.
Although the chances are slim...
However, this behemoth was completely unaffected by the Demon Sword, and even the combined abilities of the other Imperial Arms were insufficient.
While the group was talking during the Night Raid, the Young Emperor, controlling the Guardian Divine Machine, attacked the Creation Engine once again, but the same attack had no effect on the Creation Engine.
Instead, the Creation Engine closed the distance, and that terrifyingly huge fist slammed viciously towards the Mecha in front of it.
Both are absolute heavyweights. The Supreme Imperial Armament, which were previously unaffected by any attacks such as Night Raid, were now overturned by the punch from the Creation Engine.
The moment it fell, everyone hurriedly fled.
These two colossal beings could cause terrifying disasters for ordinary people with their every move. The moment the Supreme Imperial Armament collapsed, it crushed countless buildings.
Seizing the opportunity, the Creation Engine once again raised its giant fist and smashed it down.
This made the Young Emperor inside very uncomfortable...
Although he was able to control this Supreme Imperial Armament by relying on his royal bloodline, he himself was not a strong person and had little experience and ability in many aspects.
It's just that it's destroying things by relying solely on the powerful force of the Guardian Divine Machine.
So, at this point, he looked rather disheveled.
Despite its disheveled state, the Guardian Divine Machine's body material was indeed formidable. Despite being hit like that, it didn't develop any major cracks. The Young Emperor struggled to his feet and clenched his fists to retaliate against the Creation Engine.
The two exchanged blows, kicking and punching each other, in a manner that resembled a children's fight, yet it appeared terrifying to those around them, who dared not approach.
To the people in and around the capital, it was like watching two human teenagers fight, like ants watching each other.
"I am the emperor of the empire, I am the most powerful!"
"Unforgivable!"
Realizing he couldn't defeat the behemoth before him, the Young Emperor grew impatient; this was practically a challenge to the emperor's authority.
He was also unwilling to admit that the Supreme Imperial Armament, was inferior to his opponent.
Enraged, he attacked, his Mecha's turrets locking onto the Creation Engine and bombarding it at close range. However, the Creation Engine, in addition to its defensive force field, also had a deflection device.
Clara even installed Light Cone enhancement device in the core area of Creation Engine.
Therefore, the Supreme Imperial Armament struck the Creation Engine, blocking most of its power and simultaneously deflecting the projectile back at it with even greater force.
The attack from the Guardian Divine Machine exploded on his body. Before the Young Emperor could react, the Destruction Light Cone located inside the Creation Engine revealed its power.
Fueled by its Destruction Path, the Creation Engine slammed its fist into the Mecha before it. And this single punch actually cracked a massive fissure in the Mecha's otherwise impenetrable external defenses!
Sensing that the Supreme Imperial Armament was damaged, the Young Emperor became even more anxious, but the attack from the Creation Engine did not stop; instead, it intensified.
As the cracks on the Mecha's exterior multiplied, the Young Emperor's nerves snapped, and he completely lost his mind.
Immediately afterwards, a huge roar came from the Supreme Imperial Armament, which actually repelled the Creation Engine.
When the Creation Engine stood up again, the humanoid Supreme Imperial Armament began to transform, eventually turning into a giant dragon.
The dragon soared into the sky... Light condensed in its mouth and began to wreak havoc on everything, including the Creation Engine and the entire capital city.
This is the Supreme Imperial Armament's Secret Technique, "Purge Mode," which combines alchemy with the characteristics of the Imperial Arm.
Its appearance transforms into a dragon form, and the user is corrupted by the Imperial Arm, becoming bloodthirsty. The weapon's destructive power and stats increase significantly, and the armor's hardness also reaches a new level.
This is the strongest form of the Supreme Imperial Armament.
Chapter 72 The Creation Engine Achieves a Great Victory
"What exactly is it...?"
"It can be even more terrifying. Can the Creation Engine really defeat such an existence?"
"Guardian Divine Machine? This should be called Nation-Destroying Demonic Machine!"
Seeing the dragon-shaped Guardian Divine Machine before them, with the power to destroy a city with a single casual strike, everyone frantically fled outwards.
Even as Imperial Arms users, even with the defensive force field of Automaton "Beetle", they dared not linger in the vicinity.
Faced with such an attack, the beetle's defenses appeared to become unstable.
As they continued to move further away from the battlefield and the palace, everyone felt tense and worried.
Previously, the Creation Engine seemed sufficient to deal with the Supreme Imperial Armament, but now things seem to have changed dramatically, and the situation has become uncertain.
If even the Creation Engine is lost, then no one can stop the emperor's mad destruction.
It truly lives up to its reputation as the greatest trump card of the millennia-old Empire; rather than Guardian Divine Machine, it is more like a doomsday Mecha capable of destroying everything.
No wonder the First Emperor believed that the existence of the Supreme Imperial Armament would allow the empire to continue its rule in the final moments.
It is true that this is a reign of violence and destruction, but there is indeed no way to resist it.
Such an Imperial Arm possesses power surpassing the vast majority of Super Danger Beast, comparable to those legendary Mythical Danger Beast.
However, the Creation Engine that Clara painstakingly built was not so fragile, and its modified power far exceeded that of the Creation Engine under normal circumstances.
Not only do they have more combat devices, but they also have the power of the Light Cone as their means, so how could they possibly lose to the Supreme Imperial Armament before them?
Faced with the Supreme Imperial Armament that had entered Purge Mode and transformed into a dragon, the head of the Creation Engine flashed a red light, and its aura became even more terrifying.
[Overload Mode! Destruction!]
As the Creation Engine continued to supply power, the power of destiny was bestowed upon this behemoth. The next moment, this super Mecha grabbed the body of the Supreme Imperial Armament and began violently slamming it around.
After smashing the Guardian Divine Machine to the ground, the Creation Engine stepped on it, rendering it unable to resist.
Then he clenched his fists and slammed them down one after another with the power to Destruction Path.
It was until the world's strongest Imperial Arm was completely destroyed. Even the defensive device, made of the best rare metals and Super Danger Beast materials, could not withstand such continuous attacks.
The Guardian Divine Machine exploded with a deafening roar, exposing the Young Emperor's body to the sunlight.
At this moment, he was covered in blood, his face was extremely pale, and he had completely fainted from the pain.
"..."
With the destruction of the Supreme Imperial Armament, the war ended.
The Creation Engine ceased its attacks and stood still. Now, this thousand-year-old empire was nearing its end.
The people who were fleeing the capital in panic stopped and stared in disbelief at what was happening ahead.
The Supreme Imperial Armament have been defeated?
The emperor was defeated?
"It's a success!"
"The Creation Engine has defeated the Guardian Divine Machine; the battle is over."
"Thank goodness, it's finally over... I thought I was going to die here. Waaaaah..."
"A brand new era is about to begin."
As the battle began, many who had been on tenterhooks finally breathed a sigh of relief. Even if it wasn't intentional, a casual strike from either side was enough to destroy a city or the land.
Moreover, it's an extremely long distance; one wrong move and you could be gone.
It's finally over.
If this continues unchecked, the entire empire will be completely destroyed in no time.
"Damn it, even the Supreme Imperial Armament failed!"
"He's really a piece of trash. What kind of Guardian Divine Machine... he's nothing special."
Seeing the Supreme Imperial Armament collapse and the emperor's fate unknown, the minister in the distance was extremely displeased. He wanted to see the emperor completely destroy the entire empire.
That's how it ended up...
Looking at the Creation Engine again, I wondered where it came from. It was so strange that even the Supreme Imperial Armament couldn't defeat it.
If he could control such a creation, what would he have to worry about in his current situation?
Now that the Supreme Imperial Armament has failed, and he has no other trump cards left, he can only choose to leave the Empire and prepare to head to the Western Kingdom.
Thinking of this, the minister stopped panicking and turned to look at the strong and tall young man beside him.
He has a pair of cross-shaped scars on his face, which gives him an unruly look, and his muscles show absolute strength.
This man was Shura, the minister's son.
"Father, are you ready to leave?"
Shura shook her head in disbelief at the collapsed Supreme Imperial Armament, then turned her gaze to her father.
Although he didn't really care about family ties and only wanted to be more powerful than his father, the minister, he still didn't dare to turn against him at this moment.
Even though the minister no longer wields the immense power he once did.
However, ministers are shrewd and have countless schemes and trump cards at their disposal. Underestimating a minister is simply courting death.
Moreover, with the wealth accumulated by the ministers, they could quickly make a comeback in other kingdoms, and it would not be difficult for them to become the rulers of the Western kingdoms again.
"Let's go! There's no need to stay here any longer."
The minister looked at his son, whose cruelty in every aspect was no less than his own—a vicious, lecherous, and utterly wicked man. He felt no affection for this son either; their personalities and views on family were quite similar.
But in these situations, I won't do anything reckless...
"Your wishes."
Shura grinned and then took out his Imperial Arms, [Dimensional Array: Shangri-La].
This is a space-transfer type Imperial Arm.
The device can instantly move a target to a pre-marked location, and its performance is among the best of all Imperial Arms.
This is why, even though the Supreme Imperial Armament had already been defeated, the ministers and Shura remained calm and composed.
With this Imperial Arm, they could instantly teleport to the location they had planned beforehand.
The wealth involved had already been transferred out long ago.
Just as Shura was about to use her Imperial Arm to teleport, the surrounding space seemed to freeze, and the Imperial Arm's teleportation ability did not manifest.
"What's going on?"
This surprised Xila, who was a little confused as she had never encountered anything like this before.
His Imperial Arms broke?
How could that be?
"What happened?"
Noticing Shura's reaction, the minister's expression changed, and he quickly asked.
If we can't leave using spatial teleportation, things will get much more complicated.
He knew the abilities of [Dimensional Array - Shangri-La] all too well; there was no way anyone could possibly interfere with its teleportation.
Even Esdeath wouldn't do...
