As soon as he finished speaking, Huo Yuhao waved his hand, and a silver light flashed, revealing a silver portal. He reached inside and grabbed, and a richly dressed six or seven-year-old boy appeared.
"No, how could you be so despicable!"
The moment the silver portal appeared, Ju Zi had a bad feeling, but her expression changed drastically when she saw the little boy that Huo Yuhao had captured.
Because that was her child, Xu Yunhan, the current emperor of the Sun and Moon Empire.
Ju Zi has indeed done a very good job of protecting her son; in fact, very few people in the entire Sun and Moon Empire know Xu Yunhan's location during this period.
But this was no challenge for Huo Yuhao, who had already become a god. Moreover, when he infiltrated the Sun and Moon Empire to kidnap the child last time, he had secretly left a mark on the child, which allowed him to sense the child's presence at any time.
Originally intended as a precaution, it unexpectedly came in handy.
" Huo Yuhao, you can't hurt him! No, no!"
Ju Zi's calm and composed demeanor completely crumbled after her child appeared, and she cried out to Huo Yuhao in a hoarse voice.
Now, her child is her only thing, her lifeline; nothing can happen to Yunhan.
Looking coldly at the Ju Zi, Huo Yuhao said indifferently, "Me, despicable? Wasn't I forced into this by you? You threatened me with the life and death of all living beings on the entire continent, so why can't I threaten you back with a child?"
Yes, using a six or seven-year-old child as leverage is indeed despicable, but now it concerns the life and death of the entire Star Luo Empire and even the entire continent. So what if it's despicable?
He was forced into this situation by this crazy woman; she was the one who courted disaster first, so he can't be blamed.
Huo Yuhao's cold expression and icy words filled Ju Zi with dread, and she saw another side of Huo Yuhao, the man she was so infatuated with.
How could this man be so despicable Shameless!
Indeed, Huo Yuhao's behavior would be far too petty on the battlefield of the Empire.
" Huo Yuhao, you can't hurt Yunhan, you absolutely can't!"
Ju Zi sobbed, she was caught in a dilemma.
"If you want your child to be safe, fine, then hand over the mark controlling the underground Doomsday Bomb and withdraw your troops from the Imperial battlefield! At the same time, I guarantee that the Star Luo Empire will not attack the Sun and Moon Empire for the next hundred years!"
Huo Yuhao said coldly, his expression Tyrannical Dao, leaving no room for negotiation for Ju Zi.
Only by removing all the Doomsday Bomb can this madwoman be truly stopped; otherwise, she will pose a significant threat to the entire Star Luo Empire.
With a flicker in her eyes, Ju Zi bit her lip, her gaze fixed on Huo Yuhao and her son Xu Yunhan. Her delicate body began to tremble slightly, and she found it difficult to speak.
At this moment, she was truly in a dilemma. On one hand, there was her only son, and on the other hand, there was the future of the empire. She really didn't know what to choose.
Yes, Huo Yuhao did make a promise to ensure that the Star Luo Empire would not attack their Sun and Moon Empire within a hundred years, but this promise contained a deadly trap.
It should be noted that the Heaven Dou Empire has now been invaded by the Star Luo Empire, which has also acquired the Heaven Dou Empire's Battle Armor technology.
If the Sun and Moon Empire could greatly increase its legion's combat power by complementing its Battle Armor technology, then the Star Luo Empire could naturally do the same.
However, the Star Luo Empire is plagued by numerous internal factions, making it difficult to properly distribute the benefits in a short period of time, thus preventing it from achieving its goal of defeating China's forces.
Moreover, unlike Battle Armor technology and individual cultivation, the mecha technology of their Sun and Moon Empire is the most resource-intensive, especially in terms of mineral resources.
The energy consumption is ten times that of Battle Armor technology and one hundred times that of individual Soul Master cultivation.
In other words, the Star Luo Empire only needs one percent of the resources required to cultivate a combatant of the same level as their Sun and Moon Empire. Even if they integrate Battle Armor technology in the future, the consumption will only increase to eleven percent!
A difference of nearly ten times is quite fatal.
To achieve victory in this imperial war, the Sun and Moon Empire exhausted the resources accumulated over ten thousand years. This was the limit they could reach, and even if the legion's combat power increased in the future, the increase would not be significant.
In addition, maintaining the mechs is also a huge drain on resources, and even with the empire's national strength, it would be difficult to sustain such a large-scale mech legion for an extended period of time.
Therefore, this battle is the last chance for their Sun and Moon Empire; if they miss it, they will be doomed.
If they really agree to Huo Yuhao's request, and a century later, once another national war breaks out, the Sun and Moon Empire will inevitably be destroyed by the Star Luo Empire, whose strength has increased dramatically.
Using the Doomsday Bomb as a threat again is completely ineffective, because once this Doomsday Bomb is revealed, Huo Yuhao will definitely destroy it immediately.
The manufacture of Doomsday Bomb requires a rare type of Spirit Power Crystal Spirit Power Crystal, which is not produced on the Sun and Moon Continent at all. The raw materials for these Doomsday Bomb were brought by the Heaven Dou Empire from the mysterious Douluo Continent ten thousand years ago.
All those Spirit Power Crystal have now been used to make this batch of Doomsday Bomb, and there's no way we'll ever be able to make such a forbidden weapon to deter the Star Luo Empire again.
Therefore, we absolutely cannot back down this time, otherwise it would be a slow suicide. At the same time, Ju Zi also understands that this must be Huo Yuhao's intention, and the other party must have planned everything in advance.
You should know that she understands this man quite well; his intelligence and shrewdness are no less than her own.
"Why? Why do you insist on forcing me? You should understand that our Sun and Moon Empire has no way out now. Although I am the Empress Dowager, the future of the empire is not something I can control alone..."
At this point, Ju Zi couldn't continue, because she saw in horror that Huo Yuhao's hand was already on her son's neck. With just a little force, her son would die.
The faces of the group of high-ranking Sun and Moon Empire behind Ju Zi were also very grim.
It should be noted that Xu Yunhan is currently the emperor of the Sun and Moon Empire. If he is killed, the empire will inevitably fall apart and disintegrate.
After all, the Empire has already paid a heavy price for this imperial war, and the domestic situation is very bad.
If it weren't for the sudden emergence of the Empress War God, who suppressed everything with ruthless methods, their Sun and Moon Empire would probably have split apart long ago and been destroyed by the Star Luo Empire.
"Don't try to portray yourself as innocent. Don't forget, you were the ones who started this imperial war!"
Huo Yuhao sneered. The Star Luo Empire also suffered considerable losses in this imperial war, especially in the early stages when it was caught off guard by the Sun and Moon Empire and suffered heavy losses. All these blood debts should be attributed to the Sun and Moon Empire.
As he spoke, Huo Yuhao placed his Palm One on the neck of the sleeping Xu Yunhan, his large hand even pressing a dent into the tender skin.
"No, please don't hurt my child! I promise you, I'll agree to your terms!"
Ultimately, Huo Yuhao's actions overwhelmed Ju Zi, pushing her to the brink of collapse, leaving her with no choice but to compromise.
The high-ranking officials of the Sun and Moon Empire in the rear opened their mouths, but none of them knew what to say.
There was no way around it; Huo Yuhao's individual strength was simply too great. He was able to capture the emperor Xu Yunhan, who was hidden so well, and he could also capture their closest relatives. Even they themselves would find it difficult to resist him.
This tactic by the other side is both a threat to the Empress War God, and a deterrent to them.
They have already lost this battle!
A crushing defeat!
Seeing Huo Yuhao's grip loosen slightly, Ju Zi barely regained some composure. She took a deep breath, enduring the pain, and separated a mark from her own consciousness, saying, "I agree to your request. This is the mark that controls the Doomsday Bomb. As long as you return Yunhan to me, it is yours."
"I never said I would return the child to you now. Given that your Sun and Moon Empire was the one who started this imperial war, this child will have to wait a hundred years before being returned to you!"
Huo Yuhao's expression remained indifferent. Having learned from the previous experience of being threatened by the Doomsday Bomb, he couldn't be sure whether the Sun and Moon Empire could produce such a deadly weapon again.
Therefore, this child must not be handed over to that crazy woman at this moment!
"What?"
Ju Zi was horrified. Her fragile composure crumbled again, and she cried out, "No! You can't take Yunhan away! You absolutely can't! Otherwise, I'll detonate the Doomsday Bomb right now, and we'll all be gone!"
With that, Ju Zi, now enraged, prepared to activate the mark in her hand to detonate the Doomsday Bomb and perish together with Huo Yuhao.
There was no way she would let Huo Yuhao take her child away, let alone take away a whole hundred years of her life.
Although the lifespan of Soul Master who has achieved success in cultivation is not short, and it is not difficult to live for a hundred years, her child has good talent and even has the potential to become Demigod.
But she still couldn't let her child be taken away for a hundred years. Given the current mortal enmity Great Emperor, who knew what kind of treatment her child would receive if left in the Star Luo Empire, or even whether he would live to see the end of the century?
She knew very well the character of those powerful families, sects, nobles, and wealthy clans in the Star Luo Empire. They had no bottom line whatsoever, and even with Huo Yuhao as a deterrent, they couldn't possibly protect their child.
Therefore, we absolutely cannot let Huo Yuhao take the child away today!
Do you think you still have a choice?
With a cold laugh, Huo Yuhao opened another silver spatial portal and grabbed the mark controlling the Doomsday Bomb from Ju Zi's hand.
Previously, this mark was integrated into the soul of the Ju Zi, and the two were connected, so it could be detonated with just a thought.
Now that Ju Zi has separated that mark from her sea of consciousness, although she can still control it, there will be a very slight buffer period.
Although this buffer time was almost non-existent, it was enough for someone like him who had cultivated to the point of godhood.
"I will raise the child well, see you after I'm gone!"
Having obtained the mark, Huo Yuhao prepared to turn and leave.
Ju Zi and the Sun and Moon Empire have lost their last remaining strength; they are now merely meat on a chopping board, and their demise is only a matter of time.
Moreover, with a century to go, the Star Luo Empire will have enough time to digest the original land and population resources of the Heaven Dou Empire. By then, the empire's national strength will surely increase exponentially, and the Sun and Moon Empire will be no match for them.
A hundred years from now, the Sun and Moon Empire will be wiped out!
Of course, he will still keep his promise and return the child to the madwoman, but whether the madwoman can escape the Star Luo Empire's pursuit with the child is none of his concern.
By then, he might have already ascended to the Divine Realm, and he wouldn't bother with matters of the mortal world.
"No, give me back my child!"
Ju Zi was on the verge of collapse. Recklessly, she drove her mecha toward Huo Yuhao, wanting to take her child back.
On the verge of a mental breakdown, she had forgotten the difference in strength between the two sides, but even if she still had her rationality, she would still charge forward.
After all, that was her child, her only reason to live.
Unfortunately, the difference in strength between the two sides was too great. Huo Yuhao simply stretched out one hand, and with a surge of divine power, he froze the most powerful mecha of the Sun and Moon Empire piloted by Ju Zi. Then, under the erosion of divine power, the massive mecha was quickly disintegrated, and soon a beautiful figure wearing Battle Armor was revealed.
That was none other than the Empress War God of the Sun and Moon Empire — Ju Zi!
With a cold gesture, he threw the Ju Zi on the ground. The vast difference in strength meant that Huo Yuhao wasn't worried at all about being attacked by this crazy woman who had lost her last bit of power.
