Gods Vanish on a Cloudy Day

Chapter 14 The Emperor's Will (Large Chapter with Ten Thousand Words - Thank You, Alliance Master!)

Chapter 656 The Emperor's Will (W-Word Mega Chapter, Thank You Alliance Leader!)

There are quite a few people spying on the secrets and inheritance of the Xiguang Society.

Regardless of the reason, a force built by a Calamity Realm powerhouse will always attract attention. Even if it's gossip that has nothing to do with them, people always want to know.

Even ordinary people, not just professionals, enjoy hearing news similar to character histories or evaluations of guidance techniques.

It's like a well-known restaurant opening on Earth. Not everyone will go to eat there, but most people want to know what others online and in reality think of the food, as well as some interesting anecdotes about the chefs.

This is normal.

But not everyone is satisfied with just knowing.

They want to go a step further.

These people, who may be rivals or just bad enough, want to know the core cooking skills of this restaurant, the chef's skills and weaknesses, and then sneak in, cause trouble, make a scene... and ultimately destroy it.

Su Zhou could see a lot.

At the top of the tower, he looked down at the shadows in the mountains. In the forests shrouded in wind and light, a bustling crowd gathered in an open space on the outskirts of the mountain range.

A small town was already taking shape there. A temporary inn and restaurant had opened and were doing brisk business. The Divine Intent Realm powerhouse who opened the shop had earned a lot of Imperial Coins and was now beaming with joy.

It seemed that even in another world, hotels and lodging were still the most profitable businesses at the entrance of a major sect. It looked like that Divine Intent Realm powerhouse never even intended to join the Xiguang Society. She was just after the business opportunity.

Su Zhou shook his head with a chuckle. Just like this female alchemist who came for wealth and prosperity, the people gathered in that simple town all had their own thoughts. Only about three percent of them were pure-hearted and sincerely wanted to join the Xiguang Society. The rest were demons and monsters, or just irrelevant people who came to see the excitement.

Although it was true that the most pure-hearted batch had already been taken in by Su Zhou, it was enough to show that the quality was extremely mixed.

Honestly, Su Zhou even recalled his fan group back on Earth—half of them were spies from various countries, and the other half were Shao Qiming pretending to be spies from various countries. That was the result of deliberately condoning it and not screening them properly.

He wasn't surprised at all. After all, that's what spies were for. Moreover, when facing a new force built by a Calamity Realm powerhouse, ordinary people would definitely hesitate, and the first batch to arrive would either be sincere or have ulterior motives.

Fortunately, Su Zhou had the Heart of No Thought and the Soul Power of the Devourer of Evil. To put it simply, discerning good and evil was simple.

It was a good thing Su Zhou was kind-hearted and didn't use the Soul Power of the Devourer of Evil to detect good and evil. Otherwise, the Er Tree at the foot of the mountain would have eaten at least half of the people, and there would definitely be some innocent people among them.

"Hmm, the messengers and visitors from the major forces have all arrived."

Scanning the area with his scarlet eyes, Su Zhou nodded slightly. Due to his constant elevation and optimization of Professor Svetre's body, the demonic features of this body were becoming more and more obvious. Although his wings had not yet grown out, alloy horns were gradually growing on both sides of his head, and his eyes could directly see the strength of souls and source energy.

In this source energy perspective, among a group of flames like candles, there were seven sources that could be described as torches, and in the distance, there were more similar torches approaching.

Watching all of this, the man smiled slightly: "Ha, there's even an acquaintance."

Xiguang Mountain Range, edge of the mountain range.

Mr. Ermas, the auctioneer from the seaside city and member of the Falses family, sighed and touched his bald head, looking up at the top of the Xiguang Tower, which was shining brightly like a second sun.

This old acquaintance who was in charge of Su Zhou's auction items couldn't help but sigh, "It's really bright."

"Xiguang... no wonder it's called that. This light is indeed like daylight and full of hope."

At the foot of the mountain, the wind was raging. The cataclysmic phenomena caused by Professor Svetre had driven away all the dangerous beasts in the original Misty Mountains, leaving only the unceasingly noisy wind. Anyone who entered would be thrown out.

This was common knowledge for the many visitors who had been staying at the foot of the mountain for almost two months.

Although some people could enter without being swept away by the wind, so far, no one had been able to summarize any rules. After all, there were demonized people, ordinary people, men and women, old people and children, and people of all races. On the other hand, none of Professor Svetre's own demon bloodline family were present.

This caused everyone quite a bit of trouble.

A considerable number of people didn't come to join the Xiguang Society. They were just representing their families, nobles, and especially the mobile city lords in the East Sea Mountain Range to send gifts—this was common knowledge. Even the great nobles near the Twilight Church would often visit and send you aid to the development fund. This was the norm in this society.

Their task, to put it bluntly, was to get acquainted with the newly promoted Calamity Realm powerhouse. If they could build a good relationship, cooperate with each other, or even become vassals, that would be even better. Their forces would not only have a stable powerhouse to protect them, but also have the opportunity to obtain more benefits.

There were also many individuals with similar ideas. They didn't necessarily want to join the Society headquarters, but just wanted to find a job here. After all, an organization was so big, the boss and core members couldn't possibly handle every little thing themselves, right?

They thought it was a good idea, but Su Zhou's divine abilities were too powerful. He could simply rely on planting trees to have all the small things done by automated living trees.

After all, a professional fertilizer official and tree planter was indeed extraordinary.

So these people hadn't found a job channel until now.

Ermas's visit this time was naturally not just to send congratulatory gifts.

Su Zhou and Roselia had an agreement that he would buy time for the seaside city and attract the world's attention, making it easier for him to move the mobile city into the volcanic clusters deep in the ocean.

Without a doubt, Su Zhou did a perfect job. The series of major events he did in the East Sea made it impossible for people to take their eyes off him.

Now, who would pay attention to a seaside city that deliberately weakened its presence?

Therefore, in order to express this gratitude beyond expectations, Roselia sent Ermas, whom Su Zhou knew, to bring the core technology of the seaside city to Su Zhou, which was the 'Primordial Radiance Sacred Rock Source Energy Furnace Core Design Diagram' that they had been researching for many years.

"Wait, that tower... is that the main peak of the Misty Mountains from before?!"

After sighing for a while, the middle-aged noble with even less hair finally realized that the main body of the towering tower in the distance seemed to be pure mountain rock, and was immediately shocked: "Actually... although the Misty Mountains aren't high, they're at least three thousand meters tall!"

"To be able to carve such a mountain range into a tower... this kind of power is high-level Calamity Realm, or a very powerful one!"

The Aean continent has had a civilization for nearly ten thousand years in this era, and the Calamity Realm is the most powerful force, but there are still very few who can really move mountains and seas, overturn the world, and rewrite the terrain with a single hand.

Carving a mountain peak, the fact that he can really do such a thing means that Professor Svetre can even transform the entire Misty Mountain into his mobile city core city, and the Xiguang Tower is the main body of the core city, which is his central residence!

But just as Ermas was amazed in his heart, he suddenly heard a loud noise.

Boom!

A thunderous roar shook the atmosphere, and a nearly substantial shockwave came from the other side of the forest not far away.

Before that, lightning flashed, and a charred figure flew out from the sharp gales that were sharper than blades. His armor was half-destroyed, and countless bloody wounds were spurting blood.

This person was powerful, and even when severely injured, he roared angrily. The knight waved the great hammer in his hand, creating a violent sonic boom. Gentle water-blue source energy was also continuously healing his wounds.

But all of this was useless. A finger condensed from the wind bent in front of him, and then popped out with a cyan-blue arc of electricity. The power of a railgun erupted, directly blasting the knight in metal armor to the end of the sky, turning him into a small star.

The dazzling stream of light remained in the air for a long time, and the wind and thunder finger dissipated after the other party disappeared into the end of the sky.

"Ha, another idiot spy trying to sneak in."

Just as Ermas was surprised, he could hear the voices of onlookers in the surrounding town. A spellcaster was mocking with a tut-tut: "They just don't understand that if you have bad intentions, you can't even get past the outermost 'Wind Barrier', right?"

"Yeah, if you don't have malicious intent, but your mind isn't pure enough, you can pass through the Wind Barrier and the Thunder Barrier. Then, after failing to challenge the Wooden Man, you'll be sent back by the activated trees inside the Wood Barrier, and you'll even get some maple syrup as a reward..."

A knight who seemed quite experienced nodded in agreement: "That maple syrup is very effective, almost like a professional potion. Combined with guidance techniques, it can temper your body. Plus, passing through the Wind and Thunder Barriers is quite a test of stamina, and the Wooden Man's amazing skills are astonishing. Every challenge is very good for my strength."

"After a while, I might be able to break through the Heart Light Stage... Perhaps, this is the method that great one uses to test and train us?"

He guessed right. This was indeed the method Su Zhou used to train the outer members.

The Xiguang Society's periphery had four layers of barriers, namely wind, thunder, wood, and fire, which contained his inheritance in these elements and were responsible for testing 'soul', 'values', 'physique', and 'will'.

As long as you were dedicated enough and tried to understand with your heart, even if your comprehension wasn't high, you could comprehend these cultivation methods from the countless personal experiences and demonstrations of the barriers.

And in the trials, their souls, their views on the world, and their physical and mental beliefs would be tempered, and they would be confirmed in the question of the heart again and again.

"Professor Svetre designed it really well."

Ermas naturally knew the nature of the defensive barriers surrounding the Xiguang Society. At a rough glance, he knew that this was a giant magic circle that would automatically increase its power based on the strength of the visitor, and was based on the mountains, so he didn't even think about rushing in.

He believed that his mind was indeed pure, and he was simply here to express his gratitude and send gifts. Professor Svetre shouldn't stop him, so he walked directly towards the wind barrier at the edge of the town.

But Ermas didn't expect that just as he took a step, a grand and calm voice would be heard from the distant center of the mountain range.

"Visitors are guests. This time, I will invite everyone to a feast for a day."

This voice echoed through the mountains, and when it finally reached his ears, although it sounded calm, it was like a thunderclap exploding in his heart, causing everyone at the foot of the mountain who was still wondering what was going on to shake. They sensed a majestic and upright will from it, but it also implied a clear warning.

——Visitors are guests. Professor Svetre kindly wants to entertain guests... but if you cause trouble, then you are not guests.

If you were not a guest but entered the Xiguang Mountain Range, you would know the consequences.

"Will this be a little dangerous..."

Swallowing a mouthful of saliva, some hesitant people looked at the others waiting at the foot of the mountain, intending to wait for an opportunity to see how things went.

But they didn't expect that most people would cheer excitedly and walk towards the mountain range where the wind had gradually dissipated.

"Dangerous? If Professor Svetre really wanted to kill us, our corpses would have been fertilizer a month ago."

A passing professional heard the hesitant person's words and immediately shook his head and sneered: "Don't say anything else, have you forgotten the taste and benefits of that maple syrup? If there's even a small bowl at this feast, then my trip to Misty... to Xiguang Mountain Range won't be a loss!"

The maple syrup reward in the Wood Barrier could heal some hidden injuries and restore the physique lost due to injuries and illnesses. In other words, it had a certain effect on improving the foundation. This was just the effect of a small bottle. If there was enough of it this time, this professional was confident that he could restore his full strength and try to break through the peak of the Heart Light!

What's more, he didn't have any malice, at most he wasn't so sincere about joining the Xiguang Society and planned to observe for a while...

What was there to be afraid of? If they were really afraid, they wouldn't have specially run to the deep mountains and old forests to wait for two months!

This was also the view of most people.

So, Ermas was surrounded by a bustling crowd and somewhat confusedly embarked on the road to the depths of the Xiguang Mountain Range.

The road was flat and quiet.

The central part of the Xiguang Mountain Range had been leveled and hollowed out. It could be said to be a plain surrounded by mountains. With the Xiguang Tower as the center, a huge mobile warship was parked next to a group of buildings, and the central area was both a square and a training ground. There were many traces of battle left on it.

Whether it was the buildings or the square, the tower or the mountain range, they were all entangled with numerous cyan-black tree roots and vines, inlaid with bright source energy crystals, in which liquid source energy flowed.

Seeing these sacred tree roots that were even larger and more ferocious than the activated plants of the third Wood Barrier, even the professionals who hadn't had the slightest fear before couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva—good fellow, that vine was thicker than his whole body. If it was whipped down, even a fully armed armored guard would be blasted away, right?

"Professor Svetre's strength has really become stronger again... and these plant roots. Although he originally had similar abilities, he is now incredibly strong."

Looking around at everything, Ermas was secretly shocked. Although the head of the family, Ancestor Roselia, had told him that he needed to be respectful to Professor Svetre, he didn't know that his previous respect wasn't sincere enough until he really saw his strength: "Is this the effect of the Burning Wood God? Incredible, someone can actually plant the God Wood alive..."

Most people stayed in the square, where tables of food and drink were placed, served by wooden puppets.

Not only was there the maple syrup that many people had been thinking about, but also many fruit wines that could be taken as tranquilizers. Although they would feel a little dizzy when they drank it, they could purify the distracting thoughts in their hearts.

With a double improvement from the inside and the outside, the body and the soul, many people would probably improve by a small realm after this feast.

Su Zhou didn't ignore those people on the outskirts of the mountain range.

Although they couldn't join the Xiguang Society headquarters for various reasons, which mysterious organization wouldn't have an outer circle? Since they had even built a small town in the mountains, Su Zhou didn't mind turning them directly into the Xiguang Outer Society and making them a force to protect the mountain range.

After all, not everyone would fight for their beliefs. They couldn't understand such lofty things and couldn't join the Xiguang Society headquarters to work hard to innovate the world and burn the old world.

However, they would fight against this world for themselves, for survival, and for benefits.

There was no distinction between high and low. It was just that Su Zhou needed the former more, and the latter were also important comrades.

Therefore, whether it was inheritance or resources, Su Zhou could give them to them, tying these people to his war chariot. Only by making more and more friends could he allow the Xiguang Society to gradually grow strong and become the source and seed for changing the world after he left.

Although Ermas also wanted to sit down and eat and drink, he was after all an envoy, so he resisted his appetite and resolutely moved towards the tower.

In the hall at the bottom of the tower, a familiar white-haired old man could be seen standing in the center of the hall, chatting happily with several envoys.

Ermas was after all a high-level member of the Falses family and well-informed. He recognized at a glance that the blue-haired lady in the gold-trimmed white robe and with a marble crown on her head was Yena, the Stone Crown Archbishop of the Holy Sun Church, who was qualified to be the head of the church and had the qualifications to control the relics left by the gods.

The Holy Sun Church was said to be a mysterious organization that had been passed down for many eras, originating from the main god church of the earliest era.

In each era, there were people who claimed that they had obtained the inheritance of the gods and rebuilt the church.

But after all, the gods had passed away, and faith was a rootless source, so in the era before the last, they changed to worshiping the Holy Sun.

And in the Great Hall on the other side, a master of the Twilight Church was communicating with Master Suiguang, who had been following Professor Svetre... No, they weren't talking, they were just exchanging backup memory chips and then starting to shine their eyes and communicate in encrypted form through some kind of light wave frequency.

As for the envoys of the Yanshuang Army and the Southern Territory Noble Alliance, it seemed that they had finished talking. The two were walking out of the Great Hall with relaxed expressions, preparing to attend the banquet.

The Northern Barbarians didn't come this time, after all, they were relatively far away and didn't have any means of transportation. And the East Sea Nobles were killed by Su Zhou, who was a noble son, and they had a half-blood whom they regarded as a disgrace, so they didn't come this time, and they were probably planning to fight to the end.

"What's the point... Well, Professor Svetre wouldn't care about them anyway."

Shaking his head slightly, Ermas was preparing to wait until the Stone Crown Archbishop and the professor finished talking before stepping forward.

But soon, he realized: "No, where are the Imperial envoys?"

Although in reality, the continent was divided by major forces, on the surface, the Empire was still the overlord that almost unified the land, and the Imperial Coin was a common equivalent exchange item.

The Imperial envoy was the most important.

Of course, compared to Asmodeus, the previous Thor Empire was a truly unified and undisputed hegemonic empire.

But the Thor Empire got sick. When the Northern Barbarians were hiding in the depths of the ice sheet, the last emperor had to wipe out the last different color on this map and completely complete his supreme hegemony.

The result...

The result was that he was beaten half to death by Winter General.jpg

That year, there were also many natural disasters, and the Calamity Realm powerhouse who led the team was tired enough just to block the terrifying low temperature of more than 200 degrees below zero from the ice sheet, which was all-roundly invading. He was also oppressed to the extreme, awakened the inheritance of the Wolf of Devouring World and the Snake of Overturning World through blood sacrifice, and the Northern Barbarians of the Twilight Khan counterattacked.

Yes, the Northern Barbarians suffered heavy casualties, but they would die every year at this time. The tradition of winter hunting was to exert residual heat before death and hoard food for the tribe. This year, they happened to be able to take the most elite group of Imperial soldiers to be buried with them, which was really a big win.

The emperor who personally led the expedition died in that battle of the Great Khan raid, although the Great Khan was also besieged and killed by the inner guards, but as soon as the emperor died, the prince and the princes began to fight each other, and the Northern offensive was over, so that the Northern Barbarians recuperated and also relied on the corpses of a group of Imperial soldiers who died in the ice sheet before to sacrifice blood, unsealed part of the seal of the Twilight Dragon, and obtained the inheritance of the Twilight High Priest.

The Twilight High Priest of that generation had the power of near-gods, and the fighting continent was unable to stop it, and was defeated one after another. The northern provinces were糜烂, and the eastern nobles preserved their strength and retreated to the islands to watch the continent.

In the end, a heroic figure appeared in the Asmodeus family. It is said that he obtained the power of ancient ruins and could compete with the Twilight High Priest. Then he gradually led other forces to unite and repel the invasion of the Northern Barbarians and rebuild the Empire.

The Yanshuang Army, the Eastern Heavenly Dragon Nobles, and the Southern Territory Noble Alliance are all legacy products of that era. The founding emperor of the Asmodeus Empire made many conditions for autonomy in order to unite all forces, resulting in the substantive separation of later generations.

But the current emperor, Asmodeus XIII, is working hard to rule. He not only suppressed the Eastern Sea Heavenly Dragon Nobles, but also shattered the Southern Territory Noble Alliance, which was like an iron barrel.

Earl Evender was a member of the Iron Emperor Party in the Southern Territory Nobles. Professor Svetre killed Earl Evender, which was bound to be a major blow to the Solar Emperor's plan, but Ermas did not think that this would cause him to not even send an envoy.

His Majesty the Solar Emperor is not so stingy and demeaning.

With a sense of feeling, Ermas turned his head.

Sure enough, he saw a knight wearing black source steel full body armor and armed to the teeth, walking slowly towards the Great Hall step by step.

His armor was full of runes and array patterns, and there were vaguely materialized source energy shields floating on the surface of the armor. The weapon at his waist was the best alchemical weapon. Even when hidden in the scabbard, it released bursts of surging waves and the roar of the sea.

"It's the Commander of the Guards..."

Ermas took a small step back. His expression was extremely wary, and obvious expressions of apprehension and fear were undisguised: "The Solar Emperor sent his lackey to be the envoy?!"

And Su Zhou, who was communicating with Archbishop Yena, also turned his head slightly and looked at the other party.

Through communication and the exploration of the Heart of No Thought, Su Zhou realized that in the Holy Sun Church, there may be quite a few Perfect Kin—among the relics of the gods they held, there was a magic item called the Book of All Knowledge. This book was originally held by the God of Guardians, the creator of the Winged, and was preserved by his church after the gods passed away.

Yena was a pure-blooded Winged. The halo above her head was light golden, proving that her bloodline was old enough and noble enough. Usually, except for the head of the church, only she could use the Book of All Knowledge.

And the effect of the Book of All Knowledge was approximately equal to the Perfect Gift Su Zhou received, the 'Perfect Deduction' in the Book of Prajna.

In other words, it was a prophecy.

In order to avoid the various disasters and destructions in the prophecy, the Holy Sun Church had been running around the land, doing many things that no one understood, but they thought were correct and perfect, so the reputation of the Holy Sun Church was slightly inferior to the newly emerged Twilight Church.

However, the founder of the Twilight Church was originally a Stone Crown Archbishop of the Holy Sun Church, and even a candidate for the head of the church, so the relationship between the two was quite close.

Yena's strength was not strong. This Archbishop only had the strength of the early Divine Intent Stage, but she was proficient in alchemy and various mysterious spells, so saving her life was not a problem.

The Holy Sun Church was best at building temples to fight defensive battles. Their mobile city was known as the Unbreakable Fortress, and even the gods could not defeat it. It was they who helped the founding Emperor of Asmodeus block the last resentment strike of the Twilight High Priest before his death. Otherwise, without this unit's backbone, the continent would have been in chaos for hundreds of years and millions of people would have died.

But even so, the aura of the Perfect Kin on Yena was far less than the pungent smell on the Emperor's Guard Commander in front of him.

"God Wood, Chaos, Termination, Return to One, Destiny... Uh, there's also a bit of Perfection."

Frowning, looking at the knight in full armor in front of him, Su Zhou showed an unspeakable subtle expression: "What kind of smell is this? It's too pungent. Even if I kill him and take his evil soul, I'm afraid I can't eat it, right? What is this?"

"It's basically all there except Twilight, what kind of Buff patchwork..."

The snake spirit complained: "Several great existences are mixed together, can't you smell it yourself? Now you know how pungent this smell is, right? Vomit vomit vomit..."

Su Zhou pretended not to hear.

He looked at the other party, and after the other party made a request to him, he nodded slightly and said, "The envoy of the Empire... please, you came with the Emperor's will, what are you going to announce?"

The man could see that the strength of the silent person in front of him had the peak of Divine Intent, close to the Calamity Realm.

And the Archbishop on the other side narrowed her eyes and said softly: "Asmodeus XIII's Guards were formed with the knight order he had when he was fighting outside in the past as the core. The Commander of the Army is one of his elite inner guard knights, with the power of the Solar Emperor's blessing, and is very resistant to various source energy."

"Ordinary Calamity Realm powerhouses find it difficult to defeat them, and these guys once joined forces to kill a secluded giant dragon in the western mountains and got dragon blood bathing, close to immortality."

This was a not-secret secret for the high-level officials, but for Su Zhou, the 'newly promoted' Calamity Realm powerhouse, it was precious secret news.

The Holy Sun Church was showing goodwill to Su Zhou.

And Su Zhou nodded slightly to express his gratitude, then heard the indifferent and cold voice of the Guards Commander in front of him: [Svetre Athanas Zelenski, host of the Xiguang Society, leader of the demonized army. You killed imperial nobles, destroyed mobile cities, opposed the imperial army, scorned the royal family, and illegally occupied imperial territory.]

Reciting a series of crimes, the Commander's voice had an inhuman charm. It was softer than a machine, but harder than a person: [If you don't want to be attacked by the Empire, then disband the demon army, or integrate it into the Twenty-ninth Army.]

[Professor Svetre, if so, you will be granted a special pardon by the Emperor and become the Commander of the Twenty-ninth Army, the title of Earl, and the area around the Misty Mountains will be your territory.]

His words were straightforward, the meaning was clear, and the sentences were concise. As a notifier, it could be said that he was very qualified.

Immediately, everyone's eyes were focused on Su Zhou and the Guards Commander.

The Empire's meaning was very clear, to recruit Professor Svetre, and they were willing to directly give a commander and an earl's position... If it was an ordinary nobleman, he would have been ecstatic at this time, but everyone knew that no Calamity Realm powerhouse would accept such conditions.

However, unlike what most people imagined, being furious, Su Zhou showed a rather nostalgic expression.

"Demon army... God Wood."

He looked around the hall with some emotion, and at the God Wood root system. The man shook his head slightly: "I didn't expect that I would be a national teacher in the Perfect World, and it's my turn to be a demon army in this world."

"Maybe in the next world, I can try to be a Demon Emperor, I guarantee that I will be better than the Solar Emperor here."

Su Zhou's words were in Chinese. Obviously, the locals in the Aean world could not understand, but the emotion and the hint of ridicule were very obvious.

[Do you disagree?]

Hearing the meaning in Su Zhou's words, the Commander immediately reached out and pressed the hilt of the great sword on his side.

As he approached the battle, his tone began to come alive, becoming like a human, rather than an incarnation of some will, and a faint blue light lit up from behind the helmet: "What you will face is the will of the Empire."

"Just the will of the Emperor."

Lowering his nostalgic gaze, Su Zhou looked at the knight who was exuding a jet-black curse, and there was no anger in his eyes, only a piece of indifference.

He said calmly: "I certainly don't agree, what a bullshit condition. What I want to do is change this world, and overthrowing you blood-sucking nobles and emperors is just the first step."

This was the most direct and straightforward declaration of rebellion—except for the Northern Barbarians, none of the other major forces that had autonomy and were actually local emperors had ever declared this.

The envoys of all the major forces in the audience immediately widened their eyes and looked at Su Zhou blankly.

But Su Zhou was not a man of Aean in the first place, what's wrong with him rebelling against an empire, he had rebelled against immortals and gods in the Heavenly Court, this little thing was routine operation.

Finally, Su Zhou waved his hand boringly: "Go back and tell your emperor, if he doesn't come in person, I will go in person."

"He will wait for me."

But soon, he narrowed his eyes: "Oh?"

The man looked at the Emperor's inner guard who had already drawn his sword, and shook his head: "It seems that you don't want to go back."

"Insulting Imperial law... the world will fall to this point because of you lawless people."

Word by word, a rock-like voice sounded steadily from behind the helmet: "It is because of you fools and evil people who are unwilling to dedicate themselves to the Empire that our world has not been able to gather strength until now."

"Sentence."

Saying the key words, the Commander of the Guards once again announced in that inhuman tone: [Many crimes are combined, Professor Svetre, you should be sentenced to death.]

Then, the terrifying source energy that soared up was like a tsunami, rushing out of him!

Raising the great sword, in one ten-thousandth of a second, the sword light without the slightest stagnation carried the surging tsunami towards Su Zhou's neck—the gale did not rise, the thunder did not sound, there was no slightest breath, there was no any prelude, all of this was like it had been practiced a thousand times, ten thousand times, the speed of this sword was second only to light, even the Great Knights could not block it, and would be killed on the spot.

But Su Zhou narrowed his eyes.

He saw through the reality of the person in front of him.

"Is it a Dragon of the Crowd of Humanity, no wonder he said that everything is an empire, and the words must be law, the great dragon of the chaos of the people's hearts, no wonder there is the breath of Yala."

For ordinary people, and even for Calamity Realm powerhouses, there was power that exceeded a peak Divine Intent in the sword light, the Commander's armor, the formations engraved on the body, and the modified brain and the immortal root in the body, allowed him to link the collective will of the Asmodeus Empire, which could be represented by a human body.

Although this sword did not have the power of natural disasters, it had the light of the people's hearts of hundreds of billions of people in the Empire!

On the side, Yena, who was affected, changed her face drastically. She was closest to Su Zhou, and the greater the aftermath she felt. Even if it was just a ray of light, it made her feel like she was facing hundreds of billions of people shouting in unison. This shout stirred up a surging gale, a sudden thunder, and a monstrous wave.

The power to transform the world and extract the essence of the world was attached to this sword.

Then.

It was held back by a finger.

Pointing a finger, Su Zhou's expression was only sighing.

"Such a loose and unorganized, uneducated, and unaware of what is faith in the hearts of the people... Even if it is condensed, what is the use."

He stretched out his hand, this finger was unremarkable, with wrinkles. Although Su Zhou strengthened this body, he did not think about changing any form, he did not have that mind.

But under the ordinary appearance, it was a pure transcendent body with gold and iron as bones, God Wood as flesh, and liquid source energy flowing in the veins!

This finger was placed on the tip of the sword, but it instantly stopped the slashing great sword in place, motionless... Even, even the tip of the alchemical long sword was slightly bent, that was the presentation of touching a substance that was too hard, so that it damaged its internal structure instead!

Silence.

All the people who reacted and those who did not react stared blankly at this scene.

Even the Commander himself was stunned.

He felt that the heart of the Empire that was originally inhabited in his body, which was with him, was rapidly receding... That made him believe that he was the source of justice, and it was because he had the same thoughts and thoughts as hundreds of millions of people in the heart of the Empire that he could be sure that he was always with the people and with the Empire.

But just now, when Su Zhou pointed out, the heart of the Empire collapsed... As if it was a spider web that encountered a flame, all the structures collapsed and melted.

"Gathering the power of the crowd, how can it be easy? If the Aean world was not facing the end of the world and foreign enemies invaded, according to your empire's situation, even one percent of the people's hearts could not be condensed."

Su Zhou bent his finger and flicked the sword away. If it was not for the Commander's solid basic skills, he would have directly thrown the sword out.

The man was not complacent, he even sighed again: "Why is it so? Defining the people's class with the method of destiny, emperors, nobles, officials, people, demonized people... If you can work together, isn't it a hundred times stronger than now?"

"Believing that you are perfect, believing that you exist for everything... Representing the entire Empire, it's really arrogant."
