Chapter 1147: The Arrival of Three Demigods!
"Ah, the Empire..."
"I never thought I, Bud, would one day destroy the Capital City Gate of another Empire in this posture. Truly, things never turn out as expected."
Bud withdrew his gaze from looking into the distance. He scanned the Imperial Guard who had gathered around but didn't dare to charge forward.
However, he didn't think these soldiers were cowards. After witnessing the strike that just destroyed the City Gate, these soldiers could still suppress the fear in their hearts and force themselves to surround him. This was enough to prove that they were a well-trained elite unit with commendable courage.
But now, both sides were enemies, and language prevented communication. So Bud didn't say much more. Whether they lived or died was entirely up to fate.
Bud took a deep breath, and more golden lightning bloomed all over his body. Using the powerful electromagnetic field, he slowly flew high into the sky.
At this moment, whether it was the soldiers of the First Legion of the Royal Guard on the ground, the hundreds of thousands of residents in the South City District, or even the Emperor and the ministers inside the mountain-top castle. They could clearly see a ball of brilliant golden light, as dazzling as the sun, yet shooting out streaks of lightning, slowly rising into the night sky, dimming the stars and moon in the sky.
"It's truly the Descent of Raijin..." Standing by the window on the upper floor of the castle, Emperor Molt couldn't help but mutter to himself, his eyes filled with worry and unease for the future.
But he still wanted to know how the Imperial Capital had provoked them? If it was truly that profligate son who had done something, just say it! You can do whatever you want to him!
At this moment, Bud, in the sky, was also quite frustrated. He originally wanted to loudly introduce himself to the entire city and then have the Emperor come out to accept the surrender. But he suddenly realized that these people wouldn't understand what he said! So he felt a bit awkward.
But having already flown into the sky, doing nothing wouldn't do. So what should he do?
Bud thought from the perspective of the World Government. What was most in line with the interests of the World Government? Destroying the entire Imperial Capital? That didn't seem right. Judging from their previous style, the World Government pursued rule, not just slaughter and destruction.
At least the Empire in their Imperial Arms World was doing quite well now. Aside from the currency becoming Berry and time being based on the Sea Star, various aspects had developed significantly in recent years. For example, the birth rate and survival rate of infants far exceeded that before being conquered by the World Government. This caused the Empire's population to increase rapidly, without the trouble of grain shortages. This was because they could purchase it cheaply from the World Government, or exchange large amounts of food for Danger Beast biomaterials. It was said that most of it was produced in the world called 'Kabaneri World'.
So, since he couldn't destroy the entire city, he could only intimidate them. Amidst the flickering electric flash, Bud scanned the middle section of the mountain slope with his eyes. From west to east, he first saw the familiar arena. Because their empire also had this kind of classic building, it was considered the most popular entertainment venue for citizens. Then there was a cluster of red-domed buildings, which should be the residences of the great nobles. As a former Imperial Air Force Admiral, Bud understood these people's way of thinking too well.
Further east was the central position on the mountain slope, with many golden-domed buildings. These should be the palaces of the imperial family members. And on the easternmost side of the mountain slope. There was also a golden-domed building, with two three-story spire-like structures serving as the entrance/exit, clearly a great hall of some kind. Bud immediately decided to make it his target.
He raised his right hand high, gathering a large amount of electric flash on his arm. At the same time, the thick thundercloud that had formed above his head also responded to his movements. The electric flash flickered more frequently, alternating between bright and dim. The constantly darting golden electric serpent within it made everyone's hearts tremble with fear.
The next second, Bud swung his arm down towards the target. Immediately, a thick, long lightning bolt struck, instantly tearing through the night curtain starry sky above the Imperial Capital.
Emperor Molt's expression turned pale, and he watched the lightning approach with despair. He thought this Raijin was going to destroy him and this royal palace castle together!
[Boom!!!]
A deafening loud noise accompanied by extreme golden light resounded throughout the Imperial Capital. Everyone covered their ears in suffering, closed their eyes tightly, and waited in their hearts for death. But until everything recovered its calm, what they imagined didn't happen.
High in the sky beneath the thundercloud. Bud looked at the building, which was completely wrapped by countless vines full of branches and leaves, blocking the lightning attack and remaining completely undamaged. His golden eyebrows immediately shot up.
Immediately after, his gaze focused on the building's rooftop. A green figure was staring intently at him.
It was an Elf Race female with a slender physique, fair skin, golden hair, light green pupils, and long, pointed ears. She wore a peculiar robe woven from branches and leaves, adorned with many fresh flowers, and tightly held a long bow emitting a soft green light in her hand. She had already drawn the bowstring. An arrow completely condensed from green light was aimed towards him.
"Tree God... Valahallen!" Emperor Molt, standing by the window on the upper floor of the castle, was incredibly surprised to see her back. Normally, he would feel unease and nervousness about the appearance of this demigod. This was because the Empire had not given up on various persecutions against the Elf Race to this day. But right now, she was clearly here to help them!
However, Emperor Molt's gratitude was not directed at Valahallen. Instead, it was towards her Chief God, the God of Music and Dance... Lunarieu! Because he didn't think Valahallen came on her own initiative; that Chief God must have ordered her.
But that's not right! Emperor Molt's heart jolted. If the person who attacked the Imperial Capital was a newly promoted Chief God, what use would one demigod be? Or perhaps, this 'Raijin' wasn't a Chief God, but a newly promoted demigod!
Yes, that must be it. This made Emperor Molt begin to feel hope. If it was just a demigod, then there was no need to despair overly.
At the same time, however, Bud withdrew his gaze from Valahallen. He turned towards another figure who was bathing in golden light, tearing open the thundercloud he had created, and slowly descending.
Clad in golden armor, with a burly physique, holding two golden great axes, and a fierce-looking face.
Not only that, but on his other side, there was also a golden light-flashing figure, breaking through the dark thundercloud and descending. Also clad in golden armor, tightly gripping a golden spear. But his physique was normal, estimated to be around 1.8 meters tall, his appearance was more refined, and he even wore a smile.
"The Demigods of the God of the Sun and Light, Freya: Granham Hotek and Mabel Von!" When Emperor Molt saw the appearance of these two, he could no longer suppress the wild delight in his heart.
It wasn't just him. The ministers behind him were also the same, all beaming with joy. Compared to Valahallen of the Elf Race, they worshipped Granham Hotek and Mabel Von, who were also human, even more. This was because these two demigods were once renowned generals of the Empire! They could even be called heroes! They had achieved brilliant military merit in the war between the Empire and foreign races. To this day, their legend stories are still told by parents to their children.
"Three demigods have come to help the Empire! This means the Chief Gods' gaze has noticed this place!" Emperor Molt tried his best to suppress his excited heart and trembling hands. Because he didn't want to lose composure too much in front of these subjects and demigods.
However, these demigods were not here to help the Empire...
"Otherworlders, you need to come with us." Mabel Von said to Bud and his three companions in a gentle tone.
But the latter merely looked at him and Granham Hotek with an expressionless face.
"Heh, they really don't understand our language. Looks like we'll have to use force~" Mabel Von chuckled softly.
