Chapter 128 - Chapter 128: Death of the Minister

This is the control method for the Supreme Throne!

The Little Emperor opened his eyes wide, and knowledge about controlling the Supreme Throne kept emerging in his mind.

The Supreme Throne... such power.

The Little Emperor was shocked by the knowledge in his mind.

Such power was perhaps a terrifying weapon capable of destroying all of humanity; it was truly too dangerous!

Could he really control this Supreme Throne?

The Little Emperor closed his eyes and thought, and a few figures slowly emerged in his mind.

Kaede, Budo; finally, two figures remained in the Little Emperor's mind, one male and one female—they were the Little Emperor's parents.

Father! Mother...

The Little Emperor suddenly opened his eyes.

This empire was left to him by his father and mother; how could he allow others to defile it!

I will definitely be able to control it! Use it to save this empire, and then...

The Little Emperor did not continue, muttering a sentence in his heart.

Take this empire back... from the Minister's hands!

Father, Mother! Please grant me the power to save the empire!

Amidst the Little Emperor's shout, a light quietly bloomed in front of the Little Emperor, surrounding him.

Then, in this empty Imperial Palace, a giant suit of armor quietly stood tall, eventually reaching a height of dozens of meters.

The Little Emperor, inside the Supreme Throne, looked at his own hands, and a smile quietly hung on the corners of his mouth.

Thank you, Father, Mother...

Determination appeared in the Little Emperor's eyes, I will definitely recreate the glory of the empire!

Your Majesty, next, let those rebels see the power of the Supreme Throne!

The Minister laughed wildly there.

The Little Emperor looked at the Minister, a trace of struggle flashing in his eyes, then he narrowed his eyes, Kaede... is it time now?

The Little Emperor also believed in his own judgment; the time had arrived, and the rotten foundations of the empire would be uprooted today.

As long as he was still there, he could build a brand-new empire upon it!

However, before doing all this, there was one thing that must be completed, and it had to be completed in front of everyone in the Imperial Capital, and even in front of the rebels!

Thinking of this, the Little Emperor controlled the Supreme Throne to raise its hand and reached out toward the Minister.

Eh?

The Minister's crazy smile froze on his face, his whole face showing a dazed expression.

He never expected that the Little Emperor, whom he had always controlled in the palm of his hand, would suddenly point his spear at him.

By the time the Minister reacted, it was already too late; the Little Emperor controlled the Supreme Throne and directly grabbed the Minister in his hand.

Em, Emperor, what are you doing?

The Minister looked at the Little Emperor in horror, but the Little Emperor's gaze did not linger on him at all.

At this moment, the Little Emperor took a deep breath.

Looking at the refugees below and the ongoing battle outside the Imperial Capital, the Little Emperor shouted, his voice spreading throughout the entire Imperial Capital and the battlefield through the Supreme Throne.

People of the Imperial Capital, and the people currently in revolution, I am the Emperor of the Empire.

What?

Najenda and the others looked at the giant standing in the Imperial Capital and narrowed their eyes.

There was actually such a Teigu!

Kurome thought for a moment and said to the people beside her: I'm going over there to take a look.

After speaking, she rushed toward the Supreme Throne alone.

She felt that her sister should appear there.

Kurome was thinking now that she could not let Kaede and Sister Akame meet again; let her be the one to end all of this!

And Akame was actually inside the Imperial Palace at this moment.

She was also looking at the Supreme Throne with narrowed eyes, but she had no time to deal with the Supreme Throne because her mission was to eradicate the dark organization hidden beneath the empire.

Taking a deep look at the Supreme Throne, Akame and Leone walked into the underground.

At this time, the Little Emperor's words continued.

The empire has been passed down for thousands of years, and its glory shines upon the world.

The empire has been passed down to this day, but when it reached my hands, a problem occurred.

I know that the people of the empire lived in dire straits and were extremely miserable during my reign, but! I also want you to be able to live happily!

However, I was powerless, because all the power of the empire was already in the hands of the Minister, and I was merely a puppet emperor in the Minister's hands.

But, today, the Minister is in my hands.

From today on, I will no longer be a puppet emperor.

I will create an empire even more glorious than before, allowing you all to live prosperous lives!

Therefore, please forgive my previous inaction.

From today on, I will establish a brand-new empire!

People of the Imperial Capital, you all know what Kaede... Kaede has done, right?

She is my confidante.

When at the border, she killed invading enemies many times, and what she has done for you within the Imperial Capital is obvious to all.

In the future, Kaede will also be the guardian of the empire's security, so please believe that I will definitely be able to lead you to build an empire even more glorious than before!

Saying this, the Little Emperor controlled the Supreme Throne to bow toward the place where the civilians were gathered, and then reached out his hand, in which the Minister was still struggling.

Today, in the eyes of everyone, I sentence the Minister to death! Execute it immediately!

Saying this, the Little Emperor slowly tightened his fist.

The Minister listened to the Little Emperor's words there, his eyes flickering, knowing that he could no longer use his tongue to persuade the Little Emperor; he had already grown into a qualified emperor.

Then don't blame me...

A sinister look flashed in the Minister's eyes, and then the ring on his finger began to flicker.

That was the nemesis of Teigu, the existence of an anti-Teigu; it was itself a Teigu, but it could destroy a Teigu face-to-face.

The Minister used his Teigu on the Supreme Throne, but very quickly, the Minister opened his eyes wide, looking at his shattered ring.

Why doesn't it work!

The Minister roared unwillingly.

Hmm?

Although the Little Emperor didn't know why the Minister was roaring at this time, he understood that the Minister might have wanted to do something.

Anger flashed in his eyes; even at this time, he still wanted to commit treason!

Immediately, the fist of the Supreme Throne began to contract faster, and then the Minister screamed on it, his eyes even popping out.

Eventually, he turned into a mist of blood and burst in the hands of the Supreme Throne.

Thus, the Minister of the Empire died!

Actually, if the Minister had thought carefully, he would have understood why it didn't work.

The condition for using the Supreme Throne was that only members of the imperial family could use it.

The emperor who created the Teigu was the founding emperor; how could he possibly leave behind a Teigu that threatened the imperial bloodline?

Perhaps the Minister's Teigu was useful against any other Teigu, but it was useless against the Supreme Throne; if it were useful, it wouldn't have been created.

Emperor...

At this moment, the people still fleeing in the Imperial Capital were stunned, looking at the blood mist in the hands of the Supreme Throne.

Kaede, that's the general who has been killing those officials and wealthy families who have been oppressing us, right?

At this moment, someone seemed to have thought of something and said.

Yes, that's her!

"I didn't expect Kaede to be the Emperor's confidante. So, what the Emperor just said is true?"

"Right, haven't we always known which Minister was responsible?"

"But at that time, we all thought the Minister was the mastermind, and the Emperor was surely an accomplice..."

Suddenly, the people below didn't even care about fleeing; they burst into a frenzy of discussion. However, the content of their talk brought smiles to the faces of those managing order. Fortunately, their efforts had not been in vain!

Budo also heard the Little Emperor's words. A smile appeared on his stiff face as he slammed his hands together. In an instant, lightning exploded from him and surged into the sky, turning the entire heavens into a lightning zone.

At this moment, Budo's figure slowly floated into mid-air.

Everyone stood there in a daze. To actually float in the air through sheer power—just what level of strength was this!

Budo took a deep breath, and then his roar resounded throughout the Imperial Capital and the entire battlefield.

"Long live the Emperor! Long live, long live, long live!"

The Soldiers on the Empire's side had been in a state of confusion; some didn't even want to resist. If it weren't for Budo's individual strength, the Empire's side might have collapsed long ago.

Then, these Soldiers heard the Emperor's words and then heard Budo's voice once more—what a majestic figure he was.

Suddenly, every Soldier felt a rush of hot blood to their heads. Previously, they had no conviction for fighting; they had joined the army just to earn a living.

But now, they had found their conviction.

At this moment, they couldn't help but roar along with Budo.

"Long live the Emperor! Long live, long live, long live!!"

"Damn it." Hearing the Emperor's voice, a flicker of hesitation flashed in Najenda's eyes. Then, looking at the Imperial army, which had recovered—no, whose morale was even better than at the start—Najenda grit her teeth.

"Kill!"

At this time, Akame's group had finished off their final targets. They too heard the Emperor's words, and the struggle within Akame's eyes deepened.

Wasn't what the Emperor said exactly what she longed for?

But at this moment, as an enemy, what could she do? The filth underground had been cleared, but next, she would have to oppose the Little Emperor because anyone could see the threat the Supreme Teigu posed to the Revolutionary Army.

"Sigh." Leone looked at Akame, then shook her head and charged out, rushing toward the Supreme Teigu alone.

"Leone..." In a daze, Akame noticed Leone running out. She couldn't figure it out anymore, so she simply stopped thinking and followed Leone's lead.

However, as Akame stepped out, a figure arrived. Sensing this aura, Akame's eyes widened. She turned around and saw the figure standing there, smiling at her. Her throat felt dry, but she finally managed to call out...

"Kurome..."

"It's me, Sister..." Kurome said, drawing yatsufusa. Her eyes then turned cold as she looked at Akame. "Please... don't hurt Kaede anymore!"

"Eh?" Akame was stunned. In her silence, she also drew Murasame. There was pain in her crimson eyes, and a hint of... a death wish.

Meanwhile, Leone quickly reached the front of the Supreme Teigu. Stepping onto its body, she rushed toward the head of the Supreme Throne, power condensing in her hands.

However, in the next moment, a figure appeared above Leone, carrying a spear and slamming it down fiercely toward her.

"You... get out of my way!" Leone had no intention of retreating; instead, she condensed her strength and struck at the swinging spear.

When Leone hit the spear, she knew she had... underestimated her opponent. The massive force sent Leone crashing toward the ground like a cannonball.

Bang!

Leone's body slammed into the ground, creating a massive crater.

The figure landed nearby, wearing streamlined silver armor. It didn't look like a Teigu, but the spear in his hand emitted a dangerous aura—it was at least a shingu!

Cough, cough! Leone crawled out of the crater, looking at the figure as blood ran down from her forehead. She wiped the corner of her mouth. "I didn't expect the Empire to still have someone like you!"

This person was the guard Budo had mentioned before as trustworthy. Trustworthy not just for his loyalty, but more importantly, for his strength!

He looked at Leone, sighed, and spoke as Leone's eyes widened.
