Volume 8: The Clever Girl and the Imperial Tool Chapter 028: Don’t Be Unbridled
However, Five Visions Omnipotence couldn't do this, so Emiya lost interest.
As for seeing through the other person's thoughts or casting illusions, Emiya doesn't care. After all, mind reading is not some advanced magic, and illusions are even less so.
As for farsightedness...the distance that Emiya can currently see is no worse than farsightedness.
Moreover, when the Observation Haki is unleashed, one can observe the entire imperial capital from all angles, which is even more powerful than farsightedness.
Therefore, in Emiya's eyes, the Five-Sighted All-Powerful Technique was not really a useful imperial weapon, so Emiya gave it to Hephaestus and let Hephaestus study it.
In this way, time flows slowly like running water.
After a period of time, the empire regained new vitality under the governance of Wu Zetian. However, the empire was already riddled with holes after the ministers' heavy taxation and extortion, and there were rebellions everywhere.
Even if Wu Zetian was in power, it would not be possible to recover in a short period of time. These things need to be done slowly and gradually.
There is a saying that goes, "Illness comes like a mountain falling, and it goes away like pulling a thread." This saying is enough to prove how difficult it is to govern an empire. Fortunately, there was Wu Zetian, otherwise Wei Gong would have been driven crazy by those government affairs.
Wu Zetian was worthy of being an empress. Under her rule, the empire got better bit by bit. Perhaps within a few years, the empire would be free of all its ills and be reborn.
Under Wu Zetian's rule, nobles died almost every day. These nobles did not regard ordinary people as human beings, and all kinds of evil deeds were committed one after another.
Therefore, Wu Zetian did not care about their lives. Once she found someone doing evil, she would deal with him according to the law.
In a sense, the number of people killed by Wu Zetian was no less than that of the ministers, and was even more terrifying. Especially those officials, if they made the slightest mistake, they would be reprimanded by Wu Zetian.
If the circumstances were serious, the person would be beheaded immediately , which made many people live in fear.
There were even some nobles who could not stand such oppression and planned to unite to resist the emperor's tyranny, but before they could take any action, they were caught by members of the Imperial Capital Guard.
Although Wu Zetian killed many people, it is undeniable that people in the imperial capital became happier and many people felt a stronger sense of belonging to the empire.
Wu Zetian firmly grasped the hearts of the people, which amazed Emiya.
And at this moment, the empire's most powerful sadistic general, Esdeath, finally returned.
The little emperor that Emiya had transformed into naturally received the strongest general of the empire in the hall of the palace.
"General Esdeath, you have done a great job in suppressing the north. As a reward, I have not only prepared 10,000 gold for you, but I also allow you to make a reasonable request to me."
Esdeath, who was kneeling on one knee on the ground, raised her head and looked at Emiya with sharp eyes.
"Thank you for your reward, Your Majesty. I will give the gold to the soldiers who stayed behind to defend the north. They will surely be grateful to Your Majesty."
"No need for that." Emiya waved his hand and said, "I will give other rewards to the soldiers who stay in the north to defend. The ten thousand gold is prepared for you, please accept it."
Esdeath was stunned, lowered her head and said: "In that case, thank you for the reward, Your Majesty."
Emiya hummed, and continued: "Now, you can make a request to me."
Esdeath raised her head and said seriously, "Your Majesty, when I returned to the imperial capital, I heard that a god had descended to the capital, and I want to challenge this god."
This answer really surprised Emiya, and he couldn't help but say, "Challenging gods, isn't that love?"
Esdeath was stunned and said, "I do want to have a relationship. How did Your Majesty know?"
Emiya knew he had let the cat out of the bag, but he didn't care. Instead, he casually replied, "I guessed. After all, General Esdeath is at this age now. It's normal for her to have thoughts about love."
Esdeath looked at Emiya suspiciously but didn't ask any further questions.
Emiya said, "General Esdeath, you want to challenge the gods?"
"Yes." Esdeath nodded, "Please grant me your blessing, Your Majesty."
Emiya shook his head and said, "With your strength, challenging the gods still requires some investigation. Let's talk about it when you can defeat the captain of the Imperial Guard."
Esdes immediately felt that he was being underestimated. "Your Majesty, do you not believe in my ability?"
An invisible chill spread from her to the entire hall in an instant. A thin layer of ice appeared on the ground, and the temperature in the hall dropped instantly. Even invisible snowflakes floated out.
Many people were shivering from the cold.
Emiya waved his hand and said, "It's not that I don't believe in your strength. General Esdeath is worrying too much. The current Imperial Capital Guard is no longer the Imperial Capital Guard of the past. The captain of the Imperial Capital Guard is a master recommended by Her Highness the Goddess. He has the blood of a god and is a natural demigod ."
Esdes immediately reacted and understood what the emperor meant. "Then, after I defeat this demigod, I will challenge the gods."
Emiya nodded, "I allow it."
Esdeath is indeed very strong. Nadezhda once mentioned that if one wants to defeat this woman, one will need at least 50,000 elite soldiers and more than 10 imperial weapon users including Akame.
But in reality, the combat power required is far beyond this data.
However, defeating Hercules is not an easy task, after all, Hercules is too powerful.
Especially now that Hercules has his reason, his strength is no less than the three golden swords.
Esdeath retracted her coldness, looked at Emiya, her eyes flickered a few times, and said slowly: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
She found that many people in the hall could not bear her coldness, but the little emperor did not feel anything, as if his coldness did not exist at all.
This is very strange. Is the little emperor so powerful, or is this little emperor in front of him really the little emperor he knew before? If not, who is this little emperor?
This country is really becoming more and more interesting.
Esdeath couldn't help but chuckle.
Emiya said: "By the way, General Esdeath, I have another matter that I would like to trouble you with."
"Your Majesty, please speak." Although Esdeath suspected Emiya's identity, she did not expose it.
"I need your blood."
"My blood?"
"That's right, Her Highness the Goddess wants to study the imperial tool, but unfortunately, the Demon God's Appearance: The Essence of the Devil has been drunk by you, so Her Highness the Goddess needs your blood to study this imperial tool."
The Demon God Appears: The Essence of the Devil This imperial weapon is actually made of the blood of a super dangerous species that is said to live in the far north . It was previously stored in a pot, and everyone who drank from it went crazy.
Only Esdeath has endured this imperial weapon, and the mark on Esdeath's chest is the mark formed after drinking the blood.
This imperial weapon can freely control ice, and can be used for attack and defense with ease. Its speed and power are both amazing.
Except that it cannot be transformed into elements, it is not inferior to the ice fruit of Admiral Aokiji.
Of course, although this imperial weapon cannot be transformed into elements, it is not afraid of sea water, let alone seastone. In some ways, it has its own advantages over the devil fruit.
It is considered one of the most powerful imperial tools.
Nadezhda even called it the strongest Teigu, but in fact the strongest Teigu is the National Guardian Mecha, but the National Guardian Mecha was defeated by Tatsumi using the evolutionary ability of the Devil's Haunting.
From this we can see that although imperial weapons have different strengths, what is more important is the user.
If the user is strong enough, the power of the imperial weapon will be strong enough.
When Esdeath heard that the goddess wanted to use her blood to study imperial weapons, she did not hesitate and directly activated her ability to create an ice cup, and then created an ice knife and cut her wrist.
The blood instantly flowed from the wound into the ice cup.
"Is this enough, Your Majesty?"
"That's enough." Emiya nodded.
Esdeath immediately froze her wound to stop the bleeding, and Emiya ordered a guard to bring the ice cup to Hephaestus.
At this moment, the palace door was pushed open and a man hurried in from outside, "Your Majesty, I heard that Esdeath is back."
Emiya sighed helplessly when he saw the person coming, "Yes, Cu Chulainn , this is Esdeath."
Esdeath stood up, glanced at Cu Chulainn, and said nothing.
Emiya introduced, "General Esdeath, this Cu Chulainn is the vice-captain of the Imperial Capital Guard, and he is also a demigod hero with divine blood."
Esdeath's gaze suddenly became sharp and swept towards Cu Chulainn like an ice knife.
Cu Chulainn's hair stood on end, but the smile on his face became more and more excited, "Yes, that's the look in your eyes. You are really strong, Esdeath."
As he spoke, Cu Chulainn could not help but release a strong murderous intent and immediately locked onto Esdeath.
At this moment, Esdeath felt the breath of death, and her body couldn't help but become a little stiff, but the next second, an astonishing chill emanated from Esdeath's body.
Because the murderous intent released by Cu Chulainn was so terrifying, she had to release cold air to fight against the opponent's murderous intent, but even so, she still felt the pain of her skin being pricked by the murderous intent from the opponent.
But this also aroused Esdeath's desire to fight. She opened her cherry lips and asked, "Are all demigods as terrifying as you?"
Cu Chulainn had a spear in his hand, locking his eyes with Esdeath. "At least among the demigods I have seen, few are weak. After all, they have the blood of gods flowing in their veins."
At this moment, there was a flash of lightning, and General Bud appeared above the two men, with electric current wrapped around his body, separating them from the cold and the biting murderous aura.
"You two, do not act insolently in front of His Majesty!!"
