I, The Celestial Dragon, Rule The Heavens Through The Double Gate

Absolute Limitation: Erastone.

There is a jewel on this Teigu.

This is an anti-Teigu. As long as the Teigu user enters the range of this gem, he can destroy the Teigu through the ability of this gem.

However, the gem can regenerate after a week.

As a minister, he naturally has the means to deal with Teigu users.

It's just that the Teigu had just been activated when the minister's expression changed instantly.

The gemstone on Absolute Limitation: Erastone was not destroyed.

This meant that there was no Teigu user in the range at all!

But... how is this possible?

Are these people not Teigu users?

But if they weren't, how could they possess such overwhelming strength?

The Four Rakshasa Demons can basically be regarded as the pinnacle of human capability outside of Teigu users.

Only a Teigu user should be capable of dealing with them so easily.

But the facts were right in front of him.

The people in front of him truly didn't seem to be Teigu users.

Inexplicably, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva, looked up, and suddenly saw the playful smiles in the eyes of Stussy and the others.

"Have you had enough of your jokes?"

Stussy spoke, raising her hand slowly. "If you've had enough fun, surrender."

"Otherwise..."

Stussy clasped her palm.

Psychic ability exploded.

A civil servant's head shattered.

Such a scene made the minister's face pale.

But soon, he grinned sarcastically. "Don't be too arrogant. The imperial capital is not a place for you revolutionary troops to show off. General Budo, at this time, you should also take action?!"

The words fell.

Footsteps sounded.

Behind everyone, a tall figure in armor walked slowly.

Budo.

The head of the imperial generals.

The supreme commander of the imperial army trusted by the emperor, the other "strongest" person besides Esdeath, commanded the palace guards.

At the same time, he was also a powerful Teigu user, wielding the same elemental-type Teigu as Esdeath—Adramelech.

He could manipulate lightning to carry out devastating attacks, aerial strikes, and more.

He arrived with a large number of imperial guards, directly surrounding Kaos and the others.

After glancing at Kaos and the others, he turned his gaze away, paying them no attention, before stepping up to the little emperor. Bending down, he said, "I'm sorry, Your Majesty, intruders have broken into the palace. Next, allow me to deal with these people."

Hearing his words, the little emperor quickly nodded and roared, "General Budo, I believe in you! Capture these people immediately and kill them!!"

"Yes."

Budo nodded respectfully, then turned back to Kaos, assuming Kaos to be the leader of the group, and said calmly, "This is the palace, not a place for you to cause trouble.

"But since you're here, I assume you've already made your decision."

"Take your own life."

He had no intention of striking first.

But in his tone, there was an overwhelming confidence!

However, just as his voice fell—

Whoosh!

The sound of something breaking through the air resounded.

A figure suddenly appeared in front of him.

Budo's face drastically changed. He hadn't even noticed anything before the figure appeared right before him.

Just as he was about to react, a hand slammed into the back of his head.

Bang.

Zero pressed Bude's head and slammed it into the ground.

A loud crash.

The ground shook. 

It sank straight down, creating a hole.

"How can this be?"

This scene left everyone wide-eyed and shocked.

That was General Budo!!

He was considered the strongest person in the imperial capital!

At this moment, in front of the enemy, he appeared utterly weak.

People couldn't believe what they were seeing.

Immediately afterward, Zero grabbed Budo's head again, lifted him into the air, and stepped toward Kaos. "Your Highness."

From Kaos's perspective, Budo wasn't dead, and Zero had likely held back.

After all, without Kaos' order, Zero would not willingly kill someone at the Budo level.

However, even if he wasn't dead, he was clearly in bad shape.

His head was almost smashed to pieces. At this moment, it was covered in blood, and he could barely open his eyes.

"Is this your confidence?"

Kaos said calmly. "Look, it seems rather ridiculous."

Hearing these words, Budo suddenly opened his eyes, and raging thunder crackled around his body. "You dare court death?!"

He roared.

At this moment, he activated his Teigu!

The blue thunder instantly wrapped around his body, forming an armor of electricity.

But—

Zzzzzz—

The raging thunder continuously bombarded Zero's arm, but it was covered in Armament Haki at some point.

The power of thunder.

It did nothing at all!

"No... impossible!!"

This scene made Budo feel disbelief.

As a Teigu user, he understood his Teigu's capabilities better than anyone.

Just the energy of this lightning alone would paralyze anyone who touched it.

But at this moment, the person holding him showed no signs of paralysis!

Hearing his words, Zero remained calm, showing no concern, merely waiting for Kaos's order.

"I'm very interested in his Teigu."

Kaos was silent for a moment before finally speaking. "Kill him."

An old guy.

Blinded by foolish loyalty.

No potential.

Keeping him alive was pointless.

The voice fell.

Zero's power erupted.

Crack.

General Budo.

One of the strongest in the empire.

His neck was twisted abruptly, and he died on the spot.

"Gulp..."

The ministers, the little emperor, and even the civil and military officials behind them couldn't help swallowing nervously, their faces full of fear.

Even their voices trembled.

"B-Budo... how could Budo just die like that?"

"An illusion... it must be an illusion."

"That was General Budo."

"Minister, what should we do now?"

The little emperor tugged at the minister's sleeve in panic.

The corner of the minister's mouth twitched, also at a loss due to Budo's sudden death.

But thinking of the empire's trump card, he quickly composed himself and said in a deep voice, "I admit that you are strong, strong enough to easily kill Budo. But don't think that defeating Budo means you can overthrow the empire."

"The empire, which wields the great power of the gods, will not fall so easily. Surrender now and serve the empire. On behalf of His Majesty, I can promise you wealth, power, and even anything you desire."

"Otherwise, you will face a dead end."

Hearing this, Kaos subconsciously sneered. He raised his head to look at the minister, using Observation Haki to sense the civilians beginning to gather outside the palace. After calculating something, he spoke slowly:

"I'll give you three minutes."

"In these three minutes, show me the so-called mighty power of the gods you speak of."

"I'm curious and looking forward to it."

Overlooking the crowd, Kaos spoke condescendingly. "If the power of this so-called god satisfies me, I may consider sparing your lives for other uses."
