I, The Celestial Dragon, Rule The Heavens Through The Double Gate-Chapter 103: The Emperor’s Submission

The minister shook his head frantically and obediently followed Stussy toward the Angel.

He had witnessed Stussy's terrifying power—there was no way he would make her do it herself.

It's just that, although the distance was short, it felt extremely heavy to him.

Especially when thinking of Kaos' terrifying strength.

Honest suddenly understood one thing.

The rule of the empire was finally about to be overthrown!

Such strength.

Even the strongest Teigu was dealt with in a single blow.

Who else could resist?

Not even Esdeath.

What's more, Esdeath was not that loyal to the empire; it was just that the empire provided her with a suitable platform.

Most importantly, his own fate was still uncertain.

Apart from Stussy, the other members were also in action.

They quickly intercepted and captured the civil servants and military generals who wanted to flee.

After all, the empire was vast, and these officials and generals were still useful; they could not be allowed to escape so easily.

Compared to Stussy and the others' actions, Kaos' attention remained on the Mechanism, and he let out a breath.

"Although it's not strong, it's not weak either. In terms of pure power, it's not much weaker than an Ancient Weapon."

This was the conclusion he reached after observing the Mechanism in front of him.

And the materials used to build the Mecha God were extraordinary.

His previous attack was a full-powered strike.

Although the Mecha God was destroyed in a single blow, the fact that it had taken Kaos' full force to do so proved its remarkable craftsmanship.

It made sense. After all, this was the pinnacle achievement of the most skilled craftsmen in the world—essentially the pinnacle achievement of the entire world.

With the destruction of the Mecha God, the little emperor was thrown out of the cockpit, landing on the ground with a thud. His face was as pale as the minister's, filled with despair and a trace of relief.

As a young emperor, he had wanted to be a good ruler and treat his people well, but unfortunately, he lacked the courage. He trusted his ministers too much, was too naive, and ultimately unable to change anything.

Perhaps accepting death was his best choice.

As for the little emperor's thoughts, Kaos naturally did not know.

At this moment, Kaos turned and looked at the gathered civilians outside the imperial palace.

Though his face was obscured by the divine light, making it impossible for them to see him clearly, they could feel the overwhelming holiness radiating from him.

Yet, they still felt as if the great angel's gaze had fallen upon them, causing them to kneel and kowtow excitedly, praying fervently.

Seeing this, Kaos' heart stirred. With a wave of his pure white wings, a torrent of holy light descended like a downpour, covering the entire imperial capital.

The divine radiance enveloped the people.

Everyone showed expressions of comfort and relief.

"It's so soothing. I was sick before, but now I feel completely healed!"

"This is the blessing of an angel!"

"Shut up! That is a god, a great god! The empire's corruption must have angered the heaven, so the god have descended to punish them!"

"That's right! Wife, kneel and pray! We've never had a son, but if we believe and pray, perhaps the god will grant us one!"

A flood of indistinct voices poured into Kaos' ears.

The number of believers increased.

These were the prayers of the faithful.

Kaos narrowed his eyes, smirked slightly, but said nothing. He merely waved his wings again before vanishing into the endless divine light.

For now, leaving a lasting impression was enough.

Next, he only needed to wait for the army to arrive and take over the capital, at which point he could guide these civilians and turn them all into his followers.

Besides, there were still matters he needed to take care of.

Dispelling his angelic form, Kaos landed.

Stussy approached immediately.

The minister followed closely, clutching the little emperor.

"Your Highness, I have brought them. What should we do?" Stussy asked respectfully.

As soon as she spoke, the minister immediately pleaded for his life. "I am willing to serve Your Highness! Please spare me!"

Having enjoyed a life of luxury, how could the minister be willing to die?

Unfortunately, Kaos shook his head indifferently. "Dispose of him."

Hearing this, the minister's face turned ashen.

Instinctively, he turned to flee.

But at the same time—

"Yes, Your Highness."

Stussy nodded, accepting the order. She then swiftly turned, sneering at the fleeing minister before delivering a powerful kick.

A Tempest Kick erupted.

A sharp air blade sliced through the air.

With a single stroke, the minister was cleaved in half, dying a gruesome death before the little emperor's eyes.

The young ruler's expression showed grief, but he said nothing. Instead, he looked at Kaos and asked, "Is it my turn next?"

"I know my rule has been terrible, and my people have suffered. I am willing to die before everyone as atonement."

"I am not worthy to be emperor. I only hope that after you take over, you will establish a peaceful and bloodless nation."

His words came from the heart.

Perhaps, having understood everything, he had suddenly gained courage.

But Kaos shook his head. "You are still useful. I won't let you die."

"Huh?"

The little emperor was stunned, unable to believe what he had just heard.

After all, weren't these people here to overthrow the empire?

Having been defeated, shouldn't he be executed? Was Kaos not afraid that he would attempt to restore the empire?

"Like I said, you are still useful. I won't let you die."

Kaos spoke calmly. "The strongest Teigu of the empire is of immense research value. However, I know that only the emperor's blood can activate it. Do you understand your worth now?"

"Of course, you must atone for your sins. But you will do so by using the rest of your life to serve the civilians."

"As the emperor, you still hold symbolic power in the people's eyes."

"You will help gather the people and tell them: 'As long as there is a god in this land, that is enough.'"

"Such a useful pawn—why would I discard it so easily?"

Hearing this, the little emperor finally understood.

He was speechless for a while.

Previously, he felt that he would die, so he went to die generously.

But now, after knowing that he will not die, he actually felt a sense of relief.

After a long silence, he nodded slowly. "I see, no matter what, I hope you treat the people of the empire well, no matter what you ask me to do, I will cooperate."

Kaos chuckled. "Good. In that case, let's start by gathering the empire's treasures—specifically, everything related to the Teigu."
