Chapter 326: Big Melee
“Evil God!”
Ryan's words made everyone present completely believe what he had said before.
The Glorious City is indeed using a method that can "change people's cognition" to spread the belief in evil gods.
Moreover, they have already extended their hands to the top levels of Omar.
He even controlled a prince.
This is not just a rights crisis, but also a great humiliation.
The slap from the Glorious City slapped all the Omar nobles in the face!
…
The arrival of the evil god causes a huge commotion. Even if one is not a spiritual being, one can clearly feel the pressure that comes from the soul.
It was like an ant looking up at a giant, with an indescribable sense of despair and terror.
At this moment, everyone in the parliament hall was shocked when they saw the solemn and sacred face of the "Second Prince".
At this moment, Karen was gleaming with holy light, illuminating the magnificent parliament hall with golden light. On his forehead, a "vertical pupil" with strong light gathered appeared, making him look like a god who ignored all living beings.
Ryan narrowed his eyes and looked at the evil god, his face full of solemnity.
He did not dare to be careless at all. His strong fighting spirit surged up, and his skin was already glowing with a layer of light golden luster. He had obviously entered a state of full defense.
Ymir, who was standing aside, had one hand on the rapier at her waist, already exerting some strength.
Old man Tust also put on the eight-armed Deer God mecha in an instant and entered combat status.
Even Metternich, who always looked cynical, had a gleam of brilliance in his narrowed eyes.
He seemed to have seen through the realm of "Karen" and muttered to himself: "Is this the descended god from outside the domain? Tsk tsk, it turns out that he is still restricted to this extent by the laws of heaven and earth..."
…
At the same time as the evil god descended, all the noble ministers whose beliefs had been secretly tampered with by the Glorious City were exposed one by one as if they had seen a "savior".
When they saw "Karen", they prostrated themselves on the ground with fanatical expressions and knelt devoutly, saying: "Great Lord Jaliyad, your devout believer XXX, may God guide us..."
The Second Prince's faction was the hardest hit, and almost all the people from the big families in his core circle were kneeling on the ground.
Seeing the old friends around him kneeling down one by one to worship the evil god, those who were not hit turned pale with fear.
This "pious" look is no different from being possessed by a demon.
He was fine just now, but now he looks like a madman who is willing to sacrifice his life for the three-eyed evil god. To a normal person, this behavior is extremely weird and terrifying.
Those nobles who were still conscious instantly broke out in cold sweats and immediately realized the horror of the evil god's methods.
They couldn't help but feel scared. If this were to happen, what would be the difference between them and slaves ?
At this moment, everyone's eyes revealed a deep resistance to the "evil god".
Steam technology is the foundation of the Omar Empire. If the people of the Omar Empire believe in gods, then the only one they believe in is the "God of Steam".
At this moment, the same thought came to the minds of these top nobles: After today, the whole country will ban the evil god of Glorious City, ban missionaries, and ban any form of church activities!
…
After all, this farce of the evil god's arrival was staged on Oma's home turf.
The background of Omar's thousand-year-old empire is not that simple.
The palace is probably the place with the highest concentration of top masters in all human territories in the world, except for Black Dragon City.
Even if a projection of an evil god is invincible in the world, it is not certain that he can gain any benefit.
At this moment, a loud shout suddenly came!
The sound was as deep as a bell, so loud that it hurt the eardrums.
"Humph, this is Usenbar, and we won't allow you, the evil god from the Glorious City, to run wild here!"
Before he finished speaking, and everyone had no idea what was happening, a voice at an extremely fast speed flashed past before the evil god's will had fully arrived.
The old man with white beard didn't care about the life of the second prince at all, he just stabbed with his hand without any hesitation.
Then, a scene that shocked everyone appeared!
As we all know, the "elemental armor" comprehended by the fifth level of transcendence is as hard as diamond. The more profound the cultivation, the thicker the armor. Generally speaking, it is difficult to hurt the opponent's body without breaking the elemental armor.
What's more, he is a "Karen" possessed by the will of an evil god!
Back in the Black Wind Territory, Ryan saw with his own eyes the Marfa Great Witch Priest and the top warriors of the Coleman tribe besieging the evil god's will. Despite the small number of people and a ten-fold difference in total combat power, the fight was still a close one.
It can be imagined that the defense and combat power of this evil god have reached the extreme in the world!
But!
It was this existence that was acknowledged by Master Kavo as "invincible", but at this moment, in the Omar Palace, he was stabbed directly by the old man with a knife.
The hand knife wrapped in the dark blue wind-type fighting spirit was like a sharp blade made of steel and iron, and it easily cut into the elemental armor formed by the dazzling white light on the second prince's body.
This palm strike was not blocked at all.
After the palm strike, it was unstoppable!
“So strong!”
Seeing this, Ryan's pupils shrank suddenly.
Others may not understand how exquisite the sword of the Qigong master who disappeared for seventy years is, but for Ryan, who has just learned Andrew's unique skills, it is very clear. This is the secret method of "Jiechuanliu Qigong" - [Condensing Qi into Gang]!
Then, this knife directly pierced through Karen's chest and came out from the back.
Before the evil god's will completely arrived, Andrew, the "world's number one qigong master", gave him a heavy blow!
…
"How many levels has his fighting spirit been compressed?!"
Ryan widened his eyes and looked at everything in front of him.
Although he knew that Andrew was very strong, he didn't expect him to be so "absurdly" strong!
Can you believe that the elemental armor protecting the evil god's will can be broken with just one strike?
This is something that even the Great Priest of Marfa or Master Kavo, who is recognized as the best in the world, cannot do.
The fighting spirit of others is like a blazing flame, but this old man's fighting spirit condensed on his body surface into a layer of viscous fluid like asphalt, with faint signs of crystallization!
When listening to Andrew's explanation last night, Ryan learned that [Condensing Qi into Gang] can break through the protective fighting spirit of transcendent people at a high level.
Because Andrew had no opponent to demonstrate to, he didn't know how strong the old man was now.
Now look...
Only the two words "wow" can express the shock in my heart.
With just this one move of Andrew's sword, even masters of the level of the Great Shaman of Marfa and Kavo would not dare to take it head-on!
Indeed, no one can be underestimated in this extraordinary world.
There are all kinds of extraordinary abilities and all kinds of unique "skills", so never underestimate anyone!
Metternich, who was standing by, narrowed his eyes as he watched all this. A look of understanding appeared on his face. He muttered, "Tsk tsk... Although the realm of that evil god is high, the power of the law he can mobilize is still within this 'rule'. Even if it is at the peak of the fifth level, it is still the fifth level."
After a pause, he murmured again: "But the old man's ability to compress his fighting spirit is very strong no matter how you look at it..."
Ymir, who was protecting Ryan, also breathed a sigh of relief. It was the first time she saw this "grandfather" take action. She didn't expect him to be so strong.
…
Andrew pierced Karen's chest with one knife.
For a normal person, this kind of injury would almost certainly result in death.
Moreover, it is not just the miraculous skill ]. As the number one fighter in Oma seventy years ago, Andrew's fighting skills have reached the pinnacle.
When facing a strong enemy, he will never give the enemy any breathing time!
At the same time as his right hand pierced through the evil "Karen"'s chest, his left hand came back and stabbed the enemy's throat.
The knife was also used without any obstruction. With a crisp sound of "crack", the neck of "Karen" seemed to have been cut by a blunt knife, leaving a palm-sized gap.
But... a strange scene appeared again!
Before everyone could react to Andrew's extraordinary fighting power, they discovered that although the two wounds on Karen's body were fatal, not a single drop of blood splattered.
And the two wounds were healed by the white light in a very short time.
When Ryan saw this familiar scene, he blurted out, "It's an elemental body!"
When I was in Black Wind Territory, the same thing happened to Kipling, the Lord of Glory City. This was a level of elemental understanding that the world could not comprehend at all, and it was a method that only the evil god from outside the domain could control.
This ability is very tricky for those with extraordinary physical abilities.
Andrew obviously saw through this, and frowned. He skillfully blocked the attack of the evil god, and then shouted: "Palace Mage Group, attack with me!"
"yes!"
The next moment, several palace priests with powerful auras appeared and surrounded and attacked "Karen" together.
There was almost no room for transcendents below level four to participate in a battle of this magnitude. Andrew and the priests directly forced the evil god out of the parliament hall, fighting him further and further away.
Hundreds of people were left in the parliament hall looking at each other in bewilderment.
…
Low-level transcendents cannot interfere in the battles between top-level warriors, not to mention that there are court priests and imperial guards to handle it.
And now, the nobles in the huge parliament hall were in chaos.
The reason why this throne is so important, apart from being "legitimate", the most important thing is that it is related to the super control over the Omar Palace, the only "hegemonic" mechanical city in the world!
The old emperor held in his hand something that looked like an imperial seal, which was the "key" to control the core equipment and magic equipment in the mechanical city.
With this invincible mechanical city, no city in Omar can withstand its artillery fire.
With it, wars of conquest between territories are almost invincible.
This is also the most important reason why the princes want to fight for legitimacy.
The old emperor's body was still lying there. The second prince, Karen, who had been designated as the 16th emperor of the Omar Empire by an imperial decree, had also become a believer in the evil god, and accidents happened one after another.
Once the old emperor died, everyone seemed to have lost their backbone.
Now the question arises again, who will be the emperor?
Although, in addition to Ymir, several elders of the Spuglin royal family knew that the old emperor had issued an edict to usurp the throne to the second prince Karen.
But now this edict has completely lost its meaning.
Whether it is from the perspective of Ryan and others, or the Fourth Prince, the Eighth Prince, or those neutral nobles, they will never allow Omar to fall into the control of an evil god.
At this moment, the fourth prince Muller saw the opportunity and a ruthless look flashed across his face. He suddenly shouted, "Guards, listen up! Anyone who kneels to worship the evil god will be killed without mercy!"
There was a murderous tone in his voice, and there was no intention of showing mercy.
Everyone understands that this is an attempt to eliminate dissidents.
Most of the evil god's followers are the second prince's men. Although Karen has lost the qualification to inherit the throne, these nobles who have become evil god's followers must not be kept.
This sentence is not as simple as just killing the dozen or so nobles in the parliament hall. The families behind them will definitely be cleansed out and many people will die in the future.
But no one objects. Now "worship of evil gods" is like a plague and no one can touch it.
Anyone who speaks up for the evil god's followers will surely bring disaster upon themselves.
What was unexpected was that after hearing the order, several teams of fully armed guards rushed in aggressively.
Seems to have been prepared.
The commanders expressed their opinions without hesitation, standing behind the Fourth Prince and saluting in unison: "Fourth Prince!"
…
Seeing this, the Eighth Prince finally understood and was shocked: "Mueller, you...you actually had a secret relationship with the Imperial Guards!"
Everyone understood that the Fourth Prince Mueller had been prepared. Even if he was not the heir in the edict today, he was planning a coup by force!
The Imperial Palace Guards are the emperor's exclusive guards. Anyone who has any affair with them is considered to be rebellious, which is a big taboo.
However, that was before the old emperor died.
In the current situation, everyone understands that only the Fourth Prince and the Eighth Prince are qualified to seize power.
Now...it's time to re-align.
Fourth Prince Mueller did not explain anything to his eighth brother. He was not idle during the more than a year that the old emperor was bedridden.
At this time, he looked at Ymir and Ryan not far away, and said in a deep voice: "Aunt, the palace is not safe now. The guards will escort you and Mr. Ryan away for the time being. I will apologize to you two after my nephew settles the matter..."
Although Mueller's attitude was humble, cautious and polite, he did not show much fear.
Judging from the current situation, he has already taken control of most of the palace guards, which is enough to stabilize the situation in the palace.
He was not worried about the four people of Ryan, but the eight hundred mechanical warriors of Black Dragon City outside the palace. In this situation, one less enemy would save a lot of trouble.
Hearing this, both Ymir and the royal elders looked solemn, but said nothing.
Today, Omar needs a strong-armed emperor to take power.
Although it seems that the Fourth Prince intends to kill his brother to take the throne.
But... it seems that this is the only way to quell the chaos.
Ryan did not interfere with Omar's military coup plan. He didn't care who came to power.
What's more, there is a "death disaster" in divination that we must guard against.
He glanced at Ymir, and they nodded in tacit understanding, and then he prepared to turn around and leave the council hall.
As for Metternich...
He looked at the "King of Clubs" and "Queen of Clubs" in his hand turned into ashes, and pursed his lips, no longer interested in watching this military coup.
The enemy is dead, just like a stage without an audience, and there is no point for the clown to stay any longer.
However, he sneered in his heart: "It's not that easy to seize power like this."
This situation of Omar was created by Metternich himself.
Except for the fact that the events in Glory City were beyond his comprehension, he knew almost all the cards in the hands of the princes.
It was a situation where everyone was doomed to fail, which led to the complete collapse of Omar. How could it be so easy for the Fourth Prince to seize the imperial power?
Sure enough, at this moment, fierce artillery fire suddenly sounded outside the city.
This was not a scattered battle, but the sound of thousands of artillery pieces firing in the mechanical city.
Boom, boom, boom…
The roar of the earth breaking and the sky collapsing resounded throughout the entire "Usenbar".
The civil war has begun.
There are a total of twenty main urban areas in the Oma Imperial City, and each urban area is an extra-large mechanical city.
They are usually connected together by steel bridges, but can split into individuals at any time and turn into war castles.
And these mechanical cities are all controlled by various top nobles.
At this moment, the information from the palace had already spread out, and the nobles of various factions split up the mechanical city and began to bombard each other...
…
There were sounds of gunfire in the city, but the fourth prince Mueller did not show much surprise.
As long as he can control the palace, he can just clean up the mess later.
Now that his second brother is out, his only competitor left is his eighth brother.
As long as we kill this guy, the outcome will be settled.
Now that Ren and Ymir are gone, it seems like no one can stop him from killing people.
There were corpses scattered all over the council hall. They were the followers of the evil god.
At this time, Muller's eyes flashed with coldness, and he shouted to the guards: "I suspect there are still lurking evil god believers here..."
He pointed at the Eighth Prince and the nobles behind him and said, "Lock them up! If they dare to resist, I will kill them without mercy!"
Everyone knows this is an excuse, but no one dares to argue against it.
If you are caught, you may still have a chance to survive if you surrender;
If you resist, you will die.
For a moment, the faces of the nobles behind the Eighth Prince turned pale with fright.
At this point, the Fourth Prince can almost be said to be in control of all power.
But no one expected that at this moment, several figures instantly moved into the parliament hall and protected the eighth prince.
This is not about fast movement speed, but the vampire's method of instant movement.
Upon closer inspection, they turned out to be several high-level vampires with green faces and fangs!
The fourth prince Mueller's pupils suddenly shrank, and he shouted: "Ebel, you actually colluded with Sid's people!"
Now it’s lively again.
The succession of Omar's imperial power involved the Theed Empire, and the nature of the matter changed.
The Eighth Prince also showed a grim smile on his face. He did not mention the matter of the blood clan, but took out an imperial edict and shouted: "My father has issued an edict for me to inherit the throne. Muller attempted to launch a coup to seize power. Guards, listen to my orders, follow me to eliminate the rebellion..."
Ryan, who had not walked far, heard the shout and his eyebrows twitched.
Obviously, this is a fake edict.
None of the princes are easy to deal with.
Everything was prepared.
At this time, bad news came one after another. The palace suddenly shook violently. "Fourth Prince, it's bad! Grandmaster Roscoe of the Royal Academy suddenly rebelled. He commanded and controlled the [City of Destruction] to attack the palace..."
Rothko was the last Grand Master of Mechanics of the Royal Academy of Sciences of Omar. He was originally loyal to the emperor and belonged to the "neutral" camp.
In his hands, he controls Omar's most advanced war mechanical city - the [City of Destruction].
This is the only mechanical city that can compete with the Imperial Palace in terms of combat power.
Now the palace is being bombarded. It goes without saying that these are the Eighth Prince's men.
And now the Eighth Prince has secretly defected to the Sid Empire, which means that after today, no matter who becomes the emperor of Oma, it will no longer be the unified and powerful Oma before...
…
The eight-armed Deer God mecha controlled by Grandpa Tust stood beside Ryan and Ymir to prevent them from being accidentally injured by artillery fire.
They were no longer interested in caring about Omar's tortuous coup, nor did they have the ability to stop it.
In this kind of super-large melee involving tens of millions of people, the eight hundred machines of Black Dragon City are more than enough to protect themselves, but if they want to join the battle, they probably won't be able to cause any waves.
The best option is to leave the imperial capital as soon as possible.
But at this moment, an accident happened.
Ryan suddenly felt a chill on his neck, and then discovered with horror that something sharp seemed to have slid across his neck.
The next moment, he realized that there was an assassin!
Being able to hide from Thunder Crow's perception and from Ymir beside him means that this person's stealth ability is definitely top-notch among assassins.
They immediately thought that the person who came was the ceiling of the assassin world, one of the "Ten Legends" [Night Ghost] Roscoe!
It was not a "throat slitting", but Ryan's head was directly cut off.
The next moment, Ryan's head fell off, and blood gushed out from the broken neck like a fountain...
