The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order

Chapter 771: Breaking into the Silver City (I)

The new Prime Minister was none other than the Crown Prince of the Godslayer Humankind Empire, Michael Goldsoul.

At the start of The Great Cataclysm, the Imperial Court and Prime Minister Minxet naturally sought the guidance and power of the Golden Emperor. In times of danger and chaos, it was expected that an Emperorʼs strength and overwhelming power could bring peace and stability to the empire.

Unfortunately, the Golden Emperor seemed to have secluded himself into his cultivation abode, and there was no way to reach him, not even to communicate with him through their Ego Waves or A.I. Chip. This brought chaos and problems to the Imperial Court, led by Prime Minister Minxet.

While Prime Minister Minxet was an extremely competent individual, he needed the direct support of the Golden Emperor to mobilize all Sector Dukes and even make those arrogant and insufferable Noble Families heed his command.

However, that was just the beginning of the plight. Before the day ended, Michael Goldsoul appeared in the Imperial Court Hall with a decree from the Golden Emperor, stating that he was the new Prime Minister and had absolute control of the empire during this time of chaos.

Of course, Michael Goldsoulʼs sudden appearance with a decree from the Golden Emperor, whom no one could talk to, was suspicious, to say the least. However, he was the Crown Prince, so if the Golden Emperor was going to speak to someone, it made sense for that person to be his favorite son.

Prime Minister Minxet felt something was wrong, but there was not much he could do, as he lacked the brute power and connections to face someone like Michael Goldsoul. He quietly stepped down from his position to avoid more chaos and prevent any bloodshed.

Despite the way he obtained the role of Prime Minister, Michael Goldsoul had always been a competent individual with impressive talent and battle power. The Imperial Court expected to work with the man to bring back peace and stability to the Godslayer Humankind Empire.

However, things did not go that way. During the second day after the start of The Great Cataclysm, Michael Goldsoul changed all the upper echelon of the Imperial Court, replacing those capable people that sought the best for the empire with a bunch of well-connected yet useless and self-serving buffoons that only sought to enrich themselves.

Minxet and the old ministers realized there was something very wrong with Michael Goldsoul. Yet, there was nothing they could do as the man began to mobilize the forces and resources of the Imperial Army in such a way that it practically left the north to fend for themselves against the invading army from the Inferno Daemon Race.

Of course, there was some criticism, but while Michael Goldsoul appeared not to care, anyone who dared to say a word against him would mysteriously disappear during the night.

The new upper echelon of the Imperial Court did not care about any of that, and the only thing on their minds was to keep getting richer under the guidance of the new Prime Minister.

Who cared if there was something wrong with Michael Goldsoul or if the entire empire burned under the flames of war as long as they could keep enriching themselves?

Of course, the Imperial Courtʼs priority had changed. Now, they wanted to survive, and the only one who could help them face the monster that was the Scarlet Alliance was Michael Goldsoul, which was why they were so happy to see him.

”Prime Minister, we need your guidance. We are facing an unprecedented threat, and traitors all over the empire refuse to answer our summons.”

One of the ministers immediately shouted after that formal bow, showing very little etiquette and none of the calm that a member of the Imperial Court should possess. Still, Michael Goldsoul only smiled at the man.

”There is no need to worry. We donʼt need their help to face the Scarlet Alliance. All I need to take down that man is right here.”

As the minister heard those words from the Crown Prince and saw the manʼs eyes focusing on them, a sense of satisfaction appeared in their hearts. They honestly believed that their abilities were so impressive that they could turn the tables by following the Crown Prince.

Michaelʼs smile grew wider as he saw the look on those ministersʼ faces, and then his eyes turned to the Marshal of Silver City, General Carsor.

”General, you proposed the idea of using the people of the city as soldiers to face the incoming threat, right?”

The young general was slightly nervous when he heard that question, but he softly nodded.

”Every Godslayer Human is a great warrior. It doesnʼt matter their occupation or age.”

Silence reigned for a moment as the other ministers glanced at the Crown Prince. Although they all thought of using those people as human shields, they knew that the old Prime Minister Minxet would have sent anyone to the dungeons if they offered such a path.

However, Michael only smiled as he softly nodded.

”You are right. That is a good path, as it would help us fight the incoming threat.”

A sense of thrill appeared in the ministersʼ eyes as they began to see the light at the end of the tunnel. It was clear that the Crown Prince was ready to go to any lengths, meaning they would not have to beat around the bush with their inhumane and shameful tactics.

Michael was about to speak again when his eyes narrowed as he focused in the distance. His smile vanished, and a dark and ominous light appeared in his eyes, so dense and dark that it made those pathetic ministers tremble.

Just as they wondered what could have incited such a response in the always-calm Prime Minister, they saw with shock and awe how the entire Silver City began to glow. In the following second, massive teleportation formations began to appear, covering every inch of the city.
