Electromagnetic Tyrant

Chapter 543: All People Are Enemies
"abdicate?"

The Iron Emperor had a gloomy face.

He stared at Ji Xinghuo with extremely complicated emotions in his eyes, two parts anger, two parts expectation, and the remaining six parts were all absurdity.

He lived for more than two centuries and witnessed the dramatic changes before and after the Earth opened the star gate. He emerged from blood and fire, worked hard to climb, and finally created a powerful empire. However, he was ultimately forced to abdicate by a young man who was not even thirty years old!
What made the Iron Emperor feel even more absurd was that the threat from the young man in front of him was real, without any falsehood.

If you don't abdicate, the consequences will be serious!
Although the Iron Emperor had a clear understanding of the nature of power and had used similar methods to eliminate dissidents countless times, he was even more unable to accept it when he became the weaker party and was oppressed by power.

All those years of hard work and so many political struggles now seem like a joke.

"Ji Xinghuo, you want me to abdicate with just one sentence. Aren't you thinking too simply?" The Iron Emperor said in a deep voice, "Do you really think you are invincible in the world?"

"Yes."

Ji Xinghuo nodded, "I am invincible."

"Young man, don't be arrogant!" The Iron Emperor has been in a high position for a long time, and he hasn't been confronted so bluntly in many years.

"Mr. Ivan." Ji Xinghuo changed his name. The Iron Emperor's name was "Ivan Zhugashvili". He smiled at him and said, "If the Führer hadn't thought of our old friendship and wanted to keep you alive, I wouldn't have wanted to waste time talking to you."

The implication is that he wants to kill him directly.

This was beyond description as arrogant. The Iron Emperor felt the cold murderous intent, but he was not afraid. Instead, he was eager to try.

"You think I'm that wimp Anthony John?"

The Iron Emperor stood in front of the emperor's throne. He was only about 1.7 meters tall, maybe even less than 1.7 meters, but at this moment he was as tall as a mountain. His voice echoed in the hall: "Ji Xinghuo, let me see your strength!"

As he spoke, he grasped the war hammer at the foot of the throne.

This is the most famous weapon on Earth, and the Iron Emperor carries it with him wherever he goes, almost becoming his symbol.

The Iron Emperor usually calls it "the hammer".

The New Roman Empire developed an unconventional Gauss pistol, which was named after this weapon, "The Great's Hammer". It is extremely powerful. Ji Xinghuo used this firearm when he was in the Sword Bureau.

This was the first time Ji Xinghuo saw the real thing with his own eyes.

The appearance of the war hammer is very simple. The rectangular hammer head has a flat and square surface, and the handle is about one meter long. The whole looks like an ordinary hammer that has been magnified several times.

The information interface of the Wanxiang Xingpupil Appraisal popped up.

[Treasure: Giant Hammer]

[Grade: Apocalypse Two Star]

[Function: Great Change Level 4, Solidity Level 6, Heavy Attack Level 5, Destruction Strike Level 3]

[Note: Weight: 18.2 tons]

"A very nice weapon."

Ji Xinghuo finished reading the information in an instant and was a little surprised. This giant hammer actually came with the "great transformation" and reached the fourth level. He also had this rare super-limit ability and could grow bigger and heavier at the same time.

The effects of the Giant Hammer are not many and not complicated.

But its power should not be underestimated, as it has both weight and burst. Especially the "destructive blow" is a Starfall ability, which gathers all the power into one blow to unleash several times the physical damage, using head-on collisions, and is said to be indestructible.

Among the weapons at the second level of Apocalypse, the Giant Hammer is the top-level one.

And it's very suitable for power-type Inhumans.

Ji Xinghuo had already read the analysis files on the Iron Emperor's strength, but none of them were as clear and intuitive as observing it with his own eyes.

He looked away from the giant hammer and looked at the Iron Emperor who was glaring at him. He suddenly smiled and said, "Mr. Ivan, you came from the Star Realm in your early years. After being an emperor for so many years, you have long lost the fighting spirit and bloodiness of your youth. If you really want to fight me, just do it directly."

The Iron Emperor's expression froze.

Others would be intimidated by his authority, and under the halo of the emperor's title, they would not even dare to look him in the eye.

But Ji Xinghuo won’t.

When the light of power faded, he was just a more powerful alien in front of Ji Xinghuo.

All those schemes and rhetoric were useless and were seen through at a glance.

The Iron Emperor hesitated for a few seconds, then said in a deep voice, "It's impossible for me to abdicate just because of your words."

His attitude is no longer as tough as before.

This is to be negotiated.

However, Ji Xinghuo did not want to bargain with the other party. "Mr. Ivan, our Ministry of Foreign Affairs sent you a 'Notice of Abdication', not a negotiation document. Three times the limit, you have rejected diplomatic negotiations twice, there will not be a third chance."

"But you didn't mention negotiations before! I thought it only involved the demarcation of African territorial boundaries."

"Are you willing to talk if it's mentioned?"

Ji Xinghuo laughed.

The Iron Emperor was speechless. If the Asia-Pacific Community sent a document asking the emperor to abdicate and dissolve the empire, he would never accept it and there would be no room for negotiation. Only if Ji Xinghuo came in front of him and threatened him with force would he be willing to talk. However, at this time, he had lost his bargaining capital and even his life was in danger.

"Mr. Ivan, this is the 'Ivangelista Declaration' drafted by us." Ji Xinghuo took out a piece of paper and floated it into the hands of the Iron Emperor. "You just need to follow the rules." The Iron Emperor began to read.

The page was just a brief summary of two dozen demands:
First, the emperor announced his abdication and abolished the power and special treatment of the royal family members; second, the empire was dissolved and joined the Asia-Pacific Community; third, the military command was transferred to the military of the Asia-Pacific Community and accepted for reorganization; fourth, the control of nuclear weapons and air defense systems was transferred; fifth, the imperial cabinet was dissolved; sixth, the administrative regions were replanned nationwide; seventh, senior officials were replaced and appointed; eighth, Internet public opinion was controlled; ninth, the management of the banking system was transferred, etc. ...

This light piece of paper seems heavier than a mountain.

The Iron Emperor asked to read it one by one, his face turned pale, and he finished reading the content while suppressing his anger.

"How is this different from treason?" he asked angrily. "I cannot accept these conditions. This is more humiliating than the Treaty of Ivangelista!"

The Treaty of Ivangelista was a "peace treaty" signed by the four major powers of the Earth in the 60s, which ended the Fourth World War. At that time, the New Roman Empire was on the verge of extinction and was forced to sign the treaty.

That was considered by the Iron Emperor as the greatest shame of his life and was also a scar in the hearts of the citizens of the New Roman Empire.

Ji Xinghuo had no expression on his face.

"This is not a treaty. You don't need to sign it." He said calmly, "I am ordering you to do it."

The star power and blood surged in the Iron Emperor's body, his eyes turned red, and he raised the handle of the Giant Hammer.

"Don't think I don't have the courage to fight you."

His voice was like a bell, and every word he uttered was like the sound of steel colliding. "Even if I die, the people of the empire will not be conquered. Anyone who dares to invade the empire will pay the price in blood!"

"narrow."

Ji Xinghuo snorted and said contemptuously: "When the people of the world are integrated and there are no longer any national differences, who will remember you, a feudal monarch who is backward in thinking, stubborn and trying to block global unification?"

After a pause, he continued, "Do you really think you can control the empire and take crazy revenge for your death?"

"It just takes a little more effort."

"Anyway, it's the Imperials who died, and you're the ones who paid the price."

Ji Xinghuo had an indifferent attitude.

The Iron Emperor became even more furious, his body gradually swelled, and just when he was about to explode and fight to the death with Ji Xinghuo, he suddenly received several call requests at the same time, and the senders were all core figures of the empire.

He hesitated.

Ji Xinghuo said, "Please connect."

The Iron Emperor sensed something was wrong and quickly answered the call. A large screen was projected in front of him and divided into more than a dozen split screens. Each split screen showed the characters and scenes on the opposite side, from all over the country.

Five of them are superstars, namely "Lady Winter" Zimina; "Magic Bear" Zakharov; "Flame Witch King" Belelenko; "Arrow" Maxim Kalinin and the superstar who was promoted to superstar a few years ago.

Including the Iron Emperor, there are a total of six kings in the New Roman Empire, all of whom are the Iron Emperor's confidants.

On the other split screens were the Prime Minister and several Imperial generals, the top leaders of the government and the military.

At this moment, these people were in a miserable state and were controlled by others.

One by one they were injured or unable to move.

There was an identical figure on each split screen, with black eyes, black hair, and a tall and straight figure. They were all Ji Xinghuo's shadow clones. After the call was forced through, all the shadow clones cast cold glances at the Iron Emperor on the screen.

"His Majesty!"

"His Majesty……"

Some of the kings and high officials of the New Roman Empire still didn't know what was happening.

When they saw the Iron Emperor, they shouted loudly, wanting to issue a warning. Then they saw Ji Xinghuo standing opposite the Iron Emperor. They all looked despair and shocked, thinking that the Iron Emperor had also been controlled.

"What a trick!"

The Iron Emperor's eyelids were twitching wildly.

Only then did he realize that while Ji Xinghuo was confronting him, a group of shadow clones were taking action in various parts of the empire.

One man suppresses the empire!
At this moment, the entire New Roman Empire's high-level power and strategic forces were completely controlled by Ji Xinghuo. With just a thought, he could destroy the empire's ruling class, and the subsequent conquest would not encounter much resistance.

When Ji Xinghuo said “put in more effort”, it was not bluffing, but it could really be done!
"Mr. Ivan, I give you 30 seconds." Ji Xinghuo issued an ultimatum.

A 30-second countdown appeared on the screen.

The Iron Emperor's expression changed.

When the countdown reached 20 seconds, Ji Xinghuo seemed to remember something and said casually, "Oh, by the way, the head of state promised that after the Empire joins the Asia-Pacific Community, Mr. Ivan will personally obtain a very high political status and serve as the vice chairman of the Global United Parliament."

The upper echelons of the empire on the screen all cast their eyes over.

Didn't you tell me earlier?

This promise broke the Iron Emperor's last psychological defense, and his will finally wavered.

However, in front of all his subjects, the Iron Emperor did not agree immediately. With 10 seconds left on the countdown, he said to Ji Xinghuo: "The glory of Rome does not allow me to surrender before a fight. You must defeat me before you can conquer the empire."
