Chapter 317 Human Emperor
By the time Ke Ling returned to the imperial capital, Bud, Nadezhda and others had already started the grand court meeting. The efficiency was very high, mainly because everyone was paying attention to the changes in the palace.

With such a big incident happening in the palace, the ministers in the imperial capital would certainly not turn a blind eye to it, but the thunder in the sky, the sudden drop in temperature and snow, these horrifying phenomena made them dare not get involved at all, and they could only hide like turtles.

When the big guys are fighting, of course mortals will stay as far away from them as possible. They just need to wait to be summoned by the winner.

Bud's call has obviously proved who the winner is. Many people were surprised. After all, judging from the impact alone, it is obvious that Esdeath's ability is more terrifying. The celestial phenomena of the entire imperial capital have been changed by Esdeath.

But it is useless to say all this now. They just need to see who the final winner is. Whoever wins will naturally be able to control the government.

So, when the news that Ernest was overthrown and the little emperor was deposed was announced, everyone was stunned.

No, buddy, everyone can understand that you overthrew Minister Ernest. It was to clear out the bad officials around you, and after that, you would take control of the country's power.

But, what kind of operation is it that you directly deposed the little emperor? !

Most of these ministers in the imperial capital were very familiar with the affairs of the royal family. The turmoil that occurred when the young emperor ascended the throne led to the almost complete massacre of the royal family by Ernest. This taboo news was almost laid out in the open.

Now that the young emperor has been deposed, who will take the throne? Those who are qualified to take the throne have already gone to hell. General Bud can't just pick someone and make him emperor, right?! This is too much of an appointment, it doesn't conform to the tradition of the empire!

Although they were shocked, few dared to speak out. These officials serving in the imperial capital had naturally been screened by Minister Ernest over and over again, and were the ones remaining after several elimination rounds.

They have been able to stand firm in the court until now. Naturally, they all know clearly when to speak, when to shut up, and what they absolutely cannot say.

Now facing the new people in power, they will certainly not throw away that ability, so naturally no one dares to confront Bud directly.

Of course, the Empire has existed for so many years, and there are still many die-hard fans. Bud's actions can be said to have directly ignited their anger. After hearing this news, their forbearance was shattered on the spot. The Empire is over! The royal family is over! Who should they be loyal to? !

Originally, at least Minister Ernest still coaxed the little emperor, and these "loyal ministers of the empire" could also turn a blind eye to their life just like Budd did. In fact, it was precisely because of Budd's existence that they could feel at ease and take it for granted that they were just sitting in the court doing nothing.

But now, Bud had personally removed their last fig leaf and ended the royal rule, which made them unbelievable.

Many people were dumbfounded. Some of them just obeyed Budd. Even Budd was like this, what else could they do? Others had their worldviews shattered, went completely crazy, and stood up to curse Budd.

Bud showed no mercy to this. These people wanted to stand up for the royal family and wanted to live and die with the old empire, so he would help them. Bud knew the quality of these people best. He was good at making trouble but not good at doing anything.

Those who truly posed a threat to Ernest would not be able to stay in the court. It would not take long for Ernest to frame them with charges. For such people, he could only try his best to keep them away from the imperial capital and save their lives.

Most of those who hold positions in the court are Ernest's puppets, and there are only a few of them who have real abilities.

"Bud! You are rebelling against your superiors and doing evil things. All the wise men in the world will rise up against you! Your end will be the same as Ernest's!"

Several crazy royal supporters were dragged away by the soldiers. This scene left the "important officials in the court" with lingering fears.

Many people are thinking, this is really no different from the domineering Ernest? It's the same "dissenters die".

The only difference is that Bud doesn't try to hold the emperor hostage. I'm afraid this guy Bud is going to declare himself emperor directly!

The important ministers looked at each other in bewilderment. Nabud had really played a big game. Although the little emperor was indeed a very inhumane person, this was, after all, a thousand-year-old royal family. This inheritance was not so easy to take over.

There is actually nothing wrong with what those old guys said. Maybe there will really be a bunch of diehard fans of the empire and the royal family who will stand up against Bud.

In other words, this just gave other ambitious people the best reason. They could revolt under the banner of "restoring royal rule." This was also a banner of justice, and it was handed to them by Bud himself.

Ke Ling was watching from the side. He felt that Bud was indeed a bit extreme now, and was a bit harsh in his attack on the little emperor who was completely disappointed.

There is indeed a softer and smoother way to deal with it, but Bud chose not to do that. He was ready to explode all the problems and solve them once and for all.

"this is okay too."

Ke Ling had no objection to this. He would expose all the hidden dangers, let the ethnic minorities, An Ning Dao, the revolutionary army, ambitious people from all over the empire, local forces, and royalists rise up in resistance, have a big fight, and then solve them all at once. This was the standard of "short pain is worse than long pain".

In the short term, it will indeed be very chaotic, but in the long run, it cannot be considered a bad thing. After all, you have to clean the house, and what needs to be settled will be settled sooner or later.

"Please invite General Bud to ascend the throne and inherit the throne!"

Among the "important officials in the court", some people seized the opportunity, thinking that they were very tactful, and took the initiative to step forward and start "persuading the emperor to ascend the throne". The atmosphere had become so intense that someone had to step forward, and these yes-men of Ernest were indeed good at flattering him.

As soon as one person stood up, the second and the third followed. It can only be said that this is a government team carefully selected by Minister Ernest, and they are indeed very capable. This scene made Nadezhda laugh and cry. Perhaps these people had rehearsed in advance, waiting for the day when Minister Ernest would ascend the throne?

"."

Bud was speechless and didn't respond at all, which surprised everyone, especially those who tried to persuade him to come in. They were obviously at a loss. No, the atmosphere has already been created like this for you, aren't you satisfied, Bud?

"Lord Devil, please ascend the throne, become the emperor of the empire, and lead us to build a new empire!"

Bud looked directly at Ke Ling, and then began to persuade him to come in. After coming back, Ke Ling had been watching the show with great interest. He didn't expect that he would become the protagonist.

Not only did Ke Ling not expect this, but the ministers present also did not expect this, and those who persuaded him to come in were dumbfounded. A bunch of people looked at Ke Ling. Of course, they had noticed Ke Ling. After all, standing in the crowd, Ke Ling was like a light source, and it was difficult not to notice him. But after Ke Ling came back, he did not say anything, nor did he do anything, he just stood aside. Although they were curious about Ke Ling's identity, they did not care too much.

As a result, Bud directly gave them a big deal. Bud actually let this young man be the emperor. What is the relationship between Bud and this young man? ! Bud's tone is very humble? ! Is Bud working for this young man? !
In an instant, these old hands thought of a lot of things, but the situation was unclear and no one dared to speak. Those who had just persuaded Bud to come in were also embarrassed there, caught in a dilemma. However, there were also some shameless people who immediately followed Bud.

"Please, Lord Devil, take the throne and lead us to build a new empire!"

I can only say that as a politician, he is capable of being flexible and adaptable, and the value of Ernest's selection is still rising!
The emperor of an empire is called the "Emperor", and rebuilding an empire is called the "Second Empire". Ahem, both seem unlucky.

Looking at the situation in front of him, Ke Ling complained in his heart.

But having said that, it's not that he can't be the "Emperor". He won't be in charge of things anyway and will be away often, so he can just set up a cabinet and let them handle the affairs of the empire.

"I will take on this position of emperor with reluctance."

Ke Ling thought for a moment and spoke directly. He did not recite any poetry or anything, but he had already thought of the next arrangements.

"The country cannot be without a ruler for a day. Lord Devil, please ascend the throne immediately."

Bud continued to speak, as if ready to establish this status immediately, so that he would not be regarded as a regicide who wanted to usurp the throne.

"No hurry, let's deal with everything first."

Ke Ling waved his hands. How could he, the "Emperor", ascend the throne so carelessly? Besides, there was no palace or hall now. How could he ascend the throne? Where could he ascend the throne?
The most urgent task is to deal with the rebellion that is about to break out and stabilize the situation in the empire completely first.

"Bud, Nadezhda, I'll leave this matter to you two to handle. You will also be in charge of these people."

Now that he has taken on the title of "Emperor", Ke Ling can no longer act like this. He feels that he has to do more and cannot leave all the problems to Bud and Nadezhda.

So he waved his hand, opened a door, and called out the army of androids, as well as a number of mechanical guards. The large army walked out through a large shadow door opened by Ke Ling.

These androids have been enhanced with magic and are equipped with advanced cyber components. Any one of them can fight against imperial weapons. At least they can crush ordinary soldiers. The mechanical guards are also equipped with high-end equipment.

Although there are guns and hot weapons in this world, the pure technological level is still incomparable to "Cyberpunk 2077". It's just that some applications regarding dangerous species are quite unique. Just look at Dr. Fashion, he is already at the top level of technology in this world.

"Yes, Emperor."

Since Ke Ling had said so, Bud naturally had nothing to say and could only accept Ke Ling's plan to crown him emperor after everything was settled. He had not yet realized the terrifying nature of the army Ke Ling had given him.

"There is no need to rush to build the new palace. I have a professional construction team here. Just leave it to them."

Ke Ling took a look at the imperial city which had been mostly incorporated into the "Shadow Realm" and gave a few simple instructions. He told him that the construction of the new imperial city would be left to his professional construction team. The settlements in the "Shadow Realm" were built by professional construction teams.

Various large-scale mechanical equipment, various precision operating instruments, tireless AI, mechanical workers who never stop working, and professional construction teams are much more efficient than humans.

"As you command, Emperor."

Bud naturally had no objection, as this also reduced their workload.

At this time, everyone realized that the "big black bowl" at the back was actually the work of the "Emperor", and the shadow gate from which androids and mechanical guards were continuously coming out shocked everyone present.

Only then did they understand that this "Emperor" was indeed no simple person. No wonder he could gain the loyalty of a figure like Bud.

After explaining these things, Ke Ling no longer participated in the affairs of Bud and Nadezhda. He has always been a hands-off boss. Although he became the "Emperor", it made no difference to him.

[Ding! Title unlocked: Human Emperor.]

[Human Emperor: When worn, it brings pressure to the human race, making it easier to gain the trust and worship of the human race. ]

However, although Ke Ling himself felt that there was no difference, the [Extreme System] did not seem to think so. He took over the throne of the emperor and was directly awarded a title, and it was a title that seemed quite useful.

The title of [Human Emperor] has very wide applicability. The previous titles like [Hundred Rat Slayer], [Ghoul Slayer] and the like have basically shown no use.

After all, Ke Ling would never deal with mice, and ghouls are a special race in the world of "Tokyo Ghoul". Once they leave that world, they are useless in other worlds.

But the title of [Human Emperor] is different. It applies to humans, and in most of the world, humans are definitely the mainstream race. With this title, coupled with Ke Ling's own charm, he no longer has to worry about being regarded as a villain.

Ke Ling put it on directly. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he felt that the way these ministers looked at him was different. They seemed to have easily accepted the fact that Ke Ling became the "Emperor".

Of course, even if they didn't accept it, there was nothing they could do. So many years had passed, and when Ernest was in power, they had no say and could only obey orders. It is naturally the same now.

Bud and Nadezhda don't mean to be the only ones who have the final say and won't tolerate other people's opinions, but now is a special period after all, and everything must be based on restoring stability to the empire. Other things will naturally have to be postponed.
