Chapter 476 476: 465 The Knight with the Imperial Seal (Super Long Chapter)_2
The same situation took place with Bai Zhongqi.
His face was livid, as he lay in Ling's arms, staring daggers at Xiao Yu.
Xiao Yu's expression was calm, with no sign of fluctuation. He no longer displayed the frantic desperation or fierce demeanor he had when initially questioning if he was the Chancellor, nor was he flattering or obsequious as he had been in his presence before.
He just looked utterly ordinary, not detached, not indifferent, just a matter of course ordinary.
"You actually have the Spear of the Knight of Destiny, Xiao Yu. You've hidden it so well!" Bai Zhongqi said, his teeth clenched tautly.
Xiao Yu took off his military cap, tossing it to the ground without any semblance of military dignity. What he held in his hand was a seal about half a palm in size.
"You might wonder why your Supreme Command can't get in touch with your Empire anymore. Well, let me tell you the answer. Five thousand years ago, the Iridium Star Chancellor discovered twelve Universe Artifacts in the ruins of the Elder Race, namely the banner, flag, ?, drum, horn, bell, bow, spear, shield, disk, ribbon, and the Imperial Seal. Those twelve Universe Artifacts, symbols of sovereignty and destiny, were awarded by the Chancellor to twelve Knights, granting them the title of Knights of Destiny. Among the Twelve Destiny Artifacts, I believe the Imperial Seal has the strongest power."
Saying this, a fanatic gleam finally emerged in Xiao Yu's eyes.
He held the seal, looking mercilessly at Bai Zhongqi, "Since the day the Destiny became one with the Supreme Command, the Twelve Destiny have been under orders from only the Chancellor, but the last of the Destiny, the Imperial Seal, is meant to check the Supreme Command. A Supreme Command issued must be stamped with the Imperial Seal to be valid. Hence, the Chancellor assigned the Seal-bearing Knight the duty of advising the monarch and managing his documents. For five thousand years, the Xiao Family has used this artifact to subtly adjust the Supreme Command, thereby keeping the entire Empire running as usual. If you say over the past five thousand years that the Iridium Star has been truly ruled by the Twelve Destiny Families, then the true ruler among those Twelve Destiny is none other than us, the Xiao Family people."
The sunlight shone on the Imperial Seal, casting a mesmerizing spectrum of colors. Observing the Seal in his hand, Xiao Yu's stature seemed all the more imposing.
"Bai Zhongqi, you are not the Chancellor at all. Your understanding of the Twelve Destiny and the Supreme Command is terrifyingly shallow. If you truly were the Chancellor, to consolidate your power, you would have searched the Seal on me first, as it's the only thing that can temporarily impede the Supreme Command. Unfortunately, to activate the Seal's power, one needs to be at least a Star Warrior master. Moreover, once activated, it can only block the Supreme Command for 600 seconds."
Xiao Yu revealed a smile, looking at Bai Zhongqi and making a gesture of checking a watch, even though he had no actual watch, saying, "600 seconds have now passed."
Ling looked at Xiao Yu with enmity, but she dared not leave Bai Zhongqi's side for even a step, afraid someone would attack him.
And the thing she feared eventually happened.
Almost imperceptibly, a figure dashed out, Ling summoning nearly all her Star Energy to clash with this person.
In the fleeting moment of their Star Energy colliding, Ling discerned the person's features.
"Ha!"
Ling gasped in shock, turning to look at Bai Zhongqi.
Next to Bai Zhongqi, unbeknownst when, stood a bald man. Second Class Guard Commander Lv Yalong hoisted his light blade in a rush to rescue the Chancellor, but the bald man merely flicked his hand, sending Lv Yalong flying backward to smash into the wall dozens of meters away, his muscles and bones shattered.
Bai Zhongqi watched, disbelieving the smirking bald man before him who behaved just as he usually did, but now his smile was filled with endless mockery and frost.
With an inconspicuous sweep of his finger, a blade-like gleam of light cut across Bai Zhongqi's arm, severing the forearm that connected with the brainbone and Supreme Command game save, blood spurting wildly!
"No!" Ling screamed, unleashing all her latent potential. She disabled Hu in midair, trying to rush forward to reclaim her Chancellor.
But the still-beaming bald man punched without any embellishments, turning Ling's assault to nothing.
Xiao Yu approached Bai Zhongqi, stepping on his shoulder, he reached down to pick up the severed arm off the ground, muttering to himself: "Previously, my ancestors always speculated that the Supreme Command wasn't some intangible entity but, like our Universe Artifacts, something tangible that could be controlled. I do not believe you are the Chancellor who once led my ancestors and other Knights of Destiny into battle, but I do not doubt the Supreme Command is within you."
From that time, I was so excited I could hardly sleep night after night. If you truly were the invincible Chancellor, I probably wouldn't dare to do anything to you, but you are just a normal person who has obtained the Supreme Command. Fulfilling the grand aspiration of my ancestors to control the Supreme Command, it can finally be realized through me!"
Bai Zhongqi, gritting his teeth, clutched his severed arm to stem the bleeding. Due to the pain, his face was covered in sweat. He was still in shock, unable to keep pace with the swift changes happening around him.
Xiao Yu pulled out the bone connected to the brain from Bai Zhongqi's severed arm, saying, "You might be curious how I knew the Supreme Command was here. Well, there's no harm in telling you. It's because the Imperial Seal is most sensitive to the Supreme Command, and from the moment you arrived at the Fleet, you were very cautious about your own left arm. Considering these factors, I naturally knew it was here."
What do you think?
