My beast Emperor System

Chapter 174: Civil war!

"Aaaaah!" Lucien was pulled back to reality as the vision stopped midway, making him wish he saw the rest of the battle between the two beasts. Although he had expected something like this to happen in the first place, Lucien never expected the god of death of their world could be toyed with in such a manner. His annoyed gaze fell on the Raizen god spirit avatar trying to break free but was pinned down by fiery blue chains from Rakuzen.

"What do you plan to do now?" Rakuzen asked casually while shooting Lucien a glance.

"I make Raizen's power mine and then go help the emperor," Lucien said while focusing on consuming the Raizen avatar with the beast assimilation.

At this point, he was more shocked than worried. He could still remember back then when then Invaders Blink and Clovis spoke on their masters coming. He thought it was just unnecessary boasting but seeing it happen today left him stunned. To think that someone like Blink would have a powerful being like Derik as his master.

"Derik is coming for you but no one knows that, let's keep it that way. Once a foreign being invades a god vein, his powers are suppressed so yes, there may be a fighting chance You all may be able to defeat him if things are done properly. The people you have to be worried about are those who will try to stop you" Rakuzen said calmly.

Hearing this Lucien frowned as he considered something. During the invasion led by Blink and Clovis, the duo vanished for a week or so and many believed they were hidden by someone influential in the empire. Apart from the Wuxing clan patriarch, it is very unlikely there is someone else who can challenge the emperor in terms of strength in this empire. This led him to believe that Derik Angus's arrival may have something to do with the coup.

"Is there really a chance that these idiots are working with the invader?" Lucien avoided calling Derik's name for his sake.

"It is a possibility but this can be considered a very stupid move as well Mortals do not make deals with gods! It never ends well!' Rakuzen said as he watched Lucien absorb what was left of the Raizen god beasts avatar.

With this done, Lucien had regained the power of the Raizen god beast but this time without the link. He felt the urge to lead the people of the Raizen clan into war but for some reason, he didn't want to do it either. Not only will they slow him down but he is yet to understand what he is up against.

Without bothering to say a few words to them, Lucien turned into a beam of silver light and shot towards the capital, meanwhile.

Seated on the golden phoenix throne of the Royal courtroom, Emperor Fei silently listened to sounds of explosions rocking the entire capital. He had expected the coup to happen soon but not so soon, especially when the empire is at the brink of war with the other empires! At a time when they should be gathering their strength and forces for the Libet empire and not for some silly personal reasons.

"Idiots Whether I survive this or not changes almost nothing After today's event, the Fotia empire will be targeted by the Libet and Drakon empire we will be eradicated from the face of this continent just because of the selfish intentions of a few!" Emperor Fri slammed the armrest of his throne while gritting his teeth.

He knew the outcome of this civil war will lead to the weakening of the Fotia empire and only then will the two empires join forces to launch an all out attack on what remains of the Fotia empire!

"It's unlike you to be this worried, old man Fei Let's focus on surviving this coup and worry about the rest later" Instructor Han said in a calm manner.

"The youngling is right we will deal with these problems as they come no need to think too much about the future" The Wuxing clan patriarch said while nodding his head repeatedly.

Only after listening to the two men standing behind his throne did emperor Fri calm down a little and focus his thoughts on more relevant things. Thanks to the teleportation platforms all over the empire, these big clans were able to move their forces quickly, surrounding the capital and then destroying the teleportation platforms to prevent reinforcement from arriving. He finally understood why Lucien refused to use such teleportation systems in his territory! If he had done that same a lot of these things could have been avoided.

"What about the Lucien how do we contact him?" Instructor Han said but Emperor Fei only shot him a sly smile before shaking his head repeatedly.

"That Kid has his hands full right now" Emperor Fei said with a bitter smile on his face.

----------------------------------------------

Lucien sped through the Raizen clan but to his greatest surprise he reached the gates of the Raizen clan, he was greeted by a large army dressed in black and red knight armors with their faces covered with their helmets. With just a glance Lucien could easily count a thousand of them and in front of the army was an old man with the same gentle smile on his face, using his walking cane to support his body.

Seeing Lucien's domineering figure, followed by his past achievements and his insane, murderous aura, even the thousand-man army couldn't help but feel anxious when facing such an enemy.

"Lucardo family head If I may ask, why are you here?" Lucien said with an indifferent look on his face as his body descended from above.

He gently landed on the ground before walking towards the army fearlessly. With his hands placed at his back, countless black tattoos began surging around his body releasing scary wails and cries of pain. His eyes were showing no signs of emotions as they had already turned blood red, surging with strength and power.

"I suggest you pick your next words wisely, they may be your last!" Lucien said coldly the moment he was only a few breaths away from the Lucardo family head.

Hearing his words, the old man wasn't enraged, instead, he revealed a sly smile and let out a light chuckle while beads of cold sweat ran down his face. Even he found it hard to remain calm when faced with the demonic aura of the underworld.

"Why so serious young lad? Why the rush? Don't tell me you don't have some time to spare for this old time" The Lucardo family head said with a light chuckle but Lucien frowned even more.

"Are you not aware that the Royal capital has been attacked It is our duty to go to the emperor's aid Unless you are part of those who want him dead?" Lucien said as his eyes let out a violent light while his killing intentions exploded violently.

"I like you, Lucien That is why I ask you to stay out of this This is not a battle you can win...." The Lucardo family head said with a smile but this time his usually closed eyes were slightly open.

"Wrong answer! Rise!" Lucien stomped his feet on the ground and his shadow spread forth with over a thousand demonic beasts surging out of them.

In just an instant Lucien had over a thousand demonic beasts standing behind him, a strong army that would make anyone shiver in fear! Only now did those watching realize why Lucien didn't bother moving with an army or anything! It was simply because he was carrying an army within him at all times!

The army of the Lucardo family felt extremely nervous and some began taking slight steps back in fear. No matter how trained and equipped they are, they still couldn't stand against beasts that bear the oppressive aura of the underworld! Seeing this the Lucardo family head frowned for the first time in a long time.

He knew how much morale mattered in war and the army with the lesser morale is bound to crumble first. To even stand a chance against Lucien he needed his army to keep Lucien's demonic army at bay!

"Due!" The old man's eyes let out killing lights as his cane exploded, revealing a saber within!

His swinging action was extremely swift even for Lucien and on normal circumstances, Lucien had numerous techniques that can be used to dodge the attack but just like the Lucardo family head, he knew how important morale is in battle! Retreating now will only boost the morale of the enemy forces, making things even harder for him!

This is something even a fool would try to avoid!

"DON'T UNDERESTIMATE ME, OLD MAN!" Lucien growled with reddened eyes as his body turned to steel and he struck forward with his fist.

Peng!

The first attack was soon followed by countless Punches and saber attacks, so fast that their hands couldn't be seen anymore, only the sounds of the clashing attacks could be heard!
