Chapter 92: Big Reward

The Overlord finally visited the Hard Steel Empire's Capital.

For the first time out of all cities he had seen through, Minato's visit wasn't friendly, and the other side was malevolent against him as well from the beginning.

Well, he had announced his goal openly to all of them.

Minato didn't need to move with his army throughout the land, he was obviously standing with a small group around him.

Before him, small Aya smiled with her arms crossed.

On his right side stood the elven queen, Ingrid.

On the left, Minato had the frost dwarf, Eldric.

Behind him, other representatives from all races under him remained in force. They all glared at the empire's troops with unconcealable amusement and thrill to fight them. It seemed like the achievement scoreboard in Minato's world had influenced them all already!

Minato smirked at the emperor, then said directions to his people without turning away from the empire's strongest, "Ingrid will stay away from the battle. She's the strongest due to all the care I've given her. She will monitor the whole battlefield and record all your achievements.

My will is to avoid the death of the innocent. If the empire hadn't evacuated their citizens, avoid killing them, do so only if necessary. My elven queen will record any blatant or unavoidable kill, and that is a big minus to your achievements.

At the end of the battle, the race with the most achievements will get one of the Snake Concubine's armors for their own use," Minato concluded.

The achievement was naturally the most damage done on the battlefield. It was a low world, so they didn't need to attack various spots simultaneously and secure critical information. It was just a pure show of strength.

Therefore, all races knew what their goal was.

Avoid killing innocent people and send the empire's forces straight to hell.

Knowing that the elven queen would supervise the whole battle, no one dared to even think about plotting against other races. They wouldn't purposely make others kill the innocent as the hard-working Ingrid wouldn't miss that.

Elves were also quite perceptive of others' emotions.

The reward for being the best was also splendid.

The Snake Concubine's Armors were present from the existence of unprecedented origin. Those armors were blood and sweat from one of the Overlord's concubines. Had that Overlord different taste, the Snake Concubine surely would've entered his inner harem and become even stronger.

That power had even etched itself in Minato's Overlord Pillar, meaning that it was getting the most mana out of all in Minato's world.

Besides Heaven Sword's tip, the five armors were the strongest treasure in Minato's world. He developed them with his wife, Bei, and other races, making their strength and armor bodies even more challenging.

To say nothing of this, Minato and his beloved had practiced with those armors, increasing their adaptation and strength overall.

Such reward would increase the dungeon race's strength, and they all would be able to become even more important to their master.

"Go and make me proud," Minato uttered, starting the whole show.

All races except a few on the watch appeared behind their representatives. An army of overwhelming numbers emerged out of thin air, sending down the pressure on all humans from The Hard Steel Empire.

That was not enough, however.

They all stomped heavily on the ground, sending shivers down the spine for all enemies! They all lit up in their respective techniques and roared at the empire at the top of their lungs.

The Empire counterattacked with ballista laced in similar material to their armor!

Minato hovered his eyes on those weapons, "Their fear deepened, and I felt another portion of power entering my body... I suppose other empires and kingdoms have also gathered their scouts somewhere around, looking at our family from hidden spots."

"They all share the same fear, Minato," Ingrid smiled sweetly with her eyes closed.

Her beloved nodded.

The more fear he implanted, the stronger he became.

By destroying one empire in a big show with all his races united, Minato would make others tremble at his sight and respect at the same time. They would respect him and offer all he wanted just to keep their lands intact.

Of course, the enemy forces wouldn't just die.

They all fought back, and even their strongest moved.

In his royal golden armor tightly wrapped around his body, the emperor kicked the ground. Flying across the sky with his red cape fluttering wildly, the strongest tore through the clouds and landed before Minato and Ingrid.

"We will fight you," The Emperor uttered calmly. Yet, his voice rippled throughout the whole battlefield, reaching his soldiers and slapping the backs of Minato's forces.

The Overlord glanced at the superhero's helmet and smiled faintly, "You have quite spectacular armor, The Emperor. I happen to have one, though it's more old-fashioned."

One of the Snake Concubines' armors appeared between them.

That armor had one of the oldest and simplest designs, yet its size was bigger than the emperor. However, since Minato often compared it to mecha, it wasn't that old-fashioned, was it?

Minato sneered, "If you overcome my armor, I will face you. Don't think too much of yourself, The Emperor Of The Low World."

He stressed the last words, the low world. Of course, one should never look down on others due to their birth, but Minato did it to increase his impression within the emperor's heart. By feeling a little more power within his Overlord Pillar, Minato knew he made a good choice.

That was arrogance any Overlord should exude.

The Emperor didn't want to go with Minato's flow, however.

How could he as the leader of his nation? He was the one who should make rules, and so he rose once again to the sky, then disappeared within the clouds.

Using those as cover, The Emperor suddenly manifested himself behind Minato. He unleashed the heavy punch with his armor shining gold as bright as the sun!

Alas, he met the transparent wall that shattered his whole sleeve!

"You just lost part of your power... Keep doing that, and you will really die from my armor's hands... Now, that would be lame, wouldn't it?" Minato gave a side-glance, then nonchalantly retracted his eyes to look at the battlefield instead.

That was yet another slap to The Emperor's pride.
