I strode into the city. I had trained and prepared. A new warlord had arisen, greater than the rest. He called himself the Son of Heaven and claid its Mandate. I would correct him of his foolishness. For I was Hei Long.
“Halt!” One of the soldiers said to at the foot of his palace. “No one is allowed entrance.”
“I am Hei Long. I will have words with your master. Step aside or die,” I said calmly. The eight guards drew their swords or prepared to make hand signs.
“You aren’t getting-“ I stepped forward and plucked his eye from his skull for his insolence. A casual backhand shattered his jaw and broke his neck. I flicked the eye to the ground and moved. My Dragon’s Talon style cleaved through them, truly unstoppable. Their skills, weapons, and other gear was useless in the face of my might.
People were already fleeing and shouting, but that did not matter. Soon all would bow and serve . I pushed open the doors. They were locked. I slamd my palms on them shattering the doors and knocking them off their hinges.
I entered the palace and followed my senses towards this so called Son of Heaven. There was only one person who possessed the Mandate of Heaven, and that was . For others to lay claim was to invite their death.
Twenty guards raced out towards from the surrounding halls, unleashing skills, summoning monsters, and attempting to stop . They stood no chance. My hands had already reached inside of my clothing and I threw needles.
I had learned during my training I needed a ranged attack for troubleso opponents and large groups. My speed and precision were unmatched by these useless people. I easily dodged their attacks and killed the soldiers one after another. So fled and I let them go to spread word of my greatness and mastery of Kung-fu.
The last man died. A needle lodged into the center of his forehead. I left my weapons behind. For once they were sullied, they were of no more use. Peasants pick up weapons, not Hei Long. I broke open the next set of doors and entered the throne room. It was more of a bedroom than a throne room.
I did not think my disgust could increase anymore. This man was not even prepared for combat, but was having sex with four won. “A bit old, but I can give granny so love, just wait your turn,” the young man said.
My rage grew so large it exploded into a supernova, but then imdiately collapsed into the coldness of a black hole. I smiled gently. “Oh, but it is my turn,” I flung out my needles. The naked man was fast and rolled out of the woman and off the bed.
The four won were killed. “Annihilation Beam!” My danger sense and energy sense went haywire as motes of pure white light gathered. In front of his hands. I had seen beam attacks before. I moved at the last mont, up and at an angle.
The beam tracked , cleaving through the building like it was nothing. I hit the ceiling with one hand digging in my fingers to the stone slightly to quickly change directions. The beam ca to a stop, and I dropped to the ground unhard.
“Oh, nice moves. You should-“ I rushed forward and the man brought up an arm to block . I felt his bone bend, but it didn’t break. I unleashed a kick, and he brought up a leg to block . He clearly had no experience in true Kung-fu. I slamd my foot down I had kicked with and kicked upwards with my other foot.
His groin was completely unguarded, and he was not ready for such an attack. Weakness! “Ahhh!” He scread as his soft bits were tenderized. His hands dropping and he bent over. My right hand ford into a talon and struck forward into his chest. I unleashed everything I could into this single strike.
“Ahhhh!” he let out a choked scream and was sent flying backwards into a wall. He puked out blood. I had felt his ribs break. He had a lot of stats but not enough. An unupgraded person would have their chest and back blown open.
I did not hesitate and rushed forward. I ford blades with both my hands and drove them into his shoulder’s breaking the bones. No skills for you. Strike after strike, this Son of Heaven turned into a pile of useless at.
He finally dropped to the floor. I brought up a foot and slamd it down on the back of his neck. His head separated from his body. I was breathing heavily, but it was done. I turned to see several soldiers at the entrance to the throne room looking at .
“Kow-tow to your Divine Empress!” They quickly pressed their heads to the floor.
“We serve the Divine Empress,” several of them said and I nodded.
“Summon all soldiers to attend outside this palace. Kill anyone who refuses. Return in an hour, go!” I said and waved my arm. They quickly scurried away. I made my way through the palace killing every servant I found.
I would hire and find new people. I would not risk traitors. This city and then the world would be mine. There would be no rcy or forgiveness to those who bowed their head to others. My suspicions were only confird as I found several servants trying to steal various items.
They were killed off without a mont of hesitation. I soon returned to outside the palace. Several guards were there. So bowed, other kow-towed, while others just looked at .
“The ones who kow-towed, clearly know their place in relation to . Clean the ss inside the palace. The ones who bowed, kill the rest or I will kill you,” I said. There was shouting and so useless attacks against , but people obeyed, and people died.
Once that was done, I looked at the fearful populace who were quickly kow-towing or running away. “I am the Divine Empress. Serve without question and complaint and you shall live. Think no thoughts of your own. Have no desires but mine.”
“Those who wish to improve their station, may rise and step forward. For I need capable and trustworthy servants. But know this. I shall repay kindness tenfold and revenge a thousand-fold. My might and Kung-fu stand unmatched.”
I smiled slightly as people organized themselves. This was just the start of my Empire. Soon it would spread everywhere, and I would rise up to the Heavens themselves. For I had its Mandate, that piece of divinity, empowering .
