For a long period of time, Xiao Ran had no choice but to develop slowly in the most restrained way because he did not have a suitable Mech in his hands. He basically did not take the initiative to get involved in too many things. All the choices he made were basically carried out in the safest way, taking advantage of the situation to develop and draw in the forces that could be used. Overall, he was mainly stalling until the Special Task Force finally created the Mech he needed.
Now, Pendragon had proven the strength of the Mech on the battlefield. Under Xiao Ran's operation, coupled with the GN Particles and the GN Dragoon Knights' absolute crushing effect on the participants, Xiao Ran finally had the strength to fight and defeat the participants head-on. And this participant did not refer to the individual participants, but to the entire group of participants, all the legions.
Before Pendragon appeared, Xiao Ran did not have this ability. Even if he was an S-rank pilot, it was impossible for him to fight with his physical body under the deliberate encirclement of the participant legions. If he used his physical body to fight against Mechs like the Demon God Caesar and the Soul Slayer, he would only be able to escape. A wave of continuous bombardment might not be able to kill Xiao Ran, and conversely, Xiao Ran would not be able to kill the enemy.
If the fact that Xiao Ran was a participant and a pilot with Mythical-level strength without a Mech was leaked out, it would definitely attract the attention of all the participant legions. Those participants from the opposing camp would definitely put in all their efforts to suppress Xiao Ran at all costs, taking away all possible development opportunities. They would directly kill Xiao Ran no matter how many sacrifices they had to make because once Xiao Ran obtained the corresponding Mech, they would have no chance of winning at all in this battle between the legions.
Deliberately misleading, guiding, and using the special feature of the cross-district mission card to disguise his identity, this was not just for the sake of the mission. It was more or less a bad idea, but it was more for the sake of safety. Later on, he joined the battle in the 19th District according to the situation, borrowed the mecha of the Scarlet Knights, and took the Roaring Lion Legion into his pocket. It could only be said that he was taking advantage of the situation.
The risk was actually not small, and the process was not that interesting and easy. There was also no way to use and integrate more of Butaria's resources. To use Butaria's resources to do something, first of all, they had to plan and arrange for a long time. For example, it was Xiao Ran and Loide who planned for a long time to secretly create the Pendragon.
In the 19th District, although they had the Mech provided by the Scarlet Knights, they used Quantum Assimilation when dealing with the Roaring Lion Legion, and they could not perform well when dealing with the EU participants. Because of the limited restraints on both sides, they could only stay in the command center to arrange and command behind-the-scenes. Every day, there were countless chores. Although it was not tiring, with Xiao Ran's S-rank physique, it was still a little tiring. After being in that kind of environment for a long time, it was indeed a little depressing. In addition, this world was really not a place for Xiao Ran to conquer, and the entertainment value was not as good as when he entered the all-metal frenzy. He was not really involved in the mission of this world, and there was no cooperation or development with Butaria. In fact, Xiao Ran wanted to end these boring days as soon as possible.
Then, the opportunity finally came. The production of the Pendragon was completed. Xiao Ran piloted the Pendragon into the battlefield and vented his satisfaction on the battlefield. With one person and one Mech, he directly suppressed most of the combat power of the EU and Butaria on the African continent. Most of the participants on both sides kneeled under his gunfire. The joy of chopping melons and vegetables could not be described with just the word 'satisfying', and this kind of venting also achieved his predetermined goal.
It was not until this time that Xiao Ran finally had the power to confront all the participant legions head-on. He finally did not have to hide and suppress himself. He could finally take the initiative to cause trouble, to intervene in the other participant legions, to take the initiative to understand them, to take the initiative to start a war, to let Butaria, the Black Knights, and the whole world start operating under his will.
The little ball Charles had stopped fighting on the largest battlefield in Butaria. Now that the whole world had quieted down because of the appearance of the Pendragon, Xiao Ran did not want to continue wasting time. There was no need to continue pretending in front of this self-righteous guy. He could finally kick the ball away, and the boring game of Monarch and Vassal could come to an end.
Xiao Ran controlled Charles, Bismarck, and Luciano. Everyone in the entire council hall except for Schonazel had fallen under Xiao Ran's control. When the powerful psychokinesis was used on these people whose physical attributes were only at the level of ordinary people, it was like a huge rock pressing down on them, making it difficult for them to move. Even if Charles and Bismarck had the ability to GEASS, they could not resist at all.
The Emperor was controlled, but the situation in the council hall was not known to those outside the council hall. Because of the cooperation between the Roaring Lion Legion and the Scarlet Knights under the direct command and arrangement of Luluxiu, the entire capital was completely thrown into chaos. They suppressed one important facility after another and controlled many people under the rain of bullets like ghosts.
The main garrison of the capital was also completely suppressed by the Scarlet Knights with a small amount of combat power. The entire capital had fallen into Luluxiu's hands, but this did not mean that the resistance in the capital had ended. After the initial chaos, more forces belonging to the Empire slowly began to gather under the command of some people.
Of course, someone would report to Charles and ask for instructions after such a big thing had happened. However, before the person could see clearly what had happened in the council hall, he was directly grabbed by Xiao Ran's psychokinesis and pinned to the ground. What happened next was much simpler. Schonazel took the initiative to leave the council hall and returned not long after. The whole palace was strangely quiet. Schonazel used his own power to easily take over the palace after Charles was controlled. It was not until Luluxiu entered the council hall under the protection of several participants that the noise in the council hall reappeared.
Under the gaze of countless eyes in the council hall, Xiao Ran did not care about giving Luluxiu more respect on the surface. He placed his hand on his chest and greeted Luluxiu, completely placing Luluxiu in the main position. He then stood behind Luluxiu and used his actions to express his position, although these actions were nothing more than pretense in the eyes of others.
Luluxiu strode towards the completely immobile Charles. He did not wear the mask that belonged to ZERO, but instead wore a luxurious robe. The robe was white and golden with many gems embedded in it. This was the robe that the king was about to wear when he boarded the plane. It was even more noble than Charles' current attire.
When he arrived in front of Charles, Luluxiu glanced at the calm Schnazaire. He then stopped and looked at Charles with a complicated gaze. His chest rose and fell slightly, and he said in a cold voice, "Father … Your Majesty, we haven't seen each other for many years. I didn't think that we would meet in such a way. I don't know if you ever thought that this day would come."
Charles wanted to say something, but because of Xiao Ran, he could not say a single word. He could only let out a cold snort from his nose, and his eyes did not waver in the slightest.
Luluxiu looked at Charles with a gaze that was filled with hatred, coldness, and a hint of sorrow. However, there was none of the feelings that a child should have for their father. He did not mind Charles' cold snort at all, and he said in a cold voice, "I will make you tell me what happened to my mother in person. I will also let you experience the pain that Li Lina has suffered over the years. But the most important thing right now is … I want you to see me sit on the seat that originally belonged to you. I want this country to run according to my wishes from today onwards."
Luluxiu turned around and looked at Schnazaire with an emotionless smile. "Isn't this my respected big brother Schnazaire? The prime minister of the empire and the best candidate to become the next emperor. But it looks like you've made the right choice."
Schnazaire did not mind the mockery in Luluxiu's words. He saluted Luluxiu in a courtier's manner, and said respectfully without much emotion, "Schnazaire LI Britalia pays his respects to Your Majesty. The palace is now under control, and it is suitable for Your Majesty to begin the coronation ceremony immediately. I have already arranged for people to make preparations for Your Majesty's coronation."
"Heh." Luluxiu laughed, and who knew how many complex emotions were contained in his laughter. He took a deep look at Schnazaire before turning his head to look at Xiao Ran. After seeing Xiao Ran nod, he put aside his other thoughts and waved his right hand. He said in a deep voice, "Inform all of the nobles in the capital, the heads of all departments, and all members of the royal family to come and see me immediately. Inform all media organizations to enter the palace. I will be taking the throne here."
Among the people present, there was no one more suitable than Schnazaire to do this. However, many of the important organizations and personnel in the capital were now under the control of the Roaring Lion Legion and the Blood Knights. As such, the guards who came with Luluxiu had to inform the people of the two legions and have them bring all of the people under control here.
Schnazaire accepted the order and turned to leave. A guard also used a communicator to inform the other members of the two legions. Only then did Luluxiu walk up to Xiao Ran. He nodded slightly at Xiao Ran, and the corners of his lips curled up. "Thank you for your hard work. We've finally reached this step. However, I don't know how you're going to explain to Euphemia. The person she personally invited and trusted completely ended up being the person who destroyed the empire's current rule, carried out a coup, and put her father under house arrest. Surely Euphemia will be very sad."
Xiao Ran glanced at Luluxiu. "Since when have you become concerned about such boring matters?"
Luluxiu raised his head slightly, completely ignoring everyone around him as if they didn't exist. "I'm just looking forward to seeing how flustered you look. Ever since I've known you, you've always looked like you had everything under control. I've never seen you panic before. In comparison, I, the soon-to-be emperor, have shown quite a bit of panic in front of you."
After saying this, Luluxiu lowered his voice to a level where only Xiao Ran and himself could hear. "Moreover, I'm more curious about Euphemia. When she finds out that her most beloved big sister has taken the first step, do you think she'll be even sadder?"
Xiao Ran no longer wanted to answer Luluxiu's question. He glanced at Charles and the others and said, "What do you plan to do with these people?"
"Close what needs to be closed, and use what needs to be used." Luluxiu didn't turn around. He said in a deep voice, "With the power we have, these people will be the best servants."
A red light shone from Luluxiu's eyes. Xiao Ran smiled faintly and used Psychokinesis to lift everyone up and gather them together. He forced their eyes open. When Luluxiu slowly turned around, the red light flashed from his eyes and poured into everyone's minds. He gave them the power of Geass, brainwashing them and making them his most loyal servants. Even Bismarck couldn't escape.
The current Luluxiu was no longer the Luluxiu in the original storyline. He couldn't control his power and could even go berserk. Until now, Luluxiu had complete control over his power. Even after the one-eyed Geass had developed into a two-eyed Geass, there was no problem. Generally speaking, the reason his power went berserk was because he lacked control. However, Luluxiu was no longer an ordinary human. He had been strengthened. His physical fitness, mental power, and control were stronger.
Seeing that Luluxiu had taken control of all Charles's guards, including Bismarck and Luciano, Xiao Ran naturally let go of the restraints on these people, allowing them to regain their mobility. The moment they regained their mobility, they immediately knelt on the ground to show their loyalty to Luluxiu. Luluxiu might not be able to sense if there was someone among them who was pretending to be controlled, but Xiao Ran could clearly feel the enthusiasm in their hearts.
As for Charles, under the effect of Luluxiu's GEASS ability, he also knelt on one knee with a numb expression and glazed eyes, becoming one of them. However, as time passed, these people's eyes gradually began to regain their vitality.
Xiao Ran didn't continue to look at these people. Instead, he said to Luluxiu, "Get ready to control him with Geass. What are you going to do next?"
"Find out about my mother from him." Luluxiu sighed softly when he saw Charles's reaction. "We'll talk about the rest when the time comes."
