Chapter 771: Breaking into the Silver City (I)
The new Prime Minister was none other than the Crown Prince of the Godslayer Humankind Empire, Michael Goldsoul.
At the start of The Great Cataclysm, the Imperial Court and Prime Minister Minxet naturally sought the guidance and power of the Golden Emperor. In times of danger and chaos, it was expected that an Emperor's strength and overwhelming power could bring peace and stability to the empire.
Unfortunately, the Golden Emperor seemed to have secluded himself into his cultivation abode, and there was no way to reach him, not even to communicate with him through their Ego Waves or A.I. Chip. This brought chaos and problems to the Imperial Court, led by Prime Minister Minxet.
While Prime Minister Minxet was an extremely competent individual, he needed the direct support of the Golden Emperor to mobilize all Sector Dukes and even make those arrogant and insufferable Noble Families heed his command.
However, that was just the beginning of the plight. Before the day ended, Michael Goldsoul appeared in the Imperial Court Hall with a decree from the Golden Emperor, stating that he was the new Prime Minister and had absolute control of the empire during this time of chaos.
Of course, Michael Goldsoul's sudden appearance with a decree from the Golden Emperor, whom no one could talk to, was suspicious, to say the least. However, he was the Crown Prince, so if the Golden Emperor was going to speak to someone, it made sense for that person to be his favorite son.
Prime Minister Minxet felt something was wrong, but there was not much he could do, as he lacked the brute power and connections to face someone like Michael Goldsoul. He quietly stepped down from his position to avoid more chaos and prevent any bloodshed.
Despite the way he obtained the role of Prime Minister, Michael Goldsoul had always been a competent individual with impressive talent and battle power. The Imperial Court expected to work with the man to bring back peace and stability to the Godslayer Humankind Empire.
However, things did not go that way. During the second day after the start of The Great Cataclysm, Michael Goldsoul changed all the upper echelon of the Imperial Court, replacing those capable people that sought the best for the empire with a bunch of well-connected yet useless and self-serving buffoons that only sought to enrich themselves.
Minxet and the old ministers realized there was something very wrong with Michael Goldsoul. Yet, there was nothing they could do as the man began to mobilize the forces and resources of the Imperial Army in such a way that it practically left the north to fend for themselves against the invading army from the Inferno Daemon Race.
