Does 'By Order of the Emperor' target 'Obelisk the Tormentor's effects?

There's a few issues here.
- By Order of the Emperor can only be used against a monster effect that 'activates' when the monster is Normal Summoned. Obelisk has no effects that trigger from his own or any other monster's Normal Summon. His protective effects are all continuous, and BOotE cannot be used against his Ignition Effect.
- Obelisk's summon cannot be responded to. So even if he did have a Trigger that could activate when he is summoned, BOotE could not chain its effect anyway.
- By Order of the Emperor does not target the monster it is used against though. It is being used against the effect (you do not 'target' effects. Divine Wrath could be used against the activated effect of an untargetable monster).
So to sum up,
By Order of the Emperor cannot be used against Obelisk in any way. Cards like Divine Wrath can be used against Obelisk's Ignition Effect though, they do not target Obelisk.
