Chapter 230

"Yes, compared to Tendo's assistant, I am indeed very incompetent."

The Holy Emperor readily accepted the title of incompetent.

"Your incompetence is not what I said, but what that mortal who spoke rudely to me said."

Following Li Yue's instructions, Raiden Ei began to release information.

"But now it seems that you are indeed very incompetent."

The other guards didn't dare to speak, they just stared wide-eyed at Raiden Ei.

"You're right."

"Since you know your own incompetence, then you should no longer sit in the position of the city's leader."

Raiden Ei directly begins to strip the Holy Emperor of his identity.

"What!?"

The Holy Emperor's eyes widened; she hadn't expected that Raiden Ei was actually after her position.

"You don't need to have any questions. You just need to know that this is my order. From now on, I will rule this country!"

Raiden Ei has forcefully announced its new identity in this world.

"This body is the Makoto, the most noble body in the world! This body will use the great power of thunder to protect all the subjects of this country!"

415. A New Situation in Tokyo

The leader of the Tokyo district has changed.

The news reached Tokyo residents after a night of disaster.

The enormous carcass of Scorpius lay in the heart of Tokyo, along with a large number of Gastrea scattered across much of the northeastern part of the Tokyo.

Before the colossal corpse of Scorpius, the former head of Tokyo, the Holy Emperor, told the surviving citizens of Tokyo that she was stepping down from her position as head of Tokyo, and that the new ruler of Tokyo would be Raiden Shogun, who had killed Scorpius and all the Gastrea that had invaded Tokyo!

Few people in Tokyo questioned this change, because the Holy Emperor didn't have many loyal fans to begin with. Only her guards were relatively loyal to her, and the guards' loyalty was based on their admiration for the Holy Emperor, not on her personal abilities.

Therefore, Tokyo had no objection to the change of leadership in Tokyo; in fact, they were extremely happy about it.

Because the new leader, Raiden Shogun, is a god, and a god who easily slayed Scorpius and wiped out a large number of Gastrea with a wave of his hand! This is more important than anything else to the people of Tokyo right now!

Last night, they vividly recalled the horrors of the Gastrea War ten years ago. The survivors never want to experience such horrors again, so anyone who can protect them would likely have supporters if they stepped forward and said they wanted to be the head of Tokyo.

For the original powerful families in Tokyo, especially the Tendo family, this was unacceptable. Not only was the head of the family Kikunojyo Tendo, killed by this woman called Raiden Shogun, but she also wanted to seize the power of the Tendo family. This was impossible!

However, the Tendo family's resistance failed before it could even begin, because after the Holy Emperor announced his resignation as head of state and requested that Raiden Shogun rule Tokyo —yes, he requested that Raiden Shogun rule Tokyo, not that he abdicated in favor of Raiden Shogun, because in Raiden Ei's eyes, she was not qualified.

After the Holy Emperor publicly requested that the Raiden Shogun rule Tokyo, he further revealed the crimes of the Tendo family.

Kikunojyo Tendo secretly hired assassins to seize the Qixing Legacy. He even went so far as to travel from Tokyo to find assassins and have them open the Qixing Legacy to summon Scorpius. His reason for summoning Scorpius was that he felt there were too many lower-class people in Tokyo wasting food, which was a complete shock to the ordinary people of Tokyo.

In addition, the Tendo family secretly tampered with the stone tablets. The stone tablets that the Tendo family was responsible for had quality problems, which would cause Gastrea to break into Tokyo and thus consume the Cursed Children and the police. All of this was done to consolidate the Tendo family's rule.

The other party went even further, stating bluntly that the Holy Emperor was a puppet, merely a tool he used to rule Tokyo, and personally affirmed the Holy Emperor's incompetence.

This was a complete shock to the Tendo family.

No, we didn't know you'd always thought this way. We never realized you were so radical, boss. So, the things our Tian Tong family descendants do are all too conservative, right?

Unfortunately, they no longer had a chance to change things. Because of Kikunojyo Tendo's voluntary exposure, the entire Tendo family was arrested. All their power was meaningless. In the rage of the people of Tokyo, the entire Tendo family was arrested, and a large number of them even died during the arrest.

While the Holy Emperor was also affected to some extent, because she voluntarily relinquished her position as head of state, the assessment of her incompetence by Kikunojyo Tendo was not greatly affected. After all, she had already stepped down, so incompetence was no big deal.

With the abdication of the Holy Emperor and the downfall of the entire Tendo family, a large portion of Tokyo's high-ranking officials were replaced.

Traditionally, governing a city is not something anyone can do, but Li Yue doesn't care who takes the top position, because all he needs now are obedient subordinates.

Thus, Mishima was honored to become the new aide.

After all, it's better to choose someone you know than someone you don't know, and someone who will actively seek your help.

For Li Yue and his group, Mishima was one of the first to join them. After all, Li Yue had been living and resting at Mishima's company since arriving in Tokyo. Although Li Yue wasn't there most of the time, the rest of the guys were. Mishima's company had become their restaurant and hotel; they ate, drank, and slept there. And Mishima was very accommodating, never accepting a single penny.

Since Mishima was so cooperative, Li Yue naturally had to reward him, so the position of assistant officer fell to him.

Standing where Kikunojyo Tendo had stood, Mishima was incredibly excited.

As a Japanese, he was very aware of the concept of subordinates overthrowing superiors, but he never imagined that he would one day reach this position.

With the Gastrea Wars, he went from an ordinary businessman to the owner of a police company, seizing the opportunity. And now, with the arrival of the gods, he has taken off in one fell swoop!

After all, no matter how rich a businessman is, nothing is more tempting than a position of real power. You have to understand, this is a position of real power, not a president who is just a mouthpiece for conglomerates like in the United States. Because behind him stands the new ruler of Tokyo, the Raiden Shogun!

Anyone who disobeys Raiden Shogun will be instantly reduced to ashes by the Raiden Shogun unleashes.

Therefore, after learning about the true power of Li Yue and his group, Mishima has now become their fanatical follower.

What kind of bullshit businessman is he? Who would be a god's subordinate? This is truly second only to the god and above all others!

With Mishima becoming the new aide, the Mishima Royal Security Company naturally had to be reorganized, and dealing with Gastrea was no longer his responsibility.

Isuke Kagetane and Chizuru Kayo were even separated from their original police team and became Mishima's personal bodyguards, receiving extremely high treatment.

Chizuru Kayo had no objection to this; it would be best for her to avoid going out to fight Gastrea, but this also created new problems.

Because he was Mishima's personal bodyguard, Isuke Kagetane had to follow Mishima around all the time. This caused Chizuru Kayo to be dragged around everywhere as well. As a result, Chizuru Kayo was more likely to miss out on food because Isuke Kagetane always rushing around with Mishima.

This child has gone even further down the road of not being able to get enough to eat.

However, she only complained about Isuke Kagetane Shoto at most, without any other dislike for him.

And so Tokyo successfully fell into Li Yue's hands.

416. Ke Xue's Time

[So Arrogant! Tokyo is theirs in just one day? That's too easy.]

[Perverted Scum Man: If you possessed god-level power, and had several gods standing by your side, coupled with a post-apocalyptic world setting, I think you could do it just as easily.]

[I am hungry: Indeed, it only took the Group Leader one day to rule Tokyo. From the time he came to my world yesterday morning to the time I heard the news this morning that the Holy Emperor Group Leader stepped down Raiden Shogun and taken over, it was less than 24 hours. Sometimes I feel like I haven't woken up yet, so I'm still dreaming.]

[Meme Lord: You don't dream when you're dreaming, and if you really are dreaming, then your dream must be a beautiful one.]

[So Arrogant! Damn it, why can't my cheat system be stronger? Even though Death Re-load is powerful, it should at least make me stronger too! I'm struggling to even defeat a regular soldier, while Reinhard is like a monster! He can kill anyone with a single strike, it's outrageous!]

[Meme Lord: Is it possible that Reinhard is your cheat code?]

[So Arrogant! Impossible! Absolutely impossible! If I had to choose, I would definitely choose the lovely and beautiful Emilia!]

[This Perverted Scum Man: Accept reality, Emilia isn't by your side, only Reinhard.]

So Arrogant! How despicable! But to fulfill Emilia's dream, I must persevere!

[Little Clumsy: So, can someone tell me who Emilia is? And what is her dream?]

[The Fat Woman in Black Stockings: His world is somewhat special. His physical body transmigrated to Otherworld and gained the ability to Death Re-load. Each time he dies, he rewinds a certain amount of time. In that world, he met a half-elf girl who wanted to become queen and establish a harmonious and loving country. So, he is currently working hard to help that half-elf girl become queen.]

[Big Clumsy: Is the Elf the Elf I Imagined?]

[The Perverted Scum Man: This refers to the stereotypical image of an elf, like those in Dragon Quest games, who are close to nature, have ears, and are skilled in magic.]

[ From Little Clumsy: Do you guys really know this much about elves? There should be elves in Minecraft too, but those are from the time of the gods. If elves existed in modern times, the magicians of the Mage's Association would probably be scrambling to come and study them.]

[Meme Lord: Your magicians are like this, they're downright inhuman.]

If the Magicians' Association of the Type-Moon world were to discover a humanoid spirit in modern times, it would be a disaster. They would probably go crazy trying to capture it, dissect it, and study it to see if they could connect to the Great Source and become Age of Gods Magician.

[Perverted Scum Man: By the way, 486, what's the progress on your end?]

[So Arrogant! The situation is now in the preparatory stage before the Royal Capital election. My intelligence is that Emilia is preparing to go to the Royal Capital, where she will receive official status Royal Candidate Royal Capital.]

[Meme Lord: It's been several months, and the Royal Selection hasn't even started yet?]

[So Arrogant! Brother, my situation is different from yours. You have indeed experienced several months, but not me. I've died several times in between, so in terms of time, less than a month has passed for me. Each time I die, my time resets, but yours doesn't. Therefore, my time is far behind yours.]

[Meme Lord: Okay, then you'd better speed things up. You've died so many times, you should know how to pass the level more easily by now.]

[So Arrogant! Stop cursing, stop cursing, we're rushing, we're rushing!]

[I am the real alcohol: Death Re-load? What's that?]

Gin seemed interested in what 486 said and couldn't help but speak up. For modern people, the Death Re-load is a perfectly normal ability in games. After all, anyone who dares to make a game where you can only complete a level with one life would definitely curse the heavens. Whether it's for the sake of difficulty or for a better story experience, players are given countless chances to try. But for Gin, he really didn't know, since he wasn't someone who knew how to play games.

[So Arrogant! It's that after I die, I will be resurrected, and I will be resurrected to a previous point in time, starting anew from that point. Everything I experienced before will disappear, and I will have to experience it all over again. This is a very powerful ability because it gives me countless opportunities to choose and create countless futures.]

[The Perverted Scum Man: But it's also a very troublesome ability, because reloading a save means you have to start all over again from the previous scene. If the scene is relatively short, it's okay, but if it's long, once or twice is fine, but if it's three, four, or even ten or more times, it becomes extremely torturous. After all, experiencing the same scene ten or even countless times on the same day is enough to drive anyone crazy.]

[So Arrogant! A friendly greeting from a player stuck on a level. jpg]

[So Arrogant! Luckily, I listened to the Senior Group Leader's advice and tricked Reinhard. Although there are still some troubles, with Reinhard, at least combat power is no longer an issue. Now, my main concern is making choices. Different choices will lead to different outcomes, and I must pay attention to this. If things go wrong, I will immediately commit suicide to go back and choose again.]

Dan [I am the real alcohol: Suicide and reloading... This is just playing with time.]

Although Gin is an assassin, he was still shocked by this suicide save-and-load operation. If something goes wrong, shouldn't he be thinking about how to fix it? This guy in the group, who was called 486 by others, actually chose to commit suicide without hesitation and start over. Is this laziness or seriousness?

If you say he's serious, he never even considered trying to solve the problem; instead, he just committed suicide and reloaded the save file. If you say he's lazy, he'd rather run around a few more times to create a future that's more favorable to him. This guy is really a bit contradictory.

[Meme Lord: Actually, in your world, there are also people who play with time, and it's even more terrifying than Subaru's Death Re-load.]

[I am the real alcohol: Are you talking about me? My world?]

Inside the Porsche, Gin, sitting in the passenger seat, was stunned. "Are you kidding me? Someone like this exists in my world?"

[Meme Lord: That's right, your world is the Jail of time!]

417. Gin: Today is Wednesday, tomorrow is Sunday?

[Meme Lord: In your world, everyone is trapped in time, completely unaware of what's happening. They believe they're living normal lives, that this is how they're supposed to be, but in reality, their time is being manipulated, and in this manipulated life, they will face death.]

[The Hair Gel Man in the Sky: And is it Mr. Bleach who controls everything?]

[Meme Lord: That's right, he controls time in that world, and he also holds the power of life and death over the people there.]

[I am the real alcohol: Wait, are you guys really talking about Minecraft? Minecraft has... Bleach?]

[Meme Lord: Bleach aren't anything special; Captain Aizen is Bleach.]

[The Hair Gel Man in the Sky: Thank you so much, Li Yue-kun, for the introduction, but next time please allow me to introduce myself.]

What do you mean by saying that Bleach are nothing special? That makes Aizen seem like a nobody.

[Meme Lord: The Bleach in your world is quite interesting. He disguises himself as an ordinary human. Wherever he goes, death follows his arrival, while those he chooses live forever because of his existence.]

[I am the real alcohol: Immortality!?]

[The Hair Gel Man in the Sky: Wasn't time supposed to be chaotic? How can you achieve immortality?]

[Meme Lord: It's precisely because time is chaotic that immortality is possible.]

[Meme Lord: Imagine he controls all of time within a certain range, and within that range, time continuously cycles in a chaotic manner. But apart from time, everything else continues to develop normally—technology, economy, history—all progress as usual. Only time is stopped, and the people affected are completely unaware of it. For them, isn't that immortality?]

[The Hair Gel Man in the Sky: Can you even interpret it like that?]

Isn't that how it is in Conan's world? Ever since Kudo Shinichi became Conan, time in that world has become chaotic. But even though time is chaotic, it doesn't prevent the people in that world from becoming immortal, especially the people around Conan.

In their world, technology evolved from flip phones to full-screen smartphones in just twenty years. From needing base stations to make a call, to using footballs to kick satellites, technology changed, things changed, and buildings increased, but people's time remained unchanged, and their appearance remained the same.

Aside from those who died suddenly due to Conan's Bleach aura, the rest of the people have remained unchanged for twenty years. They may have experienced dozens of Christmases and dozens of springs, summers, autumns, and winters, but in their eyes, a year has not passed. As long as Conan does not restore the normal timeline, the people of this world will continue to live in this state. As long as the Black Organization never falls, they can live forever. This is the immortality of Conan's science!

[The Hair Gel Man in the Sky: I'm really curious about Mr. Real Wine's world.]

[I am the real alcohol: I'm also curious about what terrifying truths are hidden in my world, but I feel more horrified than happy.]

Gin said he was shocked; he never imagined he would encounter such a situation.

[I am the real alcohol: So, Senior Group Leader, do you know who that Bleach is?]

[Meme Lord: What? You want to see Bleach for yourself? Those who aren't chosen by him will die if they get close to him.]

[I am the real alcohol:...]

Gin, who originally wanted to see who this Grim Bleach was, backed down. After all, he didn't want to die for no reason. He did want to see this Grim Bleach, but he wasn't confident that he would be chosen by the Bleach at a glance. If he would die if he wasn't chosen, wouldn't it be suicide for him to rush over?

Tsk—

Gin clicked his tongue in displeasure.

"Big brother, what's wrong?"
