Akame: "So this battle is destined to be lost?"

Ling Yuan: "Not necessarily. But this country truly is rotten. For an empire that has lasted a thousand years, only the capital is prosperous. It is necessary to replace its leader."

First Prince: "An empire that has lasted a thousand years?"

Hongyan was astonished. Even in his world, no empire had ever lasted more than five hundred years. If that was the case...

The founding emperor of Black Pupil's empire truly had some skills.

Akame: "Group Owner, are you planning to let the Revolutionary Army replace the Empire?"

Ling Yuan: "The Revolutionary Army isn't made up of good people either. They claim they want to overthrow it, but quite a few of them are no different from the minister."

Ling Yuan: "In my opinion, that transmigrator probably wants to become emperor himself."

Katarina: "A transmigrator?!"

It was no wonder Monkey King was so shocked, since she herself was a transmigrator.

Ling Yuan: "That's right. Susanoo is actually an ability from another world. It is absolutely impossible for Black Pupil's world to possess it."

Ding! Mission issued Group Mission: A transmigrator seeking to absorb the world origin has appeared in group member 'Akame's world. Eliminate him and save the world of Akame ga Kill. Mission Reward: 10,000 points Participant Limit: Four people Note: The group chat will cover the interworld travel fee

As everyone discussed the matter, a pop-up window appeared in the middle of the group chat.

Defend Sovereignty

Lightning Dragon Slayer: "A group mission? Ten thousand points?"

Sanjat: "Does that mean we can go to other worlds?"

Katarina: "The group chat reimburses us. Doesn't that make it a company-funded vacation?"

While all the members were curious about this group mission...

On Ling Yuan's side...

He looked at the mission in the group chat, then at his own mission page. His expression turned strange, as though something felt off.

Mission: Defend Sovereignty Mission Details: A filthy heart is hidden within the body of the transmigrator in Akame ga Kill. His goal is to collect every beautiful woman into his harem, and Black Pupil, one of the group members, is also his target. Black Pupil is your group member. You absolutely cannot allow anyone else to lay a hand on her! Mission Completion Reward: Ultimate Defense Skill: All-Encompassing!

Ling Yuan: "..."

Actually, I'm just as filthy as he is...

But he was an upright man. At the very least, upright men were not filthy on the surface.

"Cough!"

After a fake cough, Ling Yuan's expression turned solemn.

He reentered the group chat as an upright man.

Ling Yuan: "Everyone understands the group mission, right?"

First Prince: "I understand. We just need to deal with the transmigrator."

Katarina: "@First Prince, Brother Hongyan, don't say something so terrifying! I'm a transmigrator too!"

Ling Yuan: "Katarina can be completely ignored. No one would bully a fool."

Katarina: "??? That was too much!"

Lightning Dragon Slayer: "I'm quite interested in these points. I took a look just now. A thousand points can strengthen my Dragon-Slaying Magic Crystal?"

First Prince: "It's not just skills. Even your own Rukh reserves can be increased."

There was no doubt that points offered many benefits.

Katarina: "Then I won't go. This kind of battle is too bloody for me, and I'm not strong enough either. I won't cause trouble for everyone."

Maple: "I'm still in class."

Eighth Princess: "@First Prince, Brother Hongyan, I'm counting on you."

First Prince: "Mm."

Akame: "I don't need help!"

A certain Akame said tsunderely.

But unfortunately, no one paid her any attention. Whether they helped or not was secondary; the main thing was the points.

Ling Yuan: "Then it'll be me, Laxus, Ren Kouen, and little sister Cecilia."

Sanjat: "Huh? Me?"

Cecilia, who had been chosen, was somewhat dazed.

Cecilia: "Um, I'm fine when fighting Honkai Beasts, but a battle involving an entire country, I..."

Ling Yuan: "Believe in yourself. You are no weaker than us. Although Black Abyss White Flower was once Leanna's weapon, it is even more your symbol."

Ling Yuan: "Face this power head-on, and you will be able to save even more people."

Sanjat: "I-I understand. I'll do my best!"

Seeing Cecilia's reply, Ling Yuan lightly stroked his chin.

This bowl of motivational soup seemed to taste pretty good.

Soon, Hongyan raised a new question.

First Prince: "Group Owner, if I go to another world, I won't be able to replenish my magic power."

Ling Yuan: "Don't worry. I'll supply you with energy."

This time, Hongyan had no more questions.

Compared with the others, his magic power reserves could be considered the weakest.

Although he possessed a Metal Vessel of the Djinn, everyone's Rukh was ultimately limited. He was unlike a monster such as Laxus, whose magic power was terrifyingly vast.

Akame ga Kill world.

The center of the Imperial Capital.

"Is the legendary strongest Supreme Imperial Arm only this powerful?"

Within the brow of the blue Susanoo, a square-faced man with scarlet pupils controlled the massive Susanoo. One hand gripped the Supreme Throne by the neck, pinning it firmly against the palace wall.

The young emperor inside the Supreme Throne roared, "Wretch who defies royal authority, you are absolutely unforgivable!"

"Defying royal authority? Can't we just replace you with someone else?" Ruonan curled his lips into a smile and controlled Susanoo to lean close to the Supreme Throne, whispering softly.

The young emperor's pupils shrank as he stared at Ruonan in disbelief. "Y-you, what are you saying?"

"We've fought enough. Next, submit to me, young emperor of the Empire."

The next moment, Ruonan's eyes snapped open, and a pair of scarlet Mangekyo appeared reflected in the young emperor's pupils.

Tsukuyomi!

Elsewhere.

An unnamed park in the Imperial Capital.

Two sisters, one red-eyed and one black-eyed, continuously slashed at each other.

"Black Pupil, stop. The outcome has already been decided," Akame said earnestly as she blocked Black Pupil's attacks.

"Before Lord Ruonan's power, everything is futile."

She had seen the power of Susanoo. It was simply not something ordinary humans could resist.

Even the legendary Supreme Imperial Arm, the Supreme Throne, could only be beaten down. Remaining with the Empire would lead only to death.

"Heh, Sister, whether in the past or now, I'll prove that you were wrong!"

However, Black Pupil had no intention of listening.

To her, none of this had any meaning!

Besides, it was still uncertain who would win and who would lose...

Clang!

The Imperial Arm Yatsufusa struck Muramasa with all its might.

Sparks flew from the two blades as the sisters refused to yield to one another.

"No matter what, I will take you back," Akame said. Seeing that persuasion was useless, she could only resort to force.

Boom!

Suddenly, a massive tremor rang out, causing the ground to shake three times.

"People of the Empire, stop fighting."

A somewhat childish voice spread throughout the entire Imperial Capital.

"Your Majesty?"

Every imperial guard froze upon hearing the voice.

Countless people turned their gazes over, only to see that the two who had been fighting were now standing together?

That was right. Susanoo and the Supreme Throne were standing together.

"Members of the Revolutionary Army, stop as well," Ruonan's calm voice came from within Susanoo.

After hearing the order, both sides stepped back several paces and watched each other warily.

But in the next moment, the young emperor said something shocking.

"People of the Empire, from today onward, I am no longer your emperor."

"Oh?" Esdeath, who was fending off the Night Raid members, narrowed her eyes.

Before anyone could react, the young emperor continued, "I will submit to Lord Ruonan, and Lord Ruonan will become the emperor of the new Empire! People of the Empire, lay down your weapons and join me in dedicating your strength to Lord Ruonan!"

"An uproar!"

The moment those words were spoken, both the revolutionaries and the imperial army erupted into commotion.

"What is going on? Why would Ruonan become emperor?" Nadjeshda asked uncertainly.

But unfortunately, everyone around her was just as shocked.

"Your Majesty, what are you saying?!" Minister Ogre was dumbfounded.

What the hell was this? I worked so damn hard to get your parents killed and support you to the throne, all so I could stand at the peak of power!

Why did you surrender in the blink of an eye?

"Your Majesty, you must not be deceived by them. They are enemies, enemies who seek to destroy the Empire! Quickly, fight again." Minister Ogre spread his hands and said expectantly.

Lowering his gaze to the minister who resembled a fat pig, Ruonan frowned and snorted coldly. "Noisy!"

He raised the Susanoo katana in his hand.

Slash!

Blood sprayed everywhere as the evil of the Empire, Minister Ogre, was cut in half with a single strike.

The young emperor inside the Supreme Throne showed no change in expression, as if it had nothing to do with him.

Yet this scene deeply provoked everyone else.

Especially the members of Night Raid, who all looked utterly incredulous.

Black Pupil looked at Akame, who was equally shocked, and mocked, "Sister, it seems the person you chose is also someone driven by desire."

"That's impossible. Lord Ruonan clearly told us he wanted to build a country where the people themselves would be in charge!"
