Is it over?

Shil looked at the scene before him with a somewhat bewildered expression.

Everything around had been reduced to ruins; the commotion was immense.

"Yes, it's over."

Clara nodded, then walked over to the unconscious Seryu.

After thinking for a moment, she took out the Oddities that held the Path of Remembrance and handed it over to Svarog.

"Please, Mr. Svarog."

Since it's your wish, then... I will edit a new Remembrance for her.

After receiving the Oddities, Svarog had no intention of changing Seryu, but since it was Clara's wish, he would help.

This Oddities can be used to recreate a new Remembrance for the target.

However, this Oddities has some drawbacks and cannot be used on people casually.

It not only affects the user, but also the Oddities itself. It was an accidental creation of a Memokeeper, but due to its drawbacks, it is a failure.

"At least she's still alive, can still help us, and won't pose any more danger to the Night Raid raiders."

Clara replied, looking at Seryu on the ground.

Although this Oddities will have a significant impact on Seryu, it's not enough to kill her. She can still be utilized; after all, not just anyone can wield Kobi's Imperial Arm.

This Imperial Arms had always been in the Security Forces, but it wasn't until Seryu appeared that she was able to successfully control it.

Svarog didn't say anything more, but used his Remembrance bank and the Oddities to quickly change Seryu's Remembrance. Then Clara left behind an Automaton Soldier and had it take Seryu to Tatsumi's place first.

Let them get to know some of the new Seryu first, so they can better source goods and materials through her.

"..."

After everything was nearly finished, Clara turned around and left the capital with Shil, heading back to the Night Raid base.

Back at the Night Raid base, they found everyone was there.

That's fine too.

Although it was already stated beforehand that this Imperial Arms belonged to Clara, it still needs to be explained first.

"This is the All-Seeing Eyes [Observer]? The design looks rather ugly!"

In the boss's meeting room, although it was late at night, everyone was still awake and gathered together. After Clara and Shil explained the mission and took out the Teigu they had obtained, Mine couldn't help but complain when she saw the Teigu in front of her.

This Imperial Arm does look a bit... ugly...

"Its ugliness doesn't matter; what matters is its impressive abilities. Farsightedness, future vision, hallucinations, mind reading, even X-ray vision... It's truly a remarkable Imperial Arm!"

"If I didn't already have my own Imperial Arm, I would be interested in it too."

Lubbock looked at the Imperial Arms on the table with great interest, and then, as if struck by a sudden thought, a wicked smile appeared on his face.

These Imperial Arms are absolutely amazing!

Aside from farsightedness, which of the other abilities isn't incredibly useful?

"Ugh... you're disgusting! Lubbock!!"

Upon hearing Lubbock's words, the girls around him immediately gave him disdainful looks.

With so many girls around, to say such disgusting things is truly despicable.

"Hey, I was just talking about its abilities, what's disgusting about it? Besides, I already have my own Imperial Arm, and it's impossible for me to have a second one."

Lubbock immediately retorted.

When it comes to perspective, it's inevitable that some inappropriate things will come to mind, which is quite normal.

It is common knowledge that a user of Imperial Arms cannot possess multiple Imperial Arms at the same time.

On another note, Lubbock suddenly looked at Clara and Shil beside him. This time, it was they who were fighting Zank. Had that Shil seen all of them naked?

I'm suddenly a little envious of him...

"No."

"Clara and her Shil are protected by the power of destiny, so this Imperial Arm's X-ray vision cannot see Clara and her sister Shil."

Noticing Lubbock's gaze, Clara instantly guessed what he was thinking and quickly retorted.

Knowing the abilities of this Imperial Arm, how could she not have made any preparations? Giving Shil the Light Cone beforehand was also for this reason—to avoid being seen naked.

"The power of destiny? What is that?"

Lubbock was taken aback when he heard Clara's words.

Fate's power? I've never heard of that before.

"Wait, Clara, how did you know what I was thinking?"

Once he realized what was going on, Lubbock had no recollection of saying what was on his mind.

"Do you even need to think about it? Your sleazy appearance is obvious at a glance."

Before Clara could answer, Mine spoke up with a look of disdain.

But she was also curious about the destiny power that Clara spoke of.

"But what is the power of destiny? It can actually ignore the abilities of Imperial Arms."

"Destiny is the path followed by the Aeon. Those who walk with it will surely receive its blessings."

"Some people, whether intentionally or unintentionally, step onto a path governed by the 'Aeon,' and from then on become 'Path Walker' who practice its ideals."

Clara thought for a moment and then explained the information about destiny.

But after hearing this, everyone was even more confused, and their doubts only increased.

Aeon? A deity?

Does God really exist in this world? If God does exist, why does He turn a blind eye to this dark and corrupt dynasty, where countless people cannot survive and lives are being lost?

The gods didn't know, but some of the legendary Danger Beast were undoubtedly similar to divine beasts.

"I don't know much about Clara either, so it's complicated to explain."

"Just think of it as an alternative form of Imperial Arms' ability."

Seeing the confusion in their eyes, Clara realized that even if she were to explain these things slowly, she wouldn't be able to do so very clearly.

I could only give them a general idea, telling them to treat the Light Cone as an alternative Imperial Arm.

Let's forget about destiny and such.

Because of the different rules of time, people in this world cannot become Path Walker without the help of a system.

Chapter 44 Esdeath's Return

Although the group was still a little confused, seeing that Clara herself didn't quite understand, they decided not to press her further.

The topic once again shifted to the Imperial Arm "All-Seeing Eyes".

"According to the rules above, the new Imperial Arms that are collected can be used by ourselves first, and those that cannot be used should be handed over to headquarters."

"Now that everyone possesses a Teigu, it should be handed over to headquarters. However, I had already promised Clara, so this Teigu will be given to Clara for research."

Nadjeshda sat in the main seat and explained the matter regarding the Imperial Arms. By handing over the Imperial Arms to Headquarters, she could also receive more rewards from Headquarters.

But she naturally wouldn't go back on her promise to Clara.

"Speaking of which Clara, you don't have a Teigu yet, do you? Why don't you try it out and see if it suits your wavelength?"

At this moment, Leone suddenly spoke up and offered a suggestion.

Aside from the boss Nadjeshda, Clara wasn't the only one present who didn't possess a Teigu. I had previously assumed Mr. Svarog was Clara's Teigu, but it turns out he wasn't.

This means that Clara may obtain her own Teigu.

"Ahem, Clara wants God's Hand, she just wants to study this other Teigu."

Nadjeshda offered a reminder upon hearing this.

While this Imperial Arm is good, given Clara's skill in creating Mechanical Construct, the God's Hand would indeed be a better fit.

"I want to give it a try..."

Clara picked up the Imperial Arm in front of her, still a little curious.

Furthermore, Clara had other ideas regarding the definition of not being able to use two Imperial Arms at the same time.

The reason why the Imperial Arms cannot use two or more Imperial Arms at the same time is that the Imperial Arms cannot be used simultaneously.

The main reason is that using one Imperial Arms already requires a lot of energy, and using multiple Imperial Arms at the same time would further deplete the user's physical and mental strength, thus limiting the use of multiple Imperial Arms.

However, as a traveler with three destinies, she might break through this limitation as her destiny power increases.

Ultimately, it's just an Imperial Arms, not some kind of divine weapon.

However, there is a prerequisite for using Imperial Arms: those who do not conform to the wavelength cannot use Imperial Arms.

"If you want to give it a try, then give it a try. It's nothing."

Seeing that Clara herself had said so, Nadjeshda didn't say anything more. It wouldn't hurt to give it a try and see if it suited her.

Each Imperial Arm is unique and not just anyone can use it.

The key is finding what suits you best. Although I think God's Hand is suitable for Clara, there's nothing that can be done if the two don't match.

Forcibly using Imperial Arms will have dire consequences.

"Um."

Nodding, Clara placed the somewhat ugly "one-eyed" Imperial Arm on her forehead.

As Clara put on her Teigu, everyone around her, including Akame and the others present, looked at her curiously.

It's a bit of a surprise. Although it doesn't look like a perfect match, it doesn't seem as ugly as I imagined.

But overall, the style just doesn't match.

Clara didn't think too much about it; she just felt a slight mental resistance after putting on the garment.

As expected, this Imperial Arms is not suitable for her.

However, when the girl subconsciously used her power of Erudition and destiny to resist that power, the resistance from the Imperial Arms instantly disappeared, and the Imperial Arms began to cooperate.

What seems to be a limitation for others is not a problem for Clara.

Clara then began to receive information about the Imperial Arm, and soon understood how to use it; it was very simple.

Clara tried out her mind-reading ability, and after just one glance at everyone present, she understood what they were thinking.

This Imperial Arm is amazing!

In a good mood, the girl tried out her other abilities and discovered that farsightedness was not as simple as using a telescope, but could greatly increase her field of vision and observation skills.

No wonder Zank noticed her and Shil getting close so quickly.

Future vision is also amazing; you can predict the other party's next move with just a glance.

Vision isn't really suitable to use here, but this vision isn't just a simple illusion; it can also transform you into the person the target cares about most, and combined with mind reading, it's practically a perfect disguise.

Finally, there's perspective.

Ee ee ee...

Clara looked at Akame, amazed, the size seemed perfect. Wait, what was she thinking? The girl blushed and quickly looked away at another person, Mine.

It's a bit small, but bigger than myself.

Wow!! Leone's is just too amazing, no wonder it feels so good...

And... even the boss is still quite charming!

As for the others, well, let's skip the men.

Clara quickly took off the Imperial Arms; it was truly amazing.
