Chelsea revealed herself after the Jaegers Unit completed its mission to kill General Budo, while Najenda despaired over Night Raid’s losses. Lin Feng’s shadows stopped the machine god from crushing Akame and Tatsumi, leaving Honest and the young emperor baffled.

• Honest asked the young emperor why the machine god had stopped, but neither of them knew.

Lin Feng confronted Minister Honest’s machine god after Night Raid and the Jaegers forced Honest to reveal his trump card. Lin Feng endured the machine’s blows, then summoned the spirits gathered through his Alucard power as he prepared to counterattack.

• The machine god crushed Lin Feng’s shadow bindings by stamping its foot into the ground.
• Lin Feng thanked the injured members of Night Raid and the Jaegers, including Chelsea and Kurome, for forcing Honest to reveal the machine god.
• Honest took control of the machine god from the young emperor and attacked Lin Feng with its fists.
• Lin Feng remained standing as the machine god’s fists dented and damaged themselves against his maxed-out physical toughness.
• Lin Feng gathered the spirits of the creatures he had killed, and his River of Death reached level three, removing its spirit limit.

Lin Feng used Level Zero: River of Death to summon an immense force of undead across the Imperial Capital, while Honest tried to press his attack with Shikoutazer. The undead revived after the Imperial Guard shot them, protecting Wave and Seryu as the battle continued.

• Lin Feng activated Level Zero: River of Death, causing cracks to spread across the Imperial Capital and corpses to rise from the ground.
• Honest dismissed Lin Feng's summoned dead as small fry and ordered Shikoutazer to sweep the area clean.
• Wave and Seryu faced an Imperial Guard assault as soldiers began demolishing the palace's outer walls.
• Lin Feng's undead Danger Beasts emerged around the palace and attacked the Imperial Guard, then regenerated after being riddled with bullets.
• Koro shielded Wave and Seryu from the gunfire, and Wave recognized that Lin Feng had sent the Danger Beasts to help them.

Lin Feng’s Danger Beasts and Seryu’s Koro overwhelmed the Imperial Guard attacking the palace, while Wave joined the fight. The emperor and Honest then saw the supposedly dead Three Beasts and Wild Hunt appear, as Chelsea revealed she had disguised herself as Daidara and confirmed Lin Feng could summon the dead.

• Lin Feng’s regenerated Danger Beasts slaughtered the Imperial Guard soldiers who fought them around the palace.
• Seryu judged Koro recovered and ordered it to enlarge its legs, crushing the Imperial Guard surrounding it.
• The surviving guards fled, and Wave charged after them to stop them from regrouping and taking revenge.
• The emperor pointed out the supposedly dead Three Beasts on the display, and Honest saw that Wild Hunt had appeared with them as well.
• Daidara used Nyau’s appearance to conceal himself and transform back into Chelsea, who concluded that Lin Feng could summon those he had killed.

Night Raid saw Lin Feng’s summoned dead enemies approach Shikoutazer while Leone explained that she had saved Tatsumi’s life at great cost. As Honest realized that the returned Imperial officials were under Lin Feng’s control, a gigantic white humanoid emerged from a fissure before the battlefield.

• Leone told Akame that Lionelle had kept Tatsumi alive, though his damaged nervous system would weaken his senses and likely prevent him from fighting.
• Akame and Najenda recognized Sten, Izou, and Zanku among the figures Lin Feng had summoned, while Dotya and Nyau also advanced toward Shikoutazer.
• Mine reflected that Lin Feng had repeatedly helped Night Raid and brought its members back to life.
• Honest warned the young emperor that the returned officials were likely under Lin Feng’s control as the ground shook and a vast fissure opened.
• A gigantic white humanoid emerged from the fissure, nearly as tall as Shikoutazer, and Kurome recognized it.

Kurome watched Lin Feng’s puppet army confront the Shikoutazer and questioned the source of his power. Minister Honest learned that the Shikoutazer’s strength had fallen because he lacked royal blood, but its defenses still repelled Dr. Stylish’s attack.

• Kurome recognized the giant white creature as Dr. Stylish in his berserk form and doubted that he could threaten the Shikoutazer.
• Lin Feng appeared unharmed after taking the Shikoutazer’s punches and asked Kurome to watch his puppet army, saying it would show why her sister had wanted to change the country.
• Minister Honest realized that the retainers had become Lin Feng’s subordinates and recognized Dr. Stylish as a former business associate.
• The Shikoutazer warned Honest that its power had decreased because its pilot lacked royal blood, and Honest resented the young emperor whose blood was needed to activate its full power.
• Dr. Stylish struck at the Shikoutazer, but its air barrier sliced apart his arms before they could hit, leaving the Shikoutazer unharmed.

Lin Feng and his allies destroyed Shikoutazer’s storm shield by exploiting its limited energy reserves and striking its weak point. With the shield gone, Lin Feng unleashed the River of Death’s undead army against the giant machine.

• Minister Honest’s storm shield sliced Dr. Stylish apart while Dr. Stylish continued attacking Shikoutazer, until the shield’s energy reserves ran out.
• Lin Feng called for his allies to aim at Shikoutazer’s jaw, and their combined attacks damaged its armor and exposed a crack.
• Izou’s final strike shattered Shikoutazer’s gale shield reserve point, disabling the shield system.
• Honest realized Dr. Stylish had served as bait while Lin Feng’s group targeted the shield’s weakness.
• Lin Feng sent the undead army, including members of the Gathered Heroes Group, Ogre, and Zank the Executioner, toward Shikoutazer’s exposed wound.

Honest watched Lin Feng raise the dead Imperial Guard and turn the battle against Shikoutazer, while attacks exploited damage in the Supreme Throne’s armor. Facing mounting losses, Honest persuaded the young emperor to activate Shikoutazer’s final form, Purge Mode.

• Honest realized Lin Feng had summoned dead Imperial Guard members from across the capital, including troops who had been sent to reinforce him.
• Lin Feng’s undead forces killed Imperial Guard soldiers, and their deaths expanded his River of Death reserves and experience.
• Ogre and the puppet soldiers fired their heavy weapons at Shikoutazer’s neck, damaging its left hand by striking previously weakened armor.
• Honest urged the young emperor to activate Shikoutazer’s Purge Mode, claiming only the emperor could unleash its full power.
• The emperor agreed, and a brilliant golden light erupted from the throne behind him.

Lin Feng arrived and took control of the battle, but Shikoutazer unleashed a devastating transformation that turned it into a purplish-black machine god. As its killing intent weakened the undead and crushed the battlefield with pressure, the young emperor and Honest celebrated their weapon’s power.

• Lin Feng arrived on the battlefield, and his order sent the Imperial Guard puppets away from Shikoutazer.
• Najenda recalled that the Teigu Demon Incursion had been described as a small portion extracted from the throne and sensed that something was wrong.

• Black-purple substance merged with Shikoutazer, restoring its body and transforming its shell with fur, scales, and ancient patterns.
• Shikoutazer’s tangible killing intent caused puppets to collapse and left Night Raid struggling to breathe.
• The young emperor’s throne turned black-purple, and Honest declared that Shikoutazer would send its enemies to hell.

Izou rushed the demonized Machine God but was crushed, and the Machine God’s destructive power threatened the Imperial Capital. Lin Feng evaded its punch and called on another power as a familiar figure emerged from the frozen ground.

• Izou attacked the Machine God with four waves of sword energy, but it crushed him in its mechanical hand.
• The Machine God leaped into the sky and landed on the Imperial Guard and surrounding districts, crushing the undead beneath its foot.
• The Machine God circled behind Lin Feng and punched at him, but Lin Feng used the Power of Alucard to dodge.
• The Machine God gathered energy for another Destruction Orb, and Najenda feared it would destroy the Imperial Capital.
• Lin Feng poured his will into Level Zero: River of Death, and the frozen ground shattered to reveal a familiar figure.

Lin Feng summoned Esdeath to stop Shikoutazer’s fully charged Destruction Orb, and she used Mahapadma and massive ice pillars to redirect its beam into the sky. Honest survived the blast, but the attack darkened the sky and disintegrated part of the ice beneath Shikoutazer.

• Najenda and Night Raid recognized Esdeath and feared her, but her eyes opened crimson like Lin Feng’s.
• Lin Feng poured his mental power and blood energy into Esdeath so she could respond to Shikoutazer’s attack.
• Esdeath raised five enormous ice pillars as Honest finished charging the Destruction Orb.
• Esdeath activated Mahapadma, froze time, and tilted Shikoutazer by raising the ice beneath its feet.
• Shikoutazer fired its beam into the sky, where it stained the clouds purple-black and disintegrated parts of the ice pillars.

Esdeath trapped Shikoutazer in ice and attacked it with ice soldiers and frost dragons, but Honest seized control of the Machine God and forced it to break free. Shikoutazer’s counterattack battered Night Raid, and Lin Feng emerged from the shadows to face the escalating danger.

• Esdeath froze the ground beneath Shikoutazer and trapped it in elevated ice, leaving the young emperor unable to control the Machine God.
• Honest kicked the young emperor from the throne, took control of Shikoutazer, and endured its Dragon Transformation energy until he claimed its power.
• Esdeath summoned ice soldiers and two frost dragons that battered Shikoutazer and slowed its movements.
• Shikoutazer regained its mobility by releasing steam from its feet, then shattered the surrounding ice with a leap and landing.
• Lubbock used Infinite Uses: Cross Tail to shield Night Raid from the storm of ice shards, exhausting his remaining threads.
• Lin Feng emerged from a pool of shadow and assessed the battle as beyond his expectations.

Honest escaped Esdeath’s ice prison and confronted Lin Feng, who explained that he sought to protect those he cared about and would have revenge for Honest’s crimes. After Honest’s attacks repeatedly failed to kill Lin Feng, Honest activated Shikoutazer’s self-destruct mode, while Lin Feng accessed his fully unlocked Alucard Template.

• Honest broke free from Esdeath’s frost prison and destroyed her ice attacks with the Machine God’s power.
• Lin Feng recalled his undead soldiers and told Honest he would eliminate him to protect the people he cared about.
• Honest used Shikoutazer’s maximum output to strike Lin Feng, but Lin Feng reappeared after being seemingly killed and then buried beneath a boulder.
• Honest, enraged by Lin Feng’s return, activated Shikoutazer’s self-destruct mode to try to drag him to hell.
• Lin Feng entered his Alucard Template after the system announced that its experience and skills had reached their maximum values.

Lin Feng awakened Alucard’s Ultimate Skill, Eye of the Dark Heavens, and used it to overwhelm the battlefield with a blood-red vision that left the Imperial Guard helpless before the Danger Beasts. He confronted Honest inside the vision and began pulling the Jeweled Headdress Erastone from his grasp.

• Lin Feng unlocked Eye of the Dark Heavens and felt Alucard’s power surge through his body.
• Lin Feng filled the sky with blood-red eyes and mist, leaving the Imperial Guard entranced as the Danger Beasts slaughtered them.
• Seryu called out to Wave while the Imperial Guard froze, and Honest found that the Machine God’s display and controls could no longer function normally.
• Honest tried to counter Lin Feng by activating Jeweled Headdress Erastone, but the crown did not shatter Lin Feng’s ability.
• Lin Feng appeared behind Honest with four black arms, restrained him, and tried to remove the crown.

Lin Feng defeated Honest by stripping away his Teigu and trapping him in an illusion that led him to his death. He then summoned Esdeath’s soul to lift the Machine God into the clouds and destroyed it with a final salute from his guns.

• Lin Feng crushed Honest’s Jeweled Headdress Erastone, releasing the forbidden drug’s toxins into Honest’s body.
• Honest hallucinated an ocean as he tried to escape the burning pain, then leaped to his death and shattered his skull against the ground.
• Lin Feng explained that Eye of the Dark Heavens had made Honest’s fears shape his fate, then turned to the still-active Machine God.
• Lin Feng summoned Esdeath’s soul and joined his blood energy with hers to raise the Machine God into the clouds on a pillar of ice.
• Lin Feng fired Casull and Jackal at the Machine God, destroying it in a tremendous explosion that cleared the sky of miasma.

Lin Feng returned with his allies after defeating the Machine God and promised to build a new nation. As everyone rested at his villa, he proposed a government based on shared power and voting, then prepared to help Kurome become the same race as Akame, prompting Sheele to misunderstand what she saw.

• Lin Feng reassured Mine and the others that the battle was over and promised to build a new nation.
• Sheele arrived with Shambhala and the food she had cooked, and Lin Feng took everyone back to his villa.
