"No, what we really need to do is what comes after that... Imagine if the Revolutionary Army destroyed the Empire, what would they do after that?"

Observing the changing expressions of the Imperial Arms user, the commander quickly added, "That's right, they're establishing a new empire. So what will happen in this new empire? At first, they might be as enlightened as the founding emperor of this empire, but what about later? Can you guarantee they won't gradually decay like this empire?"

"...What do you plan to do?"

Upon hearing the question he most wanted to hear, the commander rallied: "The root of the empire's corruption lies in its system. If we can eradicate this corrupt system and allow everyone to participate in deciding the future path of this empire—no, this country—then this corruption caused by excessive concentration of power will not occur, right?"

"To put it another way, even if a similar event had occurred back then, people would have had the ability and leeway to overturn the existing mistakes, instead of having to pay the price of countless lives to correct them, or even continue to make the same mistakes after they have been corrected."

Facing the bewildered and confused Imperial Arms users before him, the commander knew he was safe: "What you did could only be called a riot, this is a true revolution!"

Inside the capital city.

Night Raid's ace, the assassin wielding the Teigu named "Murasame," is behaving quite abnormally today...

After knocking a soldier unconscious with the hilt of his sword, he met Tatsumi's questioning gaze and simply explained, "They are also enemies of the Empire."

"I see……"

The newly recruited assassin, having received an explanation, looked enlightened: "So, we all aimed to overthrow the empire, yet we had to resort to arms against each other like this?"

Recalling the "ideology" she had heard from the "prisoner" imprisoned in the Night Raid basement over the past few days, Akame paused slightly in her movements: "...Perhaps, they also have their own purposes."

Soul Leap: Chapter 328 Akame ga Kill! (6)

Although the Teigu users from the Revolutionary Army did not go all out for various reasons, the resistance from within the Imperial Capital was a completely different story.

There are two generals in the Empire: Esdeath, who has disappeared, and General Bud, who is stationed in the capital. With one of them gone, the only one who keeps everyone in the Empire confident in holding the capital is General Bud. And since the start of the war, the abilities that this Imperial Arms user, who also possesses an Imperial Arms, has shown have certainly lived up to people's expectations of him.

"The Thunder Emperor is summoning!"

Terrifying lightning surged from his fists, transforming into lightning serpents that spread in all directions, indiscriminately turning anything that tried to approach into charred black objects that fell to the ground.

"Teigu user spotted. Requesting fire support!"

The use of weapons of mass destruction is prohibited in urban areas.

"So we're just going to watch our soldiers sacrifice themselves in vain?!"

[...You could try sniping him.]

Turning his head, he looked around at the surrounding terrain—there was almost no area around the Empire's Grand General that could be used as a sniping point. The palace area in the center of the capital was a good choice, but if they could really occupy the palace area, would they need to make things difficult for an Empire's general here?

"boom--"

The colonel's act of bowing his head at the last moment saved his life. He didn't care about anything else and roared into the other end of the walkie-talkie, "If there's no support, you can expect to be collecting our corpses!"

The roar coming from the other end of the walkie-talkie made the commander's eye twitch slightly. Receiving intelligence from the front lines was not his job, but with only two people in the command room, one of whom was a member of the "Revolutionary Army" whose life and fortune were in his hands, he had no choice but to take on multiple roles to do these things.

However, his refusal of the request for frontline fire support was not without reason. Long ago, after the main policy towards this world was determined on Earth, he specifically instructed the expeditionary force to avoid casualties among innocent civilians as much as possible. This was partly due to the long-term need for the "liberation" of this world, and partly due to the need to acquire many resources for the subsequent development of this world. After all, it was impossible to say that even the most basic cleaning and mining work had to be transferred from Mount Everest on Earth one by one. It would be better if we could "use local materials".

Taking these factors into account, before deciding to launch an operation against the densely populated capital, the expeditionary force had issued instructions to avoid actions that could cause mass casualties unless in an extremely urgent situation.

Obviously, while an imperial general could be a "troublesome" force for a small squad, the commander simply couldn't believe that he alone could force the entire expeditionary force into a sorry state or even suffer a crushing defeat... Not everyone is like "him".

That being said, the problem still needs to be addressed. After all, being blocked from entering the palace by a Teigu user is not a good thing. Without a suitable point-to-point attack method and without the ability to use large-scale destructive weapons, it seems that there is only one type of opponent who can deal with this Teigu user...

Thinking this, the commander subconsciously looked at the Teigu user in front of him.

"Don't look at me like that. In this battle, I can only remain neutral and can't do anything for you... not to mention that I can't defeat that 'General Brad' either."

Recalling the rumors she had heard about this Imperial General, Chelsea couldn't help but show a sigh: "He is a strong person with the same name as Esdeath—the strongest Imperial Arms user. Even assassination might not succeed, let alone a head-on fight. I am not the kind of assassin like that."

Considering the "abilities" that the Teigu user had previously displayed, the commander had no choice but to give up. Although the physical abilities of humans in the other world were generally higher than those of Earthlings, it was indeed a bit much to ask a Teigu user whose specialty was disguise to fight against a Teigu user whose specialty was direct combat. But this made things seem a bit troublesome.

Just as the commander was considering whether to disregard the ban and activate some unconventional weapons with a relatively small kill radius, a violent tremor suddenly came from beneath his feet. When he looked towards the capital, what came into his view was a "huge" figure slowly rising from the bustling palace district.

—It is indeed very large.

His chest alone reached above the top of the palace, and the shadow cast by his outstretched arms covered almost half of the palace.

When this enormous humanoid figure stood upright, its total length of over 200 meters caused all the expeditionary soldiers who saw it to instinctively hold their breath, fearing that they might awaken this sleeping giant at any moment... Unfortunately, from the moment it appeared, it was destined that it could not "sleep".

Those who dare to offend the Empire, let us show you the power of the Supreme Throne!

Raising its massive foot, several meters wide, ignoring the cries and pleas for help from its subjects below, the first and strongest Imperial Arm slammed its foot heavily onto this fragile land—

"boom----------!!!"

Then, a battle that was almost a one-sided massacre began.

If the modern armies of the Industrial Age, with their massive productivity, were previously able to carry out highly efficient massacres against the armies of this era, then now the scene is being repeated in reverse.

Given the sheer size of the target, no attack could possibly miss it. However, no matter what kind of attack it was, it became utterly useless once it hit its armored protective layer, which was often tens of meters thick.

Bullets were deflected, shells became decorations, and heavy armored tanks were trampled into iron discs as toys, along with the imperial subjects who could not escape in time, all turning into a mixed "wreckage".

Gazing at the scene that could only exist in a nightmare, the commander felt all his previous understanding of the "other world" crumbling with every move of that terrifying "supreme throne"—

"Are you the leader of this mob?"

Turning around in surprise, he discovered that the Empire's Grand General, Brad, had arrived while the Emperor was wielding the "Supreme Throne" to reap lives. Brad looked at him with disdain as he extended his palm, golden lightning crackling within it as he did so.

"Die with this powerless regret."

Soul Leap: Chapter 329 Akame ga Kill! (End) (Third Update)

The lightning generated by the Imperial Arms successfully hit its target, but Brad showed no sign of joy.

"...And who are you, buddy?"

On the charred black mark left by the high temperature of the thunder, what appeared was not a black, inhuman-shaped charred object, but a figure still standing, and the number of figures had increased from one to two.

Looking at the figure that had appeared out of nowhere, the empire's general felt a sense of foreboding—this was not merely due to not being able to see the figure's face or his inexplicable appearance, but rather something deeper...

"the third time."

“…I’m sorry, Mr. Lin.”

Calming his rapid breathing, this was the second time the commander had "escaped death" since entering this world. Moreover, compared to the last time when he was only swept away by the aftershocks of the ice at the edge, this time he faced the lightning attack head-on and had a much deeper feeling.

If possible, the commander would like to ignore everything and run away immediately, but as the supreme commander of the expeditionary force, and also the only expeditionary force representative in this other world who can directly contact this "collaborator," the commander has some things he has to bring up.

"Mr. Lin, if possible, please try not to cause too much damage to the capital—"

"Thor, summon him—!!!"

A furious roar from the Imperial General interrupted the Commander's unfinished words. Under the light of the lightning, which was even more intense than before, the Commander, who was just an ordinary human, could only close his eyes and could not make any effective response.

Once again, the thunderbolt accurately hit its target. This time, the commotion was so great that even the capital city center could notice it. As the smoke and dust from the explosion gradually dissipated, Brad, who was panting from exerting his maximum effort, suddenly narrowed his eyes.

"...The last time I had this feeling was when the late emperor was still alive."

The Imperial Arms clicked and clacked as the Empire's Grand General's face hardened with bloodlust: "You are worthy to withstand this blow, Rai—"

"You call this 'thunder'?"

Before his consciousness could react, instinct had already driven General Brad to raise his head.

Ignorance is the original sin, but sometimes knowing something isn't necessarily a good thing.

Ever since he received this Imperial Arm that could control lightning, Brad has had the feeling more than once that he could control all the lightning power in the world. With this powerful lightning power, he became the Great General who guarded the empire and an indispensable "cornerstone" for the continuation of this empire.

However, when Brad, who had gained a basic understanding of the power of lightning because of this Imperial Arm, truly faced this "lightning," all his illusions were shattered.

Not a few meters, not tens of meters, not hundreds of meters—but tens of thousands of meters above the ground.

The massive magnetic field, drawn by an unknown force, collided violently, unleashing a beam of light beyond the limits of visual perception. This beam of light traversed tens of kilometers, tearing a twisted and grotesque rift in the sky before plummeting straight into his body. Only in the instant his flesh and consciousness were completely reduced to ashes within this beam of light did Brad realize that this was not light, but—

"thunder."

After the intense light came the impact and the shockwave.

The force of the magnetic field collision, tens of kilometers above the Earth's surface, was unleashed without reservation onto the surface. After carbonizing and destroying all matter in a large central area, it transformed into a visible shock that spread outwards. The city wall, more than two hundred meters away, was blown away and collapsed as easily as if it were made of paper. The enormous kinetic energy directly triggered a local earthquake with a focal depth of 0. It wasn't until several seconds later that the terrifying aftershocks of the thunder subsided.

……

"Cough cough..."

With his mouth agape, desperately drawing in the last vestiges of oxygen, the commander, struggling to his feet despite the intense dizziness, was met with a figure directly facing him: "What did you just say?"

Behind his not-so-tall figure, the charred, black void with radiation exceeding five hundred meters robbed the commander of all his ability to speak. When he subconsciously looked towards the capital, he unsurprisingly saw only ruins. He could only manage a dry laugh: "It's nothing."

Lin Yi didn't pay much attention to the reaction of the "collaborator" in front of him. After all, they were just some trivial matters. As long as they could do what he needed, that was enough. Investing too much expectation would only lead to more disappointment... just like the "doll" in front of him.

[You sinner! What have you done to my capital?!]

Struggling to his feet from the ruins of the capital, which had been almost half-razed, the emperor, riding on his "Supreme Throne," roared in fury upon noticing the horrific scene beneath him, and then recklessly moved toward it.

Lift your foot, then land.

"earth."

Silently, numerous cracks rapidly spread across the ground, enveloping the "Supreme Throne." Then, under the pull of an invisible force, large amounts of soil that should have been restrained on the ground floated up, layer by layer encasing the "Supreme Throne," which was constantly trying to break free by stepping on the ground.

"fire."

The calm words stirred an unknown force. The space, which had been somewhat desolate due to the large amount of matter removed, began to heat up rapidly. The huge earthen ball at the very center was gradually stained crimson by countless horrified gazes, until the sphere, which had completely turned into lava, crashed down with a roar.

"boom--------"

----------segmentation----------

"Akame, Tatsumi!"

"Najjhitan? Look! The Emperor of the Empire and the 'Supreme Throne'—"

Without even glancing in the direction that had drawn all the attention of the entire capital, the revolutionary leader, who had finally managed to rush back, said anxiously, "There's no time to explain, let's go!"

"Leave? Why? The emperor of the empire has already—"

"It can't end so simply!"

As if echoing her words, a huge dragon-shaped creature, exuding an aura completely different from before, slowly rose from the half-melted crimson magma. It scanned its surroundings with its scarlet, crazed gaze and quickly noticed the figure on the edge of the capital who made no attempt to conceal its presence.

"How is this possible... to survive an attack of this magnitude and still—"

"That's it, let's go!"

"No! If the 'Supreme Throne' is really that powerful, we must destroy it now, otherwise the Revolutionary Army alone cannot defeat it!"

"The High Throne?"

Looking at Akame, who stood her ground, with a surprised expression, Najenda realized that Akame had completely misunderstood her: "I was talking about that 'monster,' not the 'Supreme Throne'!"

"……Eh?"

----------segmentation----------

It must be admitted that, given the activity level of a low-activity world, it is quite rare for a weapon to be able to withstand such "durability". It is at least much stronger than those parasitic beasts from the same low-activity world back then... Perhaps it is because this weapon itself has no subjective thinking ability?

Lin Yi couldn't see anything, and the sounds he heard were somewhat indistinct, but that didn't prevent him from knowing what was happening.

The "Supreme Throne," transformed into a dragon, charged towards this place from the ravaged capital with even greater power and speed than before. Judging from the emotions emanating from the controller within, it seemed unlikely to stop until everything in its path was destroyed and killed.

"...There's no difference."

The "Supreme Throne," charging towards the earth with a tearing force, raised its head and gently opened its tightly closed eyes. From the ever-swirling black vortex that led directly to the "Root," a bright full moon was reflected.

Meanwhile, Akame, who was confused and disoriented by Najenda's "incomprehensible" remarks, also noticed the anomaly above her head—an anomaly that anyone who could see would notice.

What should have been the bright midday sun was instead replaced by a gloomy darkness. However, the light projected onto the ground showed no signs of diminishing; on the contrary, it was even stronger than before. But the source of the light was no longer that blazing star that constantly radiated light and heat, but another planet that also refracted light but did not bring any temperature...

In a daze, Akame seemed to hear a whisper that sounded like a murmur.

"The moon sets."

The cool moonlight fell quietly, from nothing to something, from small to large, from weak to strong—until the moment of actual contact.

Under the cold moonlight, the Imperial Arms user stared blankly as the "Supreme Throne," over two hundred meters long, was crushed into the ground like an ant by the "falling moon." Then, beneath the continuously sinking moon, the cracks in the ground spread and widened. In less than five seconds, this magnificent city—the Imperial Capital—built with countless hours and efforts from generations, vanished without a trace. The moon, about to fall and encroach upon this place, also disappeared like a flower in water, leaving only this endless expanse of collapsed terrain...

The final battle that erupted in the capital city ended with the complete disappearance of the capital city and its millions of inhabitants. Not everyone was satisfied with this outcome, but even if they were not, it was impossible to continue to "resist" at this point—unless they planned to become the next "capital city".
