After witnessing the might of the Northern Country, the Revolutionary Army had originally intended to retreat south and wait for an opportunity to counterattack. The sight of that vibrant, thriving land seemed to be right before their eyes...
However, with the sudden appearance of a certain Super Class Danger Beast, that beautiful future was completely shattered, scattered across this land just like their flesh and blood.
Only a beautiful woman with silver hair and purple eyes was left behind, slumped on the ground at a loss for what to do.
Why does Tyrant still exist in this world?
Why did it happen to appear right here?
Why didn't it kill me, but ran toward the Empire instead?
There were simply too many questions in his heart, but the Leader of the Path of Peace quickly calmed his emotions, even though the Danger Beast bloodline within him was constantly warning him not to approach that creature.
Yet human emotion and will reminded him that if he did nothing, even more people would surely lose their lives!
"I must stop Tyrant!"
The surrounding forest had been completely leveled because of Tyrant, extending into a path that led straight to the Empire's Royal Capital.
The Leader of the Path of Peace only hesitated for a moment before moving his legs toward the Royal Capital. Although his strength wasn't particularly great, he still had a way to control that Super Class Danger Beast!
"As long as someone can take advantage of this time to deliver a fatal blow..."
"Damn it! Why can't I see the future anymore?"
—
The Empire, inside Shikoutazer.
Cerydra had already found the entrance and successfully entered Shikoutazer's cockpit, where she naturally saw the Little Emperor's corpse.
"..."
Cerydra didn't harbor much emotion toward the Little Emperor; he was merely a pitiful and hateful person.
It was just that they were similar in some ways...
Cerydra was a fake princess, supported by the nobles to take the throne as a puppet, but in the end, she killed those nobles and became the true Empress.
In contrast, the Empire's Little Emperor, who was clearly a true descendant of the First Emperor, had been manipulated by the Minister since birth, sitting on a false throne every day, completely blind to reality.
Although most of the Empire's many tragedies were caused by Minister Honest, the Little Emperor also played an irreplaceable role.
"Last Emperor of the Empire, it's a good thing that you're dead. At least in the end, you didn't choose to surrender, but died in battle."
"For the Empire, this can be considered a decent ending."
Looking at the Little Emperor's corpse that looked as if he were sleeping, Cerydra merely raised her hand and waved, causing the Little Emperor to completely vanish into blue flames until he turned into specks of light and disappeared.
From then on, the lineage of the Empire's First Emperor had completely vanished from this world.
"Next, it's time to deal with Shikoutazer..."
"If we could have this Teigu in Amphoreus, wouldn't the Journey of Chasing Fire become much easier?"
Probably not. No matter how weak Akame ga Kill is, it's still a normal world. Amphoreus, on the other hand, is made of data and has an administrator. Even Shikoutazer would likely struggle to become an effective fighting force inside Amphoreus.
However, despite being created through unknown artisan methods, it was ultimately just a slightly complex piece of craftsmanship. For a Demigod like Cerydra, finding the hidden code within it wouldn't be too difficult.
As long as the "code" for bloodline control was lifted, Shikoutazer would completely transform from a weapon of the Empire into the property of the Northern Country.
State policy was merely a formality; strength was the true foundation.
Only after acquiring formidable strength could the Northern Country have hope of becoming a prosperous nation!
Cerydra had already activated her Authority of Law and was about to take control of Shikoutazer, but who could have known that an accident would occur at this moment?
Boom boom—!
The sound of the city being destroyed reached her ears. Even from inside Shikoutazer, Cerydra could hear it clearly.
Sensing that something was wrong, Cerydra immediately shifted her gaze outside, where she saw the giant beast locked in a struggle with Wild Flute.
"Is this Tyrant?"
Cerydra hadn't learned much about Danger Beasts, as most Danger Beasts were very weak. Even with enormous bodies, it couldn't hide their weak nature.
But the Tyrant before her was different, because it was simply too famous in the Akame ga Kill World!
The raw material for the protagonist Tatsumi's Teigu!
A Super Class Danger Beast capable of adapting to its environment and continuously evolving!
When she first learned about Tyrant, Cerydra felt it was nothing special. Its strength definitely wouldn't be very high, considering it was turned into a Teigu by the First Emperor.
However, when Tatsumi's Teigu truly erupted, she finally realized something... it wasn't that Tyrant was weak, but that the anime hadn't portrayed it at all!
In the manga, Tatsumi had defeated Shikoutazer using this Teigu and even survived in the end.
The only reason this Tyrant was turned into a Teigu by the First Emperor was that it had been in its infancy. Heaven knows exactly how strong an adult Tyrant is!
And now, Cerydra finally had the chance to witness Tyrant's might, except...
"I don't want to see it at a time like this! Isn't Bulat already dead? The Teigu was already destroyed, so why is it still alive?"
The questions in her heart surged out like Hysilens's tide, but they quickly drained away until not a drop was left. After all, now wasn't the time to ponder these questions, but to figure out a way to defeat this Super Class Danger Beast!
"Wild Flute, hold it off. I'll be right there!"
Following the Empress's command, the massive Earth Beast immediately exerted every ounce of strength in its body, continuously pushing the dragon before it—which was roughly the same size as itself—forward.
As they were both Super Class Danger Beasts, Wild Flute naturally possessed greater strength and was on the verge of pushing Tyrant out of the Royal Capital.
However, right at this moment, something no one had expected happened. Tyrant's heels were just about to be pushed out of the Royal Capital's borders, but it came to an eerie halt.
"Kekeke—!"
Despite being a beast with a body exceeding a thousand meters, it let out a sinister, human-like laugh from its mouth, as if mocking Wild Flute's efforts.
Immediately after, Tyrant began to exert its strength. To think that Wild Flute actually couldn't match its power?
"What a fast adaptation speed!"
In just about half a minute, Tyrant had adapted to Wild Flute's speed and directly launched a counterattack.
This scene also caused Cerydra's gaze to sharpen.
When dealing with a monster capable of "evolving," one couldn't just attack carelessly. After all, nobody knew what it might evolve into.
And the method to defeat Tyrant in the original work... was the Poisonous curse of Akame's "One-Cut Killer: Murasame"!
But that was also the problem. There was currently no one within the Northern Country who used this Teigu, making it utterly impossible to emulate the situation from the original work.
"This is the only way..."
"Without utilizing the Authority of Law, this is the only method I can use to restrain you."
Cerydra had conserved the vast majority of her strength to use her Authority of Law to modify a certain rule of the Akame ga Kill World. Thus, she had been accumulating power this whole time, using her Demigod abilities as little as possible.
Even with Tyrant's appearance, her mind remained unchanged, because Cerydra wasn't alone. She still had her most loyal knight...
Since ordinary methods were useless against Tyrant, she would let the Nihility that ends all things handle it!
And the person who possessed this power was none other than the "Demigod of Ocean," Hysilens!
