Chapter 101

The 'Eye of God' on Akame's waist emitted a soft light, and her figure was covered with a layer of light film. She did not dodge as Desta Guru's arm came down towards her.

This is the power of 'virtualization' given to her by the 'Eye of God', which can temporarily turn her body and anything she touches into a phantom. It cannot be touched by physical attacks. The 'Eye of God' also enhances her senses, speed, strength, and reaction, making her several times stronger than she was before receiving it.

In addition, she already knew all of her sister's trump cards from the Lord God, so she didn't need ten moves to subdue her sister. Subduing someone is ten times harder than killing them.

Kurome's face changed, and she exclaimed, "Come up here, sister, are you crazy?" She wanted to turn her sister into a corpse doll to be with her forever, not to crush her to pieces!

Just when she thought her sister would be crushed by Desta Guru, she found that her sister had passed through Desta Guru's claws like a phantom, stepping on the skeletal arm and rushing towards her.

Kurome quickly rushed forward with her knife in both hands: "Sister, as always, surprises me. Sister is not someone who wants to die."

The black-eyed Teigu and the red-eyed Teigu collided instantly. Akame, now several times stronger, could touch Kurome in the 'virtual' state, but Kurome could not touch Akame at all.

At the moment when the Teigu collided, Kurome was shaken and fell back, her pupils shrinking suddenly.

'So powerful! So strong! My sister has become so strong, much stronger than before!'

Before she could regain her center of gravity, Akame's blade slashed towards her again.

Kurome suddenly smiled, "Am I going to die? It's not bad to die by my sister's hands."

The sword light slashed at Kurome's body, and her waist bag was chopped into pieces, spilling all the pills inside. These pills could enhance vitality and improve combat effectiveness, while preventing unconsciousness due to poisoning or pain. Akame wanted to knock her sister out, so she would never give her that chance.

Kurome realized, 'You cut the bag filled with medicine?' Only then did she understand that her sister really wanted to capture her alive, and she smiled bitterly.

"Sister, you are still so naive. You gave me a chance and exposed your flaws!"

Kurome had already adjusted her center of gravity, and because Akame was cutting her bag, her left shoulder had been exposed. Kurome held her knife in both hands and slashed hard at her sister's shoulder.

Being hit in the shoulder, even Akame would be in trouble. But when the knife hit Akame's shoulder, it passed through like a phantom.

An afterimage?

Just as Kurome thought this, Akame's hand struck her neck.

Thunk!

'What happened... even if it's like this... Desta Guru, roar!'

Kurome gave the order before she fainted. In her mind, she was willing to die with her sister.

Desta Guru's terrain-changing roar required energy storage, and the few moments during Akame and Kurome's battle were enough.

"Roar!"

The blue energy ball in Desta Guru's mouth charged up, and a huge blue light beam, ten meters in diameter, shot towards Akame. Akame quickly grabbed Kurome and entered the 'virtual state'.

Rumble, rumble—

The blue light beam hit the ground, sending stones and soil flying from deep underground, as if struck by a meteor. The area of destruction expanded rapidly in a fan shape.

The rest of the Shadow Chasing Court had already solved the Four Rakshasa Demons in two or three rounds. After dealing with their opponents, they ran behind Desta Guru to avoid danger. Only Bulat, who was wearing the armored Teigu, kept pressing down on Bols, and their battle area was within Desta Guru's attack range.

Bols, whose spray gun had been shattered by Bulat's blows, continued to resist the attacks of Bulat's spear. He thought he would be pierced by the spear in the next moment and was ready to detonate his Teigu to take his opponent down with him.

'Is this the end? I'm sorry, daughter, I won't be able to return.'

But when he found that Bulat had withdrawn his attack and turned around to run, a dazzling light came from behind him. As he turned his head, before he could react or scream, he was engulfed by the light.

Rumble, rumble, rumble

The large forest in front of them was instantly turned into a thousand-meter-long fan-shaped ruin. The trees within the range were uprooted, and the deeper earth and rocks were torn apart.

Scorched smoke filled the ruins. The destructive power of the super-dangerous species was comparable to that of the Seven Gods and could instantly change the terrain over a kilometer.

Akame walked out of the smoke holding her sister Kurome, looking at everyone who had gathered together, waiting for her: "The mission is over, everyone."

Najenda put one hand on her waist and nodded with a smile: "We completed the task for the first time in the Shadow Chasing Court."

Bulat retracted the Teigu armor: "Hahaha, I didn't expect it to be so easy this time. It's a bit surprising."

Lubbock looked at Lan in the sky and waved: "Hey, thanks for helping us solve the most troublesome guy. Why don't you come down and get acquainted?"

Lan smiled and landed on the ground: "Hello, everyone. I am Lan, a former member of the Imperial Capital's police force. I am pursuing justice for personal reasons."

Having said this, he looked at the 'Eyes of God' on everyone's waists.

"It seems that everyone is blessed by God. Are you part of some department of the Kingdom of Justice? Can I join?"

Najenda was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Of course, you can join us. We welcome all those who pursue justice, but we must inform Lord Neuvillette or Lady Furina first."

"Come back with us now."

"That's what I intended."

At the same time, a young man who had come to the Imperial Capital in response to the empire's call looked at the 'Eye of God' in his hand, and the words of the mysterious 'bard' seemed to echo in his ears.

'What is justice? Is justice the order that allows this old empire to continue to exist? Or is justice the order that allows people to obtain fairness, justice, happiness, and freedom without oppression and exploitation by the powerful?'

'You will surely be able to figure it out on your own if you gain the attention of God.'

He had come to the Imperial Capital from a fishing village in the countryside. At that time, the Kingdom of Justice had extended its reach to his village and city, and he had witnessed the opera house where criminals were judged. He knew that the righteous nation that had suddenly appeared represented true justice.

"Even if I was once a navy of the empire, I will protect the people instead of becoming a sword in the hands of the emperor."

Having said this, he hung the 'Eye of God' on his waist with firm resolve and looked at the magnificent palace in the distance.

At the same time, Furina and Neuvillette had completely taken control of the entire southern province. The Law Enforcement Court and the Special Patrol Team had formed an army of one million people and were heading towards the final destination—the Imperial Capital.

Furina floated in the sky, the divine power in her body released, and she raised her arms high. A blue light instantly appeared in the sky—a huge scale measuring over a thousand meters.

"Righteous people, I, Queen of all waters, all directions, all peoples, and all laws, Furina de Fontaine, declare that righteous judgment will be carried out on the last place of sin."

The high-pitched sound spread to an unknown distance. The eyes of the soldiers marching towards the Imperial Capital were full of determination and fanaticism.

Furina looked in the direction of the Imperial Capital and clenched her fists.

"Finally, only the Imperial Capital is left."

Wherever the Law Enforcement Courts and Special Patrol Teams went, they would conduct trials. The Revolutionary Army in the eastern province had all surrendered and accepted trial a few days ago. The foundation of the Revolutionary Army was the people who could no longer stand the corruption of the empire. Now that the people were no longer on their side, the Revolutionary Army existed in name only, leaving only the ambitious high-level officials.

During the trial of those high-ranking officials, the public angrily shouted for the death penalty.

Now, only the Imperial Capital, the ultimate place of sin, remained.

Neuvillette appeared behind Furina and said calmly: "Esdeath has also completely conquered the northern province."

"The next step is to meet her. Are you prepared for the last step?"

Furina put her hand on her chest and said: "Isn't it just a war machine similar to Khaenri'ah's? I have no problem at all now."

Neuvillette nodded: "To establish the foundation of a country of justice, the God of Justice must personally end the source of the old rule."

Furina stretched out her hand, and in her hand appeared a scale containing the beliefs of countless 'Gods of Justice'. The small scale contained a terrifying power that even the gods were surprised by. It was greater than the energy of faith contained in the Cardinal's oracle and rulings, which had collected the faith of the people of Fontaine for 500 years.

This was the fanatical belief of 95% of the people in the largest empire in the world in the 'God of Justice'.

Furina said confidently: "One blow will be enough."
