The blade flashed with brilliant light, erupting forward with blinding speed, instantly forming a dazzling rainbow that reached the soldiers' eyes.
At that moment, the soldiers saw nothing but light. Their pupils contracted to pinpoints under the searing brightness, and then their vision went black.
But Akame watched in awe as the young man pointed his blade forward. After a flash of light…
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Blood gushed from the soldiers' bodies as they collapsed to the ground, one after another.
The acrid stench of blood filled the air. With a single strike, every last soldier had been killed.
Stunned, Akame was utterly overwhelmed.
She had never witnessed such overwhelming power, something that shattered her understanding of the world. That light... it was beyond anything a human body could produce. What made it even more incomprehensible was that the young man was wielding her own blade.
Murasame was indeed an Imperial Arm, but its Ability was nothing like this.
In the early days of the Empire, the first Emperor, seeking to maintain stability and unity, forged forty-eight Imperial Arms, each with a unique ability. Those who wielded these weapons possessed immense power. While each Imperial Arm's ability was unique, none possessed such overwhelming force.
"Your blade!"
Startled, Akame turned to see the young man suddenly turn around. He flipped the blade, pointed the hilt toward her, and extended it.
"I'm Xiyao's brother. Thank you for everything you've done," Qin Yi said with a gentle smile.
Dazed, Akame accepted the blade and nodded. "Thank you!"
By then, Qin Xiyao, Tatsumi, and Nine-Tails had caught up. When they saw the scene before them, their eyes widened in disbelief.
Hundreds of Imperial soldiers lay fallen, the rain pooling on the ground stained crimson with blood.
The man before them had promised to slaughter every enemy, and he had carried out that promise without mercy.
"Brother."
Qin Xiyao approached, took a deep breath, her eyes flickering.
"I want to ask you to end this war!"
If she could, she truly wished to grow stronger through her own efforts, to slowly catch up to this man's pace. But she felt utterly powerless. Since entering this world, the deaths of her siblings had made her deeply aware of the All Heavens world's cruelty. This wasn't just a game for Kings. As a ruler, the life you must endure is a thousand times greater than that of others, with far more pain and hardship.
It was like experiencing countless mortal lives, a forging of the spirit, yet the helplessness within could drive one to despair.
Qin Yi's gaze sharpened, then he nodded. "Since it's your request..."
"I will naturally fulfill it!"
Qin Xiyao closed her eyes, a faint smile gracing her face. But then her body went limp, and she collapsed.
Tatsumi's reflexes were lightning-fast; he caught her in his arms. "Xiyao-jie!"
Akame and Nine-Tails' expressions changed drastically as they watched Qin Xiyao with deep concern.
"She's alright. She's just been under too much pain and pressure, and she couldn't hold on any longer."
"Let her rest well for a while."
Qin Yi's gaze sharpened, and he spoke in a firm voice.
Then, he took a step forward, unleashing an incomparably fierce aura.
Starlight began to coalesce around him, like stars adorning the night sky, radiating a supreme yet impossibly distant and formidable power.
"Has this world truly exhausted you so?"
His aura intensified, and his eyes burned with a chilling intensity.
This sole younger sister had left the deepest impression on him since arriving in this world. Her courage, her fearlessness, her kindness, and her genuine concern for him had given Qin Yi a sense of family. Because of this, he had always cherished and cared for her dearly. However, respecting her independent nature, he had refrained from interfering in her affairs.
Now, seeing his sister suffering so greatly, his heart ached beyond words. An overwhelming rage ignited within him, burning fiercely.
"I truly want to destroy this world!" Qin Yi muttered, his eyes narrowing.
Boom!
In an instant, starlight erupted, causing buildings within a thousand-meter radius to collapse and shatter violently. Deep fissures snaked across the ground, radiating a terrifying aura.
Akame, Tatsumi, and Nine-Tails were utterly stunned, trembling with awe.
"Our King... Our King, you've grown even stronger!" Nine-Tails stammered, his voice trembling.
Qin Yi's gaze sharpened as he turned to Nine-Tails. "You were gravely wounded even in the Mortal Realm."
"It seems Yue Wu (unsurpassable) truly lives up to its name!" he remarked coolly.
Nine-Tails lowered his head, deeply ashamed.
He had underestimated the Mortal Realm, falling into their trap and being wounded by their arcane technology. Though he ultimately unleashed his full power and conquered that world, the injuries lingered, stubbornly refusing to heal. Otherwise, Your Highness wouldn't have suffered such a miserable fate in this realm.
"Akame, your injuries are severe. Let me help you."
Qin Yi turned his gaze back to Akame, his right hand fingers trembling slightly.
"Five Qi Return to Origin!"
Flecks of starlight bloomed, drifting toward Akame, who stared in stunned silence. The starlight swiftly merged into her body, and to her astonishment, her wounds began to heal. Even her Essence, Energy, and Soul (Jin-Qi-Shen) were restored.
"So miraculous!" Akame exclaimed involuntarily.
"If you ever have the chance, come to our world with Xiyao. You'll see even more wonders there," Qin Yi said with a smile.
Then he continued, "Now, could you take me to meet your BOSS?"
Tatsumi immediately replied, "Of course, our King. Please follow me."
The group immediately left the Imperial Capital, heading towards Night Raid's base.
About fifteen minutes after their departure, a series of muffled hoofbeats echoed through the capital's streets.
Leading the charge was a female General with long blue hair, her eyes radiating arrogance and superiority.
Arriving at the scene, she surveyed the scattered corpses of soldiers and the kilometer-wide swath of collapsed buildings, a cold smirk curving her lips.
"Intriguing, truly intriguing."
"They actually escaped, leaving behind such a delightfully chaotic scene."
At that moment, a soldier in full armor approached and knelt on one knee.
"General Esdeath, we've learned that the mastermind behind this incident wasn't any member of Night Raid."
Esdeath flicked her riding whip with a sharp crack, slashing across the soldier's face and leaving a bloody welt.
"Oh? Tell me more."
The soldier's expression remained unchanged as he swiftly replied.
"He's a young man, armed with a single blade. He kills as casually as eating or drinking, and possesses a terrifying Ability, with a single strike, he annihilated General Sadrul's entire two-thousand-man army!"
"Furthermore, the collapse of all structures within a kilometer radius is also attributed to him."
"Based on our estimates, this young man wields immense power!"
"I fear..."
The soldier hesitated, leaving his sentence unfinished.
"Fear what? Speak!"
Esdeath sneered, and her whip left another bloody welt across the soldier's body.
"I fear he could even challenge you in battle!" the soldier gritted out through clenched teeth.
Esdeath's eyes narrowed momentarily, then she smiled.
"Excellent! You've successfully piqued my interest."
"Then, I grant you death!"
With those words, an icy aura swept over the kneeling soldier, freezing him into a frozen statue in the blink of an eye.
