Leading the Army to Flatten the Capital?

"Flatten the Imperial Capital directly, huh."

Noah rested his chin on his hand, a faint smile tugging at the corner of his lips as he watched Esdeath, exuding her commanding queenly aura.

In the Akame ga Kill world, entities with god-level strength were exceedingly rare. Aside from a few remaining legendary Super-Class Danger Beasts, there were only Esdeath, the Empire's Grand General with upper-level god-level combat power, and General Budo of the Imperial Guard, who was at lower god-level strength.

Even then, their strength was limited to combat capabilities; their spirit, will, divine physique, and status had not reached the level of true gods.

Though Esdeath had just gained her God's Core and condensed the laws into an authority, her body was still within the realm of mortals. It would take time for her God's Core to evolve her into a true divine physique.

In short, the Akame ga Kill world was a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

As for the first Emperor's Teigu, Ultimate Teigu, which supposedly had strength rivaling a god? Against the current Esdeath, it was child's play.

Especially with Furina and Neuvillette by her side.

"Esdeath, join up with Furina first. You will lead the army to capture a city, while Furina will receive it and carry out her trials. Don't focus on speed—stability is key."

Esdeath licked her lips, her ice-blue eyes ablaze with a fiery desire to crush her enemies at will.

"Understood, Master…"

She could feel it—her newfound strength was immense. Like Asmoday, she had now become a god.

Having ascended to godhood, her power had grown at least tenfold compared to before. She was eager to unleash this strength.

That so-called Ultimate Teigu, which only the Emperor could wield, is said to rival divine power. How would it compare to me now?

Glancing at the white-haired woman beside her master, Esdeath noted that Asmoday was still far stronger than her.

But the gap between them was smaller now.

Hmph, one day I will become my master's strongest vassal and defeat all the others.

Suddenly, a thought crossed her mind, and her demeanor shifted back to that of a lovestruck girl. She looked at Noah with anticipation.

"Master, you mentioned a reward for completing the task. Can I reserve mine in advance?"

Noah, fully aware of what she wanted, feigned ignorance and asked, "What kind of reward do you want?"

Esdeath touched her abdomen, her face turning rosy. "I want to have your child. Your child would definitely be incredibly powerful."

Noah snapped his fingers, summoning the World Gate before them. "Once you've completed the mission and returned to Celestia, I can reward you every day if you want."

Esdeath blushed like a shy schoolgirl in love and said, "It's a deal."

She turned around, her expression gradually transforming back into that of an icy queen. Gently touching the spot on her chest where her master had placed his hand, she walked into the World Gate.

Elsewhere, in Kyoroch.

By the fifteenth day after the arrival of the God of Justice, the city had been completely transformed.

The once-busy officials of the Maison Gardiennage and Special Security and Surveillance Patrol were now enjoying an unexpected leisure. By the thirteenth day, the Opera Epiclese had stopped receiving citizen petitions altogether.

The next step was to establish the city's political system.

Centered around the Opera Epiclese, the Maison Gardiennage handled the detention and capture of criminals, while the Special Security and Surveillance Patrol maintained public order. The Path of Peace sect was tasked with spreading religious devotion to the God of Justice.

Managing a city of a million people was impossible with only personnel brought over from Fontaine. Thus, locals with a strong sense of justice were quickly recruited into the Maison Gardiennage and Special Security and Surveillance Patrol.

The ranks of these two institutions grew rapidly, and in just two days, the number of recruits had reached the size of an army of one hundred thousand.

As the Path of Peace paved the way with its propaganda, neighboring cities began to fall under the scales of justice wielded by the God of Justice.

Meanwhile, even in Teyvat, Furina (serving as the avatar of the God of Justice) had not been idle.

Utilizing the faith directed at her from the Akame ga Kill world, she constructed a Oratrice capable of broadcasting its signal across the entire Empire.

This system, created with Noah's permission, was powered by the entirety of human faith currently concentrated in the Akame ga Kill world.

Wherever the influence of the Human Realm Force reached, the Oratrice could function.

The main hub of this system was established in the Opera Epiclese courtroom in Kyoroch. From there, it radiated outward, with satellite nodes placed in surrounding cities.

Under the influence of faith, the system formed a network akin to an internet.

This innovation ensured absolute fairness and justice in every trial. It eliminated the possibility of judicial corruption, bias, or bribery among arbitrators.

An area adjacent to the Opera Epiclese was leveled by the citizens and, over the course of these trials, a grand palace was constructed. It now served as the office for Furina, the God of Justice's avatar, and Neuvillette, the Chief Justice.

The positions within the palace mirrored the administrative structure of Fontaine's highest political body, Palais Mermonia.

Within the palace, a multitude of civil servants worked tirelessly, buried in paperwork. The sound of pens scratching and hurried footsteps filled the halls, leaving little time for conversation.

After all, Kyoroch was not the only city under their jurisdiction.

Following the conclusion of the trials in Kyoroch, the surrounding towns, villages, and even neighboring cities had begun their own trials.

Fontaine's three strongest Vision holders—Clorinde, Wriothesley, and Chevreuse—had led elite forces to extend their reach after dealing with Kyoroch's criminals.

They stormed towns and villages, using brute force to eliminate enforcers and executioners in charge of city defenses. The Path of Peace then entered to promote the faith, placing Oratrice nodes.

Once established, they accepted citizens' petitions, apprehended criminals, and initiated trials.

It almost seemed too smooth, too easy.

Perhaps it was the divine miracles and the voice of the God of Justice, which struck at the very souls of the people, that had already turned many of the Empire's citizens into devout believers.

Moreover, the news of the God of Justice descending in Kyoroch and conducting trials had already spread to nearby towns and cities within just a few days.

By the time the envoys of justice arrived, entire towns were prepared to welcome them with food and drink, ready to submit.

Inside the Palace

Furina sipped delicately on a piece of fine cake offered by her followers, looking visibly fatigued. She swung her legs and sighed.

"Ah~ These past days have been so exhausting. But seeing the smiles on the citizens' faces does make me happy."

"Still, I wanted to go out and explore the streets, but as soon as I step out, everyone drops to their knees. Even when I tell them to relax, they don't listen. It's so boring!"

Neuvillette's desk was piled high with documents, and he was busily working through them, his pen scratching furiously against the paper.

"If you're bored, Lady Furina, perhaps you could assist the civil servants with their paperwork. It would be a productive way to pass the time."

Furina's eyes darted to the mountain of files, and she immediately perked up. "I can't handle paperwork! Forget it; I'll just sit here."

What is wrong with you, Neuvillette? You want me, the God of Justice, to deal with these files? Are you trying to kill me?

At that moment, a member of the Maison Gardiennage entered the room.

"Lady Furina, Lord Neuvillette, six members of the Night Raid squad have expressed their desire to join the Maison Gardiennage. We didn't dare make a decision without consulting you first."
