Chapter 430: Haunted by Evil Spirits——(Original)
Just when the imperial capital and the allied forces were about to be destroyed by the "Supreme Throne" summoned by the little emperor, Tatsumi, who was possessed by evil spirits, stepped forward and loudly scolded the little emperor.

"What kind of emperor are you if you drag the people into the battle?"

Tatsumi roared and rushed towards the Supreme Throne, saying, "What protection are you talking about!"

"Shut up!"

The little emperor in the "Supreme Throne" said stubbornly, "The empire that has lasted for a thousand years must not perish in my hands!"

He didn't want to be the king of a fallen country, which would be a great shame for any emperor.

But his obsession cut off the possibility of survival for hundreds of thousands of people in the imperial capital.

Tatsumi also shouted angrily, "What does this have to do with Millennium!!"

Something that has rotted and decayed is meaningless even if it has existed for thousands of years.

Especially this corrupt empire has caused this country and its people to live in dire straits.

Zhou Wenwei and Ke Xinjie, who live in the Republic, agree with this.

"Degenerate things should be swept into the dustbin of history."

Zhou Wenwei agreed, "Many things are not more valuable as they get older. Old things from the feudal era like the Empire were ruthlessly cleared out."

"Why do I feel like there's something else behind your words?"

Ke Xinjie said with a teasing look on her face.

"No, I definitely don't have a problem with the old lady who said she had lines that spread across her body last week."

Zhou Wenwei smiled knowingly and denied it.

At this time, Tatsumi in the animation argued and stood up to attack the "Supreme Throne".

However, the little emperor didn't care. He still argued that he grew up in the palace and was entrusted with important tasks since he was a child. Tatsumi would never understand how he felt.

And with a casual wave of the "Supreme Throne", Tatsumi flew backwards and crashed into a building in the distance.

Faced with the little emperor's sophistry, Tatsumi was still angry.

"I only know that everyone is in pain because of what you are doing now!"

The little emperor went completely crazy and launched another terrifying light wave attack, turning the imperial capital into a living hell.

However, under this attack, Tatsumi dodged the explosion by holding a civilian, and continued to yell at the little emperor, "What the hell are you doing! Just look down and you'll know!"

Then the little emperor saw... the current situation of the imperial capital, which was filled with wailing, corpses and blood due to his indiscriminate attack.

But at this moment, Minister Ernest began to bewitch them again, "Your Majesty! Please do not be bewitched by this man! If you show mercy now, all your efforts will be in vain! They must turn into evil spirits now! This is... their necessary sacrifice!!"

Therefore, the little emperor also fell into self-deception and said numbly, "Yes... yes, you are right."

Now that he has turned the imperial capital into this state, and he has also activated the "Supreme Throne", if he stops here and the rebels break in, all his efforts and the sacrifices of the people of the empire will be in vain.

So... he must continue like this until the empire wins and restores stable rule!
“This is what is called a sunk cost.”

Zhou Wenwei immediately said with emotion, "The sunk cost is the highest. By the time you want to stop, the cost you invested can no longer be recovered."

Ke Xinjie shook her head and said, "This little emperor is not unwilling to hold back because of the sunk costs. He just doesn't want to become a king who loses his country and is infamous for eternity. Eh... He was pushed to the throne by the ministers and is somewhat innocent, but there is nothing he can do."

"In the final analysis, the upper echelons of this empire are completely corrupt."

Zhou Wenwei said, "The upper echelons are so corrupt that it is beyond redemption. Even if a more capable person takes over this position, it will be difficult for him to change the situation."

This is the case with the empire in "Kill! Akame ga Mitsukoshi". The young emperor seems innocent and was pushed to the throne by his minister Ernest.

But this is also the inevitable direction of the end of the empire.

The upper echelons of the empire were corrupt to an outrageous degree, loyal ministers were excluded, and Ernest, the root of corruption, came to power, monopolizing power and even reaching a position where he could decide who would be the emperor.

Thus, the tragedy of the little emperor was born.

However, the little emperor knew this very well, but he still refused to admit it. Even in the face of Tatsumi's loud rebuke, he chose...

Since I can't solve the problem, I will solve the person who raised the problem - this is the way to solve the problem.

Facing the powerful "Supreme Throne", Tatsumi was completely unable to fight back and was even severely injured at one point.

And when he was about to be killed by the "Supreme Throne" controlled by the little emperor...

"Will?"

Will, who was operating the "Noble Chariot", saved Tatsumi at this time.

"I am a soldier of the Empire."

Will seemed to finally realize it at this moment, and said, "I will fight for the people of the empire!"

"Good! I'm very relieved!"

Suddenly, Tatsumi said excitedly.

However, Will still said somewhat arrogantly, "But I'm just repaying you for the favor I did you before."

In the previous plot, Will was saved by Tatsumi, but Tatsumi didn't remember it.

Tatsumi, who was rescued, chose to fight with Will again.

However, facing the powerful "Supreme Throne", they were constantly defeated and injured until they were in a miserable state.

The "Supreme Throne" once again fired a laser attack filled with destructive energy at Tatsumi.

However, Tatsumi was still unwilling to give up. He gritted his teeth and withstood the attack of the "Supreme Throne". He said firmly in his heart, "We can still continue to fight. If we give up... then everything will be over!"

He directed the laser attack to another deserted place, dodged the successive lasers again, and rushed towards the "Supreme Throne"!
But it was this blow...that caused the "Supreme Throne" to pause for a moment.

But the next moment, he was still knocked away by the "Supreme Throne".

"This is how the same thing?"

Tatsumi recalled with some confusion the attack that had just caused the Supreme Throne to pause.

Suddenly he remembered a sentence that Emperor Xingtian had said...

“No matter how strong something is, it has its weaknesses.”

"If you can target that in combat, it can be very effective."

Tatsumi immediately understood...that was the weakness of the "Supreme Throne"!
"Will! Help me create an opportunity!"

He immediately said to Will.

Will immediately understood and immediately attracted the attention of the "Supreme Throne".

At the same time, Tatsumi rushed directly to the original place, and his fist with the huge power of "Devil Haunted" hit the "Supreme Throne" like a meteorite.

As expected! The "Supreme Throne" was actually shattered!

The little emperor on the "Supreme Throne" was also in great pain, as if he had been struck by lightning.

Then he fired another laser attack with even greater power, hitting Tatsumi head-on!

Tatsumi was shot down from the air and fell to the ground, seriously injured.

At the same time, Will seemed to have reached his limit and released the possessed form of "Noble Chariot".

In fact, not only them, but even the little emperor in the "Supreme Throne" looked exhausted.

But he was also very confused.

"Give up... Why do you have to resist me at all costs..."

The little emperor was exhausted and pleaded, "Please, give up!"

But at this moment...

“Don’t underestimate us… We have gone through so much sorrow and burden so many things until now…” Tatsumi, who had fallen to the ground, continued stubbornly, “These are all the thoughts of our friends!! I will not let them all vanish into thin air!”

Immediately, Ke Xinjie said with some emotion, "Yes, it's not just the little emperor, Tatsumi and the others have invested more sunk costs."

The young emperor felt sorry for the people of the empire. Although he might love his people and his empire very much, to be frank, he did not know those people.

What Tatsumi really lost were his companions, including Hill, Brand, Lubbock, Chelsea, Maine, Xingtian, and even his childhood sweethearts Iyeas and Sau who died just after they came out.

These people were all faces he once knew, partners with whom he laughed and talked about the future!

However, Zhou Wenwei said with a strange expression, "The little emperor is in trouble. Tatsumi is about to explode. He probably doesn't understand why Tatsumi is shouting about friendship and bond and then comes to blow up his strongest imperial weapon."

Sure enough, in the animation, after Tatsumi shouted unwillingly, the most classic scene came.

It was as if I fell from the height of my soul, but the scene suddenly changed.

In a desolate land illuminated by the setting sun, a figure that Tatsumi was extremely familiar with and had once admired so much appeared.

It’s…the elder brother Brand who has died in battle!

"There are some sad and painful things, but it's more like this."

"But we still chose to move forward."

It was indeed Brand's voice, and he was talking to Tatsumi.

"Big brother..."

Tatsumi responded somewhat weakly.

"We are the ones who do the disgusting things and then change the world."

The figure of the eldest brother Brand was getting closer and closer to him, as if... he was right in front of him.

"When you have done what you need to do, just disappear quietly."

"Big brother..."

Tatsumi had already gotten rid of the "devil's haunting" by this time, but with blood all over his face, he seemed to be about to fall asleep...

However, at this moment, the eldest brother Brand, who had never looked back, turned around and shouted loudly with excitement and full of fighting spirit -

"Shout! Tatsumi! With your burning soul!"

Tatsumi suddenly woke up, then stood up again, raised the sword of "Devil Haunted" in his hand, and shouted loudly under the leadership of his eldest brother Brand, as if everything was burning -

"An evil ghost is haunting me!!!"

A sudden burst of red light enveloped Tatsumi, and the ferocious dragon-shaped dangerous creature "Tyrande" that resided in "Devil Haunted" fully appeared.

At the same time, with Tatsumi's burning soul... he evolved!

This scene was extremely exciting.

Zhou Wenwei felt his scalp tingling. After all... this was the most exciting scene in the previous life of "Kill! Red Eyes"!
After Tatsumi was possessed by the strongest "Devil's Haunting" after his evolution, a pair of huge dragon wings appeared on his original armor. At this moment, he seemed to have turned into a dragon!
"Don't come over! Don't come over!"

The little emperor looked at Tatsumi with a terrified face, but he was powerless to do anything.

Tatsumi rushed towards the most powerful imperial weapon, the "Supreme Throne", like a golden meteor that cut through the thousand-year-long night that enveloped the world!

"what--!!!"

As if he didn't care about his life, Tatsumi rushed towards the vulnerable part of the "Supreme Throne"!

"Tatsumi! Are you looking for death?!"

The seriously injured Will shouted loudly to Tatsumi.

However, Tatsumi said firmly, "How is it possible... I have an appointment with someone!!"

Flashbacks of Tatsumi's dead companions appeared on the screen, but... Ke Xinjie and Zhou Wenwei felt something was wrong.

But...isn't this only episode 23? Isn't there still one episode left before the finale?
Why does the male protagonist Tatsumi look like he's about to be stabbed in this episode? !

"I will definitely come back alive!"

However, Tatsumi in the anime still looked determined and shouted, "Ahhhhhhhhh——!!"

"Tazmi!!!"

Akagi below was also shouting.

At this moment, Tatsumi roared with an all-consuming rage...

The "Supreme Throne" was pierced by him and passed through his body!

Then there was a loud explosion!

He... won!
And now it seems that Tatsumi is really not dead!
Just when Zhou Wenwei and Ke Xinjie thought that this was just a feint by Lin Qingshan before the finale and that he actually had no intention of using the knife on Tatsumi...

In the animation, Tatsumi, who has broken his mask and revealed his true face, is already victorious. Looking at the "Supreme Throne" that he defeated but is about to collapse, he suddenly realizes something.

No... In the direction where the "Supreme Throne" fell, there were countless innocent civilians!!

Suddenly, he rushed towards the collapsing "Supreme Throne" regardless of everything!
He wants to... protect the people of the empire!
However, the "Supreme Throne" is several hundred meters tall, and even when it has unlocked its strongest "Devil Haunted" form, it is as small as a grain of sand.

“Ah—hey!”

As expected, even though Tatsumi used all his strength in the air and his entire body exploded and gushed out blood, the "Supreme Throne" still inevitably fell down.

but……

Tatsumi still stood in front of everyone, and used force to stop the "Supreme Throne" from continuing to rush forward!
"ah--!!"

With his final roar, the "Supreme Throne" really stopped.

however……

At this time, Akame walked out and wanted to help Tatsumi.

At this moment, Tatsumi's body was gushing with blood like a fountain, and his eyes had completely lost their focus.

He looked at Akame, and finally, holding up his broken body, he said, "I'm sorry... I can't keep my promise... anymore."

Then he fell into the arms of Akame who was walking forward, and lost all signs of life.

"Tatsumi..."

Akame couldn't hold back any longer at this point, tears welled up in her eyes as she chanted Tatsumi's name.

At the very end, in front of the fallen "Supreme Throne", the dead Tatsumi was in Akame's arms, emitting beautiful, dazzling starlight under the setting sun.

Tatsumi... the protagonist of "Akame ga Kill", died in battle to protect innocent civilians!

At this time, Zhou Wenwei's eyes were already a little moist.

Needless to say, Ke Xinjie, whose tear glands were fragile, started crying at this moment.

"You old thief Qingshan, you really are...playing tricks to attack suddenly, right?"

Suddenly, Zhou Wenwei said with gritted teeth.

No one could have expected this... It would have been fine if they had stabbed the male lead, but they did it before the finale.

Who would have thought of this!

In short, it was impossible to guard against it, and everyone thought that Tatsumi would die together with the "Supreme Throne".

As a result, Tatsumi burned his soul and actually defeated the "Supreme Throne" controlled by the little emperor.

But just when everyone thought that the male protagonist had survived, he ended up dying of exhaustion while trying to protect civilians and stop the "Supreme Throne" from colliding.

This... is totally unexpected!
