Chapter 298 General, the price of usurping power is not low

"Everyone, salute!"

Just as Fang Yi was walking at a leisurely pace, admiring the [Supreme Emperor's Gear] beside the palace, which had been beaten by him to the point of [irreparable] [defect], and thinking about the "surprise" prepared by the female general in the palace.

Along with a fanatical and passionate slogan came the sound of uniform shoe soles rubbing against the brick and stone floor.

Fang Yi turned his head and saw that several of his "personal soldiers" who were developed from the Royal Guards and assigned to the exit of the palace to prevent others from entering were saluting him under Will's instructions.

These soldiers were all instigated by his words, bribed with silver coins, and then witnessed his "miracle" of shattering the [Supreme Emperor's Weapon] with a "single punch".

After this set of processes, it can be said that this person has become the "backbone" for further controlling the army in the future and a powerful executor for controlling the imperial capital.

Fang Yi was about to respond to appease these "key members", but he didn't expect that this act of saluting would become "contagious" like a virus.

The citizens not far away and some of the surviving guards who were being reorganized by Liva, the deputy guards, saw the actions of these soldiers and saluted Fang Yi according to the script to express their gratitude for Fang Yi's feat that was difficult to describe in words.

Although these people have different identities, their salute postures are not standard and even a little funny.

But Fang Yi could clearly see a kind of fanaticism on all the faces, an emotion that had gone beyond "personal worship" and developed towards worship of religious gods.

It seems my previous estimate of support for "Smooth Enforcement of Government Orders" was a bit conservative.

Anyone who opposes my orders now will probably not survive the next night even if I don't take action.

[Once my soldiers have completely devoured the Imperial Capital, I'll be looking forward to the reward settlement for my quests for [First Napkin I] and [Destroy the Supreme Imperial Weapon].]

Although he didn't appreciate such fanatical people, Fang Yi still kept a straight face, nodded slightly to his soldiers and the surrounding residents, and then showed a standard smile.

There is no need to say anything at this time, just smile and let these people imagine.

They will weave for themselves what they want to believe.

Then I manually blocked [Character xx's friendship increased to xx], [Faction support increased to xx], [Because your forces cleared xx, you gained faction contribution xx]

It's like posting a stupid fishing post on the forum and getting a lot of replies, which can be called an overwhelming amount of "spam".

After passing through several palaces that were either magnificent or had turned into ruins, Fang Yi turned his gaze to the imperial palace surrounded by high walls made of ice.

It seemed that the female general had sealed the entire palace with ice, turning it into a besieged city, leaving only one entrance for herself.

After looking at this 'besieged city' for a while, Fang Yi tilted his head and thought to himself.

[Is this a trap? ]

[Or do you want to eat people? ]

Then, the man rubbed his hands and walked into this "besieged city" with anticipation.

As the man walked in, the only entrance to this 'besieged city' was instantly closed.
-
After entering the palace, Fang Yi heard two roars.

He raised his head slightly and saw the female general sitting at the end of the spacious palace, sitting on the throne with her legs crossed and her arms folded across her chest, looking quite "impressive".

But after seeing the man come in, the female general could no longer maintain her "power".

Fang Yi only saw that the female general was deliberately showing off her strong and plump thighs.

When she crossed her arms over her chest, she held up a handful of her snow-white hair, and an unnatural blush appeared on her face.

[Well, it's hard to say whether this scene is some weird CG.]

Fang Yi raised his head again and found the source of the roar - the female general had bound the two "monsters" with vines woven from frost on the ceiling.

Fang Yi felt somewhat familiar with these two monsters.

Judging from the remaining red stripes on its body and the ghostly yet turbid aura emanating from it, it should be Ji, one of the Four Rakshasa Ghosts.

As for the other monster, its body shape betrayed its identity.

It was the late General Budd.

[Is this the monster transformed by the [Minister]? Was Ji stabbed in the back by the [Minister]?]

[However, why are these two so much weaker than the 'Zhu Tian' I saw? ]

Is it because there is no 'adjustment'?

Before Fang Yi finished analyzing the current situation, he expressed his doubts to the female general.

The female general took the initiative to walk down from the throne, and her boots made a clanging sound in the empty and cold palace.

She walked up to the man with a full heart, and then pointed at the two monsters on the ceiling as if offering treasures, answering the man's doubts.

“This is my first gift to you.

“I really enjoy ‘The Hunt’.

"And now, I want to share my hunted 'prey' with you!"

Looking at the man who had come to his senses and realized something, the female general instantly slid to his side.

After the 'ball-rushing' incident, she hugged the man's hand and pointed at the monster on the ceiling.

"I think these two monsters are quite strong, and you can get some benefits from the space after killing them, so I deliberately left them here.

"How is it? Are you satisfied?
"Take it if you're satisfied!"
-
Looking at the expectant female general, Fang Yi had to conceal some facts in order not to spoil her interest.

All he did was simply swing his fist, crushing the two struggling monsters into powder, and then responded to the female general.

"Of course I'm satisfied!"

A somewhat shabby reminder sound also rang in my ears.

[You killed an unknown monster. Based on your combat contribution, you receive 3000 points and 1 B-level plot point.]

Points and plot points in the reincarnation space are awarded according to combat contributions.

And I only had to throw one punch and was able to get so many points with almost no effort.

This was already given by the space in consideration of his contributions to [command], [planning], and [defeating the Supreme Emperor's weapon on the front battlefield].

After all, according to the rules figured out in the novice mission to kill Kabane.

When the power gap between a certain monster and a reincarnator reaches a certain level or a certain number of them are killed, no more points will be gained by killing them.

It seems that this is to prevent some powerful reincarnations who lack virtue from snatching monsters from weak reincarnations.

After destroying the alchemical monster on the [Supreme Imperial Artifact], Fang Yi no longer earned many points for killing ordinary alchemical monsters.

This is also the reason why Fang Yi distributed some of the alchemical monsters to other reincarnations and the army to clean up the monsters, and then he sat back and collected dividends and improved his reputation.

But Fang Yi was not going to let the female general know this somewhat disappointing fact.

He just said 'lie' again.

"General, thank you for your hard work in the battle.

"A large part of the 'glory' I have received is brought by you, who are indispensable.

"Without your [Secret Technique], I would be like a helpless 'wooden stake'.

"I can't create the 'miracle' of smashing the Supreme Imperial Weapon with one punch after a 'fight', I can..."

Before Fang Yi could continue to "lie", the female general put her finger to the man's lips, stopping him from speaking.

"You really like to say cunning things that I like to hear.

"If it were any other day, I would have been willing to listen to you, but I have something serious to discuss with you that's a little awkward."

Hearing the word "business", Fang Yi immediately stopped his "lies" and made a listening gesture towards the female general.

Fang Yi has realized that if the female general completes the mission, she may need to share some of the "glory" she has just obtained.

At the same time, these requirements may be related to [World Special Permissions].

As expected, after the female general saw Fang Yi regain his composure, she looked into the man's eyes and expressed her desire.

"I'm different from you. I don't have a mission to return. After the space decides to keep this world, I will be the 'manager' who will reside in this world permanently.

“Only after completing all the [Punishment Missions] and officially becoming a Reincarnator will I have the authority to proceed to the next mission and enter the [Real World].

"The Lord God has changed my mission requirements. I need to reach the level of [Minister] within the empire and initially expel the foreign races from the area surrounding the imperial capital.

"so."
-
Looking at the female general who was unusually shy, Fang Yi had already heard the other party's subtext.

[You're asking me for power and troops, and are almost usurping power.]

[But I don't care about this kind of power. Besides, this is what I promised her before. As long as her price is right and her attitude is good, I don't mind giving it to her.]

Just as Fang Yi was thinking about how to respond to the female general, the prompt sound of the reincarnation space rang in his ears.

[Respected Reincarnation No. g12781.]

Samsara Space now provides you with the following explanation regarding [Special World Permissions]:
Your achievements and accomplishments in this mission are unmatched, and you have made outstanding contributions to space.

Therefore, you meet the requirements to become the 'Manager' of this world.

However, due to unknown reasons, the maximum permission you can obtain is [World Special Permission].

If you are willing to transfer some of your power to 'Administrator' Esdeath, you will receive the following compensation:

1. You do not need to pay for the two followers you bring in this time, and you do not need to pay for subsequent maintenance.

2. You will receive additional benefits when this task is settled.

3. Your first [Attribute Breakthrough Mission] will receive more preferential treatment.
-
Fang Yi glanced at the compensation given by the reincarnation space and thought to himself.

[I'm worried about the faction contribution points I have to pay to bring followers, which is quite high. It conflicts with the contribution points required for [World Special Permissions]. Basically, I can only choose one of the two.]

【Space is here to solve the problem. 】

[For the sake of compensation, we will give you this favor.]

He pondered it for a moment and immediately understood the [unknown reason] that the space was unwilling to reveal.

The Samsara Realm and the God Realm had probably reached a filthy 'spoils-sharing' agreement. The reputation and power he had gained were crucial bargaining chips, capable of generating significant gains for the Realm.

That's why he proposed to me to transfer power to the female general and give me compensation.

This mission was originally the main venue of the main god space. If I had not interfered, the outcome of this mission would probably be [The lingering survival of the Millennium Empire], instead of the current [Bloody Coup·Defense of the Imperial Capital].

The reincarnation space originally belongs to the position of "no loss if you lose, huge profit if you win". If you can get a share of the pie by yourself, it can be said that you have exceeded the goal, so naturally you should stop while you are ahead.
And now, according to the news just passed on by "Madame" and Kohler, most of the reincarnations in the reincarnation space and the vast majority of the reincarnations of the main gods have died in the first wave of attacks of the [Supreme Imperial Equipment].

Among those [Alchemists] who were undergoing the [Secondary Occupation Assessment], Ma Han was the only one left.

Before Fang Yi left, the other party said that his assessment would be terminated, but his return time would be a little later than others.

Therefore, he asked Fang Yi to come to him before sunset today, and he would give some rewards related to [Alchemy] that Fang Yi might accept.

However, with the death of the [Minister], almost all the high-ranking ministers of the empire were wiped out, Bud died, the revolutionary army occupied the land and became corrupt at a rapid speed, and many quest lines could not be advanced.

In the eyes of both spaces, this mission is coming to an end and entering the settlement stage.

Looking at the countdown to his return appearing on the panel, after accepting the 'red envelope' from the reincarnation space, Fang Yi, who had already lacked interest in power and managing the country, quickly made a promise to the female general.

“No need to say so much. I will pay the points to delay my return by one day, and after the public trial of the [Minister] tomorrow, I will officially grant you the power.

"As my deputy in the coup, with the blessing of the [Boxin Oath], those soldiers will also have a good degree of trust in you.

"When I have time, I will occasionally use my [World Special Permissions] to show my support for you.

"You have the Ice Knight and these crew members. I'll also give you some combat power. With your combat power, completing the mission should only require a little extra effort. I should be able to see you in the real world soon."

He became embarrassed, which was rare. After hearing his own proposal, he lowered his head and whispered, "Of course you are still the boss, and you will always be as long as you come back," and other words like those of a political novice.

Fang Yi waved his hand to end the tug-of-war.

“I have no interest in being the king of this world and ruling the country according to my own will.

"Too much trouble."

For him, having the right to sit back and collect dividends with [World Special Authority] and being a hands-off boss is a more ideal choice.
-
【World Special Permissions】

Reincarnations with this permission can obtain the following benefits based on their world rating:

Reincarnation benefits:
1. Every certain natural day of [present world], the reincarnator can automatically obtain a certain amount of merit.

2. Every certain natural day of [manifestation], the reincarnator can obtain a certain amount of materials and skill scrolls that can be produced in this world for free, and can exchange a certain amount of materials and skill scrolls at a preferential price.

3. When the reincarnationist can enter the space, he can choose to enter this world, but he cannot obtain items exceeding a certain value.
-
Follower benefits:
1. The reincarnationist holding this authority can send his followers to the world for a period of time at regular intervals to help transform the world and gain benefits.

After the follower completes certain low-risk tasks in the world and makes contributions, the reincarnationist can be exempted from paying maintenance points for the follower, allowing the reincarnationist to gain additional merits and obtain benefits that can only be used by the follower.

The benefits that followers can obtain for their own use only include but are not limited to points, skill scrolls, free attribute points, and [space enhancement quota].

2. Followers can enter this world and earn extra [Space Contribution] for themselves in ways other than following the Reincarnator to complete tasks.

Special Note:

For followers belonging to the reincarnation space, if they do not obtain [Space Contribution] for a long time, the [Space Strengthening Amount] will be increased.

After a follower's [Space Enhancement Quota] is exhausted, the follower will no longer be able to consume points or plot points to continue improving their abilities.

Followers can obtain [Space Contribution] in ways that include but are not limited to task settlement rating rewards, completing space tasks, creating skills, improving technology, inventing, producing, and commanding.

Reincarnators can continue to improve their abilities by consuming merits for redemption, using the Reincarnator World Settlement Reward Option, and other means to obtain [Space Contribution] for their followers.
-
It is obvious that after the mission is completed, how the world will be managed and arranged will basically be decided by the two spaces, and the spaces will also issue tasks to guide and transform the world.

At the same time, it also indirectly verifies that after the space has "set" the world, it is restricted by certain "rules" and cannot flatten or round the world, but can only guide some people to transform the world through "tasks".

Fang Yi, who has obtained the authority, only needs to be a hands-off boss and collect dividends on a daily basis.

Of course, you can also throw in your own people as followers to make the space arrange some easy work. After completing the task of following the female general, you can choose to get some benefits from the permanent "manager" in this world.

Fang Yi thought about his 'teammates' and started to plan.

[Hmm, I think it's time to ask Miss Ganlu Temple to work part-time occasionally.]

[Akagome and Kuroyori can come when they are free.]

[It seems my case of 'smuggling' contraband between the two dimensions has been resolved.]

After Fang Yi had experimented with it, he discovered that the Lord God had also granted him this authority, but with fewer restrictions on followers and greater benefits.

So we decided to find something for these women to do to prevent them from fighting for no reason.

After he collects followers and summons them, he can temporarily borrow the talents and skills of his followers.

These are his "powers", which can be cultivated (for free) through this [authority].

At the same time, some restrictions on [Followers] in the reincarnation space also made Fang Yi feel more and more how lucky and precious the qualification of a reincarnationist he had obtained in exchange for the [Finger of Two-Men Sukuna] he had previously submitted was.

[The samsara realm doesn't seem to be very welcoming to people from the [non-human world]."

[The permissions granted to followers are also very limited, completely different from those granted to reincarnators like me.]

[This reincarnation space probably has some extraordinary features that I'm unaware of, which is why it's so arrogant.]

After making up his mind, Fang Yi immediately told the female general in brief words that she needed to take care of her "female team members".
-
I heard the man start to tell me about several female team members of the other team who needed my care.

The female general was stunned at first, and a feeling of sourness rose in her heart.

[It was obviously me who came here first]

[Ah, no, I came later! ]

After realizing that she had lost her advantage, the female general immediately prepared to implement the bold "plan" she had previously thought of.

The female general pulled the man and signaled Fang Yi to follow her.

After a few seconds, the female general gestured for the other party to sit on the throne that only the emperor could sit on, and then she slowly knelt on the carpet facing Fang Yi and said this.

“This second and final gift I want to give you is a little special.

"Its name is [Conquer]."

The female general kneeling on the carpet first placed her general's cap on the carpet a little further away from herself and closer to Fang Yi, and then added softly.

"I will always remember how my power came to me, and I will continue your will and maintain the great cause you have established.

"But I still need you to give me some 'branding' to deepen my memory.

"It is said that the prostrating posture of 'doxiaza' best expresses a person's willingness to be conquered and dominated by a superior.

"I'm going to do the same, but my 'Dogeza' will be more sincere."

The female general then unbuttoned her coat, folded it neatly and placed it under her hat, forming the upper body of the "man in the hat" on the carpet.

Then he took off his boots and placed them in front of himself, forming the feet of the "man in the hat".

He then took off the stockings and the last piece of underwear covering his belly from his strong and powerful long legs, and placed them on the carpet so that they formed the legs and waist of the 'man in the hat'.

After completing all this and taking off all useless clothes, the female general made a "get down from your seat" gesture and prostrated herself to Fang Yi on the throne, inviting him.

“This is my sincerity in showing you through ‘Dogeza’.

"Your current deputy, formerly a general of the empire, is now ready to accept your power and pledge his loyalty to you.

"Will you accept my 'loyalty', which requires some 'willpower' to swallow?"
-
Looking at the female general lying on the carpet, she was ready and willing to be dominated and "driven" by him.

Fang Yi walked down from the throne, first looked at every aspect of the female general from front to back, played with the female general, and personally evaluated the female general's physical attributes.

Then he walked in front of the female general, hooked his hand, and lifted up the female general's elegant face, which was as cold as winter in front of others but had a blush in front of him, and commented.

"I am very satisfied with the weight and sincerity of your loyalty."

Before Fang Yi finished his evaluation, the female general, with a look of intoxication in her eyes, tilted her head and broke free from the support of Fang Yi's hand.

He gave Fang Yi a provocative look.

"It's not a good habit to talk nonsense. When evaluating a person's loyalty, you can't just look at the surface, but you have to analyze and explore it in depth.

"You, aren't you coming?

"The soldiers here are far away, and with the ice as a siege, you can be rough."

Before the female general could finish her words, Fang Yi reached out with both hands, picked up the female general, and placed her on the spacious throne.

Then he separated the female general little by little and whispered teasingly.

"You have also seen that the power I wield in the imperial capital is unmatched.

"Are you sure your loyalty can bear this power?
“That’s right.”

The female general put her arms around the man's waist and back to prevent the power from escaping, and then gave her response.

“You have to give it a try.

"I will try to make you satisfied with the price you pay for my 'usurpation of power.'"
-
Half an hour before sunset.

Ma Han, who was already getting a little impatient while sitting in the [Imperial Weapon Recasting Workshop], finally caught a glimpse of Fang Yi who had just handed over the power while whistling.

[It seems that he has been entangled in trivial matters, but some good things have happened to him. ]

[That's true. After all, he's a powerful figure who controls the empire, and everyone wants to curry favor with him.]

Perhaps I could give him some of the better alchemy skill scrolls I crafted as a reward for indirectly protecting me under the Supreme Imperial Artifact.

Mahan thought so.

　After thinking it over again and again, I still feel that some things cannot be shrunk.

　　Tomorrow's update will return to normal time.

　　Tomorrow's chapter will tell you about the ending of Aka-chan.

　　The next chapter will be the Moon Volume.
