“You should know that most of the agents are no match for you. That’s why few of us dared to attack you after we arrived. Almost everyone was watching and waiting. But Collint is really special. You know, before his first attack on you, he single-handedly killed a group of four!”

Lin Yu frowned: "Wait a minute, you're saying he killed four agents before attacking me?"

Vigus nodded: "Surprised? That's his habit. He never reveals all his cards. Even though he had four Agent Corpse Puppets, he only used two of them to attack you. Just like this time, even though he still had double digits of Agent Corpse Puppets, he didn't use them at all and chose to retreat instead."

"You seem to know very well."

Esdeath gave Vigus a meaningful look, while the latter remained calm and said directly, "My ability is more inclined towards concealment, and I happened to be present in both of these battles."

"Tsk tsk, we really wouldn't have noticed if you hadn't popped up here yourself."

Beneath Lin Yu's casual exterior, his gaze had already turned serious. Regardless of whether Collint was really as dangerous as Vigus said, the young lady in front of him who claimed to prefer hiding herself was definitely not simple!

Given this hidden ability, Lin Yu had to be wary of this young lady. If she suddenly appeared and reaped the benefits when he was exhausted from fighting, it wouldn't be fun. It's like playing a game where you finally defeat the BOSS and only have a sliver of health left. If a hidden BOSS suddenly appears at this time, you'll be left with nothing but tears.

"If my strength and ability to conceal myself were proportional, I should have shown myself during the first attack, right? Why would I have waited until now?"

Vigus shrugged, indicating that he was indeed no threat. Lin Yu and Esdeath did not delve into the matter and simply nodded in agreement.

There's no point in questioning Vigus's abilities now, and neither of them will let their guard down so easily. The immediate priority is to deduce from Vigus's words whether Collint is really as threatening as she claims.

Lin Yu even had some doubts: could this Vigus in front of him be one of the agents killed and controlled by Collint? You know, given Collint's intelligence, Lin Yu wouldn't be surprised if it were the real Collint. That guy always uses his brain rather than his hands, so he wouldn't be surprised at all if he set a trap here.

"Based on my understanding of Collint, the reason he didn't take action this time is actually quite simple."

Vigus herself knew very well that the two of them did not really believe her, but that did not stop her from continuing.

“Colint is too cautious. Judging from his previous actions, he was probably preparing to test the new corpse puppet’s abilities beforehand, but he ran into General Esdeath. For him, General Esdeath was probably the best candidate for the experiment, but he never expected that his own body would be found by you.”

Lin Yu nodded. It was indeed an accident that he discovered Collint's whereabouts this time.

"He is used to hiding in the shadows and controlling the overall situation. He rarely takes the initiative to attack. For him, the fact that his main body has been found is an absolutely intolerable failure. So in the battle, he was just deliberately showing weakness. In fact, he had already planned to retreat."

It's hard to say whether Vigus's words are true or false. If the loss of a powerful Gozchi was just for testing purposes, wouldn't it be a huge loss for Collint?

298. Join forces?

“This time, Collint has suffered such a big setback, and he will soon be back with a vengeance. But you should know his abilities. Even if we have the upper hand in terms of strength, he can easily escape with his teleportation ability. So whether we cooperate or not is up to you.”

After finishing his sentence, Vigus looked at the two of them with a smile, seemingly having no intention of continuing.

There are many flaws in her words, and they cannot be verified. But no matter what, one thing is true: Lin Yu and Esdeath really have no way to deal with Collint!

Collint is very strong, and according to Vigus, he still has many trump cards up his sleeve. Therefore, it is impossible to overwhelm him with sheer power.

Just as Vigus said, even though Lin Yu and Esdeath were stronger, he could leave at any time, and the two of them couldn't do anything about him.

"You mentioned cooperation, but how exactly would that be done? I think you understand our position, right?"

There is absolutely no possibility of coexistence between our positions!

The two suppressing forces and the gods are mortal enemies. As the god's representative, no matter how powerful Vigus is, she cannot defy the gods. She has no other option but to fight Lin Yu to the death. Therefore, her talk of cooperation is worth pondering.

"Of course I understand."

Vigus smiled slightly. Lin Yu's answer had already shown his willingness to cooperate. As for whether it would be successful, that would depend on what she said next.

"This cooperation is only aimed at Collint, who is a major enemy on both sides. He no longer belongs to either camp. Apart from you, his ultimate target, he probably sees all the other agents as prey."

Every time Colint is mentioned, Vigus's expression becomes very serious. If this isn't acting, it's enough to show how much she values ​​Colint.

"If my guess is correct, he probably wants to turn all the agents into his pawns, and it's probably for the sake of the last two!"

Lin Yu and Esdeath's gazes sharpened. The last two were such vague definitions that most people would be completely baffled, but Lin Yu and Esdeath knew exactly who she was referring to.

"Are those two among the agents who possess strength surpassing the others?"

The agents arrive in this world in a specific order; the weaker they are, the earlier they arrive, and vice versa.

The agents Lin Yu has encountered so far all possess extremely strong abilities. The more agents he encounters, the more uneasy he becomes, because in Gaia's instructions, the last two are completely different from the other agents. Either one of them could crush any other agent!

Of course, having been in this world for so long, he also knew very well that strength could not be simply determined by the order in which they arrived. Collint was an agent who arrived several years ago, but he was now strong enough to force an agent like Vigus to seek an alliance with Lin Yu, an enemy.

"They are very strong. To put it bluntly, even if Collint used all his trump cards, he wouldn't be a match for them!"

The agents are not a monolithic group. Vigus has no problem revealing information about his 'companions,' but whether it's true or not is another matter.

"But why does Collint have to be an enemy of those two Agents? To put it bluntly, shouldn't I be the target of all you Agents?"

Lin Yu was very self-aware. As the ultimate goal of the agents, he was happy to watch the infighting among them, but he couldn't let himself be used as a pawn. He was waiting to see the agents kill each other!

"Of course it's you."

Vigus was not reserved at all and spoke her mind directly. It was unclear what gave her such confidence to speak so freely in front of Lin Yu and Esdeath. After chatting for so long, Esdeath's power had recovered to about 70-80%. If the two wanted to keep her here, it wouldn't be unreasonable.

“Every Agent wants to kill you, that’s for sure. If I said I had no hostility towards you, you probably wouldn’t believe me. The reason I came here to find you is simple: with Collint’s strength, only you can match him, and only I can stop his teleportation. Otherwise, if Collint continues to grow stronger, the threat he poses to you will probably increase significantly.”

Lin Yu remained silent for a moment. Collint's current actions were tantamount to 'uniting' all the agents into the form of corpse puppets. Originally, he could let the agents restrain and kill each other, but now that they had all become corpse puppets, they would naturally unite against Lin Yu, his enemy.

It was precisely because Vigus knew this that she appeared here; she was certain that Lin Yu wouldn't attack her at this time!

"So when do we make our move?"

Lin Yu exchanged a barely perceptible glance with Esdeath, who hadn't offered much of an opinion from beginning to end.

"I'll begin once I find Collint's location."

Vigus's eyes lit up slightly, and the smile on her lips became even sweeter.

"Okay then, contact us again when you find it."

Lin Yu waved his hand, as if to say "take it easy and don't bother seeing me off." Vigus gently lifted the hem of her skirt, gracefully bent her knees, and then her beautiful figure disappeared in front of Lin Yu and Esdeath.

"Mahāprabhāṣṭa!"

An icy blue aura suddenly emanated from Esdeath, and this ultimate technique, capable of freezing even time and space, plunged the world into silence.

"Is he really gone?"

Because of the previous fierce battle, this place had long been razed to the ground. Apart from the ice crystals on the ground, there was no obstruction to the view. For Esdeath, Mochapotmo was not just a special move to freeze time and space. More importantly, she had an illusion that she could control almost everything in this frozen time and space. She only mastered this special derivative ability after the battle with Gozchi. She just did not expect to use it so soon.

This special ability could be considered a deadly move, but Esdeath used it as a reconnaissance technique to confirm whether Vigus was still hiding in the shadows.

When time and space are thawed, Mahapajapati Gotami can only freeze time and space for a few seconds.

Why should you agree?

Now that it has been confirmed that there is no third person present, some things can be said.

"You can't believe everything she says, but you can't completely disbelieve her either. At least she's right about one thing: Collint is indeed a major threat!"

A cunning enemy is not scary; what is scary is an enemy that also possesses great power!

299. The enemy!

"So, should we verify the information about how these people are suffering because of corruption?"

In Oberg's secret base, Akame and Kurome, their bodies unrestrained, were surrounded by piles of documents. These documents were facts that Mela had specially collected and organized. In order to use the two sisters in front of her, Mela would certainly not fabricate facts.

Who can blame them when this empire is truly like this? There's no need to fake it.

"No need to verify anymore!" Kuroko threw the documents in her hand aside first: "I don't believe that an empire with my brother around would be like this!"

Kurohime's reaction was completely unsurprising. Mela simply shrugged and looked at Akame. Compared to her stubborn younger sister, she preferred to break down Akame's defenses and let Akame influence Kurohime's thoughts.

"Black Eyes trusts Lin Yu far too much."

Her brows furrowed tightly. Akame knew perfectly well the authenticity of this information; the few days she'd been taken away by Mela were enough to prove everything. She didn't believe Kurome would be completely unaffected, but…

"Rather than not believing in the authenticity of these materials, Black Eyes probably didn't care at all. Whether they're true or false, as long as Lin Yu is still in this empire, I'm afraid..."

Akame is a very opinionated girl. She has her own thoughts and never looks at things according to other people's ideas. Even the Empire's brainwashing had no effect on her. After seeing the dark side of the Empire, Akame had long harbored thoughts of rebellion, but...

“Even if the Empire has a dark side, Oberg is not exactly clean either.”

She glanced at Mela beside her without leaving a trace. These days, Mela had been instilling in her the idea that the Empire was evil, but in Akame's eyes, wasn't Oberg just as bad as the Empire?

"Having studied a great deal of information and witnessed the current state of the town firsthand, you should now have a comprehensive understanding of the truth about this world, right?"

Mela was well aware of Akame's thoughts. For her, a plan had to be completed step by step. If she couldn't even take the first step, she would never achieve her goal. Akame's opinion of Oberg could be changed later, but if she still stood on the side of the Empire, then Mela would have no choice but to destroy her.

"I've read all the information, but I still can't make a decision."

She had already made her own decision, but it was something she could never tell Mela, or even her beloved younger sister, Kurohime!

"..."

Kuroko glanced at Akame silently. From her sister's eyes, Akame could see Kuroko's meaning: she would never betray the empire!

It's impossible, at least until Lin Yu changes sides!

Akame is now actually hoping that she can't understand Kurome's gaze, at least she won't have such a headache. Kurome's personality is completely stubborn, and once she's made up her mind, even her older sister can't change it.

"Well, it's fine to decide a little later, but before that..."

Mela licked her lips and approached Akame with a seductive look. Akame frowned but did not choose to back away.

"Let me teach you how to date properly first!"

A hand supported the back of Akame's head, and before Akame could react, Mela's exquisite face rapidly magnified in her eyes. Finally, their lips pressed tightly together!

A kiss! A kiss just like any other between lovers!

Akame, who reacted quickly, was about to retaliate when she felt a slight pain on the back of her hand. Mela had scratched her skin with her sharp nails, and crimson blood seeped from under her tender white skin. At the same time, all the strength in her body disappeared without a trace.

"elder sister!"

Seeing her sister being 'attacked', Kuroto immediately stood up, but the next second she felt her legs go weak. A tiny butterfly was hovering above her head, and the barely perceptible powder was spreading in the air with the flapping of its wings, which Kuroto did not even notice.

"Relax."

Releasing Akame's lips, Mela looked at the girl in front of her with flushed cheeks and felt her body heat up.

"See, doesn't this feel pretty good?"

She stuck out her pink tongue and licked Akame's cheek as if she were enjoying a delicious meal. Kurome, who was completely exhausted, forced herself to open her eyes wide and stared at the 'incomprehensible' scene in front of her, which seemed somewhat familiar.

As for Akame herself, the poor girl's mind had gone completely blank. Her chaotic thoughts started to doodle and draw in her blank mind like random scribbles, confusing herself completely.

"Don't come again!"

Akame was panting heavily as she pushed Mela away. After being poisoned by Mela, Akame's strength was surprisingly weak, and she shouldn't have been able to push Mela away. However, for Mela, it was a case of being too hasty. Who knew what might happen if she was pushed too hard? It would be one thing if she fought Mela, but it would be another if she committed suicide.

"You guys get some rest first, I'll be waiting for your answers!"

Mela blew a kiss to the two sisters and left the room, leaving the two sisters with different expressions. Poor Akame's eyes had turned gray, and she looked as if her soul had left her body, completely lost and dejected.

“Whether they are good or bad, as long as they can afford the price, Oberg will accept the commission. Sister, I don’t think such an organization is any different from the Empire.”
