Black Eyes is devoted to the Empire, but that doesn't mean she's unaware of anything. Aside from Lin Yu being a member of the Empire, Oberg's true nature is no better than the Empire's.

"Yes, I understand."

Akame gazed at her younger sister and nodded, but had different thoughts in her heart.

“I am not like Oberg! I only want to kill the villains who destroy the happiness of the people, and I will never accept a villain’s commission. This is a belief that I will never change!”

If Akame, previously unaware of the Empire's true state, could still operate in the shadows as a member of the assassination squad, this experience has solidified her resolve. This corrupt empire is not one she wants to protect, and Oberg will not be her home. She has made her decision, but…

"What should we do about Hei Tong? Given her obsession with Lin Yu..."

Clenching her teeth, Akame had to make her decision in the face of her ideals, beliefs, and her beloved younger sister. She knew very well that if she made the decision to betray the empire, she would become the enemy of her sister and that person!

300. When gods fight, mortals suffer.

"Your plans must have been completely disrupted, right?"

Walking side by side on the land covered by ice crystals, Lin Yu and Esdeath walked together. Now that Shana was not by their side, besides Tina, Esdeath was the only person who knew the truth. Moreover, with Esdeath's intelligence, she was able to consider some issues that Lin Yu had not thought of.

"It's been disrupted. I originally thought that we would be attacked by a large number of agents before those two agents with absolute power arrived, but I didn't expect it to develop into this situation."

If the other agents want him dead, they will have to act before absolute power descends upon this world, so it's only a matter of time before the agents join forces.

But now, if Vigus is right, then Collint already possesses the power of most of the Agents, which is a completely different concept from the Agents organizing their own attacks.

First of all, if the Agents were to join forces, their common target would only be Lin Yu. Obviously, even if they joined forces, it would likely end up as a chaotic battle. But now it's completely different. A large number of Agents have been killed by Colint and transformed into corpse puppets. These corpse puppets, which possess all the power they had in life, will launch suicidal attacks on Lin Yu without any pause. Just thinking about having to face multiple Agents makes Lin Yu's head spin.

"It's hard to say whether what Vigus said is true or false, but judging from Collint's personality, it's not impossible. We definitely need to take necessary precautions."

Lin Yu could sense that Esdeath beside him had become excited. For this battle maniac, nothing was more exciting than a fierce battle.

This can be seen from the ground beneath their feet. Lin Yu didn't believe that the battle with Gozqi needed to cause such a commotion. She was only facing one enemy, not an entire army!

Whether others believe it or not, Lin Yu certainly doesn't believe that Esdeath can't control her power. If that's the case, there's only one possibility for the current situation: this sadistic general got too excited during the battle!

"We can't wait any longer about Corinth. We can't completely trust what Vigus says, and we can't put all our hopes on the enemy. It seems we need to use the power of the Black Flame to investigate."

As soon as Lin Yu finished speaking, Esdeath stopped in her tracks.

"Your ability isn't something you can use casually, is it? Won't it be a problem to use it like this as a reconnaissance skill?"

Esdeath was incredibly wise. Over the years, she had long since seen through the flaws of the Black Flame, and her scrutinizing eyes were fixed on Lin Yu.

"Don't worry, the power of the black flames does have some effect on me, but not too much. In the current situation, we can't afford to hold back any longer."

The side effects of the Black Flame have always existed. It subtly changes Lin Yu's mind, which is extremely fatal. Lin Yu is very aware of this drawback, which is why he tries not to use the power of the Black Flame. But as he himself said, now is not the time to worry about such a small side effect. If he cannot figure out the situation in time, then what awaits him is only utter destruction!

"It's good that you understand."

Esdeath nodded. She believed that Lin Yu was not someone who didn't know his place, so a simple reminder would be enough.

"It's a bit early to talk about these things now. We need to deal with the immediate problems first."

The matter of the proxy can be put aside for now. There's no use in being anxious now. We must wait for the right opportunity to get rid of Collint, this major threat. Even if he uses Black Flame's perception ability to find him now, he still can't do anything about Collint. For now, we can only trust Vigus.

"Trouble? Did you run into some kind of trouble here?"

Esdeath narrowed her eyes slightly. She knew very well that the person in front of her was in no way inferior to herself in any aspect, and she was really curious about what could have stumped Lin Yu.

"Ahem, it's nothing, just a minor problem, I can handle it myself."

Lin Yu blushed. He couldn't possibly admit that he had witnessed a live sex show and was too embarrassed to appear in front of Mela, could he?

If that were the case, Lin Yu believed that this sadistic queen in front of him would definitely tear him apart.

"I see."

A slight upturn at the corners of his mouth revealed a sinister unease in Lin Yu's heart. This queen was clearly showing some interest, which was not a good sign.

"Let's go find those little guys in the assassination squad first; we have plenty of time to learn about them slowly."

Without giving Lin Yu a chance to speak, Esdeath directly blocked Lin Yu's plan to let her leave. Given the queen's strong personality, if Lin Yu said no, it would only have the opposite effect.

Lin Yu's lips twitched twice. He could only pray in his heart that Esdeath wouldn't meet with Mela. If things were exposed, he would be in big trouble!

In the distance of the battlefield, the members of the selection team looked at the place they had run through with expressions of relief.

"My God, is this just the aftermath of the battle? Is General Esdeath some kind of monster?"

Bonnie patted her thin chest with lingering fear, seemingly a habitual gesture of hers. Heaven knows if her flat chest at such a young age was caused by this little habit.

"Is this the Empire's strongest power? It's terrifying!"

Tsukushi patted her chest as well, but the result of this well-developed girl making the same move was completely different. Her breasts were incredibly voluptuous. When she was attacked, Tsukushi ran out wearing only a bath towel, which attracted Lin Yu's attention for a long time. The cleavage in her chest was unfathomably deep!

Fortunately, most of the male comrades' attention is now drawn to the battlefield swept by the aftershocks, otherwise the thin-skinned Tsukushi would have attracted the attention of several groups of people.

"Oh, looks like you're all alright."

A familiar voice came from the sky, and Nahashu quickly and warily raised his head. In contrast, Cornelia and Tsukushi looked in the direction from which the voice came with some surprise.

"Lord Lin Yu, there is also..."

"General Esdeath!"

In the sky, Lin Yu spread his ice-blue wings, while Esdeath also piloted the ice crystals and flew through the air.

The selection team members were quite familiar with Lin Yu, but they only felt awe towards Esdeath. They hadn't forgotten that just now they had barely managed to save their lives, all because of the aftershocks of the Empire's 'strongest' battle!

Of course, they didn't know that Lin Yu was the culprit of another battle. Heaven knows what tragic changes they went through when they finally thought they were safe, only to find that a battle of the same level broke out again in the direction they had fled. Life is always full of ups and downs. Who can blame them when gods fight and mortals suffer?

301. Different Paths

"Playing around is over. Gozchi has been confirmed dead. You should all return to the capital now."

Upon landing, Lin Yu had already rearranged his plans, as the original plans were no longer applicable as time passed.

"My father is dead? How could that be!"

Everyone in the selection team was raised by Gozchi and had a deep affection for him. Some of them might not be too superstitious about Gozchi's authority, but their feelings were genuine. After learning of Gozchi's death, even the usually calm Nahashu became agitated.

“That’s the truth, and I have no reason to lie to you. Go back. General Esdeath and I will personally handle the mission here.”

The most important thing now is to deal with Collint's matter; Lin Yu no longer has the patience to waste time on such trivial matters.

"But Akame and Kurome are still..."

"I'm responsible for the safety of Akame and Kurome!"

Before Tsukushi could finish speaking, Lin Yu interrupted her: "You should know the relationship between them and me. I will not let this go unchecked, so you can rest assured about that."

Still grieving over Gozchi's death, the only consolation was that Lin Yu would personally take action. Even the most oblivious Bonnie could see how much Lin Yu had cared for the Akame and Kurome sisters over the years. Since he said he would personally take action, there was nothing to worry about.

They still clearly remembered how terrifying the power Lin Yu had unleashed back in the tomb.

The selection team ultimately chose to leave. They wanted to stay, even if it was just to help out in small ways, but they had no choice in front of Lin Yu and Esdeath.

"Now it's time to cause trouble for Oberg."

Lin Yu muttered something under his breath, while Esdeath, standing beside him, raised her eyebrows slightly, and her expression seemed to become somewhat strange.

“Oberg…”

"you know?"

This was the first time Lin Yu had seen such a strange expression on Esdeath's face. It wasn't exactly disgust, nor was it any kind of liking; it seemed to have some hidden reason.

"It's nothing, just a small matter."

Esdeath glanced at Lin Yu, then glared at him with a hint of threat: "You should know their location, right? Take me there!"

When the Queen unleashes her power, there are very few people in the world who can withstand it. Although Lin Yu is one of those few, time is of the essence. If he angers the Queen, there will inevitably be another great battle. It's better to save his energy. Anyway, he will meet with Oberg's people soon, so it's not too late to watch the show then.

"Alright, alright, let's go then."

With a helpless shrug, Lin Yu spread his wings and flew away into the distance, with Esdeath following closely behind...

Have you thought it through?

At the Oberg camp, Mela leaned against the wall and asked Akame a question.

"Yes, of course!"

The sisters exchanged a glance and nodded firmly.

"That's good. If you haven't made up your mind after all this time, then it's not worth all this effort. Kuro-tomi, don't speak yet. Akame, tell us your decision."

After a brief glance at Kurome, Mela fixed her gaze on Akame.

The two sisters share many similarities in personality, yet also have many differences. The reason Mela silenced Kurohime was because asking would be pointless; the girl was far too infatuated with someone, making it virtually impossible for her to betray the empire where that person still existed.

The only sliver of possibility lies with the older sister, Akame!

"I, Akame, a member of the Imperial Assassination Squad's selection group, will point my sword at the enemy of the people!"

Akame's voice was firm and resolute, each word deliberate and unwavering, clearly indicating that she had made up her mind. However, her answer caused Kurome and Mela to frown.

"Sister, are you going to betray the empire?"

Hei Tong was neither blind nor stupid. Everything she had seen and heard along the way made her very clear about what the empire was like now. But none of that mattered to her. She only cared about her family. She didn't care what happened to the rest of the unrelated people.

To put it bluntly, Kuroko is just an ordinary little girl. She doesn't have the same lofty ambitions as her older sister, nor does she possess any noble qualities. She can be selfish, or even very selfish, because she only cares about her own family!

"If an empire is just an empire, then I think it is!"

An empire is just an empire, a country that has decayed beyond repair. Such an empire can no longer represent the people, who are the foundation of the empire. A country that cannot even represent its own foundation is no longer worth protecting.

"You've betrayed the Empire, but you probably don't intend to join us, Oberg, do you?"

Mela understood perfectly what Akame meant, and she knew even better that the Oberg Assassination Society was not a righteous ally.

As long as you can afford it, Oberg can become a sword in the hands of anyone or any organization!

An organization that only cares about money can't possibly be associated with justice.

"Would you believe me if I said I don't dislike you?"

Akame didn't answer Mela's question directly, but instead asked a question in return.

"meeting!"

To Akame's surprise, Mela readily agreed.

"I have a lot of confidence in my intuition and judgment. There is no hostility in your eyes when you look at me."

Mela's smile is truly beautiful, like a black rose, exuding a mysterious charm. In terms of personal charisma alone, among the people Akame knows, only Esdeath can compare to her, and even Lin Yu is far inferior.
