Yes, Bud had already made his decision. He would break with the ministers completely after the rebellion was quelled, even if it meant becoming enemies with Esdeath. He just didn't expect that Esdeath would choose to rebel against the empire!

"It seems you know me very well."

Bud's gaze lingered on Lin Yu for a moment. He didn't know much about this mysterious adjutant, but at least one thing was certain: Lin Yu's strength was definitely not weak!

The weak can never truly stand shoulder to shoulder with Esdeath, let alone change her deeply ingrained beliefs!

"I suppose so. You are a respectable opponent, but not a qualified general."

Lin Yu's assessment was very accurate; a qualified general would never be bound by convention.

"There's no point in saying all this now. Come on, kill me, or..."

His sharp, hawk-like gaze swept over everyone present.

"Kill me!"

[I really didn't want to say this, but the lack of updates lately has probably driven away most readers. Those who have stuck with it are mostly familiar faces. It's not that I'm too lazy to even guarantee one update a day; it's just that I'm so worried about my parents. They argue all the time. My dad is fine, but my mom comes to me to complain all the time. Every day I hear them arguing about trivial things. What should be a lighthearted writing style has become so frustrating that I can't write anymore. It just goes wrong. Yesterday, I went out drinking with some buddies to vent. This isn't an excuse for the slow update speed; there's no need to keep going like this for so long. I just couldn't take it anymore today, so I'm venting here. Finally, based on my experience, if your parents have any conflicts, don't expect them to resolve them themselves. You have to be firm with whoever needs to be, otherwise, the whole family will be in turmoil.]

326. Unexpected

War has no right or wrong. No matter what world it takes, the outbreak of war will always be accompanied by death and rivers of blood. This phenomenon may be relatively peaceful in the world of anime, but it will definitely not include the world of Akame ga Kill! which is full of blood and darkness!

Akame ga Kill! was an anime that left a deep impression on Lin Yu. It was very bloody and realistic. In this world, there was no such thing as the protagonist being immortal. Even the male protagonist, Tatsumi, died in the final battle to protect civilians. In the entire Night Raid, only the dying Najenda and the cursed Akame survived. In the end, this anime itself was interpreting a truth:

Revolutions always involve bloodshed.

This applies to both the Empire and the Revolutionary Army, without exception!

The revolutionary army sheds blood for the people, and the imperial army sheds blood to protect the empire. In this respect, there is no difference between the two sides; the key point is only the outcome.

At this moment, the imperial capital has been destroyed, the Imperial Guard has been almost completely wiped out, and the empire has reached the awkward situation where General Bud has to fight alone.

From the moment the Empire's ultimate weapon, the High Throne, failed to reverse the tide of war, Bud understood that this millennia-old empire had reached its end.

The fierce battle left Bud's armor covered in blood, both his own and his enemies'. Even in his dire condition, Bud still stood tall like a mountain. As a military commander, Bud was virtually flawless.

Unfortunately, he was born in this tragic era.

Bud died in the battle with Lin Yu.

Lin Yu's side possessed such formidable combat power that he alone could not withstand them, even though he was the strongest in the empire.

Lin Yu froze Bud's body with ice crystals, his face expressionless. Bud's death symbolized the collapse of the empire's last strength, and it could be said that the revolution had won.

"That's it? It's over?"

For many present, the victory of the revolution seemed almost unreal. Najenda, who had not had much expectation for the revolution, felt as if she were dreaming. The capital city had been destroyed before her very eyes, and General Bud, one of the two pillars of the empire, had shattered into countless ice crystals. All that remained for her was to capture the minister, the culprit, and that would be the end of it.

"Finish?"

Lin Yu looked up at the sky and smiled wryly.

"Perhaps."

For Najenda and the people of this empire, it may be the end, but for Lin Yu, it is just the beginning.

The real conflict in this world has not yet begun!

In the distance, the corpse puppets that had recently wreaked havoc in the capital were now standing in a specific formation in front of a huge black hole. Lin Yu immediately spotted the pink-haired girl dressed in a pure white demonic outfit, Chris!

"They arrived so quickly."

Gaia and Alaya granted Lin Yu the ability to sense the arrival of the proxy. Over the years, Lin Yu had been able to vaguely sense the time of the next arrival, but this time, he was wrong.

No, that's not entirely accurate. Perhaps it's more accurate to say it was brought forward?

What exactly happened?

The pressure from the divine power being absorbed into Lin Yu's body was decreasing, because the number of divine powers with masters within it was decreasing. The disappearance of each divine power mark meant the fall of at least one god, but Lin Yu felt no joy at all.

Lin Yu knew very well that if everything went smoothly, Gaia and Alaya would not allow these two agents to arrive so quickly; at the very least, they would give him time to digest the power of the unclaimed divine beings.

Without a doubt, the two powerful forces were absolutely able to know what had happened to Lin Yu, but they didn't give him that time. Clearly, the battle on another level was not going smoothly.

"let's go."

He exchanged an apologetic glance with Shana. He owed her so much. This petite girl had given up everything to help him, and after being apart for so long, they couldn't even spend some time alone together.

"Ok!"

Her usually solemn face now displayed a childlike smile, and her small palms clasped together with Lin Yu's, just like when the then-weak Lin Yu faced a powerful enemy with her.

Esdeath clearly didn't miss their subtle movements. She raised her long eyebrows slightly but didn't say anything. However, her gaze met Shana's for a moment, and they both understood each other's meaning from their eyes.

We'll discuss everything after the battle is over!

The two people, who had met for less than two hours, understood each other's meaning: the most urgent task was to fight their common enemy!

"Brother, is there something you're hiding from me?"

Lin Yu felt his sleeve being tugged, and when he looked down, he saw that Hei Tong was looking at him intently.

"Is there anything else that hasn't been resolved?"

Najenda's gaze also turned towards them. Although she should have contacted the Revolutionary Army to overthrow the empire in one fell swoop, she did not choose to do so.

"There is indeed one last thing that needs to be resolved."

Lin Yu did not hide anything.

"But you shouldn't interfere with what happens next."

Before Hei Tong could say anything more, Lin Yu spoke first.

"Whatever happens, remember, never try to get close. Once the fighting is over, everything will be over."

The end of the battle will only determine the winner and loser. If Lin Yu's side wins, then of course everyone will be happy. But if the other side wins, no matter what the other side wants to do, this world will have no way to stop it. Therefore, Lin Yu's words are indeed true in a certain sense.

Everything will end after this battle.

"Be good, wait for me to come back."

He bent down and ruffled Hei Tong's hair as always, making her smooth, short black hair a mess. Among all the people present, Lin Yu was only worried about Hei Tong. The others would at least consider their own strength, but she would rush over like a moth to a flame without any regard for anything else.

There was no extra time for Lin Yu to persuade Hei Tong. He could sense that two terrifying auras had descended upon this world. Even Chris would probably not be able to hold out for long. He had to leave.

With his ice-blue wings unfurling behind him, Lin Yu instantly activated his Black Flame state. Facing the two strongest among the Proxy, even Chris admitted that she could only hold off one of them even with all her strength. Such opponents could no longer be tested or held back.

Holding Esdeath's hand, Lin Yu led Shana and Esdeath to the battlefield. This battle was of utmost importance; it was a matter of life or death!

"elder brother……"

The departure of Lin Yu and his two companions elicited various reactions from those present. Among the Night Raid members, only Akame and Najenda had any prior interaction; the rest had previously regarded Lin Yu as an enemy. But now, they at least knew one thing.

There are also battles that they are not even qualified to participate in, waiting for Lin Yu and his two companions!

[I originally wanted to write more about the love triangle and other dramatic scenes, but this book has been dragging on for too long, so I've decided to end it as soon as possible. I'm truly sorry to have disappointed everyone.]

327. The enemy!

"Hey, you're here."

Floating in mid-air, Chris glanced at the three people flying towards her. The forest near the capital was not as tense as she had imagined. Although there were many corpse puppets behind Chris, the two people in the face of such a scene were calmer than the other.

"Hmm, is it them?"

Lin Yu nodded to Chris, then looked at the two strongest among the agents. He never doubted their strength; Gaia and Alaya had reminded him of this countless times, and even Chris felt the same way.

With a hint of curiosity in his eyes, Lin Yu looked toward the strongest proxy. He knew Chris's strength; even if she used all her trump cards, she could only restrain one person. Lin Yu was very curious about such a powerful enemy!

"Come on, come on, let me see who it is!"

Even though this might be the most dangerous battle, Lin Yu felt no fear after losing all his escape routes. Chris could share the burden, and he, Shana, and Esdeath together might have a chance to win.

Holy crap!

Lin Yu thought he had reached his peak condition and would not waver no matter what kind of enemy he faced, but at this moment he was speechless, staring blankly at one of the two people floating opposite him, looking incredulous.

"Uh?"

The figure being stared at by Lin Yu seemed to only then realize his gaze. Wearing a red gloved hand, it raised it to its face, and then, to the girls' astonishment, extended its little finger…

"nausea."

Esdeath frowned, because the enemy she considered a formidable foe was actually... picking his nose?!

"I'm saying, are these really the two strongest agents you mentioned?"

Esdeath narrowed her long, narrow eyes slightly. It wasn't that she looked down on the other person; she wasn't the type to judge people by their appearance. But this guy in a khaki bodysuit and a white cape looked like an amateur cosplayer, and the character he was cosplaying was the kind that was particularly bad.

"That's without a doubt."

Chris smiled playfully in affirmation. She was the type of person who loved to laugh, although most of the time it was a sly laugh.

"If we absolutely have to rank them, he should be the strongest one, right?"

His gaze swept back and forth between the two men. Compared to the strangely dressed and bald 'creepy man,' the other strongest man seemed much more normal, and even somewhat handsome in comparison.

"Uh, so you're the enemy?"

The bald man with a shiny bald head asked the question with a blank and silly look. Even his companion's eyes twitched slightly, but he didn't say anything.

"You are……"

At this moment, Lin Yu also came back to his senses from his stunned state, and looked at the bald man with a twitching mouth. He recognized this person, or rather, he had seen the anime with this person as the protagonist.

He should have realized that since Chris was among the agents, there would naturally be other anime characters as well, and this one was clearly one of them.

"Saitama?"

The bald man was slightly taken aback, then grinned from ear to ear, his slightly excited expression making him look like a complete idiot as he stared at Lin Yu.

"Do you recognize me? Turns out, this hero is quite famous, haha!"

With his hands on his hips and an air of arrogance, he looked utterly ridiculous to those who didn't know him. This posture finally confirmed Lin Yu's suspicions; he was indeed the person he claimed to know!

Saitama, or Saitama-sensei, is the protagonist of One-Punch Man. He has a bizarre and low-class nickname: Bald Cape Man. But!

"Damn, even Saitama has become a proxy?!"

Lin Yu almost spat out a mouthful of blood. Who is Saitama? In the world of One-Punch Man, probably not many people would know him, and even fewer would understand him. Most people only know him as the bottom-ranked hero. But Lin Yu, who has read the original work several times, knows very well that this guy has heaven-defying strength!

Yes, it's truly heaven-defying. Even if it were someone else, like Chris, their strength would have a limit. But Lin Yu really doesn't know where the limit of this seemingly comical Saitama is. His power is beyond imagination. Apart from those gods he hasn't seen yet, Lin Yu can't think of anyone who could defeat him.

"The agent..."

Saitama looked thoughtful, as if he was considering how to answer.
