Odysseus spoke up first, a faint red light flashing in his eyes, as if he were used to everything that was happening.

The same red light also flickered in the eyes of Xiuzenail and Cornelia.

“His power is indeed important, but it is no longer of any use. Moreover, he is different from the three of you. As my most valued children, you only have me in your hearts and love me the most. Therefore, you would never deceive me or betray me.”

“But your uncle is different. He betrayed me a long time ago. Your uncle is not trustworthy. All I need is his power.”

Upon hearing this, the three simultaneously placed their right arms across their chests and said, "We will always obey Father's orders, always be loyal to Father, and will never betray him."

"Yes, that's good, that's good. You are my most beloved children, and no one can shake the love we shared before."

The three men looked at Charles, their eyes gleaming red. It seemed that each of them had a perfect father-son or father-daughter relationship with Charles, and their love for their father surpassed everything.

Seeing this, Charles nodded in satisfaction, raised his pistol, and aimed at VV, whose wound was healing rapidly.

"Shuzenair, record this carefully. It's an important bargaining chip for our deal with the Chinese Empire."

"Yes, Father, I will definitely do my best."

Xiu Zaner responded to Charles with a big smile, like an innocent child.

Just then, VV's fingers twitched, as if he was beginning to regain vital signs. At that moment, Charles fired without hesitation.

One shot, two shots...

All the bullets in the pistol were emptied, hitting VV's heart, neck, head, and other vital organs. VV, whose fingers had been trembling, once again showed no signs of life.

Upon seeing this, Cornelia knelt down on one knee, took VV's right hand marked with the Code, then cut VV's palm with a knife, and respectfully raised VV's bleeding hand towards Charles.

Seeing this, Charles also turned his right hand toward VV's right hand, grasped VV's hand, and interlocked his fingers with VV's small hand.

As VV's contractor, he killed VV with his own hands, and now he has touched VV's Code mark. This means that Charles will inherit VV's Code and become the new Code.

In an instant, a fierce red light burst forth, almost illuminating the entire dimly lit palace.

Looking at the red lights, Charles laughed, a ferocious laugh, yet seemingly sweet.

"Brother, I will accept your last act of love."

Author's Note:

There will be another update after midnight.

213 The Final Regret

The light comes quickly and goes quickly.

The inheritance of Code is not the inheritance of power, but merely a transition of identity. After all, Code's power actually comes from the world consciousness of the rebellious world of Lelouch, rather than being truly stored within Code's body.

Therefore, the mark on VV's hand was quickly transferred to Charles's hand, and Charles immediately became the Code holder, an immortal being.

Unless Charles makes a contract with someone, granting that person the power of Geass, and is then killed by that contractor, Charles will never die.

So, with whom will Charles enter into a contract, making someone his contractor?

Obviously not.

Charles is not a weak woman like CC. He has his own ideals and wants to achieve them with his own strength. He will not rely on any contractors at all.

Moreover, his original ideal is now within reach. As long as he finds Marianne and allows the Britannian army to occupy the last relic of the gods, all he needs to do is wait for the completion of the God-Slaying System.

It really is just a matter of time.

Therefore, no one can make mistakes or cause trouble during this process.

Therefore, Charles used Geass on his three most outstanding children, Odysseus, Schezer, and Cornelia, altering their memories and their relationship with Charles.

In this way, there will be no chance of anything going wrong.

As for Momo, Charles would definitely not provoke him now, since as long as he doesn't provoke Momo, Momo won't show any danger.

Previously, the danger posed by VV's provocation of Mormer was already clear; it almost destroyed the ideals of both Charles and Marianne, which was a major reason why Charles finally decided to take action.

Unlike in the original story, VV has now been crippled by Mo Mo, and the power of the cult under VV's control has been almost completely destroyed. VV's last remaining value is minimal.

On the contrary, VV has become an unstable factor.

Now that VV is dead, Charles has become Code, and all he needs to do is wait patiently.

Having become Code, he has plenty of time and can patiently do anything. Marianna is already a conscious being, so there is no such thing as aging for her.

Everything was on track, everything was perfect, and at this point no one could cause trouble for Charles.

Even VV won't work.

Having gained the power of the Code, Charles immediately discarded VV's hand, no longer glancing at his brother who lay dead on the ground.

"Congratulations, Father!" x3

Xiuzner and the other two bowed to Charles at the same time. Charles smiled slightly and said, "I'll have to trouble you with the rest of the matters."

“Odysseus, you will continue to be in charge of Britannia and stabilize the internal situation. Stability is the top priority. Anyone who tries to provoke conflict must be punished with swift and decisive action.”

Odysseus nodded in agreement and said, "Yes, My Majesty!"

"Cornelia, things on the battlefield are up to you. It's also time for the EU to produce a result. Let those guys who rely on hypocritical democracy to comfort themselves know the taste of iron and blood."

"In this regard, the Chinese Empire will also advance from Siberia toward Europe. At that time, we will attack from both sides, and the EU will only face certain death."

Cornelia immediately bowed and said, "Leave this matter to me, Father!"

"Then what about me, Father? You can't just leave me idle, can you?"

Even after being hit by Charles's Geass, Xiu Zenai still wore a gentle smile. He pointed the camera at VV on the ground and said, "And Father, according to our agreement with the Chinese Empire, what they want is Uncle's head, right?"

"Should I cut off Uncle's head for Father now? There don't seem to be any suitable tools here."

Cornelia smiled slightly and said, "I can handle this. A simple dagger will suffice. Father should have one, right?"

Charles pulled a ceremonial dagger from his waist and tossed it to Cornelia, saying, "Don't make a mess of blood. You can drag him out and do it later."

"In addition, Xiu Zenai, you don't need to worry about the African battlefield for the time being. What you need to do next is to take full responsibility for our relationship with the Chinese Empire."

"We need to make the Chinese Empire feel our sincerity in cooperating with them, and let them believe that we are determined to deal with Momo. At the same time, we must do our best to maintain good relations with Momo's side, keep them in check, and prevent Momo from making any moves."

Do you understand what I'm saying?

Xiu Zenai smiled confidently and said, "Don't worry, Father. I'm best at this kind of hypocrisy. After all, everyone says that my greatest skill is faking a smile, isn't it?"

"Your strength isn't in faking smiles, but rather in how strange you are. You seem to have no desires or wants, and probably no genuine emotions."

“You’re like a machine, always doing things according to other people’s expectations. If you could show some emotion, I could trust you a little more.”

Xiuzenair shrugged and said, "Father, is this a compliment or a criticism? I'll take it as a compliment. Don't worry, Father, I know what to do."

"I will first have the Emperor of the Chinese Empire confirm my uncle's death, and then take his head to meet with Bismarck to exchange for our beloved Sixth Knight Anya. At the same time, I will try my best to avoid contact with Momer's side to prevent them from using Geass on me..."

"Am I right, Father?"

Charles smiled with satisfaction, seemingly content with this false affection. Perhaps at some point he had thought how wonderful it would be if his exceptionally talented children could understand him and support his ideals?

But for now, this fake world seems alright; it's enough for the time being.

What Charles needs now is just a little time, a period of peace and quiet where no one can disturb him.

"You're right, my child. I'll leave the rest to you. I'm a little tired."

After saying that, Charles turned and left the palace first, his hurried steps suggesting a desire to escape.

Perhaps he wasn't as relaxed and carefree as he appeared when he killed his own brother. After all, for a long time, the love between the brothers was pure and trustworthy.

However, long ago, this brotherhood had already begun to gradually change.

"call--"

Odysseus breathed a sigh of relief as Charles left and said, "Our great father was good in every way, except that he was a little too harsh. Take our uncle, for example, his death was... too undignified, wasn't it?"

Cornelia drew her sword and said, "Since we're all going to die anyway, what's the point of talking about dignity? Brother, you should really look at those who died on the battlefield. Their deaths were even less dignified, but they deserve our respect."

"Cornelia, you're too hasty. Do you really intend to make a move here? Father wouldn't like this place being filled with bloodshed, would he?"

Xiuzenel dissuaded Cornelia from taking action, while Odysseus exclaimed in surprise, "Hey, you two aren't really planning to do it yourselves, are you? Wouldn't it be better to have the servants do this?"

Cornelia rolled her eyes and said, "This is such a confidential matter, how can we let outsiders know? Besides, shouldn't we do something for our great father?"

Odysseus was speechless, but his expression immediately turned serious. He said, "You're right, Cornelia. I just fell into my lazy habit again. This matter is indeed worth our personal attention."

"It's rare for the three of us siblings to get together and do something like this for our great father. It's like a party!"

"We three siblings are having a party while chopping off Uncle's head? This party is really interesting. Alright, brother, stop talking. Let's take Uncle to the side hall. Let's not let our sister do this kind of thing."

Odysseus looked at VV on the ground with some disgust, but still sighed and walked to the other side, reaching out to grab one of VV's arms, while Xiuzenel reached for VV's right wrist, whose palm had been cut and from which the Code mark had been removed.

"Then I'll lead the way... Brother Xiuzenair, what's wrong?"

Cornelia was about to take a step when she suddenly noticed that Xiuzanne's face was deathly pale. She asked instinctively, but immediately found out the reason.

It turns out that when Xiuzner tried to grab VV's right wrist, VV's right hand grabbed his wrist instead.

VV just moved!

"ah!"

Odysseus was startled and let out a girlish scream. Cornelia drew her sword and rushed forward, but she was stopped by Xiuzanne.

"Brother, what exactly is going on..."

"Perhaps, it was Uncle's last bit of unwillingness?"

Xiu Zenai looked pained, then easily pried VV's fingers apart, and this time, VV could no longer move.

"Hmph, it's just a long-lived and tough bug, what's there to be sad about? Brother Xiuzanne, you should change your temper."

"Yes, yes, I will definitely change."

Xiuzenel smiled and was about to make another move, but suddenly felt dizzy and almost couldn't stand up, which once again attracted the attention of Cornelia and Odysseus.

"Brother, are you alright?"

"Hey, Odysseus, you're not scared, are you? Haha."

Odysseus walked over arrogantly, as if the one who had just screamed like a young girl was someone else.

Xiu Zenai's head was throbbing more and more. He covered his eyes and said, "It seems... something's wrong. I think I should see a doctor. Can I trouble you two, brother and sister, for now?"

“Brother Xiuzenair,” Cornelia frowned at Xiuzenair’s behavior and said, “You’re not really going to run away at the last minute, are you? Well, never mind, brother, you’re not that kind of person. Give me the camera, I’ll take over from here.”
