"Since they don't need you, why don't you just leave them?"
"..."
The Holy Emperor raised his head and met his gaze with his red, tear-filled eyes.
“You feel like a failure, but I’ve never felt that way. Others might think you’re just a pretty face, but in my opinion, at least you did something right and meaningful in the end.”
Despite strong opposition, the Gastrea Act was forcefully introduced to grant children human rights.
Although it's practically useless now, at least it shows the Holy Emperor's determination to change everything.
"Moreover, as I said before, you were simply born at the wrong time. Your methods, Holy Emperor, are too gentle and not suitable for the end times that require severe punishments to govern."
"Then what should I do...?"
“I’ve already said it, leave them. These people don’t need you, but I need you.”
"what...."
The Holy Emperor let out a small gasp, his face gradually flushing crimson.
"...Mr. Mahiro, may I take this as a confession?"
“Of course, no problem.” Mahiro smiled slightly. “Besides confessing my feelings, this is also my idea. I think you are an excellent leader, so if you are willing, could you come to Arcadia to help me? Help me manage this place and, together with those children, establish a new kingdom.”
"I...."
The Holy Emperor choked up a little, but looking at Yotsuba Mahiro's sincere smile made her feel very warm.
I never imagined that even now, there would still be people willing to believe in me.
That trust was like a ray of dawn breaking through the darkness and shining into her heart.
This made her blush slightly, like an ordinary young girl, and she buried her head in his chest, saying in a muffled voice:
"...Mr. Mahiro, you are truly despicable."
"Yes, I admit it. So, Your Majesty, would you be willing to join Arcadia and help such a despicable person like me to govern this land and watch these children grow up?"
"Okay, I promise you..."
Hear this answer.
Yotsuba Mahiro was not surprised at all.
After all, a person's heart is most vulnerable when it is being rebuilt after it has been broken.
The Holy Emperor happens to be in this situation, hated by the people of Tokyo, held hostage by Kikunojo for a long time, and subjected to various threats, both overt and covert.
All of these things had already overwhelmed her, making it hard for her to breathe.
-------------------------------------
Night time.
The children in Arcadia are fast asleep.
Yotsuba Mahiro is standing on the city wall, gazing at the distant Tokyo area and the war-torn 40th district.
As predicted, the Army Self-Defense Force suffered a series of defeats under the Gastrea army's offensive and successfully turned the tide against the police auxiliary forces.
Numerous wounded police officers began to flee, posing no real threat whatsoever.
Soon, the Gastrea had spread into the Tokyo area, and even from this distance, the evening breeze seemed to carry their mournful howls here.
At this moment, besides himself, Tina, Senju Natsuyo, and Mibu Asaka were all on the city wall.
Even the Holy Emperor was there.
Originally, he didn't want the Holy Emperor to come, but she insisted, saying that she wanted to see the Tokyo area disappear one last time.
"Then I'll start."
"Ah."
The Holy Emperor nodded heavily.
Although her hands, clad in white silk, clenched tightly together and rested on her lower abdomen, her gaze had hardened.
It's time to say goodbye.
She was completely disillusioned with the Tokyo area.
"Multiple Observations" - Launch
"Eye of the Spirit" - Activate
"Matter Conversion: Mercury and Antimony Oxide"—Initiation
"Red Mercury Nuclear Explosion"—Begin!
In the heart of Tokyo, now shrouded in darkness, lay the pure white palace—the Seijutsu.
Suddenly, nearly one cubic decimeter of red mercury appeared out of thin air in the Holy Emperor's room.
Then, it transformed into a sphere and inexplicably burst into flames, radiating a dazzling light like the sun.
The dissipated energy, growing stronger with the flames, is rapidly devouring everything.
The nuclear fusion of red mercury instantly explodes at temperatures of tens of millions of degrees Celsius, melting and vaporizing the metal and annihilating everything!
In a short time, the entire Tokyo area was turned into an inferno. Whether it was people hiding in shelters or Gastrea ravaging the surface, everyone perished in the extreme heat.
The scorching blast spread rapidly across the earth's surface like a plague!
Just as the blast was about to reach the outer area, a strong tremor suddenly came from the ground!
The entire 39th ward suddenly disappeared from the Tokyo area.
The mass extinction in the Tokyo area was just the beginning.
Then came Sendai, Osaka, and Hakata, all disappearing in turn under the "quality explosion".
However, during this process, he discovered something interesting: Libra, one of the zodiac signs and known as the "King of Plagues," had appeared!
He only understood after tracing back to the source.
It turns out they were attracted by Scorpio.
Seemingly sensing the impending demise of Scorpio, Libra, as the elder sister, appeared in Japan, preparing to launch a revenge attack on humanity.
Now that he was here, he naturally followed the same tactic and launched an attack on Libra.
"Cocytus" – Activate!
Strategic-level magic "Ice Age"—activated!
The Fourth Phase Transition – Initiated!
In this way, he transformed the Gastrea of the zodiac back into humans and subdued them one by one.
And just as he guessed, Libra did indeed have short pink hair, just like Ram.
I feel a bit speechless.
After Japan's defeat, it was the turn of other countries.
First, Russia was plunged into permafrost, frozen permanently below absolute zero during the "glacial period".
Then Asia, and Europe.
It took him nearly a year to destroy human settlements while simultaneously subduing the Cursed Children, totaling 400,000, all of whom he stored in his ring.
It's ridiculous to say that.
With over 100 million people remaining in the world, these children were so brutally murdered that there are fewer than a million left.
It's truly heartbreaking.
"Forget it, let all evil be destroyed under the brilliance of the stars."
Hovering above the stratosphere, Yotsuba Mahiro gazed down at the earth with a cold look in his eyes.
At the same time, he pointed "Nightmare" high into the sky and pulled the trigger.
"Starfall" - Activated!
Under his indifferent and ruthless gaze, countless meteorites were pulled down from Earth's outer orbit, like a meteor shower or a torrential downpour.
The powerful impact shattered the mountains and caused the sea to boil.
The ground was completely engulfed in flames, with no trace of life remaining.

P.S.: Black Bullet arc is done!
Chapter 93: He returns, but wakes up in Maya's arms?!
Night time.
The stone lanterns in the courtyard cast a bluish-white light, and the inky night enveloped the Yotsuba family mansion.
Inside the living room, the white steam rising from the teapot meandered upwards under the dim yellow light.
"Lord Maya, there is still no news of Master Shinjiro today."
"How long has it been?"
"It's been exactly one month as of today."
"Yeah...."
The hand of Hayama, who was serving at her side, hovered above Maya's teacup, the water tracing a shimmering amber arc. Maya's fingertips gently caressed the glaze on the rim of the cup, and the rising steam blurred her profile.
"Lord Maya, please forgive my rudeness. Is it possible that Master Shinji is really dead, as Tatsuya said?"
Mahiro has been missing for a month, and the news was reported to the main family by Tatsuya.
Although it wasn't said explicitly at the time, the meaning was implied both overtly and covertly.
Because Mahiro suddenly disappeared at that time, along with the relics.
It's like being struck by a spell that makes clouds disperse and fog disappear... no, it's even more exaggerated than clouds disperse and fog disappear, as if the person never existed, and even the molecular and elemental levels cannot be traced.
At that time, they were in FLT's laboratory, a completely sealed room.
Therefore, Tatsuya concluded that Yotsuba Mahiro was already dead.
"Hehe~ Hayama, do you think so too?"
"No, my conclusion is based solely on Tatsuya's report and my recent investigation."
After all, if someone goes missing, they should at least leave some clues.
However, despite the combined efforts of the Yotsuba family, the Nanatsu family, and even the Chiba family in searching, they found no trace of them.
"What if Tatsuya is wrong?"
Maya picked up her teacup and took a small sip, her posture alluring and her movements captivating.
"You mean, Young Master Zhenxun isn't dead?"
"Yayama, how about we make a bet?"
"I don't dare."
"Giggle~"
Maya smiled, placing her hands on her lower abdomen, feeling the warmth emanating from her through the thin wine-red fabric, her eyes revealing an indescribable tenderness.
"Although the child was not conceived from my womb, he was ultimately born from my organs, and from a DNA perspective, he is also my child."
"Perhaps this is what it feels like to be connected to someone by blood... I can feel that little Mahiro is just lost."
Her delicate fingertips unconsciously traced tiny folds on her burgundy kimono, just like the gesture she had fantasized about countless times—stroking a baby in swaddling clothes.
At the same time, a hint of regret and deep-seated hatred flashed in Maya's eyes.
That was clearly her child, a child who should have been born from her womb, held in her arms, and watched grow up, just like her older sister had done.
But in the end... it's like being born as an experiment, unable to be embraced even with one's own hands.
She was completely deprived of her rights as a woman and as a mother!
Now they're going to take away her most beloved child!
