Their commission was suspicious.

“No, it’s not about killing, but simply defeating. Esdeath has always believed in the law of the jungle, that the weak must obey the orders of the strong. With you joining us, perhaps all we really need to do is defeat Esdeath,” Najenda said.

"If you agree, I can apply to the Revolutionary Army headquarters to transfer a Teigu to you. After it's done, the Teigu will be yours. Can't Soulfire help people break the limitation of only being able to use one Teigu?"

[Ding! You have a new request!]

[Defeat Esdeath]: Defeat Esdeath and make her obey.

Reward: 1000 Primogems + random reward + Revolutionary Army favorability 20.

Difficulty: Four stars

"But no matter what, Esdeath is truly my only team leader." Chen Luo hesitated.

"so?"

“It costs more,” Chen Luo said firmly.

"Weren't you going to save the empire? Where did that spirit of serving the country and its people go?" the Herald asked in surprise.

Chen Luo is still the same Chen Luo.

Once Chen Luo in "Savior Mode" appears, cherish him, because he might be gone at any time.

"The problem is that saving the Empire and defeating Esdeath are not mutually exclusive."

And that's 1000 raw gems.

Ha, isn't it just about defeating Esdeath and making her obey? That's something anyone can do.

So... how about a game of Truth or Dare? The kind where the winner is decided by chess.

Chapter 881 Chen Luo: I'm sorry, your Imperial Arm has already taken my shape.

"So, in return for giving us two Imperial Arms, you'll help us deal with Esdeath?" Najenda asked uncertainly.

“That’s right.” Chen Luo nodded.

“The Imperial Arms are very important,” Najenda said.

There are only 48 Imperial Arms in the entire world.

The Revolutionary Army is currently rising and growing in strength, and the Imperial Arms within the Revolutionary Army are not numerous.

“I know that Imperial Arms are important, but if you give me two Imperial Arms, I can take care of Esdeath on my own without any of you having to get involved.”

"Are you sure? Alone?" Najendan raised an eyebrow.

“I have special methods to deal with Esdeath. Don’t forget my identity and the Imperial Arm I possess,” Chen Luo said.

"Esdeath's cousin and the owner of the Soul Lamp, is that right?" Najenda pondered for a moment, and thought that this matter was quite feasible.

To defeat Esdeath, it would have required 10 Imperial Arms users, including Akame, and over 5 elite soldiers.

Even if Esdeath is defeated, it is uncertain how many of the 5 elite soldiers and ten Imperial Arms Masters will remain.

If it's a matter of exchanging two Imperial Arms for a chance to deal with Esdeath, then it's not something I can't agree to.

"Moreover, of the two Imperial Arms, one is the one I want, and the other is the one I borrowed." Chen Luo added as Najenda began to waver on the proposal.

"Borrow?" This was the first time Najenda had ever heard of Teigu being used in this way.

Imperial Arms are not something you can just pick up and use; the user needs to be in sync with the Imperial Arm's wavelength, and such people are one in ten thousand.

Therefore, if an Imperial Arm can be used by one person, it can generally be concluded that it belongs to that person.

"Yes, that's right, it's just a loan. We'll return it, and it won't be long before we do," Chen Luo said.

"Which Imperial Arm do you want, and which Imperial Arm do you want to borrow?" Najenda asked.

"I don't even know what Imperial Arms you have, how am I supposed to know what I want? Do you Revolutionary Army have any biological Imperial Arms? I want a biological Imperial Arm," Chen Luo said.

“A biological Imperial Arm? It seems there is indeed one.” Najenda said after a moment of thought.

The Revolutionary Army also possesses its own Imperial Arms inventory. After all, without even a few Imperial Arms, the Revolutionary Army would lack the most basic conditions to fight against the Empire.

Najenda also has the authority to view the quantity and type of Imperial Arms.

“Then I’ll take that biological Imperial Arm.” Chen Luo said.

Chen Luo became increasingly interested in the biological-type Imperial Arm Susanoo.

Chen Luo could directly copy other Imperial Arms to varying degrees, but biological Imperial Arms were the most precious in terms of their memories.

Besides, if Chen Luo, as a puppeteer, isn't interested in biological Imperial Arms, what is he interested in?

Although Susanoo is no longer needed as the head chef, he can still serve dishes at the bar.

Moreover, given the name Susanoo and the techniques he has demonstrated, Chen Luo is eager to see what kind of power he could unleash if he were to enter a world where one strengthens oneself through concepts.

For example, the world of Type-Moon and the world of A Certain Magical Index.

I wonder if there are any beautiful female-type biological Imperial Arms in the world...

“Let’s discuss this with the leader of the Revolutionary Army. This proposal might be approved, since that biological Imperial Arm has been dormant for hundreds of years and has not been awakened,” Najenda said.

An unusable biological Imperial Arms is no different from a pile of scrap metal.

“Actually, I feel you can awaken that Imperial Arm,” Chen Luo said.

"Huh? Why do you say that?" Najendan asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Intuition. So you've really decided to use this Imperial Arm?" Chen Luo asked again.

“Isn’t this the Teigu you wanted? Why are you asking me? Even if I could awaken that Teigu, its power couldn’t possibly surpass Esdeath’s current strength. From a purely rational perspective, this deal is worthwhile. From an emotional perspective, I’m sorry, I haven’t met him yet, so I can’t really talk about emotions.” Najenda shook her head.

"Then it's him." Chen Luo snapped his fingers.

“Alright. So, what Imperial Arm do you wish to borrow?” Najenda continued to ask.

"I'm really not sure. Could you write down the list for me?" Chen Luo asked.

"can."

"During this time, may I touch the Imperial Arms of the Night Raiders? I want to see if there are any that I'm compatible with. Of course, I'm just borrowing them, maybe only for one night, and then I'll return them to you," Chen Luo said.

“This… I can’t decide. It depends on what the owner of the Imperial Arm you want to borrow thinks,” Najenda said.

After saying that, Najenda went to find paper and pen.

While Najenda was trying to recall what Imperial Arms the Revolutionary Army possessed, Chen Luo also approached other Imperial Arms users.

“Leonardo, may I touch your belt?” Chen Luo asked, leaning closer.

“Hey bro, you have a good eye. Let me tell you, my Beast King Transformation is definitely a top-tier Imperial Arm.” Leone said as he unbuckled his belt.

Anyway, Chen Luo was just touching it. Now that we're raiding the headquarters at night, can Chen Luo really steal it?

Besides, if Chen Luo really can take it away, what difference does it make whether I give it to him or not?

The difference lies in whether you will get beaten up first and then have your Imperial Arms stolen.

"Henshin!" Chen Luo exclaimed excitedly the moment he received and fastened the belt.

“Oh dear, that’s not how you say it. You should say Beast King Transformation…” Leone corrected.

But before Leone could finish speaking, a golden light flashed across the belt of the Beast King Transformation.

A faint shockwave emanated from Chen Luo, sweeping through the entire conference room. Chen Luo's originally short black hair instantly grew longer and became much more voluminous.

Most importantly, Chen Luo actually grew a pair of beast ears, and at the same time, Chen Luo could feel that he had a tail, but because he was wearing pants, it couldn't be seen.

But Chen Luo now knows why Leone was dressed so revealingly—it's because of the awkwardness of transforming into a Teigu.

After transforming, Chen Luo felt that all five of his senses had been enhanced.

"Wow, the result seems quite different from what I got after transforming," Leone exclaimed in surprise.

After hearing Leone's exclamation, Chen Luo glanced at Leone indifferently.

"!!!"

"Such a fierce aura, such terrifying pressure. So this is how you Lubbock feel when you face me after my transformation."

Upon seeing Chen Luo's transformed form, Leone was so intimidated by just a glance from him that she took several steps back, her aura completely suppressed.

"Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?" Lubbock asked.

"Of course it's the truth, stop keeping me in suspense."

“Maybe this guy is more suited to the Beast King transformation than you are. The kingly aura he exudes is much stronger than yours. At least when you transform, I don’t have to be afraid to even look at you.” Labok’s eyes subconsciously avoided Chen Luo, who was standing next to Leone, as he spoke.

"......" by Leone.

"This Imperial Arm is amazing. This Imperial Arm is truly amazing!" Seeing Chen Luo's current appearance, the Herrscher of Knowledge, who was originally sitting in Najenda's seat, couldn't help but stand up, praising the Imperial Arm while circling around Chen Luo.

The good thing about this Imperial Arm is... it can give Chen Luo animal ears.

What? You're saying this Imperial Arm is strong or not?

Whether someone is strong or not is a matter of one version, but whether someone is handsome or not is a matter of a lifetime!

Even if this Beast King form is strong, can it be stronger than the Heavenly Fire Judgment?

"Slap!" Chen Luo slapped away the Herrscher of Knowledge's hand that was trying to touch his ear.

"Here you go." Chen Luo quickly deactivated his transformation and returned the belt to Leone, seeing the eager look in the Herrscher of Knowledge's eyes.

"What's wrong? Are you feeling any aversion?" Leone asked.

“No, not at all.” Chen Luo shook his head.

In fact, this belt suits Chen Luo quite well.

"Then why did you give up so quickly?"

"Wearing this Imperial Arms out in public could easily arouse others' ill intentions towards me," Chen Luo said seriously.

"..."

Leone truly didn't expect that she would dislike this Imperial Arm for this reason.

“Lubbock, can I see your gloves?” Chen Luo ran to Lubbock again.

"Here you go. Let me tell you, be very careful when you play with these gloves, don't hurt yourself. The threads inside are very sharp, and you probably won't be able to handle them."

Because Chen Luo helped his sweetheart heal his arm and eyes, Lubbock was very enthusiastic towards Chen Luo.

"Since the Thousand Transformations Cross Tail is a linear Imperial Arm, it can transform into many forms, such as a gun. After this gun pierces the opponent's body, it quickly extends and then explodes, destroying the opponent's heart. This is my signature technique," Labok said.

"Oh, is that so?" After taking the Imperial Arm into his hands and receiving some guidance from Lubbock on how to use it, countless threads were drawn from Chen Luo's gloves and began to change shape in the air.

“Look, a gun,” Chen Luo said, pointing to the object in front of him.

"...You call this a gun?" Lubbock looked at the object in front of him uncertainly.

“Yeah, isn’t this a gun?” Chen Luo said, touching the long gun.

"This is indeed a gun, but can you explain how you created a puppet that looks exactly like me, besides the gun? Wow, the puppet is moving. Wow, this gunplay looks so cool."

Exclamations of surprise frequently came from Lubbock's mouth.

Before Lubbock, a doll that looked almost exactly like Lubbock but had no color was wielding a long spear with great force.

"Unbelievable, Lubbock can be so handsome?" Leone exclaimed.

Even more unimaginable is that the doll made of thread is more handsome than Lubbock himself.

"Exquisite marksmanship," Brand, the Hundred-Man Slayer, had a different opinion.

"Lubbock, why haven't you demonstrated how to use this Imperial Arm before? Is it because it's not easy to use?" Mine couldn't help but ask.

“I think it’s because the energy expenditure was too high,” Akame said.

“…I want to use this method, but I need to know how to use it first,” Lubbock said after a long pause.

Damn, is this really still the ever-changing Cross Tail?

This puppet made of silk threads, wielding a long spear, looks even more formidable than Brand.

This isn't Cross Tail at all! The real purpose of Cross Tail isn't combat! You're using it wrong!

And why are you so skilled at using silk thread?

"Wow, wait a minute, what is the Cross Tail doing? Is it writing? Is that even possible?"
