You are very strong, but my painting style is better than yours!

A young man wearing a blue coat, dressed simply, with a dignified and resolute face stood at the door of the office.

"Is that you Will? Come in."

After getting permission, Will pushed the door open and found that many people had already arrived.

One was a handsome and elegant blond man, one was a weird middle-aged man wearing glasses, one was a tall girl holding a strange puppy, and the last one was... uh.

Will was frightened by the strange man at the edge, because the man was naked from the waist up, but wore a scary gas mask on his head, looking like someone who only appeared in horror novels.

It's perverted no matter how you look at it!

Then look at the officer sitting behind the desk. He is also wearing a mask on his face and his hands are wrapped in bandages. In terms of how weird they are, they are just as weird.

...Where on earth have I come to?

"Don't panic, Will."

Iori sat on a chair, his hands crossed to cover the lower half of his mask, and said to the five people in a calm tone: "Some of you were invited by me personally, some received transfer orders from your superiors, and some were recommended by trusted seniors.

There is no doubt that I was behind all this, because I bribed your superiors and seniors."

"..."

The atmosphere suddenly became subtle.

But Iori seemed unaware and continued, "As for why I have put so much effort into gathering you all here, it is naturally because you have corresponding value.

As a rare imperial weapon user, except for this fashionable gentleman, you are all unknown people, unable to display your excellent talents and unable to get promoted by your superiors."

This is something Iori wanted to complain about in his previous life:

Why is it that even though he is an imperial weapon user, his usage is almost the same as that of a soldier?

Moreover, imperial tools like Wanli Feixiang and Pumpkin Fortress should obviously be group-killing weapons or scout artifacts. Why should they be transferred to the killer unit and police sequence?

The Revolutionary Army is a rebel organization. Why didn't they transfer a brave and intelligent general like Demon-Haunted Brad to the front line, but instead kept him in the Imperial Capital as an assassin?

The imperial weapon users on the empire's side also use them as consumables... They are really a match made in heaven!

Maybe it's because in their opinion, what's important is the Teigu rather than the person who uses it. After all, people like Esdeath who can break the upper limit of Teigu are very rare, and most Teigu users can only exert the power of the Teigu itself.

Some imperial tools require kryptonian life to acquire, which are literally "consumables".

But Iori would not be so wasteful. Familiar with the settings of the anime, he easily found these imperial weapon users from the empire's huge military organization.

Except for Mr. Fashion who has a higher rank, the others are soldiers or middle and lower-level officers. The handsome man Ran, who is slightly inferior to Iori in appearance, is even a civilian. It is said that he used to be a teacher.

Therefore, while the ministers had not yet publicly turned against each other, Sheela's reputation was still effective, and with a little bit of money, it was easy to transfer them to his own side.

“But from now on, your destiny has changed!

I only value talent rather than background. As long as you are capable, you can get the treatment you deserve here.

Don't panic, sit down and have a cup of tea first, there is no rival ahead of us!"

PS: In the previous chapter, some readers felt that the protagonist’s actions were not very reasonable, so I modified that chapter and added some explanations, and in this chapter I further explained it.

I just hope everyone doesn't misunderstand that the protagonist never wanted to play a serious dynasty battle, and in "Akira Kill", the empire was over just like that, and he wasn't given the time.

Therefore, he wants to use his intelligence and combat power advantages to speed up the process, and it is not even certain whether he will become the emperor. The previous chapter was just for the purpose of increasing his popularity, which is the same as a show, so it seems very rough and imperfect.

In the final analysis, his goal is to gain style value, and then rely on absolute force to quell the chaos. After all, this is the world view of "Aka Kill".

Volume 56: The White Moonlight of the Seireitei: Chapter : The Most Conscientious Boss in History

If Iori had not intervened, according to the original plot development, Will and others would have been recruited by Esdeath, who had lost the three beast warriors, to form a special police organization called "Hunters" to specifically deal with the "Night Raid" killer group headed by Nadezhda.

Although they are villains in the original work, Iori does not feel any psychological pressure to use these people to work.

If we analyze each of them one by one, Will is a typical passionate young man, loyal, honest, hardworking and resolute, and he is also the easiest type of person to deal with.

Porus looks weird and sinister, but he actually has a good personality. He has done a lot of dirty work for the empire in the past, and has a strong sense of guilt hidden in his heart. In addition, he has a beautiful wife and a lovely daughter, and he is considered a winner in life.

There is nothing easier to handle than a man with a soft spot...

Although this honest man probably wouldn't dare to betray the empire, he has no choice once he's on Iori's pirate ship!

Hey, this is for his own good, too. Even if he follows Iori and becomes a traitor to the empire, he and his family can't possibly have a more miserable fate than in the original novel... maybe he'll even be lucky enough to get a title for his wife and children.

There is nothing much to say about the blond handsome boy "Lan". Once a pervert tortured and killed his beloved students, and Lan has never been able to let it go.

Iori used the Revolutionary Army and Sheila's intelligence network to successfully find the pervert, and brought him to Ran, allowing him to take revenge personally. After that, this elegant and intellectual handsome man had already become his die-hard fan.

——The only ones who have some problems are Sai Liu and Mr. Fashion.

Both of them have some problems on the mental level. One is overly paranoid, the other overly cheerful. They are the type that you know it's hard to find weaknesses in even with intelligence.

Among them, Mr. Fashion is a scientist, but he prefers human body modification and has no sense of morality. He can trample on any laws and ethics for the sake of experiments.

To be honest, Iori didn't like such people, but he had to admit that this guy's technological power was the best in the world. So he had made three rules with Mr. Fashion, not to use civilians for experiments, and as compensation, Iori would provide him with more research funds and bring him very good test subjects - such as high-level dangerous species, or the four Rakshasa ghosts.

Mr. Fashion agreed readily, but looking at his nonchalant attitude, he would probably break the agreement sooner or later.

It doesn't matter. Since Iori has already decided to make a big move in this world, he naturally won't wait for the plot to develop slowly. Maybe he has already ended everything before the main storyline of the original work even begins.

By then, if Mr. Fashion doesn't know what's best for him... Anyway, Iori has done his best.

Cyreiu Eubiquitas, nicknamed Lady of Justice or Dog Girl.

This is a more difficult guy than Mr. Fashion, because her sense of justice is so strong that she cannot distinguish between good and evil, and her personality is so naive that it is cruel - this kind of person only believes in what he wants to believe, has no weaknesses and no desires, and is impossible to communicate with.

But who is Iori?

How could a hero who can chat and laugh with Kurotsuchi Mayuri stick to conventional thinking when solving problems?!

He had no psychological burden at all and decisively decided to use a hypnosis device on Sailiu!

In addition, Iori has sent people to investigate her background. This guy's parents died early, and she has always admired her teacher: the captain of the Imperial Capital Guard "Demon Ouka" while growing up.

They are obedient to his every word, and their distorted sense of justice is instilled in them in this way.

But she obviously had not watched "Bleach" and did not understand what "admiration" really meant. In fact, this Oni Ouka was an absolute scumbag. He even killed Sai Liu's parents. Afterwards, he pretended to teach Sai Liu just to train a suitable tool for himself.

On the second day after Sai Liu joined the team, Iori had Ouka brought over and used Mr. Fashion's truth serum to make him confess all his crimes, including how he killed Sai Liu's parents for money and disguised it as if he was killed by thieves.

——Sailiu, who was standing outside the house, heard everything and had a mental breakdown on the spot. He rushed in and killed Ouka, then fainted due to the blow he couldn’t bear.

Iori took advantage of the situation and used the hypnosis device to slightly adjust the paranoid and distorted "absolute justice" in her mind.

The reason why she was not completely brainwashed was because Sailuo had a strong willpower, and Mayuri Kurotsuchi's product was not the type that would be forced, so he could only replace some of the concepts in her mind.

Originally, her criterion for judging "evil" was "the enemy of justice (the empire)", but Iori changed it to "the enemy of the general".

Probably the idea is that Iori represents the empire and justice, so his enemies are the enemies of the empire - that's the idea.

At the same time, Ouka's previous image of "teacher" will be replaced by Iori. Although this cannot purify Sailu's heart, it can make her work for himself. Iori is very satisfied with this.

On the third day, Iori used [Shangri-La] to move Porus' family to the Far Eastern Island Country and showed them his prestige in the local area.

He spoke frankly to the masked man, saying that the situation was getting worse and worse, and although you were an imperial weapon user, you could easily lose your life in the turbulent times. What would happen to a young and beautiful widowed mother and daughter in such a world...it should be imaginable.

Then Iori made Porus an offer he couldn't refuse:

His wife and daughter were settled in a city in the Far East Island Country, a neutral zone rarely affected by war. The garrison generals and martial arts instructors were all swordsmen trained by Iori. They had witnessed Iori's strength and revered him like a god.

Porus' wife and daughter will be protected here by someone special, which is definitely much safer than staying in the empire!

As long as Porus swears allegiance to Iori, his wife and daughter can get this protection!

The good man Porus thought about it seriously and then agreed:

if not?

Not only are you not allowed to continue doing the dirty work, but your family has also been settled in advance. What else do you want?

This welfare benefit is definitely unique in the feudal empire!

Besides, everyone has moved to the Far East. If they don’t agree, are they going to swim back?

——Just like this, although he used some methods that were not very decent, Iori subdued these five imperial tool users in just three or four days.

Together with the warriors under his command, his strength has apparently surpassed the "hunters" in the original work.

As one side gains, the other side loses. Even if Esdeath returns to the imperial capital, it will be very difficult to form another team of imperial tool users... If Iori takes the time to kill a few more imperial tool users, the empire will probably have no one left to use except the soldiers~

-

On this day, Iori brought his subordinates to a certain county and began to search houses as usual to make his presence felt and gain favor in front of the people.

However, his CG was not updated immediately. Obviously, if he wants to elevate his "reputation" to "legend" and then increase the value of the painting style, it requires a certain amount of accumulation and precipitation.

The reason why he was able to brush up his painting style so smoothly when he killed hundreds of demons in the Far East Island Country was largely due to the widespread superstition of the local people - they liked to create gods.

The common people of the empire are relatively more difficult to please...but Iori believes that everything will work out and there is no need to worry about it.

At night, he stayed in the prefect's mansion, alone in his study, thinking about what to do next.

“In the original novel, the revolutionary army was able to quickly capture cities and territories after the uprising, causing the empire to fall at an unimaginable speed. In addition to the corruption and incompetence of the imperial army, it was probably also related to the fact that the governors of various places were fence-sitters... There were probably many of their people in the army.

But I didn't intend to rely on ordinary troops to fight for supremacy. What's important are those top-notch imperial weapon users.

Although Akame is strong, the emperor has limitations. Brand, the user of [Evil Ghost], is a fierce general, but that guy may be hard to impress. There is also Maine of [Romantic Battery]... As expected, is Nadezhda the key?

She truly cares about the people, and I don't think 'Night Raid' will become my enemy.

The only ones left are General Bud and... Esdeath."

Iori pondered secretly, "The Ice Queen's own strength is the ceiling of "Zanaka". She has a strong and cold personality without any weaknesses. She also believes in the law of the jungle and can only communicate with force without talking nonsense.

In addition, he has a strong personal charm, is good at commanding the army, and is a smart battle fanatic.

All I can say is that it's a good thing that she has little interest in power and is simply obsessed with fighting and sadism. Otherwise, if she had a little ambition, it wouldn't be too difficult for her to become an "empress".

...Hiss, there really is no other solution, is there no other solution but to have a serious fight?"

This is probably the strongest enemy Iori has ever encountered. Even the Dragon King of the Far East is probably slightly inferior to him.

Everything else is fine, but you have to be careful with the "time and space freeze" move... But in the original book, this move seems to have been newly developed after she met the male protagonist. It should not be available at this time, right? But even so, you have to be careful.

I feel a little irritable. Is it because there are too many trivial things these days that affect my mood?

"Hey, it's almost dawn, do you four still want to take action?"

Iori groaned, and said to the dark night outside the window: "It just so happens that I'm tired of these trivial matters and need to find some opponents to vent my anger!"

boom!

The window made of fine wood shattered instantly, and among the glass fragments flying like sharp blades, a thin spike attacked Iori like a crossbow arrow.

call!

It blew through everything in the room, the broken glass cut the precious carpet, and left knife marks on the table, but the only place where Iori was was safe and sound, as if it was covered by an invisible shield.

The attacker also opened his eyes wide in shock, his pupils suddenly shrank as he looked ahead in disbelief:

The nails that she was so proud of, which could extend and retract freely and pierce steel easily, were pinched by someone's thumb and index finger and could not move forward even half an inch!

"that's all?"

Iori gave up the chant, stretched out his right hand, gathered two fingers together, and waved them together -

The second way to break the path: Fang!

呲!

A flash of cold light passed by, and a large amount of blood spurted out from the chest of the slender assassin!

Volume 57: The White Moonlight of the Seireitei: Chapter : Do You Have Many Question Marks? (Updated)

"ah--!"

With a scream, the female assassin covered her wound and flew backwards, while Iori looked at the nail that was still pinched in his hand.

Interesting ability, seems to have complete control over every part of the body, and actually actively caused the nails to fall off, which is decisive.

It’s a pity that the huge gap in strength cannot be made up by willpower and action.

Iori flashed to the window. In the darkness, in addition to the injured man, there were three figures standing on the wall, looking down at him.

Iori glanced around and nodded imperceptibly: They are indeed the Four Rakshasa Demons.
