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

"That won't do. A move that you can shout out loud is very important in battle!"

"I would never yell or scream during a fight..."

Akame didn't care.

She's the kind of person who's very rare; she never shouts out the names of her moves, which is probably related to her fighting style.

"How can someone be a good Assassin if they keep such a low profile?"

Iori said earnestly.

"You've got it backwards, haven't you? It's precisely because you have to keep a low profile that you can become an assassin."

"It's okay, let me think of one for you..."

"You always seem to get excited about some really weird and wonderful places."

Akame looked at Iori with a doting expression, as if she couldn't do anything about him, saying, "He's like a little kid."

Iori disagreed with her statement: "Don't you know whether I'm a child or not?"

"……Hello!"

Akame subtly stepped on Iori's foot, then glanced at Athena in a flustered manner, only breathing a sigh of relief when she saw that Athena didn't seem to understand.

Iori couldn't help but smile, but quickly suppressed her laughter and said solemnly to Athena, "Thank you again, Athena... Akame has received your help in many ways, and I will definitely repay you."

"You're welcome."

Athena turned around to face Iori, but Akame couldn't see her expression.

The petite, silver-haired goddess deliberately ran her fingertips across her delicate lips.

"I am quite satisfied with... this mission. Consider the enjoyment you derive from it your reward, Aizen Iori."

"Hehe... Those who know me well know that I have always been a generous and magnanimous person."

Iori's gaze was indifferent, but the corners of her mouth curled up: "If I don't express my gratitude properly, how can I let people know that I reward those who have done good deeds?"

"Now, what kind of reward do you desire?"

Ha, you think you can kill me?

If that's the case, I'll be liberated!

……

"Well……"

Suppressed sounds stirred in the darkness.

This is a hidden space that no one can find. It was built by the power of the gods in Iori's "shadow". It was originally Athena's residence, but now it has become her cage!

"Woo~"

The silver-haired girl was bound here by some unseen force, her slender arms and legs unable to move, and she twisted her body in distress as if she were itching all over but unable to reach it.

Sometimes it seemed like convulsions, sometimes like a struggle; in its most intense moments, she resembled a stranded fish, utterly devoid of the dignity of a goddess. Occasionally, her two thighs would even come together, writhing and rubbing as if she needed to relieve herself…

Soaring high, soaring, sprinting, falling—powerless and helpless, thrown into the abyss.

Unable to resist or break free, each attempt to rise up only leads to a more violent fall.

Like prey toyed with by a hunter, like a white rabbit ravaged by the claws of a gray wolf, like a flying insect trapped in a spider web.

She could no longer control her own body and could only be manipulated by others. However, her opponent knew nothing of pity and gave her no chance to breathe. The monstrous stamina continued to fiercely conquer city after city, making the earth tremble and causing floods to rage.

Even the willpower of a god cannot withstand such torture. If she could pass out, that would be fine, but tragically, she didn't even have the right to escape. Under the extreme stimulation and all-around physical sensation, there was simply no room to dodge.

They were oppressed, exploited, and bound like this...

However, within this seemingly merciless action, one can sense a strange tenderness.

However, this gentleness was not for her, but for the girl with black hair and red eyes.

That utterly despicable man, while pleasing himself, was also trying to please the female assassin.

A gentle caress, a soft whisper, a comforting body temperature... just like a dish, a blend of spices, even if the food itself is spicy, can bring a very enjoyable experience.

However, only Akame can have a wonderful experience; no matter what kind of gentleness it is, it is not something that the silver-haired goddess can have.

Because all she can feel is the most direct nerve stimulation and pleasure; as for those sweet words that are like seasonings, she can't hear a single one.

Her eyes, ears, nose... her senses were sealed off by the demonic path, and her hands and feet were bound. Because of this lack of freedom, she could only rely on touch. Whether she wanted to or not, she would concentrate her attention, and then...

It's real hell!

On her lower abdomen was a bright red magical seal that allowed her to share her senses, which meant she could only receive physical sensations from Akame unilaterally. She was deprived of her ability to move and couldn't even groan loudly!

In one world, two older magical girls used this technique to subdue Illya and Kuro. Ordinary magic was naturally useless against Athena, but for Iori, upgrading and modifying it was not difficult, and she eventually created this execution magic.

Keep going... You must keep going!

In Athena's chaotic mind, a concept called dignity still barely existed.

We absolutely cannot beg for mercy from Iori. Inventing such a perverse form of torture is a sign that he has run out of options.

Just hold on... As long as you hold on, you've won on a mental level!

That man actually lost!

"Well!!!"

As if an electric current was coursing through her body, Athena clenched her thighs, her muscles tensed, and she nearly lost consciousness.

'No...this can't go on!'

She was afraid.

It's not the behavior itself that's frightening, but the consequences.

If Iori would cause her great pain, then there would be no need to dwell on this. But the opposite is true. Not only does she not feel pain, but she also experiences supreme pleasure—disgusting, yet undeniable.

The impact was so intense that she forgot who she was, and it wasn't just the first time... she was even more sensitive the second time, which made Athena realize that this kind of thing wasn't something that could be "used to" and then be fine.

As time goes on, the situation will only get worse.

That man was like a monster!

Without a doubt, Aizen Iori possesses both boundless stamina, unwavering will, and a thirst for revenge... He will absolutely not let her go.

That's why she was afraid, because she felt that if things continued like this, sooner or later... she would no longer be herself!

……

"..."

She lay quietly on the man's chest, the two of them covered only by a thin sheet, her fair shoulders exposed, her fingers unconsciously stroking the man's palm.

Wow, it's huge!

—That's the impression the man's hands gave her.

Think back, there seems to be a similar scene just now: he could grab both of his wrists with one hand.

"……Pooh!"

As if thinking of something, the female assassin's face, which had not yet faded from its flush, turned blush again, revealing a rare girlish demeanor.

"What are you thinking about?"

Stroking her smooth skin, Iori asked a question that seemed rather odd.

"I feel like nothing matters anymore... On the contrary, I'm not thinking about anything."

Whether it's sensory acuity or physical stamina, she can keep up with Iori's pace.

The only drawback is that the female assassin is often reserved and only cooperates when she is distracted, allowing Iori to run rampant.

—That's why Iori really enjoys seeing her lost in thought.

The experience was so wonderful that Akame was worried she would become a useless person who couldn't live without Iori.

That won't do!

Although I've entrusted myself to this man, it doesn't mean I should leave everything to him. Ultimately, I have to walk my own path in life, and everyone has certain responsibilities that shouldn't be delegated to others.

Take Akame as an example. She likes to help the weak and despises the dark and corrupt power holders. If there is any reason for her to pursue power, it is undoubtedly this.

As for her personally... her biggest responsibility is probably Kurohime. As her older sister, she has to take good care of her until Kurohime gets married, has children, and has her own family.

Iori can't help with this—that's what Akame thought.

"When are we going back? It's been so long since I've seen Sera and Esdeath, I miss them a little."

She couldn't resist Iori's demands, nor could she resist the temptation of pleasure... so she could only try other methods to divert Iori's attention.

In the days to come, if Iori can focus more on others, she will be more at ease and won't have to worry about Iori's gentleness eroding her ambition.

"By the way, what's that you drew on the back of my hand?"

"Command Seals are just a high-purity magical resource. It's just an experiment, don't worry about it."

Iori gently pressed her palm against her soft belly: "How about we draw another one?"

Double the enjoyment!

Silver-haired virgin goddess, you'd better thank me!

"...Sometimes you have a really sinister smile on your face, Iori."

"Huh? Really?"

“Yes, that expression…it’s just like Esdeath’s.”

"This is what they call 'couples looking alike'."

Iori whispered in Akame's ear, "Let's do our best too!"

Chapter 442 Saito's Resolve.

The Seireitei is bustling today, because in addition to Esdeath continuing to guard Hueco Mundo, the last remaining force has officially returned in triumph.

Not only were all combat objectives achieved this time, but the casualty rate was also unexpectedly low, which further enhanced Aizen Iori's prestige among the Thirteen Divisions as the Commander-in-Chief. After all, more than half of them had served under him or fought alongside him, and there were quite a few soldiers who admired his heroic demeanor.

However, the middle and senior-level personnel with certain positions were far from happy, as an unexpected incident cast a shadow over their hearts.

That was Saito, the immortal captain who had gone to war with Iori and returned safely. This veteran captain had suffered a fatal wound in battle and was also infected with Hollowfication (if it can be considered as a disease). He was supposed to die on the battlefield, but Iori discovered the research data and equipment left behind by the notorious criminal Tsunayoshi Tokinada, successfully stabilizing Saito's condition and miraculously healing his injuries.

This was originally a good thing, but the fact that a Shinigami has become Hollowfied is undoubtedly a very blasphemous thing in the eyes of the Chamber of 46, and even crosses the bottom line of the Seireitei. If it is left unchecked, it will taint the purity of the Shinigami and shake the whole situation.

In particular, this power comes from the research of Tsunayoshi Tokinada. It is unlikely that that guy would have created Hollowfication for the good of Soul Society. Moreover, the Arrancar created under the same system have already posed a great threat to Soul Society, so this is by no means an exaggeration!

[Room 46] This time it's not just making trouble; it's genuinely reasonable and justified, and it even has the moral high ground. The team leaders can't directly oppose it; they have to admit that this is indeed an issue that cannot be ignored.

However, there are many different opinions on how to handle this matter, or rather, how to deal with Saito, who is immortal.

A more extreme approach would be to simply imprison Saito in "Mugen" forever and then preserve the ethereal technique at the highest level.

However, most people disagreed with doing so, not because they were kind-hearted, but because they had to consider how much trouble such treatment of a veteran captain would cause in Seireitei.

With a legitimate reason, Saito's two old friends, Yamamoto and Unohana, shouldn't say anything. The five noble families also have no connection to Saito, so it should be a very easy situation to handle, and there's nothing to worry about. If it were in the past, Saito would definitely have faced a thousand-year imprisonment!

However, now, after a series of changes and personnel reshuffles, the political landscape of Seireitei is quite different.

Because of Tokina's act of "sacrificing family for the greater good," the Tsunayashiro family suffered a severe blow, instantly falling from the de facto number one family to the bottom of the five noble families, even weaker than the sparsely populated Shiba family.

Previously, Tsunayoshi had firmly controlled the [Forty-Six Chambers]. By suddenly creating such a large power vacuum, the new additions were mostly from the other major noble families, and no one could have absolute power.

As a subordinate organization of the "46 Chambers", the Thirteenth Division also underwent a major reshuffle at this time. The younger generation, led by Aizen Iori, clearly showed a rising trend. This group fought several large-scale battles in succession, and it can be said that they risked their lives for the Soul Society.

Having just quelled a rebellion, at the height of their power, they ordered the arrest of a captain who had narrowly escaped death?

Of course, the Thirteenth Division has its own rules and regulations. Apart from people like Kenpachi Zaraki, most of them have undergone professional training. Even if the Forty-Six Chambers forcibly arrest people, there shouldn't be any mutiny or anything like that.

However, even if you want to arrest someone, you need a reason, right?

Using "hollowfication" as a charge is not enough to arrest Saito, because she has not actually done anything wrong. It was Aizen Iori who caused her current special state!

There's no reason why Saito, who is immortal and an "actual victim," should be arrested, while Iori, who used the holographic technology without authorization, can go unpunished.

So, should we arrest both of them?

—Just thinking about this gives everyone a headache!

The Third Division, the Seventh Division, the Tenth Division, the Expeditionary Force... Even without considering Iori's connections and background, there are four divisions that he and Saito can directly influence, and all of them are relatively strong. If they are imprisoned, the morale of these four divisions will definitely be unstable.
