The world codenamed Akame ga Kill!.
Crossing the portal.
Najenda, Akame, Kurome, Leone, Chelsea, Mine.
The six women emerged.
A month had passed.
The six wished to take a look.
To be precise.
Kurome didn't particularly want to return, but as reconciled sisters, if her elder sister went back, she naturally followed.
Kurome wasn't invisible—she was the epitome of a sister complex.
As for Esdeath and Sheele?
Esdeath trained her Cosmo daily, leaving no time to return.
Sheele, her heart now fulfilled, was the model devout believer.
Every day.
Beyond training her Cosmo, Sheele spent her time praying as fervently as a nun.
Outside the imperial capital.
The six women stood, gazing into the distance.
"The world…"
Mine blinked her large eyes, looking up, murmuring, "It's as if it's completely changed."
"Indeed!"
Leone slung an arm around Najenda's shoulders, sighing, "Once, no matter the time, it always felt like a dark cloud loomed over the sky. Now? That cloud has vanished."
"The entire world seems to have settled into peace."
"Hm~~~"
"It's truly different."
Chelsea sensed the change and nodded in agreement.
"Let's go."
Najenda smiled. "Let's see the capital and what changes have occurred."
"Alright."
The other four nodded, following Najenda's lead.
Kurome trailed behind her sister, holding 'Kurome's snack bag,' nibbling on sweets and occasionally feeding her sister.
Seeing her sister's happy expression as she ate, Kurome smiled brightly, equally content.
"That's…"
"His Majesty's statue!"
Mine blinked, spotting the colossal statue, hundreds of meters tall, where the imperial palace once stood. She immediately bowed devoutly.
The others followed, bowing reverently.
Moments later.
They raised their heads.
"The capital now feels entirely different."
"Indeed!"
Mine and Chelsea chatted among themselves.
Clearly.
Only a month had passed.
Yet…
In that short time, the world seemed to have undergone earth-shattering changes.
Inside the capital.
The once-numb citizens, who moved like walking corpses, now wore vibrant smiles, radiating joy and satisfaction.
Just watching them showed how content they were with their lives.
"Is this the Empire now?"
Najenda paused, quietly feeling the capital's new essence.
Tranquility.
Harmony.
Serenity.
The entire capital brimmed with this warm atmosphere, infused with faith in their supreme Majesty.
Faintly.
At the very least.
In Najenda's gaze, she could clearly see wisps of pure, jade-like energy slowly gathering into the towering statue.
In truth.
Such scenes unfolded not just in the Empire but across the world.
No longer were there distinctions like the Empire, eastern islands, southern archipelagos, western kingdoms, or northern tundras.
All nations had vanished.
All barriers had dissolved.
Under Ker's leadership with the Specters, the world had been unified.
Now, there was only one nation—the Faith Nation.
Managed by a Pope chosen by Ker.
Would the Faith Nation face issues?
Heh heh heh~~~
Sorry!
This wasn't some mundane world where people schemed under the guise of divine will. The god here was real. Try any tricks? Divine punishment would descend instantly.
"Akame, do you see it?"
Najenda turned to Akame, asking.
Akame glanced up, nodding. "I see it. That's the faith power Pandora spoke of."
"Indeed."
"In just a month."
"The entire world has transformed completely."
Najenda surveyed her surroundings once more.
No matter the underlying logic.
The people were truly enjoying peaceful, harmonious lives filled with gentleness and serenity.
That was enough.
"Alright, we've seen it. Time to head back."
"We can't lag behind His Majesty or embarrass him."
"Exactly."
After their tour, as dusk fell, Najenda led the group out of the city, preparing to return to Elysium.
All along.
The Empire they'd held dear had utterly changed.
Thus.
The past should be fully let go. From now on, they'd strive for His Majesty.
As dependents, working for their divine lord was only natural.
The god of darkness brought peace, serenity, light, and hope to a dark world.
Yet!
Those so-called gods of light never bestowed any mercy. In a way, it was laughable, even bitterly ironic.
"Najenda, Akame, Kurome, Leone, Mine, Chelsea."
At that moment.
As the six prepared to leave, a voice reached their ears.
Ker, not clad in her Underworld divine Surplice but in a long dress, stepped out of thin air before them.
"Ker?"
Najenda asked, "What's wrong? Need our help with something?"
"Yes."
Ker's lips curved into a smile. "This world's arrangements are mostly complete. In five days, His Majesty will anchor the world. Before then, we need to set up more barriers. Since you're here, help me."
Without giving them a chance to refuse, Ker swiftly led Najenda and the others away.
You came, and you want to leave?
Time to work!
