"No problem, I guarantee I'll handle it cleanly."
Without the slightest hesitation, Niu agreed immediately; she had no choice but to.
Daidas looked at Niu with envy. He had no interest in royalty, but killing the current heir to the throne would definitely earn him a lot of experience points.
"Now that the deed is done, it's natural to clean up the mess. Your strength is still a bit lacking, so I'll give you a little bit of power to help Esdeath stabilize the situation as soon as possible."
'Swish~'
The three dark seeds then sank directly into the bodies of Riva, Daidas, and Niu.
These are three dark seeds that Kong Yang extracted all of his magic power to condense. After fusing them, he can obtain the magic power of the lowest-level demon and become a half-demon god.
Of course, this demon god is not a top-level demon god like Kong Yang, but rather a cannon fodder like the red demon god among the lower-level demon gods.
"Ah! What kind of power is this? It's so strong!"
"Unbelievable, I can actually become this strong."
"It's absolutely unbelievable."
Riva himself remained unchanged, but a faint dark magic emanated from his body. Daidas's muscles swelled to nearly double their size, transforming him into a muscular giant. As for Niu, she grew horns resembling those of a red demon god.
In a sense, they were not even cannon fodder. These dark seeds were simply Kong Yang's condensation of all his magic and darkness into seeds, which he then gave to them.
Although he gained dark magic and a little bit of the power of the demon race, this power was no different from mere remnants.
The reason for doing this is that Kong Yang was already prepared to let the World Tree Sapling devour the void energy in his body, because the speed of starting from zero is far higher than the speed of gradually consuming void energy.
Moreover, with the purging of all ministers and their cronies in the capital and even the empire, it was time for Kong Yang to reap the benefits of the negative influence.
Given Esdeath's personality, she would definitely start the largest war ever.
Chapter Twenty-Six: Magic Starts from Zero!
After killing the minister, Kong Yang simply handed over the rest of the matter to Esdeath.
Upon returning to the General's Mansion, Kong Yang turned around and entered the small world. He then allowed the World Tree Sapling to devour the void energy within his body, including the magic power within him.
Within this small world, Kong Yang truly experienced what 'loss' meant.
The magic that was originally yours gradually disappears from you, and this process is truly unbearable.
This process lasted for several hours. Kong Yang, who had broken through to the level of a Demon King, suddenly fell to the bottom and became a person without any magic power.
However, this is not too bad. Although his magic power has been reset to zero, it does not mean that Kong Yang needs to upgrade his magic power level by level again.
Since Kong Yang is still an eighth-tier powerhouse, only he has lost his magic power, he only needs to restore his magic power, and there is no 'bottleneck' in this process.
Just like before, each advancement required time and effort, especially when breaking through to the Demon King level.
But things are different now. Kong Yang can quickly increase his magic power, not only quickly, but also without any obstacles until he returns to his original magic power level.
If magic is water, then the body is the container that holds that water.
Now that Kong Yang has reached the eighth rank, the process of replenishing his magic power is naturally much simpler.
'Dad, are you alright?'
Just as Kong Yang was pondering, the voice of the World Tree Sapling came over.
"I'm fine. Besides, there's nothing wrong with starting over. You can't build something new without breaking down the old."
'Daddy, if I grow up a little more, I can help you!'
"You've already done me a huge favor."
Kong Yang reassured the World Tree seedling, saying, "That's the truth."
Without the World Tree sapling, it would take Kong Yang far too much time and effort to completely eliminate the void energy.
Now things are much better. Putting everything else aside, all we need to do is absorb all the negative energy in this world. While we won't be able to return to our former glory, things won't be as awkward as before. The lowest level of magic was simply too weak.
"Your Highness, everything is ready."
At this moment, Laura came over and said to Kong Yang.
"Okay, let's go then."
Kong Yang said slowly, "Although my magic power has been reduced to zero, I still bear two original sins, so it won't be easy for me to increase my magic power."
In this small world, everything is lacking except for beautiful women. There are beauties from all races, and satisfying lust here couldn't be easier.
Moreover, Kong Yang now possesses the original sin of gluttony, which is incredibly powerful.
Kong Yang can enhance himself by absorbing other things, whether it's increasing his magic power or improving his physical attributes.
Within the small world, there were quite a few corpses of dangerous species, all of which were killed by Kong Yang during the march. They were originally intended to be cooked into delicacies, but now they have become Kong Yang's nutritious meals.
Upon arriving at the manor, there was an enormous table laden with all sorts of dangerous and delicious ingredients.
Kong Yang picked up a piece of thigh meat and took a bite. It tasted pretty good. As he swallowed the meat, Kong Yang could feel that he had gained a trace of magic power. Although it was not much, it was definitely there.
Kong Yang was immediately satisfied and started eating heartily.
The surrounding maid demons took away the plates one by one and then brought out new dishes.
Kong Yang doesn't need to gain too much magic power through gluttony, nor can he gain too much. He only needs enough magic power to return to the world of "Akame ga Kill!".
After a major purge, the entire capital city will definitely be filled with negative energy once again.
That's the real feast; this is just an appetizer.
Kong Yang spent the entire afternoon in a state of 'binge eating'. In the evening, he didn't rest either, directly gathering a group of beautiful women for an all-night battle.
On the second day, when the sun was high in the sky, Kong Yang slowly opened his eyes.
Looking at the beautiful women around him, and his own magic power, which had returned to the level of a lower-level demon, Kong Yang smiled with satisfaction.
After getting dressed, Kong Yang left his 'battlefield'.
"You finally decided to come out?"
As soon as I came out, I saw Chun in the living room.
Once inside the small world, she spent most of her time in the forging room. In the world of "Another World's Brothel Review", Kong Yang also collected quite a few precious metals. After all, if you have money, it would be a waste not to spend it.
This greatly excited Chun after she arrived here, and she became completely engrossed in the craze for forging weapons, unable to extricate herself.
"Why are you out here? That's rare to see you."
"Tch, I heard from Ais that you came back, that she dragged you out, but who knew you'd start messing around as soon as you got back."
"Uh~"
Kong Yang suddenly felt a little embarrassed, as if Qi Zi had caught her husband favoring his concubine.
"I heard from Ais that you were seriously injured. How are you now?"
"It's recovered, but all the magic power is gone, so I need to start cultivating again."
"Start training again? That's fine, anyway, you monster, you'll recover in a few months."
Unlike Ais, Chun didn't take it seriously. After all, Kong Yang's strength was improving too fast, so even if it was reset to zero, the improvement would be slower, but not by much.
Moreover, after glancing at the room Kong Yang came out of, the smell from inside could be smelled through it.
As Kong Yang's first bedmate, she understood the enhancement method similar to 'dual cultivation'. This night of recklessness definitely restored a lot of magic power.
"By the way, you've arrived in a new world now, right?"
"Yes."
"How about it?"
"It's not good. It's a very low-end world, filled with darkness and deceit. I'm not interested in this world."
"There's a world you're not interested in? Is it because there aren't enough beautiful women?"
"There are plenty of beautiful women, but my taste has become too picky."
"Wow, our Prince Kongyang is actually picky about food! I'm really astonished."
Don't give me that.
Seeing Kong Yang's embarrassed expression, Chun immediately smiled.
Since Kong Yang obtained the complete Gate of Babylon, he no longer needed weapons.
This made Chun think that she could no longer help Kong Yang, and she even fell into a slump. However, Kong Yang proved her value with his actions in the end.
As Kong Yang's subordinate, she is not only a blacksmith, but also Kong Yang's war chariot.
Chapter Twenty-Seven: Night Raid on the Meeting, the Great Alliance of Aliens!
At the new base, which was raided at night, everyone gathered for a meeting.
Sitting in the main seat, Najendan looked serious and anxious, as did everyone else around her.
A week ago, news of the ministers being sanctioned, the young emperor abdicating, and the new Queen Esdeath ascending the throne spread throughout the world.
But most people were skeptical, because if ministers were so easy to kill, they wouldn't have been able to wreak havoc in the capital for so many years. In most people's eyes, this was an imperial conspiracy.
They wanted to use this as a pretext to make some people believe that the empire was in turmoil, so that they could take advantage of the situation.
The reason is quite simple: it's no secret that Esdeath loves war and is a war fanatic, especially as the various foreign races, enemies of the Empire throughout history, have experienced this firsthand.
Therefore, everyone chose to wait and see, including the night raid.
However, as time has passed, the capital city has undergone an unprecedented transformation.
The minister's faction was completely wiped out. In the capital, many people died every day. After all, the minister's group was not just one or two, but a large number of noble factions.
These people gained a great deal of benefits and power while the minister was alive.
Now that Esdeath has come to power, she has concentrated all the power in her hands, which has led to countless nobles rebelling.
What followed was a bloody massacre. Esdeath was no minister and wouldn't try to bargain with them.
You must obey any order; disobeying it, or even attempting to resist, will result in death.
Esdeath directly applied the iron-fisted policies of military management to the administration of the state, which can be considered a drastic measure for an empire whose very foundations were rotten.
However, in the long run, it will inevitably fail in the end, that goes without saying.
However, Kong Yang didn't care about this, because the world had already sounded the death knell.
In Kong Yang's eyes, this vast, thousand-year-old empire was nothing more than a toy. No matter how Esdeath messed with it, it didn't matter, because it would be destroyed in the end anyway.
"Gentlemen, the empire has changed hands overnight, and Esdeath has implemented an iron-fisted policy. What should we do?"
“Boss, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with it. Look, now all those corrupt officials who followed the ministers are dead. The empire will be much more peaceful from now on.”
“Leonai, things are not that simple. While iron-fisted policies can indeed eliminate malignant tumors, this kind of authoritarian rule will soon repeat the same mistakes, and in an even more terrible way.”
Najenda looked worried. Everyone else was fine, but this was Esdeath.
If a warmonger is allowed to rule a country, then that country will ultimately face only one fate: becoming a graveyard of war.
No country can withstand constant wars. A country is not just an army, but it is also much more than that. There are simply too many things to manage for a country.
Politics, economics, society, science and technology, ideology, education, culture, resources, and so on. Each of these categories can be broken down into countless subcategories. And this only covers the internal aspects; it doesn't even include the external aspects.
"What should we do, boss?"
Leone also sighed; she wasn't suited to using her brain, she was only suited to charging in recklessly.
"The headquarters of the revolutionary army is now planning to launch an uprising."
"Revolt? Are you kidding me? The Empire is currently under the control of two monsters, Kong Yang and Esdeath."
"However, the Empire has also lost a Bud, so they believe this is the end."
"That monster, how could it possibly be a match for us?"
Leone's face was filled with fear; that night was still vivid in her memory.
A complete and utter defeat, a battle where they were utterly crushed and utterly humiliated.
Even with so many Imperial Arms users attacking together, they were no match for him. He single-handedly stormed into the Imperial Palace, killed a minister, and single-handedly supported Esdeath. Such a person is far more terrifying than any minister.
The ministers, who were incredibly difficult and impossible for the revolutionary army to deal with, were easily dealt with by the enemy.
Now these guys are going to gather together to fight such a monster? Isn't that just courting death?
