Chapter 111 - Chapter 111

Just as Sai Akuto said, the ability "The Not-So-Distant Ideal Land" can link with the Supreme Teigu.

After a round of testing, Akuto successfully shared part of the Supreme Teigu's defensive power with several members of his harem.

"Although the more people I share with, the weaker the barrier becomes, this shield can be activated instantly.

As long as I set up a circuit so each person can trigger it upon danger—and auto-trigger in special cases—then it's practically no different from everyone being able to use the shield.

In a sense, this massively boosts the Supreme Teigu's efficiency. Compared to protecting only the imperial family, it's simply more convenient to protect whoever I want."

After finishing all main quests in the Apocalypse World, Akuto put all his focus into the main questline of the Akame World.

Following the founding ceremony, Akuto declared himself emperor, conferred the former emperor Furina as "Empress," and named Esdeath and Sayo as "Assistant Consorts," announcing the birth of a new empire.

Without a doubt, this was the best way to steady the hearts of the harem's "military." Furina holds the highest status, Esdeath is the strongest, and Sayo has the longest service record; without these arrangements, the rest would feel insecure.

After establishing the new empire, Akuto first let the nation recuperate for half a year, spreading Chang'an's technology and industry across the entire realm.

Once Akuto could use sorcery from the DxD world, the Akame World advanced even further, beginning a shift from the "industrial age" to a "magitek industrial age."

Most importantly, Akuto passed down a wide variety of sorceries from the DxD world.

"When the main quest 'Finis' was completed, the world-rules of the Akame World changed—or rather, they were eroded and became closer to the rules of the DxD world and the System.

If we can use techniques from another world, we can also use cultivation methods from that world."

After Akuto taught these methods, in just half a year, many powerhouses emerged within the empire—some reaching Mid-High-Class Devil and even High-Class Devil levels.

Unlike the Apocalypse World, the Akame World's ceiling had already been thoroughly explored; even super-Maou-class Danger Beasts had been born here. Pushing power even higher was naturally difficult.

Esdeath's base strength was roughly High-Ultimate Devil class, and with her Teigu—capable of exerting Maou-class power—she was invincible in the Akame World.

After using the "irregular chess piece," Esdeath did improve, but at full burst she could only barely touch Super-Maou class—still far inferior to Akuto after he enters Balance Breaker with Restrictions Lifted.

It can't be helped: compared to those born without mana, Esdeath's "Devil Essence" was far ahead in bloodline development—being too far ahead early also means less remaining potential.

Of course, Esdeath's talent for battle is exceptional; even if her growth margin is smaller than others, she still holds the spot of strongest beneath Akuto through sheer talent and effort.

Beyond upgrading technology, passing down cultivation, reforming institutions, and drilling the armies, Akuto didn't neglect other progress either.

Considering the "True Full Collection" done in the Apocalypse World, Akuto began gathering girls in the Akame World whose souls had unusually strong signatures.

According to the Akame World's setting, these girls are parallel-world counterparts of heroines from other worlds.

His collection effort lasted half a year. During that time, Akuto revived many girls from the original story, such as:

— Sheele's "bestie" who betrayed her;

— the foreign girl who infiltrated Night Raid's base;

— the informant girl from the Calm Street incident, who in the original was caught by the "horse-head";

— the palace informant girl whom Syura threatened into betraying Night Raid;

— and so on, and so forth.

At last, after reviving "Martha," who had been kind to Akame and left an indelible impression on her—and bringing her into the imperial bedchamber that same night—Akuto finally heard the System chime.

[Ding!]

[Congratulations to the Host for completing the hidden quest—True Full Collection: Akame World.]

[Reward acquired: Akame World — Child of the World Qualification (Red).]

[Akame World — Child of the World: After collecting all heroines, the Host is recognized by the World Will as its Child of the World.]

As a Child of the World, the Host can change world rules to a certain extent.

In addition, the Host can consume a portion of the world's origin to unlock the "life form" of chosen lifeforms.

Once a life form is unlocked, that being will instantly grow to this world's growth limit.

Note 1: Unlocking the original male protagonist's life form costs no world origin, as it has already been unlocked once.

Note 2: The Akame World's growth limit is Super-Maou class.

The very next day, Akuto began his final conquest of the Akame World.

Esdeath led the armies north to subdue the northern tribes left uncleansed last time.

Najenda led the armies south to subdue Nanyue and the South Sea island nations.

Cornelia led the armies west, following the Silk Road toward the Mediterranean, the Middle East, and Europe.

Sayo led the armies east—first Korea, then Fusō (Japan)—and then across the Bering Strait to rendezvous with Esdeath, before jointly conquering North and South America.

Every one of Akuto's retainers possessed "quasi-Great General"-class strength; all enemies along the routes collapsed at first contact.

This wasn't merely a power stomp; it was an age-and-national-power stomp!

How could agrarian-era states possibly resist an empire on the cusp of a magitek industrial age?

With teleportation arrays, in just one month Akuto completed his conquest of every other nation in the Akame World!

[Ding!~]

[Main Quest I complete: Within two years, establish your own power.]

[Completion stage: Found an empire and conquer the world.]

[Reward acquired: Supreme Emperor Privileges (Red).]

[Supreme Emperor Privileges (Red): As emperor, the Host cannot use low-tier abilities.

One random ability is automatically upgraded to "Red," and three abilities are automatically upgraded to "Gold."

In addition, all existing system rewards below Purple have been auto-promoted to Purple.

From now on, all abilities below Purple will automatically rise to Purple.]

[Ding!~]

["Avatar of God — Vāmana" quality has been promoted to "Red."]

[Ding!~]

["True Secret Sword Arts (Water)," "Sage's Body," and "Slime Symbiote" have been promoted to Gold.]

Approximate harvests from the Akame World:

Blue:

Innate Talent — Fatherly as a Mountain (Blue, now Purple): When facing loli-type characters, further draws their attention and affection. Bearer of this talent is destined to be adored by lolis.

Title — Savior of Maidens (Blue, now Purple): Any girl yearning for help will naturally rely on the Host. Once aided, her favorability skyrockets.

Purple:

Judgment of the Ten Kings (Red Dragon Emperor ver.): Integrates Seryu's "Judgment of the Ten Kings" techniques into the Red Dragon Emperor's gauntlet's Balance Breaker armor, enhancing combat options in varied situations.

True Secret Sword Arts — Water (Purple, now Gold): An evolved sword art that inherits and strengthens all functions of the Secret Sword Arts and True Water Breathing. Further amplifies the Host's sword forms and bloodline limits.

When casting "True Secret Sword Arts (Water)," the user can add different Breathing forms as needed; conversely, Breathing forms can call corresponding Secret Sword techniques.

Compendium of Teigu Forging & Restoration (Purple): The First Emperor's grand compendium for forging Teigu. With the right Danger Beast materials, corresponding Teigu can be manufactured.

Sage's Body (Purple, now Gold): "Sage" here refers not to the Naruto world, but the DxD world. DxD Sages are born with Sen-Power and coexist with the Dao. They possess innate advantages in both sorcery and close-quarters combat. Awakening the Sage's Body drastically boosts life force, etc.

Bloodline Infusion Method (Purple): Using bodily fluids as a medium, infuse one's bloodline into another's body to help raise their aptitude and life-form tier.

Gold:

Longinus — Empress of the Instant Frost (Gold): Companion Longinus to "Eternal Ice Princess." Wields ultimate ice; within absolute frozen time, a single instant is eternity—the Emperor of the Instant is the Emperor Eternal. Legend says the Ice Princess is the Ice Emperor's consort; her power comes from the Emperor and is an inseparable part of him.

Authority — Camel (Gold): Grants god-tier kicking and lower-body technique; kicking power and durability soar, combat sense reaches divine levels, pain sensitivity drops, bleeding stops, and impact feedback is minimized.

Note: Improved by the System—usable without injuries. The worse the injuries, the greater the buff.

Explosion Magic — Anti-Domain Specialization (Gold): An evolved form of Explosion Magic (Megumin version). Beyond limitless scaling with longer chants, it gains "anti-domain" traits—overwhelmingly restrains barriers, worlds, field-type magics, etc.

Atavistic Leviathan Bloodline (Gold): Further purified, then atavistically awakened. Beyond surpassing the First Leviathan in purity and power, it gains an atavistic evolution route.

By coupling with female devils, the Host acquires their bloodline powers; the stronger the partner's bloodline and power, the higher the collection rate. Upon meeting thresholds, it can evolve toward the "Primordial Arch-Devil Bloodline," which gathers all ways of heaven and earth before differentiating anew.

Supreme Teigu (Gold): Strictly speaking, all Teigu evolved akin to DxD Sacred Gears, with the Supreme Teigu achieving the highest grade and leaping in essence.

At present, even when the protagonist is outside the Akame World, he carries a peak Super-Maou-class all-aspects shield. As the world's intelligent souls grow stronger, this still has room to rise.

Concept Ability — The Not-So-Distant Ideal Land (Gold): Grants those connected to the Host defensive power equal to the Host's tier.

Anywhere the Host's power can project is the Host's protection range.

Can link with the Supreme Teigu to grant connected allies its all-around shield.

Enhanced Slime Symbiote (now Gold): Upgraded by the Emperor Privilege—greater protection and utility; can even serve as alchemical/forging material, far surpassing Orichalcum, the strongest magic metal in the Akame World.

Red:

Supreme Emperor Privileges (Red): As emperor, the Host's rewards will never fall below Purple; now and henceforth, any reward beneath Purple is auto-promoted to Purple. One random ability is raised to Red; three abilities to Gold.

Akame World — Child of the World: Same general effects as in the Apocalypse World—massive combat buffs while in-world and the authority to unlock local growth limits.

Avatar of God — Vāmana (Red): One of Viṣṇu's ten avatāra of salvation (details omitted).

Randomly promoted via Emperor Privilege; includes abilities such as "Disguise," "Giantification/Minification," "World-Crossing," and "Contract."

(The Akame World's main storyline ends here. It may be mentioned again later, but there won't be major plotlines.)
