"Indeed, war is the best place to feast."

Kong Yang felt a sense of joy and satisfaction. It had only been a short time, yet he had already improved his strength by a significant margin.

Furthermore, more than half of them are still alive. After burying them all, they can definitely reach the highest level, or even the Demon King level.

Once he returns to the Demon King level, Kong Yang will once again transform into a walking natural disaster.

"It's over, everything is over."

The revolutionary leader collapsed to the ground; now, everything was over.

The revolutionary army, which had developed for so many years, was finished. All its efforts and plans had come to nothing today.

The reason for all this is Esdeath's abnormally powerful strength.

Esdeath was slightly out of breath; the three consecutive powerful attacks had almost depleted her magic power.

After all, there are still these ice knights, and their existence will consume her magic power.

Logically speaking, that should have been the end of her story.

However, Esdeath wouldn't stop there. She took out two potions from her pocket, both of them being high-magic potions, which Kong Yang had given her.

'Gurgle~'

He drank both bottles in one gulp, and his depleted magic power began to recover rapidly.

"Now, let the final celebration begin, Frigid Hell!"

'Boom~'

Another wave of extreme cold began to spread outwards from Esdeath.

And this time it was even more terrifying than the last. In the already frozen area, wherever the cold air reached, the ground was immediately covered with dense ice spikes.

'Puff~ Puff~ Puff~'

People were riddled with holes, their bodies riddled with piercings, and because of the extreme cold, their flesh was stuck to the ice picks. To get off the ice picks, you had to tear off at least a large chunk of flesh.

Some injured or unconscious people were frozen solid by the extreme cold, saying goodbye to this world forever.

People fell like wheat, indiscriminately, because it was an indiscriminate massacre that spread rapidly and there was no way to escape. For anyone caught in the crossfire, death was a stroke of luck.

Kong Yang looked at Esdeath with some surprise. The power of that attack was truly impressive, and it was also a god-tier skill for clearing out enemies.

However, this is not the end of the story.

All the ice knights covered in extreme cold suddenly had dense ice spikes sprout from their ice armor, and their size increased by a third.

Then the next round of slaughter began, and with each attack, fewer and fewer people survived.

Especially now, under this wave of freezing temperatures, there are less than 200,000 people still alive.

And these two hundred thousand were being slaughtered at a visible rate by the enhanced Ice Knights.

Kong Yang, atop Vimana, took in all of this and was deeply moved.

This is the original sin of weakness. Although Esdeath only has the strength of a high-level demon, with the help of her demonic transformation and the amplification of the queen's chess pieces, plus the fact that these soldiers are just ordinary people, all these elements combined to present this grand feast.

If this were taken in the world of "High School DxD," even with the same number of people and circumstances, Esdeath would never have been able to accomplish this feat.

This world is too weak, while Esdeath has obtained power that exceeds the limits of this world, so it is easy for her to crush it.

But if the world were different, it wouldn't be like this.

The most obvious example is Esdeath's signature move, 'Mahavamsa', a divine technique that can freeze time and space. It's usable in this world, but it would probably be difficult to use in other worlds.

The amount of magic consumed will increase exponentially, while the duration of the freeze will be greatly reduced.

This is a manifestation of the world's own 'strength'.

Chapter Thirty-Seven: Akame's Plea!

'Boom~'

Above Vimana, Kong Yang suddenly emitted a terrifying pressure.

At that moment, the magic of darkness shot straight into the sky, turning the entire area into night. The sun was forced to set, and a bright moon hung high in the sky.

Kong Yang regained his Demon King-level strength, and his body was once again filled with abyssal demonic power.

The Demon God race are the darlings of darkness. Their strength is enhanced under the cover of night, and powerful Demon Gods can even turn day into night. Of course, only the most elite Demon Gods can achieve this.

(P.S.: Meliodas's mentor Chandler could do that~)

The red-eyed and black-eyed lovers standing to the side, witnessing Kong Yang's moment, were speechless with shock.

It turns out that the most terrifying and powerful person was not Esdeath, but the man in front of her.

On the battlefield at that moment, Esdeath watched all this with a smile on her face. An army of 1.3 million was completely annihilated in her hands, without exception, all of them were killed.

At this moment, looking around at the darkness that had turned into night, and at Kong Yang's figure that resembled a demon god.

Esdeath understood that Kong Yang's strength had recovered significantly, though she didn't know the exact extent, it was definitely beyond her imagination.

"This feeling is still the most reassuring."

The most wonderful feeling is that the magical power is as terrifying as an abyss, so powerful that everything is under control.

It is precisely because we lost our power that we remember it all the more vividly when we regain it.

However, having regained Demon Lord-level magic power, it will be much more difficult to advance to the level of a Transcendent.

Alternatively, it could involve launching a world-ending massacre, but that's clearly impractical, too time-consuming, and too troublesome.

Another factor is the passage of time. As the embodiment of the two original sins, even if Kong Yang does nothing, he will subtly absorb the sins of this world. As time goes by, Kong Yang's strength will naturally become stronger and stronger.

'Boom~'

At that moment, an ice pillar rose up from below, carrying Esdeath upwards.

Looking at Kong Yang at this moment, Esdeath climbed back onto Vimana.

"It's back to normal?"

"Some parts have been recovered."

"How much has been recovered?"

"Demon King level".

Esdeath laughed, and Kong Yang laughed too.

Akame and Kurome, who were just standing by, were full of questions. What were these two talking about?

Reaching the edge of Vimana, Kong Yang looked calmly at the frozen ruins below.

'Swish~'

Now that everyone is dead, Kong Yang has summoned back the Gate of Sin. The enormous Gate of Darkness rapidly shrank and eventually merged into Kong Yang's body.

"Now that everything is over, let's clean up the battlefield, Yi Yan - Great Spiral Wheel Yu!"

'Rumble~'

A giant spiral, the size of a millstone and burning with crimson flames, crashed onto the battlefield.

In an instant, a mushroom cloud rose from the ground, and the heat and explosive force instantly enveloped the area.

This scene left Akame and Kurome staring wide-eyed in disbelief. In just a few tens of minutes today, their understanding of the world had been shattered time and time again.

Is this even human? With just one strike, the entire terrain was wiped out.

Even though Vimana was surrounded by a protective shield, the intense heat still managed to penetrate it.

Akame had no doubt that without this protective shield, she would have been instantly vaporized without even a chance to react.

Meanwhile, Esdeath and the others, who were hiding in the shadows, were caught in the devastating explosion before they could escape after the dark barrier was broken.

And so, Sheila and her crew of the 'Hound' from the original story were all wiped out in this explosive battle.

Kong Yang was very satisfied with this scene, because he had finally recovered his Demon King level strength. Although he was still some distance away from becoming a Transcendent, this speed was much faster than annihilating the void energy.

If I choose to annihilate the void energy, even if I go through this battle, the most I can recover is only a high-level demon.

After all, consuming ethereal energy is far more efficient than directly absorbing negative energy and sin; the difference in efficiency is enormous.

However, Kong Yang can now confirm that there are no system missions in this world.

I've already taken control of the empire and destroyed the revolutionary army and the alien races. Even so, there's still no system notification. So, there are no more system missions.

Perhaps this is the difference between not having a normal time travel experience and having an abnormal one.

Is this your true power?

Esdeath was also shocked by the terrifying destructive power.

"No, this is only the power of the Demon King level, which is the eighth rank. Above the eighth rank, there is the ninth rank, and above the ninth rank, there must be even higher levels."

Kong Yang's face was full of certainty. In the world of "Zombie Agreement", he had almost been killed by fate despite his strength as a transcendent. This meant that the ninth rank was definitely not the limit. There must be an even more powerful realm above that.

"It's so interesting, that's exactly what makes it interesting."

Esdeath was not discouraged; on the contrary, she became even more determined to fight. That's Esdeath for you; she won't be defeated so easily.

From their conversation, Akame gleaned some information: Kong Yang and Esdeath's strength was truly superhuman, far exceeding the normal level.

After glancing at Kuro-tomi beside him, Akame suddenly walked up to Kong Yang.

"Lord Kong Yang, I know I have no right to say this, but I beg you to save Hei Tong."

At this moment, Kong Yang, Esdeath, and even Kurome all looked at Akame in surprise.

"Sister~"

Especially for Kuroko, childhood memories resurfaced; she remembered how her older sister had protected her back then.

At that time, I was very weak, extremely weak, and I only survived because my sister risked her life to protect me time and time again.

"Interesting, Akame. Since you want to seek my help, what are you willing to offer in return?"

"Everything—my body, my will, my soul—I can offer it all to you."

"Haha, this is really interesting."

Kong Yang had to admit that Chi Tong was very interesting. Suddenly, an idea came to him.

He raised a hand, and a ball of energy containing a strange symbol appeared in Kong Yang's hand: the Commandment of Lust, a power born from the intertwining of divine power and the original sin of lust.

However, this power was neither useful to Kong Yang nor worth discarding.

All those who harbor lust will have their souls and wills enslaved. This may seem powerful, but as the embodiment of lust, this ability is inherent to Kong Yang.

In fact, the power of this precept is itself a weakened and abridged version of the original sin of lust.

Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Discipline Messenger - Crimson Eyes!

Looking at the precepts against lust before him, Akame's eyes flickered slightly.

She could sense that this energy contained power she could not imagine, but there was also a darkness that terrified her; just one glance at it felt as if she would be swallowed by the darkness.

"This is the discipline of lust, a fragment of my power. If you can merge with it, then you will be my discipline messenger."

Chi Tong fell silent. She knew that Kong Yang hadn't finished speaking. If they could merge, it meant that the fusion wasn't guaranteed to succeed; there was a possibility of failure.

"I am willing."

Without hesitation, Akame nodded immediately.

"If you fail, you will be consumed by the discipline. Even so, you must merge with it, right?"

"Yes."

"very good."

With a wave of his hand, Kong Yang directly integrated the Lust Precepts into Chi Tong's body.

'Boom~'

The next second, dark magic erupted, emanating a terrifying dark power around Akame.

Hei Tong, standing to the side, looked worried. She knew that her sister was feeling guilty for the hurt she had caused her after leaving back then, and wanted to make it up to her.

Although she never outwardly showed any reluctance to forgive her, she never truly let go of her love for her sister, Akame.
