"Mahāpadma!"

With Esdeath's roar, time seemed to freeze.

Everything around remained suspended in that moment, refusing to advance to the next.

"Hahaha!"

Slowly standing up and pressing her hand against her forehead, Esdeath laughed maniacally.

"I must admit, you were very stronger earlier. But ultimately, I will be the victor!"

Gazing at Mika, who stood on the ground charging toward her, Esdeath said excitedly.

She was immensely thrilled at this moment.

After all, she hadn't experienced such a battle in a long time.

Moreover, a desperate counterattack like this was something she hadn't felt since obtaining her Teigu.

Therefore, Esdeath was especially exhilarated.

She slowly walked up to Mika, looking at that face full of fighting spirit, and couldn't help feeling intoxicated.

Before returning to the Imperial Capital, Esdeath suddenly desired to fall in love.

She wanted to find a partner of her own.

At the same time, she had specific requirements for her companion:

Above all else, he must value future possibilities—someone who aims to train himself to become a general-level figure.

He must have courage—someone who can go hunting Danger Beasts with Esdeath even if unarmed.

Like Esdeath, he should have grown up not in the Imperial Capital but in the frontier regions.

Younger than Esdeath, so that she can dominate him.

Preferably someone with a pure smile.

These five conditions were Esdeath's requirements.

In the original future, when Esdeath later met Tatsumi, who had a pure smile, she fell in love at first sight.

But the current Esdeath hadn't met Tatsumi yet.

Therefore, looking at Mika before her, she couldn't help but feel moved.

After all, compared to those requirements, for Esdeath—who revered the law of the jungle—absolute strength was undoubtedly the most attractive.

And Mika was precisely such an existence.

He possessed violence stronger than hers.

Therefore, gazing at Mika's face, Esdeath couldn't help but feel her heart stir.

She extended her hand, cupping Mika's face.

"But unfortunately, this is an impossible wish!"

"If you cannot be dominated by me under normal circumstances, you will inevitably become my enemy!"

Cupping Mika's face, Esdeath couldn't help but smile.

Although she was fond of him, Esdeath wasn't someone whose actions would be influenced by her emotions.

Mika posed too great a threat to her.

If he hadn't refrained from killing her outright when she was unprepared earlier, she wouldn't have had the chance to comprehend this move in humiliation.

In that case, death would undoubtedly have awaited her.

Although she did not fear death,

But if she could live, who would choose to die?

She hadn't yet fully enjoyed the pleasure of conquest.

Therefore, no matter what, Esdeath couldn't let someone like Mika go.

After all, she wasn't some love-struck fool.

She was the decisive and ruthless super-sadist battle maniac, General Esdeath!

"It's a pity; if only you could be dominated by me!"

Cupping Mika's face, Esdeath said with dreamy eyes.

"But I can dominate you!"

To Esdeath's astonishment, Mika's voice sounded in her ear.

Then, under her shocked gaze, a flame-like red light gradually ignited around Mika, slowly burning away this world frozen by ice.

"How can you move here!"

Although it was her first time using it, Esdeath was undoubtedly extremely satisfied with this move.

She clearly understood that this was definitely her most pinnacle technique.

But this very move was broken by Mika.

"Why is it impossible!"

Walking out from the frozen state, looking at Esdeath who leaped backward in surprise, Mika said with a light smile: "Your move is indeed strong; it freezes the nearby molecules in an instant, producing an effect similar to freezing time and space."

"But unfortunately, I have the same ability."

"The same ability?"

Esdeath asked in shock.

"That's right. Just as your ice, when taken to the extreme, can freeze everything, when my flames burn to the extreme, they can also burn everything to ashes."

"And that includes this frozen subspace you've created!"

As Mika explained his ability, scorching flames continuously rose.

Eventually, they formed a flame sword thousands of meters high, standing in the center of the Imperial Capital, seen by all its residents.

"What is that!"

"Is it the power of the gods?"

"Is the Imperial Capital going to be destroyed?"

Hearing the cries of the nearby residents, the members of Night Raid outside the capital were also dumbfounded.

Such an attack was unmatched even by them.

The flame blade that pierced the sky, its end unseen, was undoubtedly a god-like strike.

Facing such an attack, even though they were far away, they couldn't help but feel despair.

Not to mention Esdeath, who was experiencing this feeling face-to-face.

Confronting this flame blade, Esdeath's face showed shock.

But soon, she burst into laughter.

"Come on, let me test the power of your strike!"

At this moment, the ice power on Esdeath's body also rose to the extreme.

"Then accept the judgment!"

Raising the greatsword in his hand high, Mika slashed down fiercely.

"Heavenly Fire: Calamity Annihilation!"

As Mika swung his sword, Slashing down. Instantly annihilating everything within its range.

This strike directly cut the vast Imperial Capital in half, utterly destroying everything in its path.

"Cough, cough!"

As the flames gradually dissipated, Mika's face became extremely pale.

At the same time, his body became extremely weak.

Heavenly Fire: Calamity Annihilation!

This was Mika's strongest move, an ultimate attack that sacrificed himself.

But under Airmid's skill's protection, Mika was immune to the instant death effect, remaining in a near-death state.

But relying on his own skill "Death Battle," Mika still maintained his peak combat ability.

"Dia Fratel!"

Airmid's voice suddenly sounded, and under the brilliant light, Mika's body was rapidly recovering.

"Mika, are you okay!"

Rushing to Mika's side, Airmid asked with concern.

"I'm fine!"

Mika replied with a smile.

Then he turned his head, looking ahead at everything destroyed by "Heavenly Fire: Calamity Annihilation."

"Fortunately, I had Mellie use illusions to transfer the residents in this area elsewhere beforehand; otherwise, the residents of the Imperial Capital would have suffered heavy casualties!"

Mika couldn't help but shake his head.

As he said, the sword he swung was pre-planned.

Then Mika lowered his head, looking at Esdeath lying on the ground.

At this moment, half of her body had been completely vaporized in the flames.

Fortunately, Mika had deliberately angled his swing slightly, not completely burning her head.

"Airmid, I'll leave Esdeath to you. Haven't you always wanted to test the limits of your healing ability? Use her to try it out!"

"If you can heal her, I'll definitely make good use of her."

"If you can't and she dies, it's no great loss."

"What do you think?"

Mika said with a light smile.

"Leave it to me!"

Airmid responded seriously.

<><><><>

Under the scorching flames, Esdeath was utterly defeated.

And Mika won this battle, becoming the true emperor.

"Mm, delicious!"

In the palace where Mika resided, after everything was over, Mika was feasting on delicacies.

In front of him was a table full of gourmet food.

Beside Mika, Mellie and Airmid also sat in chairs before the feast, savoring the palace's cuisine in small bites.

"Don't rush so much; no one is going to take it from you!"

Seeing Mika gobbling down food, Mellie said with a light laugh.

In response, after swallowing the food in his mouth, Mika retorted: "Easy for you to say; after all, you're not the one whose whole body was burned out!"

When he used "Heavenly Fire: Calamity Annihilation" earlier, Mika was completely burned out.

And the burning here didn't just refer to the special energy within Mika being exhausted; even the fat storing biological energy in his body was burned up.

Although Airmid's healing magic could heal Mika's injuries,

But the fat and other substances burned out in his body couldn't be restored.

Therefore, at this moment, although Mika, under the enhancement of the skill "Death Battle," still maintained peak condition at all times,

His body was extremely weak.

Previously, Mika had well-defined muscles and a robust physique.

But now he was skin and bones, frail and weak.

These were the side effects of using "Heavenly Fire: Calamity Annihilation."

Therefore, Mika now needed to ingest as much energy as possible to restore his own state.

"Of course not me; after all, I'm not the one using 'Heavenly Fire: Calamity Annihilation,' such a suicidal attack!"

Facing Mika's annoyed gaze, Mellie rolled her eyes.

In her words, Mika could hear both reproach and concern.

The reason Mellie said this was just to express her dissatisfaction with Mika's use of "Heavenly Fire: Calamity Annihilation."

Hearing the true meaning in Mellie's words, Mika couldn't help but shake his head inwardly.

If possible, he didn't want to use a move like "Heavenly Fire: Calamity Annihilation" either.

But facing Esdeath's move that could freeze molecules, among the many techniques Mika knew, only "Heavenly Fire: Calamity Annihilation" could break through that freezing.

Otherwise, with Esdeath's move, in a sense, it was already an invincible technique.

Freezing molecules—that was already an ability approaching divine authority.

If not for the lack of a corresponding energy system in this world, Esdeath's threat level would have increased much more, even reaching near-divine levels.

Mika believed she had such potential.

After telling Mellie his thoughts, Mellie, beside him, couldn't help but furrow her brows.

"At that time, because I was far from where you were, I wasn't frozen by Esdeath, and I clearly saw her move."

"Thinking about it now, it truly is an extremely dangerous technique!"

"Esdeath is undoubtedly a genius limited by the world!"

Shaking her head, Mellie couldn't help but sigh.

No one knew how nervous she was when she saw Mika frozen by Esdeath.

She immediately rushed out.

If Mika hadn't awakened in time, perhaps Mellie would have rushed in to rescue him.

"Really? Is that woman so powerful?"

Due to the battle, Airmid, who hadn't paid attention to Mika and Esdeath's fight, said thoughtfully.

At that moment, Airmid developed the idea of healing Esdeath no matter what.

She felt that such talent would be very useful to Mika.

So she would do her utmost.

"By the way, Airmid, how was the battle on your side!"

After a conversation with Mellie, Mika looked toward Airmid.

After defeating Esdeath, Mika quickly returned to his chambers and arranged for the servants to prepare food.

As for the aftermath, it was all left to Mellie at the time.

Therefore, Mika knew nothing about the situation on Airmid's side.

Hearing Mika's inquiry, Airmid immediately snapped out of her thoughts.

"On my side, only Liver of the Three Beasts is still alive. Kurome, who had captured him, intended to eliminate him, but your actions on your side affected ours, so he survived and has now been stripped of his Teigu and imprisoned."

"In addition, among the Four Rakshasa Demons who later joined the battle, only a warrior named Suzuka remains; the other three have all died."

"Also, their Teigu users have all been recovered by me and sent to Gabriel."

Airmid immediately told Mika everything about the other side.

"So that's how it is!"

Mika nodded slightly.

Then he smiled happily.

"In that case, we no longer have any worries about our actions!"

With General Budo's death and Esdeath's defeat, the Empire no longer had anyone who could oppose Mika's rule.

"How about the people you were preparing?"

Turning his head, Mika seriously asked Mellie.

"Don't worry; everything is ready."

Mellie said with a smile.

"Next, as long as you give the order, we can complete the replacement of all remaining governors and key officials in the Empire."

Since Mika and the others replaced the Emperor, a considerable amount of time had passed.

During this period, Mellie had been secretly selecting personnel.

As an empire that had lasted a thousand years, the Empire naturally had its own talent selection mechanisms.

But over time, and due to the Prime Minister's dictatorship, the Empire's selection mechanisms had gradually lost their effectiveness.

But even so, many talents still entered officialdom through this selection mechanism.

It's just that they were not given important positions.

And such a situation had been going on for many years.

But with Mellie's orders, the intelligence side of the secret unit Night Crow had expanded into a network covering the entire country.

Now that Mellie controlled all the civil officials, there was nothing she couldn't do.

Therefore, under this network's screening, many talents' names appeared on the list in her hands.

And these people had already been secretly brought to the Imperial Capital for training under her arrangements.

Among them, the most outstanding group had already gone to the southern and western parts of the Empire earlier.

Replacing the local governors and other key officials.

Their coverage accounted for one-third of all counties in the country.

Next, as long as Mika gave the order, the remaining two-thirds would also be completely under his control.

At that time, the Empire would be entirely in the hands of the three of them.
