That young emperor, who always hid deep within the palace and regarded human life as worthless, calmly ended his absurd and tragic life in his own palace with a golden belt.

That iron-blooded General Bude, known as the "strongest wall of the empire," after confirming the emperor's death, drew his sword and committed suicide on the palace wall, sacrificing himself for his country.

And those nobles and high-ranking officials who were once high above others and tyrannical, were like harvested wheat, falling in swathes within their own mansions, ending their sinful lives in various ways.

Gu Chuan's "ideological imprint" is like the most ruthless and just sword of Damocles, hanging over everyone's head, and in the most efficient way, it completely reshapes the already corrupt power structure of this country.

Esdeath, in the very first moment, took control of the order in the Imperial Capital. Her "Hunter" force, composed of the most elite Imperial Arms users, and the tens of thousands of Imperial soldiers loyal to her, became the most powerful violent machine to maintain the new order.

She is about to ascend the throne as queen.

With the assistance of the "ideological imprint," the difficulty of her governance as the new queen has been reduced to an all-time low.

"...Is this...peace?"

Chelsea stood atop the tallest clock tower in the capital, overlooking this brand-new city that, though still bearing the scars of war, was now devoid of any trace of evil and slaughter. Her orange eyes, always full of playfulness and vitality, were now veiled with a layer of glistening mist.

She sacrificed so much for this day.

"Don't worry," Gu Chuan appeared beside her at some point, comforting her in a gentle tone, "This is just the beginning. One day, I will bring you back to this world, so you can see with your own eyes the new brilliance it shines under the new rules you have set."

“…Yes!” Chelsea nodded heavily, a genuine smile full of longing and hope appearing on her face.

"However, on another note," Gu Chuan changed the subject, a mischievous smile spreading across his face, "I overheard you secretly thinking how wonderful it would be to stay in this peaceful world with him forever."

"Huh?! You...how did you know?!" Chelsea's face instantly turned bright red!

"Because, I can read minds."

"—What?! You can read minds (of Zhao)?! Li!"

Upon hearing this, Mine and Leone, who were standing nearby, also let out the same shocked exclamation!

"Then, wouldn't you be saying that all those messy things we're thinking about..." Mine's face instantly turned bright red! Like a frightened little rabbit, she instinctively wanted to hide behind Hill beside her.

However, she forgot.

Gu Chuan's "mind reading" is not done by listening with his ears.

“It’s no use, Mine,” Gu Chuan said, watching her futile yet adorable actions, his smile growing increasingly mocking. “Even if you hide at the ends of the earth, I will hear every single word you whisper in your heart calling me vile, perverted, and a big lecher.”

"Hey—! You shameless, voyeur! Pervert! You great demon!"

Mine was completely broken.

Once again, the rooftop was filled with the joyful laughter of the girls, a laughter brimming with a mixture of shyness and exasperation, energy and playful banter.

183 The Game of Dominators

The laughter and chatter on the rooftop came to an abrupt halt after Gu Chuan snapped his fingers.

His golden eyes, gleaming with divine light, slowly swept over every woman present, carrying an unquestionable and absolute sense of dominance.

"From now on," he said in a calm tone, as if announcing the rules of the game, "all of you will address me by only one name."

"Owner."

An invisible force, originating from the realm of laws, descended instantly.

"Why...why is my mouth...uh..." Mine's usually haughty face flushed crimson instantly. She was horrified to discover that no matter what she did, she could no longer utter words like "you bastard" or "pervert." Those two syllables, which made her feel incredibly ashamed, seemed to have a mind of their own and were about to leap out of her throat uncontrollably.

"Master...Master..." In the end, she was forced to complete this new title in a voice smaller than a mosquito's buzz, filled with humiliation and resentment.

"Hehe, that's a good boy." Gu Chuan nodded in satisfaction.

However, Leone's reaction once again surprised everyone.

Far from showing any shyness or resistance, she let out a low growl filled with wildness, excitement, and pleasure. Like a large feline that had finally found a master to let it run wild, she suddenly hugged Gu Chuan's broad back from behind, pressing her equally elastic and hot body tightly against him.

"--Owner."

She buried her face in the crook of Gu Chuan's neck and whispered his name in a possessive, provocative, and seductive voice.

Gu Chuan's body stiffened slightly. Then, he chuckled, reached out, and turned around to tightly embrace the restless, fiery "big cat's" slender yet powerful waist.

"Ah!" Leone's body trembled violently! She hadn't expected that her provocation would be met with an even more domineering and merciless counterattack! For the first time, her usually wild and bold face flushed with a beautiful blush.

She instinctively tried to break free.

However, Gu Chuan's arm around her waist was like the strongest iron clamp, making her unable to move.

"—We welcome all comers."

Gu Chuan whispered in her ear in a voice full of teasing and doting, a voice that only the two of them could hear.

……

"Okay, game over."

After enjoying a long period of warm and playful banter full of youthful energy, Gu Chuan finally clapped his hands, drawing everyone's attention.

"Leave the matters after the capital to Esdeath. As for us, it's time to go back."

He announced their departure.

The group bid a simple farewell to Esdeath and the NghtRad members, whose eyes held complex emotions.

Just as Gu Chuan and the others were about to be completely swallowed by that distorted spatial wormhole, Esdeath looked at the one "master" she had ever acknowledged, who was about to leave, and a meaningful smile, full of fighting spirit and anticipation, appeared in her icy blue eyes.

……

When everyone returned to that familiar, modern apartment, Leone was still somewhat awkwardly rubbing her slender waist, which seemed to still retain the warmth of a certain man's hand.

"Really... Master, you're being too rough..." she muttered softly, a blush still lingering on her face, which was always full of wild charm.

"Hmph! Serves you right!" Seeing her smug look, Mine couldn't help but snort jealously. "Who told you to offer yourself up like that!"

"What did you say?! Pink-haired dwarf!"

"I told you you deserved it! You muscle lioness!"

Watching those two lively characters bickering again, oblivious to everyone else, Gu Chuan shook his head helplessly.

His gaze, however, fell upon Najendan, the leader of the revolutionary army, who had remained silent and quiet in the corner from beginning to end.

He noticed her metallic mechanical arm, so out of place with her body, and her mysterious right eye, hidden behind a black eye patch.

"Take off the blindfold."

Gu Chuan slowly walked up to her and spoke in a calm tone that left no room for doubt.

Najendan's body trembled violently. Instinctively, she took a step back, and for the first time, a vulnerable expression of "inferiority" appeared on her face, which was always full of determination and composure.

Slowly, she removed her blindfold, revealing her grotesque eye sockets, which had long been replaced by emptiness and darkness.

"...It's ugly, isn't it?" A bitter, self-deprecating smile curled at the corner of her lips. "A woman like me, with a physical disability, has absolutely no value to you. The only reason you agreed to my conditions was because I'm the leader of NghtRad, only because I still have some value that can be used. Is that right?"

She thought she had already seen through everything.

However, Gu Chuan simply watched her quietly.

His golden, divine eyes seemed to see through her hard, deceptive shell, gazing directly into her fragile soul, filled with inferiority and unease.

He read her heartfelt words.

He slowly reached out and, with an unprecedentedly gentle and tender gesture, softly stroked her empty, grotesque eye sockets.

Then, he spoke slowly, in a tone that was both incredibly earnest and incredibly frank, a tone so sincere it could shatter all her defenses.

"—Najshitan."

"You've got one thing wrong."

"The reason I chose you is not because you are so powerful, nor because you are so perfect."

"I, simply, because..."

He paused, and at that moment, his golden eyes seemed to shine brighter than any of the most dazzling diamonds in the world.

"I'm just very interested in you, this strong, beautiful, and interesting soul named Najenda, who, even in darkness, still yearns for the light."

"Whether you are whole or incomplete."

184 New home, new members, and old grudges

When the distorted light and shadow of the wormhole completely dissipated behind them, and the familiar, modern apartment living room came into view again, the NghtRad members all showed expressions of curiosity, wariness, and bewilderment to varying degrees.

Is this the world where the "master" lives?

There was no smoke of gunpowder, no bloodshed; the air was filled with a languid yet warm scent called "peace," a scent they had never smelled before.

However, this brief period of tranquility was soon shattered.

"—Welcome back, Gu Chuan-jun."

Accompanied by a gentle greeting, Matou Sakura emerged from the kitchen carrying a plate of freshly cut fruit. When she saw that in the living room, besides Gu Chuan, Nami, and March Seven, there was a group of strange women dressed in all sorts of peculiar clothing, with sharp eyes that seemed capable of killing, her usually gentle smiling face instantly froze.

"What...what are these?"

Immediately afterward, Rin Tohsaka also came down from upstairs. When she sensed the almost tangible killing intent emanating from Leone, Akame, and the others—an intent honed only amidst mountains of corpses and seas of blood—her jewel-like red eyes suddenly sharpened!

"Gu Chuan!" She instinctively assumed a fighting stance, her tone filled with vigilance, "Who...who are they?!"

The atmosphere in the living room instantly became tense and on the verge of conflict.

The NghtRad members also turned their wary gazes to the twin-tailed girl who exuded a powerful aura from the moment she appeared. They could clearly sense that this woman possessed a powerful force they had never seen before, a force they called "magic."

"Alright, alright, calm down."

Gu Chuan rubbed his temples, feeling a bit of a headache. He walked to the center of the living room, spread his arms, separating the two sides, like a helpless patriarch mediating a family conflict.

He briefly explained to Rin Tohsaka and Sakura Matou the origins of Nght-Rad and that they would be staying there temporarily. Of course, he omitted the more brutal details, simply describing them as a group of pitiful "war orphans" who had nowhere to go in their own world.

"—So, from today onwards, they are our new family."

Gu Chuan concluded his explanation with an unquestionable conclusion.

Immediately afterwards, his golden divine eyes flickered slightly.

An invisible force of "domination" from a higher dimension instantly enveloped the entire city.

In the city's database, several "new citizens" with perfect resumes and legal identities have quietly appeared. Their household registration, school registration, bank accounts... all the traces that can prove their existence in this world have been perfectly created in this instant.

After doing all this, Gu Chuan handed over several bank cards that he had just "created" and which contained enough living expenses to Najendan.

"Take these for now. From now on, treat this place as your home."

Rin Tohsaka, watching Gu Chuan effortlessly resolve all the practical problems with godlike skill, finally relaxed her tense body. She glanced deeply at the NghtRad members, who, though still wary, had lost much of their hostility, and finally sighed helplessly.

She took the initiative, acting like a "mistress," to undertake the tedious task of settling the new member.

"Alright, since Gu Chuan brought them back, they're one of us now." She clapped her hands and gave the bewildered NghtRad people a perfect, flawless smile befitting a "top student." "I'll take you to your rooms first. Sakura, please prepare plenty of dinner for us."

However, not everyone accepts it so readily.

"boom--!"

From one of the rooms on the second floor, came the sound of a door slamming shut in anger.

Eriri locked herself heavily in her room. She buried her face in the soft pillow, using all her strength to suppress the tearful sob that was about to escape her lips.

More...

Several more have appeared...

Moreover, each one of them looks so strong and so beautiful...

That womanizer! That idiot! How many women does he want to bring home before he's satisfied?!

When she was by his side, she felt like a completely superfluous "loser"!

……

At dinner time, the atmosphere in the apartment was unusually lively, yet also unusually eerie.

A small dining table was crowded with girls from different worlds, each with their own distinct style.

"—Another bowl, please!"

"Sister, I want one too!"

Akame and Kurome, these two sisters, whose appetites have been completely unleashed after shedding all their shackles, have handed their empty rice bowls to Matou Sakura, who is already exhausted from working in the kitchen.

Their enormous appetites, so disproportionate to their slender figures, left everyone present speechless.
