Surrounding the world of Akame ga Kill!, there was a vast, endless spacetime gap. Here, time and space crisscrossed, making it the widest and most endless place in the universe.
A flash of golden light. A powerful golden energy pierced through the world barrier of Akame ga Kill! and arrived outside the world.
The golden light gradually weakened, revealing fourteen figures: Uchiha Madara, Esdeath, Susanoo's Man, and the rest of Night Raid.
Uchiha Madara was fine. As the "driver," he was relatively clear about the process of leaping out of the world. But the others were very bewildered. They appeared here almost in a state of shock.
After regaining their composure, all of them looked around in astonishment, gazing at the endless spacetime gap, and at the vast and endless magnificent scenery within this spacetime gap.
This was Uchiha Madara's second time in this spacetime gap. He also looked at the distant scenery and instructed everyone:
"This... is the spacetime gap between worlds! An endless spacetime gap!"
Everyone was instantly captivated by this strange and magnificent scenery, each of them dumbfounded and speechless.
Esdeath stretched out her hand, covered in golden energy, and probed forward. After sensing it slightly, she exclaimed after a moment:
"The time and space here... so strange... so chaotic..."
Looking at Esdeath, Uchiha Madara understood that it wasn't strange for Esdeath to have this feeling.
Because, among these people, Esdeath was the strongest. Moreover, her ultimate technique, Mahapadma, was a technique that froze time and space. It was very normal for her to be sensitive to time and space.
However, after stretching out her hand for a long time, Esdeath was surprised to discover that she was still covered by the golden energy from earlier. Although it wasn't as intense as before, it was indeed that strange golden energy.
"On my body... what exactly is this thing...?"
Esdeath's surprised cry also attracted the attention of others. They looked at Esdeath, then at each other, and finally realized that they all had it on their bodies, including Uchiha Madara. A wave of murmurs inevitably arose.
"Alright, alright, don't fuss. This golden energy is a necessary condition for us to pass through the world barrier and traverse the spacetime gap. If it weren't for this, you would have been torn to shreds by the spacetime fluctuations!"
Uchiha Madara's concise explanation somewhat comforted these people.
However, Akame raised her hand blankly, fully displaying the spirit of not being afraid to ask:
"Great boss... What is this golden energy? And what is a world barrier?"
Uchiha Madara didn't mind the trouble and explained:
"At first, I wasn't very clear what these golden energies were either. Later, when my strength grew and I reached a certain realm, I also researched it a bit and found that this is a type of primordial energy, so to speak. As for what it is specifically, I'm not clear."
"As for the world barrier... look behind you."
Everyone turned around as Uchiha Madara instructed.
And then, they saw a shocking and magnificent sight!
The world of Akame ga Kill! appeared as a gigantic, vast sphere, just like a large bubble in water, quietly suspended in the endless spacetime gap...
Standing before the materialized vast world, everyone felt a faint sensation of smallness from their souls...
Looking at the world of Akame ga Kill! in front of them, they didn't need to ask. Uchiha Madara automatically explained:
"This... is the world you were in..."
"See that layer of membrane covering the surface of the world? That's the world barrier. On one hand, it's used to separate the world itself from the spacetime gap, and on the other hand, it acts as the world's defense mechanism."
Uchiha Madara gave them enough time to exclaim. The fourteen people hovered here, staring blankly at this vast world for a full five minutes.
After five minutes, Leone seemed to snap out of her amazement. She turned around and asked Uchiha Madara:
"Lord Madara, then where are we going now? Where is your world? I can't see it!"
Uchiha Madara also turned around, vaguely facing a direction:
"If I could see it, that would be great. My world is very far from here, so far that you can't see it at all!"
"What?! Can't see it at all!?"
Mine jumped out and said flatly:
"Then how do we get there? This hellish place doesn't even have basic directions or any markers. How do we travel there!?"
"...Don't worry. I'm very familiar with the aura of my own world. No matter how far, I can sense it. Although it's very far, it's in that direction!"
Saying this, Uchiha Madara pointed ahead.
Seeing Uchiha Madara so decisive, Mine felt much more at ease:
"That's good! That's good, as long as there's a clear direction!"
But clearly, Mine's relief was a bit premature. Sheele, very naturally, raised her hand and asked the next important question:
"Um... Lord Madara... May I ask, how long will we have to travel?"
Everyone looked at Uchiha Madara together. This was an important question.
"In the spacetime gap, the concept of time is very confusing. But, using our own perspective, we'll probably travel for ten days to half a month..."
"Ten days to half a month!?" × 13
Everyone was greatly surprised and exclaimed, all at once:
"Ten days to half a month?! Why didn't you say so earlier?!"
"(Li Zhao Hao) How can we endure such a long time?!"
"Please! You're focusing on the wrong thing, aren't you?! We don't have water or food! If this continues, we'll die of thirst and starvation!"
"Mmm... it's really painful without meat to eat..."
There's no need to guess who made this last exclamation; it was Akame.
Some black lines appeared on his forehead. Uchiha Madara continued to explain soothingly:
"Don't worry. This process is tedious and tasteless. I will make all of you fall into a deep sleep, and your metabolism will be reduced to the absolute minimum. Then, I will continuously moisten you with life force from time to time. You will absolutely be fine!"
"Ten days to half a month was the time it took me to get here. Now my strength has grown again, and it will take less time, probably less than a week."
"So, all of you... obediently sleep for me! I'll call you when we arrive!"
