Due to Lin Que's consistent past conduct, the atmosphere within the chat group was generally relatively peaceful.
After a few simple retorts, everyone ignored the provocation and began to persuade her.
Sword Princess: "Fighting is bad."
Furniture City Expert: "That's right, that's right. It's rare for us to gather here, so everyone should get along well."
Avenger: "Agreed, we're all in the same group. There's no need to determine who's superior."
Ice Queen: "Get along well? No need to determine who's superior? Such weak thoughts!"
Ice Queen: "The strong prey on the weak! This is the essence of this world!"
Ice Queen: "Weak and powerless, you will only be bullied by others and have everything taken away from you at will!"
After familiarizing herself with her beliefs, the veteran social Darwinist Esdeath provoked again.
Ice Queen: "I don't want to hear your weak and powerless statements, just shut up!"
Ice Queen: "Since you claim this is a special place that connects various worlds, there must be strong individuals here!"
Ice Queen: "Don't hide anymore! If you want me to believe this isn't an illusion created by an Imperial Armament! Then step forward and defeat me!"
Hanma: "She's really stubborn."
Hair Gel Hand: "It seems verbal communication is impossible."
Nami: "What do you say? @Lin Que (Administrator)"
Although Esdeath had just joined the chat group, her group name indicated that she was no ordinary person.
Without any information about her, going to fight her naturally carried risks.
If they had to fight, it was better to consult the strongest person in the group.
Lin Que (Administrator): "Fighting? Sure, but if you lose, you'll have to pay a price @Ice Queen."
Her first sentence in the group mentioned Imperial Armament, then she talked about fighting, the strong preying on the weak, and her group name was Ice Queen.
Combining these factors, Lin Que could naturally guess her identity.
Clearly, this Ice Queen was Esdeath from the Akame ga Kill! World.
As the true ceiling of the Akame ga Kill! World, Esdeath's strength was indeed formidable.
This could be seen from how she alone fought more than ten Imperial Armament users and a million-strong army in the original work without falling behind, even gaining the upper hand at times.
Even in Hakoniwa, she would be a top six-digit, or even comparable to some five-digit powerhouses.
But unfortunately, at this level, there was still a tiny gap between her strength and Lin Que's.
If she wanted to fight, Lin Que naturally wouldn't mind going to have some fun and earn some points along the way.
Ice Queen: "Oh? Someone's finally willing to accept the challenge. It seems not everyone is a coward after all."
On the other side, Esdeath, who had just joined the group and didn't know Lin Que's strength, naturally didn't back down.
Ice Queen: "The price doesn't matter. As long as you can defeat me, you can take everything I have!"
Lin Que (Administrator): "Since you say so, I'll go."
He said that, but Lin Que didn't leave immediately.
As a man who kept his promises, since he had agreed with Black Rabbit to leave a message next time he went out to play, he naturally had to do so.
After writing the letter and leaving the message, Lin Que pulled out a flying sword with a cradle hanging from it.
This was an auxiliary Gift he had prepared after learning from his last trip to the Demon Slayer World, to prevent suddenly needing to go out while wandering around: [Tracking Flying Sword].
As long as it was set up and activated in advance, the Tracking Flying Sword would automatically move towards the target it needed to track.
Lin Que didn't have it track Black Rabbit, who was outside, but chose Leticia, who was not far away.
"Done."
Watching the Tracking Flying Sword leave, Lin Que activated the group teleportation function, setting the destination to the Akame ga Kill! World.
"[Reminder: The group member is carrying a special life form. Continuing the teleportation will cost double points.]"
Special life form?
An unexpected prompt sounded, making Lin Que pause.
After a brief thought, his gaze fell on the Gorgon pendant on his chest, and he finally remembered Algol's existence.
"I almost forgot about you."
The unlocking of new functions and Esdeath's provocative statement as soon as she joined the group disrupted Lin Que's original plans.
He had originally only intended to check out the new functions unlocked in the group and then go into the seal to play with Algol.
Now, he would have to go to the Akame ga Kill! World first to stroll around and earn some points.
Reaching out and fiddling with Algol's seal twice, Lin Que pressed the confirm button again.
He definitely wouldn't feel at ease leaving this thing to others; it was much more reliable to carry it himself.
As for the double points issue...
Lin Que glanced at his 1.13 million points, then at his goal of 300 million, and chose to ignore it.
...
In the Akame ga Kill! World, within the Imperial Army's Northern Expedition camp.
Esdeath, dressed in military uniform, lifted the curtain of the main tent and stepped out.
Goose feather-like snowflakes slowly drifted down from the sky, and a biting cold wind whistled.
"A strong individual from another world, I wonder how many moves he can withstand from me."
Walking on the pristine white snow, Esdeath headed towards the area outside the camp.
"Lady Esdeath?"
Liver, who happened to be passing by the camp's main gate, saw her and immediately came forward.
"It's almost dinner time, where are you going?"
"To find a suitable place for a fight."
According to the people in the chat group, Lin Que, who would arrive via the teleportation function, would appear directly beside her.
Her subordinates were all within the camp, so a fight naturally couldn't happen here; she had to go out and find a place.
"A fight?"
On the other side, Liver, hearing Esdeath's nonsensical remark, immediately misunderstood.
"Could it be... the Northern Barbarians are preparing an attack, and Lady Esdeath, you've received news and are going to handle it alone?"
"There's no movement from the Northern Barbarians' side for now."
Esdeath looked at Liver: "As for the fight I mentioned, it's a battle with a strong individual from another world."
Liver: "..."
He could understand every single word, so why did it become completely incomprehensible when strung together?
"You don't need to know too much."
After all, even Esdeath hadn't fully believed the claims of the chat group and Asuna.
"If you're curious, just follow along."
"No need for all that trouble."
Just as Esdeath was about to continue her journey, Lin Que's voice came from ahead.
"Let's do it here, a quick battle."
[Group member 'Sea King' has opened a live stream room.]
