Sora glanced over.
Beside Ker, in a sphere formed by divine power, Esdeath was sleeping peacefully.
"Your Majesty!"
Before Sora could answer.
At this time.
Figures walked in from outside the door.
Akame, Kurome, Chelsea, Hill.
"Your Majesty."
Hill clasped her hands together, devout like the most sacred nun.
Chelsea said carefully: "Your Majesty..."
"Hehehe~~~"
Sora smiled: "No need to be nervous. I'm not a man-eating demon. No need to be overly restrained."
"Yes!"
Chelsea obediently stood to the side, but looking at the three people on the sofa, fell into silence.
"Your Majesty."
"Your Majesty."
Akame and Kurome, the two sisters spoke almost simultaneously.
Akame said softly: "Your Majesty, thank you. If not for you, Kurome and I would probably..."
"Your Majesty, thank you."
"For granting me new life and letting me have my sister again."
Kurome interrupted Akame's following words, her voice very light, but the gratitude was impossible to hide.
Sora shook his head: "No need to mind it too much. You are my retainers. Many things are naturally what should be done."
"Next."
Sora raised his hand, taking two clusters of light from Kurome and Chelsea's bodies.
Two clusters of world power transformed into two nails in Sora's hands.
Combined with the eight nails obtained earlier.
Ten nails floated in Sora's palm.
Sora raised his head: "Ker, release Esdeath. Now only she remains. Collect the final anchor, and then, as the Underworld Warriors control the entire world, we can proceed to the next step."
Ker nodded and released Esdeath.
Just after being released.
Instantly.
Esdeath had already opened her eyes, scanning the surroundings with sharp eyes.
"Night Raid?"
"Revolutionary Army?"
"And..."
"Are you the one in charge here?"
Esdeath didn't rashly launch an attack. She just looked at Sora.
Esdeath loved battle, loved slaughter.
But she wasn't a pure idiot. Her failure against Ker made Esdeath know that she and them weren't on the same level at all.
If she didn't want to die, it was better to be obedient.
Esdeath wasn't afraid of death. Dying in battle was something she anticipated.
But the problem was.
To die in such an embarrassing way, without any ability to fight back, like an ant being trampled by anyone?
Sorry!
Esdeath didn't want that.
"Indeed."
"I am the one in charge here."
Sora looked at Esdeath, his eyes also lighting up. Undeniably, worthy of being the sadistic queen.
Even though it was an old series, her popularity remained undiminished.
Esdeath was quite perfect.
Esdeath looked at Sora and suddenly said: "You're people from outside this world, right?"
"I heard her talk about worlds."
"That's right."
Sora nodded: "We come from outside the world. If nothing unexpected happens, this world will also become mine."
"Then."
"Esdeath, what is your choice?"
"You can obtain stronger power."
"You can obtain a broader future."
"You can face more powerful opponents."
Sora smiled at Esdeath, seemingly not caring at all whether Esdeath would refuse.
Such conditions?
Esdeath couldn't possibly refuse.
"What do I need to pay?"
Sure enough.
Esdeath directly asked what she needed to do to obtain all this.
"Very simple."
"Sign this contract."
"From today."
"You will be my possession. Everything you want will be obtained."
Sora released his hand embracing Persephone, raised his hand, and a retainer contract was already floating before Esdeath.
"Stronger power, a broader future..."
"Just by paying myself?"
"What a cheap transaction."
Esdeath signed the retainer contract without hesitation. Pitch-black light had already enveloped her.
"..."
Seeing Esdeath's choice, hearing Esdeath's words.
Akame, Kurome, Leone, Mine, Hill, Chelsea.
The six women all fell into silence.
Ah!
How to put it.
They didn't know what would be better to say.
Just like this?
"Hehehe~~~"
Persephone laughed lightly: "A child who believes in survival of the fittest. For such a child, it's like taming a wolf. Crush her, break her claws and fangs repeatedly, and she'll naturally submit."
"However."
"You can't completely break her, making her into an obedient little dog, but must preserve the wildness."
"Become a wolf king against enemies."
Regarding Persephone's words, Sora nodded in agreement: "Indeed, that's Esdeath's personality."
"Survival of the fittest."
"For her, it's already carved into her bones."
"Lost."
"Then everything she has belongs to me."
The Night Raid women + Kurome didn't quite understand this way of thinking.
Survival of the fittest?
This!
Wasn't this a bit too much survival of the fittest?
They didn't quite understand, didn't quite get it.
Sora looked at the ascending and transforming Esdeath: "As expected, Esdeath's potential was completely limited by the world. Even though it's the same retainer contract, the time Esdeath takes to transform is longer than others."
"Not strange at all."
Persephone said: "In the heavens and myriad worlds, such geniuses are always born. What binds them is the world. Breaking the world's constraints, they'll have the potential to roam the heavens and myriad worlds."
"Obviously."
"Esdeath is such a genius."
"When she breaks the world's constraints, what level will she reach roaming the heavens and myriad worlds in the future?"
Sora squinted slightly, looking at Esdeath. Had to say, he was also beginning to anticipate.
