Chapter 12 - Chapter 12: No.8 Glory Returns to Lelouch

Guilty Crown World.

Inside the school.

Students gathered around Shu Ouma, watching his final outcome with slightly agape mouths and eyes full of shock.

"Shu, I'm sorry."

Souta, Tsugumi, and others who had previously done things that greatly wronged Shu Ouma now looked ashamed.

"It's okay, as long as everyone is safe," Shu Ouma smiled faintly, not minding at all.

Everyone looked at Shu Ouma's beaming face, unsure of what emotions stirred in their hearts, some repeatedly avoiding eye contact.

At this moment, Inori Yuzuriha arrived at the school gate. For some reason, her chest felt uneasy—a sensation she had never experienced before. Her eyes stared blankly ahead as she murmured, "Shu."

Everything in the world was quietly changing, for better or worse.

No one knew what the future held for them.

The love between the two subtly influenced all worlds.

...

Heaven's Lost Property World.

"Master, I feel a faint pain in my power furnace. Can you take a look?" Ikaros pressed close to Tomoki Sakurai, speaking deeply.

Tomoki Sakurai looked at the towering presence before him, wiped his nosebleed, and asked, "How should I look?"

"Unwrap it to see the essence?"

Ikaros tilted her head, uttering words that made her power furnace beat even faster.

.....

High School DxD World.

"Isssei, I want to spend today with you. Is that okay?" Rias Gremory hugged a pillow, her pretty face slightly flushed as she whispered.

She didn't want her love to end tragically, so she needed to intensify her efforts.

Isssei rubbed his hands together, lecherously saying, "Buchou, of course!"

....

OverLord World.

"Ainz-sama, do I not have to endure anymore...." The shame of succubi, Albedo, emitted a light that frightened all men.

"Hmph, gorilla, are you looking down on me?"

Shalltear Bloodfallen blocked the shame of succubi.

The cross-dressing expert Mare also looked shyly at the skeleton before him.

Why are you blushing like a teapot?!

"Silence, quiet down!"

Ainz Ooal Gown waved his hand grandly, exuding a kingly demeanor. Though he appeared calm on the surface, inside he was panicking.

"Hmph, nonsense!"

.....

Beyond the Boundary World.

"Senpai, quickly pat my head," Mirai Kuriyama looked at Akihito expectantly.

"Hey, put on your glasses."

"I'm not happy..."

.....

Your Lie in April World.

Kaori Miyazono watched the of Shu Ouma and Inori Yuzuriha, took a deep breath, and seemed to decide something.

For them, the concept of a savior was too distant. Being with the person before them was all that mattered, even if the world ended.

And her life was nearing its end. She didn't want to leave any more regrets.

"Kōsei Arima!" Kaori Miyazono shouted loudly.

Kōsei, who was performing, was startled and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Let's perform another duet!"

Kaori smiled at Kōsei Arima, her face full of love.

"Okay."

....

Anohana: The Flower We Saw That Day World.

Jintan continuously searched for Menma, who was playing hide-and-seek.

Soon, he saw the slender figure and ran over laughing, shouting:

"Menma, found you!"

.....

Clannad World.

Under the cherry blossom tree, Tomoya saw the figure that made his heart race ahead and immediately ran over, embracing her tightly.

Nagisa was startled by the sudden gesture, even losing one of her shoes.

But Nagisa quickly calmed down, gently patting Tomoya's back, softly asking, "What's wrong, Tomoya-kun?"

"Nagisa!"

"Yes, I'm here."

"Nagisa!!"

"I'm here..."

.....

Plastic Memories World.

Isla leaned against Tsukasa quietly as they sat on the Ferris wheel, their fingers tightly interlaced.

Isla looked at Tsukasa, who was crying like a tearful person, smoothed his hair, and whispered, "May you one day meet the person you love again."

....

People in ordinary worlds had no way to deal with the apocalypse. Without any special powers, they cherished the present even more compared to the end of the world.

Real World.

Lin Chen opened his eyes, rubbed them, and checked the time.

"Why have I only slept for an hour?"

"Huh? Why is the date one day ahead?"

"Damn, I skipped a whole day of school!"

"Forget it, I'll ask for sick leave and go back to sleep. It's not the first time anyway."

Lin Chen habitually cleared his throat, dialed the phone, and his hoarse voice scared the homeroom teacher into sending him some money to see a doctor.

Touched, Lin Chen asked for another half-month off.

After all, he was the only orphan in the entire school.

[Ding~ Congratulations, host, for earning one million emotional points. Please keep up the good work.]

[Some emotional points have been converted into rewards for all worlds and will be distributed to the rankings after the countdown ends.]

[The host's physical fitness now far exceeds that of ordinary people, providing more energy.... to continue working on videos.]

"I'm indeed not as tired as before. Now I feel like I could even go to a brothel for entertainment. Probably even ordinary exotic beasts are no match for me."

Lin Chen clenched his fist, sensing the energy contained within—truly fearsome.

"Ollie give, keep working on the remaining videos..."

With this physique, it would be a disservice to all the emotional points if he didn't let the audience enjoy themselves.

Fragments of various worlds flickered continuously in his mind.

The once-silent screen across all worlds brightened again.

[Top Ten Saviors No.8]

[Code Geass World: Zero Requiem, Glory Returns to Lelouch vi Britannia!]

(The screen lights up, showing not a fierce battlefield but a dim prison cell.)

A black-haired boy, draped in a worn white robe, sat listlessly on a cold stone bed, shackles on his hands and feet. His head hung low, his purple eyes devoid of their usual brilliance, filled only with endless exhaustion and a trace of undetectable resolve. Only his handsome could faintly recall the nobility and wisdom he once possessed.

(Subtitles appear: Lelouch vi Britannia, Eleventh Prince of the Holy Britannian Empire, Leader of the Black Knights, ZERO)

"Is this... an emperor? A savior? He looks like a prisoner," many viewers across worlds expressed doubt.

The scene shifts to a grand ceremony.

The newly enthroned Holy Britannian Emperor—Schneizel el Britannia—was delivering a speech under the watchful eyes of the crowd. The prisoner-like boy was roughly escorted by guards through the cheering crowd toward a high execution platform. The crowd threw debris at him, curses filling the air.

"Liar!"

"Tyrant!"

"Die!"

The boy remained expressionless, as if all the insults meant nothing to him.

One Piece World.

"Fufufufu... Is this the so-called savior? How pathetic," Doflamingo laughed, swirling his red wine.

Sengoku frowned deeply: "Becoming a savior as a prisoner? What exactly did he do?"

The screen flashes back quickly.

A blue-white humanoid weapon—Gawain—weaved through, its cannons precisely destroying enemy formations. Inside the cockpit, the masked ZERO laughed arrogantly.

"I am ZERO! The one who will slay the world!"

The Black Knights, under his command, were invincible.

Scenes of his daily life with his sister Nunnally at school.

His close friendship with Suzaku Kururugi turning into drawn guns against each other.

He put on the mask of GEASS, ordering soldiers to "die," and they complied without hesitation.

He was crowned emperor, becoming the embodiment of the world's hatred.

Naruto World.

"The power to manipulate minds... more direct than genjutsu," Itachi Uchiha murmured.

"Brother..." Sasuke looked at Itachi, seeming to understand something.

"This guy is ruthless enough to do anything to achieve his goals!" Naruto frowned uncomfortably.

The scene returns to the execution platform.

The boy was now tied to a cross. He raised his head, looking into the distance with complex emotions.

Just then, a pure white seventh-generation Knightmare—Lancelot Albion—burst through the guards at an speed, landing on the execution platform!

The cockpit opened, and out jumped a handsome young man with golden hair and blue eyes, dressed in white knight attire—Suzaku Kururugi.

He was once Lelouch's closest friend and the empire's strongest knight, who had repeatedly defeated the Black Knights.

Now, he held a sharp sword, step by step approaching the bound Lelouch.

"Suzaku?! Is he going to save him?"

"No, he's the emperor's knight! He's here to carry out the execution!"

The hearts of viewers across worlds leaped into their throats.

However, there was no hatred on Suzaku's face—only endless sorrow and a martyr-like determination.

He raised his sword.

Lelouch looked at him, the corner of his mouth curling into a faint, incomprehensible smile.

"I destroyed the world, and I created it..."

Thud—!

The long sword pierced Lelouch's chest in an instant!

Blood instantly stained his white prisoner's uniform.

"!!!" All worlds fell silent.

The screen freezes on the moment Lelouch was stabbed, his body falling backward.

Nunnally (through touch) finally perceived all her brother's memories and plans, tears streaming down her face.

Kallen, the Black Knights members, and all who had once hated him wore expressions of shock, disbelief, and profound confusion.

Subtitles appear: [Zero Requiem (Ragnarök Connection)]

Voiceover (low and magnetic): He gathered the world's hatred upon himself.

Then, had his best friend personally execute him.

Thus, severing the chain of hatred.

Leaving the future and hope to a new era.

The scene shifts, showing the world map as the smoke of war gradually dissipates.

People begin rebuilding their homes on the ruins, individuals from different countries and ethnicities laying down their weapons for the first time, attempting to communicate.

A new peaceful federation, the "United Federation of Nations," is taking shape.

All conflicts and hatred seem to have vanished with the death of the "tyrant."

On the execution platform, Lelouch's body hung limply.

Suzaku, disguised as ZERO, stood high, receiving the crowd's cheers as the "regicide hero." Behind the mask, no one knew his expression.

Only tears fell, dripping onto the cold armor.

Finally, the screen focuses on Lelouch's peaceful, seemingly relieved.

A grand title appears with tragic yet magnificent BGM:

[NO.8 Glory Returns to Lelouch vi Britannia]

[He buried the world's evil with sin, composing a requiem with his life.]

(The screen temporarily dims, leaving all worlds in shock and contemplation.)
