Code Geass World.
People around the world watched this scene with a growing sense of conspiracy.
The woman who had died at the beginning was now alive again.
Bystander A: "Even if I'm not very smart, I can tell there's a huge conspiracy here."
Bystander B: "As if you needed to point that out?"
.....
[On the screen, the Emperor Charles zi Britannia looks at the distraught Lelouch and speaks slowly]
[The empire has existed for two hundred years, with over a dozen emperors. One can imagine how fierce the competition for the throne has been.]
[At that time, Charles and his brother V.V. witnessed the darkness of humanity—assassinations were commonplace, and they were surrounded by lies and betrayal.]
[After a deadly struggle, Charles gained the Geass to manipulate memories, while his older brother V.V. obtained the Code of immortality.]
[The two decided to change this world full of lies. Charles used his power to rapidly expand the empire, while V.V. discovered the possibility of changing the world—the World of C.]
[Humanity has always been in constant conflict. The brothers wanted to change this world—to slay the gods and create a perfect world without strife or harm.]
[A world where everyone could live in peace would thus be achieved.]
...
In the Pure Land, Madara Uchiha laughed heartily at the brothers' ideal.
"Hahaha, I never thought someone would share the same ideal as me!"
"I, Madara, acknowledge you!"
[However, the appearance of Marianne vi Britannia changed the plan. At that time, Marianne was nearly invincible in combat—even the current top Knight of the Round, Bismarck Waldstein, was her subordinate. Such a woman naturally attracted both Charles and V.V.]
[V.V. was extremely displeased that Marianne married his brother, so he shot and killed her.]
[Hearing this, Lelouch understood many things. In short, he was merely a tool to lure out C.C.]
Furious, Lelouch shouted at the two:
[Don't try to push all the blame onto the deceased V.V.! Why did you send me and Nunnally to Japan in the first place?]
Charles replied calmly:
[To protect you, to keep you away from V.V.]
Marianne added:
[Research showed that without C.C., the Code could not be guaranteed.]
[Since Marianne failed to persuade C.C., we used you instead.]
Lelouch looked at them with loneliness and self-mockery:
[So, I am the world's noise? The obstacle?]
At that moment, Suzaku and C.C. emerged from the mist behind him.
Suzaku stared directly at Charles and asked:
[What kind of world do you want to create?]
[A gentle world that Euphemia and Nunnally desired.]
[Since C.C. is here, let's begin the plan!]
Charles raised his right hand, which bore the mark, and a eerie red light emanated from it.
The screen showed endless skeletons, distorted and terrifying, sending chills down the spine.
The entire world shook violently, and strange lights appeared in the sky.
Suzaku then asked Lelouch:
[Lelouch, why do you want to conquer the world?]
[Hmph, of course, for Nunnally...]
[Even now, you still use Nunnally as an excuse?]
[Hmph, I fight to protect everything I care about.]
[To achieve the result, some things must be discarded.]
As Charles approached C.C., Lelouch blocked his path, his gaze unwavering.
[I do not acknowledge your world.]
[Why do people lie? It's not just for plunder—it's for pursuit !]
[A world that is content with the status quo will never change. This cannot be called living! I refuse to acknowledge this closed-off world!]
[Your intentions may be good, but such imposed goodwill is no different from evil!]
[What you desire is a world that is gentle to yourselves, but what Nunnally desires is a world that is gentle to others!]
Lelouch grew increasingly resolute, rejecting Charles and Marianne's ideal world.
People live for the future. If the future cannot change, can it still be called the future?
Humanity needs dialectical thinking to view the world.
No matter what ideas exist, there will always be debate and controversy. Without these, flaws in problems will never be discovered.
[The World of C is the collective unconscious of humanity. Since it is human, there will be inequality. Do you understand this unequal power of mine?]
Charles clearly looked down on Lelouch's power.
[How can the power of a king defeat the power of a god?]
Lelouch unleashed his Geass on the World of C.
[Gods! Collective unconscious of humanity!]
[Do not halt the march of time!]
Marianne frowned, watching the rebellious Lelouch. She stepped forward but was blocked by Suzaku.
[This is impossible for humans.]
[Even so, I still want tomorrow!]
Lelouch's unwavering belief awakened the power of Geass in his other eye, allowing him to slay the god and destroy the entire system of the ruins.
Lelouch looked with grief and indignation at his parents, who perished due to the backlash.
Lelouch had rejected his parents' ideal world, but the outside world remained fraught with conflict.
A plan known as the "Zero Requiem" quietly began to unfold.
