"Th-this... how is this possible?"
"Empty Void-sama... actually..."
"Who... is he?"
"..."
After a brief silence, a violent uproar erupted.
A look of indescribable fear appeared in every ninja's eyes.
Could Empty Void-sama be defeated?
Such thoughts took root deep in their hearts.
Compared to them, Ayato's servants had their own thoughts.
"Master... is so strong."
Lily's eyes had turned into starry sparkles, with a hint of admiration and worship in their depths.
This was the first time she had truly seen Ayato fight.
"The master's strength is growing increasingly unfathomable."
Esdeath sighed. "It seems I need to work even harder."
"Indeed, Master is the strongest."
Psykos's eyes showed undisguised admiration.
"Impossible."
Empty Void, his body charred black and spitting blood, stood up from the ground, his face full of horror and disbelief. "How can you be this powerful?"
"I am supposed to be the strongest."
"There's nothing impossible."
Ayato slowly stepped forward and said calmly. "But your strength is indeed impressive. You managed to withstand one blow of my Authority."
Fubuki and the others nearby all twitched their mouths.
Those words... didn't sound like a compliment at all.
"Damn it, how dare you look down on me."
Empty Void's eyelids twitched. The twin swords in his hands slashed, unleashing a sharpness of extreme killing intent.
Spiral Wind Blade!
His slashes intertwined, forming a spiral wind blade that instantly tore apart the earth, aiming to cut Ayato to pieces.
"This power?"
Psykos's pupils contracted.
Even though she wasn't the target, a wave of fear washed over her entire body.
If she faced that...
She would probably die!
But, seeing the approaching spiral slash, Ayato simply raised his hand lightly and then swung it down.
Hum!
A bolt of lightning, countless times stronger than before, instantly pierced through the void.
The terrifying light seemed to dim heaven and earth, overshadowing the sun and moon.
The incoming spiral slash was like rotten wood, shattered effortlessly by the lightning.
The mighty lightning continued its course, falling from the sky towards Empty Void.
Rumble!
Accompanied by a deafening roar.
Before the horrified gazes of all the ninjas, Empty Void's body was engulfed by the lightning.
He didn't even have time to scream before his entire body vanished.
No trace of flesh or bone remained.
Only a deep crater was left on the ground.
Gulp.
The sound of ninjas swallowing saliva.
No one spoke, because they were struck dumb with shock.
The Ninja King, whom they regarded as a god, had died just like that.
It was as if countless thunderclaps were exploding in their minds, shattering all thoughts.
"Clean up here."
Ayato instructed. "I'll go inside and take a look."
"Yes, Master." xN
Sensing his surroundings, Ayato began a carpet-like search.
Any books or scrolls were collected into his magic space without a second glance.
Useful or not...
He'd pack them all first.
Then later, Fubuki and the others could sort them out.
By the time he returned...
Blood had stained the ground.
As far as the eye could see, there were severed limbs and broken bodies.
The battle here had already ceased.
"Alright, let's go back."
The night was like water!
An invisible barrier enveloped the villa.
After an operation...
Came the time to summarize experiences.
"Esdeath, are you done or not? It's my turn to ask Master for guidance."
"Miss Utaha, you weren't even part of the operation. Why are you joining in?"
"Ridiculous. Anyone can ask questions at any time. It's a servant's right."
"True... you're... right, but... wait your turn."
Inside the room, the light of Blessings flickered one after another.
What a coincidence.
Just after returning to the villa, Utaha and the others had arrived.
All wanting to improve their strength.
Originally, the entire third floor of the villa had all its walls knocked down.
Then reinforced by Ayato with word magic, it could withstand the several people continuously unleashing the power of Blessings.
Ayato sat spread-eagled on a chair, continuously using the ever-changing Authority to guide his servants' combat.
"These days are getting more and more monotonous."
Ayato leaned back into the softness, and while multitasking, a ninjutsu scroll floated in the distance.
[Origin: 2001]
[Origin: 2856]
[Origin: 2995]
Not bad. That Ninja King indeed dropped a lot of experience.
Counting the previous gains, he had unconsciously accumulated a considerable amount of Origin points.
At this rate, Origin Magic could probably advance further.
He wondered...
How his current strength compared to that Bald Demon King.
Come to think of it...
Although he hadn't actively searched...
Living in the same city, yet never meeting... he guesses they just didn't have the fate.
"Master, you've worked hard. Have some grapes."
"Good, good."
Ayato ate a crystal grape handed to him by Esdeath.
Mm!
It was icy cold!
It seemed she had frozen them with her ability.
The taste was pretty good.
After expressing his appreciation, Ayato continued multitasking.
An endless stream of Origin points began to increase on the virtual panel.
Almost simultaneously...
These Origin points were added by Ayato to Origin Magic.
Unknowingly...
Ayato's strength was growing stronger and stronger.
Geass World.
Euphemia took out a piece of clothing and handed it to Cornelia. "Here, sister. Wear this."
"This is... my coronation gown?"
Seeing it, Cornelia was a bit confused.
In the current Geass World...
She was the nominal Empress of Britannia.
"Isn't this too formal? Maybe I should wear something cooler?"
Euphemia shook her head and said seriously:
"Sister, you don't understand. Sometimes, this kind of cosplay is even more exciting."
"R-really?"
"Trust me, no problem."
