In this crossover anime, many ruthless and powerful figures reside in my territory.

"..."

Lister had to convey a little bit of affection to him, and the next second Muzan hugged his arm and happily rested his head on his shoulder.

"That one, Muzan."

"Hmm~?"

"Ah, I'd like to discuss something with you."

"Okay, darling."

"Um... I'd better ask you why you suddenly changed how you address me."

Muzan responded with a bright smile.

"I just thought about all the things you've done for me, and I want to spend the rest of my life with you."

“We both truly love each other, isn’t this a marriage? Of course I should call you ‘darling’.”

"This is the first time I've genuinely wanted to be someone's lover, so you can't refuse."

"Um...actually..."

I don't plan to get married.

Liszt simply didn't have the courage to say that, so he decided to change the subject.

"By the way, Muzan, what do you think I should do to become stronger, besides continuing my training as usual?"

Get stronger?

Muzan's expression turned serious; she never took anything involving making Lister stronger lightly.

“I adjust your physical body almost every day, and it is undoubtedly in its best condition. All that’s left is to continue to increase the energy intensity within the cells, and your physical body will naturally be strengthened.”

"So you don't need to worry about the physical aspects, I'll take care of that."

"After that comes basic energy and willpower. I can't help you with those two; you know better than me how to become stronger."

"How's your progress with the remaining combat skills... from Madara Uchiha?"

Lister thought for a moment and then answered.

"Madara's combat ability relies on his bloodline limit, but unfortunately, my imitation of the Sharingan and Rinnegan abilities is poor and useless in actual combat."

"As for other ninjutsu... aside from the secret techniques of the major ninja villages, Madara has already taught me most of the ninjutsu in the ninja world. This is also very difficult to improve."

Muzan lowered his head, and the five brains within his body began to work at lightning speed.

She knew Liszt's condition all too well; she trained with Liszt in the duel space almost every day, and she knew everything Liszt knew.

"Muzan, do you have any new Blood Demon Techniques that can assist in training?"

“I’ve already imposed a lot of restrictions on you, and it’s unrealistic to add any more.”

"To put it simply, if you don't care who you ask for help from, I think you can try going to that person."

Lister's heart tightened; he already knew who Muzan was referring to.

Sure enough, her alluring red lips parted slightly, and she uttered that person's name—

"Aizen Sosuke."

"He's the kind of person who cultivates enemies in order to break through his own limitations. If you ask him to mentor you, he definitely won't refuse."

Chapter 92 Aizen Returns

Considering Aizen's actions towards Ichigo Kurosaki, Lister was certain that Muzan's judgment was correct.

Aizen was the kind of person who would cultivate a whetstone for his own breakthrough, but he went too far in cultivating Ichigo Kurosaki, which led to his own failure.

Aizen's actions during this period are enough to show that he is gaining a deeper understanding of the power of this world. Someone as talented as him must have gained something, and seeking his advice is not a bad idea.

But Aizen doesn't know when he'll come back.

He said he was going to do an experiment, but he didn't know what kind of experiment he was doing.

"Well, I'll consider it."

Lister embraced Wuzan's slender waist and looked down at her.

"Help me train for a while."

Muzan responded with a charming smile.

"Sure, I can make time for you anytime."

After saying that, Lister and Muzan entered the duel space, and to prevent Nakime from getting bored, they also brought her in to watch the battle.

The two trained until the early hours of the next morning.

As the first rays of sunlight shone on Red Maple Castle, Muzan took Lister's arm and they admired the sunrise together.

She's growing to love the sunshine more and more, especially the warm feeling it gives her when it shines on her skin, which makes her feel incredibly comfortable.

"Lister, I'm going back."

"Okay, then I'll take it..."

Before Lister could finish speaking, his head was pulled off by Muzan's arms.

The hot, moist sensation spread across the lips.

Naruto plucked a string on her zither, producing a long, melodious sound that lingered in the air.

Slowly, Muzan released Lister, a look of satisfaction appearing in his blood-red eyes.

She licked the silver thread that remained on her lips and smiled.

"Just wait, even if I'm not as good as them, I'll still be an indispensable asset to you."

Through their deeply connected minds, Lister sensed waves of affection, cherishment, and excitement emanating from Muzan's heart, along with a desire to surprise him.

She really has changed a lot for him.

"Nakime, let's go back."

The next second, Muzan and Nakime disappeared from the spot.

She had not forgotten her promise to Liszt; there was no need for Liszt to pay for her sins.

Looking at the spot where they left, Lister subconsciously raised his hand to touch his lips, then shook his head and chuckled softly.

Okay, time to get back to work.

Let's go find Aizen when he arrives.

……

There isn't much going on in Red Maple Ridge during winter.

In addition to their daily lives, the residents of Red Maple Town basically have to add snow shoveling to their routines, and they also have to go to school every day to read and learn to read.

Many people without any special skills would ask others for advice on techniques such as forging and farming, hoping to contribute more to their territory.

In addition to seeing the activities of the locals, you can also see engineers wearing thick military coats walking around the town, using instruments to measure and draw blueprints.

They are the engineering team from Epsilon, working on the town's infrastructure planning; everything here still needs further renovation.

For them, who had experience building bases in the Antarctic polar region, building Red Maple Territory was a simple matter. However, because Lister required the people of the territory to adapt to the new environment, they did not rush to build on a large scale, but instead planned to complete the foundation first.

The farmland outside Red Maple Town was covered in snow, and all the grain was stored properly in the granary, which was checked daily by designated personnel.

Fortunately, the Red Maple River was not completely frozen, and a good catch of river fish can still be obtained every day.

In short, the people's food, clothing, housing and transportation were all arranged perfectly by Cortini and the management team, so he didn't have to worry about it.

Now his concern is Epsilon's development of the basin.

When Liszt crossed the hundred-meter-wide Red Maple River to the other side, Cortini was also inspecting the situation on this side.

Epsilon sent a team of only thirty people to Red Maple Town, but sent a team of nearly two hundred people to the other side of the Red Maple River, where they also set up temporary accommodations.

They need to select a suitable location here to build the Epsilon military base, which will facilitate the deployment of the MCV.

Therefore, they need to undertake large-scale construction projects.

To help them clear a piece of land as quickly as possible, Lena added a daily exercise routine to her guards.

Besides running ten laps around the red maple tree in the dead of winter at dawn, they also have to come here to cut down trees and transport timber.

Lister could see them at a glance, dressed only in thin, tight-fitting sportswear, their beautiful muscles clearly visible.

To his surprise, Yahiko and Minami also came to help, but their efficiency was really lacking, after all, they were just two children under the age of 8.

After clearing each piece of land, Cortini would use Earth Release to solidify the foundation, an efficiency that the Epsilon engineering team greatly envied.

It was thanks to the help of the people of Red Maple Territory that Epsilon was able to clear out a spacious area for the MCV to operate today, just two days after signing the treaty.

When Lister witnessed the deployment of Epsilon's mobile construction vehicles, he felt a surge of excitement—the beauty of machinery.

He couldn't help but move closer and meet the person in charge.

The person in charge of the construction and operation of this Epsilon base is an Epsilon sergeant.

He explained that he originally belonged to the Epsilon Logistics Department and was responsible for the material allocation of the Antarctic base. Unexpectedly, he was suddenly chosen by Lord Yuri to come to another world to establish a base and assist in the development of a new technology system.

Hearing this, Lister broke out in a cold sweat, hoping the other party would pay attention to the placement of the oil drums.

The sergeant then stated that they were considering new energy storage technologies, and that the versatile magic here was very convenient. The research team was studying how to store large amounts of magic as energy through microorganisms.

This world is extremely rich in bioenergy, making it ideal for Epsilon to develop bio-related technologies.

For example, their improved microbial biochemical reaction chambers have been widely used in Antarctica, and their power generation efficiency is much higher than before.

There are also microbial explosives, which are being prepared by berserker warriors developed by the white bear orcs.

Soon, Epsilon will develop new technologies using materials and creatures unique to this other world, then defeat the two poles of the world, unify all thoughts, and establish a new world!

The Epsilon sergeant was clearly very talkative and wanted to talk to Lister about their supreme faith.

Lister lied, saying he was busy getting rid of him, and said he would support Epsilon's construction in the area.

The sergeant also promised that they would build Red Maple Territory into the most planned, designed, and avant-garde city!

The thought of Epsilon's military formation made Lister want to refuse, but he only said that he hoped to keep a low profile.
