Having traversed countless realms, can you possibly be as clever as me?

There was no other way, so he began his third cycle of reincarnation.

In this cycle, thanks to his understanding of Julius's moves from the previous two encounters, he actually suppressed his opponent and then knocked the sword out of his hand before Julius could get serious, thus achieving victory.

Tsugumi enhanced his physical abilities and memorized the plan in advance, achieving an outcome that he dared not have dared to achieve. Natsuki Subaru upheld his lord's dignity and won as a knight. Emilia, however, did not kindly utter the cutting words that would have made him lose his temper.

Haha, so all we need to do now is explain the Witch Cult, and we'll be victorious!

That very night, Capella, disguised as Rem, broke Subaru Natsuki's limbs and dragged him away for interrogation, while Emilia was also captured by Sloth.

634. Subaru Natsuki's Hundredfold Tower of Suffering (Bonus Chapter, Please Vote!)

For those who are reincarnated by death, the difficult challenges come not only from enemies with powerful numbers, but also from villains who are intelligent and constantly change their plans according to the situation.

And without a doubt, the people of the Witch Cult, at least at this moment, are indeed an extremely formidable group of opponents.

After discovering that Subaru Natsuki was a huge variable, Capella did not hesitate to take the initiative at night. After enduring three days of torture, Subaru Natsuki successfully used the accumulated pain to blow Capella up in one go.

Then he went outside and found that not only had he become a wanted criminal, but Emilia and the others were either dead or their fates were unknown. The royal capital was plastered with wanted posters for him killing and causing destruction everywhere.

If their fate is unknown, then they are dead!

Faced with the arrest of the knights led by Reinhard, Subaru Natsuki chose to fight to the last moment and used Reinhard's Dragon Sword to execute his ill-fated body.

So he started another round.

"How the hell could you play like this?!"

Tsugumi couldn't hold back any longer when she saw the third round. She kicked Subaru Natsuki away and then cursed at him.

"I gave you so much information and you still managed to play like this?!"

"It really isn't my fault..." Natsuki Subaru said, looking aggrieved.

"I tried my best, but their power is just too great..."

He was simultaneously dealing with two archbishops of the highest crime, one of whom controlled almost the entire kingdom, and his teammate was the poet Mayegue!

This is difficult! How am I supposed to beat this level?!

The fourth cycle has begun again.

This time, Natsuki Subaru learned from all his previous lessons. Realizing that the place was now completely under the surveillance of the Witch Cult, and that he would be investigated immediately if he acted too aggressively, he began to put on his acting skills.

First, he pretended to be Tang and got beaten up, losing all face. Then, when he was alone with Emilia, he told her the truth.

Although it was a bit difficult to explain, Emilia trusted him enough.

He thus gained Roswaal's trust, and then he approached Roswaal.

In exchange for directly exposing the secret of the Gospels in his possession and helping him resurrect Echidna, he entered into a pact of mutual assistance with Roswaal.

After gaining Roswaal's support, he approached several other factions of the King's Chosen, but ultimately to no avail. He then decided to secretly return to his mansion to defend against the Witch Cult's attack.

Then.....

"I don't know where the information was leaked from."

Natsuki Subaru said with a gloomy face

On their way out, they were attacked again by two great bishops of sin, but with Roswaal by their side, they had nothing to fear.

Then—unrivaled under heaven, enemies descend from the sky.

The white whale, one of the three great magical beasts, suddenly appeared.

The sudden fall of the white whale taught them all a harsh lesson. Roswaal, after trying to restrain the whale, was struck in the heart by the invisible hand of sloth, while the rest of them were undoubtedly devoured and destroyed.

Thus, the fourth cycle ended in failure.

The fifth cycle repeated itself, but this time, even with prior preparations, they still failed.

The ambush remained, and although they were prepared, Roswaal suddenly exploded just as he was about to finish casting the spell.

Natsuki Subaru: Seriously, I don't know who the actors are anymore!

Realizing that this clown was truly unreliable—whether he was an actor or genuinely absurd and incompetent—Natsuki Subaru, in his sixth reincarnation, decisively abandoned this unstable element.

He chose to contact other electoral factions one by one, and eventually received help from Crusch's faction.

The other party's goal was also to gain merit by defeating the White Whale, one of the three great demonic beasts, so as to stand out in the selection of the king. With the detailed information sent by Subaru Natsuki, it can be said that they hit it off immediately.

As for the source of information and suspicious questions, Crusch's Wind Blessing allowed her to discern all lies, which is why Subaru Natsuki easily gained their trust.

With the slaying force led by the Karlsten family assembled, Subaru advanced ahead of time toward the ambush area and successfully killed the White Whale.

Then the question comes-

Where the hell are those two high-ranking viziers?

The answer is—Sloth attacked Emilia, while Color Domain unhesitatingly unleashed large-scale turmoil and destruction within the capital.

When they rushed back to the capital, the entire city was engulfed in flames, and countless people had been turned into grotesque 'sub-beasts' by Capella, suffering a fate worse than death. It can be said that there were countless deaths and injuries.

Enough said, commit suicide and start anew!

After several more failures and searches, on the tenth attempt, Subaru, having accumulated all the necessary preparations, chose to distance himself from Emilia and the others, and went to find Reinhard on his own.

915 >>

With Crusch's help, he proved the truth of his words, hoping to convince the Sword Saint to eradicate the kingdom's deep-seated problems.

However, Reinhard chose to remain neutral on this matter.

Because he is a knight, because he is a hero, because he is simply a knight and a hero.

Therefore, he couldn't bring himself to rebel against the kingdom, especially since Subaru and the others couldn't pinpoint who the Witch Cult's mole was.

This is something that Natsuki Subaru struggles with but cannot do. Even if Crusch's blessing can confirm that what he said is the truth, how can he recognize those witch cultists whose bodies and souls have been modified to resemble others?

The result of modifying the power of the Great Sin Factor is an abnormal power that even the world's protection cannot break.

Therefore, Reinhard will not help them. His greatest promise is to refuse to obey the orders from the Sages and nobles, under the pretext of protecting Felt.

In addition, he promised to oversee every aspect of the capital to ensure that the witch cultists would not resort to desperate measures and commit mass killings.

Although Reinhardt didn't join his side, Subaru could barely accept the outcome.

Then, he went to connect with the other factions that chose the King – because only those chosen by the Dragon Stone were guaranteed not to have been replaced by Capela.

Faced with the alliance between Subaru Natsuki and Crusch, the various champions had different attitudes.

Priscilla made it clear that she refused to participate but would not report them, while Anastasia's camp discussed the matter through Julius and eventually joined them.

Thus, in this cycle, what began with Subaru Natsuki spearheaded a conflict that took place in the kingdom's capital, the Tower of Suffering.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, since almost all the nobles, civil officials, and knights in the country are gathered together for the election of the king, and Natsuki Subaru has made ample intelligence and preparations for this in previous cycles.

Today is the best time to take action.

And this was indeed their closest chance to success. In fact, Natsuki Subaru did 'succeed' this time.

Noble: Is Emilia's faction the stronghold of the Witch Cult?

Sages' Guild: Watch me send the Sword Saint over to send you all to your deaths! Reinhard, move out!

Felt: Reinhardt, if you don't support Subaru Natsuki, who will?

Julius: Knights are all simple-minded; they are born to serve their country!

Sibyl Sibyl Kudeta begins!!!

They stormed into the royal city, took control of the nobles, knights, and civil officials present, successfully sidelined the Sages' Council, and installed Crusch to directly seize control of the national government.

Although Emilia might see this as a betrayal, Subaru Natsuki, whom she had 'driven away,' turned around and successfully supported another member of the royal selection to become the new Lion King of the country.

He guessed that he would inevitably be misunderstood, but he was able to silently endure this unsolvable situation, after all, it was precisely to protect something more valuable.

With this in mind, Natsuki Subaru successfully transformed himself into a being like Tenkai in this cycle of reincarnation, single-handedly helping Grand Duke Crusch to successfully ascend to Kyoto.

"I did it." Natsuki Subaru said softly, but his tone lacked any ease or sense of accomplishment; instead, it was filled with despair and pain.

"And then—we didn't find a single witch cultist."

Yes, the result of this cycle is calm and tranquility.

There were no witch cultists, no archbishops of sin, and even the white whale that was supposed to arrive on time had disappeared.

The sky was clear, everything was in good order, and even Emilia and the others successfully returned to the mansion.

This should have been a beautiful and correct ending, but for Subaru Natsuki, it was an absolutely terrible result.

"None of the things I predicted came to pass, and so soon, divisions and rifts arose within us."

Natsuki Subaru closed his eyes and said bitterly.

"Julius was the first to question and leave the alliance. He thought it was all my conspiracy and cursed me loudly in the palace. Then he, Anastasia, and the Iron Fang Mercenary Group broke away from the alliance."

"Then came Reinhard. Although he didn't say anything, he left the royal city with Felt."

“Priscilla, who refused to join us, has rallied the combined forces of the kingdom’s nobles to demand an explanation from us ‘traitors’.”

"Anastasia joined them, bringing with her the divided knightly order, followed by Emilia and her group, and the Church of the Dragon God..."

"The kingdom is engulfed in war, with chaos and death everywhere. They set fire to the capital, and everyone says I am a despicable schemer who orchestrated it all."

915>>>>

"Only Crusch, old man Wilhelm, and Phyllis were willing to believe me in the end..."

The outcome of this cycle is also obvious.

The power of the Karlsten family was completely insufficient to suppress the entire country, and faced with the siege of all other electoral forces, the royal city quickly fell.

The sword demon Wilhelm and Crusch fought to the last moment in the sea of ​​fire. After countless people died, Subaru was captured by Emilia.

Even after going through so many cycles, Natsuki Subaru still vividly remembers the look in that child's eyes.

He never wanted to experience those disappointed, sad, and disgusted looks again—and to make matters worse, his save file was overwritten by the jealous witch who didn't care about the story's direction, and it was saved directly to the day Crusch took power.

After experiencing over ninety deaths, and with Subaru Natsuki's witch aura so intense it was visible, the Archbishops of Sins appeared before him.

They suddenly appeared at the very end of this farcical stage play, then killed Rem and Ram, and kidnapped Subaru and Emilia.
