Zongman: Picked up Medea at the beginning

After reaching EX level, Roland was basically immune to mental interference, and past vision and future vision were completely useless to him. It was like when he dealt with Gilgamesh before, he would be seen into the future by the other party, and it would never happen again. Roland would even sense it when someone tried to watch his past or future - and after reaching EX level, Roland found that his individual manifestation was horizontally converged.

That is to say, in all parallel worlds, there is only one self.

And the lives that are influenced and changed by you, and that you often come into contact with, will gradually converge into one.

In other words, with the addition of the existence of the group of gods, the parallel world will gradually become unique.

Maybe when Toosaka Rin starts exploring the parallel world she will discover this and be surprised.

Thinking of this, Roland slowly began to laugh.

"This is a good harvest, especially the fact that no one will take advantage of me in the future."

After completing the lottery, Roland let out a long sigh, and then he went into the underground workshop where Medea and Aozaki Touko were.

At this time, Illya and Hercules also came back, and Illya was also pulled into the underground workshop and began to participate in the creation of the mecha god.

"Roland, I'm back."

When Illya saw Roland, she raised her hand high and greeted him with a smile.

She didn't say a word about Einzbern, and Roland didn't ask a single question either.

After all, asking Illya, who has achieved the Third Law, to go back and unify the Einzbern is a mission that cannot fail, not to mention that Hercules is by her side.

As for the power of Einzbern...

Just like Roland said, he didn't care - because as long as Illya stood with him, her power would naturally come into play when he needed it.

that's enough.

After greeting Illya, Roland also spoke to Medea.

He is going back to the world of Zhan Tong.

Moreover, this time will be different from the last time. He will execute Ernest after he has dealt with the other party's gang members and put an end to the whole thing.

He also arranged some things for Bai Mao before he came back, and he would take care of these things when he returned this time.

So it may take a little longer.

But before the first match between Galan Hall and Kyuuto Bird begins, he will definitely come back.

After all, he is still waiting for the unknown promoter from the Long-Distant Bird to make a move~

Roland told Medea about the situation here, and then he returned to Zhan Tong's world through the virtual world.

The place he returned to was the same place he left. Baimao's personality clone was stationed here. After seeing Roland coming back, she quickly appeared in Roland's sight.

"Roland, you're back. Are you going to deal with Ernest? I'm ready."

Hearing Baimao say this, Roland smiled.

"You are still doing things as usual and I can rest assured, but let's put Ernest's matter aside for now. He is no different from being dead now. It's just a matter of letting him release his last effect. It doesn't matter if he dies earlier or later."

"And before that, is Esdeath back?"

Maybe it's because she matched the butterfly effect of the emperor's identity. I don't know whether Esdeath became General Roland when the young emperor ascended the throne in the original work, but in any case, Esdeath is now one of the generals of the empire, and has also obtained the imperial weapon [Essence of the Demon God's Manifestation]. It's just that she has only obtained the imperial weapon not long ago, and her achievements are still insufficient, and she is far from being known as the twin pillars of the empire in the future.

"came back."

Bai Mao was stunned for a moment, but she never asked questions that she shouldn't ask.

"Okay, then help me ask her to go to the side hall... No, let's go to the martial arts arena. I want to see her."

....

20. Come on, let's step into a higher level together

Esdeath, although she and Bud have always been called the two pillars of the empire as they grew up, in fact, Bud's performance is far less shocking than Esdeath.

This point was not made memorable enough in the animated version.

But in the comic version, after the High Throne fell, Esdeath fought alone against a dozen imperial weapon users and a million troops, and still showed no signs of defeat.

But she enjoyed the fight too much, which led to her exposing a flaw and being hit by Akame's Murasame, which caused her to cut off her wrist.

After that, it was the same as in the anime version. Akame used Murasame's hidden skill to defeat Esdeath, and then Esdeath froze herself and died.

Roland felt that she was stronger than Bud.

As for Akame, who killed Esdeath, her strength must be strong, but she does not give people as shocking an impression as Esdeath.

In addition, Akame is an imperial tool user like Bud.

A large part of their abilities are based on external imperial tools, so there may be some problems with their potential abilities. We need to wait and see. If it doesn't work, we can only accept them as subordinate gods.

However, Roland still had some expectations for Esdeath, whose imperial weapon was the blood she drank.

As for choosing to receive Esdeath at the martial arts arena, this was the answer Roland came to after careful consideration.

This is Esdeath after all.

She is very easy to persuade. As long as you can defeat her, she will probably agree to anything you ask for.

She is also very difficult to convince, because you have to win her over before she will listen to you seriously.

Then there is no place more suitable than the martial arts arena.

Compared to others like Bud and Akame, Roland planned to give Esdeath a little shock of the other world right now.

"Your Majesty, you called me."

Not long after, Baimao brought Esdeath to the training ground.

Esdeath's attitude towards the emperor is still very standard.

Although she believes that only the strong can survive better, she can still treat everything around her normally when she is not crazy.

Even to the people and her subordinates, she could definitely be considered a very good general.

"Well, General Esdeath..."

Roland turned his gaze to Esdeath, and then he found that Esdeath was indeed qualified to join the group of gods.

This was something Roland had not thought of before.

After all, Esdeath has only obtained the imperial weapon not long ago, and is still far from her peak state when the original plot unfolds. Moreover, she is not one of the two pillars of the empire yet. Although her military exploits are outstanding enough to be rewarded with an imperial weapon, her achievements are far less terrifying than in the future.

But even such an Esdeath still meets the requirements.

This made the smile on Roland's face even more obvious.

Because it was just as he thought, the Demon God manifested the Essence of Demon, an imperial weapon that Esdeath could drink directly and then merge with himself. In addition to bringing abilities and improving physical fitness, it also increased Esdeath's potential abilities!

"...I know all the generals in the empire, and I know General Bud, but after the last round, I found that only you are qualified and the most suitable."

Ok?

Roland's words left Esdeath a little confused.

But his next words made Esdeath laugh.

"General Esdeath, do you think you are strong enough now?"

"of course."

Faced with Roland's question, Esdeath answered without hesitation.

After hearing her answer, Roland nodded first, then walked into the martial arts arena and waved at her.

"In that case, please come in. Before I tell you what's next, I think it would be better to talk to you in this way so that the meeting can go more smoothly."

"General Esdeath, how about we have a duel?"

Esdeath is undoubtedly a battle maniac.

However, she had no interest in this battle and even frowned.

"Your Majesty, swords have no eyes. If I fight you, the result will not be what you want to see."

Esdeath had tried to be as tactful as possible in her words, but Roland said what she hadn't said directly.

"You think this battle is boring, or you think it will be troublesome if you hurt me - it's okay, if I die in your hands, it means that I am just a guy of this level, and it's not your fault, so come on boldly."

Even though Roland said so, Esdeath still wanted to refuse.

But before she could say anything, she noticed that Roland's eyes had changed when he looked at her.

Roland lit up his golden eyes. Now that the group of gods had included fourteen people, the scale of his strange divinity had also expanded significantly.

Although compared to gods like Ishtar, Roland's divinity is still not that great. Only after he merged with Shadow Wolf can he be considered acceptable in the eyes of gods of Ishtar's level.

But when it comes to the world of Zhan Tong, it’s a different story.

No matter how small the scale of divinity is, it is still divinity!

What's more, Roland's divinity is only small in scale, but its purity is terrifyingly high.

So at this moment, all the sounds of birds singing, insects chirping, and even the rustling of wind blowing through leaves around, disappeared!

Before this, Esdeath had never thought that the world could be so quiet, so quiet that she could hear her own heartbeat. It was because of this that she noticed at the first moment that her heartbeat had unconsciously quickened a few beats.

She seemed to sink into the deep sea.

In this quiet world, there is a somewhat suffocating feeling.

"I forgive you, come on, enter the venue."

Roland's voice sounded again, and Esdeath had no intention of refusing this time.

She walked in front of Roland, and even though she felt a huge pressure from him, she still laughed, and even laughed very happily.

Seeing Esdeath's undisguised murderous intent and fighting spirit towards him, Roland still showed a very gentle smile as before.

"Let's do it."

boom!

Following Roland's voice, a roar was heard throughout the martial arts arena, and then Esdeath rushed directly in front of Roland!

She is the most elite warrior with a weapon.

And with her bare hands, she is a beast that gives people a stronger sense of oppression than those dangerous species!

Seeing Esdeath in this posture reminded Roland of a sentence.

Human beings are also animals, and are part of the group that humans call beasts!

Esdeath's attacks came towards Roland from all kinds of tricky angles.

Roland, on the other hand, maintained his shadow fusion state, trying to fully trust the instincts brought by the Shadow Warrior, and use these instincts to resist Esdeath's attacks.

It is most appropriate to use Esdeath as a training target.

After all, Altria and the others won't be as unrestrained as Esdeath - Esdeath will fight without hesitation, at most she won't kill you, but she won't hold back too much!

Only such an attack could allow Roland to more easily sense the fighting instincts of the shadow warrior.

Moreover, although her physical fitness after drinking the Demon Essence of the Demon God may be better than that of General Budd, it is still far inferior to Roland in the shadow fusion state.

After the gods' blessing raised him to Lv3, the Shadow Wolf became a god, and he possessed the Shadow Warrior, Roland's physical fitness far surpassed that of Altria even when he did not transform into a shadow dragon, did not activate the wolf's blood, or was even in a semi-fused state.

It's even stronger than Hercules' physical fitness after he went berserk!

It's not something that the current Esdeath can possibly offend.

So even if her attack hit Roland's vitals, it would not be a big deal. Even if Roland hesitated because of his instinct of distrust, his speed would allow him to catch up immediately after he reacted.

Under such circumstances, Roland quickly adapted to the mode of fighting relying on the instincts of a shadow warrior, and then he kicked Esdeath out.

"Use the imperial tool."

Roland said this first, and then he added another sentence.

"Don't worry about the rumor that if there is a fight between two imperial tools, one of them will die. Even if it is true, I don't carry any imperial tools with me."

After hearing what Roland said, Esdeath didn't feel that Roland looked down on her.

Or in her eyes, this is normal!

After all, she was good at fighting and she could feel that Roland was just using her to practice, so she felt bored now. It was normal for her to be more serious!

What right do the weak have to show mercy to the strong!

but...
