Imperial year 1015.
Gifonola Forest.
The corrupt empire launched a forbidden project.
More than one hundred children, some as young as seven or eight, were bought by the Empire from all over the country and were thrown into this sea of trees.
Among them are the two sisters, Akame and Kurome.
The forest is teeming with all sorts of dangerous species, as well as deadly poisonous insects and wild beasts. It's safe to say that even experienced hunters cannot escape unscathed from such a forest.
But the imperial officials said this to the children:
"Either leave this sea of trees alive, or die!"
In the end, Akame and Kurome, relying on each other's support, fought their way out of the forest and achieved excellent results, ranking seventh and eighth respectively.
However, just when they thought they could live together forever, the man named Gozchi stepped forward and announced that the elite group of the assassination squad could only accommodate seven people.
Akame will never forget that day when the man pulled her and Kurome's hands apart, and then told her with a sinister smile that she could call him 'father' from now on.
This is why the team members gradually began to accept him as their father, but Akame still couldn't open her heart to him.
"Black Eyes, how are you doing? I really want to see you."
The girl, gazing at the sky, murmured these words softly to herself. Just then, Cornelia, standing beside her, suddenly remarked thoughtfully:
"This snake's meat looks pretty good. Let's have snake meat for lunch today!"
"—!"

Forget about her younger sister and the assassination squad in that instant. The girl, drooling, widened her eyes, raised her hand high, and shouted, "I'm going to the camp to get the seasoning!"
"Haha, as expected of Akame."
"When it comes to eating, Akame is always the most enthusiastic."
"You little fish, control your appetite. Don't blame me if you die at the hands of the enemy one day from overeating."
Amidst a burst of cheerful laughter, Akame dashed off towards the camp located on the southwest cliff.
Meanwhile, on the cliff, two people were watching them.
"These kids are all quite well-behaved."
The one who spoke was a tall, thin man with prominent cheekbones on his thin face, a hooked nose, and wearing a single-lens reflex lens, giving him a sinister look. He was none other than Bill, the head of the Imperial Intelligence Department.
"Of course, you don't even know who trained him."
Gozchi sat atop the corpse of a Hazardous creature resembling a Triceratops, a piece of meat cut from the Hazardous creature skewered on his Imperial Arms Murasame, and he chewed on the uncooked piece of meat.
Would you like to try some?
"I don't need it."
Bill glanced at the still-dripping chunk of flesh, his lips twitching, and changed the subject, saying, "I heard you've been training their combat abilities lately. You also need to speed up the brainwashing education, otherwise, if you train them to fight against the Empire, wouldn't that be doing all the work for someone else?"
Gozi smiled dismissively: "Don't worry, I just think we should give them some self-defense capabilities first. As for brainwashing, that can be done anytime. Is there anyone who can take them away from me?"
“Brainwashing is something that should be done when they’re still young,” Bill nodded. “So, among these kids, who do you think has the most potential?”
"Um……"
Stroking his beard, Gozchi said thoughtfully, "If we're ranking them by assassination skill level, the order would be Nahashu > Guy > Cornelia > Bonnie > Grin > Tsukushi > Akame. But..."
Tearing off a large chunk of bloody flesh, Gozchi spread his hands and laughed, "The top three are basically unshakeable, but I think Akame has a lot of potential. Although she is only this age, her eyes have never hesitated when she kills. She is simply born to kill."
“Her name is Akame…” Bill thought for a moment and said, “There is a child in my assassination squad who looks quite like her.”
“That’s her sister, isn’t it?” Gozichi smiled, as if remembering something. “They’re a pair of very close sisters.”
"My younger sister, Hei Tong, also has great potential. When she executes prisoners, she always kills them with a single blow, unlike other children who often have to make seven or eight cuts before they can breathe their last."
"..."
Gozchi didn't speak, but just smiled mysteriously.
"Could you please do me a favor and arrange for these two sisters to meet?"
"—!"
Bill leaped behind the Triceratops carcass, and Gozchi also shed the meat from Murasame. They looked toward the source of the sound, and their pupils contracted slightly.
Akame, who was hiding in the shadows, also opened her eyes wide.
—What a beautiful older sister!
Akame could swear that she was absolutely the most beautiful older sister she had ever seen. Her elegant smile, her captivating eyes, and her generous demeanor made Akame, this wild child, so envious.
Most importantly, she said it!
—This older sister wants me to meet Kurohime!
In an instant, Akame's affection for the girl almost reached its maximum.
"If you agree to my request, I can not only give you money, but also tell you some important information—you're probably curious about how I found this place, aren't you?"
The silver-haired beauty added another sentence, and no matter how you looked at it, her attitude was very sincere.
Upon hearing her say that, Akame widened her eyes and pricked up her ears to observe Gozchi's reaction.
Then she saw Gozi and Bill exchange a glance and suddenly smile.
"Hey..."
Taking a step forward, Goziqi shook her head and sighed, saying, "Miss, you are really naive."
As soon as he finished speaking...
Whoosh!
With a whooshing sound, Gozchi's arm suddenly extended like a whip, and the Imperial Arm Murasame, held in his hand, drew a cold arc, slashing towards the girl from an unbelievable angle.
"—!"
Akame almost cried out in surprise, but thankfully, the girl was quick-witted enough to jump to the side and avoid the attack.
At the same time, he shouted, "Hey, I came here with the utmost sincerity! Don't you want to know who has ill intentions towards you?"
"Once we arrest you, do you think we can't get something out of you through interrogation?" Bill licked his lips. He wasn't a lecherous man, but this girl in front of him was indeed worth keeping. Even if he didn't use her himself, if he trained her well and gave her to someone else, she would definitely be a presentable gift.
"Anyone who has ill intentions towards me, just come at me. I will crush them with my strength."
Gozci spread his hands, his voice full of composure.
Clearly, he did not see the girl as a threat; that was confidence in his own strength.
With his body honed through countless trials, coupled with the secret techniques of the Imperial Fist Temple that allow him to freely manipulate his body, and the Imperial Arm Murasame that can kill with a single blow, he is invincible. Even when facing the Imperial General Bud, he is not afraid in the slightest.
As if suddenly remembering something, Gozchi rested his chin on his hand and said, "Actually, the Akame sisters were both ranked in the top seven. Logically, they should both be in the elite seven group, but..."
He raised an eyebrow slightly, his expression grim, and said, "In my team, there can be no brothers or sisters. The only person they can truly rely on is me! So, understand? At least for now, I absolutely will not allow them to meet!"
"That's why...!"
Akame's red eyes widened with anger, but she was surprised to find that the silver-haired older sister seemed even angrier than she was.
"Then there's no need to talk." The girl's voice turned cold. "I really don't want to fight you. After all, the Murasame Teigu is really dangerous, and I value my life very much, so..."
"So?" Standing atop the massive carcass of the Triceratops, Gozchi looked down at the silver-haired girl: "You're ready to surrender?"
"I'll crush you with absolute power."
"—!"
In that instant, Akame suddenly felt the surroundings darken.
Do not!
It wasn't that the surroundings had darkened, but rather that all the sunlight seemed to be drawn to and converged behind the girl.

To generate a pair of divine scales.
With divine scales sprouting from her back and a golden halo above her head, this girl was practically a deity.
But those golden, vertical eyes, radiating divinity, held an overwhelming indifference. Her slightly pointed chin lifted slightly, and the girl's thin, translucent, crystal-like lips parted as she spoke:
"You ant, who gave you permission to rank above the gods?"

Chapter 112 Satella - Super S!
"Ah...ah..."
A trembling sound emanated from her throat, as if all the heat in her body was being sucked away, and young Akame trembled as she hugged her arms tightly.
Crimson eyes gazed at the sky, above which hung a moon—a white, enormous, pale, ominous full moon.
It was noon just a second ago, why did it become like this?
Ah, I remember now.
Because He said one thing—
"I still prefer the moon."
As a result, the celestial bodies began to rotate like a clock, the sun at the top was replaced, and a full moon hung high in the sky.
Beneath the full moon, the [god] floated there silently, devoid of anger, madness, mockery, ridicule, or guilt. The radiance emanating from his long silver hair was even more dazzling than the moonlight.
Apart from that, Akame can't see anyone else.
'Father' Gozchi?
