"No need, since everyone's busy, let's just leave it at that." Tao Jing shook her head.

"Shh..." Erica breathed a deep sigh of relief, then froze for a moment. Wait, did Chief Tao only specify me? Does Chief Tao like my type? Her heart jumped into her throat in an instant.

"I...I'm leaving now, Chief..." Erica, covered in sweat, backed away and hurriedly ran out the door.

Tao Jing frowned: "Why has Erica become so impulsive again? The academicians spoil her too much. It seems we need to give Erica some extra training to temper her impulsive personality."

The palace grounds, which had been reduced to ruins, had been rebuilt into a huge central square. The wooden execution platform stood at the very center of the square, a hundred meters above the ground, so that everyone who came to the square could see it.

At this time, the empire's great nobles, dukes, marquises, earls, imperial ministers, and even the young emperor were all bound hand and foot and kneeling on top.

Around the execution platform, at intervals stood an Awakened One wielding a machete, their eyes filled with hatred and excitement as they looked at these nobles of the old empire.

They wailed and struggled, stared at by countless eyes around them; their crotches were already wet and emitted a foul stench.

Some criminals, however, were filled with numbness and despair. They had been locked up in prison for half a month, living in extreme fear every day, and had become completely numb.

"The moment has finally arrived. A brand new history is about to be born today." A pink-haired girl stood behind the execution platform, her hair pinned down by headphones, a lollipop in her mouth, and a very fashionable red plaid skirt.

"Chelsey, come a little closer, or you'll get splattered with their blood, it's hard to wash off," Mine called out.

“Yes, although we used to be assassins, we don’t do that anymore.” Leone said confidently, arms crossed. “We’re the director of the National Supernatural Department now, we can’t be like before.”

"Big Sister is getting arrogant now that she's in power. Look how smug she is," Lubbock whispered in Brand's ear.

"Ahem." Brand coughed lightly. Idiot, Leone advanced to the third rank yesterday. Even if you speak in a low voice, someone will hear you.

"Raborg... what are you saying? I'm hard of hearing, I didn't hear you." Leona grinned and clicked her fingers.

"No, I didn't say anything..." Lubbock was sweating profusely. Seriously? They heard him even when he was speaking so softly?

“Idiot…” a tall girl with long purple hair, wearing glasses, and looking dazed said softly.

“Yes, Hill is right, Rabo is very stupid.” Akame nodded blankly.

"Alright, stop fooling around, we're about to start," Najenda said seriously as she walked over, dressed in a black suit.

"Yes, Minister." Everyone from the original Night Raid responded in unison.

Their night raid leader was originally a staff officer in the Revolutionary Army, and is now the Minister of the Extraordinary Department of the New Nation, equivalent to the Guard General and concurrent Military Minister during the evil old empire.

"Huh! Minister, your aura is much stronger than yesterday, you've reached the third rank?" Chelsea said in surprise.

“Yes, that’s right. Leone is already at Tier 3, so I, as the club president, can’t fall behind,” Najenda said with a smile.

"Speaking of which, I really owe you a lot during the time I was imprisoned at headquarters. If it weren't for you, I probably would have been executed."

Chelsea wiggled the lollipop in her mouth: "It was because you gave me 'Source Awakening' first, and I happened to awaken it. When you were imprisoned, Minister, I realized what those old guys were planning."

"Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh—"

At this moment, a deafening roar of shouts interrupted Chelsea and Najendan. They quickly looked toward the entrance leading to the execution platform. Tao Jing and a group of soldiers walked over solemnly, while the crowd cheered wildly, as if they were calling for their 'savior'.

That is the true savior who brings light and a future to all, and liberates them from the shackles of the empire.

"Waaaaah—" Ernest, kneeling on the execution platform, had his face contorted in terror, tears streaming down his face. He knew his death was imminent.

Everyone else would have been beheaded, but he wasn't, because a torture bed specifically designed for slow slicing was placed in front of him.

"Don't be in such a hurry...hehehe..." An old Awakened opened his mouth, which had lost several teeth: "I fought for this opportunity for a long time. I even specially learned the techniques of slow slicing. I guarantee I will slice you into 30,000 pieces before you die."

"My awakened superpower is body healing. Your Excellency, you may not believe in my novice skills, but you must believe in my superpower, hehehe..."

“Waaaaah…” Minister Ernest trembled with fear, his mouth stuffed with rags as he made continuous whimpering sounds.

The awakened one looked up at the highest platform, his eyes filled with worship and fanaticism.

Tao Jing walked up to the high platform, looked at the dense crowd in the square, felt the thunderous shouts, and slowly raised her hand.

The thunderous roar gradually subsided, eventually becoming utterly silent.

"Friends who share the same ideals, I hereby declare that from today onwards, the old era has ended and the new era has begun."

"You can cry for the grievances and injustices suffered in the cruel old era, or you can laugh for creating a better tomorrow together."

"The world and this land do not belong to a specific group of people, but to everyone who lives on this land."

"Therefore, the world belongs to each and every one of you, and this land belongs to each and every one of you."

"If one day, a group of people claim to be the masters of this land, want to rule and dominate, and want to send you back to the old days, then don't hesitate, unite and throw all your fists."

Tao Jing's voice echoed throughout this city that has gathered tens of millions of people.

"I declare that a new era has been established!"

As soon as the words were spoken, everyone burst into tears and shouted in unison.

"Long live the new era! Long live the new era! Long live the new era!"

Tao Jing raised her hand, and the shouts of millions of people quieted down again as she made her announcement once more.

"The air that sinners of the old era cannot breathe in the new era. I hereby declare that the execution of the sinners of the old era begins!"

Countless eyes were fixed on the imperial nobles on the execution platform, especially Ernest and the young emperor who shouted in unison.

"Kill them!!!"

Amidst the roars of the crowd, the executioners collectively raised their swords and brought them down amidst the struggles and fear of the criminals, fountains of red liquid appearing as heads fell.

"I... am a sinner." The young emperor watched as his former subjects cried out to kill him, unable to breathe. He had learned everything in prison: he was merely Ernest's puppet, and the people of the empire were living in misery under his incompetence.

Countless people have died because of his incompetence.

"Please proceed," the executioner said coldly.

As the emperor, although he was a puppet, he was still given some dignity and allowed to walk to the execution ground on his own.

"I apologize, though I speak a little late," the young emperor said to the executioners, before calmly walking onto the guillotine.

"May the new country bring happiness to its people."

brush!

The guillotine fell.

Then came the main event: amidst the shouts of the crowd, Ernest was stripped naked and tied to a rack. The rag in his mouth was pulled out, and a few teeth fell to the ground.

"Aaaaaahhhhhh... Kill me, just kill me!" Ernest roared hysterically in terror as he watched the executioner excitedly sharpening the blade of his dagger.

The people from Earth certainly didn't want to see this, so they silently left.

From noon until sunset, Ernest was still alive, but he was nearing his end.

"Thirty thousand cuts complete." The executioner said, tossing the last piece to the ground with a hint of satisfaction.

After finishing, he slowly walked down from the execution platform, leaving Ernest to die naturally on it.

The people in the square did not leave; they just stared intently as Ernest breathed his last.

It wasn't until after midnight, when Ernest's death was confirmed, that the crowd gradually dispersed, satisfied.

After the crowd dispersed, the executioners began the cleanup work.

At this moment, in the temporary conference hall, all the representatives from this land were sitting here, looking at Tao Jing, who was sitting in the front seat and giving them instructions, as well as the seniors who were guiding them.

"Can you stay? Do you really have to leave?" a representative asked, his eyes red and his voice choked with emotion.

"Please stay, Chief Tao. We still need your guidance."

"Yes, you were the ones who first sounded the clarion call for this new era, and we are all your followers."

"Are you really leaving? Can't you really stay?" Mine asked, her eyes red and tears streaming down her face. She choked out, "You who created this era are the real heroes."

"Please, please stay." Najendan looked at Tao Jing and the others, her voice choked with emotion. The savior who had shown them what 'truth, goodness, and beauty' and 'happiness' were about to leave. How hard it was for them to accept.

"Please, please stay."

"Please, don't go."

Everyone in this conference hall is a representative of a region and a superhuman who has obtained a Holy Mark. Most of them, including Yuan Yexi, have reached the third rank, which is currently the highest rank of superhuman.

Tao Jing pursed her lips, clenched her hands, and looked at the pleading faces. The words she had prepared got stuck in her throat, and her eyes couldn't help but redden.

The new era of human civilization on this planet was established by her and everyone else together. Although it has only lasted for a little over a month, almost two months, they, who share the same ideals, have long developed an inseparable bond.

However, she has a more important mission. If she didn't have a more important mission, she might have chosen to stay.

"Everyone, our departure is not a final farewell."

"We come from a star in the night sky. We have preserved some technology in our base for you. This is our final gift to you."

"When your civilization has developed to the point where you can leave this planet, that will be the time for us to meet again."

Even if we leave, we will still be proud of you and proud of bringing a new era to you.

"Don't be sad. When we meet again, you will surely be a truly ideal civilization."

Everyone in the conference hall finally broke down in tears; they could not ultimately keep their savior.

……

At dawn, a pale white light appeared in the sky, while the people of the capital were still asleep.

Everyone from Earth came to the square and stood together.

The representatives from the world of Akame ga Kill! looked at them with tears in their eyes, reluctant to part. The people from Earth were also very saddened by this, as these representatives were all their students.

"Hey, I've taught you everything I need to, so you all have to give me a perfect score," Zhou Yunban said, his eyes red and his voice choked with emotion.

"Teacher...do you really have to go?" Najenda asked, her nose red and full of reluctance.

"Sigh... take this, take a look when you have time." Qian Zhenli sighed, took out a booklet from her pocket and handed it to Najendan.

This is a manual he wrote for operating and maintaining satellite communication equipment.

Without professional maintenance, the device can only operate on its own for two or three years at most. It can directly contact civilizations on this planet, and although the communication time is short, it is better than nothing.

"We're leaving." Tao Jing produced a silver bead in her hand and tossed it into the air.

hum~

Silver ripples spread out, and the next moment a silver beam of light descended, enveloping them.

"Goodbye!" The Xia people waved goodbye to the representatives.

In the next instant, they disappeared into the silver pillar of light, which followed suit, as if they had never existed.

“We will definitely make this world the way we dream of, teacher.” Najendan held the booklet, tears streaming down her face.
