In the world of anime and manga, the best partners

Najenda wanted to say something more, but Krydela grabbed her chin, silencing her.

Krystal easily sliced ​​her own palm and clenched her fist, letting her golden blood flow into Najenda's mouth through her lips.

"I am a Golden Blood with special powers, and also a Godslayer who slew the Titans and seized their authority!"

"The power I possess far surpasses the empire you speak of!"

As she watched her blood gradually take effect on Najenda, Crydela casually turned the hand that was holding Najenda's head toward Esdeath, who was standing to the side.

"This is Han Yingjue. A month ago, she might not have been your match. But after absorbing my power, she gained the strength to crush you in a very short time. You should have experienced this firsthand, right?"

"Becoming a Golden Descendant not only grants you a long lifespan, but also allows you to become stronger, even possessing special powers like Lord Han Ying. You should understand all of this, right?"

Seeing Najenda's expression grow increasingly ferocious, Krystal released her grip on Najenda's cheek, letting her cover her mouth as her body trembled more and more noticeably.

"So, Lord Purgatory..."

"You should become a Golden Child too!"

PS:

I haven't decided on a title for Najenda yet, so I'll just use a few as substitutes for now, and change it when I find a suitable one...

I started a thread in the book review section to see if there are any suitable partners and worlds to choose from in the future. Book lovers with ideas can post them, and I'll take a look.

Kerr & Hazel / Scarlet Eyes: Chapter 38 Audience with Tarantun?

Feeling the blood boiling within her, Najenda's face was deathly pale. She had never experienced such pain in her entire life, nor had she ever even heard of it!

A god-slayer who stole the authority of the gods…

This was how Krydella had introduced herself. Najenda had initially scoffed at it, but after feeling the rapidly rising energy within her body, her worldview completely collapsed.

Does God really exist?

Najendan thought no.

Najenda's rise to the rank of general within the empire was due not only to her exceptional abilities but also to her pragmatism. She didn't believe in superstitious tales or myths, only in what she saw with her own eyes…

Since birth, Najenda had heard tales of gods but had never seen one herself. However, when she investigated these so-called legends, she never found any useful information.

They're either lost Imperial Arms or Court Arms, which have fallen into the hands of malicious individuals and are causing trouble, or they're powerful and dangerous species...

In short, Najendan does not believe in the existence of gods!

If it doesn't exist, then what's inside my body?

When the golden blood entered Najenda's body, her soul seemed to leave her body and arrive at a place enveloped in scalding gold.

Where is this place?

The thought had barely crossed her mind when a colossal divine form appeared before Najenda…

Without a doubt, this is God!

That towering figure exudes a presence far beyond that of ordinary humans at all times, a presence that even the legendary super-dangerous species could not possess.

The sight was so unfamiliar that Najenda's eyes widened in shock. She didn't dare to make a sound or move an inch!

The next second, the deity lowered its head and looked at the tiny Najendan.

Confusion, fear...

Countless emotions were thus mixed up in Najendan's mind, to the point that this valiant female general completely lost her original understanding of the world.

At that moment, the majestic deity stretched out its palm, and the scale-like mark appeared before the woman's eyes. Then, Najenda's consciousness vanished...

In reality, as she looked at Najenda, whose body was already bleeding, the light around Krysdra slowly faded.

"Phew, this transformation seems much more difficult than with Esdeath. Is it because Esdeath is too strong?"

In Crydella's mind, Esdeath was equivalent to the pinnacle of humanity in this world, so converting her would be incredibly simple. But to her surprise, converting Najenda was more than five times more difficult than converting Esdeath!

"It seems I'll have to be a little more careful when using legal powers in the future..."

Those who are too weak are not suitable to be transformed into Golden Blood, because Cerberus would have to pay a huge price to use the power of law, which is a bit too much for her, a demigod.

Even so, it's still much simpler than the world of Onpharos, at least Krydela doesn't have to use her own life to inscribe rules onto the world...

Well, this isn't the world of the Scepter Calculation after all, and we don't know what kind of changes Crydella could make to the world by sacrificing her own life.

"Lady Caesar!" Esdeath's voice rang out from the side, "What should we do with this green-haired man? Should I take care of him?"

Despite Najenda being a general from the Empire, and even suffering a complete defeat at her hands, Esdeath had no objection to her becoming a Golden Child.

First of all, this is Lord Caesar's decision.

Secondly, Najenda is a Teigu user.

In the end, Najenda did indeed inflict damage on herself in the previous battle, and even helped herself gain more powerful strength!

Esdeath would never object to someone like that joining her faction...provided the other person is truly willing.

If you harbor thoughts of betrayal, then don't blame Esdeath for being ruthless!

"Ah, this guy..."

Lubbock, a member of the main group in the original work, joined the army because he liked Najenda, and also joined the resistance because he liked Najenda.

Despite his voyeuristic tendencies, he is devoted to true love. If Crydella were to bestow a title upon him, it would surely be "Lord of Pure Love."

In the original work, Lubbock seems to use a Teigu made of threads, but now he... is just a slightly stronger ordinary soldier, and has no value for the time being.

However, just because it's not there now doesn't mean it won't be in the future.

Najenda has already seen the Tarantun that Krydera created through her legal powers, and we believe she will make the right choice…

And this future "Pure Love Duke," if he truly loves Najendan, will inevitably make the same choice!

If both of these two can join your side, then you will have already completed most of the system's requirement of "five named characters from the original work".

If they don't join, Crydella won't go easy on them just because they're part of the main characters... Mercy is reserved for Caesar's people, but there's no need to be merciful to those who are useless to her or even a threat!

"Let's keep it for now. Although it's weak now, it might become a powerful asset in the future."

With a flick of her cloak, Cerberus stopped looking at the two prisoners lying on the ground and walked towards the passage to the side.

"Let's continue our operation, Cold Shadow Lord..."

"Now that the Empire has already taken action against us, it's about time they started to understand our situation."

"Han Yingjue, are you able to unify the North as quickly as possible?"

To Crydella's question, Esdeath smiled slightly and confidently replied, "Of course!"

“Excellent!” Krydella’s lips curled up. “Once the entire north is unified, we will all head east!”

"The East is a real sea; Lord Sword Banner should really enjoy the scenery there, right?"

As soon as she finished speaking, even Esdeath could sense an indescribable tenderness in Crydella's tone...

—

Inside the imperial palace of the empire.

"Complete...total annihilation?"

Upon receiving the message from his scout, Ernest's face clearly showed panic.

What was wrong with Najenda? Why did she suffer such a complete defeat?

In Ernest's mind, Najenda was extremely talented and capable; logically, even if she failed, she shouldn't be completely annihilated by others, unless…

Is the opponent too strong?

"Why have the northern tribes become so powerful? We just defeated them six months ago..."

Ernest's eyes narrowed. No wonder there hadn't been any useful intelligence coming from the North in the past six months. It turned out that some guys had blocked the news!

Fortunately, I have now obtained crucial intelligence and absolutely cannot continue to allow the northern barbarian tribes to grow stronger.

"Send the order to immediately assemble all available troops within the empire. We absolutely cannot allow the threat from the north to continue to escalate!"

"Yes!"

Just when Ernest thought things were over, another messenger rushed in, even doing several somersaults on the ground before finally crawling to Ernest's feet.

"What's the rush? Can't you be a little more elegant? This is the palace, what's the hurry?"

Ernest intended to reprimand the soldier, but the soldier suddenly spoke up, and what he said made Ernest realize that something was wrong.

"Something terrible has happened, Minister!"

"The rebels have suddenly launched attacks on several noble territories within the empire, and many areas have already fallen!"

puff--!

The moment the soldier uttered the message, blood gushed from his neck, and his head, filled with panic, fell to the ground, startling everyone around him who took several steps back.

The minister, who had been elegantly eating a chicken leg, now had a ferocious expression, with veins bulging on his forehead.

"I knew things wouldn't be that simple!"

"So the rebels had already cooperated with the northern barbarians long ago. No wonder I haven't heard anything from them!"

"Go and call someone to bring Sheila back to me, the sooner the better!"

Kerritt & Heather / Scarlet Eyes: Chapter 39 The Prophet

The Empire's minister, Ernest, was furious because the rebels and the northern barbarians had formed an alliance without his knowledge...

Ernest had no evidence, but he didn't need any; suspicion was enough.

Judging from the current situation, only this situation can explain the problem, right? Why did the rebels take action immediately after the northern barbarians had just defeated his 30-strong army?

Could it be that the people on the rebel side are kind-hearted and willingly cooperate with the situation in the north?

How can it be!

Although Ernest had never met the rebels directly, he had dealt with them for many years and knew what they were planning to do.

The empire was brutal, and so was he; Ernest had a very clear understanding of this. He also found it perfectly normal for ordinary people to want to rebel against such an empire and themselves.

But here's the problem: who says that people who want to rebel against a brutal empire are necessarily good people? Can't they just be another group of brutal people?

There are stories of warriors slaying dragons, but there are also stories of warriors transforming into dragons!

At least in Ernest's own view, the biggest reason why the rebels wanted to overthrow him was that they wanted to take everything he owned.

Ultimately, it's a conflict of interests.

In any case, Ernest did not believe that the high command of the resistance would have any good intentions to cooperate with the North in this operation; after all, a certain exchange of interests had been reached.

"If that stubborn old man Bud could just come out on his own, I could save so much trouble."

The Empire's only Grand General at present, Bud.

This man is a typical conservative, adhering to ancestral precepts and not getting involved in politics; he is a representative of traditional martial artists.

However, this general did not seem to have any intention of leaving the capital. After all, he still had the important mission of protecting the emperor, so the commotion caused by the rebels outside the capital had to be dealt with by other departments of the empire.

"But now it seems like having a son was a good choice? If we had had more children back then, maybe we could have built a decent army?"

As expected of Ernest.

Even his own sons were like expendable soldiers in his eyes, of little significance; he even wanted to have more...

—

On the other side...

The reason the resistance was able to act so quickly was due to a certain event.

"I never imagined so much would happen. Thank you all for your hard work, members of the Assassination Society..."

A beautiful woman with white hair and purple eyes looked at the four people who had returned before her with a gentle smile. These were the four assassins who had gone to the Northern Kingdom: Barbara, Melard, Chelsea, and Myoko.

"Alright, enough nonsense, leader of the Anning Path, you should already know that all of this is going to happen, right?"
