Chapter 144: Oracle and Zanku, The beheaded
Inside the Night Raid base hidden in the mountain forest, Akame sat alone in the corner of the room, staring out the window. The rain poured down heavily, wetting the green leaves outside. The atmosphere inside the base was still tense after Noah's arrival, who offered her a chance to join and overthrow the empire. She knew that this decision would not be easy, and each member of the Night Raid had their own opinions.
Akame, with her calm and slightly cold personality, did not want to get too involved in the debate. She preferred to reflect and think about the missions they had undertaken. As time went by, her thoughts drifted to Noah. She remembered when Noah defeated the other Night Raid members in an instant. His strength and confident aura impressed her.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the base, Tatsumi and Leone were discussing the possibility of joining Noah. Akame refused to be distracted by the commotion around her. She preferred to enjoy the piece of meat she had saved for dinner. Meat was the only thing that always made her happy. For her, focusing on the mission and protecting the people she loved was her top priority.
...
Meanwhile, Noah and C.C enter the C world in the Code Geass world. Noah activates his Code and silences the collective consciousness of humanity to convey the Oracle to his followers directly.
"Hear, O faithful followers of the God Vermilion, the voice of the thundering skies and the surging waves of the sea. I, Vermilion, God of the Sky and Storms, call upon you all to unite in a noble cause. The thousand-year-old empire that has long ruled the world is now plunged into darkness. Those in power have strayed from the path of righteousness, creating suffering for the people who should live in peace.
It is time to rise! The power of the wind and the currents of the sea will support our struggle. Prepare your bodies and souls, train your fighting skills, and ignite your fighting spirit. We will sail through the storms to challenge the tyranny that has robbed us of happiness and hope. Remember, I am the God of War who watches over your every step. In every drop of blood shed for freedom, I will be with you.
Brave warriors, you are my extensions. Prepare your shields and weapons, carve a contract between us; your loyalty is my promise, and in this battle, I will protect you. Worshippers and leaders, spread this news to all who yearn for justice. In unity, we will create an inescapable wave, destroying all that stands in our path to freedom.
This is not just a physical war, but a war of the soul. Do not let fear rule your hearts. Remember that in every life we fight for, a new hope is born. Together, we will rise and restore the glory that has been lost.
Hear this call, O children of Vermilion. It is time to act. It's time for war!"
The people of the Vermilion Kingdom heard a majestic voice in their minds, when they heard the contents of the Oracle, they immediately knelt down and worshiped, waiting quietly. Meanwhile, Euphemia and the high-ranking officials of the Vermilion Kingdom immediately gathered to discuss the upcoming war. As the leaders of the Vermilion Kingdom, they knew that the empire that the Vermilion Gods were referring to was in another world.
.....
"Do you mean to let them face the empire?" C.C asked.
"That's right, they should get used to fighting in another world, this war serves as training for them, maybe if we face a more dangerous situation, they already have experience" Noah explained.
"I see, do you mean infinite Space and other multiverse powers?" C.C asked.
"That's right, we are still far from reaching their power, but we should prepare".
C.C nodded her understanding of Noah's decision.
With Noah's order, the Vermilion Kingdom's war machine immediately operated, the soldiers began their training.
.....
"Euphemia, Lelouch and Cornelia, I'll leave the war preparations to you" Noah said to the leaders of the Vermilion kingdom as soon as he appeared at the palace.
"Don't worry, leave it to us. Another world, huh..?" Cornelia said with burning interest and enthusiasm. Since the earth had been united, she had not gone to the battlefield for a long time. This made the spirit that had been dormant for a long time awaken again and become even more fierce.
....
Meanwhile on the other side, the members of Night Raid gathered to discuss their latest mission.
"Our target this time is Zanku, the head beheader" Najenda said seriously while pointing to a picture of Zanke.
Zanku is a tall and muscular man with very prominent facial features, including a sinister smile that stretches almost across his entire face. He has blue eyes, short blond hair that is kept in a horn-like fringe and a pair of dark gray headphones.
"Be careful, he is a Teigu Spectator User, his specific abilities are unknown. It is only known that he has farsight, Zanku was originally an executioner for one of the Empire's prisons, but went insane from guilt after taking countless lives. He eventually escaped from his post after stealing the warden's Teigu, Spectator. He has been wanted by the Imperial Police ever since. Zanku kills random people all over the Empire to satisfy his bloodlust, beheading his victims. We must stop Zanku's madness immediately" Najenda said recounting Zanku's information.
"You will move in teams of 2 so that you can protect each other. Akame, I leave Tatsumi to you" Najenda ordered Night Raid.
"Yes" Akame answered briefly.
...
Although the imperial capital at night is quiet with a depressed atmosphere, the atmosphere of the imperial capital for the past few days has been quieter than usual, not a single pedestrian can be seen. This is because there have been frequent mass murders on the streets of the capital by Zanku in the past few days.
Zanku with a tall and muscular figure walked on the quiet streets of the empire while humming unclearly with a scary face.
On the other hand, Akame walked with Tatsumi not far from where Zanku was.
Zanku who saw their presence through Spectator immediately approached and activated the spectator illusion ability. A few moments later, Kurome's figure appeared in front of Akame.
"Kurome ..." Akame muttered with complicated feelings when she saw the appearance of her younger sister who had not been seen for a long time.
"Nee-san .." Kurome said softly as she approached Akame.
But when Kurome's figure was a few steps away from Akame, Akame immediately slashed Kurome with Murasame.
"How cruel, I didn't expect someone to attack someone they love," said Zanku after releasing Spectator's illusion ability and returning him to his original form. One of Spectator's abilities is to create illusions to make others see someone they really want to meet. The person Akame really wants to meet is none other than Kurome, her younger sister.
But the reason why Akame wants to meet Kurome is to kill her so that Kurome doesn't fall further into the darkness of the empire. Therefore when she sees Kurome, she will attack without hesitation.
Spectator has five different abilities, including:
1. Insight: Can be used to read the opponent's mind and thus predict their next move, thus increasing the user's fighting prowess. However, the user must be in prime physical condition to take full advantage of this advantage.
2. Farsight: This ability is used to search for something and seems to allow the user to have long-distance vision.
3. Clearsight: Also seems to have the ability to see through solid objects.
4. Foresight: By seeing the smallest muscle movements, the user can see what someone will do next.
5. Illusion Vision: Casts an illusion that causes the target to see the person they care about most before their eyes.
