"What are you doing? "

The man lit his cigar and did not wait for Maria's reply.

He stood there waiting for her answer, as if he were deliberately teasing her.

"Um...can I refuse?"

Maria asked in a somewhat timid voice, still clinging to a sliver of hope.

"Do you think I bribed your village chief with a lot of money to buy you out? Do you think you had a choice?"

He raised his chin, signaling his men to make their move.

Having received the orders from above, those men no longer hesitated.

Chapter 472: The Disappearance of the Empire (The Finale)

You still saved me.

"Don't overthink it. I just feel you still have some use. Rather than falling into the hands of those scumbags, it's better for you to be of use to me."

Kanzaki Teru said calmly.

At his feet lay several thugs, the same guys who had plotted against Maria and tried to sell her to the city's nobles. Killing these filthy fellows like this was far too lenient.

Soon after, Kanzaki Teru brought Maria to the capital of the empire.

What are we doing here?

Maria asked with great confusion. During this journey, she and Kanzaki Hikaru had become quite familiar with each other and knew that the other party was not the kind of ruthless killer. Therefore, she no longer had the fear and timidity she had at the beginning, and sometimes they could even joke with each other.

"Naturally, this journey to another world is both its ultimate and initial purpose."

Kanzaki Teru said calmly.

This filthy and ugly empire must also be completely destroyed, otherwise the countless innocent souls will never find peace.

"Your goal is the Empire!"

Maria was startled because her special ability told her that Kanzaki Teru was a powerful figure from another world, but she had never known his purpose until now. She now realized that his target was the Empire.

For the world's greatest power, and the most sacred and inviolable empire, for over a thousand years, any existence that dared to defy it has been reduced to ashes. No one or no organization has been an exception. The empire's invincibility has become a fixed concept in everyone's mind. Even Maria herself dared not imagine that anyone could actually overthrow the empire.

However, Kanzaki Teru actually wanted to overthrow the empire.

But Maria could see an unprecedented determination in Dead Guy's eyes. Subconsciously, this incredible and utterly unbelievable thought took root in her heart. People from their world couldn't do it, but people from other worlds couldn't do it either. Maybe everything really could be as the powerful Kanzaki Hikaru from another world said, and the empire could be completely overthrown.

What happened next proved that Kanzaki Teru's words were not false or exaggerated at all.

"Wait here a moment, it will be over soon."

Kanzaki Teru said something to Maria.

moment--

Kanzaki Hikaru's figure was already hovering in the sky.

This blatant provocation was naturally noticed by the Empire's powerful figures. Some residents even stopped in their tracks, mocking Kanzaki Hikaru's overestimation of his abilities. They thought he should just obediently be a puppet to be exploited by them instead of daring to defy the Empire and court death.

But one by one

Before the empire's powerful figures could issue a warning or launch an attack, Kanzaki Hikaru's attack came first.

Dazzlingly bright—

An unfathomable, divine light descended from the sky.

"What's this?! "

"An attack of at least the ninth rank? How is that possible? How could such a powerful being be born from those ants outside?"

Suddenly--

Both the subjects and the powerful figures of the empire were gripped by panic.

The entire capital was enveloped in an unholy glow, and what was truly unbelievable was that their bodies were melting away little by little.

"Oh no! My body is disappearing! What about the empire's powerful warriors?"

"Kill this demon quickly!"

"Quickly..."

Whether it was the empire's powerful figures or all its subjects, although they did not feel any pain, everyone screamed in panic at the disappearance of their own bodies.

But this process seems irreversible.

Before Maria's stunned eyes, the entire imperial capital, a city that had stood for a thousand years, was completely reduced to ashes.

At this moment, Maria truly glimpsed the terrifying nature of Kanzaki Teru, something that was completely beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.

God?

Yes, only God could do all this.

"Let's go! It's time to go home."

Kanzaki Teru descended from the sky, breaking through space and taking Maria away from this world.

This is just his temporary stop.

He destroyed the empire only as a way of repaying the countless souls who helped him escape danger; he wanted to return to his own world, which was his true home.

There were still people waiting for him there.

Kaguya Shinomiya, Asuna Yuuki, Kurumi… they’re all there!
