"Besides yourselves."
"What else could attract gods?"
Hearing Leone's words, Sora didn't answer directly, but seemed to answer by asking Leone back.
"..."
Leone fell silent.
No.
No.
It wasn't that this price was too great. On the contrary, in Leone's view, this price was really too small.
Just by paying herself, the entire world could return to peace and tranquility.
Could this really be achieved?
"Lord God, is it true that just by paying ourselves, we can change the entire world?"
At this time, a mature and steady voice came through.
A woman with silver short hair, an eyepatch over her right eye, a mechanical right arm, wearing a black women's suit with a heroic bearing had somehow appeared behind Leone and Hill.
"Boss..."
Leone opened her mouth, not knowing what to say.
At the same time.
Along with Night Raid's leader Najenda came two other women.
Walking in front was a girl with beautiful black hair, crimson eyes, wearing something like a student uniform, with a long sword hanging at her waist. She looked somewhat airheaded, but actually, the killing intent emanating from her body proved she wasn't simply an innocent girl.
Especially in the eyes of Sora, Persephone, and Ker, her body was filled with countless bloodlust - the bloodlust that came from killing opponents.
Walking behind was a small-statured girl with pink twin-tails, a pink long dress, paired with slender legs wrapped in black stockings. Yes! At a glance, she was clearly a loli-type girl.
She made one want to ruthlessly ravage her.
Akame.
Mine.
In Night Raid, except for Chelsea who hadn't joined yet, all the other females had already arrived here.
"To be precise."
Sora glanced over everyone present: "For me, besides yourselves, there seems to be nothing else that could interest me."
"The desires of a god?"
Najenda was very calm, saying words that were somewhat frightening.
Who knew if Lord God would fly into a rage?
"Well!"
Sora was unconcerned: "More or less. I'm the God of Darkness. All negativity is controlled by me. I don't restrain my desires, nor will I be controlled by my desires, but I will follow my desires."
"Of course."
"This isn't the point."
"The point is."
"Yourselves."
Sora's words left Najenda and the other women confused, not quite understanding what this "yourselves" meant.
"How to explain this..."
Sora pondered slightly, smiling as he explained: "Every world has people beloved by the world. You can call them protagonists, and you are all people beloved by the world."
"You might die."
"But similarly."
"Before you die, you will do things that can influence the world."
"This is the world's love for you."
"Because of this."
"This is your own value."
While speaking, Sora said to Ker: "Ker, go handle things."
"As you command, Your Majesty!"
Ker bowed slightly, stepped out, and had already disappeared without a trace.
"Najenda, Akame, Mine, Leone, Hill."
"You are all people beloved by this world."
"Your future selves."
"Could also overthrow this corrupt Empire and establish a new order."
"Of course."
"It wouldn't have much meaning."
"This world has already been eroded by the darkness of human hearts. No matter who takes charge, the ultimate result is just repetitive cycles, like one reincarnation after another."
Sora quietly explained to the five women, raising his head to gaze into the distance, but with a rich smile at the corner of his mouth: "Speaking of which, Persephone, the world you chose is really perfect. The darkness of this world makes me very fond of it too."
To be honest!
Before coming to this world, Sora had never imagined.
That the darkness of this world would be so terrifying.
It was darkness born from human hearts that had completely infected the world, leaving the entire world in corruption and darkness.
Cycling repeatedly in this darkness.
Empire established, corrupted, overthrown, established...
Completely trapped in reincarnation.
"Dust, I never expected this either."
"However."
"Looking at it this way, this world is indeed the most suitable as the initial first step."
Persephone was also smiling broadly.
When initially selecting, she just felt this world was very suitable, combined with some ideas about Imperial Arms.
She never expected.
This world would be like this.
"Then..."
Najenda opened her mouth, saying carefully: "Lord God, are you willing to help change all this?"
Najenda also knew that the one before her was the God of Darkness.
For the God of Darkness, unless one was an idiot, anyone could understand that such a dark world would be more interesting to him, right?
"Hmm~~~"
Sora looked at the five women, smiling: "Of course no problem. However, it's still the same question - are you willing to pay with yourselves?"
Sora waved his hand, and five retainer contracts were already floating before the five women.
"If you're willing, then sign this contract."
"If you refuse..."
"Then."
"I'll send you to the Underworld. I believe in hell, you'll be willing to sign this retainer contract."
"After all."
"From the very beginning, you never had the qualification to refuse."
"Isn't that right?"
Sora smiled broadly, but his words made people feel endless chill.
Very sorry.
Sora was a genuine God of Darkness, not some easily talked-to deity.
