That Yama, the King of Hell, actually became the emperor?
Most people were initially overjoyed, but then became apprehensive, fearing that this Yama Emperor would go mad and wipe out the entire capital.
In a single day, more than 10,000 people were arrested, and countless nobles and officials had their homes confiscated and their families exterminated. The methods used were extremely tyrannical.
This action made the entire empire realize that there are indeed only wrong names, not wrong nicknames.
The name of Yama, the King of Hell, resounded throughout the entire empire.
Volume 1: Chapter 65: Rivers of Blood, Turbulent Times (4k)
In just a few days, the entire capital was shrouded in a bloody atmosphere.
Not only corrupt officials and nobles, but also the unscrupulous businessmen they colluded with, underground forces, and all sorts of illegal activities were brought to light, and all the evils were dealt with in order of severity.
The prisons in the capital were overcrowded. The guards were amazed to see high-ranking officials being imprisoned like dumplings being dropped into a pot, displaying an ugly and unsightly manner.
They were even more afraid of that Yama Emperor.
Even during the darkest periods when ministers held power, not so many officials had been imprisoned and dealt with.
Especially when they saw the minister's four right-hand men being subjected to terrifying tortures by the three demons, even these seasoned veterans who were used to bloodshed and darkness couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts.
Times are really changing.
The prisoners directly under the minister's faction received special treatment, and each of them suffered a fate worse than death.
This Yama Emperor made no attempt to conceal his dislike for his ministers.
Deep inside the prison, Zank, the Teigu user who served as an executioner in the prison, looked at the large number of prisoners in the prison, his face twisted for a moment, and then he burst into laughter.
Having beheaded so many high-ranking figures, the days ahead will be fantastic.
His bloodlust grew stronger, and he longed to start a massacre immediately.
During the years that the minister ruled the empire, he killed countless prisoners as an executioner, and even suffered from hallucinations and went insane.
The influx of a large number of prisoners has worsened his condition, pushing him further down a path of depravity from which there is no turning back.
Before Zank could make a move, the Imperial Guard stormed into the prison and began purging the prison system's personnel.
Upon realizing that Zank was not behaving normally, they promptly notified Night Raid, the new emperor's direct subordinate organization, to capture Zank in order to prevent unnecessary casualties.
Although the Imperial Guard is considered an elite force, it is still difficult to contend with the users of the Imperial Arms.
In particular, Zank's Imperial Arms, Five Visions, can be extremely powerful if used properly.
Let the professionals handle it.
During this period, the Night Raids acted as the blade, targeting the mid-to-high-end combat forces in the capital.
Whether they were users of Imperial Arms or experts from the Imperial Fist Temple, they all fell to their hands.
Yalin was puzzled by the Night Raid's actions. How come the Imperial Fist Temple's trained experts were all over the capital, and a lot of them were scoundrels?
Officials and nobles of any standing would hire a few guards to act as their protectors, and then happily collude with them in their evil deeds.
Even the minister had trained at the Imperial Fist Temple in his youth, and his seemingly bulky body was actually extremely robust. His strength was enough to overpower ordinary Imperial Arms wielders, which was the source of the minister's confidence in living to 130 years old.
This temple is no ordinary place; it has nurtured so many talented individuals who wreak havoc on the world. We must take strong action against it.
In addition, all the Imperial Arms users of the Empire were also summoned by order of Arlin.
He plans to study the rules of these Imperial Arms and try to analyze and replicate them.
If successful, after several years, they might be able to wholesale ordinary Imperial Arms, greatly enhancing the Empire's strength.
Let's unify the whole world while we're at it.
Yalin stared at the map, which was covered in a jumble of colors, and realized that he had a bit of obsessive-compulsive disorder.
......
In the palace courtyard, Yalin stroked a cat while listening to Najenda and Akame's reports.
Najendan is suited to be a general and leader, and he plans to reinstate this former Imperial general and then lead a large army to persuade the revolutionary army to surrender.
Although the effect may not be significant.
The revolutionary army had been preparing for the uprising for several years and had even formed an alliance with three major ethnic groups. It was no longer something that could be stopped at a moment's notice. The momentum that had been formed was pulling the revolutionary army forward.
Moreover, Yalin's actions during this period were tantamount to giving the Revolutionary Army a direct push.
Once the situation in the capital is exposed, those officials and nobles with guilty consciences, knowing the name of Yama and understanding that the executioner's blade will eventually fall on their heads, will naturally not submit to slaughter; it is not surprising that they will struggle desperately.
The revolutionary army, an organization that rebels against the empire, is bound to attract their attention, and they will then try every means to join it.
In the original plan, the revolutionary army responded to the calls of local governors and officials, and thus pushed all the way to the capital.
To say that all these officials who responded to the call were righteous is nonsense.
There were indeed officials with a conscience; in fact, most of the officials who contacted the revolutionary army in its early days were of this kind, and their influence was relatively pure.
However, most of the later entrants were opportunists who swayed with whichever wind blew.
Many of them originally belonged to the ministers' faction, but they "repented" and transformed themselves into members of the revolutionary army.
Even after the Revolutionary Army established a new empire in the manga, Akame continued to assassinate governors who harbored ambitions to split the territory and establish their own country, as well as other ambitious individuals, without taking a moment's rest.
Once the empire has stabilized somewhat, they will have to go to the island nation in the east to find a way to lift the Murasame curse.
The addition of these officials and nobles will undoubtedly greatly enhance the strength of the revolutionary army, making the time ripe for them to refuse. The revolutionary army cannot and will not refuse.
Yalin was waiting for the revolutionary army to rebel together with the three major ethnic groups, so that he could sweep them away and scatter all the forces of resistance.
Let this flame spread from the capital to the rest of the country, burning down this thousand-year-old, decaying empire, and then rising from the ashes.
After finishing her report, Najendan withdrew.
Akame gazed at the pile of pastries on the stone table and Yalin, who was about to feed the cat. She didn't leave immediately, her crimson eyes fixed on the pastries.
She'd never tried this kind of pastry before, but it looked delicious.
"Sit down, let's chat a bit more." Seeing this, Yalin handed the macarons in his hand to Akame.
The girl didn't stand on ceremony and swallowed it whole. Then her eyes lit up, and she unleashed a whirlwind of activity, the pastry disappearing at an alarming speed.
"Meow~" Chelsea, who had been waiting to be fed, was displeased when she saw this.
Yalin soothed the cat, then quickly picked up the last piece and fed it to Chelsea, before having the maids bring some more.
The Akame sisters' craving for food gave Yalin a sense of camaraderie; they were true gluttons.
Chelsea meowed and began to chew slowly.
"How have you been feeling about work lately?" Since they were going to have a chat, Yalin didn't mind playing the role of a caring leader.
Yalin handed over the assassination squad's superior, Nishimiya, to the Rakshasa Three Demons to deal with. He planned to hand over this squad to Akame, believing that this girl would not disappoint him.
"Not bad." Akame looked at Yarin and smiled beautifully. "Although he killed many people, they were all villains who deserved to be buried."
Compared to the confusion and hesitation in the assassination squad, there was uncertainty about the future when in the revolutionary army.
With Yalin, she didn't need to think about so much; she only needed to complete the task and send the wicked person to their grave.
Seeing the gradually improving atmosphere in the capital, her mood also brightened.
The orders of this Yama Emperor were quite to her liking.
"As long as you're happy."
Since Akame has been entrusted with such an important task, Yalin naturally needs to care about her physical and mental health; it would be troublesome if she was unhappy with her work.
"Next, Kuroko will come to the capital and become your subordinate. Reconcile with her."
Akame's younger sister, Kurome, is in charge of the Imperial Arms, the Eight Chambers, and is a member of the Empire's assassination organization.
After Akame betrayed the empire, the two sisters fell in love and fought each other, determined to kill one another.
Akame nodded upon hearing this; now the biggest conflict between her and Kurome had disappeared.
If I treat my sister to a few more big meals, everything will be back to normal.
Yalin smiled upon seeing this. Kuroto's body was in extremely poor condition due to the medication. While others might be helpless, he was special.
Putting everything else aside, Ayrin from the Type-Moon world has spent a lot of money learning doll making from Touko Aozaki during this time.
Yarin in the Naruto world also attempted to master Yin-Yang Release.
The world of ghost stories is a perfect match for professionals specializing in the spiritual realm...
Although these abilities cannot be manifested due to the underlying rules of the world, Yalin can still achieve a pseudo-imitation.
For Yalin, the Akame sisters were both a good job and a feast for the eyes, and it would be a great pity for them to disappear.
Without compromising his own judgment, Yalin still appreciates beautiful things.
......
At the Imperial Capital Guard Headquarters, Captain Oka sat anxiously in his office, pondering a way out.
The changes in the capital were so outrageous that he sensed impending doom.
The thought of that Yama Emperor's bloodthirstiness sent chills down Oka's spine.
During this period, countless people were taken to the execution ground and executed. The blood almost formed streams, and the stench of blood was so strong that it was almost tangible.
Those who had been oppressed in the past were not afraid at all; instead, they celebrated the death of their enemy while weeping and cheering for the emperor's name.
As for Minister Ernest, he was to be publicly executed a month later, to be cut into a thousand pieces and slowly sliced to death.
At that time, most of the people in the capital, and even some people from other parts of the empire, will probably come here to watch and celebrate the minister's death.
Oka didn't care about the ministers' lives or deaths. He only cared about whether he would be affected by the storm.
I was filled with fear, but there was nothing I could do.
Even if they wanted to escape, the capital city was now under a tight net, making it impossible to succeed.
Oka tried several times and was almost caught on the spot by the Janissaries.
Not only him, but most of the guard's management were also in a state of panic.
Working in the capital's security forces, there's no such thing as truly clean work.
Those who were honest and kind were long ago swallowed up by the capital, leaving not even bones behind.
