"Our Empire hereby establishes a friendly relationship with the warrior Jaden. Our country will respect him and not infringe upon any aspect of his life. We will abide by this oath under all circumstances. Under the witness of God, I swear to seriously implement this friendship treaty. I, the current head of the Empire... no, I, Otto Glaude, the 256th Emperor of the Empire, hereby declare!"
Jaden looked at the guy in front of him, who had sought him out individually after interrupting him and Erina, and said such a bizarre, unconnected thing. He couldn't help but sigh.
"Hey, did you call me over just for such a boring thing?"
Hearing Jaden say this, Otto seemed to have anticipated it and slowly shook his head.
"It may indeed be a very boring matter for you, but the significance is different for me-your military might already surpasses the firepower that can be conventionally used in the modern era. In fact, in the modern era, your threat may be even greater than the threat posed by super-firepower, which cannot be used casually."
Otto sighed deeply.
"Even if I were hiding in the Imperial Palace in Rome, and had my army prepare defenses and alertness in advance-if the one who wanted to kill me was you, then I would definitely die."
"Therefore, in my judgment, your deterrent force is comparable to super-firepower. So, treating you, who possesses this level of military might, with the methods used for ordinary people would be a complete disrespect to you!"
"In my eyes, you are a Superpower embodied by a single person!"
"That's why I presented this peace treaty... and it doesn't matter if you find it boring, because my arrival today is merely to state my position, to let you understand my attitude toward the 'nation' named Jaden. That is enough."
"-This is a unilaterally declared peace treaty!"
"I apologize for boring you, but this is something I must do. My apologies."
Hearing Otto say this, Jaden met his gaze.
He could tell that this person named Otto, the current head of the Empire, genuinely held this belief, which made Jaden sigh again.
"Boring... Since it's a unilaterally declared peace treaty, and I have indeed heard it, then let this matter end here."
Saying this, Jaden stood up, intending to leave.
But at that moment, he suddenly turned around, and as Otto's eyes widened, Jaden appeared directly in front of him and swung his fist!
Otto felt a blur before his eyes, and the next second he experienced the feeling of those who had faced Jaden before!
It was a very pure, very overbearing, very direct-manifestation of violence!
Not violence directed at the body.
-It was violence directed at the will!
If one's will was not strong, they might instinctively do something absurd to ensure they weren't targeted by this man the moment they faced him!
Yes, this crisis had surpassed the level where simply turning around and running could bring peace of mind!
It was a massive crisis where even the option of escape was abandoned the instant it was perceived!
Otto's eyes were wide open, and he slumped into the sofa.
There wasn't a single guard in the room, because he knew very well that bringing guards would be meaningless.
He hadn't expected Jaden to suddenly strike!
So... was he going to die?
Just as Otto's eyes widened and his life began flashing before his eyes, Jaden withdrew the fist that had whizzed past his head, controlling it so that it didn't even graze his scalp.
Then, with a look of horror and bewilderment on Otto's face, he placed the fist in front of him and slowly opened his palm.
The moment he opened his palm, visible steam rose from his hand.
Otto looked and saw Jaden holding a scorching hot bullet!
The instant he saw the bullet, he turned around to look behind him.
Then he noticed a bullet hole had appeared in the wall behind him!
Because he had just been directly facing Jaden, he hadn't even heard the sound of the shot!
In other words...
-This man named Jaden had acted before the bullet penetrated the wall!
This...
Clink.
Jaden casually tossed the casing onto the ground, then listened to the commotion outside the door and glanced at Otto.
"It seems your unilaterally declared peace treaty actually has some use... You handle the rest yourself, and don't bother looking for the assassin."
Saying this, Jaden turned around, hands in his pockets, and walked unhurriedly toward the door that Otto's guards had opened-as naturally as if the guards had opened the door simply because he was leaving.
"I'm a little bored anyway, I'll go play with that guy~"
Jaden walked straight out.
These guards were Otto's own, yet when Jaden, the most suspicious person, wanted to leave, they directly opened a path for him.
They only reacted after Jaden was gone, then looked at Otto with some embarrassment.
Otto sighed when he saw his guards.
"I don't blame you... If any of you had dared to stop that man, even my fastest plea would never have been quicker than that man's fist."
Saying this, Otto instructed the guards to clean up the room.
As for the assassin...
Heh, targeted by that man, what a pathetic guy.
...
"Plan successful~"
On a relatively distant hillside, Junko Enoshima put away the sniper rifle in her hand.
The other Despair Remnants had been captured through the combined efforts of the forces brought by Byakuya Togami and the team dispatched by Totsuki, led by Fuki Kure.
What awaited those Despair Remnants next was investigation.
Those who had done bad things, those who intended to do bad things, and those who hadn't-these needed to be carefully distinguished, then slowly dealt with and assigned.
However, Mukuro Ikusaba, the older sister of the Ultimate Despair Sisters and the leader of the Despair Remnants, was already considered an 'insider.'
Fuki Kure even actively brought her along when capturing people!
This confirmed Mukuro Ikusaba's betrayal to the captured Despair Remnants!
And Mukuro Ikusaba herself had a bitter taste in her mouth.
She was sighing and pulling a long face in her room right now.
-Crap, I've really become a traitor!
The other Ultimate Despair, Junko Enoshima, fled immediately after Izuru Kamukura lost.
Afterward, there were signs that a small boat had been taken out from the island.
So no one expected that Junko Enoshima hadn't run; she had remained on the island!
The sniper attack on Otto moments ago was carried out by her!
However...
"My target wasn't Otto, it was you-Jaden!"
Saying this, Junko Enoshima put down her backpack and took out a basketball-sized isolation container from it.
Inside the isolation container was a sapphire blue crystal.
-The Royal Orb!
Also considered a versatile Wish Stone by the Togami family!
But in reality, because they possessed the Royal Orb, and Izuru Kamukura was also one of them before, only Junko Enoshima and Izuru Kamukura knew.
-This thing was not a Wish Stone at all.
In the hands of those who couldn't use it, this thing was an instant-death poison!
It seemed that even being isolated wasn't entirely without danger, although Junko Enoshima and Izuru Kamukura hadn't discovered any danger from the isolated Royal Orb so far, the old Togami family head had left this dying message before the experimental base was destroyed:
'Wrong, we were all wrong, hahaha, we were too greedy... it was the Royal Orb, we were all harmed by the Royal Orb! This isn't a Wish Stone, it's a Curse Stone!'
He left this sentence before he died, but even now, Junko Enoshima didn't know what the incoherent old man meant.
However, in the hands of Izuru Kamukura, the artificially created user of the Royal Orb, it would indeed exert its effect.
But the unfortunate thing was that the Royal Orb's effect wasn't wishing, but guidance!
If you had a strong desire to fulfill, the Royal Orb would guide you, allowing you to fulfill the wish yourself!
The Royal Orb would provide a continuous flow of ideas and possibilities to the person being guided.
But as a price-using this thing meant enduring the curse it carried!
Even Izuru Kamukura, an individual specifically created by the Togami family to use the Royal Orb, couldn't use it for long periods. Even he couldn't resist the curse for too long, and after handling the Royal Orb, he would fall into an extremely weakened state, taking a whole day to recover.
"Perhaps only the Royal Family recorded in the Togami family's history could completely ignore this curse and, under the guidance of the Royal Orb, establish that massive kingdom without a name-but a clan that only exists in legends must have long gone extinct, even if it truly existed~!"
So...
Junko Enoshima laughed.
"If Jaden can't use the Royal Orb, he will die instantly-if Jaden can use the Royal Orb like Izuru-senpai, he will also fall into an extremely weakened state, and then I will kill him~!"
Thinking this, Junko Enoshima knelt on the ground, holding the container with the Royal Orb, slowly raised her head, her lips stretched so wide they almost reached her ears.
"The hope that Jaden brought when he defeated Izuru-senpai will definitely turn into despair with his death~"
"Hahaha, hahahaha-Despair, let everyone despair!"
Junko Enoshima was already immersed in her fantasy.
Mukuro Ikusaba wasn't by her side, otherwise, Mukuro Ikusaba would have noticed-Junko Enoshima at this moment was different from her usual self!
While she wasn't a normal person usually, she now seemed to have acquired a mental illness on top of her already abnormal state!
She was more frantic than before, more despairing than before!
And the Royal Orb, held in her arms, was emitting a very faint light.
