Starting in Akame Ga Kill with... Eh? Super Robot??

A/N: MAJOR SPOILER ALERT~

================================

Silence reigned over the Empire's Grand Colosseum as the crowd's fear had been reborn anew after witnessing the result of the battle below.

No, it couldn't even be called a battle at all, a one-sided massacre too wouldn't be enough to describe what had happened in that instance…

For that man who brought fear to all of them did nothing yet the red headed swordsman who had been reaping flawless victories time and time again was compressed into a ball of flesh.

A sight so gut wrenching that it could make almost all audiences of this spectacle vomit their innards out… 

Fortunately, the unbelievably disgusting mass throwing up event didn't happen because they were afraid to face the same fate as Reinhard if they dared to disgust that man in the slightest.

"Hmm, very well"

The man too had obviously noticed the silent chaos he had caused and decided to do one good thing.

"All of you can leave, I only have business with this insect" , said Ryoma impassively as he retracted his World Devourer's Presence. 

He is not a man of excessive cruelty after all, so there is no need to terrorize those bunches of insignificant space dust more than that. 

Furthermore, he had already massacred all of them accidentally when he was courting his dearest wife, that is why he no longer had the urge to do it all over again…

Then as if a dam had been broken, Ryoma's voice that was neither loud nor soft unleashed the chaos suppressed by the people's overwhelming fear.

They no longer cared for anything but escaping from that man, they couldn't be bothered by whoever was trampled in their desperate attempt to flee. As long as they could get away from that man as far and as soon as possible, nothing else matters. 

The deafening silence was no more as a cacophony of screams, wails, and retching echoed from all over the Grand Colosseum, a perfect twisted symphony for the ensuing chaos.

And ironically, the man who brought fear to those people had shed less blood of the innocents than themselves at this moment…

"A– And the– the winner–"

"It's too soon to announce it, young man" Ryoma stopped the stuttering ex-marine with a wave of his hand then pointed towards the orb of flesh that was once Reinhard. "Only one life is gone"

"Wha– what do you mean?" 

At first, Wave didn't understand this man at all…

"What the–"

But after he looked in the direction where this monster was pointing at, he finally did…

That ball of flesh was somehow still moving and continuously growing in size! 

Was Reinhard still alive after being turned into that? Or could he revive himself? 

Though it didn't matter that much…

"Umph! *Blaaargh!"

Because the sight was utterly disgusting that Wave couldn't help but throw up his breakfast and lunch.

"Well, It turns out your supernatural charm is so extraordinary that it could make people vomit" 

"Ha… Ha… Who are you? Who sent you here?!" the revived Reinhard, complete with a fresh set of the same clothes he wore previously ignored his fellow otherworlder mocking remarks and questioned with anger.

He was pretty sure that he chose the PvE contract type in the beginning, then why did a hostile otherworlder that is far superior than him was in the same world as himself!

Did The Company just discard him? But why? Why would they be willing to ruin their integrity for a nobody like him who doesn't have any intention of harming The Company in the first place?!

Alas…

"Do you introduce yourself to an ant you just squashed?" 

He didn't receive the answer that he wanted and instead got turned into splattered blood and organs that painted the arena's floors red.

But of course, Ryoma didn't even move an inch when Reinhard faced his second death of the day.

"Is it The Company? Did they go back on their contract?" 

"Our deal matters not to a mere pawn like you" 

Reinhard asked once more as he revived but immediately faced his third death after an invisible force squeezed his whole body flat.

And this marked the beginning of his vicious cycle of death and revival…

He tried to fight back, trying to stop the cycle with everything he had, all divine blessings he could think of…

"Persistent, yet useless…"

Yet all of them were fruitless, it was as if his divine blessings and powers were a joke in front of this monster as he killed him again, again, and again.

Although he had a saving grace, if it could be called one of course.

"This is getting stale…" 

That is this monster was starting to get bored of killing him…

Even if he never used the same methods twice, slaughtering a helpless creature repeatedly is his wife's thing and not his own as he prefers a fight in which he could go all out to reach greater heights.

And for this bug? It couldn't even make him lift a finger! If not for It trying to sully one of his adorable iceberg's alternate self and torturing It being a side quest from his lovely maid, he couldn't be bothered with this insignificant creature!

Speaking of his adorable iceberg…

["Es, Yuno, how is it going on your side?"]

He assigned her alongside his adoptive daughter to handle the red headed bug's servants, so he was curious if they had already finished their task or not.

["Fufufu~ It's already been settled since a while ago dear~ Courtesy to our adorable daughter"]

A beautiful voice of a mature woman rang in his mind. If the still paralyzed Ice General could hear it, she would definitely fly in anger as this was the voice messing with her mind earlier.

Her rage too would surely be magnified a few degrees if she saw the owner of this voice as it is literally herself just from a different reality!

["Ohh Yuno did? Aren't those heroic spirits quite strong?"]

["Hehehe~ they sure are papa! But I still defeated all of them easily!"]

This time, a cheerful young girl replied to him, her voice was smug and full of pride.

But she really had the right to feel so as she had just trampled a team of Nasuverse Heroic Spirits with ease including The King Of Knight Artoria that had been buffed with an infinite mana pool plus all of her Noble Phantasms!

["That's my girl!"]

A sincere sincere gleeful smile too couldn't help but bloom on Ryoma's face as he listened to his daughter's battle achievement in relish, dazzling and casting away the fear of those who still set their eyes on the arena except for Reinhard who was still in the process of revival after his whole body was spaghettified.

Although…

["But you didn't go overboard on them just like I told you before right, Yuno?"]

His smile faded as he asked if his daughter didn't deal irreparable damages to The Company Products to smoothen his deal as an expression of sincerity.

["Umm… Yeah I didn't go overboard... I really didn't…"]

["Yuno..."]

It turned out she really did, his lovely daughter is incapable of lying to him after all. 

But a man can hope, maybe she went overboard but not the point of annihilating their existence right?

["Don't worry dear, Yuno only gave those pests some flesh wounds"]

Her mama tried to take her side and reassured him that Yuno really didn't damage the servants that much.

But hearing the term "flesh wound" from the woman who could be called as cruelty given form, he was not convinced at all! 

["Ahhh Mama you are not helping!"]

The guilty girl in question too knew that her mother just dug her own grave deeper and began to panic. 

Her papa would definitely punish her if he saw what she had done to those pests!

Wait, that didn't sound too bad…

["Alright, I'll just have to see for myself.."]

["Papa don't!"]

Ignoring his daughter's plea, he began to access his wife's vision using his marriage bond while multitasking to keep the bug's death-revival cycle in motion.

Murky sky…

Ashen snow fall…

The same Empire's Grand Colosseum but was no longer looking so majestic as if it had been abandoned and left to rot for countless years…

These apocalyptic scenes were the ones that greeted him first, an alternate dimension his wife created to separate the red headed insect's servants from Itself.

But speaking of those servants, arrays of dark red crystal marbles were what were left of them…

Yeah this was no longer a flesh wound, those servants' flesh were basically nonexistent as they had been minced countless times to form those marbles!

["Es. My dear… I don't think this can be called mere "flesh wounds", no?"]

["How so? Look closely, their souls and cores of existence are perfectly intact!"]

["I know but… Haish forget it…."]

Though he didn't continue the debate as it is impossible to change her mind and instead focused his gaze towards the beautiful pink haired girl dressed in a modest Japanese High School Uniform standing on the arena who was trying to act innocent and adorable while hiding the ferocious battle axe behind her back.

["In any case, I'm still proud of you Yuno. But exercise some limits next time okay?"]

["Yes… I'm sorry papa…"]

Now that his misbehaving daughter had shown her remorse, there was no need for him to pursue this matter any further.

["Good girl, now let me finish my job first so that we won't be late for dinner"]

And it was time to end this bug once and for all.

"Right, I heard you asked about what happened to your servants and where did I take them?" 

So Ryoma started, with a question which would begin the collapse of this bug's mental state. 

"Hah… hah… what?"

And indeed it worked wonders, as he could see signs of mental breakdown from the red haired man as soon as he was revived.

"No… no no no! Don't tell me!" 

The longer he kept his silence, the worse the sanity of the red head became, as if his company provided [Stress Defense] was nonexistent.

Was he imagining vile acts that probably befell his servants?

Oh how disgusting a man's mind could be….

"I didn't ruin their dignity as such low acts of debauchery are below me, bug."

"Is– is that so…"

After his answer that none of the bug's repulsive imagination had happened to Its servants, it seemed like It had calmed down albeit a little.

But what would happen when he showed this bug the fate of Its servants?

"Although I hope you won't mind that my daughter had gone a little overboard on them"

So without any further ado, he tossed the dark red marbles that were once the bug's servants to the ground in front of It, eager to see what would be Its next reaction.

"What are these? Where are they?!"

The bug fell to Its knees as It tried to gather the marbles with trembling hands, the light of hope slowly fading from its eyes.

Was it still trying to deny reality? Even when the answer was right before Itself?

"Minced and cut to countless pieces to form these marbles, a creative and marvelous way to end someone don't you think?"

Alas, Its denial of reality couldn't change anything as his worst enemy stated the truth…

A truth so excruciating that the Contractor who had taken the name and form of Reinhard van Astrea had decided to end himself in a burst of flames like a phoenix.

But his ashes would remain as ashes, no more he was willing to revive as his life had no more meaning without his beloved companions…

["Uhh papa, did it just commit suicide?"]

"Yes it did Yuno, It died a meaningless and pathetic death"

Not even trying to drag him down to hell with one last hurrah after knowing that all Its loved ones perished because of him…

If that wasn't pathetic, then he doesn't know what is.

[Oh, It seems like you are almost done here Master. What a coincidence]

"That it is, and I assume that the deal has done well?"

Truly a coincidence indeed, the Contractor was dead and now his system maid was going to report the result of their deal with Its agency.

[Precisely~ The Owner has agreed to our terms of Complete Erasure of all Mrs. Esdeath's and Young Miss Yuno's copies and records from the Company alongside imposing a restrictions to the contractors so that they would never be able to interact with the two ladies' variants in exchange for The Company's System Security overhaul and one Prime Origin Essence]

"Ohh? How come The High and Mighty Owner agreed to our terms so easily?"

He understands the allure of Prime Origin Essence that can elevate an entity's status from a variant into the main entity, but why would that guy give the same value to a Security Update?

[Let's say that it was thanks to my feisty sister who is currently partnering with codename G in her quest to hunt you down]

"Eh?"

So it was because of G's System? But how? And why??

[One of the Company contractors tried to capture her partner in the past and in retaliation, she corrupted 30% of the Company's assets through its integrated System. So that is why The Owner agreed for a security overhaul that would prevent it from happening the second time]

"Understandable…."

No wonder The Owner took the Security Overhaul deal seriously. Losing a third of his assets is no joke, especially for a Company Owner that has taken roots in countless realities. The amount of losses are very much beyond mortal's imagination.

"Anyway, I assume that all of our objectives are done?"

[Indeed Master, It's time to return. I too have prepared quite a scrumptious dinner for all of us!]

"Hahaha, thank you as always, Theresa"

Now that Ryoma had nothing to do in this place as all of his mission objectives and goals for this world had been accomplished, It was time to return home so that this world could be restored to its proper state before any outside interference.

"Well then–"

"Oh my~ Leaving so soon already after utterly ruining my tournament~?"

Although before Ryoma managed to enter the emerald swirling portal he created behind him, his feet alongside the arena's floor were encased in a layer of frost as a truly familiar voice of the woman he loves dearly called him out.

And leave he didn't, not from his inability to break out from the frozen floor but caused by his surprise upon seeing the drop dead gorgeous General Esdeath that had descended gracefully on to the arena in front of him.

As this Esdeath that wasn't married to him was still alive!

Ryoma really didn't understand, he already left the fate of this world's Esdeath to his dearest wife and wouldn't interfere no matter what. He even erased this world's Ice General presence from his senses and didn't put a single glance at her when he entered the Arena.

So why? Why was his wife's alternate self still alive? Even daring enough to eye him with such predatory gaze as she slowly approached him?

If he was in her shoes, he would immediately kill his alternate self on sight without mercy!

'Dear, why didn't you kill your alternate self?'

And so, as the wise said, ask if you don't know…

Even when he could directly pry the information from his wife's mind, asking her directly would be more appropriate in this case.

'I already did, but too bad that she passed the test~ As expected of myself~'

A test? Why would she bother testing her other self that has the potential of becoming her love rival?

Then for what reason? She quite literally didn't have any use of her alternate self!

'What kind of test?'

'A similar test our beloved daughter passed a few months ago~'

'A test that Yuno– wait, you gotta be kidding me….'

And after realising what test his wife did to herself from this universe, Ryoma's eyes widened in disbelief.

Because there is only one test that his foster daughter did….

A cruel test of life and death from his wife that made his foster daughter worthy of having the same status as herself!

So faced with a worse headache, Ryoma asked again with a hint of anger through his mind. 'Why would you do that in the first place?! You know that I'm not greedy for more when I already have you, Theresa, and Yuno on my side!' 

He really couldn't understand his dearest one's line of thought this time…. 

He clearly had declined the advances of so many women including his preferred love crazed yanderes in the previous world. 

She too had helped in cleaning up the ones who were too daring. 

So why the sudden change of mind? Did she eat a new untested recipe from Theresa?

'I know dear, but didn't you realise that at first you are just mine and mine alone?'

'I…..'

He really couldn't refute that…

He couldn't deny his lovely System Maid, Theresa, as he is very much indebted to her for all that he has…

And for the case of his foster daughter, as immoral as it is, he was unable to ignore her undying love that has been tempered in hundreds of billions of life and death cycles…

'So that is why, as I can no longer be your only one. I decided to put a test for those who desire you with eternal damnation as a price to pay for their failure….' his Esdeath then continued on, her voice gentle yet held the sadness of acceptance within.

She understood that her beloved man could no longer be hers and hers only.

The defective digital intelligence is too beneficial for her husband for her to get rid of, It is utterly impossible to remove it too with her current strength. 

And as for her daughter, even after she killed her again, again, and again, each with methods worse than the latter, that girl's improper love for her father could never be extinguished so she had no choice but to respect it and give the little girl a chance.

Thus, the least she could do was set up a nigh impossible test so that her husband would only have the best of the best.

'Sigh, I'm the worst huh?'

A hypocrite, he said that he is not greedy for women but he already has three on his side… 

'Fufufu~ that you are~ Though I'm glad that even with your irresistible charm and strength, you didn't go around sleeping with random bitches you found pleasing to the eyes'

'What do you take me for? I'll have Theresa erase me from existence If it happens!'

Indeed, he might be a Destroyer of Worlds but a cheating husband he is not!

'Then I'll kill myself too so that you won't revive using our soul marriage bond~'

'I'll count on you~ Anyway, didn't you say that you only test women who have a desire for me?'

Now that Ryoma's headache from his wife's abrupt act had been cleared, he brought back the conversation to one mystery left…

'Yes, do you have any objections my Emperor~?'

'No but, didn't this world version of yours hadn't even seen or known me when you gave her the test? So how could she have any desire towards me?'

Indeed it was strange, why did his dearest test a woman who was unaware of his existence?

'Oh that…'

'That?'

Now what happened here? Did his wife was confused to explain it or she was still hiding something from him?

"First you ruined my show, now you are ignoring my grievances, how bold of you~?

Alas, before his Esdeath could find the proper term to explain it, this world's Ice General was already standing close to him, only within a half arm's reach.

"Wha– Since when did you—"

Unfortunately, before Ryoma could react, the starved lioness had already put her right palm on his cheek, her simple touch soon turned into a gentle caress full of love and longing, as if her long lost treasure had finally returned to her hand.

"Ahh~ I see~ No wonder!"

And finally, the last mystery, this world's Esdeath having no desire for him was answered…

["This connection…. How did she even…."]

Indeed, while it was not as unhindered and clear as the one formed between him and his dearest, it was still there…

A soul marriage bond between him and this Esdeath exists!

[Ohh let me answer that, Master!]

[After your Psychotic Iceberg fused with a Prime Origin Essence and became the Main Existence, the Soul Marriage evolved and now you are practically married to all Esdeath in existence!]

[But of course, a trigger such as physical touch is necessary to establish the bond, and to complete it, you must do the stuff only spouses can do!]

[And there is no need to worry about the unpleasant stuff that might or might have happened to infinite variants of the psychotic Iceberg out there, their background and timeline have been automatically adjusted by the Great Record so that only you can claim them, Master!]

And in a timely manner, as if had been waiting for this moment, his lovely system maid come-in to the rescue!

["That's…. what she said…."]

["*Gulp, Papa… One mama is already so scary… I cannot imagine more…"]

But of course, she didn't rescue anything. In fact, she made things even worse with this revelation!

Married to all Esdeath in existence? 

That is a nightmare come true! Hell he could barely reign control over one so he couldn't imagine what would happen if countless others were ganging up on him!

"Oh my~ Why are you spacing out like that?"

Nevertheless, he didn't have time to digest the unrealistic turn of events…

"Maybe because the love of your life is already in front of your eyes? But why didn't you kiss her yet?"

As his collar got pulled down hard by the impatient Esdeath 2, forcing his head to be on her level.

"Please have some decency ma'am, I'm a married man…"

Ryoma refuted yet his aloof godlike image he showed in the beginning couldn't help but began to crumble when faced with this mortal which he could erase from existence with a mere thought.

Those eyes, staring into his own with unsettling obsession…

Ragged breathing, like a predator that is impatient to devour her prey whole…

Truly a familiar sight indeed, one that can easily make him helpless every night…

"Well yes you are…" His nemesis too had noticed his moment of weakness and pushed on, sweet yet seductively whispering into his ears. "To me of course~"

"I am not–"

Trying to pull away he did, but as if his own body was no longer in his control, the furthest he could manage was the distance of a few inches apart separating their lips…

"Well~ If you don't want to give it, I'll just have to take it~"

A perfect distance for the lioness to land her coup de grace~

"Oh no you won't~"

Too bad that she didn't get to taste the sweet and tender lips of her prey as a gloved hand appeared out of nowhere and held her face, hurling her away to the other end of the arena.

"Because he is married to me already!"

And she knew that voice…

Her very own voice, the same voice of that godlike entity that was messing with herself earlier!

"Married to you? Ha! Dream on– wait…"

But the Ice General was in for a more surprise after the frost dust from her counterattack that was effortlessly shattered by the entity finally cleared up…

The same hair, blue and silken, cascading gracefully on her back…

The same beautiful face and eyes yet with a distinct and alluring mature charm…

The same sinful figure yet taller and more refined, barely hidden beneath that similar yet more proper military uniform...

"You… are…."

And finally, she knew why the entity had the same voice as herself and dared to proclaim the love of her life as her own…

"Me?!"

Indeed, even with those differences, she couldn't mistake it for someone else, the entity who tortured, killed, then brought her back to life was herself all along! 

"Fufufu~ just like seeing through the mirror, no? Though with a reflection that is more beautiful than the original~"

"But– but how? Are you really me?!"

The Ice General could care less for her older self mockery, she needed an answer for this utterly ridiculous turn of events!

Maybe she was mistaken and this oddly similar woman was not herself? 

Maybe it was her sister? One who was missing years ago and now she returned just to spite her?

Or maybe the one in front of her was her long deceased mother? But that was impossible, she clearly witnessed her burial with her own eyes!

"I assure you, none of those ridiculous ideas of who I am are correct."

And as if reading her mind, her older self unbuttoned two buttons from her shirt, revealing a glimpse of her fair skin alongside her two heavenly mountains.

But of course, as a woman who was seeking for an answer to the dreamlike situation she was in, her focus was not into the more formidable assets of her counterpart but towards the unique mark above them. 

The exact same Imperial Arms' Mark of her own, Devil's Extract…

"Yeah…. You really are me…. from the future?"

"Almost correct~ But it's not like you know the term for it" her older self answered with a teasing smile as she buttoned up her shirt once more.

From the future but not at the same time…

Indeed, she really didn't know the term to describe something that is so confusing.

So she decided to bring back the most important topic.

"Right… Then you are married to my husband?" 

"Not yours, but MY husband~"

She got her answer but her killing intent couldn't help but be reignited once more as the future self of hers clinged to her man and despicably stole his kiss.

A kiss that should have been hers to begin with!

"And not for long…."

So she drew her blade, and back down she would not until she cut off this bitch's head! 

"Oh~ It seems like that kind of torture isn't enough for you?"

The otherworld Esdeath too narrowed her eyes and the world's temperature instantly dropped to a freezing point.

She gave her alternate self a chance yet this punk wasn't the least grateful for it? It seems like this pipsqueak needed to be taught a harsher lesson! 

"Enough, both of you!"

Fortunately, with a command from the man that the two lionesses were fighting for, their deadly clash was stopped before it even began.

Even after almost getting sexually harassed by his wife's alternate self and harassed by her true self right after that, Ryoma's dignity as the World Devouring Emperor and as the leader of the household still remained.

"Es, let's start with you…" His gaze turned to his adorable iceberg still clinging to his chest, his voice stern as he reprimanded her. "This is your decision, so don't back down on it and don't make things hard for her"

"As you wish, My Emperor~" and without any argument, she agreed but after stealing another peck before nuzzling deeper into his chest much to her counterpart's annoyance.

"That fucking…..'

"And you." 

"Y-Yes!" 

Esdeath from this world instinctively took a position of attention just like when she was first enlisted in the military as her love turned his eyes on her.

She didn't know why she suddenly became so meek and obedient unlike her usual self but somehow she didn't dislike it in the slightest.

"I'll make it official later but for now…" Ryoma then continued, gently smiled and offered his right hand to her. " Welcome to the family!"

"Ah y– yes, I'm honored to…." 

And thus, as this world's Esdeath approached The World Devourer and shook his hand, her fate had been sealed and forever shall she belong to his, not even death could take her away from him.

"Ohh! Welcome to the family Mama two!" 

But as for Ryoma himself….

"Pink hair… Mama…. So you have another woman besides me and myself?!"

A new and everlasting headache had just begun as his adorable pink gremlin popped out of nowhere beside her new mother.

"Well, Here we go again…."

And he could only hope that he wouldn't encounter more variants of Esdeath in this lifetime…
