Eiji waits to see what happens next.
He sees Chloe looking angry as she witnesses Adonis being oppressed by two soldiers.
Although their interaction is brief, he senses that their relationship is not like a normal mother and adopted son.
Eiji is aware of sis-con and brother-con terms, but this is the first time he encounters son-con and mom-con.
Suddenly, the temperature in the square drops a few degrees as Chloe mobilizes Mana in her body.
On the stage, a cold air current centers around Chloe.
"If you value the lives of your citizens, release my student now."
"Right now!"
The staff in her hand condenses, and she doesn't hesitate to use everyone in the capital of the Kingdom of Lydia as hostages to threaten Emperor Goeth.
Emperor Goeth's expression remains unchanged, seemingly indifferent as if everything is still under his control.
"Is your silence your answer?"
A blue magic circle appears behind Chloe, ready to attack at any moment.
"City dwellers, you are humans just like Adonis. I don't want to fight you. If I destroy you, that child won't have a home to return to."
"That's why I let you live."
"But you are too dangerous!"
*Crush-Bang*
Chloe is shocked when she realizes her magic has disappeared and cannot be used.
"Witch, you won't understand the power of science we have acquired." Emperor Goeth mocks.
Jeering laughter and taunts appear on the faces of the citizens.
On the other hand, Eiji finds that the Cursed Energy in his body is flowing normally. In other words, he can use the Limitless Technique as usual.
He is not surprised that Chloe cannot use magic. In fact, Eiji had anticipated this would happen.
Among the technology of the Kingdom of Lydia, the Magical Photon Inhibitor SDAM-2 is equipment that nullifies magic. Moreover, this is the capital. Because Emperor Goeth dared to teleport Chloe, he made preparations.
Eiji is pleased to discover that the Magical Photon Inhibitor has no effect on him.
(If you think about it, that's normal. Cursed Energy and Mana are different energies. If the Magical Photon Inhibitor could nullify any form of energy, its value would be immeasurable)
After thinking about this, Eiji returns his attention to the stage.
"I'm sure you didn't expect the person you once helped would one day hunt you down."
Emperor Goeth descends the stairs and walks forward.
"It's time for you to surrender this world."
Standing in front of Chloe, he reaches for her clothes and tears them apart. In an instant, Chloe's upper body is exposed in front of the public, revealing an 18+ scene.
After exposing her, Emperor Goeth strikes Chloe's face, causing her to fall to the ground.
(This is strange... Is Emperor Goeth's disgust for witches so great that he has no interest in Chloe half-naked? If so, why did he make a Witch his queen?)
Eiji frowns, feeling that there is something wrong with Emperor Goeth's reaction.
The others show no interest after seeing Chloe's naked body. Regardless, Chloe is a beautiful woman, and no man would be disinterested in seeing her naked.
Evidence of this is that the men in the square do not blink and salivate. Clearly, they are aroused by Chloe.
Eiji himself feels his body warming up a bit even though his emotions are very calm. Simply put, his body is very honest.
(Should I help Chloe and Adonis?)
Knowing the limits of the world's power, he doesn't need to fear facing an opponent like Sukuna.
(Let's see a little longer. Let today's experience make them both more cautious)
In the end, Eiji decides to help them escape from this situation. The reason he does this is that he doesn't like owing favors to others.
After all, Chloe has been kind to him.
Eiji cannot just watch her be killed in front of him when he can provide assistance.
"A Witch who can't use magic is just an ordinary woman." Emperor Goeth says, looking at her as if she were a bug.
"Hahaha... She's naked! How funny!"
"Everyone, take pictures!"
"Look at those breasts!"
Realizing that people are taking pictures of her, Chloe crosses her arms in front of her chest.
"Don't cover up!"
"We can't take pictures of it."
The men shout in frustration.
Seeing soldiers pointing guns at Adonis' head, Chloe discards her dignity and pleads for mercy while bowing.
"Noble one, it's my fault. That child has nothing to do with it."
"As you say, Witches must be eradicated. But the child is different. Like you, he is human. I kidnapped him and raised him as my slave. He is a poor and miserable human child."
"I beg you... I beg you, as Emperor, please spare the life of that child. I don't care what happens to me."
"I beg for your forgiveness."
Emperor Goeth takes a pistol from his coat and aims it at Chloe's head.
"Adonis... Thank you for everything."
"I love—"
*Dor*
Emperor Goeth pulled the trigger of the pistol before Chloe could finish her farewell sentence. However, unexpectedly, a mysterious young man appeared on stage and pushed his hand upward.
"I'm impressed, Chloe Morgan. You're willing to sacrifice yourself for someone you love. It moves my heart a little."
"Kamiki?! Why are you here?"
Chloe is surprised to see that the person who appeared is Eiji.
"Shoot."
Raising his hand, Emperor Goeth without hesitation gives the order. Then, dozens of soldiers around them fire their guns.
The expected sight of a body riddled with bullets does not happen. Instead, all the bullets stop in the air as if held by telekinesis.
This scene makes Emperor Goeth angry, and he asks.
"Is there a problem with the Magical Photon Inhibitor?"
"The Magical Photon Inhibitor is still active and has not suffered any damage." The technical staff reports after contacting the person in charge.
"Shoot that kid."
Emperor Goeth deserves to be the ruler of the country. In the face of an unexpected situation, he remains calm and issues another command.
Eiji takes the Grass Sword from the Storage Ring. In an instant, he has drawn the sword from its sheath at a speed invisible to the naked eye.
Then, all the soldiers on stage have been cut into several pieces.
Thanks to the Grass Sword's weight as light as a leaf and physical fitness due to Heavenly Restrictions, Eiji swings the sword dozens of times in the span of one second.
Besides Emperor Goeth, who is shocked, and Queen Dorothea, whose expression is unseen behind her veil, the guards on duty have been killed.
The gory scene causes panic and hysterical screams among everyone in the square. Many of them can't handle it and vomit on the spot.
It's important to note that everything happening is broadcast live throughout the Kingdom of Lydia. As a result, many people are traumatized.
"Use this to cover yourself."
Eiji takes off his jacket and puts it on Chloe.
"Chloe!"
With no soldiers holding him back, Adonis runs to Chloe.
"Thank you so much, Kamiki." Says Chloe.
"It's too early for you to thank me."
Eiji swings the Grass Sword once again. Next, the soldiers who came are immediately chopped up before firing their firearms.
