"This scroll contains the techniques for crafting Imperial Arms?"
Hearing Lin Que's statement, Najenda was stunned.
"This..."
This shouldn't be possible, right?
Just as she was about to question him, Najenda remembered the fate of those who had just questioned Lin Que and instinctively closed her mouth.
Then, she smoothly remembered that Lin Que seemed to be able to hear inner thoughts.
"Don't be nervous, Najenda."
Noticing her embarrassment, Lin Que spoke.
"As long as your doubts are reasonable, I naturally won't kill you."
"As for whether the techniques on this scroll are real, we just need to craft the first one, and it will naturally be proven, won't it?"
Najenda nodded: "You are right."
"Then I'll leave this matter to you."
Lin Que casually tossed the scroll, worth 100,000 points, into Najenda's hand.
"As for materials, the imperial treasury should still have some stock."
"I'll give you three days. Go gather the blacksmiths in the Imperial Capital and have them craft the first Imperial Arm."
"Yes!"
Najenda replied, then suddenly froze.
No, something feels wrong.
As a traitor to the empire and Lin Que's captive, shouldn't she be locked in a dungeon?
Why did she, in such a muddled way, suddenly take on such a huge task?
"Work hard!"
Stepping down from the throne, Lin Que patted Najenda's shoulder: "I have high hopes for you."
He was going to slack off first.
...
As the saying goes, when there's work, the secretary does it, and when there's no work, they do...
After throwing the task of recreating Imperial Arms to Najenda, as the ruler of the empire, Lin Que naturally began to enjoy the perks of being an emperor.
Every day, he would directly summon the Night Raid members and Esdeath for high-intensity joyous music parties.
Out of twenty-four hours a day, at least twelve hours were spent in joyous revelry, playing various instruments, with constant honking sounds.
Occasionally, when he got tired of it, he would go out for a stroll.
He would casually clean out the rats lurking deep within the Imperial Capital, as well as the various forces eyeing the Imperial Capital.
In less than three days, Lin Que had cleared out a full ninety percent of the nobles in the Imperial Capital.
As for outside the Imperial Capital, the Path of Peace to the east sent a letter of surrender the day after hearing about the drastic changes in the Imperial Capital.
The Southern Barbarians and the Revolutionary Army chose death over surrender, and like the Northern Barbarians, they were directly annihilated by a long-range nuclear explosion from Lin Que.
The Western Kingdom was smoothly brought under his control after Lin Que casually killed its king and showed off his strength.
Three days later, the landscape of various regions in the Akame ga Kill! World underwent earth-shattering changes, and Lin Que effortlessly became the undisputed ruler of the world.

Vast amounts of wealth continuously accumulated, and famous blacksmiths from all over were directly brought to the Imperial Capital by Lin Que.
Progress in all aspects advanced simultaneously, shocking Najenda and further accelerating the crafting of Imperial Arms.
And on the third day, following the process recorded on the scroll, Najenda successfully produced the first Imperial Arm.
All-Severing: Extinction.
That's right, it was the large scissors used by Sheele.
Because there was a reference original nearby, the materials required for this Imperial Arm were relatively simple, and the crafting technique was on the lower-middle side.
After consideration, Najenda designated it as the first Imperial Arm to be crafted, and successfully produced it.
"Your Majesty, this is the finished product."
Handing the newly forged Extinction to Lin Que, Najenda's face showed a look of emotion.
"It proves that the techniques recorded on the scroll you provided are actually real."
"With this crafting result, everyone in the Imperial Capital is very optimistic about mass-producing Imperial Arms."
"Now, as long as enough materials are collected, this plan can officially begin."
Although she was working for Lin Que, Najenda was no longer so resistant.
The reason was simple: Najenda had heard about Lin Que's actions over the past few days.
The elimination of corrupt nobles, the defeat of external threats.
Despite some regret regarding the Revolutionary Army, due to Lin Que's intervention, the empire, which was originally heading towards destruction, miraculously experienced a turnaround.
Centered in the Imperial Capital, the imperial commoners' eyes once again shone with vitality, and similar scenes were spreading outwards.
For Najenda, whose ambition was to let everyone live a good life, this was equivalent to achieving her dream. ...
Given this, helping Lin Que work was naturally no longer resisted.
However...
Just as Najenda began to fantasize about a wonderful future, Lin Que's voice suddenly rang in her ear.
"Najenda, I... ahem, I'm about to leave."
Najenda: "?"
"I know you're confused, but it's true."
Lin Que raised his finger and tapped her forehead, transmitting the relevant information.
After a moment, Najenda suddenly sighed, a look of understanding on her face.
"Otherworld, Hakoniwa... No wonder Your Majesty appeared so suddenly and was so powerful."
"Well, that's pretty much it."
"While I'm away, you can continue to lead those craftsmen in forging Imperial Arms."
"If you encounter any trouble, you can go to Esdeath for help."
Lin Que gestured towards the palace not far away: "Although her personality is still the same, she has been temporarily subdued by me and won't cause trouble anymore."
Najenda nodded: "I understand."
Although the news came somewhat suddenly, Najenda quickly accepted it after the initial shock.
Thinking about it carefully, the emperor being absent for a long time seemed bad, but Lin Que never really managed things anyway.
She was already in charge of organizing the recent memorials and personnel transfers.
Now that all hidden dangers inside and outside the empire have disappeared, before the crisis of the new 1.7 arrives, Lin Que's presence or absence doesn't seem to make much difference.
"Then I'll leave it to you."
After putting the Imperial Arms he had just obtained, along with those he had collected before, into his Gift Card, Lin Que patted Najenda's shoulder and spoke again, just like three days ago.
"Keep up the good work, I have high hopes for you."
Najenda was a little moved: "Your Majesty, I..."
"Of course, it's also fine if you don't work hard; if you don't do it, there are plenty of people who will."
Before Najenda could finish her sentence, Lin Que's voice came again.
"When the time comes, I'll make time to come back and switch to someone else in charge, it's no trouble."
Najenda: "..."
Give her back her recent move!
....
