In this crossover anime, many ruthless and powerful figures reside in my territory.

A green flare, symbolizing Liszt's return home, soared into the sky.

After comforting the ten soldiers guarding the fortress, Lister rode off swiftly towards his territory.

The road surface along the way was no longer paved with stone slabs, but had been replaced by a smooth, hard stone road surface that was polished and had no gaps, just like the one in White Moon City, making it easier to pass through.

But... Lister looked at Carol and Chris.

The former scratched his head expressionlessly, while the latter seemed unfazed.

According to the "Ritual System," in addition to the fortress where the lord resided, the territories of lower-ranking nobles could only have stone-paved roads built elsewhere, in order to highlight the prestige of higher-ranking nobles.

Although this action does not violate the law, it often results in orders to rebuild the road, so no lord would disobey it.

Lister certainly didn't care about the rules, and he did many things that were contrary to the "rites," such as making orcs free citizens.

The baron does not have that authority.

So besides the mysterious power, there are some things that must be kept from someone for the time being.

"Mr. Aizen."

"Please make sure Carol can't see the orc's features."

It's very simple; Aizen received the information through the badge.

When Lister and his party arrived in the town, Cortini, Morag, and a group of maids and guards were already waiting at the entrance.

Meanwhile, a large number of human and orc residents gathered here to welcome the Lord of Red Maple Territory.

Liszt was deeply moved to see the enthusiasm of his people, whose eyes were full of concern and respect.

Although Red Maple Town is much smaller than White Moon City, it is the place where he can live comfortably.

"Um... sir..."

Chris stammered, trying to say that the orcs here were wearing the clothes of free people, but was immediately glared at and stopped.

"Chris, the first task I'm giving you after we return to the territory is to get to know Red Maple Town and participate in the townspeople's production activities. What do you think?"

"Guaranteed to complete the mission!"

Chris gave a knightly salute on horseback, then he suddenly realized something.

The Temple's Bible states that orcs are born with sin, so they must undergo trials to cleanse themselves and be reborn.

What would Carol, as a priest, think when she sees so many orcs?

When Chris looked at her, she was excitedly clasping her hands together and exclaiming.

"To be welcomed so warmly by the people, Lord Lister must be a remarkable lord!"

Ok?

Chris asked instinctively.

"Pastor Carol, do you have no objection to orcs?"

"Hmm?" Carol asked, puzzled. "Lord Chris, why would I have a problem with these honest and simple people?"

?

Don't you clergy all hate other races? You even say that other races and orcs with other race blood are barbaric, ignorant creatures that need to be managed.

The idea of ​​human supremacy originated from the Temple and spread throughout the United States via the Church and chapels, didn't it?

Lister really wanted to tell Chris.

Carol's keyword has been blocked. You're not on the same wavelength right now, so let's not talk about sensitive topics.

Lister then stopped Chris and introduced him to Morag.

Chris may be a bit too straightforward, but he's perfectly capable of handling things as a deputy.

Lister also assigned the task of building the church for Carol to Morag, and secretly told him the requirements.

Morag understood Lister's thoughts and assured him that he would handle everything well.

After a brief chat, Lister led his men back to his Red Maple Castle.

He couldn't wait to rest for a day or two before reviewing recent events, hoping to have some relaxing time to think after Madara and Aizen returned to their own world.

How wonderful it would be if there were no pressure from Madara Aizen, only the warm, rounded embraces of the maids!

However, as soon as Lister returned, he saw Aizen smiling and waiting for them at the door.

then……

"Hmph, Aizen, have you finished your sneaky deeds?"

Madara Uchiha retorted dismissively.

He disapproved of Aizen's behavior, especially his secret collection of experimental materials, which he found particularly distasteful.

It reminded him of someone he disliked.

Aizen merely raised his glasses slightly with his middle finger, the shadow obscuring his pupils.

"Then, Madara, I have a question to ask as well."

"Has your sorrowful fantasy of relying on illusion come to an end?"

"The dragon lies dormant in the shadows for the day it will roar; the monkey's attempt to scoop the moon out of the lake is nothing but a mirage."

"However, it's not your fault."

"All living things in this world live only by mistaking facts that are advantageous to themselves for reality."

"Because only in this way can they survive."

"For the majority of the world's weak, the facts that are unfavorable to them are often the truth."

"Ban, you are arrogant and think you are strong, but you can't see the truth that the world only exists in facts."

Instead, they crave to replace unshakeable facts with illusory realities.

"What the strong do is define what the world should be like, not put an illusory shell on the outside of the world."

you!

Madara subconsciously revealed his three-tomoe Sharingan.

How dare you, a mere mortal, presume to comment on my ideals!

A massive surge of chakra shot into the sky, while another wave of spiritual pressure spread outwards, making it feel as if one were in the midst of an earthquake.

If the system hadn't been shielding the two from the impact of their aura on others and the surrounding environment, Red Maple Castle would probably have already been shaken.

Good luck! ! !

Lister instinctively pressed his hand to his wildly pounding heart.

Madara, why did you have to provoke Aizen of all people?!

Don't you understand who has the better speaking skills between you two?

Aizen is an extremely skilled sophist!

Can't you two just let me relax a bit?

Why do we have to start fighting the moment we meet?

Liszt covered his face with his hands, on the verge of tears.

How can he stop them? It would be great if they had a punching bag to vent their frustrations.

Suddenly, their auras vanished simultaneously, and a spatial portal appeared in the courtyard.

Aizen, Madara, Lister, and everyone else present all looked toward the portal.

Who came this time?

The portal disappeared, and a beautiful woman dressed in a black kimono appeared in everyone's sight.

She had beautiful hair and eerie, blood-red vertical pupils.

Lister's expression became incredibly strange.

How did this cowardly guy get recruited by the system?

"Where is this place?"

Kibutsuji Muzan was wondering how she ended up in an unfamiliar place when her pupils dilated the next second.

Sunlight?! Why can she stand in the sunlight without feeling scorched?

In her anxiety, she saw Lister and the others, and instinctively looked at them with disdain.

Who are you? Where is this place?

"tell me!"

His tone was casual and rude, revealing his high arrogance.

Huh?

Madara stepped forward and looked at Muzan with the same gaze.

This action immediately ignited Muzan's rage.

"Human! Who gave you permission to look me in the eye with such disrespect!"

The next second, she was about to attack Madara, but her body did not change according to her thoughts.

[Muzan Kibutsuji has challenged Madara Uchiha to a duel. Administrator Lister, please decide whether to open the Duel Space.]

Lister quickly confirmed it.

Open!

Then, three seconds later...

Madara, who had become younger within the dueling space, gripped Muzan's neck tightly and said disdainfully.

"Too weak! You're not even qualified to dance in front of me!"

Muzan stared in horror at the person in front of him before being crushed into pieces.
