I simultaneously traverse countless worlds

The problem is that Mima Amatori's death made all of that a pipe dream.

Even though he didn't reveal his status as a Kabaneri, the death of Mima Amaterasu deprived the Karifu of their leader and the opportunity to establish themselves.

If Amaterasu Mima were present, she would naturally be able to integrate [Kongo Station] using her natural status and the martial prowess of the hunting party. Even if the chance of ascending to the position of Shogun was not great, it would be a completely different situation from the current situation where there was no chance at all.

However, when Li Mo decided to kill Amatori Mima and the Shogun, making himself the one who stalked the cicada, the various actions that followed were already predetermined!

"Everyone, Lord Amatori Mima is dead. We have no way out now!"

While the group of hunters were bewildered and at a loss, a mid-ranking officer from the group stepped forward. Without hesitation, he fired a shot into the ceiling with his steam-powered pistol, drawing everyone's attention. With a cold expression, he shouted, "If we don't want to be captured and beheaded by the Shogunate, we have to break out of Kongo Station immediately, or we'll all die..."

This mid-level officer of the Hunting Army spoke bluntly, but everyone in the Hunting Army knew it was true. Without their leader, Mima Tentori, who was also the former shogun, they wouldn't have been able to establish themselves in Kongo Station. In fact, they would have been seen as rebels who defied their superiors.

The reason is simple: the daimyo and samurai of Kongo-i and other fortresses might accept a bloody rise to power by the former shogun's heir, but they would never accept a group of samurai taking over Kongo-i and establishing themselves. Moreover, the Kari-i group had just killed a large number of the shogun's family samurai, and even the shogun himself died in the castle tower. Such a major event always needs a culprit to take the blame, and the Kari-i group was the perfect scapegoat.

Although Amatori Mima was the leader of the Karakai-shu, now that he has died here, it is foreseeable that the Kongo-i Station will try to downplay the incident and obscure why the former shogun's successor, who was removed from the list, would storm the Kongo-i Station. However, they will definitely not let the Karakai-shu go.

Clearly, while the warriors of the Kara clan didn't understand the intricacies of the situation, they were well aware of the consequences of killing a daimyo or even a high-ranking samurai, let alone openly killing the shogun, who was ostensibly the highest-ranking samurai in Japan.

"Our revenge is complete! It's time for us to fight our way out!"

"Yes! Let's kidnap those shogunate elders and key retainers, and break out of [Kongo Station]!"

"Let's hurry..."

In less than a few breaths, several senior officers and a dozen mid-level officers of the Hunting Force reached a consensus. Even those who had followed Amaterasu Mima ten years ago now had to consider their own lives.

To put it simply, the entire elite force of the Hunting Army had gone out of their way to charge into [Kongo-i] and attack the castle tower alongside Amatori Mima, which already showed great courage. If Amatori Mima were still alive, the Hunting Army, having lost half of their forces, would have fought on with all their might. But since Amatori Mima had died in front of them, the Hunting Army, having lost their objective, had to consider how to protect themselves and leave [Kongo-i] alive.

As is foreseeable, the garrison at Kongo Station has now realized what's happening. The remaining hundred or so warriors of the Hunting Army are likely to be disregarding the vast resources and defensive weapons the Shogun has invested in Kongo Station, and incidentally, the tens of thousands of garrison soldiers who have already realized what's going on will be dead.

Therefore, the Kara clan, led by several leaders, quickly launched a surprise attack on several senior retainers of the shogunate surrounding the castle tower, intending to use these shogunate elders and senior retainers as bargaining chips to exchange for their safe departure from Kongo Station.

Thanks to the commotion caused by the previous raid on the castle tower by the Karabu, the shogunate's retainers and senior officials living in the surrounding residences have all come to their senses. Some have even secretly sent servants and confidants to gather information, and naturally they have seen the Karabu attacking the castle tower. Some have even sensed the opportunity and have begun to contact the commanders they know well. It is inevitable that the samurai in their homes will be on guard.

The problem is that the Karakai, who have just captured the castle tower, are far more powerful than the samurai who stay in the castle. Moreover, the samurai are mostly equipped with katana or a few steam guns, and their weaponry is far inferior to that of the Karakai.

It's understandable, really. The Kongo Station, where the Shogun was stationed, was very safe. It was normal for the samurai under the command of the chief retainers and senior retainers to carry swords. However, there must have been strict restrictions on equipping them with steam guns. Otherwise, wouldn't the Shogun worry that those well-equipped samurai from various domains might launch a big attack while he was sleeping that night?

In this way, even though the chief retainers and senior officials of the shogunate were on guard, they were caught completely off guard by the well-equipped and bloodthirsty Karabu. In the chaotic battle, several chief retainers and senior officials were killed. If anyone was familiar with the situation at Kongo Station, they would know that those unlucky ones who were killed by mortar fire and bullets were actually some of the most prestigious and powerful figures in Kongo Station.

In a sense, if these elders and senior retainers had joined forces, they might have been able to have a proper talk with the current shogun. However, they died a miserable death from stray bullets, and the Karifu clan, who did not know them, were completely unaware of their existence.

For the time being, no one has noticed that all the senior retainers and important ministers of the shogunate have died due to "accidents." The Karakai are busy attacking one mansion after another and looking for a shield. The samurai of each family are also trying their best to resist, while the garrison troops around the castle tower are on their way. It seems that the interception personnel arranged by Amaterasu Mima are still trying to intercept the soldiers' attacks. It is foreseeable that they will not be able to hold out for long, after all, the difference in numbers and weapons is too great.

To be honest, the entire fighting force of the Hunting Army only numbered around two hundred. Amatori Mima left twenty men to defend his own Junjo, while the rest of the warriors charged into Kongo-i with him. However, the entire armed force of Kongo-i was close to twenty thousand men. Even the inner city only had about five thousand men, and the military camps near the castle tower alone numbered nearly a thousand.

When the hunters captured the castle tower and eliminated the resistance forces in several residences, the surrounding guards rushed over. At this time, Li Mo also knew that the time was ripe and began to prepare to reap the fruits of victory!

"Fire! Annihilate these enemies who murdered the Shogun and several key retainers!!!"

Inside the residence of the chief retainer of the Yoshikagawa family, Li Mogang had just finished discussing with the elderly retainer of this branch of the Yoshikagawa family who served as a chief retainer in the shogunate. He then led his men and directly issued the order to eliminate the Kari-kai, and began the ruthless extermination of the Kari-kai.

Faced with the encirclement and attack led by Li Mo, the Hunting Force suffered a crushing defeat. With a series of urban warfare tactics, including snipers occupying high ground and assault troops using heavy weapons, the scattered Hunting Force paid a heavy price. When they tried to break out, they found themselves surrounded by the inner city guard of [Jingang Post Station] and could only be helplessly slaughtered one by one by their opponents.

In less than half an hour, the remaining hundred or so members of the Hunting Clan were all killed. Li Mo and the Shifangchuan family elder stepped forward together to clean up the battlefield left behind by Tennori Mima and the Hunting Clan, and also temporarily took control of [Kongo Station]!

Chapter 39 Taking Control of the Vajra Station (New book, please add to your collection!)

With the deaths of the current Shogun, former Shogun's successor Amaterasu Mima, and several other important Shogunate officials, the high-ranking officials of [Kongo Station] were in complete chaos. It was only through the intervention of his planted pawns and the elders of the Yomogawa family that Li Mo managed to control the situation.

If it were an ordinary daimyo, at this point they would be considering which general's son to support to take the throne, as that would be in their best interest. They wouldn't have the right or the strength to become an uncrowned emperor.

Unfortunately, Li Mo wanted more. The Kongo Station, the entire Japan, and even the entire Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress world were all targets that Li Mo wanted to unify. He naturally couldn't just be a daimyo living in one place. To rightfully take control of the Kongo Station, he needed a very rare and suitable opportunity.

So, over the next three days, a succession struggle erupted among the male sons of the current generals within the [Jin Gang Yi] headquarters. The sons of the current generals fought each other, all with their sights set on the vacant general's throne.

After all, when the shogun who had already passed away was in power, he would not allow anyone to challenge his authority and position. The reason why Amaterasu Mima was sent out as a scapegoat was not only because ordinary people could not bear the blame for the defeat of hundreds of thousands of troops, but also because Amaterasu Mima was the eldest son of the legitimate wife. In a few years, he would be of age to come of age and would be a potential successor to the shogun.

It was precisely because of this that Amatori Mima became the unfortunate scapegoat for the defeat. He survived by chance, turned evil, and became the villainous boss. Meanwhile, the Shogun comfortably served as Shogun for another ten years. Even the Kabane failed to penetrate the Kongo Station, and no one could threaten his power and position, which speaks volumes.

Even the sons of the Shogun, in the eyes of those power-hungry creatures who had already passed away, could not obtain any real power. At most, they were well-off and had the title of descendants of the Shogun. Wanting the military power or real power of the Kongo-i-Tsuki was a pipe dream. Even with the support of their maternal clans, they could only bow their heads in front of the Shogun and act as dutiful children.

Now that the Shogun has passed away, and Amaterasu Mima, who was likely to inherit the throne by force and in name, has also died, along with several important retainers of the Shogunate, the position of the next Shogun is now vacant. Several sons of the current Shogun have developed the desire to take over, or people around the young Shogun's son have developed the idea of ​​helping him succeed the new Shogun, and have been secretly instigated by someone to take action directly.

In just three short days, the [Kongo Station] witnessed a series of power struggles, including poisoning, murder, and attempts to win over and divide the enemy. The sons of three shoguns who were about to come of age met their demise, while the remaining two sons were too young and lost their chance to inherit the throne.

Under these circumstances, the atmosphere at [Kongo Station] was extremely delicate. Li Mo and the elders of the Shifugawa clan did not speak out in support of anyone, and they continued to win over the powerful figures and garrison commanders of [Kongo Station]. Several other senior officials of the shogunate were unable to intervene due to their deaths. Some factions wanted to take advantage of the success of the rise to power, while others cautiously observed the situation. Naturally, they could not form a united force to face the combined forces of Li Mo and the elders of the Shifugawa clan.

However, before the ordinary people of [Jingang Post Station] could continue watching the spectacle, reinforcements from [Xianjin Post Station] had already arrived. A total of 1,200 new soldiers from [Xianjin Post Station] arrived at [Jingang Post Station], directly providing Li Mo with the most important support force.

Previously, Li Mo brought only a little over a hundred guards to [Jin Gang Yi]. Even with the assistance of the elders of the Sifangchuan family and the cooperation of the spies from the [Shadow Seeds], he couldn't completely control [Jin Gang Yi], which had a population of over 200,000. He tried to muddy the waters of [Jin Gang Yi] as much as possible, buying himself the most precious time to transfer most of the troops from [Xian Jin Yi].

With the arrival of over a thousand new troops, Li Mo immediately adjusted his tactics and integrated the various forces within [Jin Gang Yi]. The most important forces, such as the army and the steam factory, were quickly brought under control. While a person capable of wielding a certain degree of supernatural power might not be able to directly confront [Jin Gang Yi] with its tens of thousands of soldiers, it didn't mean he couldn't deal with its high-ranking figures. While fusing with the improved version of [Shadow Seed] would inevitably lead to a loss of self, Li Mo didn't mind using it at crucial moments. Moreover, he wasn't afraid to use forceful methods to secretly eliminate certain die-hards!

With Li Mo's actions, the situation at [Kongo Post Station] returned to calm in just a few days. The price paid was the death of the shogun who had already been killed and many important officials. More than half of the officials at [Kongo Post Station] were replaced or dismissed, and about a quarter of the various supplies stored at [Kongo Post Station] were spent.

Needless to say, the replacement of those high-ranking officials and ministers was a given. When Li Mo took on the position of acting general, he already had the intention of replacing the officials of [King Kong Post] with his own people. The large-scale distribution of various supplies was used to buy off the army and civilians. Knowing that what the world of Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress needed was force and the people, Li Mo simply bought off the hearts of the army and the people, and in return, temporarily took control of the situation in [King Kong Post].

If it weren't for the Kabane's interference, coupled with the cover-up caused by the Shogun and the events involving Mima Amaterasu at Kongo Station, it would have been extremely difficult for Li Mo to gain control of Kongo Station. Many daimyo might have marched on Kyoto under the banner of "punishing the rebels."

However, the Shogun and his son, Amaterasu Mima, ended up with a harmonious relationship. In addition, the various daimyo, whose power had greatly diminished due to the rampage of the Kabane and who were unable to intervene, along with the local power factions in Kongo-i, which had been secretly weakened by Li Mo, were gradually brought together by Li Mo. When he ruthlessly won over the hearts of the army and the people, and took the opportunity to lead his army out to clear out the Kabane around Kongo-i, he immediately established his prestige.

No matter how you look at it, Japan is someone who admires the strong and despises the weak. Moreover, when Li Mo demonstrated his strength under the threat of numerous Kabane, the soldiers and civilians of [King Kong Station] immediately became his supporters. Even the remaining research forces of [Hunter's Army] were taken in. In addition, [Xianjin Station], which was already in his possession, gave him enough trump cards to deal with what was to come.

When Li Mo truly took control of [Jin Gang Yi] and [Xian Jin Yi], and began preparing for his next step of wiping out the Kabane and taking control of the entire Japan, he was resting with Yomokawa Ayame, Mie Huo, and Wuming when he once again arrived at the White Mist Space...

Chapter 40 Three New Li Mos! (New book, please add to your favorites and support!)

"Holy crap, I didn't expect Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress to be the first to clear it!"

When the five Li Mos from the White Mist Space reunited, the Li Mo from the Naruto world, who had clearly changed a lot, grasped his counterpart from the Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress world. He was immediately stunned by his Kabaneri counterpart's decisive actions and couldn't help but speak.

After all, in the eyes of the few Li Mos who were familiar with the original Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress anime, he had already dealt with the villainous boss, Amatori Mima, and the Shogun in the Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress world. He had also completely taken over the forces such as [Kenkin Station], [Kongo Station], and [Karifushu]. He was surrounded by three beautiful women, Yomogawa Ayame, Mumei, and Mieka. He could be described as a model of a winner in life.

In a sense, Li Mo in the world of Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress already has too many advantages. He can gradually reclaim lost territory in Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress and even include East Asia and Southeast Asia in his future goals!

"Ahem, I guess I haven't finished the game yet?"

Seeing the other four Li Mo looking at him with envy and resentment, Li Mo from Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress coughed twice. While absorbing the power he had gained from the other Li Mo, he said seriously, "At the very least, we haven't even cleared out the Kabane on Neon Island. There are tens of millions of Kabane there, not even counting the stolen species and black smoke..."

Li Mo from Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress was telling the truth. While he had indeed taken control of Kongo Station and Kenjin Station, killed the villainous boss from the original story, and taken over his forces, he was still far too weak compared to his mortal enemies, the Kabane. Did Japan currently have a million survivors? Or perhaps two million?

However, based on a rough estimate from the Edo period in Japan, the entire country had a population of over 30 million, or even close to 40 million. In other words, there were over 30 million Kabane on the island of Japan. It would probably take ten years to clear out all of them, and we would also have to consider the restoration of people's livelihoods and other matters during that time. It can be said that Li Mo of the Iron Fortress still has a lot to do!

"Come on! We don't even know that you've already taken control and eliminated all the other unstable factors. You've already cleared the level!"

In response to Li Mo's words from the Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress world, Li Mo from the late Qing Dynasty film and television drama world rolled his eyes and said...

Compared to Li Mo from the Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress world, who has barely managed to raise an army over the past few months and still has to think about how to train the army and make related preparations every day, how can he compare to himself in the Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress world, who can get things done in one step!

"Indeed, I've just started a conglomerate in America and arrived in Japan to establish it as my main development base. Compared to the situation in the Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress world, the gap is simply too large..."

Similarly, Li Mo from the Black Lagoon world nodded in agreement. He had made some moves in America over the past few months, but all that remained in America was the name of a head office and some acquired assets. The real focus of development was in Japan, where he currently only had a little over a hundred employees and personnel, which was incomparable to the hundreds of thousands of employees in the Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress world.

Hmm, why don't you think he just stay in America and develop his influence?

Haha, do you really think America is some kind of paradise for realizing dreams? America, which has become a world hegemon, has already divided up the pie among various internal forces. Even if there is a new pie, it will be divided up by various forces. For an Asian from outside the country to want to take control of his own territory, he probably thinks that the giants of Wall Street and America are all great benefactors. He hasn't even had a taste of America's harsh reality yet.

In any case, Li Mo of Black Lagoon would not make this mistake. He decisively left an empty headquarters and some necessary connections in America, and then set his sights on Japan, the region he chose as the most suitable for his headquarters. It had advantages in population and technology, and was also an invisible colony of America, making it a very suitable territory!

"Tch! You two still have power and are developing, but I've already gone through three historical revisions. Heaven knows how unreliable those historical records were!"

Hearing the two Li Mos's exclamations, the Li Mo from the Jackie Chan Adventures world couldn't help but speak up, looking down on his two versions of himself for showing off, and then said helplessly.

Well, Li Mo from the Jackie Chan Adventures world felt he was the most miserable. Not to mention his unbridled development like in the Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress world, he wasn't even as good as his two cautiously developing but still somewhat powerful selves. He returned to the Jackie Chan Adventures world to deal with the problems caused by the Shadow General, but he kept sensing changes in time and space, so he naturally understood what he had encountered!

"Tsk tsk, things are alright on my end. At least there haven't been any sudden changes in history or time. It's just that the Third Kazekage has been missing for a while now, the Sand Village has declared war on the Leaf Village, and the Third Shinobi World War has begun..."

Seeing his four selves discussing amongst themselves, Li Mo from the Naruto world, who had just merged the memories of the Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress world and the other three worlds, along with his newly acquired power, was somewhat speechless. Looking at his four selves, he explained his situation, casually pointing to the Mist Ninja headband on his arm, and coldly stated his plan to betray the village. However, he suddenly looked in a certain direction from the white mist space, his tone tinged with surprise: "I'm already preparing to escape the Mist Ninja Village, taking advantage of this good opportunity to avoid becoming cannon fodder… Uh? A newcomer?!"

Along with Li Mo's voice from the Naruto world, the other four Li Mos turned their heads at the same time, looking towards the other side of the white mist space. Then they saw three figures walk out of the white mist space, looking at the five different Li Mos with some confusion.

The three people were naturally all Li Mo. One looked like a teenager wearing a baseball cap, another looked like a young man in his early twenties with a pig's tail and a bitter expression on his face. They were all wearing old, patched clothes. The last one was wearing a set of Western-style leather armor and a sword, looked like a young man in his early twenties, and had a surprised expression on his face.

The next instant, the five Li Mo who had already arrived in the white mist space rushed directly towards the three newcomers, including the one dressed in Western-style adventurer attire. In a few moments, the five Li Mo put their arms around the shoulders and shared their power and memories!

"Wow! I finally have a cheat code!"

"Tsk tsk, so my cheat code only just appeared now. All those years of hard swordsmanship training have been for nothing!"

Compared to the five experienced Li Mos who had already been to the White Mist Space, the three newcomers were stunned for a while as they closed their eyes to digest the power and memories of the three newcomers. After digesting the memories from the others, they couldn't help but sigh.

Originally, the three new Li Mos entered the white mist space with an instinctive sense of caution. In their own worlds, they thought they were all independent transmigrators and had made some rash moves, such as clamoring to find cheat codes or attribute panels. However, one of them had even spent more than 20 years in another world without any use and had to learn extraordinary powers on his own. But when they didn't expect that their cheat codes would be shared with other versions of themselves in all the worlds, the three of them didn't know what to say.

Of course, the three Li Mos were still very excited. Even the one who was the most successful among them was only a locally renowned expert in the world he had transmigrated to. To say he was famous was a very special thing. If he could obtain the power of multiple versions of himself from other worlds like he did now, he could definitely become a true powerhouse.

Compared to the exclamations and excitement of the three Li Mos, the five Li Mos who had gathered earlier, having not done so for the first time, quickly absorbed the memories and power of the three newcomers. The Li Mo from the Naruto world then looked at the three newcomers and said in a rather strange tone:

"I never expected it to be a combination of the Pokémon universe, the movie 'The Deer and the Cauldron,' and that unspeakable fan service anime 'Another World XX Girl Review Guide'..."

Chapter 41 Each with Their Own Reflections (New book, please add to your favorites and support!)

The three newcomers are from different worlds: one is from the Pokémon universe, one is from the movie version of The Deer and the Cauldron, and the other is from the world of "Another World XX Girl Review Guide," which Li Mo had watched before his transmigration. It was supposed to be a mainstream anime, but it was actually no different from a fan service anime, and it was later directly censored.

As for the three newcomers, their situations are either slightly better or average. The best one is Li Mo from the world of the fan-service anime "Isekai XX Musume Review Guide." In reality, he's at most considered a fairly strong adventurer, but the others are not worth mentioning.

In the Pokémon universe, Li Mo was just an average trainer. He never won any regional tournaments or became one of the Elite Four. He had been in the world for about five or six years and barely managed to become an average trainer from Bug Catcher. He worked hard to learn about Pokémon and train his three Pokémon. If it weren't for the appearance of a cheat code, he expected that he would have remained an average trainer for the rest of his life.

As for Li Mo in the movie "The Deer and the Cauldron", he was the most tragic. He time-traveled half a year ago. If he hadn't knocked out an unlucky guy in time and cut off his braid to wear, he would probably have become a victim of the knife. Now he is staying in the Green Wood Hall of the Heaven and Earth Society to make a living!

"By the way, aren't Pokémon supposed to be able to start with their three main Pokémon by the age of ten?"

After Li Mo calmed down, the Li Mo from the Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress world looked at his Pokémon world self with some questions. He had just been appreciating his experience in the Magical Appraisal Guide world, and he was a little puzzled as to why his other self was still a random trainer.

"Hehe, only families with enough money to pay the fees can automatically become Pokémon Trainers at the age of ten and embark on a journey."

"Otherwise, why do you think Ash and his friends are entitled to receive the starter Pokémon as their first Pokémon?"

"And why should they get free medical care and accommodation at the Pokémon Center?"

"Leaving aside Pallet Town, if children in other places could receive one of the three starter Pokémon for free as their first Pokémon, why are there still talk of Bug Catcher and Kid in Shorts? And why are most trainers at most just average trainers?"

In response to the questions from the Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress world, Li Mo from the Pokémon world sneered and revealed some inside information about the Pokémon world:

"The reason is simple: those things were already paid for long ago!"

"If Red, Blue, and Ash got their starter Pokémon and Trainer Pokédex, it's because their families paid enough money and their identities were clean. Ordinary people don't even have the qualifications to receive starter Pokémon."
