Zongman, Rebirth of the Heaven-Defying Kirito

But can things really turn out as he wishes?

The answer is: No!

Just as the mechanical arm was about to strike Kirito, Kirito suddenly leaped up, drawing his black and white swords simultaneously.

As a BOSS-level weapon, the Explainer can absolutely and easily deal with the mechanical arms of this mass-produced mech!

Beluki watched helplessly as the flashing blades converged before him.

First, the robotic arm was removed, then the lower half of the mech, and finally, Knightmare's cockpit door was forcibly 'torn' off.

It wasn't until Berlusconi saw the man in person, not through a screen, that a sword pierced his chest.

A mouthful of blood spilled from the corner of Beluk's mouth as he struggled to speak: "You... are you really human?"

Kirito drew the Explainer and flicked the blood off the sword: "A genuine human."

Berlusconi scoffed, "Don't... you're lying."

The remaining soldiers and prisoners were terrified. They threw down their weapons and ran frantically toward the upper levels.

After all, the weapons they had were practically useless!

Karen and Saki stood there, staring at the mess before them, and it took them a while to recover.

The image of Kirito dismantling the mecha with his bare hands was still replaying in their minds.

It's just outrageous!

"You're kidding me..." Karen even pinched herself, but felt pain.

Not a dream.

It wasn't until only the three of them were left that Karen finally snapped out of her shock.

She pointed at Kirito, who was approaching, and said in disbelief, "Who exactly are you?!"

Kirito sheathed his twin swords on his back, as if the thrilling battle he had just fought was nothing more than a daily occurrence for him.

"What, didn't CC tell you?" He raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised.

Karen shook her head vigorously: "No! If I had known I would have such amazing help from you, I should have asked you for help right from the start!"

Seeing that Kallen was indeed unaware, Kirito didn't want to explain his origins any further.

He changed the subject, saying, "You should ask them that yourselves. Also, didn't you say CC is in a dangerous situation right now?"

Sakiyoko quickly reminded them, "Now that the enemy has been defeated, we'd better hurry back to Lord C.C."

Karen then slapped her forehead, a look of annoyance on her face.

The battle was so intense that she completely forgot the most important thing!

So, led by the two, with Kirito following behind, the three of them quickly headed towards the lowest level of the prison.

But as soon as Karen entered the temple, she saw C.C. kneeling in front of the stone tablet.

Her long green hair fell loose, and her shoulders trembled slightly, as if she had suffered a great blow.

"CC!" Kallen rushed to the other person's side, squatted down, and asked, "What happened? Where's Lelouch? Didn't he come back with you?"

Looking at Lloyd standing to the side, Lloyd shook his head helplessly: "I don't know the specifics either. Lord CC has been like this ever since he came back from C's world."

Sakiyoko said thoughtfully, "It seems the problem lies in the world of C."

Just as everyone was at a loss, a familiar voice suddenly came from the direction of the square monument: "This scene reminds me of when we first met, but back then, it was me who felt powerless..."

Hearing the sound, everyone looked over and saw countless particles slowly gathering in the air in front of the stone tablet, gradually forming a familiar figure.

His upright posture, and those eyes that were once as sharp as an eagle's.

It's Lelouch!

He slowly walked up to CC and extended his hand: "Although there are many things I want to say to you, now... I'm back."

CC slowly raised her head, revealing a relieved smile, her voice slightly choked: "Welcome back, Lelouch."

Karen, Saki, and Lloyd stood aside, watching the scene unfold before them, their hearts filled with the same emotions.

Then Lelouch turned around and looked at everyone.

When he saw Karen, a faint smile appeared on his lips: "So Karen is here too. Thank you for your help this time."

Karen's cheeks flushed instantly. She quickly turned her head away and said in a haughty tone, "I only woke you up because I had no other choice!"

Lelouch smiled and said nothing more.

His gaze passed over Sakiyoko and Lloyd in turn, finally settling on Kirito, who was standing at the very back.

Kirito chanted directly: "Rejoice! Now is the moment when Lelouch, the rebellious emperor who destroys the past and creates the future, is reborn!"

He was instantly the center of attention, completely baffled by what this guy was saying.

Lelouch, speechless, asked, "What's wrong with this guy?"

CC followed Lelouch's gaze, and when she saw Kirito, she instantly understood the situation: "I see, Kallen still asked someone for help."

Kirito waved his hand: "It was nothing."

Karen rolled her eyes at him. Disassembling a mecha with her bare hands was considered a piece of cake?!

Lelouch's doubts deepened: "C.C., you know him?"

“He’s someone I met on my travels.” CC nodded, paused, and then added, “However, he said before that he was an acquaintance of yours.”

Lelouch frowned. "No, this is also the first time I've met him."

Then, his eyes instantly sharpened.

A person who claimed to be an acquaintance but whom they had never met before suddenly appeared here and even helped Karen and the others.

It's clear that the other party likely has ulterior motives.

Thinking of this, Lelouch closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, the red Geass symbol was clearly reflected in them.

But then, CC suddenly reached out and blocked his view.

CC said softly, "At least he's not an enemy, I can guarantee that."

Looking into C.C.'s earnest eyes, Lelouch finally closed his eyes and said, "I understand."

This scene was clearly witnessed by Kallen, Sakiko, and Lloyd.

Everyone was extremely surprised.

If it were the previous autocratic emperor, he would definitely have tried to eliminate such an uncontrollable factor.

But now...

Kallen couldn't help but ask, "Lelouch,...have you changed in some way?"

Lelouch glanced at Kallen: "It's just your imagination."

Only Sakiyoko, upon hearing Lelouch's words, let a barely perceptible smile appear on her lips.

She had been by Lelouch's side the longest and understood his personality best.

The Lelouch of today is less stubborn and cold than before, and more gentle and trusting. Perhaps this is the change in Lelouch.

Lelouch stopped dwelling on Kirito's identity and instead said in a serious tone, "More important than that is figuring out what's going on outside."

Karen immediately chimed in, "We just repelled a mech squad on the upper level, so it seems safe here for the time being."

"Just the three of you?" Lelouch raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised.

He knew Kallen and Sakiko's strength, but the opponent had Knightmare, so it would be difficult for the three of them to win.

Kallen pointed at Kirito: "Actually, it was thanks to this guy that we were able to take Knightmare apart in the end. He single-handedly used two swords to tear Knightmare to pieces."

Lelouch's eyes widened instantly, somewhat bewildered.

It's hard to imagine that the word 'demolition' could be associated with Knightmare.

“Yes, there’s no mistake!” Kallen nodded vigorously, her tone certain. “Saki and I both saw it with our own eyes! If we’re only talking about individual ability, even ZERO… I mean Suzaku Kururugi, is probably no match for him!”

"what?!"

Upon hearing this, not only Lelouch, but also C.C. and Lloyd gasped in shock.

Suzaku Kururugi was Lelouch's handpicked 'Original Zero Knight of the Round Table,' possessing formidable strength; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say he was the strongest warrior in the world.

Lelouch knew this better than anyone.

Kokallen actually said that the opponent's single-target ability is stronger than Suzaku Kururugi?

If that's true...

Lelouch's gaze towards Kirito instantly changed.

A smile suddenly appeared on his lips: "In that case, it might come in very useful..."
