Inside the grand Celestial Palace hall.
Tian Chen immediately sensed the terrifying scale of the Marine Headquarters fleet encircling Sabaody.
But he didn't care in the slightest. He had no intention of going out to tangle with them.
After all, the barrier was truly indestructible. The Marines could laugh, go numb, question their entire existence—they'd eventually pack up and go home.
Suddenly, Tian Chen felt a little bored with nothing to do. He opened his personal status panel.
Name: Tian Chen Age: 21 Height: 210 cm ...
He noticed he still had one unused chance to summon a legendary talent from the myriad worlds.
"I wonder… who will I pull this time?" "System, let me tell you straight—I'd better get a girl!!!" "Otherwise, you come keep me company yourself!"
In Tian Chen's mind, the dream candidates were already lined up. Albedo, Tokisaki Kurumi, Raiden Shogun, Tu Shan YaYa, Medusa… Any one of them would become a permanent fixture in his harem—someone he could "flip the card" for every night, good for years of fun.
Of course, he also had softer picks in reserve. Kaguya Shinomiya, Yukino, any of the Go-kas… Girls in stockings? Absolutely irresistible.
"I'll take a bath and burn incense first—gotta do this right."
Tian Chen spent a full half hour bathing solemnly, then another half hour burning incense with utmost seriousness.
"Phew… finally ready!" "Suddenly… I'm a little nervous!"
"Ding! The system has detected the Host is beginning a random summon of a legendary talent from the myriad worlds.""Ding! Congratulations, Host! Summon successful. Please prepare to receive."
A brilliant light flashed across the grand hall.
Then, a tall, elegant female silhouette gradually materialized from feet to head.
Tian Chen's heart thumped wildly. His breathing quickened. And—shamelessly—his body reacted with an involuntary twitch.
Before him stood a female general. Majestic and valiant, with long, light-blue hair cascading to her waist. Her figure was the perfect hourglass—curves in all the right places, full of explosive allure. Long, powerful legs encased in white thigh-high boots that reached up to her snowy thighs, every inch radiating mysterious seduction.
"System, you're the GOAT!!!" "I actually pulled the sadistic queen!" "This is the strongest, most charismatic general from Akame ga Kill!—Esdeath!" "She's straight-up ceiling-tier!!!" "If not for plot armor nerfs and the anime weakening her… following the original manga power scaling, she'd be invincible even in the One Piece world!"
"But no—no way I'm wasting such a gorgeous beauty on the battlefield." "My beloved concubine… my beloved concubine must be pampered!"
...
While Tian Chen was lost in his fantasies, the summoned Esdeath had already dropped to one knee, looking up at him with perfect respect.
"This subordinate… Esdeath, pays respects to the Great Emperor!"
Thanks to the system's influence, Esdeath's loyalty to Tian Chen was 100%.
"Beloved concubine, rise quickly!"
Tian Chen's expression lifted with delight. He had already mentally designated Esdeath as his first wife— and was already planning an "in-depth exchange" tonight.
But Esdeath did not stand. Instead, her eyes flashed slightly as she asked respectfully:
"Great Emperor, this one's name is Esdeath—not 'beloved concubine'."
A playful glint appeared in Tian Chen's eyes.
"This Emperor knows your name is Esdeath. But from this moment forward—you are this Emperor's beloved concubine!" "Tonight, you will come and serve in my bedchamber!"
Tian Chen was burning with desire—how could he possibly hold back?
Don't talk to him about "youth not knowing the value of mountains and rivers, mistaking beauties for mere treasures." Pfft—get lost.
He had transmigrated! What laws? What morals? What fake "harem-lite" nonsense? This was a real harem—and it had to be a real harem!!!
Esdeath showed no anger. She remained respectful.
"If the Great Emperor desires to claim this one's body, then please—conquer me with force." "Of course, rest assured, Great Emperor—my counterattacks will never harm you in the slightest." "But if the Great Emperor cannot do it… please refrain from making such jokes with this one in the future."
Tian Chen's excitement grew even more. As expected from the ultimate sadist queen—cool, beautiful, and dangerous.
"Deal!"
"Then this Emperor shall make a small move." "Seal!"
Tian Chen immediately channeled the Supreme King's Power, enveloping Esdeath in a layer of sealing barrier.
"If you can break through this sealing power—" "This Emperor will grant you any one request." "If you cannot—" "Remember: you are this Emperor's beloved concubine." "Tonight—you must come serve in my bedchamber."
"Yes!"
Esdeath replied respectfully. But deep inside, a spark of delight flickered.
She hadn't expected the Emperor to be this powerful. With a casual gesture, he had bound her body so tightly, so oppressively— It felt… thrilling.
Full of anticipation, she began gathering power to break free.
She wanted to see exactly how strong her new lord truly was.
If he was stronger than her—then the law of the jungle applied perfectly. He would truly be worthy of becoming her man.
Otherwise… While her absolute loyalty to the Emperor prevented her from killing him, to defend her own principles—she would have no choice but to choose death over submission.
