Chapter 577

Su Han sneered, slightly flexing his wrist, where lightning arcs danced, "Before I came here, I killed Minister Aurest and destroyed the imperial palace. If not for General Bude shielding the young emperor with his own body, the young emperor would already be dead."

After a brief pause, Su Han continued, "But this is only temporary. The revolutionary army will soon rise in rebellion, and this decaying empire will surely fall."

Hei Tong's body stiffened, her gaze fixed stubbornly on Su Han, lips pressed tight.

She refused to believe Su Han's words.

On one hand, she could not believe the empire she had loyally served was about to collapse.

On the other, she could not believe Su Han possessed such terrifying power.

Ministers, General Bude—these... all were the empire's top officials or elite combatants, yet before Su Han, they were either dead or... defeated.

Before witnessing it with her own eyes, Hei Tong could not believe just how strong Su Han truly was.

Even though Su Han had previously demonstrated overwhelming combat power, in Hei Tong's eyes, he was merely among the world's absolute top tier—not enough to crush every single one of the world's strongest warriors.

Chi Tong fell silent for a long while, then suddenly turned her head, fixing her gaze on Su Han's face, and asked, "If you truly are the mastermind behind the revolutionary army, can you guarantee that after overthrowing this regime, the nation will flourish?"

"...... I never said I was the mastermind behind the revolutionary army!"

Su Han was speechless—he'd always thought he was the final leader of the revolution, but after a moment's thought, he still replied.

"But... if the country were to flourish."

Su Han raised an eyebrow and suddenly laughed.

His words were decisive, without the slightest hesitation or pause.

"Yes! If it's Mengqi Lage—there will be no problem."

"Even so, I still must act against you."

After a brief silence, Hei Tong's eyes regained their cold composure.

Her voice was icy.

Chi Tong fell silent for a moment, then gripped her Murasame tightly and stepped forward, standing between Su Han and Hei Tong.

Her stance made her intent clear.

If Hei Tong wished to attack Su Han, she would have to pass through Chi Tong first.

Emotionally and rationally, Chi Tong could not stand by and watch Hei Tong attack Su Han.

Emotionally, Hei Tong was her sister—even if she died, it must be by Chi Tong's hand.

Rationally, Su Han was their savior, and possibly the true leader of the revolutionary army.

She could not sit idle.

Just as the atmosphere between the sisters grew heavier, Su Han glanced at Hei Tong.

As his Kenbunshoku Haki deepened, Su Han sensed more—his lips curled into a faint smile.

"Little Chi Tong! I sense your sister doesn't truly misunderstand the empire's corruption and darkness."

Su Han paused slightly, then continued, "She's merely been thoroughly warped by the empire's brainwashing policies."

Chi Tong's face remained expressionless—she had already suspected as much.

"I have some understanding of personality restructuring..."

Su Han blinked slightly, his pupils turning crimson as the Mangekyō Sharingan spun slowly, "Would you like me to adjust your sister's personality?"

"...... Adjust personality?"

At those four words, Chi Tong thought of things like human experiments—immoral, abhorrent acts.

She immediately frowned.

"Don't worry—it won't harm your sister."

"It will restore her to true normalcy."

"...... If it's possible..."

Chi Tong hesitated, then finally nodded.

If it could be done, she did not wish to fight her own sister to the death.

"Personality adjustment? I don't think my mental state is abnormal."

Hei Tong snorted, instantly summoning the Eight Corpses and charging forward.

Though the Eight Corpses had been heavily damaged in the earlier battle against the Xenomorphs, they still retained some combat capability.

"Sleep for ten minutes. When you wake, everything will be different."

Su Han remained calm. His Mangekyō Sharingan spun violently—he merely glanced at Hei Tong, and her body stiffened, her eyes glazed over, then she collapsed to the ground, eyes closed, fast asleep.

Su Han rubbed his temples.

His eyes originated from the transmigrator Uchiha Tian and Uchiha Obito.

They were Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, immensely powerful.

Even without a specialized Mangekyō-based genjutsu, Su Han could still unleash terrifying illusions using the Mangekyō Sharingan.

After studying the Sealing Book, his ability grew even stronger.

Performing personality adjustment was naturally no challenge.

Chi Tong realized Hei Tong was truly unconscious—she immediately abandoned combat and rushed forward.

After checking Hei Tong's condition and confirming she was merely asleep, she exhaled in relief.

She carried Hei Tong back to Su Han's side.

Finally, Chi Tong knelt on one knee before Su Han and bowed her head.

"My lord! If Hei Tong truly can be restored, I am endlessly grateful... Your grace is worthy of a lifetime of repayment."

"When I return, I will petition to be reassigned to your side—as your bodyguard."

"I will guard you with my life!"
