Unlike the grand plans devised by those "collaborators" over decades or even centuries, Lin Yi had an extremely clear attitude towards how to deal with this world from the very beginning.

"The Chinese Federation, the Holy British Empire, EU".

These three powerful nations dominate the world, fighting and plundering each other. The various small organizations under their control can only barely survive—including the expeditionary force. If the expeditionary force wanted to fight against them on its own, it would take at least several decades of accumulation.

There are two ways to defeat the enemy, and people usually choose the first one: to become stronger, strong enough to defeat them. The expeditionary force originally chose the same approach.

However, Lin Yi preferred the second option: to weaken the enemy.

There are many ways to weaken someone, from economic devastation to political intrigue, but if Lin Yi had to say what works the fastest, he could only think of one.

Half a month later, following in the footsteps of the Chinese Federation and the Holy Britannian Empire, the EU also "lived up to expectations" and was subjected to a devastating attack. A nuclear bomb was detonated in the air above the EU meeting on how to deal with the chaotic situation of the Chinese Federation and the Holy Britannian Empire. Except for a few members of parliament who were unable to participate due to unforeseen circumstances, the entire EU decision-making body was almost wiped out.

This time, however, the expeditionary force reacted quite differently.

Almost immediately after the EU incident, the Northeast Asian occupiers within the Chinese Federation—the Expeditionary Force—declared independence and launched a surprise attack on Southeast Asia and Central Asia that very night. Caught off guard and with the help of the Sakura Stone reserves obtained from Kyushu Island, they quickly occupied these two leaderless regions.

Subsequently, considering the internal turmoil among the three major powers and the vast resources needed for the upcoming war, the expeditionary force did not blindly continue its encroachment on the territory of the Chinese Federation, but instead shifted its focus—

"Yesterday, the expeditionary force officially declared war on the Holy British Empire... It might be inappropriate to say that, they merely declared the legitimacy of Area 11."

[Area 11 has been an integral part of our country's territory since ancient times...児韭球邬叁八柒1』（三）〡...]

Looking at that righteous-sounding face on the TV news, spouting those platitudes, Lelouch, wearing a mask, inexplicably felt an urge to punch him in the face.

Like the three major powers, the Black Knights have also been having a tough time since the Holy British Emperor "disappeared" more than half a month ago.

Struggle requires conditions. A powerful opponent is certainly challenging, but it can also unite the weak to fight under a unified command. When the powerful opponent collapses, the people who were forced to unite because of their weakness will have different thoughts, such as why the commander is not themselves but an outsider. This is especially true when this "outsider" has not yet revealed his identity.

On the surface, the Black Knights have made great strides by taking advantage of the internal chaos of the Holy Britannian Empire. However, Lelouch is well aware that the internal conflicts are constantly intensifying and expanding, and there are only two ways to resolve them.

“A more powerful enemy, or…”

His gaze shifted to the chessboard laid out on the table: "An undeniable victory."

Soul Leap: Chapter 338 Lelouch the Rebellious (7)

The expeditionary force won without any doubt.

With its internal situation in complete chaos, the Holy British Empire had essentially recalled all the troops it could muster from the outside. Under these circumstances, only a few dozen Knightmare aircraft remained in Area 11, and they were all shot down before they could even withstand a single concentrated barrage of fire.

Subsequently, the expeditionary force set foot on this land, intending to begin "ideological liberation" of the people in order to obtain more labor force capable of exploiting local resources... That was the original plan.

Three days after the victory in the war against the Holy British Empire and the occupation of Area 11, an unexpected counterattack began.

"The Black Knights?!"

“That’s right. They attacked several of our strongholds in Area 11 under the pretext of reviving Japan and resisting the invaders. Many of our strongholds have already fallen. It doesn’t seem like a sudden decision.”

Upon hearing this, the commander sneered, "It seems they're using us as bait, aren't they afraid of breaking their own teeth? — Counterattack! If they can do this, we can do it too! I don't believe that if we fight on this land, who will be the one who gets hurt in the end!"

And so, the war that had just ended began again, but this time it was different from before.

Black Knights Headquarters.

"Our enemy is not the Holy British Empire, but a group of militants who seized the opportunity to occupy East Asia. They are the invaders, while our defenders—we—are on the side of justice!"

"On this land, everyone is their enemy, and at the same time, everyone is our friend. If one falls, thousands upon thousands will rise. This war will ultimately be a victory for us, for all of Japan!"

The inspiring speech easily stirred people's excitement. With a surge of emotion for the word "Japan," people drove Knightmare vehicles, supported by six companies from Kyoto, to the battlefield and launched a fanatical attack on the "invaders."

The expeditionary force was equally annoyed by the attack from these alien natives. After receiving orders from above, they launched a counterattack, and soon large and small battles engulfed this land that had just emerged from war...

Some people welcomed this situation, while others felt dissatisfied or even fearful, so they went after the conspirators who started the war.

"Zero, why did you start this war?!"

"For Japan."

"Look at Japan now, do you still dare to say this is for its own good?"

"A nation cannot rise by simply making concessions and seeking peace. It must experience the pain and suffering of war to grow... Japan has been called Area 11 for too long. There must be a war that can awaken it again. In the past, the Holy British Empire, which occupied this land, would have been the best choice, but now we can only use these people."

Kagura, her expression wavering, gritted her teeth: "What do you plan to do if we lose this war?"

ZERO, with his back to her, scoffed: "Tactics, combat power, intelligence... we have an absolute advantage in everything on the chessboard. We never lost even when facing the Holy British Empire, let alone these enemies now."

Hearing the words she longed to hear most reassured Kagura, a smile appeared on her face: "What do you plan to do after this battle?"

This time, Zero didn't answer immediately, for a simple reason.

"...Now is not the time to consider such things."

With a pout, Kagura said, "I have something to tell you after the battle," and then left, leaving Zero alone facing the chessboard on the battlefield.

What to do after this battle?

Zero was also wondering: after all, the main reason he established the Black Knights was to take revenge on his father, the Emperor of the Holy Britannian Empire. However, the person he was taking revenge on was already dead. Did he really still need to continue leading the Black Knights in battle?

As Zero pondered these things, he sensed a presence approaching from behind.

"Charles' death is very strange."

His relaxed emotions immediately tightened, and he turned to look at the "witch" who had granted him the ability of Geass: "What do you mean?"

Do you think Charles is the kind of person who would be easily killed?

Zero fell silent.

The person who understands you best in the world is always your enemy, even if you become father and son. It was precisely because of his understanding of Charles that Lelouch was unwilling to believe that the man who seemed like a demon to him when he was a child could die so easily. But it was also a fact that he hadn't appeared for the past two weeks. Or perhaps...

"Either he has gone into hiding like the emperor of the Chinese Federation, or he has encountered a disaster that even Geass's abilities cannot avoid."

Zero, who had caught a peculiar word, froze and instinctively asked, "Geass?"

“That’s right, oh, I forgot to tell you, Charles also has the ability of Geass.”

"..."

Now that things had come to this, Zero didn't want to say anything more about the witch in front of him, and simply asked, "What is a calamity that even Geass's abilities couldn't avoid?"

"If I knew what it was, I wouldn't be standing here."

As she said this, the witch, once again displaying her familiar languid demeanor, sprawled out on the sofa without a care for her image: "When that time really comes, just run as far away as you can. Anyway, your wish isn't to die, right?"

"So, does that mean the events in the Chinese Federation, the Holy British Empire, and the EU are all like this?"

As he frowned, pondering the possible shady dealings behind the incident, news of victory arrived from the battlefield: "Ha, General."

----------segmentation----------

The chief of staff was furious, not because he had become a native of the alien army in two consecutive worlds, but because of the series of "unfortunate" events he had encountered after setting foot on this land.

First, the heavy firepower they carried became unusable due to moisture at sea. Then, the communication lines were interrupted by magnetic interference. After that, an unexpected situation occurred during the march. In short, in less than two days, the chief of staff encountered almost every misfortune he could have in his life, which led to his capture and imprisonment.

He had no doubt what he would encounter next given his current "unfortunate" state... if it weren't for this "unexpected visitor".

"You have never disappointed me when it comes to being disappointing."

The magnetic field surrounding him instantly crushed several soldiers who had their backs turned into dust. Lin Yi turned around to face the chief of staff, who had an embarrassed expression on his face.

Soul Leap: Chapter 339 Lelouch the Rebellious (8)

That's what they say, but Lin Yi could also understand why these expeditionary forces failed.

Just like those reincarnators in the past, although they have borne more than 90% of the world's malice, the remaining little bit still affects these ordinary people in various ways. Although it is not to the point that they will choke to death even if they drink water, it is enough to cause some unfortunate situations in "accidents".

"Seven o'clock direction."

After leaving behind a piece of information, Lin Yi did not linger any longer. He used the magnetic field to propel his body back to the sky, looking down at the battlefield below where scattered battles were still taking place.

Broadly speaking, it was a complete and one-sided defeat for the expeditionary force.

Firstly, the humans from another world have only recently come into contact with Knightmare, so it's impossible for them to easily operate these complex, large machines like operators in the native world... Even excavators require an adaptation period, let alone humanoid weapons.

Secondly, there is a lack of familiarity with the local environment. For example, where can one hide, where can one use as cover, and where is one vulnerable to attack? An expeditionary force fighting on foreign soil can only fight as a group; if they split up, they are doomed.

The third and most fatal point is that they had terrible luck.

It's like a driver with two pedals under their feet, accidentally pressing the accelerator instead of the brake. You can imagine how difficult it would be to fight in that situation.

Numerous negative factors have put the expeditionary force at a complete disadvantage. If nothing unexpected happens, this battle will end in a crushing defeat for the expeditionary force. As for what will happen after the defeat... Lin Yi believes it will definitely not be pleasant.

He shook his head and reached down.

----------segmentation----------

—An undeniable victory.

After receiving news from Karen about capturing the enemy commander, ZERO came to a conclusion.

Even Zero himself was a little surprised that the battle could be ended in such a short time. After all, it was an armed regime that had seized control of East Asia and snatched food from the mouth of the Chinese Federation. It was quite amazing that the Black Knights could defeat it so easily in a near-crushing manner. However, considering that the Chinese Federation was already in a state of extreme chaos and corruption, Zero was relieved.

"The person who wins on the chessboard is not necessarily strong; it could be because the opponent is too weak."

With this sudden realization, Zero led the witch to the front line and met the invader who had just been captured.

"Are you, you overconfident and evil invaders, ready to face the judgment of justice?"

The commander felt more displeasure than anything else when faced with this masked, secretive man.

—A chaotic failure.

Before the war even began, a series of unexpected situations occurred that should not have happened. During the war, the transmission of various orders was riddled with loopholes. Even when the battle turned against them and they decided to retreat, some members of the expeditionary force, in a moment of madness, led enemy troops into their own command base.

Through the various strategies and calculations during this battle, the commander admitted that there was indeed a brilliant commander behind the Black Knights, but he did not lose because of superior command and strategy, but because of a series of "accidents" and "coincidences".

Naturally, he felt resentful, so when faced with the victor's speech, he just sneered: "You'll soon find out who's overestimating themselves, you cowardly coward."

"Oh, you still have a trump card up your sleeve?"

Stopping the Black Knights members who were about to intervene, Zero spoke to the prisoner before him with interest: "Is this the kind of weapon that caused the 'disappearance' of the Emperor of the Chinese Federation and the Emperor of the Holy Britannian Empire?"

With a mocking expression on his face, just as the commander was about to loudly proclaim his greatest secret along with his elation, an extremely strange feeling welled up in his heart.

--who I am?

Where am I?

What am I doing?

His open mouth involuntarily stiffened, and within seconds of that abnormal mental state subsiding, the commander's back was soaked with cold sweat.

Unbelievable.

He couldn't think of any other word to describe his mental state a few seconds ago. At that moment, he had completely forgotten his identity and responsibilities, and was just like a gambler who had lost everything, trying to use some "secret" to get back the chips he had lost, without ever thinking about the consequences of doing so.

Even more terrifying was what he was about to say—

Realizing that his mental state was extremely abnormal, the commander immediately shut his mouth. He made up his mind that even if he was shot dead immediately, he would never utter another word.

However, things often turn out the way people want them to.

The commander's change in attitude easily caught Zero's attention, and his initial guess, which wasn't very certain, immediately became almost certain: "And the EU matter, all of these were your doing?"

"..."

"It seems I was right."

After reciting a phrase as if he had a sudden realization, Zero immediately ordered the soldiers to take the prisoner in front of him to the solitary confinement cell. He couldn't possibly expose his Geass ability in public, even though he was eager to know what was being concealed. But right now, the more important thing was to deal with the aftermath of the battle.

Even so, Zero still felt a little uneasy after making the decision. This was not something he could easily tell others. After hesitating for a few minutes, he finally spoke to the "witch" who had always been by his side and knew all his secrets: "Could it be that Geass's power killed Charles?"

"I don't know, but as far as I know, there shouldn't be this kind of brutal destruction in Geass."

Recalling the horrific scenes of the incident between the Chinese Federation and the Holy Britannian Empire that he had collected afterward, Zero nodded unconsciously.

Indeed, compared to other Geass abilities I'm familiar with, whether it's my own "Absolute Command" or Mao's "mind reading," they all lean towards the human will rather than directly interfering with objective reality. Even if such a type of Geass truly existed, it couldn't possibly reach that exaggerated level; at most, it would only enhance physical attributes or affect a small area, far from being as powerful as that—

The crimson ray swept across the horizon at the edge of his vision, and the noisy sounds around him turned into deathly silence in an instant. Through the cover of his helmet, Zero was unable to catch a glimpse of what it was. He only caught a glimpse of the sky above his head when the witch next to him tackled him to the ground.

"……people?"

Soul Leap: Chapter 340 Lelouch the Rebellious (9)

There are visible wonders and invisible conveniences... Although the two are often disproportionate, Lin Yi still has this thought when it comes to actions like "elimination".

Crushing an ant is easy, but crushing thousands of ants, along with the other creatures around them—whether maggots or flies—is anything but easy.

In situations like this, being "unseen" is actually the best outcome.

—Because it is invisible, it can disregard the distinction between right and wrong and "erasure" all matter, whether organic or inorganic, equally.
