Chapter 709: Want to Drink Divine Wine? No Problem, Drink Your Fill!

"The outcome is decided."

Broly moved a chair and sat down imposingly in Liliruca's form.

"Next comes the stage of purging dissenters."

"Hah? Arde, you— you're going to kill us?"

Chanisi's confidant's voice trembled.

His identity was destined to be the target of liquidation, but he attempted to use words to incite those facing the same crisis, trying to condense a final resistance force.

"Kill you?" The Pallum girl sneered, shaking her head. "No, killing you holds no meaning for me."

"Then— Elder Team Leader Arde, I'm willing to follow you!"

The drunkard who had just thrown a wine bottle to interfere now knelt on the ground without hesitation, expressing loyalty somewhat obsequiously.

"I don't need your following."

The Pallum girl on the seat spoke in a tone that was flat yet brooked no argument.

"Then— do you intend to expel us from the Soma Familia?"

A group of members who knew they were 'dissenters' looked at each other in dismay, only able to think of this worst possibility.

And this punishment was already extremely heavy for them, because expulsion meant they might lose the Falna.

Well, the Falna is something that can be blocked and retracted by the bestowing god.

If Liliruca Arde could persuade Suma-sama to give them up, that was entirely possible to achieve.

And once reduced to ordinary people, they would be unable to join other Familias because of the Falna sealed on their bodies.

Those villains who committed evil deeds daily feared most that after losing their power, they might be sought out by old enemies and beaten while down.

"Right, we still have Suma-sama—"

Suddenly, someone thought of something and spoke up.

"Arde, you seized Chanisi's Team Leader position like this, do you think Suma-sama will acknowledge you?"

Discovering they were doomed, many people began to recall their own Familia's somewhat marginalized god, seemingly wanting to rely on him to fight for a fate of not being liquidated.

"That god who doesn't manage affairs, we've made such an uproar tonight and he still didn't come out to check the situation, do you think he'll come out to manage this now?"

The Pallum girl Broly transformed into spoke with slight mockery, causing the Soma Familia members who had pinned their hopes on the god to shut their mouths.

Yeah, if their own god really managed things, how could the Soma Familia have become Chanisi's one-man show?

Everyone instantly wilted.

"However, don't worry, I also don't intend to expel you."

Broly's gaze swept over this group of people, as if examining goods one by one.

"Familia members are a Familia's precious assets; who would haphazardly discard their own assets?"

Hearing this, whether the victors' side, the neutral faction, or the losers, all were baffled by these words.

Not killing, not accepting, not expelling— then how exactly is this 'purging of dissenters' supposed to be carried out?

"Arde, what are you thinking?"

After Chandra finished staunching the bleeding for the unconscious Chanisi, she couldn't help but ask.

In response, Broly in Liliruca's guise didn't conceal it, the corner of her mouth hooking into a meaningful arc as she said: "I have a channel on Pleasure Street, I have business dealings with the Ishtar Familia, I intend to package and sell Chanisi and those standing on his side entirely to them."

"Ah, you're going to sell us to Pleasure Street?!"

Exclamations erupted from the crowd.

"That's right."

Liliruca standing at the side took over the conversation.

"For today, I spent several million Valis purchasing this equipment, and another ten million Valis commissioning a special medicine.

Now that I've become Team Leader, this bill must be reimbursed by someone; selling you bad assets is one way to reimburse the bill."

This was something Liliruca had thought of after the plan to deal with the Soma Familia was finalized.

Broly-san spent money and effort for her, so of course she also had to make some repayment after achieving success.

Although the best repayment for Broly was her happiness, Liliruca didn't know that.

So she insisted on reimbursing the money spent after the matter succeeded.

What's called losing a battle and having to cede territory and pay indemnities— this is it.

Of course, this belongs to selling captives, attempting to break even.

"Then— who do you intend to sell us to in the Ishtar Familia?"

Chanisi's confidant swallowed saliva, voice dry.

Having lost the internal Familia power struggle, not being beheaded was already a stroke of luck, but the Ishtar Familia of Pleasure Street—

Female members were still alright, at most it was the flesh trade; as for the female Soma Familia members who were rotten drunks, those guys had perhaps long done similar things in private for money.

But the male members were terrified, because there sat the 'Man Killer' Furini; one misstep falling into her hands would be a true fate worse than death.

Broly seemed to see through their fear, frankly stating the trade partner's name: "Of course selling to the Ishtar Familia's Team Leader, Miss Furini."

At these words, all male members who knew they would be sold instantly turned ashen.

"Ah! Falling into that big toad's hands, we'll be tortured to death!"

"Nonsense," Broly sneered, "Selling you over, do you think it's for you to enjoy?

"Rather than being tormented by that Man Killer, might as well go all out against you, Arde, this guy!"

A bold member screamed, attempting a final struggle.

Before the words fell, the 'Liliruca' on the chair flashed.

The next second, Broly appeared ghost-like before that person.

A heavy fist blasted into the opponent's abdomen, immediately followed by a high axe kick chopping down, directly smashing that person into the ground.

Before the other party could react, his foot stomped hard on the back of their head.

The wooden floor shattered in response, fresh blood gradually seeping out.

The one who wanted to fight it out fainted without a sound.

"Fight me? With your feeble strength?"

The "Pallum girl" looked down from above, a wicked and arrogant smile hanging on her face, the spitting image of a villain character.

This posture, this bearing — they were worlds apart from the Liliruca in their impression.

Of course, they didn't know that the Pallum girl running wild right now was merely the Saiyan boy helping her act out a posture that would easily establish prestige.

In Broly's life, the prestige-establishing events he had experienced, the comparatively classic one was only that time in the KonoSuba World helping Megumin become the Red Demon King.

So, the image he was now acting out using Liliruca's exterior had seven parts resemblance to the Red Demon King Megumin, especially that arrogant, unrivaled bearing.

As for the remaining three parts of dissimilarity, it was because he himself was habituated to speaking with facts, directly moving to knock others down, which instead gave the transformed Pallum girl an extra domineering quality in temperament and image.

At the side, Liliruca watching the boy acting as her, the corner of her mouth couldn't help but twitch, this arrogant posture was absolutely something she would find very hard to pull off.

"Rather than being sold off, it's better for everyone to scatter and run, that guy Chandra can't possibly catch everyone!"

Someone shouted, turned and ran, just like they had made some determination.

However, this person hadn't run a few steps before being caught up to by Broly; Broly's transformed Pallum girl, a whip kick viciously lashed that person's waist side.

A crisp bone-crack sound rang out, the fleeing person flew out like a broken sack.

"Ah, it hurts, my leg————no feeling!"

The person rolled on the ground several times, by the time they stopped, the other party cried out in pain, but lay paralyzed on the ground unable to move, lumbar vertebrae already kicked apart.

Of course, in this world that possesses magic, this doesn't count as any major injury, but losing mobility before healing is real.

And this scene shocked everyone; those daring to resist had their heads stomped into the ground, those daring to flee had their lumbar vertebrae directly kicked apart.

And the Pallum girl who did these things still looked at them with a half-smile, as if saying: Run, resist, this is the outcome.

"There's so many of us, Furini can't possibly eat all of us by herself————"

Chandra's confidant attempted to comfort himself.

【Yeah, there are unlucky ones, but it won't necessarily be me————】

Compared to possibly falling into the Man Killer's hands later and being tortured to death, it's still better than being directly beaten into a cripple by the brutal Liliruca Arde right now.

Holding this fluke mentality, the originally restless crowd instantly quieted down, shrinking their necks like quails, not daring the slightest movement.

Looking at this group of resigned fellows, feeling he should have helped Liliruca establish sufficient prestige, Broly immediately nodded in satisfaction.

"Chandra, tie them up and keep watch. I'll go report the situation to Suma-sama."

Instructions finished, Broly brought the real Liliruca at his side upstairs.

"Bang!"

The door to the room where the god resided was kicked open by him with one foot.

"Is it over?"

Soma, still single-mindedly mixing drinks, asked, just hearing the sound of the door being closed again.

Then, a person walked over in quick steps.

Jumped onto the table, then reached out and grabbed his collar.

Strength was great, directly lifting him up from the chair.

"Uh, Liliruca? No————you're not Liliruca! Who are you?"

Soma asked in shock, he who could see through souls obviously discovered the difference between the soul of the person before him and his own familia's Pallum girl.

"First meeting, God Soma, and this may be the last time you see another person."

Broly swung his arm, tossing this god out like throwing a sandbag.

"Broly-san!"

Liliruca exclaimed.

"Why did you do this to Suma-sama?"

"Lili, the cure-for-divine-wine-addiction medicine lost effect."

Broly said in a deep voice.

Liliruca stunned: "You mean, Suma-sama did something to the wine?"

"Otherwise, how to explain those people still being able to be incited by Chandra's divine wine, intending to siege you?"

Broly nodded, he hated traitors, Soma's displayed attitude was clearly leaning toward their side, but the cure-for-divine-wine-addiction medicine not taking effect proved this guy might be a god who goes back on his word.

Considering this point, Broly didn't mind sending the other party back to Heaven early, although this world has the rule that mortals cannot harm gods.

But he merely carried the other party to a high place and let go, Soma falling to his death or using divine power to be sent back to Heaven, this totally can't be blamed on his head.

Didn't think about killing the other party, attempting to make this god thoroughly die in the Lower World (the kind that can't resurrect), was still for Liliruca's sake.

"I didn't do anything to the wine, as long as one drinks wine mixed with your medicine, it will absolutely take effect."

Soma coughed, right behind Liliruca, defending himself.

"Then you say, why didn't the medicine take effect, are you trying to say the things Miach God made are inferior goods?"

"Divine wine addiction is the drinker's psychological addiction pursuing pure pleasure, and those who have drunk wine mixed with the cure-for-divine-wine-addiction medicine, when they drink divine wine again, the divine wine will become incomparably bitter in their mouths, but if they don't know this, they naturally will be incited by divine wine."

Soma also heard the reason why he was sought out by this person, so he directly explained the reason why those who drank wine mixed with the cure-for-divine-wine-addiction medicine would still be incited by divine wine.

"Uh, the cure-for-divine-wine-addiction medicine has this effect?"

Broly froze, looked at the Pallum girl.

Liliruca scratched her cheek, somewhat embarrassed: "I————I didn't ask Hestia-sama the medicine's specific effect"

Broly looking at the innocent, aggrieved-looking Soma on the ground, instantly felt a wave of embarrassment: "Suma-sama, just now my hand slipped, do you believe me?"

Soma watched him in silence, her gaze beneath her bangs full of speechlessness.

After a while, she actually nodded: "I believe you didn't mean it."

"Uh———— sorry, Lili and I still have something to do, so we'll leave first."

Broly helped Soma up, then hurriedly left with Liliruca, carefully and gently closing the door behind him, a completely different person from the one who had violently kicked it open upon arrival.

"So this is the person Lili encountered————"

In the room, Soma patted the dust off herself, muttering in a small voice.

"Although a bit rough, he is indeed someone who can protect that child.

She shook her head, then continued her work of blending the wine.

After going downstairs, Broly headed straight for the divine wine Chanisi had prepared for the Divine Wine Banquet today.

He picked up a bottle and tossed it to Chandra.

", for me?"

Chandra's face was full of surprise and delight.

"No," Broly pointed at the bound failures, "for them to drink."

"Ah?"

Chandra opened his mouth wide, then reacted and silently closed it.

Death row inmates still get a last meal before execution.

Chanisi's henchmen are all going to be taken to Pleasure Street and sold to Furini.

Having a cup of last-drink wine doesn't seem like a problem.

"Wuu————"

Hearing they could still have a cup of last-drink divine wine, the Soma Familia members about to be sold actually looked at Broly with a hint of gratitude in their eyes.

Divine wine is originally something that lets people easily attain bliss.

"Erde, you're not bad either, if I'd known I should've followed you just now."

Liliruca stood by silently speechless; she knew Broly-san had come to test if the anti-divine-wine-addiction medicine had failed, but right now it wasn't good to explain that.

Of course, there was also no need to explain it.

~」

And after the divine wine was poured out and fed to the Soma Familia members about to be sold, they, who had been expecting to drink their last drink, all in unison made the same retching motion.

"Erde, this isn't divine wine, what exactly did you give us to drink?"

The extreme bitterness made these divine wine drinkers shed tears and snot from the bitterness.

【Looks like the anti-divine-wine-addiction medicine is effective.】

Broly nodded.

"What are you all babbling about, if this isn't divine wine then what is it?"

Chandra was somewhat baffled by these people spitting out the divine wine, and also felt a bit pained over the wasted divine wine.

He subconsciously wiped the bottle mouth with his thumb, then put the thumb stained with divine wine into his mouth to taste, and then, *yue*, he also dry-heaved.

"No, Erde, you, *yue*, what did you do to the divine wine, why does this bottle of divine wine taste like this?"

The human burly man feeling cheated hurriedly asked, he felt the divine wine in his hand was just like bile.

No wonder the people who drank it would retch; it would be strange if a normal person didn't retch.

"It's not a problem with the divine wine, but a problem with you drinking Rational Wine; a small amount of Special Medicine that helps the drinker quit divine wine addiction was added inside."

Since Chandra was the number one Soma Familia member standing on her side, Liliruca gave this human burly man an explanation.

And this information was substantial, making the dry-heaving human burly man widen his eyes: "You seizing the Captain position, was that also Suma-sama's intention?"

At this moment, he daydreamed a lot.

"Uh, more or less.

, Liliruca thought for a bit, then nodded.

Suma-sama has the intention to change the Familia, that is indeed true.

Although, the whole matter is being led by them.

"I see, I see, Suma-sama, has finally pulled herself together?"

Although the taste in his mouth was a bit unpleasant, Chandra was still very happy.

He took off the wine gourd at his waist, preparing to use his own wine to rinse his mouth.

Then————

" *yue~*"

He dry-heaved again.

"No, why did my wine also turn bitter?"

He looked at his wine gourd in confusion, then at the two Pallum girls beside him.

"Because the anti-divine-wine-addiction medicine also works on other alcohol."

The two Lilirucas made eye contact, and the real Pallum girl explained again.

Chandra and the other Soma Familia members:

That Rational Wine thing, it seems they all drank it.

"This, has timeliness, right?"

A Soma Familia member who had stood on Liliruca's side just now asked with a trembling voice.

"Uh, don't know."

Liliruca was a bit embarrassed.

"There's an antidote, right?"

That person asked again in a trembling voice.

"Uh, I don't know that either."

The Pallum girl knew nothing about anything.

"We won't be able to drink anymore from now on, right?"

"Oh, no!"

A group of Soma Familia members who were temporarily not being purged and were glad they hadn't taken sides just now looked like their parents had died at this moment.

However, this wasn't their fault, after all, letting a group of alcoholics be unable to drink in the future was the greatest torture for them.

"Hmph, I don't know if you can drink in the future, but I know that if you don't get up and work, I'll make it so you have no future."

Broly, playing the Pallum girl, spoke like a great villain, and the wailing Soma Familia members fell silent at once.

"Now, take them to Pleasure Street to sell."

Broly gave the order, his voice seeming to have magic power, making other Soma Familia members dare not be slow, all responding in agreement and escorting the same-Familia members who had taken the wrong side out the door.

"Erde, what about these people?"

Once outside, Chandra pointed at a group of people lying in the courtyard outside and asked.

"Hmm, send a few people, take some Divine Wine out, and make them drink it!"

Hearing this, the alcoholics on the ground still feeling the aftereffects of Extreme Pain Finger instantly had their eyes light up.

"But these people have also drunk Rational Wine—"

"Precisely because they've drunk it, give them Divine Wine to drink."

Broly glanced at Chandra.

"Otherwise, would I let these bastards who dared to besiege me enjoy themselves?"

Broly generally didn't hold grudges, but these bastards who dared to besiege Liliruca were an exception.

Killing them wasn't necessary, selling them was probably unwanted by others, but making them suffer was still possible.

"Remember, at least one cup per person, only allowed to drink more, not allowed to drink less."

"Ah, sir, if it's Divine Wine, I can drink a bottle."

Someone immediately endured the pain, climbed up from the ground, and said.

"I can drink as much as I have!"

Someone else shouted while enduring the pain.

And these bastards didn't discover at all that the Official Members of the Soma Familia were looking at them with incomparable pity.

Drinking Divine Wine for free was indeed enjoyable before drinking Rational Wine, but after drinking Rational Wine, look at that group being escorted, some still retching, and you'd know what the situation was—that was almost like drinking bile, yet someone was fighting to drink it.

"Very good, very spirited, hmm, you are responsible for supervising these few bastards who said they want to drink more; if they drink less than a bottle's worth of Divine Wine, don't let them leave."

【Demon, this is a demon, right?!】

The Soma Familia member assigned the quest muttered a sentence in his heart, while on the surface he agreed.
