Chapter 771: If You Dare Speak Such Nonsense, Then Let You Feel Pain Too

As the last glow of dusk faded, Tione and Tiona, the sisters, arrived at this abandoned shipyard by the sea.

They carried no weapons, because the death matches of Dun Country are bare-handed, the most naked kind of flesh-and-blood slaughter.

The shipyard was built along a sea cave, vast and forming an arc-shaped arena; members of the Kali Familia sat or stood on each tier of the steps, and Tione walked in, reaching the center, watched by a crowd of Amazonesses.

"Kali, we're here. Whatever you want to do, whatever you want to pull, just say it directly."

This Amazon girl's complexion was serious, staring straight at the young goddess seated on the highest tier, pouring out her heart directly.

"I bestowed my grace upon you, and you repay me with pleasure. I am ready to collect the repayment for the grace I once bestowed upon you and your younger sister.

Come, right here, before me, put on a bloody battle that pleases me — the spattering of fresh blood, the wails of the defeated, the abandon of the victor — that is what I want to see."

At the young goddess's words, Algana leapt down from the upper steps, landing right before Tione.

"Your opponent is me. So many years have passed; I hope the overly relaxed environment of the outside world hasn't turned you into trash, into a waste."

"Whether I'm trash or a waste, Algana, I'll let you have a proper taste of it in a moment."

Algana was once her combat skills teacher, but the master-disciple relationship didn't mean they were on good terms; on the contrary, Tione had suffered much harsh training at this guy's hands, as well as trampling education that could only be called torture.

More than half the dark clouds of her entire childhood were brought by the person before her.

Meanwhile, on Tiona's side, facing the combat skills teacher who walked up to her — Bache Garelf — the flat-chested Amazon girl's face showed a troubled look.

"Little Kali, do you really have to make us fight? Can't we not fight? I don't want to fight Teacher Bache, and I don't want to fight any of you."

Unlike her sister, who met a harsh combat skills teacher, Tiona's combat skills teacher, Bache, had a gentler personality.

Although she wouldn't hold back during training either (holding back in Dun Country meant a student might die in a struggle), when not training, this person would even specially go learn the common language of the outside world from Kali, the Main God, just to tell Tiona, as her student, the occasional Argonaut Hero Tales she'd gotten from outsiders.

In Tiona's simple heart, this teacher was, in Dun Country, the second most important person besides her sister, her weight probably on par with Kali herself.

"Hahaha, Tiona, you really dare to speak, no wonder you're the first child to propose wanting to leave Dun Country.

However, a willful request like this, I cannot agree to. My grace is only given to those who can please me.

These years, you two precious children have both been away from Dun Country, and I've lost much pleasure because I couldn't see your splendid death matches."

"Little Kali, you stingy ghost!"

Bache: "..."

She held considerable respect for Tiona, her former student, because in all of Dun Country's history, only this one person had ever dared speak so recklessly to the Main God.

Tiona's brain circuits differed from common sense; even when doing cruel things — for example, killing a roommate she'd grown up with in a death match — she could still wear an innocent, radiant smile on her face as she personally ended their life.

She is a true... a girl who seemingly doesn't take Dun Country's internal cruel slaughter and struggles to heart at all.

Completely different from someone like me, who merely didn't want to die at the hands of my crazy biological twin sister, and thus strove to grow stronger.

"Tiona, prepare for battle. I will not show you any mercy.

If you are defeated, you will face a very bad outcome.

The man belonging to you will be trampled by the people here, right before your eyes."

Bache gave a word of reminder.

After many years apart, she also didn't know what state Tiona was in now.

Perhaps she would still be that idiot who, because her opponent was an acquaintance, didn't want to strike hard, and consequently ended up severely injured herself.

And compared to fighting such a somewhat naive girl, Bache, as Tiona's former combat skills teacher, hoped even more that Tiona would go all out, fighting for her own sake.

"Ah, you're going to trample Broly right before my eyes?!"

Tiona had thought kidnapping was already a top-tier operation; she didn't expect there was something even more excessive.

"Hmm, this is my sister's decision; I can only comply."

Bache nodded seriously.

"But the people here, even combined, couldn't possibly beat Broly, right?"

Tiona spoke the truth.

"Hah, what's that guy saying? We can't beat a man?"

"Can't beat him? Then how was he easily kidnapped by us?"

The Amazoness warriors preparing to watch the death match immediately started clamoring upon hearing Tiona's words.

Even Kali looked at the Saiyan youth behind her with a somewhat puzzled gaze.

"Snap—"

Broly exerted slight force and, right before Kali's eyes, snapped the iron chain on his wrist.

"Ah, you..."

The Amazon woman guarding him on the side, who had just said she'd snap his neck if he disobeyed, subconsciously tried to move, but Broly raised his hand and poked her in the throat.

A cracking sound rang out; this person's throat bone was directly shattered by the poke.

Vomiting blood, clutching her throat in extreme pain, the whole person knelt on the ground like a dried shrimp.

Not dead, but directly lost combat capability.

"Want to verify whether you people can beat me or not?"

"You bastard..."

Algana turned back, narrowing her eyes; she hadn't expected her eyes had failed her — the guy who was tied up and brought here was actually an expert too.

"Dun Country's tradition does not allow outsiders to intervene in a one-on-one death match; once someone intervenes, others may besiege the intervener. If you intervene, your safety will not be guaranteed in any way."

Kali gave a reminder.

"Tiona is my wife; her business is my business, and I can let her choose not to do things that make her unhappy.

Kali, you, this god, merely want to see Tiona's growth after leaving Dun Country, but her growth also includes the fact of becoming my wife.

If you allow me to fight in Tiona's place, I don't care who my opponent is — whether it's one of your children, or all your children present.

Of course, whether you agree or not, I can knock down all your children present; it's just that if you agree, I'll consider going slightly easier on them."

"What?"

"You want to fight all of us?"

"Arrogant bastard!"

"Since you want to die that badly, then come!"

"Lady Kali……"

Broly's voice was not quiet; basically everyone in the shipyard could hear clearly, and the matter of him shattering a Kali Familia member's throat bone could not scare this group of Dun Country Amazoness who grew up experiencing bloody death battles from childhood.

Yet these people clamored one by one, wanting to kill him; it was only because the young Goddess had not yet expressed her stance that they did not directly make a move.

"This one has heard the saying from the outside world that 'husband and wife are one body'; since you do not care about being besieged, then……"

Kali stood up and announced to her own children in the shipyard: "This one permits him to act as Tiona's husband and substitute fight for Tiona, but the one-on-one death duel rules will also be changed; everyone can besiege him without restriction."

The moment her words fell, an Amazoness warrior jumped over, her long leg raised high, chopping toward Broly's head in a battle-axe posture.

With a crack, the hard stone stairs directly shattered, yet both stone and person dropped together to the lower level; battle was practically instantaneous.

The other Amazoness, like piranhas smelling blood, rushed toward where the two had fallen.

"To actually dare say you'll beat down all of this one's children present, then this one hopes you can bring this one an extremely spectacular bloody battle."

"Ah, my hand."

"It hurts, my leg."

……

Amidst the smoke and dust, Broly adopted an extremely hard-line fighting style, responding to the Amazoness besieging him.

That is, fist against fist, leg against leg.

And the high-stat fist-clashes and leg-clashes brought about the crushing of those with lower stats.

When clashing fists, those struck by Broly directly had their fist bones and forearm bones shattered.

When whip kicks came, they were instead counter-attacked by an even fiercer whip kick from Broly, kicking their leg bones apart.

Such things kept happening continuously.

"Bastard, die!"

The first Amazoness warrior to launch an attack tried to repeat her old trick.

But as she raised her leg high to chop down again, her ankle was caught by the youth.

Immense force transmitted from the ankle; immediately after, her whole person, like the blades of a windmill, was swung around by Broly.

Bang bang bang, this person was used as a long-handled weapon, directly smashing away the surrounding Amazoness warriors rushing over.

And after Broly spun her several circles, he let go; the other party, like a cannonball, was thrown out.

With a slap, she smashed into the distant stone wall; the stone wall cracked, and the person was bounced out by the reflected force, falling from a height of five or six meters.

Algana had also wanted to fight Tione, but before she could, a person dropped down from above.

"Go deal with him first, then come deal with you!"

Recognizing the fallen person as a rare Lv. 5 within the Familia, Algana said this to Tione, and like a cheetah pounced toward the upper stairs, toward the direction where Broly was currently rampaging unmatched.

This person's speed was very fast; in a flash she arrived behind Broly.

Right fist clenched at her waist, gathering power, she threw a heavy cannon fist of great momentum at Broly.

Broly did not yield to her either; from bottom to top, he returned an uppercut.

The two fists collided with a dull roar; when Algana was knocked flying, the ground under Broly's feet also could not hold, and was punched down another level.

Feeling the pain on her right fist, Algana's expression was grave to the extreme; although her fist bones were not shattered, her right hand was already trembling unconsciously.

This made her realize that that half-grown brat's strength might be above her own Lv. 6.

"Bache, quickly use your 'Vargas' (Poison-Adhesion Magic) to deal with this guy!"

Realizing the opponent was strong, Algana directly called her younger sister to come fight.

"But, my venom during a siege will strike friend and foe alike, painfully hitting those also besieging him."

Bache came over, but regarding the situation where other Familia members were still besieging Broly, she felt it hard to act.

"Don't mind the life and death of these trash; their only use is to restrict that guy's movements, and……"

Algana pounced out, but not to attack Broly; instead she grabbed a fallen Amazoness warrior, opened her mouth and bit onto the other's neck.

Fresh blood sprayed; Algana sucked the blood, and activated her Curse Magic 'Black Heavenly Woman'.

And the effect of Black Heavenly Woman's magic is: by drinking the fresh blood of one possessing the Gods' Blessing, temporarily and greatly boosting one's own ability values.

The cost is that during the magic's activation, the 'Durability' among one's own ability values will greatly decrease; in other words, Algana will become a high-attack but fragile high-agility warrior.

"I still need a period of time to stack power; before that, you try your best to inflict damage on that guy, best to let your toxin fully invade his body, making his reactions sluggish."

Algana gave orders to her younger sister, then began prowling the battlefield edge; all those Amazoness beaten down by Broly suffered her blood-drinking attacks, this person stacking a high-attack buff using her own people.

"Vargas."

Bache cast her short-chant Poison Magic; her body looked as if it had been wiped with a layer of purple lubricant.

Only, the dripping venom fell on the ground, emitting a sizzling sound; clearly, her adhesion-type Poison Magic possessed extreme corrosiveness.

Although her sister told her not to mind others, Bache still had the other Amazoness make way, and only then attacked toward that youth who stood unyielding amidst the siege, even uninjured.

Fist against fist, a sizzling sound rang out from the contact point; Bache's attack finally caused Broly to suffer some injury.

A kick struck out, dodged by Bache's agile body twist; Broly looked at his right fist stained an abnormal color, and couldn't help but frown.

Even while in a super-overloaded training state, poison that could take effect on his body was still quite rare.

"Corrosive poison, will continuously damage you; neurotoxin, will gradually paralyze your body; but sister won't show mercy to someone in a weakened state; if you don't want to be beaten to death by her, best to obediently let me beat you down."

Bache's Poison Magic produces a mixed toxin; even opponents far stronger than her, once contaminated by her poison, will be dragged down bit by bit.

Just like a poisonous snake, once it bites prey and injects venom, the prey cannot escape; just wait for the venom's effect to take hold.

Only, compared to the Poison Magic she uses, this person's heart is unexpectedly bright; she actually still worries Broly might be beaten to death by her buff-stacked sister, and is persuading the youth to be beaten down by her.

"Thanks for your kindness, but the influence your toxin has on me is actually not that great……"

Broly tapped his foot and instantly closed the distance to Bache.

Bache subconsciously spread her arms and lunged, intending to smear the venom coating her body over a wide area of her opponent.

Broly, meanwhile, clad his hand in Qi; just as his fist was about to slam into the other's abdomen, it suddenly turned into a palm.

Since the person before him showed goodwill, he would show goodwill in return — he did not shatter her ribs, but instead braced his palm and struck her stomach hard, sending her flying backward.

After Bache hit the ground, she felt her stomach churning violently; she lay prone, vomiting uncontrollably, looking as if she would vomit up even her bile. Though she had not suffered severe injury, the physical sensation was scarcely any better.

Bang bang pop…

Aaaah…

The Amazoness warriors of Dun Country were soon all injured, knocked to the ground by Broly; even Algana, who had been stacking buffs at the edge, experienced the mechanical charm that force is mutual after she finished stacking the Black Heavenly Woman buff that raises offense and lowers defense.

Algana threw a punch; Broly still chose to meet it fist-to-fist, and the result was that half of Broly's body was driven into the ground by her punch, but aside from his fist going a bit numb, nothing else happened.

As for Algana, her entire arm twisted, the flesh and blood on it blurred into one piece, as if it had been repeatedly crushed by a heavy weight — truly a case of damage to enemy minus one, self-damage minus ten thousand.

Yet faced with her own children all defeated, most severely injured, the Goddess Kali applauded.

"Truly a bloody battle. Broly, you let me see a splendid trampling. Before you said you could not understand my pursuit of blood and slaughter, but now it seems you understand it quite well, don't you?"

Divine light radiated from Kali's eyes; with her God's Eye opened, she could clearly see the shape of the Saiyan boy's soul below.

The bloody color saturating it was denser than that of any Lower World child she had ever seen — absolutely a guy who had killed many lives.

A thousand people see a thousand Hamlets; likewise, the soul condition of a child differs in the eyes of different gods.

Like Hestia, whose authority includes giving the homeless a final place to belong — she could see the hollow, nowhere-to-return part inside Broly's soul.

And Freya, who single-mindedly pursues love, could see love's final posture — the colors of happiness left in Broly's soul by his other wives.

As for Kali, who reveres blood and slaughter, what she sees is the slaughter and blood part. Although Broly never did what normal Saiyans do — conquer planets, slaughter an entire planet's life — along his journey, whether intentionally or not, many lives have still died by his hand.

And this is a quantity of slaughter no one in the Reverse World can match; Kali is currently intoxicated by his soul stained with the colors of bloody slaughter.

"On you, I seem to see the ultimate slaughter warrior I want to see. The only slight pity is that you actually didn't kill my children present. If the current scene could be a bit more miserable — yes, using the children's blood and lives as embellishment — that would undoubtedly be…"

Kali's excited words were not yet finished when Broly jumped straight in front of her.

"Eh, what are you doing?"

Kali was pinned face-down across the Saiyan boy's lap.

"I am, of course, telling you this brat goddess that I fundamentally cannot understand your so-called pursuit of bloody slaughter!"

Broly raised his palm, and the next moment brought it down hard.

*Slap~*

Just one slap, and Kali's entire small body tensed up completely.

"Ah, it hurts! I am a great god, yet you dare spank my butt?"

"I'm just letting you feel a portion of the pain mortals feel in bloody slaughter. That's all it takes and you can't take it, yet you still pursue blood and slaughter?"

"Uh…"

"Properly feel the pain that what you pursue brings to others, you great goddess you~"

Broly's slaps fell without mercy, each strike making the little goddess on his knees feel pain to the maximum degree.

The still-conscious Amazonesses stared dumbfounded at the scene of their own goddess being beaten, while Kali went from initially insisting her pursuit was fine to now begging for mercy.

"Wah, I know I was wrong, stop hitting me! If you keep hitting, my butt is going to break…"

"Then will you still run death matches, making your own children kill each other?"

"No more, no more! Unless they're willing themselves, I won't force them to slaughter each other for me to watch anymore…"

"What about an apology?"

"I'm sorry."

"Not to me, but to Tiona, Tione, and the other people who suffered pain because of your twisted hobby!"

"I-I'm sorry…"

Tione, apologized to by her former master: "…"

Other Amazonesses, severely injured but apologized to by their Main God: "…"

Tiona, on the other hand, calmly accepted Kali's apology.

"Okay, little Kali, I forgive you. From now on, you must not do such excessive things as forcing others into death matches again!"

"Mhm."

One dares to speak, one dares to acknowledge.

Kali's dignity as a god is practically nonexistent.

Meanwhile, Ais, who was investigating the special powder incident alongside her Main God, also encountered an attack by a giant Toad Person.

"That bastard Furini, clearly abusing public office for private gain — to hell with lowering the Freya Familia's vigilance…"

Aisha cursed continuously; clearly the Loki Familia hadn't gone to interfere with the Kali Familia's death match, so they could have completely avoided conflict with the Loki Familia.

But the result: that bastard Furini directly had Chunji use the Mallet of Ten Thousand Treasures on herself, temporarily raising her level, and ran out to ambush the Sword Princess.

This is clearly because she was defeated by the Sword Princess before, harbors unwillingness, and wants to seize the chance for revenge.

If she could revenge successfully it would be one thing, but damn it, after a temporary level boost and even taking the advantage of a sneak attack, she's now been sliced into a dog by the Sword Princess — what is this supposed to be?

"Retreat, retreat!"

Smoke bombs were thrown in large numbers, Flame Stones were also thrown as rear guard; clearly they could have left leisurely, but now they're scrambling, carrying their useless regiment leader as they flee.

When the smoke cleared, looking at the street littered with wreckage, Ais tilted her head: "What did they come for?"

"Probably to stop us from continuing to investigate the special powder. Too bad my Ais-chan is too amazing, hmph, a bunch of overreaching guys who came to make fools of themselves."

Ais raised a hand to block Loki, who tried to hug her.

"Too bad we couldn't keep that guy Furini; otherwise we could have taken her to the Ishtar Familia and faced them in court."
