Chapter 814: The Denunciation Letter and the Mole

【Vini, Happiness Value decreasing.】

The Crystal Palace Panel gave out a piece of bad news.

「Vini, what did you encounter outside? 」

Broly asked Little Dragon Girl.

「Nothing. 」

Vini subconsciously denied it.

「Someone threw rotten vegetable leaves and stinky eggs at us. 」

A heretic named Ret, who looked like a goblin, directly tattled.

「What, you damn monsters, do you still want to openly kill us surface people inside the city? 」

The goblin raised his voice and repeated verbatim the mean and harassing words of the person who led the throwing of rotten vegetable leaves and stinky eggs.

「Did you not fight back? 」

「No. 」

Ret hurriedly shook his head.

「We were afraid of bringing you trouble. 」

Lei added from the side.

「You should have beaten those people up. 」

「? 」

「Isn't it said that you can't hurt people? 」

「The premise of not hurting others is that others don't hurt you either.

If others are going to hurt you, then you don't have to be polite either. 」

「But this will surely bring trouble and annoyance to Mr. Broly, right? 」

「My biggest trouble and annoyance right now is that Vini has been made depressed by this kind of thing. 」

Broly reached out and scooped the little one into his arms, then began stroking her head of soft hair.

「Broly, I'm fine, I can actually understand the feelings of those who threw vegetable leaves; their homes were destroyed by monsters, and some people were even hurt by monsters——」

Little Dragon Girl leaned against the youth's arms, and her mood had improved quite a bit.

「It's all the fault of those despicable poachers. 」

Heretics like Ret were comparatively reasonable and did not resent the increasingly hostile attitude of Orario's ordinary people toward them now, knowing it was the fault of those poachers who controlled monsters to cause trouble everywhere.

If it weren't for those troublemakers, the life of these heretics on the surface might now be like that of ordinary surface people.

Ret could still remember that when he previously went out with money to shop and buy things, the shopkeeper whose son had died as an adventurer in the Dungeon had even given them extra food.

At that time, others' attitude toward them heretics was really good, but now when they went out again, the same shopkeeper only said sorry and then chose not to do business with them heretics.

「Hmm——」

Broly pondered a bit; he actually also knew the reason things had become like this. He could rely on staging a play of a monster saving people to win the recognition and sympathy of Orario residents toward heretics, and similarly, others could rely on releasing monsters to cause trouble to make Orario residents produce rejection psychology toward heretics.

And wanting to strike those troublemakers, the other side was like rats, either hiding in the sewers playing guerrilla, or disguising as ordinary people mixing into Orario's normal crowds; without enemy identification, they simply didn't know where the people were.

【If my current Ki Sense could spread out several kilometers and envelop the entire district, that would be great——】

Broly began to miss his original Ki Sense, which could originally envelop an entire city, or even an entire planet.

That kind of perception was like having a Life Detector, able to directly ignore the cover of complex terrain, leaving rats hiding in the dark nowhere to escape.

Pity, the development ability【Ki Control S】could not continue to be raised, so his current Ki Sense range did not exceed 50 meters, and once beyond that it would become blurry.

Broly looked toward the Loli Goddess; just as he was preparing to say he would end the overload training, recover his original Ki Sense range, and go catch those rats causing trouble in the dark, the Fox Person girl quickly walked in.

「Mr. Broly, I found this letter addressed to you in the mailbox outside. 」

「A letter for me? 」

Broly was somewhat puzzled; all his acquaintances in this world were in Orario.

If there was something to find him for, they could just say it to his face; why bother writing him a letter.

However, he still accepted the letter Chunji handed over.

「Broly, who wrote to you, it wouldn't be a love letter, right? 」

Hestia asked somewhat curiously.

「Not a love letter. 」

Broly denied this claim.

「Rather, it is an anonymous denunciation letter, but it denounces the traces of those people who are controlling monsters to cause trouble everywhere in the dark in Orario, as well as their next actions.

「? 」

Broly put the letter on the table; the Encounter Targets and External Wives around him then curiously leaned over to look at the content of the letter.

And inside it clearly wrote the identities of the troublemakers, as well as the conspiracy plan they were preparing to implement afterward, which was to lure the people of the three major Familias who were tracking and surrounding them into the sewers of Daedalus Street, and then detonate the Flame Stones buried all over the surface of Daedalus Street, wanting to use the collapse of more than half of Daedalus District's buildings to completely bury those people inside the sewers.

More than half the district collapsing, countless buildings smashing down head and face; even High-Level Adventurers facing this situation would have to drink a pot, let alone the ordinary people caught up in it; even if on the surface, once caught up in it, it would absolutely be nine deaths and one life.

「Damn it, those Dark Faction bastards want to bury more than half of Daedalus Street; we must stop them. 」

Riri directly stood up; involving the Dark Faction, this Justice Elf could not stay calm.

「I'll go find my sister and have her evacuate the residents of Daedalus Street. 」

Adi also stood up.

「Wait, we don't know if the letter's content is true or false; maybe the purpose of the person who sent this letter is to make our side throw our ranks into disorder, thereby creating a chaotic situation to fish in troubled waters. 」

「Then what if it's true? 」

「If it's true, we also can't go with great fanfare to evacuate the residents of Daedalus Street; that would easily scare the snake by beating the grass, and if those people directly detonate the Flame Stones in advance, it would be terrible. 」

「Then what should we do? 」

Adi looked at Daphne, wanting this former Apollo Familia strategist to offer some ideas.

"Investigate secretly, first confirm the authenticity of the letter's contents. If it's real, then we have to dismantle those buried Flame Stones first."

A denunciation letter of unknown authenticity was sent to the Hearth Manor side. Broly's side quickly contacted the Ganesha Familia and the Loki Familia. The Ganesha Familia quickly dispatched people disguised as normal Daedalus Street residents to enter Daedalus Street and conduct a hidden investigation.

And they soon confirmed the authenticity of the denunciation letter. At the hidden locations marked in various places on Daedalus Street, they discovered Flame Stones that had already been buried.

"If they all detonate, more than half of Daedalus Street will collapse. A large number of people will die because of the ground subsidence. Those damn Dark Faction bastards, just what do they treat life as————"

Shakti smashed a fist onto the table in front of her. Even with Resurrection Magic, it's impossible to resurrect this many dead people.

(She, who did not know of the Dragon Talisman's existence, thought this way.)

"What's relatively fortunate is that someone tipped off Broly in advance, denouncing that group of villains' scheme?"

The Hero Finn said.

"Don't know who it is either?"

Lefiya was somewhat curious about the sender's identity.

"Since it's a letter sent to Broly, then it's definitely someone acquainted with Broly."

The Nine Magic Princesses said.

"Wait, but if they know Mr. Broly, then why would they still hide their own identity?"

"Because the other party knows that group's situation, and could know intelligence that even we, who are pursuing that group, don't know. This represents that the other party is very likely a member of that group."

"But if the informant is a member of the Dark Faction, then why would the other party do something like denouncing their own side's scheme?"

"Maybe their conscience isn't entirely extinguished, or maybe they're friends with Broly?"

Lefiya stated a possibility.

"Of course, it's also possible it's a trap."

Ryu stated another possibility.

"Regardless of whether it's a trap or not, we dismantle the Flame Stones on the surface first, then go deal with those Dark Faction remnants underground."

Time quickly arrived at evening. The labyrinthine Daedalus Street began to rise with cooking smoke, and the aroma of food drifted in the air.

Revis stood up in the sewer. The time to execute the monster release plan was fast approaching, and she was responsible for the South Side sewer area.

【Release monsters to go outside and rampage. Afterwards, people will definitely come down to investigate. What I have to do is lure the enemy deep inside, and finally, while hiding in the Artificial Labyrinth, detonate the Flame Stones outside, completely burying the enemies who came down to investigate————】

Revis ran through the plan in her mind. Just as she was preparing to order the Ikelos Familia members following behind her to wake the monsters that had been dazed and locked in cages, prepared in the plan as tools for causing chaos, footsteps sounded from the sewer turn.

The Daedalus Street sewer system is complex, but those footsteps seemed to know their hiding position. The sound approached straight toward this side.

【Our tracks have been discovered. Someone tracked us here?】

Revis looked back at the group behind her, but couldn't say anything. With this many people moving, it's inevitable some tracks would be exposed.

【Fortunately, judging by the footsteps, there's only one person. And a tracker who lets their footsteps be heard can only be said to be a newbie. At a time like this, just kill them directly————】

Light appeared at the corner. Broly, holding a Magic Stone Lamp, turned from the sewer corner. And upon seeing the group hiding in the sewer dark passage holding their breath, and the monsters locked in cages behind them that hadn't woken up yet, he showed them a big, beaming smile.

"Looks like it's not a trap. Found you, rats."

The Saiyan boy's smile was very sunny, very brilliant, because he had finally found the bastards who had always been singing a different tune from him, making Vini unhappy.

As for Revis, upon clearly seeing the Saiyan boy's appearance, she felt as if she had fallen into an ice lake.

She, in the sewer dark passage, without any hesitation, turned and ran toward the deeper dark passage behind her, attempting to use the sewer's darkness to conceal her tracks, using the group left behind to buy herself time to escape.

But she hadn't run far before Revis felt a pain in her back. She lowered her head; a hand had already pierced out from her chest.

The Magic Stone Lamp held in Broly's hand swayed. The flickering orange-yellow lamplight cast his and the female monster's shadows onto the sewer dark passage walls.

The female monster's shadow on the wall had its feet off the ground. Its body, because the Magic Stone inside its body had been dug out, began to turn to ash and dissipate.

Lv. 6, Revis, who chose to flee directly upon recognizing Broly at their meeting, was just like that, without even a single exchange, easily wiped out by the Saiyan.

Commotion sounded from behind, but it quickly turned into pained wails. Broly smashed the limbs of a group of rats, but didn't make a move against the monsters locked in cages, still in a comatose state.

And just when things had concluded on his side, the sewer entrance dark passages in the other three directions were also respectively blocked by other people.

"Varetta, last time you escaped from me. This time, we won't give you another chance to run."

Finn, Riveria, Gareth surrounded her. The Dark Faction Commander with whom they had a deep grudge since the Great Feud seven years ago.

"Hah, three of you against one me. Wanting to finish me off certainly isn't a problem, but it'll definitely take a lot of time. And the other directions are currently also preparing to release large numbers of monsters outside to create slaughter. Is it really okay to stall with me like this?"

"That's not something you need to worry about. Other people are handling the other places."

"Vitt, seven years ago, because of your Main God Lord Erebos, you were let go. But didn't expect you'd still return to Orario, and continue doing villainous deeds."

"Ah, Justice Wings Elf, don't mention that bastard Main God who deceived me to me. This time, I only came to raise my own darkness."

Lv. 6 Vitt was formerly the Regiment Commander of the Dark Lord God Erebos's Familia. Because of an innate defect in his own existence — he could only feel the reality of being alive when seeing the blood of those he killed — he stood on the opposite side of Ryu, who represented justice, seven years ago. And now, it is still so.

Yet he engaged in fierce battle with Lv. 4, but with stats already broken limit, Ryu, and Lv. 5, stats also broken limit, Ais.

Seven years passed. Although this person's Level hadn't risen, his combat skills had become much more exquisite. Pity, he faced Orario's Two Winds. He was quickly hacked to pieces, his hamstrings and hand tendons severed, and he fell.

"Ah, another farce of evil not prevailing over justice. The ending of a villain like me really has no novelty at all. However, my blood is actually red too, hahaha. Give me a quick death."

The fallen Vitt laughed loudly, not caring at all about his impending death.

"Your life still has use. Also, Lord Erebos actually still cares about you very much."

Ryu sheathed the wooden sword.

o

"Dikes, the Ganesha Familia Regiment Commander, and the Loki Familia's Great Severing and Fierce Wolf are attacking. Our people can't hold them back."

"No choice. Joesen, detonate the Flame Stones early."

"But if we do that, we'll also get caught up in it."

"Detonate, withdraw inward. We might still be able to use the Artificial Labyrinth to escape. Don't detonate, and it's just us getting unilaterally wiped out by this group."

The bald burly man who had died once not long ago and been revived gritted his teeth and directly pressed the detonation device for the Flame Stones.

However, no explosion appeared, the collapse that should have happened did not appear either, and the sounds of slaughter continued in the sewer, just as if nothing had happened.

"What are you still hesitating for?"

The Violent One, blocking the Great Severing slash that attacked him with his gun raised, roared loudly toward the bald burly man's direction.

"Dikes, I pressed it, but there's no reaction!"

"Surrender now. The Flame Stone traps you guys set up have all been dismantled by us."

Shakti shouted, striking at this group's resistance psychology.

"Damn it, there's actually a traitor among us!"

From four directions, blooming simultaneously, the Ikelos Familia and the Dark Faction remnants' finale plan had not even begun to be conducted before Broly and the others, who had obtained intelligence in advance, directly blocked the door and extinguished all schemes.

Over a hundred people were captured, and hundreds of monsters locked in cages were then awakened from unconsciousness; after distinguishing the heretics inside, the ordinary monsters were solved on the spot.

A disaster was dissipated into nothingness, but things obviously would not end just because the scheme was destroyed; after all, what was thought to be merely an incident of releasing monsters to create panic turned into a situation that nearly blew up half of Daedalus Street, and if the situation inside isn't investigated clearly, who can sleep peacefully?

This night, the Ganesha Familia's regiment commander Shakti was destined to stay up late because of the trial of the captured Dark Faction remnants.

o

On the other side, in a luxurious vineyard, the White Shrine Maiden found her own Main God and directly knelt before her own Main God.

"Lord Dionysus, I am deeply sorry; I have betrayed your trust."

The Male God, who had already learned of the plan's failure, looked at his own child with some puzzlement.

"Firweis, why would you do this?"

"Before there was no opportunity, but now I want to be a good person."

"But if your true face is discovered————"

"Then I will apologize and accept the punishment I should suffer.

Of course, if Lord Dionysus wants to punish me now, I will accept that too."

Firweis lowered her head, and after these days of inner struggle, through Ye En learning of Dikes' Flame Stone plan, this White Shrine Maiden lady made a choice.

She was the one who sent the tip-off letter, the traitor; she destroyed her own Main God's meticulously designed plan, and now she has come to receive punishment.

"Punishment, haha, why would I punish you?"

"?"

"Everything I did was for you, this child, and since you have already made the awareness to be discovered as abnormal and accept the consequences, I will also respect your choice."

However, the expected punishment did not appear; Dionysus forgave her betrayal behavior.

"Lord Dionysus————"

Firweis was somewhat moved; the golden-haired Male God smiled and gently rubbed her head, like an adult tolerating a child who made a mistake.

【The Lower World's children are truly interesting; Firweis's struggle, unexpectedly, could ultimately transform into resolve — is it because she re-obtained others' gentle treatment that she could no longer accept her own continuing evil deeds? ————】

【Ma, although this time he was played a trick by his own child, causing the plan to make the three great Familias suffer losses to fail, the Artificial Labyrinth's existence was also smoothly spread; although the Six Great Spirit Clones stored inside have not yet fully matured, the Heretic matter can still be used to delay for a period of time————
