Chapter 815: I want to tell Orario's people some harder truths (fist)

"The Ikaros Familia has been arrested; will they confess and implicate us?"

"It's over, it's over. I heard they bought a large quantity of Flame Stones this time, intending to blow up most of the Daedalus District. If the interrogation reveals that this batch of Flame Stones was secretly transported by our alliance, we're all finished."

"This isn't our business, is it? Someone came to buy our goods; we couldn't possibly refuse to sell, right? At most, we just didn't realize the buyer was a remnant of the Dark Faction. Besides, this deal was brokered by that Excellency."

"Hah, let's see if the Guild will listen to your explanation."

"Damn it, we have to flee before this is exposed."

"Ah, all my assets are in Orario; this time we've suffered a huge loss—"

North Main Street, inside a luxurious manor, a group of merchants were holding an emergency meeting.

The news of the arrest of the Ikaros Familia and the remnants of the Dark Faction struck like a bolt from the blue, leaving the merchants here with faces full of despair one by one.

This matter has blown up too much. Once the Guild discovers they were transporting Flame Stones for the remnants of the Dark Faction, they will likely face a devastating blow.

Just as someone wanted to turn themselves in and someone wanted to pack up and flee, a masked deity arrived here.

Dionysus used these people's reluctance to give up their foundations in Orario to spur them into action again. A wave of public opinion targeting the Heretic to stir up the current situation was whipped up in a very short time.

When Broly woke up the next day, he found a large crowd gathered at the entrance of his Hearth Manor, with the Heretic facing off against a group of people outside.

"Who are you? Blocking the door here, what do you want to do?"

Broly frowned and walked out, directly asking the leader.

"Mr. Broly, we are ordinary people of Orario. We can no longer tolerate the monsters in the Dungeon wreaking havoc in the city. We came here to ask Mr. Broly to clear out the monsters in your headquarters."

Broly had a black face with question marks and said: "Heretic has nothing to do with the monsters causing destruction in the city recently."

"Mr. Broly, please don't hide the truth for these monsters. We already know the truth the Guild wants to hide. Among the frenzied monsters appearing in the city recently and causing destruction, there is the existence of Heretic—"

Broly frowned. What the other party said was true, but shouldn't these matters have been suppressed already?

"Not good, Broly. The matter of Heretic attacking monsters has already been spread."

He was about to say something when the communication magic stone in his pocket moved. After connecting, a mature woman's voice came from the other side after Fels recovered his human form.

"Mm, I know about this. Our Hearth Manor side has been blocked at the door by a group of people."

, "?"

Fels was stunned and quickly said: "Control Heretic's emotions on your side. Don't let them clash with the people blocking the door."

"Okay, I know."

"Also, Lord Uranus, I would like to ask you to come to the Guild side to discuss the matter of Heretic."

Broly ended the communication and looked at the man opposite who had a 【As Expected】 expression.

"The Guild hasn't hidden anything. The matter of Heretic being among the attacking monsters has hidden circumstances. Those Heretics were controlled by a Curse."

Broly seriously gave an explanation.

"Hah, just because you say they were controlled means they were controlled?"

However, after hearing his explanation, someone in the crowd soon said such words.

Broly glanced at the crowd and directly locked onto the person speaking.

His figure flashed, and he rushed into the crowd outside, grabbing the speaker.

"Slap slap—"

Broly impolitely slapped this guy's face twice, knocking out two of his teeth, before asking: "I said they were controlled. Do you want to question me?"

The person who was beaten was somewhat stunned by the beating. His whole face quickly swelled and went numb. After being a lackey for so long, it was the first time he met a guy who didn't waste words and just grabbed people to beat them.

"We are just ordinary people, yet you beat us for monsters. Are you in league with the monsters destroying the city—"

In the crowd, someone else spoke up. Broly jumped into the crowd again and precisely grabbed the person speaking.

Without wasting words, he grabbed the other person's head with one hand and slammed it against the iron bars of his headquarters. After smashing the other person's head bloody, he said: "Speak. Who sent you?"

"Ugh—"

"If you don't speak, I'll crush your bones."

"Crack—"

"Ah—"

"To prove I'm not joking with you, I'll first crush the bones of one of your shoulders."

The group blocking Hearth Manor watched as the Saiyan boy crushed a person's shoulder bone as easily as crushing tofu. Suddenly they remembered his reputation, and the violent live broadcast scene of him beating up the Goddess Ishtar before.

Under the excruciating pain, and with his other shoulder bone being grabbed, the blood-covered man dared not hide anything. Crying bitterly, he explained everything like pouring beans from a bamboo tube: someone had given him money before coming to incite the crowd to target Heretic.

"I don't know who gave the money. Please, Lord Tyrant, spare me—"

Broly didn't kill this person. Instead, he had Reed take a rope and hang this person at his own front door.

"Alright, the matter is clear. Someone incited you. You can all disperse now."

"The guys who caused the monster disaster were already caught by us yesterday."

"On the Guild's side, there should be an official announcement today."

"You will receive news soon. It will explain the matter of the Curse."

Broly clapped his hands, showed a kind expression to the crowd, and gently persuaded this group of door-blockers to disperse.

The guy with blood on his face and blood on his hands, yet smiling at them so cheerfully—

The crowd surrounding Hearth Manor had someone moving their lips, but no sound came out.

Facing a Heretic who wouldn't harm them, these people could talk big.

But facing a Saiyan who would smile while crushing a person's shoulder bone without a care, these people dared not say a single harsh word.

The crowd gradually dispersed.

Broly stopped the man who wanted to sneak away with the crowd, the man whose teeth he had knocked out a few just now.

"You, stand here. Later, explain this person's situation to those passing by."

Broly pointed at the man hanging there and spoke.

"I'm going to the Guild for a bit. If I come back and find my front door blocked, I'll twist your heads off your necks."

"Yes, Lord Tyrant————"

The blood-covered man's body trembled, and he gave an affirmative reply through leaking teeth.

"Reed, if these two try to run, just kill them directly."

Broly looked at the lizardman again and gave an order.

"Uh, Mr. Broly, is this okay? Didn't Fels tell us not to clash with the crowd?"

"But hasn't the crowd already dispersed?"

Leaving Hearth Manor, Broly quickly arrived at the Guild. The Guild was likewise blocked at the door, just like when the Poor God Penia led the parade to block the door before.

Only this time, the paraders were dressed better, clearly distinct from the poor of Daedalus Street — they were residents of other streets, and they were likewise shouting slogans to drive away monsters, drive away the heretic.

This group blocked the Guild tight as a drum. Broly patrolled a circle, but due to the excessive numbers, he couldn't distinguish which were paid agitators. He frowned slightly, then jumped up, stepping on some people's heads, and ran into the Guild Headquarters.

"Broly, you're here. Lord Uranus is waiting for you."

Eina led him to the Underground Altar.

"This siege, there's still someone stirring trouble behind the scenes."

Upon seeing Uranus, Broly spoke directly.

"Yes, no need to doubt that. The Ganesha Familia has already interrogated some information from the guys caught yesterday — about the ones transporting large amounts of Flame Stone to them, and a god named Enio manipulating everything in the dark. Those people are afraid of being investigated, so they want to use the heretic matter to disperse the Guild's attention."

"Lord Uranus, then what is your intention here?"

"Because of the previous situation where those people controlled monsters to cause trouble, now in Orario, whether adventurers or ordinary residents, all are very sensitive to monsters and opposition is intense.

So, I want the heretic to temporarily return to the Dungeon to avoid the limelight, wait for the storm to settle, then see about coming out."

"Catch all the troublemakers behind the scenes, execute them publicly, then explain the situation to all the people of Orario — is there no way to settle this storm?"

Broly frowned and asked.

"No way. The essence of this storm is that Orario's populace has generated a panic psychology toward monsters. As for who the culprit manufacturing this panic is, and what the reason is, once the panic has been manufactured, it's no longer important. And as long as the fear of monsters in people's hearts cannot be eliminated, the storm of rejecting monsters, rejecting the heretic, will not subside."

Fels spoke from the side, and before Broly arrived, the Guild announcement explaining the situation had already been released, but the crowd outside the Guild still hadn't dispersed — that is the best proof.

The atmosphere of panic, plus the rumor of the Guild sheltering the troublemaking heretic monster, has caused the Guild's public credibility among Orario's people to decrease.

"Public sentiment cannot be defied. For now, the best plan is to temporarily avoid the edge, wait for time to wash clean the atmosphere of panic, then let the heretic show their face — not too late."

Uranus said.

He believed one implies two; since the surface children have already accepted the heretic once, then afterwards they definitely can accept a second time.

And as long as all those troublemakers hiding in the dark in Orario are cleaned up, the future of humans and monsters coexisting can be realized.

What is needed now is some time and patience.

"Since Lord Uranus here already has a plan, why call me over?"

"The current situation will inevitably have people attacking the heretic. The Guild plans to hire your squad again to escort the heretic back to the Dungeon."

Uranus stated the reason for calling Broly, and this Creator God thought the Saiyan youth would agree directly, but unexpectedly heard a refusal from Broly's mouth.

"My apologies, Lord Uranus, I do not intend to send the heretic back to the Dungeon."

"What do you mean?"

"I mean, let them stay on the surface."

"Broly, didn't you hear clearly the situation I just told you?"

"I heard clearly. But I did so much for the heretic so that Vini could live happily on the surface, not to let her and the other heretics slink back to the Dungeon."

"If it's just one heretic, an exception can be made————"

"No, you don't understand my meaning. If only Vini the heretic lives on the surface, she'll feel lonely. That is the reason I helped the other heretics leave the Dungeon."

"But the current situation————"

"Only represents that you Guild are incompetent. And your Guild's incompetence doesn't represent my incompetence. The storm the Guild can't calm, I'll calm. I'll use my own way to solve the problem at hand."

Uranus's words weren't finished before being rudely interrupted by Broly.

"Then what do you plan to do?"

The Main God on the altar frowned, looking at the somewhat murderous Saiyan youth, and couldn't help but ask.

"Have a little chat with all people in Orario who want to reject the heretic, about my hard logic."

Broly pinched his fist and answered.

"You plan to use force to make everyone surrender?"

"Yes, does Lord Uranus have an objection?"

"If this causes massive turmoil, the Guild may stand on your opposite side."

"I'll try to minimize the appearance of turmoil, but this needs the Guild's cooperation."

"How do you want to do it?"

"I want to launch a War Game."

"Against whom?"

"All people who stand up to reject the heretic."

The storm of rejecting the heretic had just risen, when a piece of news that would stir an even greater storm was released by the Guild: the third War Game appears. The Hestia Familia's Regiment Commander clearly stands with the heretic, declaring war on all who reject the heretic.

"In this War Game, anyone who opposes the heretic can stand on my opposite side. I will guarantee your life safety in this War Game————

The victor will decide the heretic's stay or departure in Orario. If I win, I hope Orario's everyone can accept the heretic from their true heart. If I lose, the heretic's stay or departure will be decided by you————

Of course, ugly words said upfront: if those opposing the heretic don't participate in this War Game, and after the War Game ends with my side victorious, they still want to stand out and perform acts of rejecting the heretic in Orario, then don't blame me for killing them."

888

On the Divine Power Live Screen, Broly raised his leg and kicked the man awaiting execution before him to pieces with a single kick.

The man burst apart, instantly turning into a blood mist; the scene made it seem as though the Orario residents watching could smell the thick blood scent in the air.

Shakti, Captain of the Ganesha Familia, and Royman, Guild Master, walked over and, before the Divine Power Screen's lens, explained that this War Game had received the recognition of the Guild and the Urban Gendarmerie.

The War Game's win/loss would truly be able to determine Orario's future strategy toward Heretics, and would be written into Orario's laws in legal form.

The essence of authority is the obedience of others; there can be many reasons for obedience, but violence is the greatest, most authoritative one.

Of course, normally speaking, armed confrontation caused by differing opinions often brings massive turmoil to society.

However, Orario has the tradition of War Games, which can minimize the turmoil caused by such armed confrontation.

The gods began to revel because of the Third War Game's appearance, while Orario's residents shut their mouths because of the pure armed confrontation game about to unfold.

Broly didn't engage in mouth cannon with this group at all; he only told them one thing: I stand with the Heretics. If you're unconvinced, come at me. Lose and obey obediently. Those who lose and still refuse to obey — kill them all, and that's the kind where the Guild and Urban Gendarmerie help kill together.

"Hey hey hey, brothers, I'm back again. This time, I'm going all in on the Urban Coalition winning."

"Come on, you lost both times in the previous two War Games. Why not bet on the Tyrant of Extreme Desire winning?"

"Heh, where is there a child who cries every day? Where is there a gambler who loses every day?

No matter how strong that Tyrant of Extreme Desire guy is, he can't possibly be a match for all of Orario's Adventurers and citizens, right?

Don't forget, our Orario has two Top-tier Familias————"

Just as a gambler in the casino went all in, someone ran in shouting: "Big news, Loki Familia's Brave Finn has announced he will not participate in this War Game."

"Uh————"

Everyone looked at the gambler who had just gone all in betting on the Tyrant of Extreme Desire losing.

"Haha, don't panic. We still have the Freya Familia. The Mighty Ones of the Freya Familia are our Orario's strongest bulwark."

"Latest news on the Freya Familia: the Tyrant of Extreme Desire previously defeated all their Combat Members, including the Mighty Ones. They also won't participate in this War Game. Word is, they don't want to get beaten up for no reason."

"Thud~"

The gambler who had bet his entire principal rolled his eyes and fell asleep looking up.

"Come on, both Top-tier Familias aren't participating in the War Game. The Freya Familia hasn't even denied the news of the Mighty One's defeat. What are we supposed to use to fight the Tyrant of Extreme Desire?"

"Yeah, might as well just rule the other side the winner directly."

"Don't be afraid. We still have a chance."

"Where's the chance?"

"Rakia Kingdom. Lord Ares's Army — aren't they coming to attack Orario again recently? We'll ask his great army to act. Magic Swords, Magic Stone Cannons, and other weapons and armaments — our side has plenty!"
