"Ah, you Kali Familia, you actually used lies to deceive me?"

The captured War God, a face full of grief and indignation.

"Hahaha, who told you, Ares, you guy, to not use your Divine Eye before that to confirm whether the words of my Familia children were true or false?"

Kali stood at the side with hands on hips laughing; before joining Orario, she hadn't felt there was anything fun on this side, but after joining Orario, it gave this god who had always been playing single-player games on the Telskyura side the experience of opening up online multiplayer gaming.

And this time, her children suddenly turned traitor in the War Game, making a huge splash in front of the Gods, making Kali's mood truly pleasant.

"Damn it, a nation-management Familia playing war games, if even lies have to be distinguished with the Divine Eye, then what fun is left in this?"

Ares, bound with ropes, sat squarely on the ground, but he began to defend his own decision not to use the Divine Eye.

These Lower World Gods, when playing in the Lower World, all have their own bottom lines; for example, the Divine Eye can easily distinguish whether a mortal is lying.

However, for Ares, if he directly used the Divine Eye to distinguish lies, the Lower World games would lose the experience of strategy.

So, this God, even in the War Game, and even in daily nation management, would not lightly use the Divine Eye.

"Losing is losing this time; I will have the King of Rakia Kingdom pay the corresponding ransom; I hope you do not kill my Kingdom's soldiers."

War God Ares no longer complained, acting the part of a qualified captive; and since Rakia Kingdom lost in the War Game this time, not even taking actual action to attack Orario, theoretically this group are now Broly's captives.

"The ransom we can forgo, but we need your nation-management Familia to help do a few things."

Hestia brought Broly over and said to Ares on the ground.

"What things?"

War God Ares looked curiously at Hestia; of course, his gaze was mostly still fixed on Broly behind her.

The youth was tall and sturdy, strength abnormally powerful; what a fine battlefield fierce general this is; heaven knows how he ended up following a shut-in Main God like Hestia.

"Very simple; you also know about Xenos; I hope your Kingdom can be like Orario, enact corresponding laws guaranteeing Xenos' rights as intelligent lifeforms, and as much as possible bring this recognition to the sphere of influence of Rakia Kingdom."

Rakia Kingdom's participation was an accident, but their defeat was very meaningful; compared to demanding so-called captive ransom from Rakia Kingdom, better to have these people also acknowledge and accept the Xenos matter, and bring the influence to other places in this world.

This way, perhaps in the future Xenos can carry identification documents and freely move about other places on the surface.

"This is no problem."

Ares and Urius exchanged a glance, directly nodding agreement; this lost battle's ransom would absolutely be an astronomical figure; now merely having their own country acknowledge the existence of intelligent magic beasts and enact laws giving corresponding protection is instead a simple matter.

"However, speaking of which, Hestia, where did you find this kid, he's actually this fierce?"

Although this defeat had the reason of Kali Familia suddenly turning traitor and backstabbing, Ares could see the youth behind the Loli Goddess definitely had not used his full strength; it's possible even if Kali Familia hadn't turned traitor, the other party could have handled his own artillery corps, making him unable to resist asking.

"Hmph hmph hmph, this wasn't me finding him, but this kid actively coming to find me; this is a destined encounter~"

Hearing this, Hestia immediately lifted her chin, saying somewhat smugly.

"Let's negotiate; your family's kid, willing to transfer? If he comes to my side, I'll give him the position of Rakia Kingdom's Grand Marshal."

"Hah, scram; my family's kid, won't transfer to other Familias."

"Everything negotiable; your family's kid has the epithet 【Extreme Desire Tyrant】, right? How about this: if he doesn't become Grand Marshal, I'll have Rakia Kingdom's old King abdicate and yield the throne to him, letting your family's kid become a true monarch of a nation————Ow~"

Ares's words weren't finished when Hestia's flip-flop sole flew over, solidly stamping a shoe-print chapter on this War God's face.

"Then the conditions for letting you go are settled like this; you guys can't fool us; if you fool us, I'll personally visit your Rakia Kingdom's Royal Capital."

"Mr. Broly, please rest assured; this matter I guarantee on my identity as Rakia Kingdom's Prince Urius, will definitely be earnestly carried out."

Broly finished speaking with Urius on this side; Hestia on that side had also already given War God Ares a thorough kicking.

The two walked over; Urius looked at his own Main God on the ground beaten black and blue, a gentle smile appearing on his face, waving goodbye as he lifted the still somewhat angry Saiyan youth of the Loli Goddess.

If he weren't Ares's man, right now he'd want to clap and cheer; what kind of thing is this; his family served Ares-sama wholeheartedly for generations, managed the country, launched wars, yet just now nearly had the throne stripped by their own unreliable Main God; reasonably speaking, he wants to kick the other party a few times too.

0000

The War Game ended; Orario's turmoil regarding Xenos finally had a conclusion.

Just the Xenos turmoil passed, but other matters' turmoil did not.

Ganesha Familia and the Guild finally had time to put their main energy into settling the Flame Stone matter.

"No good, can't stay in Orario; I have to flee."

Merchant Alliance Chairman Simon, on the second day after the War Game ended, from the many unfamiliar personnel tailing him outside his family manor, detected something was wrong.

Fortunately, he knew his side was singing a different tune from the Guild, an accident might happen, so early on he dug a secret passage under the manor, preparing for the day it might be used.

Just a pity; he fundamentally couldn't take away Orario's massive assets, but now he couldn't care about these assets either.

If he didn't leave now, he'd wait to be found with evidence and thoroughly liquidated, person and assets together packaged and cleaned up by the Guild.

"Pack some valuables; we leave tonight."

Simon decided to leave, but only notified a few within the family, including the old butler and some loyal servants and guards, 16 people total; only packed some easy-to-carry treasures and rare medicines; that night they left Orario via the secret passage.

Outside the city, several cars painted black were already waiting.

"Lord Dionysus, trouble you."

Simon boarded the middle carriage and bowed to the blond male god in thanks.

And he was the only one in the Merchant Alliance who knew Enio's real identity.

"Don't say that, Lord Simon; you also fell into this plight because of my matters; it is I who owe you an apology."

Dionysus showed a gentle elegant smile, yet returned a sentence; they themselves were actually a mutually beneficial relationship; the Merchant Alliance handled Magic Stones and monster materials for the Dark Faction on his behalf, while he secretly pushed the plan to overthrow the Guild.

Of course, this plan was the surface one; the real plan was to destroy Orario, but he had not disclosed this to the other party.

As for why the Merchant Alliance represented by Simon wanted to overthrow the Guild, that was naturally for the Magic Stone pricing rights; on Orario's side, the Guild monopolized Magic Stone buying and selling; Adventurers get Magic Stones, keeping for own use or selling to other Familias is fine, but wanting to sell to purchasing merchants is not allowed.

Adventurers' Magic Stones can only be sold to the Guild, then the Guild interfaces with purchasing merchants; because this is a monopoly business, purchasing merchants have no way to bargain before the Guild.

For this point, profit-seeking merchants have long been dissatisfied; even the Dark Tide triggered by the Great Faction War seven years ago, behind it were also indispensable these profit-chasing merchants.

However, although this is mutual use, no one owes the other, but words can't be spoken so bluntly either; after all, Dionysus still needs these people to run far away.

"Your assets and business I cannot openly protect, but your relatives left on Orario's side, I can help secretly watch over.

Wait until later there's a chance to make Orario change, make the Guild fall, when Chairman Simon can return, I promise Orario will have a seat for you.

As for now, please trouble Chairman Simon to go to the Far East to help our cause of overthrowing the Guild, continue to devote yourselves wholeheartedly.

"Well, on the ship I prepared for your departure, I also prepared some treasures for you to use to develop in a new place."

"Lord Dionysus, please rest assured, I will still do my best for you."

Several carriages, under the cover of night, headed toward Port Melen.

In the latter half of the night, they arrived at a secret port.

A sea ship had already been waiting at the secret port.

Simon gave his guarantee, while Dionysus, under the moonlight, watched this group set sail.

"Father, are we just leaving like this?"

After the ship left the port, the heart Simon had been holding finally settled, but his son approached, still somewhat unwilling.

"What can we do? We weren't cautious enough; the manager of the cargo caravan was caught, and our exposure was only a matter of time."

"If we don't leave now, we won't be able to leave later. Fortunately, Lord Enio still values old ties; not only did he send people to help us escape Orario, but he also gave us so many treasures, allowing us to start over in a new place."

Simon said this while his gaze fell on the cargo boxes on the ship.

But when he ordered the cargo boxes opened, what appeared inside was not gold, silver, or jewelry.

"Father, there are no treasures here, but buckets of fire oil."

"Wait, why is there fire oil on the ship? No, that Dionysus fellow—"

Before he could finish, the old chairman's head rolled off.

Ye En descended silently from the spear shaft; with one sword stroke, he beheaded the old chairman.

"Master—"

"Father—"

The guards reacted, but it was useless; facing a Level 7 assassin, these guards, whose highest level was only Level 4, could not resist at all.

Screams rang out, but soon subsided.

Under the moonlight, the sea ship sailing on the dark sea soon burst into fierce flames.

The flames burned all evidence of the slaughter on the ship to ashes.

【Only the dead can keep secrets.】

Although Dionysus could not see the fire burning far from the port, seeing the small face of the elf beside him suddenly turn pale, he knew his child's evil magic clone had already dealt with Simon's group who knew his identity.

000。

By noon the next day, news of Simon's escape reached Shakti, passed out by a Familia member hiding in Brooke's Manor as a spy.

The secret passage hidden in Brooke's Manor was dug out by the city guards using a thorough search method by evening.

But when Shakti followed the secret passage out of Orario to the wilderness outside, and through carriage tracks on the ground realized they were going to take a ship to escape, news came from Port Melen that fishermen had found the wreckage of a ship almost completely burned on the sea more than ten nautical miles from the coastline.

"Now, besides knowing that behind the Dark Faction is a self-proclaimed Urban Destroyer God named Enio, other clues have run dry."

"Miss Shakti, the Ikelos Familia is cooperating with the remnants of the Dark Faction; doesn't their Main God know the true identity of that elusive god?"

"He definitely knows, but the Ikelos God won't say, and we have no way."

"As for the reason, it's because there is a rule in the Lower World: mortals cannot harm gods."

"Just as gods on their side won't easily use their own divine authority to harm us mortals."

The Guild could only banish the offending god from Orario, but could not force a god determined to stand their ground to do something they were unwilling to do.

。。。。

After failing to force information by killing the other side's Familia children, the Guild had no good way to deal with the Ikelos God.

"But, Miss Shakti, didn't Mr. Broly previously beat Lord Ishtar with his fists?"

The fox girl found it strange and asked directly.

"You mean that? It's because Lord Ishtar first used her own Beauty Goddess's charm authority to charm Mr. Broly, and they were in a war game, so even if he was hit, it was his own fault—"

"In other words, under specific conditions, mortals can attack gods in the Lower World, right?"

Broly asked thoughtfully.

"Yes, but it's meaningless; the conditions for being able to act are too harsh, almost requiring the god's own consent."

"And without being able to use divine power, which god would be willing to take a beating from a mortal?"

"Of course, except for certain gods with the M Attribute; if they actively attack mortals, getting beaten is their own fault—"

"But gods can attack gods, right?"

"Lord Ganesha, can't you beat that Lord Ikelos up?"

"Is it possible that our Lord has already beaten him, but the god Ikelos is just too thick-skinned to care?"

"For gods, death is just like sleeping; not caring about being sent back to Heaven, he is indeed an 'invincible' god."

"Then, Miss Shakti, why did you come to see me?"

Broly looked at Adi's sister and asked.

"Let you understand the current case situation, and by the way, ask if you want to go with us to investigate the Artificial Labyrinth Knossos—"

Although the Enio lead is broken, the Artificial Labyrinth lead is not; it's said a large group of Orario outlaws are hiding inside.

Relying solely on the Ganesha Familia's strength, clearing that trap-filled place is still somewhat difficult, and Shakti has been looking for helpers lately.

"By the way, dealing with these villains should be left to us, Justice Wings."

Before Broly could respond, the red-flowered girl pounced over and said.

"Of course, the reward for eliminating villains should be generous, right?"

After being resurrected, upon learning that her group owed Broly at least 5 billion Valis in resurrection fees, Alicia and the others had been discussing how to make money.

Now there was work, so naturally they scrambled to do it, and their former strength was nearly that of Level 5 adventurers.

"Mm, the reward is indispensable."

Shakti nodded, but her gaze fell on the Saiyan boy.

She admitted Alicia and the others' strength was not bad, but the problem was, there was a stronger Helper on this side.

"Mr. Broly, you wouldn't be thinking of making us unable to earn money, unable to pay the bill, and finally having to repay with flesh, all becoming your concubines together, right?"

Broly: "————"

"Miss Shakti, I think I might have gotten injured in the war game and need to rest for a while."

Having said all this, Broly naturally could not possibly steal work from a group of Justice Girls.

"Yay~"

Alicia made a scissors hand gesture toward her little partners.

"As expected of Alicia, she snatched a good commission so fast."

"Actually, I think being Mr. Broly's concubine and being sisters with Liu or something is also quite good."

"Haha, you little slut, thinking about Liu's man again?"

Astraea felt somewhat helpless on the side; although Alicia and the others were girls full of a sense of justice, justice and purity were two different matters.

Sometimes, when these Justice Girls started talking dirty, even she, this Main God adult, could hardly stand it.

Especially after learning that this boy Broly dared to date the Goddess adult, and not just one, these guys could even say things like letting Liu and letting her man give this Goddess adult some meat.
