I love time travel the most!

this is……

"It's all your fault! If I hadn't let you take the boat, how could the desert worms have attacked it? It's all your fault!"

Wait, wait, wait, no way.

He was simply caught in the crossfire.

Worms rely on sound to detect prey, and Kobayashi and Ryuzu couldn't make any loud noises. This meant the giant desert worm was attracted by the moving ship. It wasn't Kobayashi's fault; he was the one who got caught up in it.

Most importantly, it was Freya who stopped the ship, so why not blame the goddess instead of putting the blame on yourself?

Kobayashi was completely speechless.

However, the situation is urgent now, and there is no time to think about whose fault it is. To survive, we must solve the big problem at hand.

Boffman was well aware of this principle.

"Hurry! Turn the boat around—!! Hurry!!!"

Despite biting his tongue, he still managed to give instructions in a hoarse voice.

The pale-faced guards on deck controlled the ship's cannons, preparing to unleash magic to defend against the monster attack, but it was too late.

Some urged those below the boat to start it and escape, but restarting the boat required a slow acceleration, which also meant losing the initiative.

They were caught completely off guard by the monster.

The failure to detect the enemy in time led to the two sides getting too close. The monster will likely soon use its gaping maw to bite through the mast and cut the ship in half.

In such a tense and urgent situation, Kobayashi stepped forward and said calmly:

"—Step down."

"what?"

"Consider it a return gift for letting us board the ship; we'll take care of this giant worm."

"What nonsense are you spouting?!"

This statement did not make Boffman grateful; instead, it made him even more excited, and he even lost his composure in front of the goddess.

His dark face contorted in anger as he screamed, "These are desert worms! And super-sized ones at that! They lurk deep underground, incredibly agile, and with a single roll, they can cause sand to collapse and ships to be submerged! No one can take them out of the desert! No one! Only powerful cannons can..."

Ignoring Boffman's howls as he tried to vent his fear, they watched as the giant worm, its body already erect and its jaws wide open as if hunting prey, seemed poised to bite the ship in two at any moment.

"Liu Zi."

"What are your orders, Lord Kobayashi?"

"This disgusting monster, can I ask you for help?"

"To actually send your servant to deal with such a monster, Lord Kobayashi, is truly asking too much of a question. However, a good servant should perfectly fulfill his master's requests. Please leave it to me, Lord Kobayashi, I will cut it in half."

After saying that, Liu Zi took off the cumbersome cloak.

She has long, shimmering silver hair, a delicate and lovely face, and wears gorgeous gothic clothing, exuding an elegant and aloof demeanor.

The girl immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Although she wasn't as stunning as a goddess, she was still much prettier than any other woman Boffman had ever seen, and a strange light flashed in his small eyes.

"So……"

Liu Zi first bowed in greeting.

Boffman seemed to understand something, and he shouted incredulously, "Wait, wait! You mean you're going to send her to fight the giant worm?! That's just suicide!"

indeed.

The giant worm, with its mouth full of sharp teeth, could swallow a hundred Liu Zi in one gulp if it opened its blood-red maw.

The monster, its body raised high, couldn't wait any longer and lunged forward to bite.

"Don't worry."

At this moment, Kobayashi calmly said, "Although it's a bit late, I'd still like to introduce you all. This is Ryuu-Zi."

Is now the time to make an introduction?!

Just as Boffman was about to unleash a torrent of curses in anger, Ryuji, standing next to Kobayashi, moved, making him mistakenly believe that he was seeing things due to excessive tension.

But that wasn't a final farewell.

As if following Kobayashi's words, the desert worm's head was instantly chopped off.

"Gah—?!"

The monster's screams before its death were drowned out by the sound of blood splattering everywhere. No one saw or heard anything. But by the time everyone came to their senses and saw the giant worm's body sliced ​​across its body, the commotion had already ended.

"…………What?!!!"

Boffman and his crew stopped moving as if time had stood still.

As the giant worm gushed blood, its body slowly collapsed. Unable to withstand the immense size, countless grains of sand trembled, then flew into the air, creating a dust storm, accompanied by a deafening roar.

Only then did everyone belatedly realize that the giant worm was dead.

Kobayashi stood beside Boffman and the others, who were standing there dumbfounded, and with a confident and proud smile, continued to finish what he had just said.

"—She is my proudest waitress and my most trusted companion!"

As she was introduced, Liu Zi gracefully bowed in greeting.

"!!!"

Boffman glanced at the thin but superhumanly strong waiter and Kobayashi, who remained incredibly calm even when facing the monster's attack, and his expression instantly froze.

It seems he has come to realize how rude and rude he had been just now.

If Kobayashi intended to, he could probably wipe out everyone on this ship easily. If that's the case, then their confidence in escaping this desert is probably genuine.

His previous arrogance and hostility vanished instantly, replaced by fear in his eyes, as if he were afraid of doing something to offend the other party and being killed.

Not only Boffman, but everyone else looked at Kobayashi and Ryuji with horrified eyes.

As the atmosphere began to take an awkward turn, Freya broke the ice with a smile and said, "You did a good job."

"Thank you for your praise, Lady Freya. It's just a trivial skill," Kobayashi said modestly, without any arrogance.

"A trivial skill...heh."

The goddess remained noncommittal.

Considering the other party's experience of being hundreds of millions of years old, it is indeed a trivial skill.

Don't underestimate the vision of the gods.

Although the goddess didn't care, it didn't mean others could ignore her. Freya, breaking the deadlock, looked at the trembling and utterly pathetic Poufman and the others, and calmly uttered a single sentence.

"—Let's go."

"Yes, yes! Lady Freya!"

The crew members shuddered as if time had been unfrozen, and quickly obeyed the goddess's will.

The ship then moved away from the monster's carcass and sailed forward along the sandy sea.

Chapter 194 The Doll Girl Worth Hundreds of Millions

The tranquil desert was shattered by the rapidly advancing medium-sized ships, which unearthed many creatures buried beneath. The ships, with their masts raised, used the strong winds to push aside the soft sand and traverse the desert at a much faster pace than before, their frantic escape seemingly aimed at leaving this dangerous place as quickly as possible.

In fact, they had just encountered a major crisis, but then inexplicably escaped and survived.

Their stiff bodies gradually warmed up, and the cold sweat on their backs was replaced by new sweat. However, there was no joy of surviving a disaster, and the people on the ship did not cheer or laugh heartily. They moved back and forth on the ship in an orderly manner, concentrating on controlling the vessel, but unconsciously casting their gazes toward the three people on the deck.

To be precise, it was two people and one god.

—The goddess is watching me.

When Kobayashi realized this, the elven curse mark on his neck emitted a warning that stimulated his skin, bringing him back to his senses. Alarm bells rang in his mind, and he dared not look at it directly.

He didn't know if looking at her again would cause an explosion or melt him, but he knew clearly that if they continued to stare at each other, he would surely become a prisoner of her beauty.

I forcibly looked away, refusing to look into the eyes of the goddess of beauty.

Unexpectedly, his actions only piqued Freya's interest further, her eyes shining even brighter as she peered into his soul through the barriers of his clothes and body, her divine power surging and breaking through his layers of defense.

Just as Kobayashi was about to succumb to temptation, Freya finally stopped.

Upon seeing that the soul enveloped by the extremely pure energy was a chaotic gray, the goddess of beauty let out a barely audible sigh.

For some reason, Kobayashi felt extremely guilty.

That's right. Disappointing the goddess makes one an unforgivable sinner; one should kneel down and offer everything to beg for forgiveness!

Before he could take any action, a cool sensation came from his chest and went straight to his mind. After several washes and a return to clarity, Xiaolin gradually regained himself.

……

hiss----

Kobayashi gasped.

As expected of the goddess of beauty! Just a little bit of her divinity almost captivated him! If it weren't for Aqua's necklace protecting him, he might have already succumbed!

As if sensing something was amiss, Freya slowly withdrew her divinity.

"sorry."

"...You're exaggerating."

Kobayashi was flattered by the goddess's apology.

The other person was a goddess, superior to him in terms of strength, experience, and status, yet she did not act arrogantly or willfully towards him, and even apologized to Xiaolin.

Freya, one of the two strongest Familias in Orario, will apologize to others?

Impossible, absolutely impossible!

If anyone else heard this, they would be absolutely stunned.

"You're quite good." Freya smiled and praised again, "I didn't expect you to be able to destroy that giant worm so easily. Your strength is quite impressive. Thank you for saving this ship."

Kobayashi lowered his head: "You flatter me. Even without Ryuji's intervention, you would not have been harmed in any way."

When Liu Zi beheaded the giant worm with a single strike, eight hostile auras instantly locked onto him and Liu Zi, and Xiao Lin dared not make any rash moves.
