I, the anti-superman, have hacked into the chat group.

"Go back and report this to the Queen. Tell her that someone who appears to be a god has appeared in our territory."

The sea creatures believed that Karl was not human. Someone who could withstand their attacks without any defense would have to be at least one of the best among the superior races. However, Karl's characteristics did not match any of these races, so the most likely conclusion was that he was a god.

……

After leaving the ocean, Carl began flying inland, his next stop being the forest inhabited by the forest elves.

"Hmm, these people are beastmen, right? They look quite disheveled."

As they were about to enter the forest, Karl spotted a group of orcs nearby. The orcs were badly wounded and were desperately trying to escape.

Not the green-skinned kind, but rather orcs that resemble humans in appearance, with furry ears and tails, making them more in line with popular aesthetics.

In this world, although the ultimate goal of war is the Star Grail, some races have long understood that they have virtually no chance of winning. They are already doing well if they can survive the war. The Orcs are one of them.

Orcs possess great physical abilities, but they are still mortals. Even the best among them, who can walk on air with their bare bodies, cannot gain any advantage on the battlefield because they have almost no elven adaptability.

Physical strength is more convenient than magic, but without a qualitative change, the orcs' advantage is only that they are better at tasks like infiltration; the great battlefield is ultimately still the stage for elven magic.

They came to gather intelligence, but the forest elves wouldn't let them off easily. A powerful beam of light rose from the forest, spun in the air, and shot straight toward the orcs.

Even if the orcs were unharmed, let alone if they were already injured, they still wouldn't be able to escape the tracking magic.

"Forget it, I'll just block it while I'm at it. Anyway, this stupid battle is almost over."

Karl used his thermal vision to intercept the beam. Now that he had decided to interfere with the course of this world, regardless of whether he could ultimately obtain the Star Cup, this war that had lasted for ten thousand years would definitely end, and no one would need to sacrifice for it anymore.

At this moment, in a secret chamber filled with magic, the forest elf Sinkenilbaran frowned as he looked at the magic circle in front of him: "What's going on? It didn't hit the target. My magic failed. Those orcs couldn't possibly have this ability!"

Unable to figure it out, Sink prepared to draw another detection array to observe the situation outside the forest. However, at that moment, she suddenly noticed something strange behind her.

"Who are you? How did you get in... uh..." Sink immediately turned around and questioned the newcomer, but she stopped abruptly halfway through her question.

Because she saw that the other party had barged in directly through the front door, and the magic circle she had carefully set up there had been smashed open, leaving a large hole.

“You can call me Superman,” Carl introduced himself.

“Never heard of her, don’t know her.” Sink was certain he had never heard of this name before, so he said, “Let me rephrase my question: What is your purpose in coming here to find me, Nina Clyver?”

Karl keenly noticed that the other person was secretly making some subtle movements while speaking, but he didn't point it out. Instead, he continued, "I'm here to make a deal with you?"

"A deal?" Sink laughed. "A deal requires mutual consent. How can you just smash someone's door and then come to negotiate? Speaking of which, you weren't the one who sabotaged the attack on the orcs just now, were you?"

Carl nodded silently.

Sink continued, "Forget it, I won't dwell on that. You said you wanted to make a deal, so what are your bargaining chips?"

"Let me think about the stakes. How about I help you take down the Forest God Kainas?" Karl said casually.

Sink immediately revealed an extremely angry expression, her high chest trembling as a result. She was wearing very little clothing, making one wonder if she might accidentally expose herself if she moved too much.

"You bastard, do you know what you're saying? To threaten a forest elf with killing her god, even if it's just nonsense, is unforgivable!"

Sink looked like he could explode at any moment, but Carl knew that she was just putting on an act. A thousand words are not as effective as a single action. The fact that she didn't make a move on the spot already revealed her true intentions.

"Is it that serious? It seems that besides creating you, the Forest God hasn't done anything else, but instead has made you fight endlessly. It would be better if the Forest Elves could become the Forest God," Karl said.

"You...you..." Sink seemed so angry that he couldn't even speak properly. He changed his tone several times before continuing, "You're right."

"Regardless of the final outcome of the final battle, even if we win, we still have to give the final prize to God. It's really a bit unpleasant to think about."

"So you've agreed to the deal?"

"Heh." Sink covered his mouth and chuckled, "If you can really do it, this condition is indeed not bad... But if you are really confident in killing God, then why bother making a deal with me!"

hum-

After Sink finished speaking, the entire room was covered with fine magic runes, and a huge amount of elven magic surged within it.

"By the way, forest elves are very vengeful; they won't let the matter of smashing my door go so easily!"

Boom! Karl was completely engulfed by various beams of light, looking like a giant energy cocoon from the outside.

Sink looked at the energy cocoon and relaxed. She had planned to continue the conversation if Karl could have discovered her setup in advance or avoided the trap, but that wasn't possible now, because no one could survive inside.

“I know the idea of ​​holding grudges originated from your Nirbalian family.”

Just as Sink was thinking that, a voice suddenly came from inside the energy cocoon.

"How is this possible..."

“You’re right about one thing. Since I said I was going to deal with God, I should naturally show more sincerity.”

The energy beams in the room gradually stopped. It wasn't that Karl did anything; it was simply that the energy within the magic circle had run out.

"It's alright, but it's still a bit inferior to the pseudo-Yan Dragon Roar."

After the attack stopped, Sink saw Karl completely unharmed, not even his clothes were disheveled.

“Consider this my apology for damaging the door. Now we can continue our talk,” Carl said, spreading his hands.

Sink nodded blankly.

"...Okay, deal's done. So what do you want from me?"

Karl made his request: "Spells, I need to see all kinds of spells. Power doesn't matter, the key is that there must be many different kinds."

After leaving the sea creatures, Karl came to the conclusion that although his body was affected by the elven magic of this world, he could control his body more precisely to counteract this effect.

For example, by controlling the brain, one can counteract the allure of marine species, thus becoming immune to underhanded tactics.

However, there is a small problem: most of the time, the physical changes caused by magic are too minor, so minor that he needs to devote a lot of attention to detect where he has been affected, which is very inconvenient.

To solve this problem, Karl came up with the idea of ​​practicing in advance. If he could become familiar with most of the magic beforehand, he could immediately identify which area was affected and take immediate action to counteract it, even when time was tight.

Chapter 263 The Spiders

The Forest Elves are the race most skilled in magic, and the only race besides the Gods who can use multiple spells. Sink is the most talented mage among the Forest Elves, and the only one who can use eight spells.

"By the way, how did you know my real surname?" Sink asked as she prepared her magic in another secret room after they entered.

“I can hear it. I can hear most of the sounds in the world,” Karl replied.

"So, you're also a divine being."

The gods in this world are all the embodiment of a certain concept. The concept is given a divine essence, and then activated, and that is a god.

Sink took Carl's "ability to hear" as some kind of power, rather than simply hearing, and even began to silently speculate about which concept Carl was the embodiment of.

Carl said, "I'm not, but this is not important and will not affect our cooperation."

"Okay, let's begin."

Sink had no intention of delving deeper, and after Karl demonstrated his strength, even without deliberately emphasizing it, he held the initiative in their conversation. Since Karl didn't speak, Sink couldn't just ask casually.

"I'll confirm one more time, are you sure you want me to attack you with every kind of magic?" Sink asked, bewildered.

“That’s right, the more variety the better, that’s what you need to do,” Carl nodded.

“I understand, but there’s still something I don’t quite understand. Although I’m a genius, I have to admit that Sen Shen is the strongest in magic. At least for now, I can’t compare to him. Why don’t you just choose to cooperate with him?”

Sink was quite self-aware. Since she could use the Eightfold Technique, the Forest God, who had lived for so long, must be able to use even more. For Karl, he should be a better partner.

“No, you are the most suitable. I know what you’re saying, but this is the conclusion I’ve reached after considering many factors,” Carl said.

Sink is right. The Forest God's magical skill is indeed much stronger than hers. She is a super genius who can use eight layers of spells, which is a rare occurrence in a thousand years. However, the Forest God Kainas can only use one hundred and sixty-eight layers of spells. That is the difference.

But Karl's goal wasn't to learn magic; he just wanted to know how to deal with it. Magic was still his weakness, and if he went to the Forest God, what if he accidentally got too deeply affected by magic? In that case, the Forest God certainly wouldn't choose to simply cancel the magic and wait for him to recover. So it was better to go to Sink.

Everything should be done step by step. Karl plans to first thoroughly understand the magic here in Sink before going to find Kainas.

However, the other party is a high and mighty deity, making communication difficult. Moreover, their goal is also the Star Grail, which makes reaching a consensus even more challenging, and they are unlikely to reach an agreement.

However, Karl's goal is to fight the gods, so fighting them also has its advantages, as it allows him to familiarize himself with the characteristics of the gods in this world.

As mentioned before, the gods in this world are all embodiments of a certain concept. The more active the concept they represent, the stronger they are. The forest god Kainas is the embodiment of the concept of forest and nature.

However, as we all know, this world has been at war for tens of thousands of years. Every battle between the superior races can directly change the terrain of a place. Under such circumstances, how much forest can be left on the planet?

The answer is that, apart from the territory of the forest elves, there is almost nowhere left with forests. Under these circumstances, Kainas's strength will definitely be greatly affected.

If Karl wants to find a divine being to practice on, he should choose an easy target first. And Kainas is such an easy target.

“In that case, I wish us a pleasant collaboration. This situation, where I can freely experiment with magic, is quite enjoyable for me. Alright, here comes the first spell: hypnosis.” Sink said, opening the magic circle.

……

……

A certain Marvel universe.

Spider-Man, who had always protected New York and was beloved by the people, has passed away. His true identity has also been revealed, and everyone knows that Spider-Man is Peter Parker.

The streets were plastered with posters commemorating Spider-Man, and there were events going on. Even Spider-Man's girlfriend, Mary Jane, was invited to give a eulogy.

The group members changed into inconspicuous clothes woven from spider webs and mingled in the crowd. They were also infected by the sad atmosphere and their mood became somewhat depressed, but Riku alone could not feel sad at all.

"It's great here. There's no black ash in the air, and I can breathe freely without getting hurt."

"That must be the sun in the sky. It's so beautiful, but a bit too bright."

"Moreover, this is a world dominated by humans. The number of people in this square alone is more than the entire settlement."

"With abundant food and a large population, you don't have to live a precarious life every day. As long as you work, you can survive. It's a dream world."

If there weren't so many people around, Riku would have been moved to tears. How wonderful it would be if they could live here.

After seeing the humans from another world, Riku became even more determined. He picked up the large dictionary in his hand and began to study it diligently, trying his best to learn the language.

While group members can translate within the chat group, this function is not available when communicating with others. It is more convenient to learn it yourself. This is not a difficult task for Riku, as he had already taught himself several foreign languages ​​while in the No Game No Life world.

In fact, if the humans in the No Game No Life world could develop technology to the level of the 21st century, they would have a place in the great war. But unfortunately, they simply didn't have the opportunity to develop.

All races other than humans were created and are born with great power, greatly reducing periods of weakness. Under these circumstances, no matter how much potential humans have, it is of no use.

It's like playing Monopoly. If someone starts with more initial capital, they can easily accumulate a large amount of assets and snowball their advantage, making it impossible for other players to stand up. They've become so powerful that they can suppress you at will. Can you still develop under their nose?

Under the shadow of other races, humanity has no room to grow, which is why Riku was so determined to move after learning of the existence of other worlds.

Riku was so engrossed in his books that he didn't even notice the crowds thinning out in the square and the event ending.

Gan Yu patted Riku on the shoulder, then asked the others, "Where should we go next?"

“Come with me, I know where Spider-Man’s house is, let’s go check it out first,” Deadpool said.

He wasn't wearing a uniform now, but a hat and large sunglasses, trying to cover his pockmarked skin and conspicuous bald head.
