In this chaotic world, it all started when they found an elf girl

　While the three were enjoying dinner, undercurrents were swirling within Orario.

　The reason is simple: the bounty of 80 million Faris!

　The adventurers' eyes turned red.

　The adventurers didn't take Ryu's proposed war game seriously at all; it was impossible for Ryu alone to defeat the large number of Rudra's Familia.

　Many adventurers dismissed the "war game" declaration as the elven girl being blinded by anger, or as a way to save face after the annihilation of some of her clans.

　Adventurers who hunt down Rudra's Familia in advance can exchange their heads for Fali at the guild three days later.

　At this point, speed is everything; the faster you are, the more you get. A massive campaign was launched across the city to subjugate the Rudra clan.

　"There are members of the Rudra clan here, level 1 low-level fodder!"

　"Kill him, and there will be three more to the east!"

　"Have you found the Rudraksha clan leaders?"

　……

　The Rudra clan members were ambushed, and the crisp sound of weapons clashing rang out as blood flowed like a river.

　A similar scene unfolded throughout Orario.

　The orange-haired cat-man, Jaluo, barely escaped his pursuit and hid in the sewers. Sewage washed over his face, and his cold eyes revealed intense hatred.

　Of course, it's mainly the D-rank and below Familias that will participate in the subjugation; Familias like Freya Familia and Loki Familia won't actually get involved.

　High-ranking families chose to remain neutral.

　Meanwhile, the many gods watched the conflict with great anticipation, enjoying the spectacle regardless of who won or lost.

　The most burdened are naturally the guilds. They have to maintain order, prevent desperate dark faction adventurers from breaking into residents' homes and killing them, and also prevent some adventurers from taking advantage of the chaos. They are extremely busy.

　They complained bitterly, harboring the same question in their hearts: why would the great god Uranus agree to such a reckless thing? Isn't this going to cause chaos?

　It's actually not complicated. Between two evils, choose the lesser. The current chaos is only temporary. The leak of Zagnat's intelligence means it won't be a matter of just a day or two.

　The House of Dusk.

　Loki, with his red hair and squinting eyes, lay on the sofa, sipping his favorite wine. "This isn't like Astraea at all."

　That's the goddess who governs justice!

　"I heard that Gale is accompanied by a little brat... War Game... The tremors in the dungeon... have driven the Rudrak's clan to the brink of destruction, could it be!" Loki put down his wine glass, his narrowed eyes slightly opening.

　Loki called over a member of his kin, "How much longer until Finn and the others finish their expedition?"

　The member in charge of communications reported, “Lord Loki, due to the anomaly in the dungeon, the captain and his men have ended their expedition ahead of schedule and will return to the surface in three days, barring any unforeseen circumstances.”

　"Three days later..."

　Loki squinted again and muttered to himself, "You'd better not drag us into this, or else..."

　If Roy were there, he would surely be struck by how terrifying this clown goddess was. Although it was a coincidence, combined with the false information, one could deduce her ultimate goal.

　Battlefield.

　Standing atop the high-rise, the goddess Freya exuded captivating charm with every move. Gazing at the chaotic Orario, she said, "I'll leave this to them, but I'm determined to get that girl."

　"Everything is as the goddess wishes!"

　Ota, whose body was as large as a small mountain, stood behind. He knew that the goddess had her eye on the elf, and that she had seen a soul color that was no less than theirs.

　The next day.

　Upon receiving news that the Rudra clan had been hunted, Ryu rushed over to find Roy.

　When Roy saw that Ryu wanted to join the expedition, he reassured her with a speechless expression, "Calm down, calm down. This kind of hunt can only weaken the enemy's strength at most. It's impossible to completely eradicate the Rudra Familia!"

　Roy didn't say it explicitly, but the clever elf girl's face froze for a moment. "Completely eradicate the Rudra clan?"

　Roy's appetite was bigger than she had imagined!

　This is common knowledge; the Familia were established by the gods, and if the gods disappear...

　Roy grinned. "If you're going to do it, do it thoroughly. If you don't cut the weeds at the root, they'll grow back in the spring!"

　Looking at the smile on the boy's face, Liu felt a chill, but it suited her just the way she wanted it. Now she was a vengeful beast, and asked, "What do we do next?"

　Roy laughed and said, "Inviting guests, beheading, or accepting someone as a dog—which card should you play first?"

　Without hesitation, Liu shouted, "Beheading!"

　Roy's lips twitched; he shouldn't have asked.

　"dinner!"

　……

　Roy and Ryu left the Star Garden, and before leaving, they didn't forget to take out the leftover ice jelly from yesterday to reward the Ganesha Familia members guarding the mansion.

　On a sweltering summer day, a bite of this filled the eyes of the Ganesha Familia members with goodwill.

　Roy led Liu to the slums, the area where he had previously pitched his tent. Knowing the way well, they went straight to a dilapidated house.

　Before even entering the house, a stench assaulted my senses.

　Roy pinched his nose and said, "You guys still really like living in a garbage dump."

　"Roy, didn't you move away?"

　The seven or eight homeless people living in the house were startled when they saw Roy and huddled in a corner.

　Roy tossed over a money pouch. "Here's 30,000 Fali. Help me send a message to the Rudra's clan: Goddess Astraea wishes to see God Rudra!"

Chapter 21 Hongmen Banquet

　After instructing the vagrants to pass on the message, Roy and the elven girl did not linger and headed home.

　On the way back, the elven girl couldn't suppress her curiosity any longer, "What did you do to them?"

　Roy said calmly, "It's nothing. When I first came to Orario, I ate a bowl of jelly, but they insisted that I ate two bowls. So I had to gouge out their eyes and swallow them to show them whether I ate one bowl or two."

　"..." The elven girl understood; this was a story of a bandit encountering a bully.

　The homeless men, who had been severely punished by Roy, were left with deep psychological trauma and dared not fool Roy at all, let alone expect to be paid.

　These vagrants, like the adventurers of the Dark Faction, are at the very bottom of Orario, usually hiding in dark corners and making a living by swindling people.

　There are naturally ways to find the Rudra family.

　The news quickly reached the ears of Rudra, the chief god.

　He was a man with Indian features and clothing, exuding a faint divine aura that made people know he was a deity, and that the goddess Astraea, who was in charge of justice, had invited him to meet.

　Rudra laughed so hard he slapped the table.

　As a deity from the East, he has many followers from India who are familiar with the history of a neighboring great power. The clan leader is one of them. The middle-aged man looks wary as he says, "Xiang Yu invited Liu Bang!"

　Many members of the clan spoke up to dissuade them, suspecting it was a trap to lure them out and then use the bounty to capture them all!

　In fact, when Ryu made the "war game" declaration, he was so surprised to encounter such a fun thing that the chief god Rudra wanted to agree immediately.

　It was only through the strong opposition of the members of the Familia that they were barely stopped. The Ganesha Familia, which had a very good relationship with the Astrea Familia, kept a close eye on them.

　Can the other party simply not participate?

　They took down the S-rank Ganesha clan.

　This time, Lou Tuoluo was determined and asked in return, "What did Liu Bang do after that?"

　"He's become emperor..." The clan leader paused for a moment, then said uncertainly, "Shall we go to the banquet?"

　Orario, Daedalus Road.

　This is a complex area where impoverished urban residents congregate. The terrain is like a maze, and it is said that once you accidentally enter, you will never be able to get out.

　Inside a quiet, unassuming tavern.

　Rudra entered with two guards and immediately spotted the goddess Astrea, who was cloaked and concealing her identity, and behind her, a small, elven girl with a tense face, filled with hatred and murderous intent.

　Ryu clenched his fists so tightly that his nails dug into his palms, and he didn't react at all when blood dripped down. That was the culprit, the chief god who established the Rudraksha clan!

　Lou Tuo Luo stared at the elven girl with great interest. "If you can maintain this expression, I would be happy to let you join my kin."

　Liu's face contorted in pain, and she almost drew her sword.

　"cough!"

　The goddess Astraea's expression was unfriendly.

　Rudra's attention returned to the goddess Astraea, and he was amazed, laughing, "I never thought I would meet the goddess who governs justice."

　As a cruel and ruthless evil god in Hindu mythology, Rudra is naturally opposed to justice.

　"Lord Rudra, enough with the nonsense. Let's play the war game and settle this matter!" Astraea didn't give him a friendly look.

　"I have no opinion."

　Lou Tuoluo chuckled, "Since you've come, it means you've already decided to engage in the war game."

　"So the rules of the war game are..." Astraea's lips moved slightly, her barely audible voice reaching the ears of Rudra and the others.

　Everyone in the tavern suddenly widened their eyes.

　Rudrak's body trembled slightly, and his eyes shone with an unprecedented light, filled with excitement and fervor.

　……

　Liu protected the goddess Astraea as she met with the god Rudra, while Roy hurried off to run a dungeon alone.

　Every second must be used as nourishment for growth in preparation for the upcoming war game.

　Copy: Highschool of the Dead

　Difficulty: LV.1~LV.2

　Introduction: Over 90% of humanity worldwide has turned into zombies, plunging the world into chaos and disorder.

　Main task: For every ten zombies killed, you will gain 1 attribute point. When the number of zombies killed reaches 1,000, a special reward will be triggered - a potion chest (containing at least one high-level potion).

　Bonus mission: Save the world...

　Since he didn't bring any LV.4 henchmen, Roy obediently returned to the dungeons he could manage.

　However, when Roy saw the dungeon reward, he almost thought he was seeing things. What the hell was this? 1 attribute point? Is this some kind of beggar's treat?!

　He quickly realized that it was because he had become stronger!

　As his strength increases, the rewards for different dungeons will also change.

　The zombies in this instance are at most on par with goblins. With his current abilities, clearing it isn't too difficult, so naturally, the rewards won't be high.

　When you first receive the blessing, the reward should be 1 attribute point for every zombie you kill.

　Roy didn't complain. If he was willing to risk his life, there were dungeons with high rewards.

　[Fate/Zero Instance: Hunt down Zouken Matou, reward 4000 attribute points, Silver Treasure Chest.]

　[Naruto Dungeon: Hunt down Orochimaru, reward 10000 attribute points, Golden Treasure Chest.]

　……

　Roy was too tempted to enter any of these dungeon worlds because the rewards were too good to be true; the chances of getting killed were too high.

　Island nation, Tokoname City.

　When Roy opened his eyes, he found himself on a rooftop, standing high above a classic island landscape. The weather was fine and sunny, and he felt comfortable and at ease. However, the situation below was not so harmonious.

　The streets were filled with zombies that looked like walking corpses, with dry skin and lifeless eyes.

　A quick glance reveals at least a hundred of them.

　Roy frowned. All his fear stemmed from insufficient firepower. If he had heavy weapons, he was confident he could kill through ten thousand zombies, let alone a thousand!

　But before that...

　Roy walked down cautiously. The zombies in this world are attracted by sound, and with his SS-level agility, walking silently was too easy for him.

　Upon entering the convenience store at the intersection, Roy found the employees had long since turned into zombies, and he experienced a zero-dollar purchase.

　Roy opened the refrigerator, took out a bottle of chilled soda, and suppressed his excitement, holding it in his hands as if he were holding the most precious thing in the world.

　Fifteen years! Life without sugary drinks! Do you know how he spent those fifteen years?
