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

　Then, intense anger filled Roy's chest, as if it would burn away his reason.

　"Don't worry, I'll make good use of your body, of course, in the lab!"

　"Draw 1,000 milliliters of blood first!"

　"No, no, he's too weak. He might die. No, no, no, I have to believe that as a superhuman, he won't die so easily."

　But Roy was no longer listening to the old man's mutterings. From Saeko Busujima being shot to his own being blown up, the anger he had accumulated was like a raging fire in a furnace.

　His adrenaline surged, and Roy seemed oblivious to the pain. His eyes were bloodshot, and he struggled to support himself on the ground with his hands, like a raging beast.

　At that moment, he had only one thought in his mind: to crush the enemy with the most brutal and powerful attack, so that the other party would never dare to provoke him again!

　"You can still stand up? No wonder you're a superhuman. You're more valuable alive than dead," old man Eric said fanatically, pulling out a small pistol, aiming it at Roy, and pulling the trigger without hesitation.

　The injected needle pierced Roy's chest.

　However, the boy's body remained standing.

　Roy stared coldly at the old white man as he walked towards him, showing no sign of being asleep.

　"Impossible! This anesthetic would even knock out an adult elephant!" Eric exclaimed incredulously.

　“An anesthetic that can numb an adult elephant? You think that can quell my anger!” Roy said coldly, a surge of heat coursing through his body, providing him with strength.

　[Skill Awakened!]

　Title: Blood for Blood!

　Effect: Accumulates all attacks received and returns them to the enemy at once. Depending on emotional fluctuations, the damage is increased by different multipliers.

　Note: Shifting targets will result in a decrease in damage.

　……

　Eric couldn't see Roy's golden panel; he only remembered Roy's insane slaughter in the base. The boy in front of him wasn't his lab rat, but a true god of death!

　A faint crimson glow emanated from Roy's body, making him look like a demon king emerging from the depths of hell.

　"No!" Eric turned to run away, but it was too late. Roy pounced on him like a tiger.

　Bang!Bang!Bang!

　Roy abandoned his village sword, took a step forward and slammed the other man's head into the ground. His fists rained down like a storm, striking the old white man in front of him, the dull thuds of the impact echoing endlessly.

　"Please, let me have just one vial of blood, just one vial, I'm willing to pay any price!"

　"I can't die! The loss of my brilliant mind would be a huge loss to all of humanity!"

　"Please, please, let me go."

　……

　The old white man's voice grew weaker and weaker, and his pleas for mercy did not soften Roy's heart in the slightest.

　Roy gritted his teeth, each punch he threw seemed to use all his strength, and the white old man's body was smashed into a pulp by his two fists.

　Until he breathed his last in despair.

　"Hoo! Hoo!"

　Roy collapsed onto the lawn, panting heavily. The crimson glow on his body faded, and he was completely exhausted.

　With the skill "blood for blood," he will never fall down until he returns the damage he has received to the opponent, even if he suffers a fatal wound!

　Roy extracted three different low-grade potions, uncorked them, and drank them all at once.

　Different colors of light emanated from its body surface.

　A few seconds later, Roy exhaled a breath of stale air. Although he was still in great pain, he was no longer in that dying feeling. He was conscious and looked up.

　Fortunately, most of the zombies were drawn to the exploding base, otherwise, given his current terrible condition, it would have been very troublesome.

　Roy led Saeko Busujima around the base and entered the military barracks building through a side door with fewer zombies, locking the iron gate behind them.

　Perhaps the old man thought Saeko Busujima had some special constitution that allowed her to survive by chance.

　Saeko Busujima slowly woke up, feeling a dull pain in her chest, but at least she was not in mortal danger.

　"Here are six potions as your reward. Use the red one if you're injured, and the blue one if you're exhausted. With your abilities, you can survive on your own," Roy said. He didn't give you any spirit potions; for someone who can't use magic, those are less useful than two cups of coffee.

　Having done all this, without waiting for Saeko Busujima's reply, the dazed Roy clicked "Return".

Chapter 28 The Most Dangerous War Game in History

　Orario, Tower of Babel.

　The gathering place of the gods was on the thirtieth floor of the Tower of Babel. This floor had no other areas; it was a spacious hall with rows of thick, long columns supporting the towering ceiling.

　The spacious room features only a large round table in the center, surrounded by huge glass walls and shrouded in mist, resembling a palace in the sky.

　The gods of Orario have gathered together.

　In the War Game, two clans fight under the rules set by the gods.

　The Astrea Familia versus the Rudra Familia of the Dark Faction thrilled these amusement-loving gods, their faces beaming with anticipation.

　Justice versus darkness and evil!

　Many gods also stared at the brown-skinned male god with hostile eyes.

　Rudra, the god of the dark faction.

　Two years ago, during the great struggle, many of their gods were almost sent to heaven, so they had no good feelings towards these evil gods who loved chaos and death.

　"How ironic that I was able to enter the Divine Assembly!" Lou Tuoluo sneered. As a god of the dark faction, he was not on the same side as the gods who were willing to abide by order, and had never set foot here before.

　No deity would welcome Rudra.

　"I am Ganesha—"

　Seeing the awkward atmosphere, the burly god wearing an elephant mask rushed out and shouted loudly.

　"Haha, Ganesha, you're still as cheerful and optimistic as ever," Rudra laughed. As a fellow deity from the Indian tradition, he naturally recognized Ganesha.

　In India, Ganesha is known as the god of wisdom and the god of overcoming obstacles. He symbolizes good fortune and success and is one of the most popular deities in India.

　And Rudra is an evil god who enjoys chaos.

　“Rudra, what are you planning to do this time?” Ganesha raised his head and looked at the other person seriously.

　The gods looked surprised; this was the first time they had ever seen such a serious god as Ganesha.

　"Don't get me wrong, this time it was that woman who caused me trouble." Lou Tuoluo shrugged.

　Ganesha fell silent. His kin's children were his friends, and he had a good relationship with Astraea. Yet, it was his fellow countrymen who committed such an evil deed.

　"Stop with the nonsense and just announce the rules of the war game!"

　"I took my pants off, and this is what you show me?"

　"That's right!"

　……

　Many gods grumbled, but there was nothing they could do.

　The war game is played between the Astrea Familia and the Rudra Familia. The rules must be agreed upon by both parties for the game to continue. In special circumstances, with the approval of all the gods, a lottery will be chosen.

　Astrea and Rudra exchanged a glance. They had already discussed the rules of the war game in private; this was just a formality.

　"The rules of war games are—"

　"Challenge the Dungeon!"

　Astraea and Rudra said in unison.

　As soon as he finished speaking, the entire spacious hall fell into a deathly silence, where even the sound of breathing could be clearly heard.

　Loki, sitting in the back row, leaned against the chair, her hands behind her head, her eyes slightly open and narrowed. Her guess was correct; they really dared to play like this!

　Considering the conflict between the two clans, many gods had already realized something, and one male god still asked, "What does 'challenge the dungeon' mean?"

　"That's literally what it means!"

　A sinister smile appeared on Rudra's face. "Two familiars enter the dungeon. Within a limited time, the familiar that reaches the deeper floor wins!"

　Upon hearing this, even a fool would understand: is the dungeon a place for playing games?

　This is not a game, it's a bloodbath!

　Many gods were sweating profusely. Was this some kind of game? Both sides were aiming to annihilate the other's entire race!

　Ordinary war games are just games after all, and no one will die. The two sides are using the name of war games to settle past grievances in the dungeon!

　"Does the guild agree?"

　"Cough cough!"

　The wronged Remer, who had been sent over, stood to the side and almost choked on his own saliva. "The guild is investigating the dungeon tremors from a few days ago and has already ordered the Ganesha Familia to seal off the entrance. The two Familias can enter, but the guild will not be responsible for them."

　The entrance to the underground city is in a "exit only" state.

　Under normal circumstances, adventurers would probably be furious. They make a living by hunting monsters and exchanging magic stones for money, but the recent dungeon anomaly led directly to the surface, and the monsters' attributes increased by one level.

　It scared everyone, and many people were injured. The willingness to enter the dungeon has been very low these past few days.

　The opposition was not as strong as expected.

　The Astrea Familia and the Rudra Familia are also unable to enter the dungeon in advance to cause any trouble.

　"Since neither side has any objections, then it's settled. The rules of the war game are 'Challenge the Dungeon,' and the clan that enters the deeper floors wins!"

　As for the rewards, there's no need to even mention them.

　The victor has the power to control everything the loser has, including plundering assets, disbanding families, banishing gods, and even sending them back to the heavens!

　……

　When Roy opened his eyes again, he saw an unfamiliar white ceiling, but the surroundings were familiar. He was lying on his large bed. This was the Garden of Stars!

　"hiss!"

　Roy tried to move slightly, but a sharp pain shot through his body, causing him to gasp in shock.

　Having taken the brunt of a bomb, three bottles of low-grade potion were clearly insufficient to heal his injuries. His body felt like it was about to fall apart, but amidst the pain, a warm sensation surged through his body, helping to alleviate the agony.

　"are you awake?"

　A blonde, pointed-eared elf girl entered the room, her sky-blue eyes fixed on him. "Which dangerous secret realm did you run off to this time? You've gotten yourself into this state."

　A hint of weariness flashed in the elven girl's eyes. She had found Roy severely injured in the courtyard and had used "Noah's Healing" countless times to bring him back to life.

　Roy forced a smile. "It's the same old story; plans can't keep up with changes..."

　Liu sighed helplessly and couldn't help but complain, "You've encountered far too many 'changes'."

　Roy chuckled awkwardly. Although he encountered unexpected events every day, sometimes he deliberately sought out thrills. He changed the subject, "Where's the goddess Astraea?"

　Mentioning this, Ryu immediately perked up, "Attending the Divine Assembly at the Tower of Babel, the War Games are here!"

　Roy looked out the window at the tall tower in the distance; it seemed his plan was progressing smoothly and steadily.

　"It's remarkable that you could refrain from taking action." Roy looked at Liu, who clearly wanted nothing more than to grind all the members of the Dark Faction to dust, yet she held back when protecting the goddess Astraea and meeting with the god Rudra.

　Liu Yin gritted her teeth. "If we acted then, we could only kill two people at most. That wouldn't be enough, absolutely not enough!"

　Even if we capture Rudra, what good will it do if Goddess Astraea sends him back to heaven?

　The Rudraksha clan converted to the service of another evil god and continued to wreak havoc in the world.

　Just as Roy said, if you're going to do it, do it thoroughly, wipe out the clan, and return the gods!

Chapter 29 Joining the Astrea Familia

　The news that the Astrea and Rudra families were going to have a war game spread like wildfire throughout Orario, leaving people speechless with astonishment.

　Most people didn't take Ryu's previous declaration seriously, but now they're being told it's for real?

　When they learned the rules of the war between the two clans, even the most ruthless adventurers had to admit, "It's ruthless, so ruthless!"

　Enter the dungeon and fight each other!

　It can be said to be the most dangerous war game in history!
