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

　"Yacintos has been defeated, and Roy, the 'Sprout of Justice,' has won! I declare the Astrea Familia the victor of this war game!" Ibrahim shouted.

　"Oh oh oh oh oh oh--"

　A sound like a mountain roaring and a tsunami crashing down came from above.

　They didn't care about Roy's abuse of Hycintos. In Orario, where strength is revered, it's perfectly normal for the strong to bully the weak!

　The Apollo Familia also relied on their powerful military force to coerce others, but this time they've bitten off more than they can chew!

　Moreover, the young man before them was a true powerhouse, the kind who dared to draw his sword against the strong!

　Today they witnessed a miracle.

　Throughout history, the vast difference in levels has been a fact that everyone faces. It is almost unheard of for a Level 2 adventurer to defeat a Level 3 adventurer!

　Roy's skills, schemes, magic, and everything else are incredibly exciting!

　Even adventurers at levels 5 and 6 felt a surge of excitement.

　With their experience, their tactics have become more stable, but they have forgotten their weaker selves. In order to defeat powerful enemies, they would stop at nothing. Even if they lost their weapons, they still had their fists; even if they lost their fists, they still had their teeth...

　We must spare no expense, even death, to leave scars on the enemy!

　Roy's battle reminded them of one thing: adventurers need to take risks!

　"Let's go to the dungeon!"

　Many adventurers headed straight for the Tower of Babel, plunging into the dungeon, determined to expend all their energy so they wouldn't be able to sleep that night.

　Of course, some people chose another way to vent their anger. The red-light district controlled by the Ishtar clan was destined to be filled with gunfire tonight.

　The gods showered him with praise, showering Roy, the hero, with goodwill.

　"He's actually quite capable," Loki muttered to herself, then clutched her head in pain, realizing she shouldn't think like that, or she'd fall into regret again.

　The doll-like, exquisitely beautiful blonde girl stared blankly at Roy in the arena, then lowered her head to look at her longsword, a thoughtful expression on her face.

　No one was more desperate than Apollo.

　"Impossible, Hyacinthus lost?"

　Apollo collapsed to the ground in terror, staring incredulously at the arena, wishing that everything he was seeing was just a nightmare.

　Under Ryu's protection, the goddess Astraea came before Apollo, her footsteps striking his heart like a heavy hammer.

　“Wait, Astraea, I was just joking with you.” Apollo’s face was pale.

　Astraea's beautiful face remained unchanged with a smile. "Apollo, leave Orario!"

　The punishment for Apollo had already been decided.

　All the property of Apollo's family was confiscated!

　The forced members of the familia are freed to decide their own fate. Apollo is exiled, forbidden from ever setting foot in Orario again, and vows never to use violence to force anyone into his familia!

　Apollo let out a desperate cry, each punishment tearing flesh from his heart.

　The gods laughed; the more miserable their brother was, the happier they were.

　No one can refuse the punishment in the war game. As the saying goes, if you don't want to be dignified, the gods have plenty of ways to make you dignified.

Chapter 69 New Members

　The war game was lost, and the Apollo Familia, consisting of hundreds of members, was wiped out in an instant. A core Familia disappeared from Orario almost without a trace.

　The vast majority of the clan members, having gained their freedom, had little attachment to Apollo. They either returned to their hometowns, rejoined their original clans, or became lone wolves under the name of neutral deities.

　In the end, apart from Hyacinthus, the fanatical believer who was on his last breath, who was exiled with Apollo, not a single member of the vast retinue was willing to follow.

　The two figures leaving Orario with their desolate silhouettes are heartbreaking; they will never return.

　This incident also served as a warning to the gods: forcing others to join a clan will not end well.

　All of Apollo Familia's assets were transferred to Astrea Familia. After years of operation, Apollo Familia had more than 30 million fali in cash alone, and with fixed assets, it had about 100 million fali.

　Apollo's mansion was filled with Apollo's wicked sense of humor, with statues of him everywhere. Roy and Astraea had no desire to waste time cleaning it up, nor did they want to live there; the Star Garden was sufficient as their residence.

　So that luxury mansion was sold off directly.

　It was more than enough to pay off the debts owed to his family, and his finances suddenly became abundant, making people sigh that taking over the rich was indeed the easiest way to get rich.

　For the gods, it was a great spectacle.

　Although they didn't uncover the secret to Roy's rapid growth, they did see many good things.

　A level 2 ability that rivals a level 3, arm guards with mysterious effects, and magic that requires no chanting...

　That boy is a treasure trove; who knows what else will be unearthed in the future? The gods have even prepared "Roy's Observation Diary."

　Looking back, people discovered a chilling fact: in a very short time, two Familias had been wiped out by the Astrea Familias.

　With the Astrea Familia wiped out and its members drastically reduced, justice has not only not disappeared, but has become even more... ruthless?!

　Mercenary groups and merchants who colluded with the dark faction trembled with fear.

　When Alexie and the others were still around, if they caught these villains, they would at most give them a beating and throw them into the prison set up by the Ganesha Familia.

　By Roy's generation, they were quick to cause deaths and the destruction of their clans, a completely different style!

　In fact, it has been proven that the use of harsh measures in times of chaos is justified. Since the great struggle two years ago, the dark clouds that have been hanging over Orario have shown signs of dissipating.

　Even ordinary people can feel the brand new look.

　The number of times adventurers are seen fighting on the streets has decreased, for fear of attracting that scourge Roy.

　The guild was both happy and worried.

　In Orario, clans are divided into different ranks and also pay taxes to the guild. Losing a core clan means losing a source of income.

　But from another perspective, it's also a good thing; Roy's battles inspired countless adventurers.

　A frenzied era is about to begin, and the progress of exploring dungeons will accelerate.

　Some were worried, some were happy, but Roy and his men were undoubtedly delighted, having achieved a great victory.

　"Cheers to victory in the war game!"

　A small celebration banquet is being held in the Star Garden. There are not many people present, but Hermes, Asphie, Shakti, and Astraea, a few close friends of the gods, are all beautiful goddesses.

　"Roy, little brother~"

　When will you come visit us?

　The goddesses, their eyes sparkling with love, surrounded Roy, practically wanting to rip his underwear off.

　Their enthusiasm was almost overwhelming for Roy.

　“Brother Roy, what a beautiful battle! Now, no one can say that the justice of the Astrea Familia has vanished!” Hermes laughed.

　Just like Roy's title, which can also be seen as the gods' expectation, the new sprout grows strong and eventually becomes a towering tree that shelters the weak.

　The goddess Astraea seemed to be in a good mood, "but I'll be busy soon."

　Get busy?

　Roy shook off the goddesses around him and looked at the goddess Astraea with a puzzled expression.

　After finishing the war game and paying off the debts owed to the clan, the most relaxing time should come.

　Astrea seemed to sense Roy's confusion. "These two children want to join us."

　As soon as she finished speaking, two girls peeked out from outside the door. Astraea went over and pulled them inside.

　It was after Daphne and Cassandra regained their freedom that the Apollo Familia disbanded, and with nowhere else to go, the two chose to join the Astrea Familia.

　The two solemnly said, "Lady Astraea, please allow us to join your kin!"

　"sure!"

　Astrea readily agreed.

　Daphne was subjected to lynching by Hyacintos and nearly beaten to death, but she did not reveal Roy's plan.

　When her friend was injured, Cassandra risked her own safety to seek Roy's help.

　Their courage is admirable; how could Astraea possibly refuse such outstanding children?

　"Great!"

　The two women's faces lit up with joy, and they embraced happily. Daphne's injuries had not fully healed, and she gasped in pain, her face a mixture of tears and laughter.

　Astraea looked at Ryu, who was acting as a waitress, and said, "Ryu, I'm entrusting these two children to you. Help them become qualified adventurers as soon as possible."

　"Yes!"

　The elven girl said earnestly, "There are more and more new members joining the familia. As the only old member, I have an obligation to take care of them, at least to revive the familia..."

　At this moment, the new members of the Astrea Familia were overjoyed, and the gods were also pleased to see the Astrea Familia growing stronger.

　The elven girl was in a good mood after finding a new goal, not to mention the goddess Astraea.

　Roy, however, had mixed feelings. (Sizzling!)

　Ryu is going to take care of Daphne and Cassandra? Those are his level 4 henchmen who help him clear dungeons!

　Looking at the goddess Astrea's radiant and perfect face, I realize there's a wicked god among the Familia!

　"hehe!"

　The goddess Astraea's mood was quite the opposite; Roy's bitter face made her smile.

　Roy, without consulting her, plotted against the Apollo Familia, ultimately triggering this war game.

　She had calculated this very clearly.

　The debt owed by the clan was originally intended to distract Ryu from her focus on revenge. Now that the debt is gone, she naturally wants to give Ryu something else to do: revive the clan—what a wonderful goal!

　A boomerang pierced Roy's body.

　After spending a week mastering the power of LV.2, Roy's original intention was to eliminate the Apollo Familia, pay off the debt owed by the Familia as soon as possible, and then continue to run dungeons.

　The Apollo Familia was wiped out, and the debt was paid off, but the LV.4 henchman was kidnapped.

　The bitter wine hurts my heart as it goes down, chug chug chug!

　Astraea chatted with the other goddesses, while Hermes leaned over to Roy and said with a smile, "Roy, do you know about the three great adventurer requests?"

　Roy's eyes are strange. What are you trying to do?

Chapter 70 Treasure Hunt

　Three adventurers have requested this!

　In response to Hermes' question, Roy replied, "Surely no one doesn't know."

　A thousand years ago, three powerful monsters emerged from the underground city and brought devastating disasters to countless countries and cities, causing countless deaths.

　Orario possesses the world's top combat power.

　The common desire of people all over the world has entrusted Orario with the task of defeating these three monsters.

　The King of the Land—Behemoth!

　Leviathan, the king of the seas!

　The symbol of the end times—the black dragon!

　The first two were defeated by Zeus and Hera's Families ten years ago, leaving only the black dragon, whose immense power even led to the annihilation of the two Families.

　This black dragon still slumbers in the far north of the continent, at the edge of the world.

　Hermes seemed to transform into the world's finest orator, recounting the three adventurers' commissions to Roy with a passionate and inspiring voice that moved everyone present.

　But Roy was like a stubborn rock, unmoved, watching Hermes' performance as if it were a show.

　Hermes grinned excitedly. "Brother Roy, the world is yearning for a hero. Become a hero; you have the qualifications!"

　"I try my best."

　Roy immediately understood what Hermes was up to: trying to trick him into fighting the black dragon. He was really something.

　Hermes was in a good mood and patted Roy on the shoulder. "I have high hopes for you!"

　Roy watched Hermes leave, not becoming arrogant because of the praise. To fight the black dragon? He was joking; he didn't even have the qualifications to be cannon fodder!
