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

　Lily wanted to burst into tears. Why was she so unlucky? Why did she only meet him now?

　“Let’s go, let’s solve this together, otherwise this shop will continue to be destroyed,” Roy said softly, like a devil’s whisper, guiding the other person. “Okay.”

　Lily nodded and followed behind Roy.

　The onlookers made way for the two.

　At this moment, Roy appeared to everyone as a hero, accepting the girl's request to vanquish the dark, brutal, and notorious Familia. Lily clutched Roy's clothes, feeling a warm glow in her heart; she had never felt so at ease before.

　Roy did not go directly to the Soma Familia's residence, but returned to the Star Garden.

　Why fight alone when you can fight in a group?

　It's like he doesn't have any powerful connections. His own girls should be taken out and shown to the world too.

　Roy called out, "Miss Liu, Daphne, Cassandra, get to work!"

　When they learned about the little girl's situation, Daphne and Cassandra were on the verge of tears. From birth, her parents had neglected her, and she had to beg for a living. Even in the dark and chaotic Orario, it was rare to see someone with such a tragic experience.

　In comparison, Daphne's experience of being hunted by the Apollo Familia is nothing. Cassandra, needless to say, was a wealthy young lady before becoming an adventurer, living a life of luxury and being a true heiress.

　A cold glint flashed deep within Liutian's blue eyes. Those Soma Familia members, in some ways, were even more disgusting than the dark factions. Like termites, they were eroding Orario's very foundation.

　Ryu looked at Roy, "What do you want to do?"

　Roy pondered for a moment and said, "The current situation of the Soma Familia is all because of the Divine Wine. The Familia leader, Chanis Lustra, used the Divine Wine to control the power of the Familia, forcing the members to use every means to make money and accumulating a large amount of wealth. This person must be dealt with first."

　Everyone nodded in agreement; the divine wine was merely a tool, while Chanis was the root of all evil.

　Having made up their minds, the group set off, fully armed, heading straight for the Soma clan's encampment.

　Seeing Roy and his companions go to uphold justice, the goddess Astraea had no objections. She smiled and watched them go, then stayed behind to guard the house. Meanwhile...

　After waiting all evening at the teahouse without seeing Roy, Chanis, nearly driven mad with anger, returned to his clan's camp and immediately received news: Roy had sent several of his members to prison!

　Chanis's eyes widened; something was wrong!

　boom! !

　Before Chanis could figure out what was going on, a deafening explosion rang out, flames shooting into the sky, interrupting his thoughts. A member of the Familia cried out urgently, "It's the Astrea Familia! They've broken in!"

　"what?!"

　Chanis and several other clan leaders' expressions changed; they had no grudge against the Astrea clan!

　Okay, it seems like we have a grudge...

　But wasn't it the budding of justice that injured their people? They didn't even come to demand an explanation, so how dare the Astrea Familia come knocking on their door?

　The minds of the Soma Familia members were buzzing.

　"The budding of justice, you?" Chanis's face twisted in pain, but he was the only one who vaguely realized something.

　Meanwhile, with Lily acting as an informant, Roy had most of the information about the Soma Familia, including their numbers, locations, and equipment.

　The number of people drawn to the divine wine and joining the Soma Familia is unimaginable; the total number of people in this family exceeds six thousand, making it a large family. Of course, the vast majority of these six thousand people are LV.1, with only a handful being LV.2.

　These people joined the Soma Familia for the sake of drinking, not for adventure. They had no interest in honing their combat skills or leveling up. They spent their days swindling and cheating, just to make money and get a sip of the divine sake.

　Even with a huge numerical disadvantage, Roy dared to lead Daphne and Cassandra through the front gate to blast it apart with a single spell against this group of drunkards. Ryu alone blocked the back gate of the Soma Familia.

　"Sprout of Justice, what are you trying to do?"

　"Fight back! Fight back now!"

　Upon seeing Roy and his group burst in, the members of the Soma Familia erupted in panic, shattering the tranquility of Orario's night. A large number of Familia members awoke from their sleep, grabbed their weapons, and charged out—a formidable force of at least four or five hundred—surrounding Roy and his companions in the blink of an eye.

　"Erd, you traitor!"

　"Kill that traitor first!"

　The members of the Soma Familia stared at Lily with furious eyes, their murderous intent particularly chilling.

　Lily, protected in the middle by Roy and the other two, had a pale face, and the fear hidden deep in her bones surfaced.

　At that moment, Roy gave her a reassuring look, which immediately put her at ease.

　Roy said in a deep voice, "Daphne, Cassandra, you know what to do!"

　"Yes!"

　Daphne and Cassandra responded, their faces showing slight nervousness. This was their first time dealing with adventurers; previously, they had only fought monsters in dungeons. But their nervousness wasn't fear!

　The real fear should be directed at the members of the Soma Familia!

　News has spread that Roy accepted a request from a dwarf girl during the day to deal with the Soma Familia.

　Many people occupied nearby high points in advance, prepared snacks such as beer and peanuts, and watched the show.

　Especially the many gods, who seemed to thrive on chaos, shouted excitedly, "Let's fight! Let's fight!"

Chapter 139 Suppressing the Soma Kinka

　"The Laurel Escapee (Daphne) is pretty good, almost catching up with those kids who have reached LV.2 in two or three years."

　"The Dream Healer (Cassandra) is so cute, hahaha, apologizing while hitting people."

　"Those guys from the Soma Familia are such useless trash, so boring. I want to see rivers of blood!"

　"A budding sense of justice? Is that kid even human?"

　"Master Luo, try to cut through his mid lane!"

　A battle was about to break out between the two sides. The Soma Familia, relying on their numerical advantage, charged towards Roy and his group.

　The gods observed the battle, initially commenting on everyone's performance, but later they became micro-management masters, making absurd statements such as Daphne's rapier moving down 0.1 millimeters and Cassandra moving back 0.5 millimeters.

　"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry!"

　Cassandra bowed and apologized as she brandished her staff, knocking down one Soma Familia member after another who approached her and Lily. Daphne, wielding her rapier, thrust forward swiftly, raining down a large number of Soma Familia members like a storm.

　With their combined LV.2 stats, the two of them had an overwhelming advantage over the drunkards of the Soma Familia.

　Lily, protected by the two, had a mouth so small it looked like it could fit a duck egg. She saw several familiar figures in the crowd, all of whom were adventurers who had bullied her in the past. But in front of Roy and his group, these people were harvested like clumps of weeds.

　This is what a high-level adventurer looks like!

　Lily, who had only ever interacted with adventurers at the bottom of society, was deeply shocked.

　I'd seen high-level adventurers battle in the mirror of war games, but nothing compares to the awe-inspiring sight of it in person. The most impressive of all was the boy who saved me…

　Roy said in a deep voice, "Come out!"

　Pitter! Pitter! Pitter!

　As Roy unleashed a series of spells, golden lightning surged from his body, spreading wildly outwards, instantly transforming an area of ​​several meters into a sea of ​​lightning. Jackals, tigers, and leopards formed from the golden lightning materialized; at a glance, there were more than twenty of them, enormous in size, comparable to the Minotaur, exuding an imposing aura. Want to outnumber them? Roy has never backed down!

　At LV.3, he summoned physical clones, each of which had LV.2 and all abilities at D rank or higher.

　Numerous lightning summons rushed forward, and the screams of the Soma Familia members echoed continuously.

　The battle situation is one-sided.

　The gods and adventurers on the distant high-rises watched in stunned silence. They had long heard of Roy's incredible magic, but had never witnessed it firsthand. With this magic at play, it was impossible to overwhelm Roy with sheer numbers.

　The group also realized something terrifying.

　The level of the Thunder Summoned Creatures will only be one level lower than Roy's. Doesn't that mean that once Roy reaches LV.7, he can summon over a hundred LV.6 monsters in no time? Who would dare to mess with him then? The combat power summoned by one person is enough to wipe out any Familia!

　Roy's lightning summons joined the battle, and the Soma Familia's forces collapsed like a house of cards. Many of them had never even defeated the Minotaur, and now they were even more terrified in the face of these summons.

　Compared to monsters, adventurers possess wisdom and strategy, but once their morale collapses, they lose their will to fight and only care about escaping. In this respect, they lack the courage and fearlessness of monsters.

　Everyone was fleeing in a panic.

　"Mage, cast a spell!"

　At this moment, the officers of the Soma clan finally stepped forward, and their leader, Chanis, let out a loud shout.

　The dozens of mages standing at the back finished their incantation, and their magic triggered all sorts of supernatural phenomena. Lightning, flames, water, and many other attacks streaked through the air and flew toward Roy and his group.

　Seeing this, the gods perked up and stared intently at Roy, wondering how he would respond.

　If those dozens of spells hit, even an ordinary LV.3 adventurer would die on the spot!

　"come over!"

　Roy's mind stirred, and more than twenty summoned lightning creatures leaped into the air, merging into one in mid-air, unleashing a surge of golden lightning. It transformed into a forty-meter-long greatsword in Roy's hand; the part he held appeared no different from an ordinary longsword, but it extended outwards, growing ever larger. Boom!!

　Under the astonished gazes of the gods, Roy lightly swung his forty-meter-long greatsword, which swept across the room, shattering all the incoming magic with its sharp edge.

　A violent explosion occurred in mid-air, its deafening roar echoing through the sky, and dazzling, multicolored lights illuminated the entire night sky. A deathly silence fell over the surrounding area.

　This was the first time the gods had ever seen Roy fight after reaching LV.3, and they were all dumbfounded.

　Even Daphne and Cassandra, who were on the same side, were stunned, not expecting Roy to resolve the magic in such a simple and brutal way. It was too violent, and too shocking!

　The gods and adventurers trembled with excitement.

　The Soma Familia members ran even faster, their eyes filled with terror as they looked at Roy. Let whoever wants to fight that monster do it; they weren't going to serve him anymore. Roy ignored the small fry, bursting forth towards Chanis's location. His figure was like a ghost, quickly passing through the large group of Soma Familia members. "Wait, Justice Sprout! That was just a warning..." Chanis, seeing Roy's unstoppable advance, retreated hastily, his voice filled with terror. Being attacked on his own turf, he had to respond no matter what, to maintain his authority as leader; otherwise, how could his subordinates obey him? Chanis had planned that the magic attack would injure Roy, allowing for negotiations. He never expected Roy to be so ridiculously strong. Chanis's response was a forty-meter-long greatsword, a massive sword that blotted out the sky, its enormous shadow engulfing him.

　"Ahhhhhh!"

　Chanis was so frightened that his whole body went limp, and the few trusted men he usually kept fled.

　boom!

　The greatsword didn't kill Chanis in the end; instead, it fell to the ground beside him, splitting the floor. Chanis collapsed to the ground, paralyzed, his crotch soaked. Roy grabbed Chanis by the neck and lifted him up. "Everyone, drop your weapons and get down!"

　Roy's loud voice echoed throughout the venue, and the previously chaotic situation gradually quieted down.

　The power of a single sword strike annihilating dozens of spells caused the members of the Soma Familia to lose their will to fight. Seeing that even their leader had been captured, they were completely demoralized and threw down their weapons.

　At this moment, Ryu also came over with several Soma Familia executives. To catch the thief, first catch the leader. Without these organizers, the remaining small fry could not cause any trouble. The huge Soma Familia was suppressed just like that. The gods and adventurers looked at each other in disbelief. Who said that the Astrea Familia's strength was greatly reduced after the annihilation?

　With that monster who has sprouted the seeds of justice, anyone who wants to provoke the Astrea Familia in the future will have to think twice.

　In a sense, in the eyes of many, Roy at LV.3 is more feared than Ryu at LV.5.

　"The budding of justice, you..."

　Chanis glared at Roy.

　The tiny electric currents surging from Roy's palm invaded Chanis's body, damaging his vocal cords.

　Chanis opened his mouth wide, but no sound came out; he was filled with despair and fear.

Chapter 140 A Bet with God

　Having successfully suppressed the Soma Familia, Roy dragged the limp Chanis into the mansion. Led by Lily, they arrived at a room where, despite the fierce fighting outside and the suppression of the entire Familia, the door remained tightly shut.

　Pushing open the door, a rich aroma of wine wafted out, causing Roy, Ryu, and their group to change their expressions, even experiencing a momentary hallucination. Looking closer, the room resembled a study, but was extremely spacious, with various materials laid out on the table and countless bottles and jars. A man was stirring one of the jars of wine with a wooden stick; it was the same aroma Roy and the others had smelled. Even the unfinished divine wine could produce hallucinogenic effects. Lily murmured, "The God of Soma..."

　The divine aura emanating from this man proved that he was a deity, but he was far less glamorous and dashing than the main gods of other clans. He was dressed in work clothes, slovenly and unkempt, with long hair hanging down, covering his face above his nose.

　Hearing Lily's call, Soma merely raised his head, glanced at Roy and the others through his hair, and then continued brewing the divine wine. Roy said, "Soma, your clan members have been swindling and cheating people in Orario to obtain the divine wine, bullying the weak for money. Now that we have suppressed them, could you please step forward to take charge?"

　Soma acted as if he hadn't heard.

　Seeing this, Ryu, Daphne, and Cassandra were unsure what expression to make. Any deity would react with obvious emotion—anger, worry, or concern—when their clan's child is harmed.

　But the Soma god before them was completely different.

　Despite the suppression of his own clan, he remained indifferent, keeping his doors tightly shut and continuing to brew wine, as if nothing in the world concerned him—a pure attitude of utter indifference towards Soma. Roy paid no attention to this and instead said, "You must be very disappointed that everyone in your clan is so engrossed in the deliciousness of the divine wine." Soma's stirring stick stopped.

　Ryu and the others stared at Roy in disbelief. It was a miracle that they could actually distract this god.

　"Lord Roy, what do you mean?" Lily asked, her eyes trembling.

　Roy said with compassion, "Most gods descend to the mortal realm because they are interested in humans; otherwise, they would definitely stay in the heavens as omnipotent gods."

　"Only things that once held great promise can cause such disappointment in the gods, making them blind to everything. The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment." Hearing this, everyone's spirits lifted. Recalling Roy's earlier words, they seemed to understand something—the root of the Soma Familia's current chaos. Soma slowly raised his head, gazing at Roy. It was an outsider who had understood his inner thoughts.

　After Soma descended to the mortal realm, he remained as obsessed with brewing fine wine as he had been in the heavenly realm. However, brewing fine wine was expensive, so he established a clan for his own interest and to accompany his children.

　However, the clan hadn't earned much money. To motivate his members to work harder, Soma decided to reward them with his own homemade divine wine. But to his surprise, the members who tasted the wine were overwhelmed by its euphoric effects, becoming addicted to it to the point of madness. This greatly disappointed Soma.

　After that, Soma refused to interfere in the internal affairs of the clan and turned a blind eye to the chaos within the clan.

　Lily's face was pale. She had originally thought that the chaos in the Familia was caused by Soma God's neglect.

　But the root cause was that the members of the clan couldn't control themselves. After tasting the deliciousness of the divine wine, they became decadent and used every means to raise money and buy materials, just to make Soma continuously brew the divine wine.

　What could Soma do seeing all this? Kick all the members out of the clan? That would be a lose-lose situation; he could only choose to turn a blind eye. Roy said, "Soma, how about a bet? If someone can drink your divine wine and remain sober, you will have to manage the clan properly from now on."
