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

　Because Roy revealed his inner thoughts, Soma became slightly interested in Roy. "If it were you, I have no doubt that you could remain sober." Roy at LV.3 must have the ability to develop "abnormal resistance," which would reduce the side effects of the divine wine.

　“It’s not me, it’s her!” Roy shook his head and shifted his gaze to Lily.

　"Eee ...

　When she was six years old, the greedy Chanis Lustra became the leader of the Soma Familia, and the chaos within the Soma Familia worsened. Lily was also persuaded by Chanis to drink the divine wine and became obsessed with it.

　Unable to raise any more money and bullied by her clan members, she was forced to flee. By chance, she was taken in by an elderly couple who ran a flower shop. "Believe in yourself, you can do it." Roy crouched down and looked into Lily's eyes. His calm demeanor quickly infected the little girl, helping her to regain her composure.

　Roy knew that Soma's "illness" lay with his own family. As an outsider, even if he drank a dozen jars of divine wine, he could not shake Soma's heart. Only a member of Soma's family could do so.

　"Drink it and prove it to me."

　Out of respect for Roy, Somo, who had already been disappointed in Lily once, placed a jar of fermented divine wine in front of her. The pungent aroma, deeply ingrained in her senses, made Lily's face turn pale. She felt only fear, no attachment, towards the divine wine. Encouraged by Roy's gaze, Lily reached out her small hands, picked up the jar of wine, and took a small sip.

　The terror of the divine wine has nothing to do with how much you drink; even a single drop will have the same effect.

　Lily's petite body stiffened, her eyes glazed over, her face flushed, and she licked her rosy lips, transforming into a greedy little devil. Daphne and Cassandra looked worried, and Liu's hand gripping the wooden sword tightened.

　"It seems you've lost," Soma mocked, yet also seemed to be mocking himself. He had absolute confidence in his divine wine; even the gods would be captivated by it. "That's not necessarily true."

　Roy shook his head and said, "Soma God, perhaps you should have more faith in your own followers."

　The next moment, Lily drew the short sword from her waist and plunged it into her own thigh, blood splattering everywhere.

　The intense pain brought her back to a sliver of consciousness.

　Tears streamed down Lily's face as she choked back sobs, "Lord Soma, please, from now on, manage your clan properly!"

　Lily's movements were so swift that no one present could react in time. They stared at her in disbelief, marveling at her determination and ruthlessness. Even the usually composed Soma was startled and stood up.

　Lily was in tears. Her parents had never cared for her. She was only alive enough to remember things because Soma had looked after her as an infant. But ever since she was drawn to the divine wine, she had never been to Soma's room again.

　She cannot become addicted to the deliciousness of the divine wine, otherwise the flower shop will be destroyed, Soma will be completely disappointed in all his people, and Roy will lose the bet.

Chapter 141 Shocking Orario

　This was the first time a member of the household had drunk the divine wine and remained conscious. Soma, who had been living in despair, was understandably distraught. His gaze towards Roy held a complex mix of emotions; he, the chief god, understood his household less than an outsider—a true failure. Roy outwardly remained calm, but inwardly he breathed a sigh of relief. Before coming, he had specifically borrowed orchid perfume from the goddess Astraea. He had let Lily smell it beforehand, boosting her mental strength to a new level; otherwise, her meager abilities would have been instantly destroyed by the divine wine. Of course, Lily's willpower was not to be underestimated; Roy hadn't expected her to resort to self-harm.

　Soma's voice softened considerably as he asked, "Are you still willing to stay with the Soma Familia?"

　Lily's confused gaze lingered between Somo and Roy, a look of hesitation appearing on her small face.

　After a long while, Lily's eyes lit up. "Lord Somo, I'm willing to stay."

　No one was surprised by Lily's choice, not even Roy. He'd only known her for a day and already wanted to steal her away? What kind of Orario boy is this confident!

　Soma's face lit up with joy. "From today onwards, you are the leader of the Soma Familia!"

　Lily's mouth dropped open. At only ten years old, she had become the leader of a clan.

　The Supreme Deity has made the decision; there is no room for doubt.

　It took Lily a while to accept this fact, but she didn't seem particularly concerned about the title of captain, her eyes occasionally glancing at Roy. If Soma knew that Lily stayed behind to utilize the resources of this familia to better help Roy, he'd probably be furious. Roy, Ryu, Daphne, and Cassandra exchanged glances, a smile appearing on their faces.

　Just when everything seemed to be heading towards a happy ending, Chanis, who was dragged into the room, was plunged into deep despair. His power and his wealth were about to be taken away by a little human girl.

　Anger and resentment ultimately transformed into murderous intent.

　"ah!"

　Chanis let out a quack-like cry, grabbed a short knife from the table, and stabbed Lily viciously.

　The distance was less than two meters. No matter how incompetent Chanis was, he still had a LV.2 ability level. The sharp edge of the dagger instantly reached Lily's small head. Lily's pupils widened. The threat of death had never been so close to her.

　A dark figure appeared from the side, blocking the sword for her. It was Roy's hand; the dagger pierced his palm, and blood splattered onto Lily's small face. The sharp blade was less than a centimeter away from her.

　Pitter-patter! Pitter-patter!

　Golden lightning surged from Roy's other palm as he clenched his fist and struck Chanis in the face, the terrifying force blasting him out of the room. Ryu reacted almost simultaneously, swinging his wooden sword and striking Chanis in the abdomen.

　"kill him!"

　Seeing that Chanis dared to launch a sneak attack and even injure Roy, Daphne and Cassandra were enraged. They rushed out, wielding their staffs and swords, and in the blink of an eye, Chanis was killed, losing his life.

　"Noah heals!"

　Liu chanted rapidly, and emerald green light fell on Roy, stopping the bleeding from the wound on his palm.

　Lily stood beside him, tears welling in her eyes. Roy had been hurt because of her.

　Roy said, "I'm sorry, Somo, our people were too impulsive."

　"this is not your fault."

　Soma shook his head. Given Chanis's heinous acts, even if he survived, he would be imprisoned for life.

　A smile appeared on Roy's face.

　Originally, after Soma dismissed Chanis from his position as commander, he wanted to find an opportunity to let Chanis die quietly, but it seems there's no need for that anymore. It's over; no one will ever know again about his purchase of the divine wine from him.

　Soma opened the window, took out a jar of divine wine, and threw it into the square outside. The sound of the jar shattering as it hit the ground drew everyone's attention. The aroma of the wine filled the air, and the eyes of Soma's followers glowed green. Some even knelt on the ground to lick the wine, a truly shameful sight. But these drunkards didn't care.

　"Everyone, lay down your weapons!"

　Soma said in a deep voice, "I have relieved Chanis of his post as commander and dealt with him. From today onwards, I will personally handle all matters concerning the clan, regardless of their size!"

　Within the Familia, the commands of the Supreme God are supreme. Disobeying them can result in the loss of favors and being reduced to a Muggle. This is why Soma's previous inaction allowed Chanis to maintain control of the Familia.

　But once the gods get serious, who would dare to act recklessly?

　Originally, after Roy and his group entered the mansion, members of the Soma Familia secretly contacted each other, preparing to launch a counterattack, but now they had no choice but to lay down their weapons. Thousands of people knelt on the ground, a spectacular sight.

　As a pale white light appeared on the horizon, it signaled the end of the night's battle, ending with the suppression of the Soma Familia, the restoration of the main god's spirit, and a change in the leader.

　Outside of the Soma Familia, the entire Orario was in an uproar.

　Thanks to the words of the gods and adventurers who witnessed the battle yesterday, everyone learned that the Astrea Familia had suppressed the Soma Familia, which numbered in the thousands, with just four people. For a moment, everyone was speechless with astonishment.

　Liu dealt with some cadres through the back door, and in the eyes of the gods, the one who stood out the most was Roy.

　A forty-meter-long sword swept away the magic!

　Take the enemy general's head amidst a sea of ​​soldiers!

　The gods were so excited by what they saw that they couldn't sleep; they had come down to earth just to see this!

　The gods who hadn't gone to watch the battle were filled with regret; just from other people's descriptions, they could imagine how shocking the scene must have been. Some gods even went to the Court of Stars.

　"Astraea, give me the seed of justice, and I'll pay you ten million falies!"

　"Get the hell out of here! Ten million Fali? Go sit at the kids' table! Astraea, I'll offer a hundred million Fali to get Sprout of Justice to convert!"

　"I'll offer one hundred billion Familia members, all promising children!" Outside the Star Court, it resembled an auction. Faced with the persistent entreaties of the gods, Goddess Astraea ruthlessly swept them away. As for the miserable state of the Soma Familia...

　After Roy and the others revealed their evil deeds, the gods and adventurers applauded, saying, "Good riddance!"

　Most gods and adventurers aren't so much righteous indignation as they're disgusted by the divine wine! Selling them defective products—these unscrupulous merchants deserve to be whipped! How much money have they been swindled out of over the years?

　It turns out that people only become proactive and attentive when it comes to their own interests.

　The Astrea Familia launched a large-scale battle in the city, and the guild turned a blind eye, fining them tens of thousands of Fali. If the Astrea Familia were to be severely punished, the people of Orario would not agree.

　When the gods and adventurers turned around, they were astonished to find that Roy had wiped out three clans in just six months since his debut. He was ruthless.

　His reputation instilled fear in people.

Chapter 142 Soma Familia Vice Commander Roy

　After some maneuvering, Lily became the leader of the Soma Familia, but at only ten years old, she didn't know how to manage, so the main affairs were still handled by the god Soma, which wasn't easy.

　Soma regained his former energy, but only briefly. His only interest was brewing wine; once the passion subsided, he was overwhelmed by a series of problems. In fact, this was not Soma's fault.

　The gods of Orario are all like this. The gods only decide the general direction of the development of their clans, leaving the specific affairs to their subordinates. Letting them handle those tedious tasks is no different from taking their lives.

　Whoever caused the trouble should resolve it. Somo sent out more than a dozen invitations to invite Roy over.

　When Roy returned to the Soma Familia's encampment, the Soma Familia members he encountered along the way all harbored varying degrees of resentment in their eyes. If it weren't for Roy, they would still be enjoying the divine sake, and things wouldn't be in such a mess now.

　But these people only harbored resentment and dared not make a move. After that night of suppression, Roy had vaguely earned the title of the strongest LV.3 adventurer! Even LV.4 adventurers with low ability values ​​did not have absolute confidence in defeating Roy.

　Roy entered the mansion and went to Soma's study, where only the chief god Soma and Lily were present.

　Lily gave Somo a thorough makeover, cutting his hair short and removing his dirty work clothes. Upon closer inspection, he was tall and slender, a truly handsome man.

　The appearance of gods cannot be bad; they are born from chaos and are naturally perfect.

　It's just that I don't like to take care of it, which is why it turned out that way.

　Lily's face lit up with joy, "Lord Roy!"

　Roy chuckled, "Lily, you're now the leader of the Soma Familia, and I'm just an ordinary member of the Astrea Familia. There's no need to be so polite." "Lord Roy is Lord Roy!" Lily insisted, her respect undiminished.

　"Lord Roy, how is your hand?" Lily's gaze shifted to Roy's bandaged hand.

　Chanis's counterattack injured Roy.

　Logically speaking, LV.2 Chanis posed no threat to Roy; he only got into this state to save her, and Lily felt deeply guilty. "It's alright now. It just looks exaggerated. The bandages will be off in a couple of days," Roy replied. LV.3 stamina was no joke. Lily kept her head down.

　Seeing the somber atmosphere, Roy changed the subject, "How are things with the familia?"

　Mentioning this, Somo and Lily became even more dejected, their faces showing deep weariness. Managing a massive team of over six thousand people was incredibly difficult.

　Especially during this crucial period.

　Lily told Roy about the plight of the Soma Familia. Ordinary members were clamoring for alcohol, but Roy dared not speak out. Under the strong leadership, the situation was barely suppressed, but it could not be maintained for long. Many members with bad records had infiltrated the group and were causing trouble.

　The liquor distributors have repeatedly sent people to inquire whether there will be a stable supply of the "miracle liquor" in the next few months. If not, please pay the breach of contract fee...

　The contract, written in black and white, was laid out before me.

　The Soma clan is currently in dire need of rebuilding, so they don't have any extra divine wine to give to those distributors.

　In short, it was chaotic, so chaotic it was terrifying.

　Several officers, along with hundreds of clan members, suggested to Soma that Lily be replaced because she was too young and inexperienced. "…That's the situation, Lord Roy, what should we do?" Lily pleaded.

　Beset by internal and external troubles, Roy couldn't help but sigh. Why hadn't Lily run away with her bucket yet? The Soma Familia was a complete mess. Conquering a kingdom is easy, but ruling it is difficult.

　Roy could suppress the Soma Familia in a single night; it would take Lily at least a hundred times longer and more time and effort to manage it. Roy pondered, "I can help you solve this, but in what capacity should I do it?"

　As an outsider, his interference in other people's family affairs is overstepping his bounds and easily breeds resentment. Sometimes, strength alone cannot win everyone's respect. Moreover, Roy is not truly invincible.

　Soma knew this too, which was why he summoned Roy. "The Soma Familia is in chaos right now, so I'm asking you to be the vice-captain." Roy was taken aback. "Vice-captain...me?"

　Soma's boldness in appointing an outsider as the deputy leader of the clan surprised even Roy.

　You see, Soma can't take away his favors; if he wants to use his power for personal gain or harm the Soma clan, no one can stop him. "Yes, we want to appoint you as vice-captain!"

　Soma's expression was serious. His clan was in complete disarray; they had no idea who to trust.

　Roy is from the Astrea Familia, possesses great strength, and has a strong sense of justice. In order to help Lily, he suppressed the Soma Familia in one night. If they can't trust someone like him, who else can they trust?

　"Lord Roy, please, help us!" Lily's eyes trembled, afraid that Roy would refuse.

　Roy laughed; he was back to his old ways.

　“Alright, I’ll serve as deputy commander for now, and I’ll resign once the situation stabilizes,” Roy said.

　"Thank you!"

　Somo and Lily were delighted. They decided to keep him here for now; if he wanted to resign later, no way!

　With Roy confirmed as the vice-commander of the clan, the next question is: what should be done with the clan members?

　The Soma Familia has been nearly destroyed by Chanis. More than 6,000 members have been infiltrated by a large number of villains who have committed countless crimes for the sake of divine wine. Soma and Lily are in a great dilemma as to how to deal with these people.

　Roy's only answer to this was, "Eliminate them all!"

　Roy's decisiveness startled Soma and Lily; if things continued this way, the clan would likely suffer a major blow.

　Roy said, "Soma God, there is a saying: 'Hesitation leads to trouble!'"

　Su Mo's expression was conflicted, but he still agreed.

　Then the rest is simple.

　First, he summoned all the members of the clan and announced Roy's appointment, which, unsurprisingly, caused an uproar.

　Everyone stared in disbelief at Somo and Roy standing beside him.

　Appointing an outsider as the vice-leader is a first in Orario, no, in the entire world!

　"Lord Soma, please reconsider!"
