I, without any personality, become a hero!

But overall, the goal of this trip has been perfectly achieved. Rick witnessed Saitama's immense strength, and his heart is now filled with confidence and hope. Jibril, the God of War "Altsch," who conveyed this information to her master, is also full of expectations for Saitama.

The unfortunate one was the forest god "Kainas," who, after being put into a state of suspended animation, would have to wait countless years to be resurrected.

Saitama, who had just defeated the forest god "Kainas," and his group were preparing to return to the human village when an unexpected sound rang out.

"Excuse me, was it you who destroyed the capital of our Forest Elf race?"

Saitama turned around and saw a forest elf woman dressed in unusually revealing and erotic clothing. Without even turning his head, he instinctively said:

"Oh no, get out of here! I accidentally damaged someone's house, and now they're demanding compensation."

Seeing Saitama's guilty expression, Rick was speechless. This Saitama was indeed hard to understand... He had the power to kill even gods with a single punch, but he was afraid of the forest spirits coming to complain. It was really hard to know what to say.

"Oh? I remember you, you forest elf, I think your name is 'Sinko Nielbaren,' the culprit who caused me to fall and get six big bumps on my head."

"You really dare to ask! You accidentally stumbled into our battlefield, and then, with barely scratching wounds, you used 'Sky Strike' to destroy our capital. What an arrogant fool you are."

The Skywing and Forest Elf races were locked in a fierce confrontation. Seeing the battle intent about to erupt between the two women, Saitama cautiously asked Rick beside him a question.

"She didn't come here to ask me for compensation, did she?"

"No... I don't think so..."

Looking at the now-dead and transformed "Kainas" not far away, Rick didn't think the Forest Elves would dare to cause trouble for their bald hero Saitama, who had just killed them with a single punch.

"Hmph, I'm not here to argue with you about these trivial matters."

On the other side, the Forest Elf woman, who had stopped entangled with Jibril, turned her attention to Saitama, the unusually conspicuous bald human. Although it had only happened for a moment, Shinko Nielbaren, who was in charge of the entire Forest Elf capital's defense and protection battle, clearly understood what had happened.

The forest god "Kainas," who created the forest elves, was instantly killed with a single punch? Half of the entire forest elf capital was also destroyed. Fortunately, Shinko Nielbaren activated the protective spell of the great array in time to transfer all his compatriots in the city to avoid accidental harm. All of this happened in an instant.

Although she still couldn't believe what she had just seen, Hinco Nielbaren instinctively knew what to do. This cunning and scheming forest elf ruler was no fool.

"Excuse me, sir, was it you who defeated our chief god, Kainas?"

Shinko Nielbaren bowed to Saitama. Only their god, Kainas, could make the strongest forest elf, the "Flower Crown Lord," show such a submissive posture. However, since the forest god had already been punched to death, it was not shameful for Shinko Nielbaren to bow to Saitama.

"Ah... what's wrong? Didn't you come to ask me for compensation?"

"Sir, you must be joking. I would never do something so presumptuous."

Upon hearing Saitama's words, Shinko Nielbarn covered her mouth and laughed. Clearly, this forest elf "Flower Crown Lord" didn't take Saitama seriously. Only Rick understood that Saitama was probably not joking...

"Then what are you doing here, you forest elf? Do you want to avenge your god?"

Flying to Saitama's side, Jibril asked Hinco Nielbaren with an arrogant, condescending attitude, which, in the eyes of this winged girl, was the only possible explanation.

"Revenge... Do you think we would continue to sacrifice our lives for this incompetent 'Kainas'?"

"Ha...you really dare to say that!"

Jibril, who was displeased after hearing Xinke Nielbaren's words, should probably explain the difference between the Forest Elves and the Skywings. The Forest Elves are a race created by the forest god "Kainas". Like humans, they reproduce through male-female reproduction. Over time, the Forest Elves have only fear of their creator and no longer respect for him.

The Skywings are individuals created from the feathers of the God of War, "Altsch." These Skywing girls are loyal to their master to the point of sacrificing their lives. If the God of War, "Altsch," were to fall in battle, all the Skywings would surely not have the will to survive and would definitely sacrifice their lives to accompany their master in death.

Jibril disliked the forest elf woman's attitude towards the Creator, and she directly provoked her by saying sarcastically:

"The forest god 'Kainas' has just been defeated, and the forest elves can't wait to seek a new master? What a shameless bunch of bitches."

"Heh... Do you think the Forest Elves are brainless idiots like you Skywings? For us Forest Elves, the most important goal is to find a powerful backer to survive this great war."

Hinco Nielbaren, who had coldly retorted to Jibril, was immediately met with a furious outburst from the Flying Race girl:

"So what do you want to do, you bitch?"

"Hahahaha! Then there's only one answer: I will pledge my loyalty to this lord (referring to Saitama)!!"

Chapter 97 The World of Games (Part Thirteen)

The four returned to the human village, having perfectly achieved their objective. Saitama not only defeated the forest god "Kainas," but also unexpectedly gained the allegiance of the forest spirits. The result was truly better than expected.

Although Saitama himself did not give any deliberate reply at the time, Rick had a sudden inspiration and encouraged Saitama to promise Shinko Nielbaren's loyalty. It would be a fool not to agree to such an empty promise and free benefit.

Of course, Rick wasn't interested in the women of the Elves, although those "perverted Elves" were indeed dressed extremely provocatively...

Rick's goal is to end the war, and now with the help of Saitama, a hero who can easily defeat even gods, this goal is no longer wishful thinking. However, considering that humanity is too insignificant and insignificant, and that Saitama cannot stay here forever, Rick must make plans for peaceful alliances as soon as possible. He should take advantage of the current situation of Saitama using Saitama's power to gain more benefits for humanity.

Rick was still pondering what to do next, while Saitama, having just swallowed a piece of grilled meat, asked Jibril, who was also trying to eat grilled meat beside him.

"I think there's someone else coming up next, right?"

"Hey hey, it's Okan, the chief god of the goblins. He's a deity born from the concepts of forging and invention. Our next task is to defeat him."

"By the way, why are you fighting? Is that thing called the One God really that powerful?"

Although Saitama himself has simple goals and doesn't like to think too much, he is still somewhat interested in things that cause the gods of this world to fight each other to the point of near destruction.

"The One God is an existence that has the authority to erase and recreate the world at will, which means that it can create a world that conforms to its own desires."

"Oh, I see. How boring."

Upon hearing Jibril's answer, Saitama, who suddenly lost interest, couldn't help but ask curiously:

"Don't you ever dream of seizing the 'Star Cup'? To become the sole god and create the world you desire at will."

"That's why I said it's boring. My interest is in being a hero, but as a hero, I don't want to see anyone in the world needing me. Can such a contradictory world exist?"

"Uh......"

Hearing this, Jibril felt somewhat embarrassed and conflicted. It seemed that Saitama's words were indeed true. Even the One God couldn't create a world that was inherently contradictory and flawed.

"However, now that you mention it, perhaps the 'Star Cup' really does have some use."

Saitama, who rarely gets to ponder things, has a bold idea!

--------------

"Let's go!"

Goodbye, and be careful!

Chronie, who was saying goodbye to Rick and Saitama, was surprised to find that Saitama was so powerful that he could easily defeat the Forest Spirit's chief god, "Kainas." Feeling that humanity was saved, Chronie was filled with hope and anticipation for the future.

However... in the afternoon...

"We're back..."

Seeing the dejected group, Kloni was somewhat stunned and confused. Could something terrible have happened? Thinking of this, the older sister quickly asked her younger brother.

"Rick, what's going on here...?"

"Tsk... I miscalculated."

"well.....?"

She was even more confused until Rick explained everything to Chloe, at which point she finally understood what had happened, which was truly remarkable.

Upon arriving at the goblin capital, Rick used his old trick of mocking the forest god "Kainas," but this time it was completely ineffective; the blacksmith god "Okan" didn't even pop up.

Even when Hughie and Jibril tried to find the location of "Okan" using various sensory methods, it didn't matter. How could a god be discovered if he wanted to hide?

If you suggest using methods like massacring entire cities to force the God of Forging, "Okan," to emerge, aside from whether the chief god of the goblin race would care about the lives of his kin, Saitama himself would not agree to such an approach.

The news of the forest god "Kainas"'s downfall spread faster than Rick had imagined. After learning that the chief god of the forest spirits was dead and that he was the next target, he thought, "Okan, if he's out of his mind to come out and die, is really more troublesome than I thought. I can't find where he's hiding at all."

They searched the goblin capital for a while, but unfortunately the God of Forging, "Okan," was hiding and wouldn't come out. Instead, he was surrounded and entangled by the little goblin girls, and it took him a lot of effort to escape.

This time it really was a failure, not in battle, but because who would have thought that the God of Forging, "Okan," would even abandon his dignity and hide away? It's truly frustrating.

Having no choice but to abandon their objective for the time being and return to the human tribal settlement, Rick, still somewhat resentful, asked:

"Won't even the God of War 'Altho' provide the coordinates? The God of Forging 'Okan' is hiding, there's absolutely no way to help."

"My master only sent me as a messenger to assist in guiding the way. Besides, didn't I also help search for the location of 'Okan'? You won't even let me use 'Sky Strike' to directly blow up the goblin's home ground."

"Want to get beaten up?"

Upon hearing Saitama's words, Jibril, who immediately covered her head and crouched to the side in fright, was already traumatized.

Saitama, of course, disagreed with using overly violent methods. He preferred to resolve the matter peacefully. The last incident was purely a mistake. He was just a little too excited after being called "bald" and then his hand slipped.

"There's no need to rush, we can search slowly."

"That being said, but..."

Rick sensed that the situation wasn't very optimistic. If the God of Forging, "Okan," was truly hiding and wouldn't come out, there was simply no good way to find him. Moreover, Saitama had said that... perhaps his companions would repair the teleportation device and bring him back soon, leaving Rick with very little time.

After all, Saitama is a powerful figure. If the powerful figure leaves, the weakling can only wait to die. Thinking of this situation, Rick was still a little anxious.

“Rick.…”

"What's wrong, Shubi?"

"Shuby wants to go for a walk with Rick..."

"Uh... okay."

Although he didn't know what was wrong with Shubi today, Rick still agreed to the machine girl's request and left the village together as evening approached.

They didn't go too far, but were on the mountaintop where Rick and his villagers lived. Saitama had said that he felt uncomfortable because there was no sun that morning, so he punched away the dark gray clouds in the nearby sky, and the villagers saw the sun after many years.

As evening approached, Rick and Shubi, having reached the summit, sat at the highest point, gazing at the rare, brilliant stars in the sky. No black dust fell, nor were there any dark clouds obscuring the sky; it was truly a rare day of peace and tranquility.

“Rick, Shubi can sense... you're very anxious..."

"Well, because we didn't see 'Okan' today, our plan, which seemed to be going smoothly, has failed. It's ridiculous and pathetic that there are even gods who are afraid of humans and hide away."

Originally, humans born into this world had to hide like rats to survive in this hell. If they were discovered by other races, they would not escape death. However, now... after Saitama, a human from another world, came here, the situation has changed ridiculously. The gods who were once regarded as untouchable by humans have now hidden themselves like rats.

"I'm sorry, Shubi couldn't help Rick..."

"It's okay."

He placed his hand on Shubi's head. Although the machine girl's body was made of steel and didn't feel comfortable to touch, Riku still gently stroked Shubi's head and said in a rare happy tone:

"My luckiest thing is meeting Shubi! Because of you, I was able to come up with a plan to end this great war."

"Didn't Riku only have this idea because he met Saitama?"

"Haha! Although meeting Saitama is the greatest honor of my life, it was Shiro who brought me courage and hope. Even if I hadn't met Saitama... perhaps this overconfident fool would have wanted to challenge and end this great war."

"Shubi... I don't understand... I didn't help Rick much at all..."

"I see..."

Upon hearing the machine girl's question, Riku didn't offer any explanation; he simply expressed his feelings through his actions.

Rick held the cold, sturdy body of the mecha girl named Shubi tightly in his arms.

"Because of my presence, I can do things that I never thought of before, things that seem like foolish. As long as Shubi and I are together, I have the courage to challenge this hopeless world."

"Shubi... still can't understand what Rick is saying..."

"Well, let's put it this way!"

Having finally mustered his courage, the human boy Riku boldly addressed the cyborg girl embracing him, declaring:

"Shubi, let's get married after this war is over!!"

Chapter 98 The World of Games (Part Fourteen)

Rick's confession was successful, but unfortunately, Shubi overloaded and crashed on the spot. It seems that the proposal was too destructive, and even a machine girl like Shubi could not withstand the data overload.

The next day, Riku and Saitama went to the goblin capital again. After spending a whole day searching with Jibril and Shubi taking turns, they still couldn't find the location of the forging god "Okan".

As for Saitama, fighting is no problem, he can handle it... but forget about finding your way around or finding people. Saitama got lost for half a day on Boros's spaceship, so this bald hero's skill point allocation method is clearly problematic.

"This won't do; things can't go on like this."

Rico's anxiety grew, and he asked Jibril again.

"Is the God of War 'Althesh' not going to offer any help? The God of Forging 'Okan' has been hiding and we can't find him anywhere."

"Unfortunately, as my master said, if one cannot even find and defeat a rat hiding its head and tail, then one is not qualified to show himself for a challenge."

"Damn it... In the end, the God of War 'Altho' is just going to watch the show!"

Rick was furious. He was naturally very angry. To the gods, it might just be an interesting game, but to the humans of this world, it was a battle for the hope of the future.

They pinned their hopes on Saitama, believing that this bald hero could end the war and bring peace, and that for the weak and humble humans of this world, this was the only way out.

Humans are not gods. Perhaps the God of Forging, "Okan," could hide underground for decades without any problem, but human lifespan is finite. Rick cannot guarantee that Saitama will not leave this world soon. If this endless war cannot be ended in a short time, it will be meaningless.

“Rick.…”
