I, without any personality, become a hero!

"How could I possibly trust you and listen to you!"

The answer is obvious. Leo naturally wouldn't believe what Fimto said. Even if everything the "Fallen King" said was true, he would still suspect that there might be some conspiracy involved.

"It seems you really don't like me, but it doesn't matter!"

"In short, young man, your role is very important from now on. Please stay in this game and don't do anything strange, otherwise we can't guarantee that your sister won't be subjected to some strange modifications."

"You bastard!"

Leo's eyes turned bloodshot upon hearing Fimto's threat, but the "Fallen King" nodded in satisfaction. That was the right way... Rather than going to great lengths to make him believe him, it was more effective to let him know that he was the villain and the enemy.

"Please stay here and be good from now on, bye-bye!"

After waving goodbye, Femto's figure vanished from the game space as a spirit, leaving behind only Leo, who was filled with anger but unable to vent it. His sister had fallen into the hands of "Paranoia King" Alygira, and this older brother really needed to think about whether his actions would bring danger to Michela.

For a Bloodline familiar with the ability to "stop time," separating his consciousness from his body and imprisoning him in the game world is a good solution, and as the supplier of the Dark Souls game, it is naturally the "Allergy King" Zedra.

As Fimto rose from the game pod, he waved to his colleague beside him in a friendly manner, while Zedra could only ask helplessly:

"Is this really a good thing to do? It feels like we've all become accomplices..."

"If you feel it's hard to refuse, that's fine, but you'll have to think twice before that person causes you trouble later?"

"......"

The undeniable "King of Allergies" – after hearing what Fimut said, it's indeed very troublesome. On one side is a friend with a pretty good relationship, and on the other side is a jinx who comes knocking on your door at will. It's definitely better to just survive.

Information available:

The three, "Fallen King," "Paranoia King," and "Allergy King," have now become Nyarlathotep's accomplices. Among them, Fimto serves as (the warhorse), Arigira as (the bishop), and Zedra as (the chariot). These three have become very important pieces in this game.

The reasons why things turned out this way are very complicated to explain, but the threat of "Nyarlathotep" is definitely involved. The specific content of the coercion can be referenced based on the current situation of "Despair King". Faced with the intimidation of this terrifying evil goddess, even the thirteen kings of the other world would have to protect their own lives.

This is a game hosted by Nyarlathotep, so everything must be done according to the rules of the game, starting with the constraints on the game pieces.

The black pieces must represent an identity from another world, and these idle individuals, who are the thirteen kings of another world, fit the bill perfectly. They are also the perfect choices to be pieces, since the mastermind behind the scenes needs at least a few respectable subordinates.

The white piece must represent humanity, and "Libra," who protects the stability and peace of the human world, is suitable for the role. However, compared to the threat level of the Thirteen Kings of Another World... to be honest, "Libra" is too weak.

This was a game where the strength was unbalanced from the very beginning, and there was another situation... Nyaruko made a move first, leaving Leonardo Watch in a state of imprisonment and unable to move.

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

"I have a question?"

"Go ahead and ask! What do you want to ask, Midoriya-kun?"

The two sat at the chessboard. Midoriya Izuku stared at the chessboard in front of him, deep in thought, and asked Nyaruko, who was sitting across from him, a question.

"As you said, Fimto is now a piece in this game, but according to the rules of chess, if I capture him with white pieces, how is the result determined?"

"Midori-kun, that's a good question. If it's the white piece that's not strong enough, of course it will be captured instead."

"hehe....."

Izuku Midoriya sneered, he even wanted to shove Nyaruko's face with a fork right then and there. This guy really dared to say that... According to the rules of chess? What kind of chess is this? Chess has turned into a game of animal fighting!?

"Come on! Don't be so angry. After all, this game of chess is connected to the real world. It's already quite rare to get these guys involved to help. If we let them die so easily, they'll quit any minute."

"Besides! As a regular game planner, I only have half the number of pieces as you in this game, which is fair, right?"

Seeing Nyaruko's cheerful explanation, Izuku Midoriya couldn't help but have a thought... he really wanted to hit her. Now he understood why Nyaruko's brothers and sisters all wanted to kill her. It was truly outrageous that she was still alive.

Unwilling to comment on the despicable rules of this game, Izuku Midoriya could only continue studying and contemplating the game, without making a single move... He needed to figure out what to do next.

On the black and white chessboard, Nyarlathotep materialized a black piece, "War Horse" Fimto, which moved two pieces to the front and took the lead in opening up the battle.

However, next to this "warhorse" is a red chess piece, not white... nor black, but a blood-red color.

"Leonardo Watch..."

“As a member of the Blood World, Leo does not belong to either humans or the other world, so we will keep him isolated for the time being. After all, he may very well become a valuable pawn for you, Midoriya.”

"You really are shameless."

"Thank you for the compliment!"

This is a game where the fate of the world is placed on a chessboard, absurd and incomprehensible, but it was Nyarlathotep who prepared it all. This evil god has always acted solely according to his own desires.

Leo was isolated as a pawn of a third-party force, and then the problem arose... Why would Nyaruko do such a thing in such a high-profile manner? So Izuku Midoriya spoke up directly.

"Leaving aside the other two, that guy Fimto alone is capable of crushing this game by himself, so why would he deliberately make this move?"

"Because ultimately this is just a game of chess, it's impossible for one side to have a completely overwhelming strength. So even if one side's pieces are powerful, their offensive capabilities won't be very strong."

"I see......"

Upon hearing Nyaruko's words, Izuku Midoriya suddenly realized that it was the three otherworldly thirteen kings who were just slacking off. Although they were forced by Nyaruko's threats to work for her as pawns, they couldn't possibly be wholeheartedly working for this troublesome evil god. While they might not be outwardly compliant, they were definitely slacking off.

"Games are more fun when they're evenly matched. I currently have three 'Thirteen Kings' pieces. They might not be very aggressive, but have you considered how to deal with them in this game, Midoriya-kun?"

"That's why I wanted to say... what kind of chess is this? You might as well just tell me that we're playing cards or Yu-Gi-Oh!"

"Don't worry about such details. A duel is just part of the game. If you're not happy, don't play."

"hehe....."

This was the umpteenth time Izuku Midoriya had sneered. He found that ever since he came into contact with Nyaruko, his mental endurance had been steadily increasing... This girl was truly awful, leaving him feeling powerless and unsure where to even begin to criticize her.

Chaos...disorder...perhaps this is the best description of Nyarlathotep, but Izuku Midoriya always has a very frustrating feeling, as if he is playing a game with a husky, which can always jump to an unexpected place in the next second.

"Now let me see what you're going to do, Midoriya-kun, hehe!"

Can I use hero abilities?

"What?"

"Deal x2 damage to enemy heroes with a fork."

"NO!!"

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

Libra is in complete chaos. Leo has been kidnapped by the Fallen King, and even his sister Michelle has been abducted by the Paranoid King. At this moment, Klaus is filled with self-blame.

"There are too many questions right now, I don't know where to begin, but Klaus... has there been any notification from 'Fang Hunt'?"

"Hmm... The 'FangGrey' headquarters instructed us to protect this artificial bloodline familiar and wait for headquarters to send someone to take it over."

"Is that so...? That sounds absolutely terrible."

After a brief conversation with Klaus, Stephen realized this was hardly good news. Instead of ordering Klaus to immediately seal the artificial bloodline familiar with its true name, he was preparing to send someone to take it over... It seemed there was some kind of deal with the higher-ups of the human nation.

But there's really no other way. After all, the power of the Blood Realm Familiars is extremely important to humans right now, and at the very least, we absolutely cannot let the other world take advantage of us.

"And now things are really complicated. Why did the 'Fallen King' kidnap Leo, and even take Leo's sister with him? I'm very worried about this situation..."

Klaus looked worried, while Zapp, unusually calm, lit a cigarette, exhaled a smoke ring to relax, and said to his boss:

"Don't worry! That 'Wicked King,' isn't Izuku Midoriya our most reliable friend? I've already told him about Leo's situation, and we can't interfere much in what happens next."

"Sigh... I've caused you trouble again, Lord Midoriya."

At this moment, none of the Libra members doubted Izuku Midoriya's stance, because their previous interactions had made them understand what kind of person this "Wicked King" was. Under such dire circumstances... Libra was willing to believe in and place their hopes on Izuku Midoriya.

"Zap Renfro"

"Who?"

The sound that suddenly rang out at the "Libra" headquarters startled Zapp the moment he heard it. He realized that it seemed that only he had heard the sound, and everyone else present had not heard it at all... Moreover, the voice was very familiar, it was the "Extreme Evil King" whom he had asked for help not long ago.

"While I'm glad you trust me, there's nothing I can do to help you now, so!"

"Use your power against me."

"what?!"

Zapp, bewildered, then in the next instant, he felt as if his soul had detached from his body, and he found himself on a vast black and white chessboard, transforming into a "warhorse" and galloping forward.

In just a moment, everyone in "Libra" saw Zapp suddenly lean weakly against the wall as if he were under tremendous pressure, and he was still breathing deeply.

"What's wrong, Zapp?"

"It's nothing, boss... I just need to go somewhere soon."

Without sharing everything he knew with the members of "Libra," Zapp went alone to carry out the orders he had received—a game where he could only win and not lose.

Zapp's hasty departure from "Libra" surprised everyone. The bald Zapp, who was burdened with many important matters, suddenly seemed like a different person. Did he discover something was wrong?

"Should I go with them and take a look?"

"No need... Trust Zapp, he's never let us down... probably...?"

He spoke uncertainly, but Klaus didn't let the invisible werewolf money follow him, after all, he had a more important mission to entrust to her next.

"I'd like to trouble you to go to 'Allergy King's' place, but this time it might be very dangerous."

"what happened?"

“Based on what you’ve seen, both ‘King of Despair’ Fimtor and ‘King of Paranoia’ Alexira have taken action. I feel this matter is far from simple… It’s possible that ‘King of Allergies’ Zedra will also become our enemy, so I want you to go and gather intelligence… but it will be very dangerous.”

"No problem, leave it to me."

She didn't dismiss the mission because she thought it was too dangerous. She understood the pressure Klaus was under, and as a member of "Libra," it was necessary to share the burden with the leader. After all, everyone had already prepared to make sacrifices when they joined the organization.

While the group had just finished arranging their mission at the "Libra" headquarters, Zapp had already met up with another person outside.

"Haha! Long time no see, Mr. Zapp."

"This is the first time I've worked with you alone, Dogu Bloodhammer."

"What do you mean by 'working alone'? And what about me?!"

"Oh...right, and you, Deldoro."

They greeted each other familiarly. The people Zapp met on the street were none other than Dogu Bloodhammer, the boyfriend of "Paranoia" Alykira, and Deldoro. As the saying goes, the boss needs to be taken away by the appropriate tank.

"Warhorse" Zapp and "Chariot" Bloodhammer have begun their operation!

"Wait! Why did you make two moves at once? That's a foul!!"

"Huh? Someone who cheated right from the start has the right to speak like this?!"

"Well........"

Chapter 121: The Beginning

The city shrouded in mist, "Helsaremz Roth," is the crossroads between the otherworld and humanity. This city will be the chessboard for determining fate, and the upcoming game will unfold here.

The dangerous and deadly joke is the game of chess hosted by Nyarlathotep, whose rules are arbitrary and incomprehensible, yet they are intertwined with the future fate of these two worlds.

It is the god who weaves destiny; the threads in the god's hand will determine and manipulate the future fate of mortals. This is an irreversible game of victory and defeat, and if we lose... Nyarlathotep will surely laugh and destroy the human world.

Similarly, if Nyarlathotep wins this game, as the loser, she will also abide by the rules and destroy the other world... To this ancient evil god, the people of the other world are probably just insignificant ants, just like humans.

Whether she wins or loses, Nyarlathotep will not suffer any loss, but the same applies to Izuku Midoriya.

To put it irresponsibly, this world has little to do with him. In the end, his participation in Nyarlathotep's event was solely to prevent the other world and humanity from being poisoned by the evil god; it was an action driven purely by his conscience.

This is just a game. Nyarlathotep is absolutely right. For her, a demon god who is older than the world itself, and for Izuku Midoriya, who has grown to an unprecedented level, the survival of the two worlds is really just a game.

Having reached his current level, Izuku Midoriya finds the existence of humanity as a whole meaningless, much like the situation of "Fallen King" Fimtor. For him, bringing about the end of the world is merely an idea, and all he needs to do is take action.

Humanity's strength lies in its collective strength; the state apparatus can destroy anyone who dares to defy its laws, but it is meaningless to beings that are completely beyond human comprehension.

This is the current situation that Izuku Midoriya is in. His power has exceeded the scope of "humanity", and is even stronger than all of humanity combined. Now, all he can do is accept the ideas he used to resist.

People grow and, as they rise to a higher level, their understanding of things changes. When faced with situations where choices are not easy to make, the decision to make trade-offs becomes necessary.

In the current situation, as Izuku Midoriya understands it, the best outcome in this game of Go, which was invited by Nyarlathotep, would be a draw. However, things are never that ideal... So, if things don't go as planned, then let's go all out for a win!

The other world will be destroyed if humanity wins. Perhaps this is just a joke by Nyarlathotep, but the chances of her actually doing it are almost 100%. Even if she reneges on her promise, it doesn't matter. Izuku Midoriya would definitely be happy to see this happen, but that's impossible... Nyarlathotep will definitely choose to commit to the game's outcome.

Why do such a thankless task? Because it's Nyarlathotep's interest. This evil god is happy to see what he expects happen. Besides, whether it's humans or beings from another world, they are all too insignificant. Whether they live or die is entirely up to the evil god's whims.

Before playing this game, he had already considered the worst-case scenario. Although the outcome was actually not of much concern to Izuku Midoriya, this "Worst King" still made a judgment.

The best outcome is a draw, which, according to the game rules, preserves both worlds. If things go wrong, the goal is to win the game and protect the human world, even if it means sacrificing the other world.

It's not that he has any prejudice against people from another world. After all, Midoriya traveled to another world for a while half a year ago and helped the people there solve two huge problems. But now, under these circumstances, he would not hesitate to choose to protect humanity first.

Because Izuku Midoriya is human, regardless of whether he is in another world or not, he will always prioritize the interests of humanity when making judgments and decisions.

Living in this world is inherently a dog-eat-dog world. Humanity's current level of development is inevitably built on many sacrifices: the continuous exploitation of Earth's resources, the slaughterhouses with thousands of poultry, the living conditions of other animals... all of this is real oppression.

Izuku Midoriya isn't a saint; he thinks and judges from his own perspective. Some unequal sacrifices exist, but they are necessary... The world cannot be filled with eternal equality and harmony, so even if the outcome is terrible, sacrificing the other world to save the human world is absolutely necessary.
