In the trading city, Hotta Ichishu was deeply shocked upon hearing the news of the King's death.
It turned out that these guys were just negotiating with him here to delay time and make the King lower his guard.
He looked at the man before him and asked in confusion, "We already agreed to pay. Why did you do this?"
"Do you think we don't want interest?"
David smiled and leaned forward to tell him, "Please remember, our Gutman family never makes a losing deal, and we always maximize our profits in business."
"…"
Hotta Ichishu fell silent. With King dead, he had no support, and his words naturally carried no weight. He stood up and bowed, "I deeply apologize for the kidnapping of Miss Clos."
David put away his smile and waved his hand, "Goodbye~"
"Goodbye."
Hotta Ichishu turned and left the trading house. The moment he stepped out the doors, he hurriedly braced himself against the wall to remain upright as someone appeared, stabbing a blade through his throat.
Masaru Tatsuryu pulled out his dagger and walked into the trading hall.
Inside the trading hall, Ming was sitting on the sofa in the middle of the hall with Clos standing by his side, holding a small notebook.
Mike was leaning against the window, polishing a long knife on a piece of sandpaper. Hawkins sat on the other side, playing with two chrysanthemum plants.
Alan was squatting on the ground, feeding the big white rooster with some monster meat.
David smiled at Masaru Tatsuryu and said, "Congratulations on becoming the new King. What are you planning to do with the people locked up below?"
Masaru Tatsuryu said, "An old saying, a day of the emperor, a day of the minister, those who follow me prosper, those who oppose me perish."
David laughed, patted Masaru Tatsuryu's shoulder, and turned to look at the boss.
"Okay~ you continue, I have something to take care of at home, I'll go first."
Ming clapped his hands, stood up, and walked past David, "Give me the money from Bitter Gall later." Then he left the room, with Clos following closely behind.
…
When they returned home, it was nearing noon. It was Clos's first time at the boss's house, and she was surprised at how big the spider must be given the vast amount of cobwebs covering the area.
After reaching the top of the mountain, Digennaro came over leading the little bear, greeting the two.
Seeing the dozens of tiny braids in the bear's fur, Ming realized women were all the same.
Clos high-fived the bear, also giving it a bouquet of wildflowers picked from the prairie. The bear affectionately licked her face.
Clos stood stiffly in shock.
Digennaro laughed and said, "Sister Clos, the little bear treats you like family, that's why it did that. You're so lucky~ Your entire face got licked~"
[Your Da Vinci ran to the shining floral fields and told the little butterfly, "I had a dream about you last night, so it was a sweet dream!"]
[Your foodie was passing by and heard this. He paused blankly, then tapped the squirrel beside him, "If you were half as eloquent as Da Vinci, you wouldn't be single..." The squirrel tapped the little gray squirrel beside it, "If you were half as eloquent as Da Vinci, you wouldn't have been cheated on..." Little Gray turned and looked at the rat Bill beside it. "You're useless!"]
"~~"
Ming took out a frying pan and said to Clos, "After lunch, we can go back to the prairie."
"Alright."
Clos nodded. It was the first time the boss had invited her to stay for a meal... she was... quite looking forward to it~
Ming handed the frying pan to the woman, "Do you know how to use this?"
"!!"
A moment later, Clos finished cooking, and the three of them sat down to eat.
After the meal, Digennaro returned to 1521 where her believers were all eagerly waiting for her to come back. Clos went back to the prairie - after two days not seeing Kyomoto Jiro, he must have gotten skinnier.
[Your foodie was lying on the roof, watching the two women leave. It shook its head and slapped the squirrel next to it, "Ming, you really are disappointing..." The squirrel stared blankly at Foodie, "Ming is disappointing, what's it got to do with me?"]
[Your foodie slapped the squirrel again, "Want to get swallowed?"... The squirrel slapped the little gray next to it, "You really are disappointing..." Little Gray turned around, noticed that Little Bill was not by its side, and looked at the snail lying on the water plants by the pond, "Waste!"]
"~~"
Ming nestled into the sofa to rest. It had been a while since he chilled alone. Closing his eyes, all kinds of questions floated up and he decided to unravel a clear thread first.
The desert god Seth.
The war god Ares.
Yamata no Orochi.
They all have one thing in common, that is, the buildings in their respective areas are largely intact, while the people in those areas are either dead or disappeared. Plus, what Yamata no Orochi said today about the nine-stage tasks, advancing by swallowing...
Could it be...
Ming suddenly sat up as a chilling thought occurred to him. What if these so-called deities, just like himself and the people of the various zones, also "leveled up" through "killing", and the human zones were like "maps" for those "deities"?
"Huff~"
Ming took a deep breath, looking towards the fog. If we follow this speculation, would there be something like a human district... a 'gathering place for gods' deep in the fog?
The 'god...' that Yamata no Orochi didn't finish, could it be the secret deep in the fog?
If so, then this was a game created by the rules, between humans and "gods".
Humans versus gods - thinking this, he recalled the two conch shell fossils with the words: You're not strong enough yet!
Could that have been a well-meaning reminder?
"If that's the case."
Ming stared at the distant mists. I'll keep getting stronger, and when I reach a certain point, I'll see your true face. There was only one way to get stronger, and that was to slay gods!
Unknowingly, night had fallen. Ming summoned Chef to make him a table full of dishes and started eating.
[Your foodie let Medusa coil next to it and taught it the correct way to use its nine heads. See all the dishes on the table? Use one mouth to bite each kind and bring it back, place it on the plate, yes, like this~]
[Your foodie swallowed nine kinds of food, patting Medusa's body, "See, I'm eating so deliciously~ Go, get me another serving~]
[Your Da Vinci came to your feet, jumped onto your palm, and then hopped onto the table, and bumped into a foodie, "Your sister-in-law has become a cocoon again~" Foodie's eyes lit up, "You've regained your freedom~]
[Your Da Vinci patted the foodie's head, "Don't talk nonsense, I am a loyal frog~" Da Vinci looked at you, "Let's go to a place with clear mountains and clean water for a trip tomorrow~ I miss nature~]
"~~"
Miss nature? You want to flirt with other butterflies or something, right?
After dinner, it was already night. Ming sat on the roof, leaning against the little bear. Three frogs were lying on his crossed knees, and three single mice were at his feet.
He took out the [Mark of Yamata no Orochi] and embedded it on the [Shield of Ares], while learning the skill [Charge] that he obtained from Ares.
"War frenzy."
Ming stared at the other card in his hand, the natural talent Da Vinci had stripped off Ares.
[Zone - Battle Frenzy: Within a 10 km radius centered on self, for every 1000 casualties of people/zombies/monsters/mutants from battles, whether enemy or ally, gain random strength and constitution boosts until the zone closes.

Now, he has two domain talents:
ραΠdαsΝοvεl.cοm Zone - Battle Frenzy

Heavenly Cloud Sword?
Ming took out a samurai sword flashing with a cold light and looked at it:
