Chapter 378 Growth Speed Surpassing the Original Timeline
They are temporarily staying at a resort they developed themselves.
The luxury hotel, with over two thousand rooms, was enough for everyone to enjoy themselves. They each chose a room they liked and happily checked in.
Having vented their anger over the destruction of the Star Garden, the girls were in high spirits. After bathing, changing, and eating their fill, they went out together, eager to experience the thrilling roller coasters and other exciting rides. They were the first guests here.
Joyful laughter echoed throughout the entire amusement park.
The roller coaster here has a maximum speed of 250 kilometers per hour, and there are other weightless rides, but for girls who are high-level and often fight in hellish environments like dungeons, it's nothing.
But the fun of games isn't about what you play, but who you play with. Playing with your best friends, even the simplest game like cat's cradle, can be incredibly enjoyable.
Roy spent some time with the girls, pondering what to do next. It was time to find a competent general manager for the resort.
Involving more than a dozen industries such as entertainment, catering, and accommodation, this place can provide at least several thousand jobs for Oralari, which also means that the work is extremely tedious and complicated, and not something that ordinary people can handle.
None of their own girls are cut out for this, not even Lily, who has grown up.
However, Roy had already found someone.
It's her! Miss Eina, the super humanities prodigy of the school district, a half-elf girl who passed the guild's exam with almost a perfect score!
Eina has almost finished gathering the information left behind by Zeus and Hera's Familia; she must bring it over!
Before that, there is one more thing to deal with.
The hotel's top floor features a luxurious presidential suite.
Roy sat imposingly on the sofa, with Astraea on his left and Kaguya and the others on his right.
"Drink it."
Roy took out a bottle of epic-grade celestial elixir and tossed some to Kaguya and the other five girls. Each of them drank a portion, and their injuries from fighting Chloe and Lunova, as well as the remaining toxins, were healed and purified.
"Thank you, Captain!" Kaguya nodded gently. What a miraculous elixir! The other girls also expressed their gratitude.
Afterwards, Chloe and Lunova, bound hand and foot, were taken to the living room, where Daphne, at level 6, pinned them to the ground, a pure numerical crushing defeat.
I don't know which girl had the weird sense of humor to use the tortoise shell bondage method, but Roy and Lunova were curvaceous and alluring.
"cough!"
Roy coughed lightly. He was a gentleman, at most giving them a few more critical glances before muttering, "What should we do with you?"
Chloe and Lunova's hearts skipped a beat. The latter exclaimed, "Didn't you say you wouldn't kill us?!"
Roy: "I never said I'd let you off the hook!"
Roy and Lunova gritted their teeth, wishing they could bite a piece of Roy off.
Roy gave a mocking smile. "Isn't that frustrating? That's just how frustrating life is!"
Kroy and Lunova's eyes lost their color; they were doomed. Having witnessed countless moments of darkness, they knew that sometimes living was more painful than dying.
"Giggle giggle!"
Astrea smiled as she watched Roy tease the two people. If Roy wanted to kill them, he could finish them off with a single sword strike; he wouldn't waste any time!
Roy had his reasons for doing this.
Kaguya, standing nearby, chimed in, "Captain, could you please let them go?"
Chloe and Lunova looked up abruptly, staring at Kaguya in disbelief. It was a strange feeling that their mission target would plead for them.
"oh?"
Roy looked at Kaguya meaningfully, "They were trying to assassinate you, and they even injured Noin."
"I didn't sense any murderous intent from them."
Kaguya shook her head. Her special skill, "Killing Sword Bloodline," gave her a keen sense of this. "I think they probably didn't intend to kill anyone."
Koro and Lunova were even more shocked.
In fact, their mission was to obtain information about the underworld and the resurrected dead.
They never intended to kill anyone.
They wouldn't dare kill anyone! If they were forced to reveal that information, they would escape Orario. The world is vast, and as long as no one is killed, the Astrea Familia is relatively small, making it impossible for them to hunt them down all over the world.
Kaguya's words, which revealed their inner thoughts, left Chloe and Lunova with mixed feelings.
"Captain, the toxin that catwoman used wasn't a lethal dose," Noin added, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to continue her actions, let alone fight.
The venom of the Poisonous Maggot can ignore the development ability "Abnormal Resistance". If the dosage is not reduced, it is comparable to the poison needle of the deep monster "Peruda" and can kill a LV.4 adventurer.
With the advance payment of 100 million Fali, Chloe has the resources and ability to concoct a deadly poison that can kill LV.4 adventurers. She used to assassinate LV.2 adventurers in the same way, which earned her a formidable reputation.
This time, however, he deliberately reduced the dosage, fearing that he might kill someone and be relentlessly hunted down by LV.7 adventurers.
"I see."
Faced with the two girls' pleas, Roy feigned hesitation and scrutinized them with his gaze.
Every time they were stared at, Chloe and Lunova felt a chill run down their spines and broke out in a cold sweat.
After a long while, Chloe was the first to succumb to the mental torment and shouted in despair, "Kill me or do whatever you want! I'm not afraid!"
"Let me go—" Lunova was also feeling physically and mentally exhausted, with a look of utter despair on her face.
Seeing that the time was right, Roy chuckled to himself, "Alright, you two don't deserve to die."
Chloe and Lunova immediately perked up.
Roy said, "Daphne, untie them."
"Yes, Commander!"
Daphne untied the specially made ropes from the two girls, and Kroy and Lunova regained their freedom. They moved their stiff limbs and were no longer able to cause any trouble here.
The two looked at Kaguya and Noin with gratitude, otherwise they would have been killed by the Great Demon King.
"However—" Roy changed the subject.
Koro and Lunova's hearts were in their throats again.
Roy grinned devilishly. "You may escape death, but you won't escape punishment. The compensation for damaging the Star Court and injuring members is one billion falies!"
"How many?!"
Kroy and Lunova's faces turned pale. They wouldn't be worth this much even if they were sold.
Roy laughed, "You'll have to work here until you pay this money back! Don't even think about running away; you know what I'm capable of—"
call out!
Before he could finish speaking, Roy activated his magic, and spatial fluctuations appeared, engulfing his figure.
The next moment, he appeared behind Chloe and Lunova, placing his hands on their shoulders, his devilish whispers echoing in their ears.
An indescribable chill ran from the soles of the two girls' feet straight to the top of their heads, numbing their brains. It was so fast, they couldn't react at all.
"Waaaaaah!"
What could the two say? Tears welled up in their hearts.
Even if they run to the ends of the earth, this great demon king will use spatial magic to bring them back.
We can't beat them in a fight, and we can't outrun them!
Having intimidated Chloe and Lunova, Roy told them to go back and rest, and enjoy everything the resort had to offer. Managing subordinates isn't just about intimidation; it also involves providing benefits. Otherwise, no one would be willing to work so hard as a tool.
Astraea watched Roy and Kaguya's performance quietly, one playing the good cop and the other the bad cop, successfully winning over the two LV.4 adventurers.
"call!"
Roy stretched, finally it was over.
Astraea smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
"My goddess, you have it so easy!"
Roy's eyes held a hint of resentment as he busied himself trying to recruit the two LV.4 adventurers.
With the rewards from the dungeon world, it's not difficult to raise a LV.4 adventurer if you're willing to spend the time. Trust and loyalty, however, are a problem. Unfortunately, innocent and kind children like Bell are a minority in this world; most are a bunch of scoundrels who only care about profit.
Roy didn't want to raise a bunch of ungrateful wretches.
It has been proven in the original timeline that Kroy and Lunova are of good character, and since they both want to retire, they will work honestly from now on.
Otherwise, why would Roy need to put on such a show?
Kroy and Lunova were the bodyguards he prepared for Eina; otherwise, it would be too dangerous for an ordinary person to manage a group worth tens of billions.
Two LV.4 adventurers, and my girl goes for a couple more walks, I guarantee no one will dare touch Eina.
"How rude of me! I've worked so hard too, just updating Tione and Tiona's stats, I feel like I'm about to become anemic—" Astraea pouted, put her hand to her forehead, and pretended to faint.
"hehe!"
This time it was Roy's turn to watch the other person's performance. Watching the old man pretend to be young was quite amusing.
Speaking of ability stat updates.
Through the friends interface, Roy could also see how much his girls had grown.
In the dungeon, when defeating the tainted fairy clones, everyone's total ability value increases by more than 150, which is quite good. For someone with slightly lower aptitude, it wouldn't exceed 100.
But accomplishing this great task is not enough!
Even when Haruhime was killed by a magical cannonball, she was able to briefly level up to LV.9 using her fairy fox form without any difficulty.
However, Chun Ji is not far from leveling up.
Great achievements are things that ordinary people can hardly do, making people feel that they are amazing. Awakening the rare and unique three-in-one magic "Fairy Fox Transformation" can also be considered a great achievement. If it is awakened alone, it is enough to upgrade! But with the help of the Absolute Magic Book, other great achievements must be added.
On the other hand, while defeating the corrupted fairy clone of the "Six Rings of Fairy Spirits," the other members of the clan also reaped great rewards.
Loki's entire Familia leveled up after defeating two filthy fairy clones in succession!
Finn, Riveria, and Grace have been promoted to LV.7!
Ais and Bert have been promoted to LV.6, Anachiti to LV.5, and Raul to LV.4.
Ellen from Freya's Familia has reached LV.7, traversing most of the sixty floors, and using magic to kill two tainted fairy clones, which is enough to accomplish a great feat.
Other attributes are slightly lower, while Finn's dexterity, Riveria's magic, Grace's strength and endurance, and Allen's agility are all upgraded with values close to S999, which is the limit for a regular genius.
This sudden addition of four LV.7 adventurers and two LV.6 adventurers to Orario caused quite a stir.
The attention of gods, adventurers, and the general public was drawn to it, which was one of the reasons why Roy dared to destroy the Golden City Paradise, minimizing the impact.
The Hall of Twilight.
"Hahaha, take off! I'm going to show off!" Loki's laughter rang out as he rushed out of the mansion and sprinted toward the Tower of Babel.
Finn gave a wry smile. "Bert, go protect her!"
"Why should I go?" Bert glared at Finn, baring his teeth as if he were about to bite him.
Finn said, "Moving around will help eliminate the physical and mental differences after the upgrade as quickly as possible."
"snort!"
Bert didn't argue further, snorted coldly, and leaped away, quickly chasing after his goddess.
The Loki Familia members inside the mansion barely suppressed their laughter. As expected of their leader, a master dog trainer!
"This feeling is stronger than any previous upgrade." Riveria clenched her small fist. As a mage, she was very sensitive to magic.
If she casts a spell now, she will definitely unknowingly consume too much or too little mental energy.
"Hmm, I really don't know how that boy and girl from the Astrea Familia did it?" Grace swung his fist, which was as big as a casserole dish, with such force that it created ripples in the air.
Ais calmly said, "Fight!"
"That's true, hahaha!"
The Loki Familia members were taken aback for a moment, then laughed. Yes, this was the simplest way.
"Bring on whatever schemes you have up your sleeve, Dionysus," Finn muttered to himself as Yaya leveled up to LV.7, feeling both guilty and full of heroic spirit.
The Astrea Familia, Loki Familia, Freya Familia, and the school district, along with other major forces, together comprise ten LV.7 adventurers. No matter what the evil god wants to do, they will thwart his plot and turn everything he prepares into resources for their own growth!
These are the adventurers of Orario!
Battlefield.
Allen's promotion to LV.7 caused a huge stir within the Freya Familia, with many valiant warriors staring in disbelief at the cat-man.
"Allen, I'll stand before you respectfully."
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
"How could that stupid cat possibly do that?"
"I should have gone on that expedition too!"
The most intense reaction came from the Shijinbing warriors. Apart from the eldest brother, Jakobah, who offered his congratulations, the other three brothers had red eyes, filled with envy and jealousy.
"A bunch of bastards, wanna fight? I'm not as gentle as an elf." Allen's expression was calm. If it were in the past, he would have been furious and started arguing with them, which would have eventually turned into a big fight.
But after the upgrade, Cheng's mindset changed.
Why bother with so many ants that aren't even enemies? If they insist on chattering, just stomp them to death!
"hateful!"
Seeing the cat-man's nonchalant demeanor, the warriors were grinding their teeth in frustration, as if they could see the figure of Ota, so high and mighty, looking down on everyone.
He Li snorted, "Nothing strange. It's only natural that the stupid cat found its sister."
In the Freya Familia, where strength is paramount, Allen, as the vice-captain, was second only to Ota and close to LV.7.
The person closest to Roy, after being taught a lesson by Roy, calmed down and found his family again, and naturally leveled up to LV.7.
"Hmph!"
Hegni covered his right eye. "On the path to vying for the goddess's favor, two overlords have appeared. Is this fate? How cruel! They must decide the victor, or everything in reality will crumble—"
"What are you saying?"
"I don't understand, sseumida!"
"He Le, translate this!"
"Aren't you the passenger's guardian?"
Each of the warriors spoke a sentence, provoking the sensitive nerve of the spirit.
A grid seemed to appear on He Li's forehead, radiating murderous intent. "Fools, do you want to die?"
Even so, He Li still translated, "He means, two groups of people are about to fight!"
Upon hearing this, everyone was shaken and immediately realized something: two tigers cannot share one mountain!
They are not the loving Astrea Familia and Loki Familia, but the Freya Familia, all of whom are vying for the love of that goddess!
The two, both at level 7, must prove their strength!
"You stupid pig, this day has finally come!" Allen raised his silver spear and pointed it at the tall pigman in front of him.
"bring it on!"
To this, Ota only had two words.
Boom! Boom! Boom!!
Under the watchful eyes of Zhehewei, Hegeni, Shijinpu warriors, Haici, and many other valiant warriors, the two sides began to fight on the vast plains, the sound of cannons exploding never ceasing.
Each explosion was accompanied by a cloud of dust.
With Y-Ya's upgrade, the cat-man who had not yet fully mastered the power of LV.7 was naturally no match for Ota.
Neither side used skills or magic; they fought purely based on their ability stats and development.
Allen was visibly losing ground, and after only fifty moves, signs of defeat began to emerge.
With each upgrade, Allen's agility would be honed to near S999, and his multiplicative attributes would also be increased whenever possible, never missing an opportunity to become stronger.
But Otto is even more ruthless than Nie!
Aside from magic, strength, durability, dexterity, and agility are all at or near S999!
Both are currently at LV.7. If Allen uses his agility and skill to maneuver, he could hold out for a while. But what he wants is to defeat his opponent, not to run away like a rat. Even if he wins through attrition warfare, the other person will not be convinced. Besides, who can outlast that dead pig?
Ota's skill "I fight, I swear" greatly increases his durability, allowing him to venture into the depths of the dungeon alone and fight for more than seven days without food or water!
As a member of the same clan, Eren knew all too well.
So, people who really pay don't take risks!
The result of the head-on confrontation was that, after hundreds of rounds, the catman was grabbed by Ota's right leg and slammed into the ground like a hammer, repeatedly tormenting him, causing the earth to tremble and shake continuously.
After three hours, Allen was on the verge of death.
The Freya Familia were not surprised by this outcome; after the great struggle, Ota had already sworn an oath at LV7.
Having spent over five years at this level, Allen's upgrade might be a match for him.
Allen's only chance to defeat Ota is to use magic, accumulate enough speed to convert into destructive power, and take down the tough-skinned pigman in one go.
But Ota wouldn't just stand by and watch his opponent get what he wanted. With the help of magic and the afterglow, a long-range slash would be enough to take his opponent's life!
"that's all!"
Ota's unwavering gaze swept over all the members of Freya's Familia, reaffirming his authority as the leader of the Familia and safeguarding the throne of the king.
It doesn't matter who comes to challenge me!
Ota took steady, powerful steps and walked out; the goddess's task was not yet complete.
As Ota passed by, Hercules asked, "Idiot, how does Allen compare to that possessive ghost?"
This question has attracted the attention of Freya's clan.
Ota and Roy fought in the dungeon, and the girls of the Astrea Familia and the members of the Loki Familia all witnessed it, and the news had already spread throughout Orario.
The battle between the old and new LV.7 levels has piqued the curiosity of countless people, leaving them feeling as if they have a cat scratching an itch.
If he were a LV.7 adventurer, the others might not be willing to take him on, but Allen was an exception. An ordinary LV.7 would not be a match for Ota, a veteran LV.7.
Only Roy, the boy who always challenges himself and succeeds, can pique people's interest in whether he can challenge the status of "the fiercest".
When this place was mentioned, Ota also took a step forward.
Without much thought, Otto answered purely on intuition, "He's stronger!"
"Understood." He Le adjusted his glasses.
The Freya Familia members were even more stunned, their faces as if struck by lightning. They knew exactly what it meant for the taciturn Ota to give such an evaluation.
"He's stronger" is tantamount to admitting that Roy is a Vow of the same level as Otto, a top-tier LV.7!
