Chapter 2062 The Definition of the Strongest
"..."

The multi-faceted hybrid glanced at Guild Master Zero, who was giving him a provocative smile, shook his head, turned and disappeared into the shadows among the branches, his whereabouts unknown.

"Eh~ There's no option to join the battle? Did they realize I planned to kill him along with them? What a pity~~"

Guild leader Zero sighed with genuine regret. These mysterious, enigmatic figures who suddenly appear are usually key figures in normal events, either the true final boss or characters who die before the final boss.

Since he's going to die anyway, might as well let him off easy.

"Alright, I won't ignore you anymore."

Guild Master Zero looked at the orc sitting on the throne. The orc was awakened by his murderous aura, but remained seated on the throne without any reaction, looking at him lazily.

There was no contemptuous mockery, but rather a genuine disregard.

"One shot later, I've already brought you back to the event center with your head in my hand... It seems there won't be that kind of development."

[Candidate: Great Red Dragon Beast God LV? ? ?]

[With all elements gathered, it has become an individual, the embryo of a dragon and the nascent form of a god.]

"Roar~" Guild leader Zero's eyes tilted slightly as he took a second to think.

Having gathered all the necessary elements—the embryo of a dragon and the larva of a god—this orc has fulfilled all the conditions to become the Great Red Dragon Beast God. All that remains is for the Great Red Dragon totem to be completed, allowing him to undergo the final transformation within the Great Beast God's Goblet of Fire.

However, he didn't think it was because the orc in front of him was anything special; it was probably related to the unique nature of the original sin, "sloth."

In some original texts that can be used as a reference, laziness is God's privilege; only God, who has completed the great work of creation in six days, can lazily and idly spend a day.

Therefore, sloth is surprisingly the most serious of the seven original sins.

In addition, laziness is a state that almost any living being cannot avoid, whether it is becoming better or worse. You could even say that you are working hard just to be lazy.

Of course, this was his own assumption.

If this were placed in this city of sloth...

Guild Master Zero looked at the beastmen around him who had been awakened by his murderous aura. Although he looked like he was fast asleep, he was actually a very light sleeper. The slightest movement, even the slightest tremor caused by stepping in the swamp, would wake them up.

And after being awakened...

"Roar ah ah ah -"

The orcs were enraged by being startled awake. They were also hungry because they had used too much energy to grow during their long sleep. As their bodies awoke, the orcs naturally entered a state of preparation for reproduction.

After a good night's sleep, their stored energy bursts forth, greedily eyeing what other orcs possess, envying their power, and looking down contemptuously at Guild Master Zero, who is only LV99.

Based on the concept of "Sloth," every savage orc possesses at least three original sin attributes.

Although the number of savage orcs in this Sloth City is not as large as in other Sloth Cities, with only a little over a hundred, the lowest level among them is LV200, which is quite astonishing.

Besides the candidate Great Red Dragon Beast God sitting on the throne with his level hidden, there is also a Sin Beast King with six original sin attributes and a level of 399, and nine Sin Beast Generals with five original sin attributes and a level of 350.

In terms of dungeon difficulty, it's hellish; there's no dungeon with such terrifying features that we've never seen before.

"I don't know if you guys even listen to human language. Oh well, I'm the kind of person who likes to talk to myself anyway. Do you know what it takes to be called the 'strongest'?" Guild Leader Zero looked at the Shura mask in his hand, which was engraved with a ferocious and majestic demon face, and sighed softly. "It's that no matter who the enemy is, no matter how difficult the dungeon is, winning is a given, and you must win gracefully and overwhelmingly."

"This is the strongest. It's not a burden, but an objective fact. I'm... tentatively the number one in the world championship, but that guy didn't participate, and I've never had a proper duel with Greenland, the number two in the world championship. This identity as the number one and the strongest in the world makes me quite uneasy."

"So I have to keep winning, no matter what the situation, no matter how terrible the enemy, I have to win gracefully. Only then can I find a little peace of mind. It's practically a curse..."

"Even I worry about whether I can win next time, whether I'll be worthy of the title of 'World's Number One' next time. If I lose, this title will become a disgrace I can't shake off, so..."

……

"Hey, aren't you pretty close with Zero, the world's number one player?" Kitchenware, with a straw in its mouth, struck up a conversation with Penguin as if slacking off at work.

"You really enjoy this so much, you're almost obsessed." Penguin's eye twitched. It was a smell that only he could detect. The kitchen utensils looked like they were drinking cola, but they were actually just drinking a kind of Chinese medicine that looked similar in color.

Following the chocolate-filled broccoli and chicken breast salad, here comes another hellish concoction.

"It's not a matter of being close or not; to sum it up, it's a karmic entanglement, or at least we can call them competitors."

"Would he be angry that you didn't participate in the World Championship, like he'd say things like, 'Even if I lose, I'll lose fair and square,' that's what they say in anime."

As he spoke, the cookware made a few boxing moves, producing a whooshing sound.

If it weren't for the fear of that fist landing on its face, the penguin would have rolled its eyes.

Considering the power of the kitchenwares and the superior's status, and taking into account the importance of the world's number one player in the eyes of geniuses, Penguin decided to answer her question seriously.

Seeing the penguin sit up straight, the other eavesdropping geniuses also pricked up their ears.

"First of all, he is neither a good person nor a bad person, but a complete chaos. If you have to say, he leans towards the evil side of chaos."

"If he says something that sounds like a protagonist or has the charm of a character, it's most likely just a setup for his utterly wicked sarcasm at the end."

……

Facing the candidate Great Red Dragon Beast God sitting on the throne, the guild leader, surrounded by sinful beastmen with an average level of LV300, revealed a bright smile.

"But after seeing you all, I felt a deep sense of relief."

"You're all weaklings. Today, I can sit on the throne of the strongest with ease and peace of mind."

These words directly ignited the emotions of the sinful beastmen. Even the candidate Great Red Dragon Beast God stood up from his throne, his face contorted with rage, and ten horns, like a crown, burst forth from his body.

……

"As for whether he will question the value of his title as the world's number one because he didn't have a match with me... his unexpectedly high self-esteem is definitely a factor."

The penguin crossed its legs, propped its cheek with its right hand, and shifted its gaze.

"It's more accurate to say I don't want to fight him."
