Zongman: The wrong person on the ground, double Shenwei at the beginning

Rhodes exhaled a long, hot breath, then lowered his head and clenched his fist. The air seemed to explode from his grip, producing a series of muffled sonic booms.

He lightly touched the ground with his toes.

Boom boom boom boom——

A black streak of light, completely invisible to the naked eye, shot wildly through the vast Divine Might Space!

Each impact left a deep dent in the gray block barrier, and the terrifying sonic booms merged together, as if space itself was wailing.

A moment later, Rhodes returned to his original position without even breaking a sweat, looking completely at ease.

"Not bad, now all of my physical attributes have finally reached a normal level. And..."

With a thought, a layer of flowing shadow instantly covered his entire body, and he couldn't help but smile.

"With a divine body that is indestructible by physical attacks, and now immune to divine power and magic... there are very few types of attacks that can harm me now!"

Rhodes summoned a longsword with his right hand and flicked it lightly with his index finger.

hum-

The tough steel longsword didn't even let out a mournful cry before it instantly disintegrated into countless tiny metal powders, which fell from the sky.

"As expected of monster skills specifically designed for 'first encounter kills', not a single one of them is useless."

This skill, which directly destroys equipment, is also incredibly powerful.

Rhodes felt the changes in his body, took a deep breath, and then spat it out at the metal powder on the ground.

call--!

A torrent of blue flames, like a waterfall, swept out and engulfed everything.

The space itself was distorted by the terrifying heat, and the metal powder was instantly evaporated without a trace.

Rhodes nodded in satisfaction at the effect of the flames, but then felt a little regretful.

"It's a pity that it could be released directly through the eyes... This release method doesn't resemble Amaterasu; it's more like the Great Fire Extinguishing Technique."

After experiencing all his newly acquired abilities, Rhodes' gaze fell on Thomas's corpse. With a blank expression, he casually waved his hand, ending Thomas's life.

After extracting its power source, Rhode incorporated the power sources of a group of S-rank hunters, such as Huang Dongshu, that she had plundered from the Scavenger Guild, reshaping it into a tall, sharp-looking, short-haired woman.

She opened her eyes, and the arrogance and sharpness in them transformed into absolute fanaticism and respect the moment she saw Rhodes. Without hesitation, she knelt on one knee.

"From this day forward, your name will be Pride Pride."

A barely perceptible hint of joy flashed in Pride's eyes.

"Yes."

After doing all this, Rhodes looked at his remaining two-digit wish points and felt a pang of heartache.

"System, accept Lyra's wish."

[Special prayer has been accepted.]

[Time: 10 years ago.]

Location: Bergen, the city of sinners.

-

The girl, who didn't even have a name, was brought to that "room" when she was still a baby.

It was dim, desolate, and filled with the rusty smell of despair.

There are many babies like her here.

The anxious and clueless babies and girls often cried.

Even when I'm hungry, there's no warmth from my mother.

In this room where no one was there to help her, there were also tall people.

People wearing white clothes would call him a "useless person".

As they dragged him out, the cripple kept making a scene and shouting.

The next instant, a click sounded.

To an infant, the red liquid that was spraying from the disabled person was indistinguishable from a red liquid.

The useless person fell completely silent.

The girl's face was also covered with the bright red liquid.

For a young girl whose vision, smell, and hearing are not yet fully developed, feeling the temperature of a scalding liquid is everything.

—If you don't shut up, you'll end up like that yourself.

Lacking knowledge and experience, the girl immediately grasped this point through what she called instinct.

The burning liquid on her face gave birth to something that could be called "self" (Li's).

From then on, no matter how loud the crying was around her, she never cried again.

The room was dimly lit and rarely visited.

However, none of the unattended babies died.

The girl realized that it was thanks to the blue light particles falling from the ceiling.

After inhaling it, I felt neither hungry nor thirsty. Instead, my mind went blank.

By the time they realized it, the babies had forgotten how to cry and had become plants that only grew with empty eyes.

Only the girl remained conscious, absorbing light particles in order to survive, secretly turning her eyes to observe her surroundings, and repeatedly moving her body when the girl in white was not around.

After an unknown amount of time, her limbs gradually grew larger, and the girl became aware of the rules governing this room.

Children like themselves are led outside the room by someone very close to the door, and that child never returns to the room.

This rule only applies to "useless people," but they will never return either.

The girl believed that was the "end".

Even the girl herself didn't know that she belonged to a race known as the Little People.

Despite its small size, it possesses exceptional abilities related to the eyes.

From infancy to toddlerhood, I was able to find the rules of survival in my room thanks to these eyes.

The girl, quickly realizing her turn was approaching, tried to escape from her cradle and move to an empty cradle deep inside the room.

This daring attempt saved her.

Adults dressed in white came out from outside the room, tilting their heads to look at the empty cradle, and then took the other children away.

The girl was completely unaware that the order had been changed.

The girl was older than anyone else in the room, but even as she grew up, she was still smaller than the children of other races.

He changed the order, desperately ignoring the other children who looked at him with empty eyes, and continued to live like this for a long time.

Until one day, she realized that even though she hated it, she had to grow up, and that they were about to notice the change in order.

Driven by her instinct to survive and her own will, the girl seized the opportunity when the door wasn't fully closed and mustered the courage to step out of the room.

Without making a sound, she quietly walked into the dimly lit corridor. Then, the girl couldn't hold back any longer and started running, not knowing the way.

Praying all the way that she wouldn't encounter anyone, the girl, who was only the size of a human baby, ran through the deserted corridor and arrived breathlessly at a small ventilation shaft.

They crawled through the rickety net, like mice, through the narrow, tiny holes.

Then I saw the light.

Fragments of dazzling light, unlike anything seen before, that could be described as ferocious.

The girl felt a surge of heat throughout her body, and with a feeling of being saved for the first time, she flew towards the outside world.

"—"

Then, I was betrayed.

The place she flew off to was neither a warm world nor a beautiful blue sky.

Instead, it is an underground city where there is no sky, covered by several layers of thick prison cells.

Indeed, the girl's world has become much broader.

It simply transformed from a small room into a massive hell.

"She's over there! Grab her!"

The guard roared, and a sharp blade plunged into the ventilation duct, relentlessly pursuing her.

The girl sat blankly at the entrance of the pipe, giving up all struggle, thinking to herself that she would probably become a cripple too.

Just then, a clear sound of footsteps rang in her ears.

Immediately afterwards, a pair of dark yet incredibly deep eyes suddenly appeared before her, meeting her gaze.

Then, a gentle and pleasant voice, completely different from those of the "adults," rang in her ears.

"This shitty place is a mess. I've finally found you. Hmm, although they're a bit small, these eyes are definitely yours."

The girl opened her mouth.

In a moment when she should have felt fear, she instead felt an unprecedented warmth from the "adult" in front of her.

She instinctively reached out her slender, dirty hands.

"Um... does this mean they're treating me like a father? I've never done anything like this before, but... it's kind of interesting."

　With a smile, the other person gently pulled her, covered in mud, into their arms without any disgust.

As the girl's slender body leaned against the other's firm, warm chest, her long-dried tears unknowingly flowed again, and a kind of burning emotion that she could not understand surged in her heart.

Soon, the menacing-looking guards surrounded them.

That greedy and cruel look in his eyes was exactly the same as the look he had when he looked at the children he had led out of the room.

The girl instinctively gripped the other person's sleeve tightly.

But when she saw the unchanging relaxed smile on the other person's lips, her tense body involuntarily relaxed, and she even imitated the other person by slightly raising the corners of her mouth.

"It seems this [parts factory] has had a significant impact on you."

Rhodes held the frail girl in his arms and said softly, "However, ultimately, it's because of them that you've survived until now. So, to express your gratitude..."

His voice suddenly turned cold.

"—Just kill them all and turn them into shadow soldiers."

"Pride, go ahead and have some fun!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Pride's figure slowly emerged from the shadow behind Rhode.

She surveyed the astonished guards around her, a cruel smile spreading across her beautiful face. Her eyes, which looked down upon all living beings, held undisguised arrogance and disdain.

"How dare you, scum as insignificant as an ant, brandish knives and spears at your master?"

The next second, she disappeared from the spot.

The captain of the guards' pupils contracted sharply, and in a flash, a pale fist filled his entire field of vision.

puff--! ! !

There was no cracking sound of bones breaking, nor any screams of agony.

The guard captain's head exploded into a cloud of blood, flesh, and bone fragments, just like a watermelon smashed by a heavy hammer!

The crimson liquid, mixed with white brain matter, drenched his surviving companions behind him like a grand fireworks display.
