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

Rhodes couldn't help but burst into laughter, the sound echoing through the empty palace, filled with undisguised mockery.

"Are you kidding me? Don't you know that your very existence is already the greatest interference in human politics?"

"Moreover, is this why you, who are clearly able to see through the loyalty and treachery, good and evil in the court, allow those parasites to run rampant?"

"Is this your reason for turning a blind eye to the widespread famine outside the capital?"

The goddess of beauty, Konohanasakuya, possessed a face that could shame the moon and flowers, with her long, jet-black hair cascading down her back like a waterfall.

She slowly opened her obsidian-like eyes, which were always closed, and quietly looked at the boy on the throne, letting out a soft sigh.

"Whatever judgment is handed down against us, we will have no words to say and will accept it gladly."

"Now we just want to know, how... will you govern this country?"

Rod had painstakingly uprooted all the violent institutions in the country, so he certainly didn't come here just to mock them.

Rather, his intentions were never concealed from the very beginning.

“Thoroughly investigate powerful officials and bureaucrats, strictly adjudicate them according to the law, publicly declare their crimes in the street, and execute them.”

"Abolish the aristocratic system, reorganize the management institutions, and appoint people based on merit."

"The mansions of corrupt officials were confiscated, and the funds collected were used to aid disaster victims."

"Measure the fields...count the population...dispatch troops to clear out the monsters ravaging the wilderness...establish facilities to shelter homeless orphans..."

Rhodes only spoke casually for half a minute, but these ideas, which were ahead of their time, left the three goddesses speechless and without a trace of doubt.

Metria, nestled in his arms, cast a gaze of adoration and longing upon him.

Of course, many people can make these kinds of grand pronouncements, but the difficulty lies in how to put them into practice.

However, when you have a shadow legion that grows larger with each kill and is absolutely loyal, then the complex power game of governing a country will naturally switch to the simplest mode instantly.

Amaterasu gazed deeply at Rhodes, her golden eyes gleaming with complex emotions.

"Your background... never mind, it's not important anymore."

"If you can really do what you're saying, then what's wrong with handing this country over to you?"

Tsukuyomi coughed lightly from the side and whispered a reminder.

"Um... Sister, in fact, this country already belongs to him in theory. We... have no way to resist."

Amaterasu blushed slightly and glared fiercely at her younger sister.

You're talking about things I don't know!

Even though I've been criticized to the point of being worthless, I still want to save some face in front of humanity, is that so wrong?!

However, Rhodes' indifferent voice echoed throughout the palace.

"You seem to have misunderstood something."

"To be my subject is the greatest blessing, and my benevolent rule will only be shown to those who are loyal to me."

“I have absolutely no reason to go to great lengths to take care of a bunch of burdens that have nothing to do with me. If you really want me to take over this country, you should be the ones... begging me.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire palace fell into a deathly silence.

The once high and mighty goddesses opened their mouths, but couldn't utter a single word in rebuttal.

Money, status, military... the things that a country can provide are precisely the things that this young man needs least.

Amaterasu sighed inwardly.

Unexpectedly, one day, these high and mighty gods would have to beg a mortal and hand over their own country.

However, those who deeply love humanity will ultimately only make one choice from beginning to end.

The three goddesses bowed their noble waists and lowered their heads deeply.

"We...beg you to save this country. Lead it...to a future where everyone can have enough to eat and no longer suffer from hunger or insecurity."

Rhodes finally sat up straight, looking down at the goddesses who bowed their heads to him.

"Will all the relatives and relatives in this country unconditionally carry out my orders?"

Amaterasu answered without the slightest hesitation.

"As long as you can make it more prosperous, we will be your most steadfast supporters."

Rod did not answer immediately, but instead tapped lightly on the armrest with his index finger.

Metria was secretly amazed.

In the past, it was most common to hear mortals praying to gods, but now, in Rhodes's presence, everything is reversed.

Such an outrageous and absurd scene was taken for granted by the gods in the room.

He truly is my Prince Charming...

Rhodes was looking at the system panel that popped up, feeling extremely pleased.

[Level A prayer has been released.]

[Posted by: Amaterasu, Tsukuyomi, and Konohanasakuya-hime.]

[Content: To transform the Far East into a nation where everyone has enough to eat and wear and is free from the threat of monsters.]

[Reward: A random ability from one of the three goddesses, and corresponding wish points.]

Haha, I knew it!

Besides rescuing Kaguya, Rhodes's purpose in coming here was to deliberately guide the situation to its current state in order to test whether he could trigger the goddess's wish.

The last time I was able to trigger a god's wish was when Erebus gave me a newbie gift pack.

However, this mission (Li's) is fundamentally different from the one that reforms the city of sinners.

It is not difficult to transform a city of sinners into a normal city.

However, if the entire Far East country is to be developed into a prosperous nation, it will likely require a considerable amount of time and effort if it is not forced to adopt a pig-farming model.

While it wouldn't be a bad deal to get a goddess's power for free, Rhodes doesn't have an urgent need for it right now.

Furthermore, in his kingdom, it should be his subjects who support him; if they did that, wouldn't he become a laborer again?

Rhodes looked up at the three goddesses who were waiting for his response and waved his hand.

"In exchange, you need to sign this contract."

The contents of the contract are exactly the wishes that the three goddesses have just made.

The price they had to pay was to become Rhodes's personal gods.

Upon seeing this incredible power of the contract, which transcended divine authority, Amaterasu stared intently at Rhodes after a moment of astonishment.

"So we were your target all along..."

Rod smiled slightly, offering no rebuttal.

After all, apart from a few goddesses, there are very few people in the entire island nation who have his eye on them.

"If you want me to take on this mess, you'll naturally have to pay the corresponding price."

"Kohana Kaiya-hime sighed."

"This ability to even bind gods... no wonder it's from another world."

Tsukuyomi, however, became more curious about something else.

"Have you made contracts with any other gods before us?"

Rhodes thought for a moment and then said casually.

"Hela, La Verna, Morrigan... If you don't know them, you should know Izanami."

The name startled the three goddesses, and their expressions became somewhat complicated.

"I see. So you've been to the City of Sinners."

Without much hesitation, the goddesses signed the contract that would determine their entire lives.

Even setting aside their ties to their country, the unknown worlds symbolized in the contract alone were enough to make them secretly eager to explore.

The contract has been signed, and Rhodes now has three more beautiful goddesses under his command.

Rod stopped being polite to them.

"Amaterasu, you are in charge of gathering the central officials and letting them know who their future masters are."

"Konohana Sakuya-hime, be in charge of interrogating those who have been detained. After ascertaining their true thoughts, brainwash those who harbor resentment and let them stay in the outside world to fight the monsters and make the most of their remaining strength."

Konohana Kaiya hesitated for a moment, but nodded in agreement, her beautiful petal-shaped pupils gleaming with a bewitching light.

"yes.".

As a goddess of beauty, she naturally possesses the same abilities as Freya.

If she had chosen to interfere in this country at will from the very beginning, it would have been easy for her to completely twist it into her own kingdom.

As they said before, they originally did not intend to interfere too much in human affairs, and this idea was not a lie.

Finally, Rhodes looked at Tsukuyomi.

"I need you to establish a comprehensive welfare system to ensure that orphans are properly resettled."

“Select at least three thousand girls to be your personal care and training as priestesses. I hope they will know who they are fighting for in the future.”

When talking about exclusive units in the Far East, besides ninja samurai, how can we forget shrine maidens?

But compared to the other two, a group of youthful and beautiful shrine maidens is definitely more pleasing to the eye.

Rhodes quickly calculated the time in his mind.

The characters Yamato no Mikoto, Hitachi Chigusa, and Asuka haven't been born yet at this time of year; they'll probably be born next year.

He silently ordered his shadow soldiers to conduct surveillance throughout the Far East, ensuring that targets were brought back promptly upon discovery.

This time in the Far East, he transformed five thousand shadow soldiers, reshaping them into ninja forms.

However, Rhodes did not fuse or refine them; he simply reshaped them into girls from their purest form, with an average strength of only lv1 for all of them.

After all, what's needed here isn't particularly strong forces, but rather a large enough intelligence unit.

“In the future, I will have someone specially send a few children over; you will need to pay special attention to them.”

"Next year, a fox girl will be born into the Sanjo family, and you will be responsible for raising and educating her personally."

“Anyone who tries to harm her will be executed on the spot, not even his father can punish him.”

Hearing Rhodes's serious emphasis, Tsukuyomi blinked, somewhat curious.

Is that child special?

"For this world, it's like a cheat code."

"...Hmm, I understand."

After all, she is one of the holders of several cheat skills in the original work, so there is no reason for her to be framed and trafficked by that little human again.

What's more, that's a rare fox-woman attribute!

After bowing to Rhodes, the three goddesses hurried off to their respective tasks.

Although there are many clans of varying sizes throughout the Far East, most of them are incompetent little clans. Their leadership means that the Far East has officially come under the control of Rhodes at this moment.

Seeing that the three goddesses had all left, Metalia patted her chest and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"So there are all sorts of different types of gods."

Seeing her cautious demeanor, Rod couldn't help but laugh.

"Is it really necessary to be so scared?"

Metalia shook her little head and said in a serious tone.

"After all, they are gods who transcend common sense; it's only natural to show them respect! After all, not everyone is like you, Rhodes..."
