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

But then again...

Rod stroked his chin, his feelings somewhat complicated.

"Even though they don't need to seal their divine power in this other world, will they really fight...?"

The only one he could trust was Astraea.

After repeatedly adjusting his plans, Rhodes decided to first replicate some of the most cost-effective and affordable abilities.

He looked at Alphia, who was not far away.

The opponent's magic is naturally quite useful, but with the Sharingan, there's no need to deliberately copy it.

"System, extract and copy her talent."

[Extracting the talent "Talent Monster" has consumed 2 Prayer Points.]

Rhodes nodded slightly, a satisfied smile on his face.

"Although this price is quite high, it is obviously much more worry-free than those that cost hundreds of thousands."

This talent allows him to learn other people's skills more quickly and perfectly.

He then spent 3000 Prayer Points to copy Chardo's core skill, [Divine Favor].

This is the origin of his reputation for gluttony.

His powerful Devouring Ability allows him to devour beasts, humans, and monsters while the skill is active, thus permanently and passively boosting his status.

This skill is one of the strongest even among Zeus's Familia, and it is also the most suitable skill for Rhodes at present!

As long as you keep eating, you can continuously improve your physique and at the same time withstand more of the Shadow King's primal power.

It's wonderful to enjoy yourself while constantly getting stronger.

However, the extent of this skill improvement depends on the food consumed, and most foods provide only a negligible increase.

Rod couldn't help but think.

"Tsk, this skill is best suited for a world like Toriko..."

However, he currently does not have the coordinates of this world.

He hasn't refreshed the Myriad Realms Prayer during this period.

Aside from the world I upgrade independently, located through the prayer system, and the permanently locked demi-human world.

Currently, only the One Piece world is locked in.

"The world of One Piece seems to have some rare and exotic beasts as well. I wonder if the flesh of those Sea Kings would be effective."

Rhodes secretly made a note of this.

The Empress's various skills are all very powerful, but most of them overlap or do not match her abilities.

So Rhodes then spent another 9000 wish points to copy some of the three people's strongest and most unique development abilities.

His current list of development capabilities is as follows.

[Abnormal Resistance D, Magic C, Hunter D, Healing H, Steadfast I, Punch D, Fire Flash I, Harmony I, Shatter F, Overpower I, Overpowering Light I, Spiritual Pleasure E.]

Although it was already very late, none of them felt sleepy.

So they started a campfire in the yard and chatted.

Rhodes was naturally most interested in the three adventurers' requests.

It's rare to find that all the people left in the world who have experienced three world wars are here.

Chardo, marveling at his now healthy body, explained the details of that battle to Rhodes.

Behemoth's power is the weakest among the three great calamities.

Its terrifying aspect lies in the release of toxins that have a wide range and are extremely potent.

Even just breaking the black wind surrounding it left a group of level 7 powerhouses helpless for a long time.

In addition, it possesses the strongest defensive body among ancient magical beasts.

0 ··Requesting flowers··· ········

Even the level 8 hero whose combat power even surpassed that of the Empress would find it difficult to inflict fatal damage on Behemoth.

In the end, it was only through Chardo's near self-sacrifice in swallowing Behemoth's poisonous flesh that he was able to inflict a fatal blow on the monster.

Alphia then took Metalia's hand and softly recounted the scene of the battle against Leviathan.

The defining characteristic of the Leviathan is its enormous size, surpassing that of any other monster.

If Behemoth's strength lies in its "defense," then it is the pinnacle of its "vitality."

The reason they were able to defeat Leviathan was because they took advantage of its high water content in its body structure.

Because of this characteristic of Leviathan, Alphia's extremely long chanted spell, "Annihilation Prayer," can continuously resonate within its body, amplifying its power several times over and directly exploding it from within.

But it cost Alphia almost her life; she only managed to land that attack thanks to everyone's desperate cover.

As for that strongest and most evil sky overlord, the Dark End...

Mentioning this world-destroying demonic dragon, all three top experts showed expressions of embarrassment and fear.

Finally, it was Alphia who sighed and spoke.

"In the initial estimates of Hera's and Zeus's families, the three calamities were supposed to be of equal strength."

"But in fact, the black dragon is not in the same league as the other two monsters; it is a creature from another dimension."

"We can't find any weaknesses in it, nor can we think of any way to deal with it..."

Alphia looked at Rhodes with a complicated expression.

"If I had to say, it's somewhat similar to you."

No magic works, no physical attacks can cause damage, and when he gets serious, the sheer pressure alone is enough to leave everyone with lifelong psychological trauma...

..... 0 0

Rod frowned slightly upon hearing this.

It's not that I'm worried about its threat; putting everything else aside, with Shenwei around, he's invincible.

Moreover, he had previously obtained a special spiritual essence.

【Humanity's Final Trial: Dystopia】

This means he could only have been killed by humans.

However, this spirit attribute currently has no effect other than adding this trait to him.

Only when he builds an ever-expanding empire will he be able to cultivate more power.

Originally, the upper limit of this thing was locked by the Little Garden world, but because of the perfect synchronization power on its body, its potential became infinite!

The larger and stronger his empire becomes, the stronger Rhodes himself will be as emperor.

Rhodes was somewhat surprised by the black dragon's power simply because he felt it was a bit too outrageous.

"If all of you from both clans combined can't harm the Black Dragon, then even with the blessing of immortal essence, could Albert really have blinded one of the Black Dragon's eyes?"

Empress Regina rested her chin on her right hand and her leg on her hand, staring blankly at the blazing fire before her, her body trembling slightly involuntarily.

"The Black Dragon... might not have been this strong from the start."

"what do you mean?"

"There are two reasons for our guess. The first is that we killed Behemoth and Leviathan one after another, which led to the Black Dragon being strengthened by the dungeon in some way."

Rhodes fell into deep thought.

All monsters born in the dungeon will enter reincarnation after death, and a few will develop a strong will and become heretics.

Behemoth and Leviathan should theoretically also be reincarnated after their deaths.

But... what if they didn't reincarnate, and were instead absorbed by the black dragon?!

That is indeed a possibility.

Empress Regina continued.

"The second possibility is that it is related to the great fairy Arya who was devoured by the black dragon."

"..."

Rod rubbed his fingers, lost in thought.

It has to be said that this possibility is quite high.

In the original work, the power of the Fallen Fairy was already ridiculously strong; if the Black Dragon had truly absorbed the power of the Great Wind Fairy...

With these two factors combined, it's no wonder that both clans were wiped out.

If that's the case, it's reasonable to assume that if only the power of this world is used to defeat the Black Dragon, then Ais, as Arya's daughter, would be indispensable.

She might be able to awaken Arya's fragmented consciousness within the Black Dragon, severely injuring it...

But can a human and a fairy really have a human daughter?

This made Rhodes somewhat suspicious.

Because theoretically, celestial essences cannot reproduce.

However, he has not yet come into contact with a single immortal spirit, which is a bit of a regret as he cannot personally experience it.

The only absolutely certain fairy spirit in Orario is the general store owner when Lily was selling stolen goods in the original work.

The other person was a little old man in a red hat...

Where else can one find fairy essences?

At this moment, the others were unaware that Rhodes was thinking about such things. They assumed he was frowning and contemplating how to defeat the black dragon, so they did not dare to speak up and disturb him.

Chardo even secretly admired Rod.

Everyone else would despair just hearing about it, and these remnants don't even have the courage to fight again, yet they still dare to target the Black Dragon...?

As expected of my lord, little one.

Chapter 129 Lunova: I don't need a weak instructor! (Please subscribe and vote!)

Only Metalia saw through Rhodes's little scheme and pouted with a hint of jealousy.

That naughty fellow! He must be thinking about cute fairies!

Rhodes wouldn't care that much about that black dragon!

Unless... it's a female dragon.

After an unknown amount of time, while everyone was discussing information about the dungeon, Metalia leaned against Alphia's shoulder and fell asleep soundly.

She even drooled a little, muttering things like "Rhodes...bad guy...likes..."

Alphia's eyelids twitched violently, and she clenched her fists slightly.

If her innocent little rabbit had been taken advantage of, she would have rushed up and given the other person a good beating!

But this boy in front of me...

It's one thing to be unable to defeat them, but the other party is also the lord to whom they swore allegiance, and the great benefactor who saved them...

There is nothing she can do.

Feeling extremely frustrated, Alphia got angry and then made a major decision!

—Since things have come to this, let's go to sleep.

So the small meeting was temporarily adjourned.

Chardo was dismissed by Rod and told to find his own place to stay.

The guy also gave Rhodes a resentful look, as if accusing him of treating him differently.

Rhodes naturally chose to ignore it; he didn't want a man living in his garden.

There's no need to worry about him not having a place to stay; these guys have plenty of money.
