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

Adi originally wanted to persuade Rhodes, but now she couldn't say anything.

If these words only led everyone to decide to ignore those who had chosen Berden and were courting death.

Rhodes' next words made everyone present even have the urge to take action themselves and completely eliminate them!

"And there's one more thing you shouldn't forget... a mere venomous mucus monster has become so troublesome after absorbing the Fountain of Life."

Rhodes calmly uttered words that sent chills down the spines of everyone present.

"What if a more powerful monster absorbed it, or even... what if that black dragon devoured the Fountain of Life?"

A biting cold wind blew by.

The atmosphere at the scene instantly became extremely tense!

An ominous black wind was uncontrollably and faintly emanating from Ais's body.

"Black Dragon..."

Fortunately, Rivera, whose expression had changed drastically, arrived in time and hugged her tightly.

"It's alright, Rod won't let that happen."

Alphia's eyes were sharp and her voice was cold.

"Rhodes, we must take the Fountain of Life. If the people of Berden try to stop us, I will kill them all!"

"!!!"

Overwhelmed by this terrifying killing intent, Tarluvi collapsed helplessly into Rhodes' arms, her eyes filled with confusion and fear.

At this point, she no longer knew what was right or wrong.

Rhodes looked down indifferently at Uskali and the group of knights, slightly raising his chin.

"What? You guys who are good at making multiple-choice questions can't do math right now?"

"Which is more important, the lives of people all over the world or the lives of people in Bergen? Can't you figure it out?"

They couldn't answer.

Having long been accustomed to morally blackmailing others, they probably never imagined that they themselves would one day be morally blackmailed.

No one is not afraid of death.

Especially the citizens of Bergen, who have been surviving for hundreds of years by sacrificing others.

Even if these people say they're willing to give up the Fountain of Life for the whole world, what about the others in Bergenli?

Chapter 140 Vera, beg me, and I'll save them. (Please subscribe and vote!)

If the people of Berden truly possessed this awareness, they would have all fought the Swamp King long ago, instead of creating some kind of sacrifice.

In the original work, a country that can only survive through sacrifice is portrayed as an ideal nation of love, mutual assistance, and no discord, which is ridiculously fake.

In fact, if these guys hadn't actually fought desperately for Taluwi and the Swamp King after being woken up, Rhode wouldn't have planned so much and would have just killed them on the spot.

Just then, Vera suddenly looked up, her amber eyes staring straight at Rhodes.

"...You mentioned earlier that the lady next to you had similar symptoms before, right?"

Rod's lips curled up slightly.

"Finally noticed?"

Vera let out a long breath and gently opened her lips.

"Ah... I should have known. Given your personality, you shouldn't have talked so much."

"You... have a way to take the Fountain of Life while protecting the people of Bergen, right?"

Taluvi, nestled in his arms, paused for a moment, looking at Rhodes with a mixture of trepidation and anticipation.

Even the guys who were originally from Berden held their breath.

Uskali immediately struggled to get up and said urgently.

"If you can save the people of Berden, then I will give my life for you!"

The knights hurriedly joined in the shouting.

"And ours too!"

Rhodes simply ignored them.

Vera asked directly.

"What price must I pay to get you to help me?"

Those amber eyes seemed to hold a faint hint of inquiry and curiosity.

Rod simply said it.

"That depends on how important they are to you."

Vera frowned slightly.

"What do you mean?"

Rod straightened his collar with a composed movement.

He looked calmly at the goddess before him, his voice flat, yet carrying an undeniable air of authority.

“Give me everything you have, and then beg me. I will save the people of Bergen and end their fate.”

An eerie silence fell over the scene.

Humans have prayed to the gods countless times.

But this is the first time someone has asked a deity to make a wish upon them.

Even if an omniscient and omnipotent god is unable to use his divine power after coming to the human world, humans still retain a deep reverence for the god in their hearts.

The people of Berden stared in astonishment, followed by an indescribable sense of humiliation.

Uskali's face flushed red instantly, and he clenched his fists.

His own god was so humiliated that he should fight back to the death.

But... in the end, he was just angry for a moment, and then, that was it.

Vera's status in Berden was already low, and even after learning that she was their savior, things changed somewhat, but it was not immediately possible for them to become fanatical and loyal.

Most importantly, reality is not a strategy simulation game, and life is not a cold, numerical unit.

But once you get used to putting life on a scale and calculating it from the very beginning, you can never stop.

[An unpopular chief god], [the entire nation of Berden].

As if deliberately tormenting them, Rhodes threw this choice at them once again.

And naturally, they only have that one choice to make.

Rivera quietly observed the unusually domineering Rhodes at this moment.

Unlike his usual gentleness when interacting with girls, and his occasional little capriciousness when chatting with her, he now seemed like a man who possessed a miraculous power that even the gods could hardly fathom.

How audacious! Not only are they eyeing the fairy royal family, but they're even greedily coveting the gods...

Rivera's gaze shifted, her eyes filled with a smile.

Perhaps only he in this world has the right to be so arrogant.

The other girls who were not bound by the contract were also in turmoil.

It was only then that they realized that the man who had been joking with them had already reached a level that was beyond their reach.

As Amid tended to the wounded and battered Adi, she secretly glanced at Rod's retreating figure, a subtle stirring within her.

If even the gods must bow down, then what am I still hesitating about...?

Compared to the complex emotions of everyone else, Vera fell into silence after her initial shock.

Subsequently.

"Heh...hehe...ha...hahahahaha—"

She laughed uncontrollably, bending over backward, and the laughter then turned into a high-pitched, manic laugh.

"Interesting, very interesting. Is this the unknown of the lower realm?"

Vera laughed for a long time before she stopped, her sharp gaze fixed on Rhodes, radiating an awe-inspiring divine power.

"Young man, do you know what you're saying?"

She took a step forward and stood in front of Rhodes, so close that they could almost smell each other's breath.

Vera looked up, as if trying to see right through him.

The daffodils adorning her head emitted a natural fragrance, and the blue beaded tassels beneath the flower crown swayed gently.

"I'm a genuine pleasure addict~ Do you really think a god like me would become your slave and obey your 'commands' for a bunch of mere mortals?"

The girls all wore serious expressions, but Rod remained calm, looking down at her with a composed expression.

"In order to prevent the poisonous swamp from spreading beyond Bergen, he was willing to play the role of the villain, coupled with his concern for the people of Bergen."

"Even if it was just a passing fancy at first, it has now turned into an obsession with looking forward to the finale."

"As the one who wrote the opening chapter of the story, the choice of whether the ending is a comedy or a tragedy is now in your hands."

The man and the god stared at each other for a long time.

Finally, Vera quietly closed her beautiful eyes.

"You're even more wicked than me."

Rod raised an eyebrow slightly.

So, what's your answer?

Vera suddenly opened her eyes, grabbed Rod's collar, and forcibly pulled him over.

She tiptoed and gave Rhodes a quick, fleeting kiss on the lips, through the still bewildered Tarluvi in ​​his arms.

"I will only ever make one choice, from beginning to end."

A hint of helplessness flashed in her eyes, mixed with an irrepressible excitement.

"Please, save them! I'll give you everything I have!"

[S-rank prayer has been issued.]

[Posted by: Vera]

[Content: To free the people of Bergen from the curse.]

[Reward: The power of the Goddess of Winter.]

Uskali's eyes widened.

“Vera...Lady…”

They probably never imagined that Vera would actually go to such lengths for them.

Vera turned her head and looked at the knights lying on the ground, ashamed and unable to meet her gaze.

She spoke indifferently, as if she had completely lost interest in this story that had lasted for thousands of years.

"Don't misunderstand, your clan's dark history began with me, and it will naturally end with me."

"Once you are all freed from the curse, I will also lift the grace upon you... Well, rejoice, you are finally free."

"Whether it's a curse or me, the supreme god."

Uskali hesitated, wanting to apologize and try to persuade him to stay, but it seemed that no matter what he said, it would sound hypocritical and disgusting. In the end, he just slammed his fist into the ground.

"I'm sorry... I understand..."

Vera wanted to say something cool to completely sever ties with the past, but the next second her eyes widened suddenly as Hestia, whose eyes were blazing with fire, blasted her away with a rocket headbutt!

"Damn it—! I never did that with Rhodes! I should have given you a good fight back in the Celestial Realm!"

Vera, clutching her aching back, crawled out of the rubble in a disheveled state, but still couldn't resist a smug taunt.

"You idiot with those dowdy twin tails! Innocent is so outdated these days, if you see a good guy, just go for it!"
