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

"You claim to like the unknown in humanity, yet you lack even the patience to guide that unknown onto the right path. What makes you think you like humanity?!"

"Even Loki, the infamous god of evil in the heavens, is now a hundred times stronger than you!"

Rivera, who had already arrived outside the room, heard Rod's sharp words and slowly lowered her right hand, which was about to knock on the door, her expression a mixture of amusement and exasperation.

Although it was praising Loki...

But she probably doesn't want to hear that kind of praise from you...

Rhodes looked down at Soma from his high vantage point.

"Besides, there are some guys who can withstand the divine wine."

"You're just making expectations and letting your defenses crumble on their own. Why don't you dare take your so-called divine wine and let the strong members of the Loki Familia and Freya Familia taste it, and see if they'll succumb to its allure?"

Soma wanted to say something, but in the end he just shut his mouth and lowered his head in shame.

"Let me tell you the answer directly: garbage only attracts flies."

Rhodes drew a cold conclusion, having lost all patience to continue the conversation.

"Somo, you are simply not qualified to attract enough outstanding talents."

"You are the one who ignored human flaws and lured out evil, you are the one who allowed your clan members to bully each other, you are the one who caused your clan members to corrupt the entire Orario, you are the root of all evil in all the tragedies of the entire clan!"

"Your family has paid the price for your wickedness. If you ever truly loved your children, at least take responsibility at the last moment."

With a human body, Rhodes made a rebellious judgment against the gods.

But at this moment, even Riveria, who was hiding by the door, did not feel anything was amiss.

After saying this, Rhodes completely lost interest in talking to Soma and turned to walk towards the door.

"If you'd like, go back to the Celestial Realm and tell the Goddess Hestia that I'm waiting for her in the mortal world. Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't deliver the message."

Soma gave a wry smile.

What kind of person are you? You're clearly trying to kill me, and then you expect me to help you as if it's perfectly normal...

However, at this moment, Somo felt no negative emotions towards Rhodes; on the contrary, he was grateful to Rhodes for enlightening him.

Otherwise, if he had continued down this path, he probably would have caused even more harm to the children.

It wouldn't be unreasonable to consider him an evil god and execute him directly based on the sins he committed.

But as Rod said before, the only right thing Soma did was probably feeding and caring for Lily for a period of time when she was a toddler.

That's why Rhodes left him with the last shred of dignity and respect.

As he placed his right hand on the handle, Rod suddenly thought of an even more disgusting male god and chuckled mockingly.

"By the way, your life after descending to the mortal realm was a complete failure... even in your strongest area, you were inferior to your peers, weren't you?"

"That guy's wine isn't just something that can corrupt mortals; it can create a kind of distortion that even gods can't bear."

Soma, who was already clutching his head in remorse because of Rhodes's irrefutable accusation, had his last remaining principles and pride shattered when he heard the last sentence.

Hearing Rod's last somewhat chilling remark, his eyes widened and he struggled to his feet, trying to stop Rod.

"Wait a minute, are you talking about...?"

Rod ignored her and left without looking back. Somo stood there dumbfounded, his hand outstretched. Finally, looking at the backs of the two figures, he staggered and slumped his shoulders with a bitter smile.

"Ah... I really did something wrong... I'm sorry, Lily..."

He closed his eyes in pain, and after a while, he opened them, turned his head to look at the dagger soaking in the wine on the ground, took a deep breath, and slowly walked over.

Chapter 41: Rivera and Rhodes rely on each other, slaying a god with just a few words! (Please give flowers and votes!)

"I thought..."

Rivera followed beside Rhodes, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back.

The streets of Orario gradually lit up with magic stone lights.

In the corridor, Rod held Lily and squinted, gazing up at the moon, which was beginning to shine in the darkness, replacing the sun.

"Did you think I would be so impulsive as to kill Somo myself?"

Rivera and Rhodes gazed at the same starry sky, their smiles gentle.

"Yes, I'm always worried about you, but you've adapted to this city better than I expected."

Rhodes sensed the slight disappointment hidden in Riveria's words and turned to meet her emerald-like eyes.

"I don't dislike the feeling of being cared for."

Riveria's lips curled into a slight smile. Just as she was about to say something, she caught a glimpse of a small figure sulking in the yard below, unable to find an opponent.

This maternal fairy royal couldn't help but sigh with a headache and start complaining a little.

"...Really? I thought that as children get older, they will become rebellious and only like to hear praise and obedience."

Rhodes did not deny the change, but he himself remained perfectly rational.

"Unconditional flattery and approval mostly stem from fear. It may feel good at first, but it will eventually lead to loneliness and boredom."

Since acquiring the cheat, power has no longer been his ultimate pursuit.

Because he clearly understood that as long as he continued to develop in this way, he would eventually become stronger than everyone else.

In this process, in order to continue to enjoy the pleasures of life and to avoid becoming emotionally distorted by the rapidly expanding power, he needs more human anchors to maintain his values.

Riveria, Astraea's family, even Lily... are all such beings.

Rivera sensed the dependence Rhodes had on her hidden in his words, and seemingly casually took another step closer to him.

The fairy royal and the human boy's arms were pressed tightly together, as if they were leaning on each other.

The warm and peaceful moment made this fairy royal wish to stay in this moment forever.

Unfortunately, it was only temporary...

It's not for any complicated reason.

It's just that they all have to go home separately, and there are other companions waiting for her downstairs. She can't just stay here with Rhodes!

If we actually did that, the very next day there would probably be a scandal that would drive all the fairies in the world crazy...

Rivera felt a little regretful, and blushed slightly as she brought up the last topic.

"This is the person you're trying to rescue... the reincarnation of that little human goddess? I can't tell at all..."

If Rhodes hadn't explained it beforehand, Rivera would never have been able to reconcile this frail, petite Cinderella with the legendary hero.

"Well, after all, she is indeed too weak in this life. Perhaps only her command ability can still rival that of her previous life."

"...I always feel like a complete novice in front of you."

Riveria always felt that Rhodes knew many things he shouldn't know, but she didn't want to pry into Rhodes' secrets, and just sighed helplessly.

"It's time to go. Come find me when you have time..."

Before they could finish speaking, they felt the entire city seem to be shaking!

The all-consuming light illuminates the entire Orario!

The sky roared mournfully, and the earth surged with fury!

"That is--"

In the red room of Valca, Hephaestus and Astraea stared in disbelief at the towering pillar of light that seemed to reach into the clouds.

[Only when lower-level deities are sent back will a place become available in the celestial realm.]

[What if there are spots available soon...]

Astraea leaned against the railing, recalling her conversation with Rhodes, and murmured to herself with mixed feelings.

"You fulfilled your promise in just two days... You accomplished everything on your own without even relying on the power of the gods. You truly are a being that cannot be bound by the fate of the gods."

Hephaestus stared wide-eyed, a look of disbelief on her face.

"Hey, hey, hey, could this have been done by that kid...?! This really is..."

The immense amount of light, beyond human comprehension, attracted the attention of all adventurers and gods.

A goddess gazing into the distance from the top of the Tower of Babel, lost in thought; a god gently welcoming his people home; a wicked god walking the streets, questioning justice...

All beings stopped in their tracks, silently watching this scene, their minds racing with various thoughts.

Unlike what was previously just a joke, once the matter is brought to light and takes hold, Rhodes will likely become Orario's fastest legendary figure.

Just a few days ago, everyone's impression of him was that he was "quite fast," but no one expected that just a few days later he would be completely reversed to "the one who drives out the gods."

Rod watched this scene with a smile; everything was exactly as he had expected.

He had considered how to perfectly fulfill Lily's wish.

The final conclusion is that at least three conditions must be met.

Let Lily completely sever herself from the clan, both physically and mentally.

Forcefully disband the Soma Familia, send everyone to prison, and then make them all disappear at the right time.

And... the source of all, Soma.

In this way, he completely erased all traces of Lily's previous oppression in one night.

As for Rhodes himself.

This not only avenged the moral blackmail offered by the monster, but also effortlessly created an opening for Hestia to descend to the mortal realm.

He, Lily, the Loki Familia, Hestia... all of them won big because of this.

So who is the only loser?

A series of system notifications rang in Rhodes' mind. Instead of checking them immediately, he first turned to look at Riveria.

"What did Riveria just say?"

Under the moonlight, the fairy royal family's exceptionally beautiful face was more captivating than many goddesses in Orario.

As the evening breeze blew by, Rivera smiled, tucked a strand of emerald hair behind her ear, and shook her head.

"No, just remember to come visit me more often in the future~"

Even if you have a new family, don't forget me.

This meaning is hidden in the words of the fairy royal family.

Rhodes looked directly into her emerald eyes.

"I will, and I have a lot of things to trouble you with."

Rivera chuckled and patted Rhodes on the shoulder, muttering, "Just don't make things too big every time," before waving goodbye and heading off to greet the fairies who had come looking for her.

At the entrance of the camp, the Ganesha Familia, having heard the news from the Loki Familia, took charge of maintaining order and assisting in escorting the Soma Familia members.
