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

This was a real treat for Rhodes.

Leyana, on the other hand, appeared much more mature and dignified.

This is probably related to her previous experience of wandering in various countries of the world of Dango.

She sat barefoot on the other side of the sofa, her white legs bare, her body gently leaning against Rod's arm, curiously fiddling with a brand new cell phone.

"If you'd like, you can try to accumulate some contribution points and then have Rhode build a completely modern, separate residence in the Divine Might Space~"

Leyana appeared much more casual in private, with a corner of her loose dark khaki shirt slipping down to reveal her rounded shoulders.

"Oh! That's a great idea!"

Noin's eyes lit up instantly. She sat up excitedly, her pretty short hair bouncing lively.

"However, Xiao Ya also told me about something called a 'shopping website.' I'll take a good look at it first and bring back gifts for the goddess and everyone else!"

On the other hand, Leyana's brows furrowed slightly.

She handed the phone to Rhodes; the screen displayed a news article about the increasing number of portals.

She sighed softly, her tone tinged with worry.

"I never imagined that dungeons existed in this world..."

"However, Orario only has a bottomless hole, but in this world, these 'portals' are scattered all over the place."

Rhodes pulled himself out of refining the plan for the subsequent raids, and looked at Leyana's worried profile with a mysterious smile.

"Do you think the existence of dungeons is a calamity for this world?"

Leyana looked up, puzzled.

"Isn't it true? Monsters, death, panic..."

"So, what is the reason why the adventurers of Orario are stronger than those outside?"

"Hmm... it's the environment and opportunities brought by the dungeon."

Leyana reluctantly admitted it, but then immediately added defiantly.

"But if there were no monsters in the first place, people wouldn't have bothered to work so hard to become stronger in order to survive!"

"So...."

Rod chuckled and shrugged.

"What if an enemy even more powerful than monsters is coming in the future, and humanity has to fight desperately to survive?"

Leyana's heart skipped a beat.

"You mean—...."

Rhodes smiled without saying a word, his eyes slightly narrowed, his gaze seemingly piercing through the walls of the villa, looking towards the...prey beyond the world.

At the end of the DanMachi world, a black dragon awaits, but the future of this world holds enemies far stronger than the black dragon!

The "underground cities" of this world are merely "catalysts" sown by the rulers in preparation for an even more terrifying war.

They opened a portal to the chaotic world, allowing a massive influx of magic to flow into it, giving rise to powerful beings among humanity and reinforcing Earth as a "battlefield" to resist the approaching, destructive incarnations—the monarchs.

From a certain perspective, there is no fundamental difference between what the Dominator and Erebus want to do.

Rhodes' primary goal in coming to this world was the power of the kings and rulers at the top of the food chain!

Even the primordial power of the "Absolute One" whom they killed together!

Undead, dragons, demons, giants, snowmen, beasts, insects, monsters, and spirits... Nine kings, each wielding the primordial darkness, are the pinnacle of their respective races.

If one were to combine all nine of these great powers into one's own body, one wonders what level one could reach...

Rhodes is quite looking forward to this!

However, achieving this would likely require a huge amount of Wishing Points.

Thinking of this, Rhodes had an idea and said to Noin and Leyana.

"Pay more attention to the S-class hunters in this world and see what abilities you like."

After signing the contract, they became his most trusted assistants.

They must have had a hunch that they could replicate and bestow their abilities upon others.

Rhodes decided to lay it all out directly.

"But what about our contribution points..."

Noin put down her phone and her eyes lit up, but then she immediately thought of the practical problems and wrinkled her nose in distress.

"Don't worry about the contribution points,"

Rod waved his hand dismissively.

"You can pay me back for now."

He had no intention of undermining the contribution exchange mechanism that the girls had worked so hard to build, but ultimately the final interpretation of the rules rested with him.

"That's okay!"

Noin immediately beamed and leaned over to give Rhodes a loud kiss on the cheek.

"Hehe, Rhodes, you're so nice!"

Looking at the girl's bright smile, Rhodes felt a strange unease.

I make you work for me, then I help you become stronger, and once you're stronger, you continue to work for me even more efficiently, and you're expected to thank me in return...

Even capitalists would give up their streetlights to me if they saw this...

"But..."

Although Leyana was also delighted by this, her rationality led her to question it.

"Rhodes, didn't you say that most S-rank hunters in this world only have the strength of level 3 like us?"

The fact that the girls were automatically given the status of S-class hunters after they transmigrated is one piece of evidence.

However, unlike Rhodes, they are registered in Singapore.

Rhodes did not deny it, but explained.

"S-rank is just a threshold, but the difference between S-ranks is like the difference between Lily and Finn, who are both dwarfs. Do you understand?"

"Even above S-rank, there are hunters known as 'national power level'."

Leyana covered her forehead and couldn't help but complain.

"While I admit your example is very vivid and clear... wouldn't it be too hurtful for that child to know that you teased her like that in private?"

"Don't worry, Lily is stronger than you think."

"Um, does this mean you're not denying you'll continue to make fun of her in the future...?"

He coughed lightly, choosing to change the subject, and continued.

"In short, their power will be quite useful to you, especially since your magic is subject to world rules and space restrictions."

In the quiet night, moonlight streamed through the French windows, spreading a layer of silver gauze across the floor.

knock --

There was a gentle knock on the door, and Rod didn't even look up before lazily responding.

"Come in."

The door opened, and Noin, wearing a cute set of pajamas with a bear pattern and sporting a cheerful, flowing short haircut, hopped in like a triumphant kitten.

Clearly, in tonight's Holy Grail War—which decides who gets to serve the emperor—she narrowly defeated Leyana and has earned the right to become the Holy Grail tonight!

So in the subsequent Concerto de la Joy, Noin made no attempt to hide her triumph, and even defiantly uttered a loud chant that only a victor deserves.

This resulted in muffled thumping sounds coming from the next room all night, as well as the sound of teeth grinding in suppressed anger.

If it weren't for the fear of causing too much of a commotion, Rhodes probably would have loved to just fire a fireball and blow Noin to smithereens.

The usual sisterly bond crumbles in the face of something like this...

The next morning, at the dining table.

As soon as Norin picked up the milk, she met a gaze that seemed capable of killing.

Leyana, with dark circles under her eyes, stared intently at her with a resentful gaze that seemed to tangible.

Norin calmly took a sip of milk, showing no emotion whatsoever.

Hehe, that's my coming-of-age ceremony, so what's wrong with being a little arrogant!

Besides, if she were back in Orario, with Goddess Astrea overseeing her, she wouldn't be so unrestrained; she'd probably indulge herself now!

However, that evening, when Leyana won, Noin immediately sat down in a chair and painfully expressed her regret.

An even more intense and thorough "revenge" unfolded in Rhodes' room!

The battle was so fierce, with lightning, thunder, and torrential rain, that Norin also ended up with panda eyes the next morning.

And so, for the next few days, Rhodes enjoyed the benefits of the fierce competition between the two beautiful girls at night.

During the day, Nuoyin and Leyana briefly transform into harmonious, homebody best friends, either holed up in their villa frantically catching up on all sorts of common sense about this world, or dragging Cheng Xiaoya along for a shopping spree in various malls.

As for farming dungeons in this world to improve your stats?

The two girls were surprisingly in agreement – ​​what a joke!

We've worked so hard in Orario for so many years to maintain world order, and now that we're finally on our honeymoon, can't we even enjoy ourselves?!

H Country, Hunter Association Headquarters.

The atmosphere in the president's office was heavy and tense.

Gao Jianli, the president of the Hunter Association of Country H, had his brows furrowed into a deep frown.

His thin fingers tapped on a few photos on the table, producing a dull sound.

"Three S-rank hunters entered the country without a trace! They were only discovered now! What are those useless people at customs doing?!"

Despite being over eighty years old, his still robust and upright physique, and the sharp eyes shining through his glasses, still exuded a beast-like aura, making the secretary opposite him break out in a cold sweat.

"President, Mr./Ms. President..."

The secretary wiped the sweat from her forehead, her hands trembling.

"Then...should we meet with this gentleman named [Rhodes]?"

Gao Jianli's gaze fell on the photograph.

It was the profile of a young man, with distinct features, and his gaze, which seemed to pierce through the photograph, made even the seasoned old man Gao Jianli feel a pang of fear.

He shook his head, his voice hoarse and heavy.

"It's too late. The other side had already noticed our investigators' presence."

"These photos serve as both a notification and a warning—a warning to us not to get in his way."

"But!" The secretary clenched her fists, her face full of resentment.

"Are we just going to let these three [Cataclysmic] beings roam freely across our land without any oversight?! What if they have some kind of conspiracy...?"

"if not?"

Gao Jianli leaned back heavily on the wide chair back and let out a weary sigh.

"Do you want our country H to engage in a direct conflict with that terrifying neighboring country that boasts the world's largest number of hunters, the highest number of S-rank hunters in Asia, and is also headed by a [national authority]?"

He tapped the table with his knuckles.

"Think about it, what would happen to our country H if we really did that?"

This series of rhetorical questions was like a bucket of ice water, chilling the secretary to the bone and leaving her speechless.
