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

"Okay."

With a calm voice, the shadow behind Rhodes instantly transformed into a black beast that preyed on its prey, opening its massive jaws and swallowing the sword of light and the wind of light, which were enough to destroy the entire training ground, in one gulp!

Not even the slightest trace of its magical power was leaked out.

Liu and Che Huiyi stared wide-eyed.

The entire training ground was deathly silent.

"..."

"..."

The battle between the two women made Rhodes realize one thing completely.

As expected, at this stage, Liu's overall strength is still much stronger than Che Huiyi's.

Especially for Che Huiyi, she still lacks the powerful magic to make the final decision.

The girls watching were stunned by what had just happened.

Celty stared wide-eyed at her beautiful eyes.

"If I'm not mistaken... Rhodes didn't use any magic, he just used his physical speed to suddenly appear between the two of them, even though he was behind?"

Nize was also amazed, her eyes sparkling with pride and excitement.

"Furthermore, although neither of them used their full power to unleash their magic, Rhode was able to take on both of them head-on so effortlessly... The previous Rhode could never have done something like this..."

Unable to contain her curiosity, Leila asked loudly.

"Rhodes! What level are you roughly equivalent to in our current level?"

Rod turned around and met the girls' gazes, which were a mixture of curiosity, shock, and anticipation, and gave them a gentle smile.

"Not high, only LV.7."

After a suffocating silence.

“Level 7?! !”

An unbelievable, synchronized gasp echoed throughout the night sky of the Garden of Stars.

As night falls, the restaurant in the Garden of Stars is brightly lit, and the long table is laden with a sumptuous dinner that makes one's mouth water.

However, the girls were still unable to extricate themselves from Rhodes's incredible level.

“Hmm…”

Asta tore off a large bite of the tempting, charred roasted meat, her cheeks puffed out like a hamster's. As she chewed, she mumbled weakly and indistinctly.

"This feeling... is like the childhood friend you've always taken care of like a younger brother."

"I just slept for a while, and when I woke up the next morning, I suddenly became the country's strongest hero... It's like a dream."

In contrast, Chloe seemed carefree, hugging a grilled fish thicker than her arm, happily munching on it while excitedly raising her little fist and shouting.

"Rhodes~ When will you become Orario's number one cat? Today! Today, meow!"

"Snapped!"

A tightly crumpled piece of paper hit her head precisely where it was bouncing around.

Lunova withdrew her hand and said irritably.

"Take your time playing on that tablet! Heaven knows what kind of rubbish is going through your head, you stupid cat..."

Che Huiyi quietly savored the noisy yet incredibly warm atmosphere, and a genuine smile involuntarily appeared on her face.

None of the people here have that smell that I hate...

So, this is where I belong after all.

Just then, Maru, who had been sitting quietly next to Rhodes, gently poked Rhodes' arm with her slender fingers.

She tilted her head slightly and asked softly.

"Rhodes...you're already Lv.7, why are you in such a hurry...to go to the next world?"

This question instantly silenced the noisy restaurant.

Rod had just picked up a piece of sweet and sour tomato pie with his fork when he heard this. He put the food in his mouth and hesitated for a moment.

Indeed, my world, which I'm upgrading on my own, is still at least a month away from the crucial Jeju Island incident, so there's no rush to go back immediately.

In the world of One Piece, the ability of the "King of Hard Work," Koby, should theoretically yield greater benefits the sooner it's acquired, but...

He glanced at his meager prayer points. If he went now, he probably wouldn't be able to replicate many decent abilities; the cost-effectiveness was too low.

So he put down his fork and looked around at all the girls who were looking at him expectantly.

“How about this,” he said with a hearty smile, “when everyone’s total prayer points reach 50,000, let’s go to the next world together and have a nice vacation, okay?”

Rod paused for a moment, then turned his gaze to the goddess in the main seat, who had been gently watching everyone, and his smile became even brighter.

"Of course, that includes our most adorable goddess as well."

"Eh?!"

Astraea opened her mouth slightly in surprise, and then a captivating blush spread from her snow-white neck all the way to her ears.

She lowered her noble head somewhat shyly and said in a voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz.

"Cute and adorable... Rod, you seem to have gotten a little bolder lately!"

To this, Rhodes gave a perfectly reasonable answer in his mind.

I've worked so hard to become stronger, and if I still can't be with the person I want to protect... cough cough, if I still can't be with the person I want to protect, then even if I die, I won't be content!

After a brief moment of stunned silence, thunderous cheers erupted in the restaurant!

"Oh oh oh oh oh—! Long live Rhodes! Long live the Goddess!"

"Let's go on vacation! Let's go on vacation!"

The girls, who were initially exhausted from a day of fighting and training, seemed to be instantly injected with boundless energy, each one full of spirit and with shining eyes.

They couldn't wait to rush out of their post right now and continue to fight crime and eradicate evil in the streets and alleys!

Seeing this somewhat familiar scene, Che Huiyi felt a little conflicted.

She glanced furtively at the culprit who was secretly chuckling, and the next second, her eyes met Rhodes's gaze, which held a hint of "warning."

The blonde dancer instantly shuddered like a hamster caught stealing food, lowered her head obediently, and frantically shoveled food into her mouth, daring not to have any other thoughts.

Rhodes sighed with satisfaction in his heart.

See? They willingly worked overtime for me, and in the end, they have to thank me in return.

Where can I find such innocent and kind girls?

Now, we absolutely have to protect them!

However, he wasn't exactly ruthlessly exploiting the girls.

Currently, there are a total of 16 girls with combat abilities in the clan. Even with the 1.5x exchange rate for prayer points, on average, each girl only needs to complete 6 A-rank prayer missions to easily achieve the goal.

The workload seems a bit insufficient...

Sigh, I guess I'm still too kind.

After dinner, the girls went to take a bath in twos and threes, or continued their conversation in the living room.

After exchanging a few words with the goddess, Rhodes returned to his room alone.

He closed the door and lightly waved his right hand on the table.

A jet-black one-handed sword and several bottles of potions shimmering with different lights appeared on the table.

"System, extract the 'indestructible' attribute from the [Vulcan's Blade]."

[Extraction successful. 1600 Wishing Points consumed.]

Congratulations on acquiring the passive skill – Imperishable Body!

[Skill Effect: Your divine body will not be damaged by any form of physical or magical attack!]

The "indestructible" attribute, when applied to weapons, guarantees that they will never be destroyed. However, in sustained intense combat, their sharpness, toughness, and other key properties that affect attack power will inevitably decrease.

but!

If this effect, which can be described as "rule-level", were transferred to the human body, it would mean that, apart from rule-based attacks that can directly obliterate "concepts", he would possess an invincible and perfect indestructible body!

Rhodes clenched his fists, feeling the powerful energy flowing secretly across his body, and almost couldn't help but burst into a maniacal Uchiha laugh.

From this day forward, all those who oppose him will truly experience what suffocating despair is!

Even if he stood still and did nothing, allowing the enemy to attack him, he would be virtually invincible.

Want to defeat me? Sure.

Let's figure out a way to break through Kamui's almost unsolvable intangibility first.

You're exceptionally talented; you've found a way to break the blurring effect?

No problem, there's a second layer of defense: the impregnable Susanoo.

You unleashed your full power and even shattered Susanoo?

Don't rush, there's a third layer: an indestructible body with absolute defense.

Even if you really use your most powerful, devastating moves, you still manage to break through even an indestructible body.

Sorry, I still have a demi-human body, so I can be fully revived on the spot and start over.

Rhodes shook his head, muttering to himself in utter bewilderment.

"That's strange. I always prefer a reckless, aggressive playstyle when I fight, so why am I end up with all these defensive buffs...?"

With these thoughts in mind, Rhode contentedly sheathed the Vulcan Blade and turned his attention to the bottles of potions beside him.

Double recovery potion, advanced healing potion, panacea.

"System, extract their medicinal effects and apply them all to me!"

[3200 Prayer Points have been used, current balance 7800 points.]

[Congratulations! You have acquired the one-time skill - Divine Healing!]

[Skill Effect: Upon activation, it will immediately heal all injuries and fully restore all consumed mental and magical energy within ten minutes.]

The moment the notification sound faded, the power, which never disappoints, activated once again!

Chapter 96 Maru, filled with shame and indignation, the Black Goliath (Please subscribe and vote!)

[Optimizable skill detected... Authority: Perfect Synchronization, activated.]

[Skill effect has been changed to: Permanent passive skill.]

[Effect: Your body will immediately begin automatic healing upon detecting a wound. Your consumed mental and magical energy will slowly recover to full strength over time.]

Rod stroked his chin, his smile growing even brighter.

"Alright, alright, if this keeps going, I'm afraid it'll eventually create some kind of holy body or something..."

However, when he looked at the dwindling balance on the panel, he couldn't help but shake his head slightly.

"Still...not enough money..."

Rhodes suddenly remembered that Lunova had mentioned at the dinner table that the Lone King Goliath of the Labyrinth would respawn on the 18th floor tomorrow.

A thought struck him, and he decided to go and hunt that black behemoth tomorrow to improve his Shadow Legion.

"Perfect timing to test the strength of my new skin... and see what this so-called god-slaying power is all about..."

Meanwhile, in the common lounge of the family members.
