A man mistakenly becomes the city lord of the land, conquering all the heavens and myriad worlds.

"Ahem...we'll talk about that later. Now, let me introduce you to your 'new friend'."

Thank you all for your support! The data is much more than I, a lazy bum, imagined. I will try my best to update it every day!

If it's not enough, we'll find a way to make up for it!

Chapter 43: DanMachi - Adventurers Invade Another World and the Heretics' Rebellion!

In the lobby of the guest house behind the Adventurers' Guild, Chen Hai gathered everyone together.

He planned to introduce Saeko Busujima, Rei Miyamoto, Saya Takagi, and others who had come to Orario for refuge to Hestia.

The maids arranged by the guild prepared snacks and tea, and then left the scene.

Chen Hai took his seat and looked towards the corridor connecting the guest room area.

"They'll be here soon."

"They're all from another world? They came to Orario through that 'dimensional gate' in the dungeon?"

Hestia was curious about the identity of the guest she was about to meet.

"That's right, there's something wrong with the world they live in."

"What's the problem?"

The girl with the blue ribbon decided to find out.

Chen Hai offered a brief explanation for this.

A sudden outbreak of viruses and monsters that can move even when dead—these 'dead bodies' that are gradually invading the world pose a huge threat to humanity.

Hestia was not surprised after hearing this.

She stared at the freshly picked fruit on the table.

Orario has far more strange occurrences than the other world.

"After being attacked, those corpses turn into monsters... It sounds a bit scary, but it can't compare to the monsters in the dungeons, right? Doesn't that world have any forces to fight against them? Like adventurers who hunt monsters in dungeons, no... it's not hunting them now, it's repelling them!"

The meticulous Hestia made the corrections.

Chen Hai pushed the delicious-looking fruit in front of the goddess and responded...

"That world has armed forces that can use all kinds of firearms and artillery, but if the virus breaks out from within, the entire system will collapse, won't it? It's like the main god of a clan disappearing."

Having watched the anime, Chen Hai did not learn the specific movements of the 'world's armies' from the plot.

It's possible that the author deliberately arranged for the heavy firepower units to be infected by the virus.

Unfortunately, the final interpretation rests with the author.

"So... I think it should be easy for dungeon adventurers to solve problems in that world."

"An interesting suggestion."

"Hehe~"

Hestia grinned.

Having come from the celestial realm to the human world, she was actually quite interested in the 'other world' that Chen Hai had mentioned.

"I think Chen Hai Jun can select adventurers he thinks are powerful, and then let those adventurers fight monsters from another world. In this way, Chen Hai Jun's influence will definitely be elevated to a higher level."

"That's definitely a good approach."

Let the adventurers from "DanMachi" 'invade' the "Dead Body" dimension and kill the monsters.

Finally, the 'Chenhai Force's Strike Plan Against the Dead' was announced to the entire world.

This should be able to quickly increase the occupancy rate of the "Dead Bodies" dimension.

After all, just like modern firearms, powerful magic can easily sweep away a group of 'dead bodies'.

Moreover, it ensures cleanliness and no pollution, in line with the rules of environmentalists (laughs).

"I can go and take a look then."

Hestia made no attempt to hide her interest in the other world.

Chen Hai prioritized the proposal of 'Danger Adventurers Invading Other Dimensions' among his various plans.

After all, if the invasion rate of the 'dead body' plane is maxed out, the entire planet will become a source of experience points for Chen Hai.

Footsteps then reached the Second Middle School.

It was the sound of multiple footsteps.

Chen Hai and Hestia looked towards the corridor and saw Saeko Busujima, Rei Miyamoto, and others appear.

"Sorry, I'm late."

After Miyamoto Rei finished speaking, she straightened her clothes.

"I'm very grateful to the Adventurers' Guild for the dress they provided, but I still feel a little uncomfortable with it."

Wearing a long dress made of exquisite fabric, Miyamoto Rei felt somewhat uncomfortable.

Like her, Saeko Busujima, the Takagi mother and daughter, and Shizuka Marikawa also changed their modern clothes into medieval-style dresses.

In this way, everyone has a bit of the 'DanMachi' vibe.

"Please have a seat, everyone. This is my friend, Miss Hestia."

Upon hearing the introduction, everyone greeted Hestia.

After responding, Hestia suddenly targeted Saeko Busujima.

She looked at the wooden sword that Yako carried with him and grabbed his hand.

Are you interested in joining a clan?

……

That really came as a surprise.

In Hestia's eyes, Saeko Busujima seems to be a promising new star.

However, Saeko Busujima did not accept.

“I don’t know what a clan is… and my main task right now is to follow Chenhai’s orders.”

Saeko Busujima wants to become stronger.

Especially the immense power that Ais displayed.

Therefore, Saeko Busujima decided to follow Tatsumi forever.

"Following instructions doesn't mean obeying everything, right?"

"Why do you ask?"

Saeko Busujima looked puzzled. Hestia didn't answer, but looked at Tatsumi and then at Shizuka Marikawa.

Shizuka Marikawa noticed Hestia's gaze and quickly stood up.

"Would you like to eat this grape first? You can have it!"

Completely misunderstanding, Shizuka Marikawa pushed the plate of grapes in front of Hestia.

amount……

Hestia was somewhat speechless, but still responded with a smile.

"No need... thank you..."

"Alright, alright, let's not talk about that. The reason I gathered everyone here today is to discuss your future plans."

Chen Hai decided to steer the conversation back on track.

Shizuka Marikawa can work in the medical ward;

Yuriko Takashiro has a good head for business and is able to help guild members.

Then there's Saeko Busujima, Rei Miyamoto, and Saya Takagi.

Among them, Ya Zi has the greatest potential, and Chen Hai believes that she should be given special attention and training.

Just as he had turned Ais Wallenstein into his 'city member'.

Boom boom boom!

There was a knock on the door.

Shizuka Marikawa, who was closest to the door, opened it, and Eina, panting heavily, stood outside.

"Mr. Chenhai! Excuse me! We just received reports from many adventurers that a riot has broken out on the 20th underground level! Extremely powerful monsters have emerged, and the adventurers have all been severely injured!"

"I see."

"Um...aren't you worried?"

"I'll take care of it right now."

Chen Hai knew exactly what had happened.

That's the floor where the heretics are active.

Chen Hai originally intended to have the powerful heretic suppress the adventurers, forcing them to fight seriously and risk everything, thereby generating more experience points.

It now seems like asking the impossible...

So--

It's time to let these heretics find a different way to work.

Chapter Forty-Four: The Heretic's Worries, and the City Lord's Visit!

Orario Dungeon - Floor 20.

In the dark and cramped passage, the mournful cry of an adventurer suddenly rang out.

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!!!!"

Terrified screams and footsteps echoed together in the passageway.

"Why did it turn out like this?!"

The fleeing adventurers were completely bewildered and began to complain.

"I updated my card according to Lord Chenhai's rules! That's how I gained the qualification to explore the 20th underground level!"

He fell to the ground in a sorry state, face-first into the dirt.

Without any hesitation, the adventurer quickly got up, ignoring the scraped wound and blood on his forehead, and continued running despite the excruciating pain in his arm.

"And what happened?! Wasn't this level 20 monster a bit too strong?!"

Could it be something wrong with me?

Is my adventurer rank fake?

The one-eyed man, level 3, began to ponder what he had done wrong, filled with doubt.

Updating cards is fine, floors are fine, exploring areas is fine, finding magic stones is fine, and defeating monsters in the early stages is fine.

But in the later stages, which is now, he is completely overwhelmed by a monster.

Not only him, but several other adventurers had also been beaten black and blue before him.

At first, people thought those adventurers were overestimating their abilities.

Even if you update your cards and get a designated location assigned by the guild, you shouldn't approach dungeon areas casually.

Because some areas have a large number of monsters, the level of danger is higher.

The only saving grace is that 'monsters won't kill adventurers like they used to.'

In contrast, after adventurers defeat monsters, the monsters are absorbed and repaired by the dungeon, quickly returning to the battlefield.

However, this period of time is enough for the adventurers to take their loot.
