Super God: If I punch you, you will die

The laughter was very calm, yet it possessed an invisible, intimidating power. Shivata's body trembled slightly; his heart seemed to skip a beat. His chest heaved, as if he felt an unprecedented pressure.

A fine layer of sweat appeared on Siwata's forehead.

He tried his best to keep his emotions in check.

"Don't worry, I just want to inquire about some minor plays. I have absolutely no interest in myself or anything else."

Lin Yan put on an air of profound mystery.

This is a negotiation technique.

When negotiating with others, one should usually be the one with a comprehensive view of the situation. This will force the other party to reveal all the information they know under pressure. Lin Yan happens to be this kind of person. Even if he's not pretending, he is inherently difficult to understand.

The same applies to sound.

It's not about shouting loudly to have a deterrent effect.

Rather, it is a deterrent force emanating from within.

That's Lin Yan's courage.

Sivata frowned slightly, seemingly considering the implications. He was a relatively astute person, and he had always been highly wary of these two 'uninvited guests,' especially since they even knew some of his secrets.

I felt even more uneasy.

Moreover, the other party seemed to be much stronger than him.

With force...

Victory cannot be guaranteed.

After hesitating for a moment, Sivata said hesitantly, "You guys are so elusive, I can't believe you'd really keep your word."

Do you have any other choice?

Lin Yan spoke calmly. He never negotiated; he gave orders. Absolute orders. He demanded obedience, not bargaining.

"And your current situation... hehe... did the planners on LS's side put you in a dilemma...?"

"who are you?!"

Sivata's eyes were filled with terror. He stared wide-eyed at Lin Yan, as if he had been greatly shocked.

"I am the one who can save you."

Lin Yan said, while also making his demands; he didn't want to waste time with such a minor character. Siwata swallowed hard, watching Lin Yan nervously.

My whole body was stiff.

"You can invite the ALS members yourself. As for cooperation or resistance, the choice is yours. I'm a very 'kind' person."

"Yes or No".

Lin Yan gave a flippant laugh, a laugh that sent a shiver running through Siwata's body. Siwata's guard was crumbling little by little.

That's what makes a true master so terrifying.

Lin Yan and the insignificant Shivata before him were not even on the same level, so the so-called battle of wits and courage was meaningless. As long as Lin Yan stood before Shivata, he would be a great god standing before an ant.

Ants have no choice but to obey.

Unable to resist.

There is no way to escape.

"Yes."

Sivata's throat gurgled, but he couldn't utter a single word. The only sound he made was one of submission, of surrender. His body seemed to have collapsed in an instant, as if all his strength had been drained away.

His legs were trembling.

Like a newborn fawn.

The initial feigned composure has completely vanished.

Asuna, watching this incredible scene from the side, was even more astonished. Lin Yan's strength had far exceeded her expectations. Whether dealing with monsters or humans, Lin Yan seemed to possess a kind of intimidating power that she had never experienced before.

"plz follow me."

"Sivata said."

His attitude became much more respectful, and he seemed to have lost the arrogant wariness and hostility he had shown towards Lin Yan at the beginning. Although, deep in Siwata's eyes, one could see a profound fear, a fear powerful enough to destroy a human mind.

but--

Asuna knew that it wasn't that Lin Yan was being too cruel, but rather that doing so was the fastest shortcut.

"Dong dong dong."

Siwata knocked on the door.

The person who opened the door for them was a short man. Lin Yan and Asuna looked at the man. He was wearing specially made steel plate armor, a very durable helmet, and a spiked club in his hand.

Their faces are also covered by protective gear, so no one's true face can be seen.

Perhaps this is a spy from the ALS hardliners.

Siwata was kept in the dark.

In other words, he could be a spy, an accomplice of Morty.

"Shiva, what's wrong?"

The muffled sound coming from the helmet was incomparable to the voice of the cloaked man from before. Asuna glanced at Shivata, who was also scratching his head in frustration.

"They seem to already know about us... so..."

The armored man scrutinized Lin Yan and Asuna, but his face was completely obscured, so it was impossible to discern his expression.

"is it?"

The armored man didn't seem flustered, or perhaps he was just maintaining a facade of composure, like Shivata, responding to external changes with a calm and collected demeanor.

Asuna was momentarily at a loss for words, but she knew that as long as she remained silent, Lin Yan would resolve all the troubles.

perfect.

The armored man couldn't find any flaws in Lin Yan and Asuna, so he slowly nodded and opened the window.

As the steel-colored particles dissipated, the helmet disappeared.

A girl with short, orange hair that reached her eyebrows appeared before Lin Yan and Asuna, and her face was rather cute.

Maybe……

Is he a cute boy? However, his voice has also become clear and lovely.

"You are...."

"If I'm not mistaken, you're the legendary [Men in Black], right? And [Deadsword], too?"

Although Lin Yan once called himself [Deadsword], in reality only a few people knew of the existence of this [Deadsword], and they did not know his true identity.

It's quite remarkable that the cute boy or girl in front of you knows that Lin Yan is that person.

"Although opinions on the rumors about the Man in Black or Deadsword are mixed, I still believe in him."

The man was silent for a moment before speaking again.

"How many people in this world have already been stained with blood? It's something we can't help, especially since the man in black has never harmed any innocent person."

After hearing his reasoning.

Sivata's expression was even more subtle. His eyes widened, almost popping out of their sockets, and his mouth gaped open.

His face was full of disbelief.

It was an unprecedented surprise.

"My name is Lytton."

"That's what Lytton said."

"Miss Lytton, when did you join ALS?"

It was December 22nd.

Lytton answered without hesitation, seemingly remembering the day vividly, or rather, finding it very important.

The day after the fourth floor opened.

"I was chosen by ALS."

Lytton tapped her armor. Her armor was a rare protective item, not something easily obtained, and it was a 'rare item' that was absolutely not sold in NPC shops.

The only way to obtain it might be through customization.

Moreover, the armor with such defensive capabilities is extremely difficult to obtain, both in terms of the sourcing of materials and the complexity of its crafting. For the average player, simply acquiring the materials is enough to deter them from even attempting it.

The method for obtaining metal materials is, in principle, to collect [ore] by striking the walls of mountains or caves with plenty of rock using a pickaxe.

Collect the ore and melt it in the ore-smelting furnace at the NPC's blacksmith shop into [metal plates] or larger volumes of [raw material metal].

Lin Yan estimated that such armor would require at least six pieces of Kangshi.

The iron in Aincrad is what is commonly known as pig iron in the real world, and its performance is slightly better than that of bronze.

However, iron can be forged from pig iron into steel.

This would require an astonishing amount of pig iron. Lin Yan's lips curled into a wicked smile. "An interesting girl."

"This armor is indeed custom-made."

"One thousand two hundred and ninety-nine iron ore, that's really not easy." Lin Yan calculated the required amount of iron ore in one go at level nine.

Upon hearing this, Asuna was even more astonished. How much perseverance would it take to complete such a massive task involving iron ore, let alone for a petite girl like her?

In that instant, Lytton made no attempt to hide the shock on her face.

“I trust you, so I will tell you everything I know, Black-Clad Man.” Lytton’s address to Lin Yan was not at all mocking, but rather showed a hint of reverence.

"However, I have a request."

"it is good."

Lin Yan did not hesitate at all.

Lytton paused briefly before saying, "Please don't reveal this to any third party. Keep this a secret for us."

"please."

"That's what Litten said earnestly."

Although Lytton, like everyone else, knew nothing about the Man in Black—his background, appearance, and whereabouts were all shrouded in mystery—unlike those who only felt fear towards him, Lytton and those who felt gratitude towards him held a sense of awe.

"it is good.".

Lin Yan said without hesitation.

“Thank you,” Lytton said gratefully.

Asuna agreed with Lin Yan's assessment. She had always believed that Lin Yan was someone who, despite his seemingly cold demeanor, cherished life more than anyone else. He possessed his own values ​​and the ability to judge right from wrong.

All of this serves as a benchmark for Asuna.

Lytton looked at Lin Yan and remained silent for a moment before speaking.

"A month ago, I left the town of Beginning. Since it was my first time experiencing a VRMMO, I really wanted to join a strategy group. So I chose the [Heavy Metal Gear] skill, focusing mainly on defense. I value this more than attack speed."

"The direction is very clear."

Lin Yan said.

This is an affirmation of Lytton; a girl who knew her purpose from the very beginning, she is indeed a person of action.

"The shield is my goal. I've been looking for a team that can accept me, and in the process, I've encountered a lot of doubts. They all think that it's very unreliable for a girl to be the shield."
