Their commission was suspicious.

"I tried to make friends at the bar, but making friends is never that easy. And making friends in another world seems even more complicated."

Kasukabe Yo doesn't understand the principle, but her progress in making friends with people from another world is indeed slower.

"Ah, isn't making friends easy?"

“…The Catalogue of Life is yours; you shall be the one who bestows this gift,” Kasukabe Yo said, puffing out his cheeks.

That's what they say, but it's just a joke. This gift is a precious treasure left to Yao by her father.

“I think I might indeed be more suited to this gift… but my talent is essentially a higher level than yours. You gain the permanent abilities of people of other races by befriending them, while I gain their full abilities by fulfilling their wishes and befriending them. Your gift is easier to activate than my talent, although the effect is a bit weaker…” Chen Luo said, stroking his chin.

“In other words…” Kasukabe Akira’s eyes flickered.

"In other words, you have the talent of an EX-level. Keep up the good work, young lady." Chen Luo patted Kasukabe Yao on the shoulder.

"Yes." Kasukabe Yō nodded vigorously.

"I'll introduce you to some non-human friends later, you know... they might be a little ugly, I hope you don't mind."

"...Isn't that a very rude way to describe it?"

It was rare for Kasukabe Yo to hear such offensive words from Chen Luo.

[Ding! Mission complete!]

[Ding! Mission complete!]

These are two commissions.

One is a request that Yao hopes to be able to help with.

One was a request from others who hoped Yao could be more confident.

The Gift of Radiance is a typical growth-type Gift with an extremely high potential.

Indeed, he shares many similarities with Chen Luo in terms of talent.

In any case, you can only gain better benefits by making friends with the other party.

However, Chen Luo rarely buys his friends' talents through discounts anymore, because he doesn't need them.

However, Chen Luolai's special help to Kasukabe Yao was definitely not entirely because of the raw gem.

Instead, Chen Luo sensed Kasukabe Yō's deep desire.

As Chen Luo gains a deeper understanding of his own talents, the way he perceives wishes has also changed.

Everyone carries some wishes, but Kasukabe Yō's wish shone like a bright sun in this dark world, captivating Chen Luo's gaze.

Now Chen Luo has reached a point where he is driven by his desires rather than by the raw stones.

However, it is true that desires that are truly captivating often reward a great deal of gems.

"Let's go, the Gift Game starts in 10 minutes. I'll show you around and let you know what to do next," Izayoi Sakamaki said to Yo Kasukabe.

"Mm." Feeling that she could help her companion, Kasukabe Yō nodded vigorously.

Kasukabe Yō's habit of refusing to rely on others because he doesn't want to trouble his companions should change after this Demon King's Gift competition.

Chen Luo was equally satisfied, and then left in his wheelchair.

"Speaking of which, Chen Luo, isn't your wheelchair non-conductive? Why did the lightning only hit you and not Fu Hua behind you?" Izayoi Sakamaki asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Wheelchairs conduct electricity, but deities do not."

"godhead?"

"Yes, that's right. This is a wheelchair with divine power. It can fight Pest to a standstill."

Pest couldn't break through the wheelchair's defenses, and the wheelchair couldn't kill Pest either.

It's a 50/50 split.

Commonly known as chickens pecking at each other.

"...Suddenly I have more confidence in defeating the Demon King."

"It's good to have confidence. By the way, your old friend Weser has also attained godhood. Oh, right, Izayoi, after you defeat Weser, remember to retrieve his weapon; I need it. As a reward, I'll give you one chance to draw a card."

"Okay. But... which card should I draw?"

"You'll find out when the Gift Game is over."

……

The signal for the game to resume occurred alongside a violent earthquake. The palace, built by carving through the boundary wall, was swallowed by light, and intense rainbow light enveloped the area where the participants were located.

Looking up, the enormous boundary wall that almost reached the sky had vanished without a trace, replaced by an unfamiliar streetscape that stretched out outside the palace.

Looking around, the numerous spires and arches have undergone a dramatic transformation, becoming wooden structures.

The chandelier lights that created the twilight atmosphere have disappeared, pink-colored buildings have been rebuilt around the area, and the foot of the boundary wall has been completely transformed into a town.

This is the power of Hamel's grimoire; everyone has been brought to Hamel Town.

Although they had left the familiar venue and had no advantage in terms of location, the contestants had no idea where the stained glass was, but finding the church first was definitely the right thing to do!

"Since the game board is set in Hamel Town, the stained glass should be hidden somewhere! As for how to distinguish between the [False Inheritance] and the [True Inheritance], please follow instructions after you find the glass!" Under Ren's command, the search team began their operation.

The game area was not set up immediately because the events of Hamel's Piper occurred at a different time than the events of the Black Death.

If a Gothic town were to be transformed into a Renaissance-style town, any pre-arranged scheme would naturally be exposed.

Having long since broken away from the group and acted alone, Izayoi Sakamaki climbed up the largest building in town and looked around.

The town of Hamel, bathed in the hues of sunset, occupied a terrain unlike anything Izayoi and the others knew.

However, only the parts based on the Hamel tradition were built with particular exquisite detail.

"Let's settle this once and for all, kid!" Just as Izayoi Sakamaki was examining the building, a loud shout rang out, and the building beneath Izayoi's feet exploded from directly below.

Upon hearing the sound, Izayoi reflexively jumped into the air to try to dodge, but Wese, as if to continue the pursuit, sprang out from the ground.

"This is a return gift from last time! I'm going to make the first move!" Weser struck Izayoi hard in the abdomen with a huge flute that resembled a club.

This attack carried an immense power on a completely different level than the last one, permeating Izayoi's body like a super shock.

"Tai Chi Chuan uses minimal force to deflect a great weight!"

To everyone's surprise, this attack, which Wesel had been wielding with all its might, was easily neutralized by Izayoi Sakamaki, who even managed to deflect it back at Wesel with tremendous force.

As the saying goes: "Izayoi Sakamaki knows martial arts, and no one can stop her."

Izayoi Sakamaki's body is so strong that there is nowhere that can withstand his training except the training room in the bar.

Moreover, Izayoi Sakamaki doesn't have a good teacher... but Izayoi Sakamaki has memory bread.

Although the memory bread is indeed a bit expensive, Izayoi Sakamaki, as a family member of an employee (Canary), can still borrow it interest-free.

Can you withstand the power of dozens of martial arts masters in one punch?

"It's this bizarre fighting method..." Wesser said, displeased.

Izayoi Sakamaki, who knows martial arts, is truly terrifying.

Previously, Izayoi Sakamaki was recklessly wasting her innate power and squandering her talent, but things are different now.

There are many people in the bar who can fight, and quite a few of them are skilled in physical combat.

Tai Chi Chuan, in particular, is a style of martial arts that uses the weak to overcome the strong. If the user is already strong enough...

Kid, have you ever heard of Zhang Sanfeng of Wudang?

"Perfect timing, kid. This is the first time I've gained godhood since being summoned. It would be too disappointing if it ended too easily!" Weser grinned and swept his flute horizontally with force.

The powerful impact created air currents that cleaved the Weser River, causing flooding and reversing the river's flow, which then destroyed buildings along its banks.

"That's impressive," Chen Luo commented from the side.

This is the raw combat power of a demon who has attained godhood.

If the original body is not strong, even if one obtains a higher level of divinity, one will not be much stronger. For example, Chen Luo's wheelchair only has two advantages: it is extremely sturdy and can move freely anywhere (including in the air).

If Izayoi Sakamaki were to obtain godhood, it would be even more terrifying.

"What, River God who can't participate in the battle, are you planning to stand by and glare at me to death?" Wese laughed quite happily.

Wei Xi, who had once been severely suppressed by Chen Luo, the river god, now watched Chen Luo from the sidelines with a sense of schadenfreude.

"Let's go. The battle here is over. Izayoi, break his flute and he'll disappear, but remember to bring the flute back to me." Chen Luo shouted at Izayoi.

"Okay." Izayoi Sakamaki replied, a smile spreading across her face, and began to play Weser's flute intently.

Kick the cripple's lame leg hard!

Let me show you the true value of the "inch strike that opens the sky" technique!

Feeling the force of Izayoi Sakamaki striking his flute, Weser could no longer laugh.

Chapter 2056 The God of Mount Tai Appears, the Dead Resurrected! I'm going to give you all a good show, something really funny!

The melody played by the Pied Piper of Hamelin was more beautiful than any music Asuka had ever heard. The enchanting magic flute, with its soaring and dreamlike tunes, began to entice Asuka.

Through the sound of the magic flute that rang in her ears, Asuka saw the dream of the past world that she had abandoned.

The world outside the cage that I've longed for since childhood—crossing walls, crossing oceans, crossing borders… being with my deceased parents and sisters, free from all constraints, running around with a smile on my face.

Experience the Halloween dreams that were never realized in the past with your lost family members.

The bird kept all of this to itself, then suddenly snapped out of its reverie.

When she came to her senses, she realized that the performance had already ended.

"Clap clap clap, what a wonderful performance!" Chen Luo couldn't help but applaud as well.

Asuka wanted to see if Lartin's magic flute could sway the loyalty of the red steel giant who had already succumbed to her, so she allowed Lartin to play a tune on the magic flute once more.

This extremely self-centered and inefficient way of thinking certainly fits the persona of a problem child.

Chen Luo also brought his assistant here to listen to this wonderful piece of music.

As Chen Luo listened to the other person's beautiful music, he seemed to see himself sleeping in a pile of rubble.

Another voice lingered in that space: My child, on the day you were born, the whole world whispered your name.

[A clumsy imitation of the forests of Lorendan. But since you're dreaming, why not be bolder and imagine the entire dimensional sea whispering your name?]

"..." Faced with a user-friendly plugin that completely oblivious to his cues, Chen Luo chose...

Wait, the humanized plugin seems to be Chen Luo's eyes, then it's alright.

La Ting, who had just been severely injured, forced herself to finish playing a piece, then knelt down and, along with the dripping blood, turned into particles of light and gradually disappeared.

"Goodbye then, lovely lady. Thank you for your appreciation. Please give my regards to my master." Lating smiled at the end.

"I should be thanking you for your wonderful performance."

Lating conceded defeat and vanished with the wind. A bird picked up the fallen flute.

"Can I have it?" Fu Hua pushed the wheelchair over, and Chen Luo asked.

"Sure, but what do you need this for?"

"Used for repairs."

"...You plan to summon Latin back after she just disappeared?"

"Pretty much, after all, her flute playing is really beautiful. Don't you think?"

"Indeed... but remember to call me when you enjoy her flute playing." Asuka tossed the white flute in her hand to Chen Luo as a way of repaying the Ninth Divine Key.

"Okay. By the way, you've earned one chance to draw a card," Chen Luo said after putting away his flute.

"Huh? Drawing cards?"

"You'll find out after the Gift Game ends. Right now... the Demon King, having discovered that two of his subordinates are dead, is about to go berserk." Chen Luo looked at the three figures fighting in the distant sky.

As Asuka successfully defeated Ratine, while Izayoi Sakamaki also defeated Weser.

This made Pest somewhat unable to hold back.

Furthermore, with only 58 of the 130 pieces of stained glass remaining after being destroyed, if the destruction continues, the spirit that propelled Pest to the position of the Grim Reaper will also disappear. Once the spirit of the deity is lost, even the authority of the organizer may be lost.

Therefore, Pest will no longer waste time, nor will she conserve her strength in order to bring everyone under her command.

"Just get the White Yaksha and that river god, kill everyone else!" As soon as Pest finished speaking, the black wind rushed into the sky.
