You are very strong, but my painting style is better than yours!

Because of his racial traits, he wasn't very good at complex thinking or understanding people's hearts, and he struggled to cope with changes he didn't understand. Generally, whenever he encountered similar situations, the little fairies who followed him would help him handle them.

But since Ba Xiu is all alone at this moment, don't expect him to have any clever solutions.

If you don't understand, ask! If you get lost, ask a local!

This is the simplest and most direct way!

However, just as Ba Xiu was about to step towards the trembling man, a sudden change occurred—

Boom boom boom——!

A tangible wind pressure swept down from the sky, the powerful force causing the four to stop and look up at the sky.

"what?!"

The enormous shadow blocked out the sunlight, encompassing the entire street corner, and as the shadow gradually expanded, a "giant" gleaming with metallic luster descended.

The crowd erupted in uproar and scattered in panic. The giant, ten meters off the ground, automatically emitted a scorching stream of air, greatly reducing the impact of its fall and narrowly avoiding harming the innocent.

hum!

The steel structure landed directly, leaving a deep footprint on the ground, causing the entire ground to tremble.

It was a giant over twenty meters tall, with cold and hard metallic lines!

However, it is not the classic "Gundam" design. It has fewer rigid external armor and more sharp lines. It is even equipped with a variety of cold weapons, making it look like a knight among robots.

The moment it landed, it drew everyone's attention, and the chaotic crowd fled in all directions, creating a great commotion.

They clearly understood that such a giant robot, which looked like cutting-edge technology, could not possibly have been developed by the Japanese government.

The only one who remained unmoved was Ba Xiu. He looked up at the massive steel knight and reached out to grasp the hilt of the sword on his shoulder.

Wow, it's huge... several times bigger than the strongest "troll". Is it actually a magical beast inside? Or maybe a "colossus" made by a mage?

It is a combat weapon that uses the bodies of giants or large magical beasts as a base, inscribes various alchemical formulas, and then undergoes biochemical modification to ultimately create a siege weapon that is as tireless as the undead.

In Ba Xiu's memory, nothing good ever came from encountering such a thing, so he was prepared for battle once again this time.

Clang!

Upon landing, as the power was transferred, the Steel Knight drew out a strangely shaped weapon that seemed to combine a gun and a sword, and pointed it at the Overlord.

—This seems to confirm Ba Xiu's conjecture.

"They really are the enemy!"

If the fairy race with whom he usually cooperated and benefited were still around, Ba Xiu probably wouldn't have rashly released hostility. But now he can only rely on his own mind—the mindset of the orc race—to make judgments, so he can foresee what kind of outcome will occur.

"There's no need for a magician's toy to introduce itself. I'll accept this opponent!"

Ba Xiu squatted down slightly, and you could almost hear the cracking of his bones.

Bang-!

The ground suddenly cracked open, and the unparalleled jumping power propelled the orc hero toward the steel colossus, which was ten times his height.

"Drink!"

The greatsword, sharp as a cone, traced a meteor-like arc in the air, swung out with extreme compressed wind pressure.

It was less like slashing with a sword and more like striking with a heavy hammer!

Ka!

The mech looked down at the fearless hero, and its metallic body began to move, powered by an immense amount of energy.

An invisible force field covered the muzzle of the gun, distorting even the spatial image. In the instant the light flashed, all the kinetic energy was released.

boom--!

The greatsword and the energy beam collided, instantly triggering a deafening explosion.

The vibrating air formed vortices that swept outwards in all directions.

The outcome of this contest was without a doubt. The mech only tilted slightly backward, while the hero, Ba Xiu, was sent flying like a bird with broken wings, crashing through a concrete wall and disappearing into the depths of the building.

But soon, a powerful burst of fighting spirit erupted, causing the earth to tremble slightly.

boom!

Amidst the flying dust, the orc hero emerged from the breach, a trickle of blood at the corner of his mouth. But with each step he took, his injuries lessened, and he quickly recovered and even surpassed his previous imposing presence.

"Cough—Ptooey!"

Ba Xiu shook his head violently, spat out a mouthful of saliva mixed with blood and dirt, revealed an extremely ferocious smile, and leaped up.

"You're pretty strong."

Despite suffering such a heavy blow, he seemed completely unaffected; his physical strength was truly astonishing.

"No way?!"

A surprised voice came from inside the mech.

"It's still alive? What kind of magical beast is this? Could it be a duel-level or higher... that small?"

The pilot seemed incredulous that his mech had been shaken.

Upon hearing the voice, Heroic Overlord paused slightly, slowing his strides as he involuntarily asked, "...A woman?"

"Tsk!"

This question caused a moment of silence. After a while, the mecha's eyes suddenly lit up, and it raised its huge foot and stomped down hard on the tyrant.

At the same time, an annoyed voice came from inside the mech: "I'm sorry, but I'm a man!"

Ba Xiu looked surprised, but without hesitation, he dodged the mecha just as it raised its foot, avoiding the heavy pressure of the massive steel body.

To be fair, the driver's voice was indeed somewhat androgynous, and not easy to distinguish at first glance; it would be more accurate to call it a female voice.

"Even if it's a female, I will never show mercy in battle!"

The tyrannical cultivator seemed not to believe the other party, taking it merely as an excuse, and this was not surprising—

Being defeated by orcs meant a very tragic end awaiting them; this race was notorious.

Once orcs realize that they are fighting a woman, especially a female knight, they often go into a frenzy, their strength increasing by a whole level. Therefore, for people from other worlds, hiding their gender when encountering orcs is basic common sense.

...However, what Ba Xiu actually wanted to tell the other party was that there was no need to be so wary of him.

Because he wasn't an ordinary orc.

What he sought was not to share women like his kind. In every aspect, Ba Xiu was the best of the best among beastmen and the best of the best among warriors. The only thing he desired was to have a woman who belonged only to him, that is, a "wife" in human society.

Furthermore, it is not through force that one wins over the other party, but through one's own charm.

—This is undoubtedly a feat that the orc race could never accomplish!

To date, while there have been marriages among orcs, their partners have mostly been non-human races such as trolls, lizardmen, and succubi. There are no instances in history books where humans or elves would willingly marry into their families.

Even the Demon Emperor thought it was a reckless move, but Ba Xiu was still inexplicably confident—perhaps because his fairy companions had been stirring things up.

The novel "Tales of the Orc Heroes" tells the story of a virgin orc who embarks on a journey to marry his wife.

Then, he would often say this to the women he met:

"If I win, I hope I can give it a serious consideration."

"what?"

"Could you give me a chance to propose to you?"

"..."

Silence, followed by a magical reaction that accelerates at breakneck speed, like a turbocharged engine.

Strong! Strong! Strong!

"Maximum output, Igarka!"

As a man burdened with a marriage contract, he—Elnesti Echeberia—must not fall here!

"Okay, come on!"

His gaze sharpened, a red light flashed in his eyes, and he gripped the greatsword with both hands, swinging it heavily. His soaring battle aura actually materialized, blowing away the surrounding rubble.

"Since it's being operated by humans inside, they must give their names—"

My name is [Ba Xiu]! The warrior captain of the Third Legion of the Demon Army, a warrior bestowed the title 'Hero' by His Majesty the Demon Emperor!

My name is El!

Inside the cockpit, a petite girl with silver hair, blue eyes, wearing a white uniform and black over-the-knee boots... and a boy even cuter than the girl, showed an unprecedentedly serious expression.

"I'll stake my honor on the Crystal Knights!"

……

On a high-rise building, Altair watched this scene in silence.

It seems like I messed up. These two personalities aren't exactly easy to control in terms of their character design... Oh well, at least I've got some exposure now.

At least that orc is someone we can try to win over...

Alright! Let's bring in another orc elf from another world with strange sexual fetishes and a love fetish!

Chapter 454 Please begin your performance.

A crimson flash streaked past, flying along the tower to the upper level of the observation tower. It nimbly flipped over and landed gracefully on the ground. It was Ceresia, who had just defeated the monster and come to rescue everyone.

"It must have been really tough for you to hold on until now, but you can rest assured now."

Ceresia pointed her beloved sword straight at the enemy, "We will fight alongside you."

"..."

No one spoke in response, and a brief silence fell over the room.

Ceresia was slightly taken aback, then blinked in confusion when she saw the blond boy kneeling on the ground and Iori standing proudly in the center of the field.

Upon closer inspection, Meteora and the creator Kubo are both speechless, while at Iori's feet, who is holding a sword in one hand, lie the corpses of familiars that are dissipating.

The blond boy who previously exuded an unusual sense of oppression has now lost that aura, leaving only a youthful and weak appearance that matches his age.

—Celecia suddenly understood what had happened.

Just then, Iori's extremely serious voice reached the red-haired female swordsman's ears:

"Everyone should be careful, he's ridiculously strong."

"???"

"His strength is no less than mine. He seems to be at a disadvantage, but he is actually accumulating strength. He will strike hard when we are careless!"

Upon hearing this, Celestia and the others looked dazed. Although it was a stark contrast to their initial impression, they still became tense and vigilant.

The Sorrowful King raised his head and stared blankly at Iori, opening his mouth slightly as if to say something—

"I knew it! How could that Sorrowful King be so weak!"

Kubo clenched his small fist, his tone as if he had expected it.

"He's the final boss of the entire story. Characters like him have multiple trump cards. It's impossible for him to be so easily crushed like this. He must be faking it!"

"..."

The Sorrowful King let out a soft "Ah~", hesitated, and finally closed his mouth with a complicated look in his eyes.

“That’s one of the thirteen supreme kings.”

Kubo continued speaking, and his words caused the white-haired sage and the red-haired swordsman to show serious expressions.

"They correspond to the Seven Deadly Sins, the Four Virtues, and the two Old Gods who were replaced. Each of them possesses unique skills, and the King of Sorrow is the boss among bosses!"

Not only is his true form an immortal, ethereal entity, but the person he possesses is the world's strongest esper... With such an impressive setup, how could he possibly be beaten to his knees? He's definitely playing dumb to take advantage of the situation!

"What a treacherous fellow!"

"Hmm, I didn't expect that someone who seems so cheerful is actually a strategist skilled in using tactics."

Ceresia and Meteora nodded to each other. Having seen through the conspiracy, they were even more cautious than before, their gazes towards the Sorrowful King filled with apprehension.

"..."

The blond boy was initially a little confused, but after noticing Meteora and the others' reactions, he took a deep breath and his eyes hardened.
