The Cloud-Raised Brave Man's Travels

They lay down beside Kaguya, whose breathing was still steady, and even Koya felt that she was still asleep.

"Keya~~~"

"Wait a minute, Maki, Kaguya's still here!"

"Hey, so many people came last night, and here's only one person here!"

After some hesitation, the two of them started playing poker next to the 'sleeping' Kaguya. Shijo Shinki covered her mouth tightly with her hands, and only a soft humming sound could be heard. If Kaguya was really sleeping, she should not have noticed it, but Kaguya heard it clearly. Her face and ears were red, as if they were about to bleed, but Koya and Shinki, who were absorbed in the doubles game, did not notice it, otherwise this double blackjack game might have turned into a Landlord game.

"How could they, uh—"

Kaguya is no longer the Kaguya before the end of the world. After watching Koya playing poker so many times in the live broadcast room, she understands what she should understand and what she shouldn't understand. At least before, Kaguya didn't know that all three USB ports on the computer can be used. She used to think that as long as the Bluetooth connection was available, she could have a baby. Now she understands that each of the three USB ports has its own use. For example, two of them can only be used for charging, and only one can complete the file transfer task.

Now Kaguya Shinomiya silently opened the live broadcast room. Although Koya was right behind her, she really didn't dare to turn around and open her eyes to watch the scene!

'They're actually using file transfer?! Isn't Zhenfei going to have a baby soon? What will her child call me? No, Koya's child shouldn't call me grandma or anything like that! !'

Although Kaguya Shinomiya was already crying in her heart, she still didn't dare to join this fierce poker game. Half an hour later, the sound of poker gradually faded away. Shijo Shinki, who was really exhausted, lay on Koya and whispered in his ear.

"Kaguya has been awake since the beginning~~"

"Stop joking, go to sleep!"

Koya patted his hands gently, achieving a great harmony of life with Shijo Shinki. He was truly exhausted, unable to squeeze out any more energy. In a daze, he and Shinki fell asleep. Seeing that both of them in the livestream had fallen asleep, Shinomiya Kaguya quietly turned around, looking at the mess before her and snorting in dissatisfaction.

"Bad guy, scumbag, stud!"

But in the end, she still shrank into the arms on the other side of Keya. Although she did not have the courage to join in, she did not want to lose this opportunity to have close contact with Keya.

Chapter 97: Hercules

"Master, I'm going back to Orario the day after tomorrow, but I'm still unsure about how to deal with that mutated Goliath. Can you teach me how to deal with that big guy? I don't want to defeat it, I just hope to be able to protect some people from it."

While sleeping, Koya took the initiative to ask the strong man in his dream for advice for the first time. It was mainly because after the corpse king, the strong man in the dream seemed to have become more talkative. He no longer came up and beat Koya up like before. The strong man now really felt a bit like Koya's master.

"Goliath? Well, that monster's strength has reached Level 5, but its massive size and strong resilience mean it can keep fighting unless the magic stone within it is destroyed. It's a good punching bag indeed."

The strong man didn't care about the change in how Koya addressed him. It was more like he had already regarded Koya as his disciple when he appeared in this strange place. It's just that this guy was too weak before and didn't even have the qualifications to receive his teaching. Fortunately, his growth rate was really good, and after being beaten several times, his body was barely up to standard.

The most important thing is that he likes the reason why Koya wants to fight Goliath this time. Becoming stronger in order to protect others is a very good reason, so he will do his best to teach him this time!

"It's not a wise choice to confront an opponent that's far stronger than you. But before I teach you, let's play with it for a bit."

The burly man sincerely lamented the convenience of this special space. He couldn't die here, and his stamina would return to peak strength the moment a battle ended. Monsters could even appear at will, and most importantly, this thing appeared in his sleep. Wasn't that like exercising 24/7? This thing was even better than Chaldea's battle simulator!

The strong man... never mind, let's just call him by his name. I'm sure everyone has guessed the identity of this strong man: Heracles, a strange being that appeared in Koya's dream space after Fujimaru Tachibana purchased the martial art "Shoot the Hundred Heads." In truth, Heracles had no experience as a master, so he could only follow the methods his master, Chiron, used when he trained him: fighting, then teaching martial arts, and finally fighting again.

For Hercules, who was born with extraordinary bravery, fighting was the best teaching. When he started his apprenticeship in Chiron, Hercules could be said to be proficient in all kinds of martial arts. It was also thanks to Koya that he had the [God Rewards Hard Work] that Jizi originally bought for him, otherwise he might not be able to surpass Hercules' teachings.

After Koya had experienced several deaths by various means including sword, bow, and melee combat using his dragon form, Hercules finally let him rest.

"Is there any way to deal with it?"

"No, his defenses are too strong. Only when I use Brilliant Dragon Transformation can I break his skin, but my attacks are still blocked by his muscles. He's also too big, so I have no chance of reaching vulnerable parts of his body like his eyes and ears. I also tried hitting his internal organs with blunt objects, but that didn't seem to have any effect on him."

"Well, the problem has indeed been found. How do you plan to solve it?"

"do not know……"

"Then go fight it for a while!"

·Dividing line·

“Roar, huh, roar, huh…”

When Koya woke up from her dream, she was gasping for breath and her muscles began to tremble uncontrollably. The two girls around her noticed something was wrong with Koya and quickly put down their phones and asked about his condition with concern.

"It's okay, I just died a lot more times in my dreams. What time is it now, Kaguya?"

"It's about three in the afternoon. Do you want to rest for a while?"

"I'll sit back for a while..."

Koya placed his pillow upright behind him, then closed his eyes and began to recall everything that had just happened in his dream. Although dreams did not consume physical energy, dying too many times at once would shock Koya's mind, forcing him to wake up and prevent him from returning to sleep for a period of time. This was also to prevent Koya from losing his fear of death. After all, he was not truly immortal like in his dreams, and not fearing death would only harm him.

Koya leaned back on the bed, holding two soft, sweet girls in his arms, his mind constantly replaying the battle with Goliath in his dream. The difference in attributes between him and Goliath was too great, and even if he activated the Brilliant Dragon Transformation, it would have little effect on it.

After being brutally abused by Goliath so many times, Koya had long forgotten that his original goal was to ensure the safety of Hatsune Miku, Lefiya and the others under Goliath's command. But now, perhaps due to the subtle influence of Hercules, his thoughts have shifted to how to deal with Goliath.

Shijo Shinki lay quietly in Koya's arms, still exhausted. Having rested all night and morning, Shinomiya Kaguya naturally hadn't put on her pajamas. She leaned against Koya, using his muscular chest as a hand rest, happily scrolling through her phone. Incidentally, before the apocalypse, Shinomiya Kaguya didn't even know how to use a smartphone, but now she's mastered it with one hand.

Because of the network outage, Kaguya Shinomiya could only watch some works that Hayasaka Ai had downloaded for her on her mobile phone before and now transferred to her mobile phone via Bluetooth.

She was currently reading Greek mythology, which gave her a good idea of her relatives' images. She was currently reading the myth of Hercules, and had just come across the impressive feat of this hunk having sex with 49 princesses in one night, impregnating them all, two of whom were twins. Hercules' epic story before the Twelve Trials was simply about going wherever he went, having sex wherever he went, exactly like Zeus.

Kaguya Shinomiya looked at her phone and then at Koya. It was a pity that she didn't know what happened last night, otherwise she would really sigh that her boyfriend really looked like the legendary Hercules! However, if Koya knew what Kaguya Shinomiya was saying, he would definitely refute it loudly. He and Hercules were not at all like each other. At least he didn't like men and would not have sex with snake demons!

Koya racked his brains but could not come up with a solution. If he possessed the honed skills of his master, perhaps he could have fought with some strength, but such martial arts could not be mastered in a short period of time. Currently, he had no way to defeat a Level 5 Goliath. Goliath certainly had a weakness: the magic stone within its body, but this weakness was useless to Koya, as he could neither find the magic stone nor destroy it.

'I hope I can gain something when I go to bed tonight.'

Chapter 98: Terra World

Although some time has passed, the hottest topic in the chat group is still last night's party. Although the live broadcast does not have a playback function, Ji Zi did use recording software to record the whole battle from beginning to end! After waking up and seeing that special video in the chat group, the girls couldn't help but open it to take a look. This look was like opening the door to a new world. Although the poses were a bit simple, the handsome looks of the male and female protagonists and the super long standby time made the girls mesmerized and reluctant to close it.

Now everyone has almost finished watching it, and the chat group is bustling with activity!

Shirona [If I remember correctly, Chikako and the others' goal seemed to be to promote the relationship between Koya, Kaguya, and Ai? Why are there everyone in this video but Kaguya and Ai?]

Shirona hit the nail on the head, but the other people in the chat group did not continue on this topic in order not to embarrass Chika and the others, otherwise Kaguya might really kill Chika. It was also fortunate that Kaguya had been playing with her mobile phone after waking up, otherwise she would have cried to death if she saw the video in the chat group. Speaking of this... he was actually quite curious why Shijo Maki and Koya made such rapid progress, and she even planned to ask her for advice.

Fujimaru Tachibana [Speaking of which, Koya is quite the Greek hero. Although kind and strong, he can't control his lower body and fires wherever he goes.]

Himeko: "After all, he was raised by a Greek god. Tachibana, you should understand that it was Hera, not Zeus, who raised Koya. Otherwise, Koya would have become a stud."

Fujimaru Tachibana [Indeed! 】

Keqing [Is there anyone kind enough to send me a copy of that Greek myth you mentioned?]

Sirona: [Me too, I'm very interested in myths from other worlds.]

Keqing and Shirona knew nothing about Greek mythology, but they did know Hestia was a goddess. They had also heard from others in the chat group that Hera, Koya's grandmother, was suspected to be a goddess in Greek mythology, but they hadn't learned the details. Now, thanks to the topic raised by Fujimaru Tachibana, their curiosity about Greek mythology had been piqued. Of course, as a mythological archaeologist, Shirona had always been interested in the myths of other worlds.

Although the chat group cannot transfer items to other worlds, everyone has already tried uploading files. Fujimaru Tachibana used this function to send the shelter designed by Leonardo da Vinci to Kirisu Mafuyu and the others.

Fujimaru Tachibana [Come to think of it, Dr. hasn't been online much lately, even though she used to be in the group chat every day.]

Ji Zi: [I know about this. She seems to be preparing for a decisive battle. She definitely doesn't have time during this period.]

·Dividing line·

In fact, Jizi was wrong. The final battle on the doctor's side was not that troublesome, because a group of engineering masters in Rhodes Island had developed a new type of weapon using the fragments of the horn of the Black Dragon left by Koya. The horn of the Black Dragon had the effect of controlling and suppressing Originium. Adding the powder to staffs and weapons could increase the operator's Originium skills several times. If Koya's horn was added to things like bombs, the powder that spread out could reduce the activity of Originium in a small area to zero.

The only trouble is that Originium bombs cannot be used, because the activity of the Originium bombs themselves will drop to zero and cannot be detonated. The emergence of this suppression bomb is thanks to the doctor, because she provided the method of making gunpowder. The energy that gunpowder can explode is naturally not comparable to Originium, but it is cheap. The money to make an Originium bomb can make a hundred gunpowder bombs. At present, W has completely abandoned Originium and turned to the Gunpowder Cult.

Currently, in the "divine domain" created by this grenade, only operators holding special staffs can release Originium skills. Even Kal'tsit cannot summon Mon3tr under this grenade. This special grenade is code-named the Brilliant Dragon Type I Diffusion Grenade, and the special staff is code-named the Brilliant Dragon Type I Originium Staff. It's simple and clear.

This long-awaited battle can be described as a complete crushing victory. The doctor is also a loyal practitioner of tactical insertion when necessary and fire coverage when sufficient. She had the operators throw more than a thousand Huanglong grenades into the core tower without any regrets, and then walked in with the Rhodes Island operators and Patriots in a swagger.

The obstacles along the way were not severe. After all, the Third Army was recalled to the country, and the strongest Snow Monster Squad and Guerrilla Squad of the Reunion Movement had been recruited by Rhodes Island. Now, only the snake scales of the old black snake and some scattered members of the Reunion Movement were guarding Tallulah. After losing their Originium skills, the Rhodes Island operators were simply a dimensionality reduction attack on them.

Talulah is indeed very strong. Her bloodline gives her a fire that is enough to melt everything in the world, but without Draco's Originium skills, her close combat ability is even worse than that of Rosalina from the Rhodes Island reserve team.

The operators easily captured the fire dragon that had lost its breath ability. The doctor asked Yelena and Patriot to escort Tallulah back to the Rhodes Island main ship, while the doctor took out the walkie-talkie to contact Amiya.

"Amiya, you may begin your speech. Chernobog is ours."

Soon, Amiya's gentle voice was heard on Chernobog's city radio. She explained the situation in detail and elaborated on the subsequent arrangements. Those who wanted to return to Ursus would be sent to the nearest Ursus city, and those who were willing to stay in Rhodes Island would immediately arrange work to get Chernobog back up and running.

Oh, and by the way, Chernobog is changing its name to New Babylon. This was once the capital of the Sarkaz Kingdom. By naming Chernobog this way, Rhodes Island's ambitions are fully revealed. Fulfilling Theresa's promise, Rhodes Island has finally taken the first step.

"PhD."

"Vina, are you ready? Next, our Rhodes Island ship will sail to Victoria and directly declare war on the three dukes. If you haven't decided whether to inherit the throne, then we will push Tallulah out."

"I...I want to go check it out first. To see if the three dukes are really as the intelligence says."

"It will take about three months for Rhodes Island to reach Victoria. I'll have Klucie transfer the Bad Guy here later. You and your friends can use the Rhodes Island transport station to reach Victoria. In two months, the operators stationed on Rhodes Island will be evacuated. You can leave with them and return as the Twin Kings of Victoria, or you can stay there."

After Kal'tsit revealed all the monsters of the Sea Si, the evil demons and the Flame Nation to the Doctor, the Doctor realized that she didn't have much time left.

Chapter 99: Showdown!

After dinner, Koya and the girls gathered in the hall. Hayata Nao was also there. Only Koya and Moe were in the settlement at the foot of the mountain. There was no way around it; it was better not to let these two children know some things.

Iino Miko has a very strong sense of justice, or to put it bluntly, she is a bit of a saint, but she is a true saint. She knows that Daisy, Koya and others have great power, but she will not ask them to leave the shelter to save people. But if she herself has power, she would like to be outside searching for survivors 24 hours a day. She is such a good person. At least until she understands how to take care of herself and protect herself, Daisy and the others will not let Iino Miko gain power.

As for the little girl Mengye, she is a middle school girl. If she knew that she could gain superpowers here at Koya, she might even climb into Koya's bed that night, so it is better to keep it a secret from her for the time being.

It took about ten minutes for Hinagiku and the others to clearly tell Fujiwara Toyomi, Hayata Nao and the others about Koya's identity and system. These mature older sisters were a little bit unbelievable after hearing this, but the facts in front of them forced them to believe it.

"There really are things like other worlds and systems. This world is truly incredible."

"Yeah, if it weren't for Qianhua's farce yesterday, how long would you have kept it a secret from us?"

"Last night's farce?"

"Ahem, don't worry about this, Kaguya. Let's discuss who should use these newly acquired powers."

As for the other, still unaware of the current situation, Shijo Shinki was relatively unconcerned. She felt that as long as she could stay by Koya's side, she would be fine. If possible, she would even like to go to the city called Orario with Koya. Shijo Shinki sighed helplessly. Why did her love life always go so wrong? Her husband was leaving tomorrow. This long-distance relationship with no way to contact her was too torturous!

Next came the task of distributing the rewards. Hinagiku and Chika had successfully reached the second stage by completing their tasks, and Kaguya had also received the first stage reward by sleeping in the same bed this afternoon. Currently, only Hayasaka Ai still hadn't reached the first stage, which was very strange. Logically, Koya had a good impression of Xiao Ai, which Koya herself admitted, but she just couldn't reach the first stage...

But let’s discuss the reason later. First, let me introduce the new abilities and rewards that Daisy and the others have acquired.

Daisy's second-stage ability is Light Bound, which simply enhances the abilities of objects. For example, the knife she wields, crafted using modern industrial technology, can be cut through steel plates with the ease of a box cutter. This ability isn't limited to swords; it also enhances the defensive capabilities of clothing, making it a perfect skill for Daisy. The second bonus is an active skill, Healing. Essentially, it's a sanity-boosting skill that can heal illnesses and the body, but it seems ineffective against the zombie virus.

Qianhua's second-stage reward is to bewitch people, which makes them unconsciously believe everything she does. For example, if Qianhua tells someone she's bewitched that they don't actually need to eat anything and can survive by eating only mud, the bewitched person will firmly believe that they can survive even if they only eat mud. The second reward is a bit more interesting: a tree. The fruit of this tree is like the Senzu Beans from Dragon Ball, only they are super weakened. One fruit can heal a broken limb and allow a person to go a day without eating.

Kaguya's first-stage reward is the Dragon Head Jade, a skill that allows her to create one or more shields for herself or others. Creating multiple shields weakens their defenses, so a single shield can even protect against missiles, while multiple shields can only block sniper rounds. Kaguya can only use the Dragon Head Jade three times per day. The second reward is a factory that can produce guns and ammunition out of thin air, capable of producing ten pistols and one thousand pistol ammunition per day.

"hiss--"

Fujiwara Toyomi and Hayata Nao gasped. These three rewards were all great! Especially since the advent of guns had given ordinary people the ability to kill zombies. Once the settlement at the foot of the mountain developed, ordinary people's supply search teams would surely be established, and having guns would be very convenient then.

"Koya, do you think there's any chance we can get this system?"

"I don't know about that either. My main system has been dormant. It would be better to ask Mafuyu about this matter."

"Let me ask."

"System, can you split out a few more subsystems for Fengshi and the others?"

[I definitely can't do that. The quota I was given was a compensation mechanism, a quota given to me by the main system. I don't have the authority to issue quotas myself, but if you just want to watch Keya's live stream and chat group quotas, you can purchase them directly. Watching privileges cost 100 crystal cores, and chat group quotas cost 200 crystal cores.]

"After purchasing the viewing rights, will you be able to see Koya's situation directly in your mind like we did?"

[No, it will attach to electronic devices. If you want to watch the live broadcast in your mind, it will cost another 100. The chat group is the same as yours.]

After Kirisu Mafuyu explained the situation to everyone, after everyone's discussion, it was decided that everyone must buy a seat in the chat group, and that everyone could buy a viewing right and use the big screen in the theater on the second floor directly. Anyone who wanted to watch the movie could do so.

At the same time, Koya also told everyone about the reward he got after killing the Corpse King. When the four Zhenfei heard that Koya could return to this world at any time, they jumped directly onto Koya and happily bit him. It seemed that God still had pity on the loser, the little Zhenfei.

After saying something to Kirisu Mafuyu and the others, Koya prepared to go to rest. He would be returning to Orario to face the monster Goliath tomorrow, so he had to have a good rest today. As for who Mafuyu and the others would distribute the reward to, Koya didn't care. They could discuss it among themselves.

"It seems we don't have to buy invitation tickets anymore."

"Yeah, that's great news."

"Speaking of which, how many crystal cores do we have left? Koya will have to face that Goliath when he returns to Orario. Can we buy him a useful skill?"

"I've been counting the crystal cores. There are currently 421 crystal cores in the mobile warehouse."

"Koya is leaving tomorrow at noon... Sister Manfuyu, let's go to the city. This little bit of crystal core definitely won't buy a good skill."

"it is good."

Among all the system owners, the girls in the doomsday world are probably the most active in buying goods for Keya. After all, they are now a family.

Chapter 100: Return and Fight

That night, everyone slept soundly, save for Koya. In his dream, Koya continued to be held by Goliath's hammer, showing no improvement except for his ability to withstand blows. Hercules felt a little helpless. Forcing Koya to defeat Goliath was like asking an ordinary person to complete his twelve trials; courting death was not enough to describe such a foolish act. Hercules could only remind Koya how to fight back and minimize his injuries while he was being beaten, and then teach him some bow techniques after the beating ended.
