Wow!
Faced with Ares's threats, Roy's only response was to use his fists and a stick, beating him mercilessly.
No matter how Ares threatened, begged for mercy, or screamed, Roy remained unmoved. He dislocated Ares's hands and legs, slapped him a few times until his teeth fell out, his speech became slurred, and his head turned into a pig's head.
The dull thud of Roy's fist hitting the ground sent a chill down one's spine; that was a god!
If Ares were to unleash his divine power, he could obliterate Roy in an instant.
Ares seized a brief opening and screamed hysterically, "Don't you care at all about the villagers? They're the ones who raised you!"
The kingdom's soldiers, and even Tione and Tiona, felt that Roy was a bit too cold-hearted, but Roy delivered a perfect answer.
"Idiot, look over there again."
Roy grabbed Ares's head and forcefully moved it so that Ares would look towards the village entrance.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, three or four golden giant wolves appeared, strolling out, their bodies crackling with lightning, majestic and imposing, each carrying a dozen soldiers in its mouth—Ares's last remaining strength.
Roy wasn't heartless; he just wanted it all!
Even after the first round of magic was unleashed, Roy's lightning magic changed form, and the summoned creatures he controlled infiltrated the village to investigate the situation and protect the villagers.
Snapped!Snapped!
Roy patted Ares's cheek, his calm and indifferent gaze sending chills down Ares's spine.
This greed drove even the gods to despair, but Roy had the power to do just that.
"Damn it!" Ares's face turned pale. The other party had also made two preparations. No wonder the gods of Orario couldn't subdue this boy. He was too troublesome.
Ares's tragic state triggered a chain reaction, and the two LV.3 knight commanders and guards were quickly defeated.
A group of people were left on the roadside, piled up like a mountain.
"As expected of the captain, he's amazing!" Tione's eyes shone with admiration. Not only did he see through Ares's scheme, but he also made preparations in advance.
The more Tione interacted with that amazing boy, the more he felt that he was extraordinary. A mere Ares was not even enough to fill the captain's teeth.
After the battle, the villagers, young and old, came out, and Roy greeted them all warmly. In this life, he could be said to have grown up on the charity of many families.
The villagers' faces radiated pride and joy as they tightly grasped Roy's hand, tears streaming down their faces. Roy had finally given them a much-needed chance to vent their anger.
At this moment, the villagers made way for them.
An old man in his sixties or seventies came out, hunched over and needing a cane to walk. He was none other than Simon, the old village chief and the kind old man who had raised Roy.
Roy waved, "Hey, old man!"
The old man gave Roy a wary look, tapped his cane on the ground, and said, "Hmph, I thought you died in the dungeon. You haven't sent a single letter all year."
"You'd be disappointed if I really died," Roy chuckled. He knew the old man's nature all too well—a sharp tongue but a soft heart.
Old village chief Simon remained silent. If his children and grandchildren were even a tenth as intelligent as Roy, he could close his eyes in peace.
thump!
Roy dragged Ares, who was lying like a dead dog, over and threw him in front of his old man.
The villagers were horrified to see Ares in such a terrible state; it was a god!
People living in this world have an innate reverence for gods. Even if the god who seals divine power is just an ordinary person, they dare not overstep or offend him in the slightest, as if they would be punished by heaven.
Many villagers nervously closed their eyes, muttering things like, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry," and begging for forgiveness.
Roy was clearly not buying it. "Old man, you make the decision. Should we get rid of him?"
Hearing Roy's disrespectful words, the others broke out in a cold sweat and looked terrified.
Old village chief Simon gave Roy a deep look. "If I could handle him, you wouldn't be asking me."
He was one of the people who knew Roy best.
The old yellow dog from the next village bit Roy, and Roy wanted to roast the dog that very night.
If Roy could have killed Ares, he would have done it long ago instead of asking for his opinion.
"As expected of the old man." Roy chuckled, giving a thumbs up. The old fox is still the wisest.
Taking down Ares is easy; Roy just throws him into a goblin cave deep in the mountains, and the monsters will take care of him without getting his hands dirty.
The question is what happens after Ares is killed.
The Kingdom of Lachia, as a state-type clan, has nearly 100,000 warriors who have received "blessings".
Ares couldn't manage so many followers, so the Kingdom of Lachia frequently waged wars. After winning a war, they would absorb the followers and gods of the defeated and make them subordinate gods of Ares.
High-ranking combat personnel are firmly under Ares' control, while most LV.1 soldiers have their stats updated by subordinate gods.
Once Ares dies, the high-ranking servants will lose their favor, their power will collapse, and the situation in the Kingdom of Lachia will undergo a dramatic change.
The kingdom and several surrounding countries were plunged into chaos, and the war would not end for decades.
Unlike when dealing with Freya's Familia, this time his identity is clear, and people aren't stupid. If Ares dies, they will definitely suspect him.
Bearing the stigma of god-killing.
It would be detrimental to both the village and Roy, and wouldn't even be enough to vent their anger. The gods of this world are eternal.
They are reborn every tens of thousands of years, which is no different from taking a nap for them. It is said that some gods even choose to commit suicide when they are extremely bored in the heavenly realm.
Therefore, killing Ares is pointless.
But they couldn't just release him like that; Roy intended to plan a future for the village.
After much effort, the group threw Ares and a large group of half-dead guards into the pigsty.
Fortunately, Ares's threat was just a bluff; the other side had never given an order to massacre them. After all, they were his own people, and even for the sake of his rule, Ares wouldn't dare to slaughter the villagers.
Otherwise, Roy would really kill the other person.
Roy visited every household, delivering Orario's specialties, making the village as lively as if it were New Year's Day.
With the god Ares dead, the kingdom's army might surround the village tomorrow, but the people showed little fear, for they were all numb.
The world is far from as wonderful as we imagine.
War, monsters, disease, thieves—
Even the black dragons that inhabit the far north occasionally awaken and are prone to destroying a city.
People often hold celebrations as a way of enjoying life to the fullest and living for the moment.
While it was sweltering outside, it was inside the pigsty.
A knight commander lowered his voice, "Lord Ares, rest assured, we have already sent word to Prince Marius that His Highness will lead a large army here and raze this village to the ground!"
"Good, very good!" Ares was extremely excited.
