Chapter 813 The Informant and the Traitor
[Vinnie, your happiness level is decreasing.]
The Crystal Palace panel is displaying a bad message.
"Winnie, what happened to you outside?"
Broly asked Little Dragon Girl.
"no."
Winnie instinctively denied it.
"Someone threw rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs at us."
A heretic named Lett, who resembled a goblin, immediately filed a complaint.
"What, you damned monsters, do you really think you can openly kill us surface dwellers in the city?"
The goblin, raising its voice, repeated the harsh and sarcastic words of the person who had led the throwing of rotten vegetable leaves and eggs.
"You didn't lay a hand on anyone?"
"no."
Lett shook his head immediately.
"We're afraid of causing you trouble."
Rey added from the side.
"You should beat those people up."
"?"
"Didn't we say we shouldn't hurt people?"
"The premise of not hurting others is that others do not hurt you either."
If others are going to hurt you, then you shouldn't hold back either.
"But won't this cause you trouble and annoyance, Mr. Broly?"
"My biggest problem and concern right now is that Winnie is feeling down because of this."
Broly reached out and scooped the little one into his arms, stroking her soft hair on her head.
"Broly, I'm fine. I can actually understand how those people who threw vegetable leaves feel. Their homes were destroyed by monsters, and some of them were even injured by them."
Little Dragon Girl leaned against the boy's chest, and her mood improved considerably.
"It's all the fault of those despicable poachers."
Reed and the other heretics were more reasonable and did not resent the increasingly hostile attitude of the ordinary people of Orario towards them. They knew it was the fault of the poachers who were controlling monsters and causing trouble everywhere.
If it weren't for those troublemakers, these heretics would probably be living the same life as ordinary people on the surface.
Reed still remembers the time when he went out shopping with money and his son, the shopkeeper who had died as an adventurer in the dungeon, gave him extra food.
Back then, people treated them, the heretics, very well, but now when they go out again, the same shop owners just apologize and choose not to do business with them.
"Um----"
Broly hesitated for a moment. He actually understood why things had turned out this way. He could gain the residents of Orario's approval and sympathy for the heretic by staging a monster-saving drama. Similarly, others could make the residents of Orario reject the heretic by releasing monsters to cause trouble.
When you try to take down those troublemakers, they're like mice, either hiding in the sewers playing guerrilla warfare or pretending to be ordinary people mingling among the normal crowd in Orario. Without the ability to distinguish friend from foe, you have no idea where they are.
If only my current aura perception could extend several kilometers and cover the entire block, that would be wonderful.
Broly began to miss his original aura, which could completely encompass the entire city, or even the entire planet.
That kind of perception is like having a life detector activated, able to completely ignore the concealment of complex terrain, leaving those rats hiding in the dark nowhere to hide.
Unfortunately, his development ability [Qi Gong S] cannot be improved further, so his current Qi perception range is no more than 50 meters, and it becomes blurry once it exceeds that range.
Broly looked at the loli goddess, and just as he was about to say that he would end the super-weighted training, restore his original aura perception range, and go catch those rats hiding in the shadows and causing trouble, the fox-girl quickly walked in.
"Mr. Broly, I found this letter addressed to you in the mailbox outside."
"My letter?"
Broly was somewhat puzzled, as all his acquaintances in this world were in Orario.
If you need to talk to him, just say it in person; there's no need to write him a letter.
However, he still accepted the letter that Haruhime handed him.
"Broly, who wrote this to you? It's not a love letter, is it?"
Hestia asked with some curiosity.
"It's not a love letter."
Broly denied this claim.
"It was an unsigned letter of denunciation, which exposed the group of people who were secretly controlling monsters to cause trouble everywhere in Orario, and their next move."
"?"
Broly placed the letter on the table, and the women he had just met and the women in the outer seats curiously gathered around to look at its contents.
The document reveals the identities of the troublemakers and their planned conspiracy: to lure the three clans who are tracking and surrounding them into the Daedalus City's underground sewers, then detonate the Firestones buried throughout the Daedalus City's surface, intending to use the collapse of most of the Daedalus City's buildings to completely bury those trapped in the sewers.
With most of the city block collapsing and countless buildings crashing down, even advanced adventurers would be in serious trouble in such a situation, let alone ordinary people caught in the blast. Even on the surface, once swept in, their chances of survival are slim.
"Damn it, those dark faction bastards want to bury most of Daedalus Street. We have to stop them."
Liu stood up abruptly; when it came to the dark faction, this righteous elf could no longer remain calm.
"I'm going to find my sister and ask her to evacuate the residents of Daedalus Street."
Adi also stood up.
"Wait, we don't know if the contents of the letter are true or false. Maybe the person who sent this letter wants to throw us into disarray and create chaos so they can take advantage of the situation."
"What if it's true?"
"If it's true, we can't make a big fuss about evacuating the residents of Daedalus Street. That would easily alert them, and it would be terrible if they detonated the Firestone prematurely."
"So what should we do?"
Adi looked at Daphne, wanting her, the former strategist of the Apollo Familia, to offer some advice.
"Investigate secretly and verify the authenticity of the letter's contents. If it is genuine, then we need to remove the buried fire stones first."
A letter of denunciation, of dubious authenticity, was sent to the Hearth House. Broly quickly contacted the Ganesha and Loki Familias. The Ganesha Familias then sent people disguised as normal residents of Daedalus to conduct a covert investigation.
They quickly confirmed the authenticity of the whistleblower's letter and discovered the firestones that had been buried in various hidden locations marked throughout Daedalus Street.
"If they were all detonated, Daedalus Street would collapse, and countless people would die from the sinkhole. What do those damned dark factions value life for?!"
Shakti slammed his fist on the table in front of him. Even with resurrection magic, it was impossible to revive so many dead people.
(This is what she believed, unaware of the existence of the Dragon Talisman.)
"Fortunately, someone tipped off Broly about that gang's plot beforehand?"
"It was Finn the Brave who said."
"I wonder who it is?"
Lefia was curious about the sender's identity.
"Since it's a letter addressed to Broly, the sender must know Broly."
"Nine Demon Princess said."
"No, if you know Mr. Broly, why hide your identity?"
"Because the other party knows about that group of people, and knows information that even we who are hunting them don't know, it means that the other party is very likely a member of that group."
"But if the whistleblower is a member of a dark faction, why would they betray their own side by accusing them of a conspiracy?"
"Perhaps she still has a conscience, or maybe she's friends with Broly?"
Rafia suggested a possibility.
"Of course, it could also be a trap."
Ryusei suggested another possibility.
"Whether it's a trap or not, let's dismantle the firestones on the surface first, and then deal with the remnants of the dark faction underground."
As evening approached, wisps of smoke began to rise from the labyrinthine Daedalus Street, filling the air with the aroma of food.
Rives stood up in the sewers. The time to carry out the plan to release the monsters was approaching, and she was in charge of the southern sewer area.
[Release the monsters to wreak havoc outside. Afterward, someone will definitely come to investigate. What you need to do is lure them in, and then, while hiding in the artificial maze, detonate the firestones outside to completely bury the enemies who came to investigate.]
Rives ran through the plan in her mind, and just as she was about to order the members of the Ikeros Familia following behind her to wake up the monster that had been drugged and locked in a cage and was intended to be used as a tool for causing trouble, footsteps came from the sewer bend.
The sewer system on Daedalus Street is complex, but the footsteps seemed to know where they were hiding, and the sound was coming straight towards them.
[Have their tracks been discovered? Has anyone tracked them down?]
Ruiwei glanced back at the group of people behind her, but couldn't say anything. With so many people moving around, it was inevitable that some clues would be exposed.
Fortunately, judging from the footsteps, there was only one person. And since the pursuer could still leave footprints, it can only mean that the guy chasing us is probably a novice. At this point, we should just kill him.
A light appeared at the corner, and Broly, carrying the magic stone lamp, turned the corner from the sewer. When he saw a group of people hiding in the sewer passage, holding their breath, and the still unconscious monsters locked in cages behind them, he gave them a big smile.
"Looks like it wasn't a trap. Found you, rats."
The Saiyan boy's smile was sunny and bright because he had finally found the guy who had always been going against him and making Winnie unhappy.
As for Revis, after seeing the Saiyan boy's appearance clearly, she felt as if she had fallen into an icy lake.
Undeterred, she turned and ran deeper into the sewers, trying to use the darkness to conceal her tracks and buy time for the group of people she left behind to escape.
But before she had run very far, Rives felt a sharp pain in her back. When she looked down, she saw a hand piercing through her chest.
The magic stone lamp held by Broly swayed, its flickering orange light casting his and the female monster's shadows onto the walls of the sewer passageway.
The shadow of the female monster on the wall had already left the ground, and her body began to turn to ash and dissipate as the magic stone inside her was taken out.
Lv.6, Revis, who immediately chose to run away after recognizing Broly upon meeting him, was easily killed by the Saiyan without even a single encounter.
A commotion arose behind him, but it quickly turned into painful howls. Broly broke the limbs of a group of rats, but did not touch the monster that was locked in a cage and was still unconscious.
Just as he finished his business, the other three sewer entrances were blocked by other people.
"Valetta, you escaped last time, but this time, we won't give you another chance to run away."
Finn, Riveria, and Grace surrounded them; they had a deep grudge from the Great Rebellion seven years ago, and he was the commander of the Dark Faction.
"Ha, the three of you against me could definitely take me down, but it would take a lot of time. Meanwhile, other areas are preparing to release large numbers of monsters to wreak havoc outside. Is it really worth it to waste time with me like this?"
"You don't need to worry about that; there are other people handling things elsewhere."
. . . .
"Virt, seven years ago, you were released because of your chief god Erebus, but I never expected you to return to Orario and continue your evil deeds."
"Ah, angel with wings of justice, don't mention to me that bastard god who deceived me. This time, I've come only to unleash my own darkness."
Vito, at level 6, was once the leader of the Familia of the Dark God Erebus. Due to his innate defect that he could only feel alive when he saw the blood of the murdered, he stood on the opposite side of the justice represented by Ryu seven years ago, and he still does now.
However, she engaged in a fierce battle with Ryu, who was at Lv.4 but whose ability value had already exceeded its limit, and Ais, who was at Lv.5 and whose ability value had also exceeded its limit.
Seven years have passed. Although this person's level has not improved, his combat skills have become much more refined. Unfortunately, he was facing Orario's two winds and was quickly cut down, his tendons in his feet and hands were severed, and he fell down.
"Ah, another classic tale of good triumphing over evil. The ending for a villain like me is really nothing new. But, surprisingly, my blood is red too. Hahaha, give me a quick death."
Witt, lying on the ground, laughed heartily, seemingly unconcerned about his impending death.
"Your life is still useful. Besides, Lord Erebus is actually quite concerned about you."
. . .
Liu put away his wooden sword.
o
"Dix, the leader of the Ganesha Familia, and the Loki Familia's Great Severer and Wolf are attacking. Our people can't hold them off."
"There's no other way, Johnson, detonate the Firestone ahead of time."
"But if we do that, we'll get dragged into it too."
"Detonate it and retreat. We might still be able to escape using the man-made maze. If we don't detonate it, then we'll be wiped out by these people on our own."
Having died and been resurrected recently, the bald, muscular man gritted his teeth and pressed the detonator on the Flame Stone.
However, no explosion occurred, and the expected collapse did not happen. The sounds of fighting continued in the sewers, as if nothing had happened.
"What are you still hesitating about?"
He raised his spear to block the barbarian's incoming slashing attack and roared loudly in the direction of the bald, burly man.
"Dix, I pressed it, but nothing's happening!"
"Surrender! We've dismantled all the fire stone traps you guys set up."
Shakti's shouts eroded the group's will to resist.
"Damn it, there's a mole among us!"
With plans unfolding simultaneously from four directions, the Ikelos Familia's joint operation with the remnants of the Dark Faction hadn't even begun when Broly and his group, having received advance intelligence, blocked the entrance and thwarted all their schemes.
Hundreds of people were captured, and hundreds of monsters locked in cages were awakened from their coma. After identifying the heretics, the ordinary monsters were killed on the spot.
A disaster was averted, but things obviously won't end just because the conspiracy was foiled. After all, what was thought to be just an event to release monsters and create panic turned into a situation that almost blew up most of Daedalus Street. If the situation isn't investigated thoroughly, who can sleep soundly?
That night, Shakti, the leader of the Ganesha clan, was destined to stay up all night interrogating the remnants of the Dark Faction who had been captured.
o
Meanwhile, in a luxurious vineyard, the White Witch found her own god and knelt directly before him.
"Lord Dionysus, I am very sorry, I have failed your trust."
Having already learned of the plan's failure, the male god looked at his child with some confusion.
"Philwin, why did you do this?"
"I didn't have the opportunity before, but now I want to be a good person."
"But what if your true colors are discovered—"
"Then I will apologize and accept the punishment I deserve."
"Of course, if Lord Dionysus wishes to punish me now, I will accept it."
Philweis lowered her head. After struggling internally for days, and having learned about Dix's Firestone plan through Ye En, the White Witch made her choice.
She was the traitor who sent the letter; she ruined her own god's meticulously planned scheme, and now she's here to receive her punishment.
"Punishment? Ha, why should I punish you?"
"?"
"Everything I've done is for you, my child, and since you're prepared to accept the consequences of being found to have abnormalities, I will respect your choice."
However, the punishment she deserved did not come; Dionysus forgave her for her betrayal.
"Lord Dionysus—"
Phil Weiss was touched. The blond man smiled and gently patted her head, like an adult who would forgive a child who had made a mistake.
[The children of the lower realm are indeed interesting. I never expected that Philweis's struggles would ultimately transform into a resolute determination. Is it because she has once again received gentle treatment from others that she can no longer accept the evil deeds she might continue to commit?]
Well, although our plan to cause the three major clans to suffer heavy losses was thwarted by our own children, the existence of the artificial labyrinth has been successfully spread. Even though the six celestial spirit avatars stored inside are not yet fully developed, we can still use the heretic's situation to buy some more time.
