Chapter 458 Rejecting Unlicensed Partners
"Princess Ariel?"
Broly looked confused; he had no recollection of the name.
"It's the little princess we saw at the Asura Palace half a month ago."
At that time, assassins were attempting to kill her, and you happened to be there and intervened, eliminating the assassins.
The little god reminded me from the side.
"Oh, it's her."
Broly then remembered that there was indeed such a thing.
"After you saved that little guy, he seemed to develop a liking for you, and that's why the person in front of you is here."
"But I remember that I didn't reveal my identity at the time."
When Broly, guided by the gods, went to Asura's palace to find a target for his conquest, he happened to encounter Princess Ariel, who had been assassinated.
Because the other person was a child, Broly helped him out of the blue, but after killing the assassin, he simply left.
The only thing they said was a comforting remark like, "You're safe now," even though, logically, no one should have come knocking on their door.
"You did not reveal your identity, but the swordsmanship you used to kill the assassin gave you away. The superb Water God Style swordsmanship, and the fact that you were a child-like user, combined with these two conditions, makes it clear that you are the newly accepted disciple of the Water Goddess Leda. In particular, the Water Goddess also gave you the title of Water Emperor and helped you hold several tea parties among the upper nobility of the Asura Kingdom."
"All right."
Broly shrugged, unconcerned about his identity being exposed.
"Sorry, I have no interest in being anyone's guardian knight."
He bluntly rejected the man in front of him.
"You're just not interested in being the guardian knight of someone who isn't a target of your Crystal Palace's conquest."
The little god was making sarcastic remarks from the side.
"Isn't this just common sense?"
Broly countered, "Without Crystal Palace's accreditation and without any connection, isn't that exactly how it is?"
"Lord Broly, please consider this. King Asura is willing to offer a generous reward."
The man in front of him quickly said.
This was the first request Princess Ariel had made. King Asura, as the princess's father, was willing to do his best to fulfill his daughter's wish. At the same time, for his daughter's safety, he entrusted him with the task of recruiting the Water Emperor Broly.
"Ariel Anemoi Asra, the second princess of the Kingdom of Asra. Since women in the Kingdom of Asra also have the right to inherit the throne, the little princess has been the target of a series of assassination attempts since her birth."
Most of them came from the forces of other princes who might inherit the throne in the future, and unfortunately, her own mother passed away not long after giving birth to her, which meant that this little princess was destined to experience a gray childhood filled with fear and anxiety in the future.
But now, she has finally met the first boy in her life who gives her a sense of security, and she wants him to be her guardian knight. So she went to ask her father for help, but she is about to face being cruelly rejected by the boy.
Oh, Broly, can you really bear to see such a lovely child sad and heartbroken?
The little god raised his voice and asked in an aria-like tone.
"I only met her once and even helped her avoid an assassination attempt. Why should I be held responsible for her sadness and distress?"
Broly asked, somewhat puzzled, "This doesn't make sense."
"I didn't say you need to take responsibility, I just wanted to secretly tell you that Princess Ariel will grow up to be a super beauty, and there's a certain probability that she will become the king of the Asura Kingdom."
"If Broly agrees to become their guardian knight, he might just become the man behind the new King Asura in the future."
The little god spoke in a somewhat seductive voice, seemingly wanting to guide Broly to become the man behind the future King Asura.
"Who cares?"
Broly said these words; with just one sentence, he clearly expressed his attitude.
"How could you so disrespect King Asura?!"
The man's face flushed red, and his hand rested on the hilt of his sword at his waist, as if he were about to draw it.
But Broly's next words made him stop drawing his sword.
"If you draw your sword, I will not hesitate to cut off your head."
The man recalled the night Princess Ariel was assassinated, the headless corpses of the assassins whose heads had been chopped off by the Water God Style swordsmanship in the courtyard, and suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.
He didn't ask the other party if they dared to, after all, the Water Emperor Broly had silently infiltrated the Asura Palace without permission.
Given that the other party is a disciple of the water goddess Leda Lia, even if he were killed now, King Asura probably wouldn't turn against the water goddess because of it.
Broly bypassed the man and, after leaving the city gate, followed the flow of people toward the next village near the capital.
In the world of nothingness, the god and mortal sighed: "So, it seems that anyone not recognized by the Crystal Palace is simply unsuitable?"
Guided by Ars, the god and man continued their schemes.
In His vision of the future, if He can guide Broly to become Princess Ariel's guardian knight, then Broly will be in opposition to the Dragon God in the future.
Although the future that the gods and humans could see was somewhat blurry due to the involvement of the dragon god, they were certain that it was a future that would be favorable to them.
Unfortunately, this timeline underestimated the influence of the Crystal Palace on Broly's chosen targets.
Of course, if He also had memories of spending time with Broly in the previous playthroughs, He probably wouldn't have made such a pointless attempt.
Beauty, power, wealth, and status—things that countless people in the world pursue and go crazy for—are no more important to Broly than finding a good opponent.
"Damn it, why isn't Ariel Anemoi Asura a target of the Crystal Palace's affections? How exactly does the Crystal Palace judge who is a target?"
The god complained for a moment, then sighed and said, "Oh well, this time the person I chose wasn't good. Maybe the next one will be."
Broly, if your next target, acknowledged by the Crystal Palace, doesn't hold you back but instead puts you in a fight against the Dragon God Alsterd, then I'll actively guide you!
None of the targets that Crystal Palace acknowledged as potential allies, as seen through the futuristic vision, were useful; they were all options that would prevent Broly from becoming enemies with the Dragon God Orstide.
As for why a god could know this, it is because He saw it by observing His own future.
Once Broly encounters his previous targets, his future will become bleak.
If the Dragon God doesn't intervene, he might face a future where he is eliminated by the Dragon God.
It seems that Alsterd, by constantly rewinding time, obtained the notes left behind by the Demon Dragon King Laplace and found his sealed weakness.
Such a future is one that neither gods nor humans would ever allow to come to pass.
Of course, preventing this future from happening doesn't entirely require Broly.
But, who can blame us when Broly is the best?!
With just a little help from me, the other party completely trusted me, had no doubts about my abilities, and was also very capable.
Is there anyone in this world more useful than the other person?
No, that's the answer in the hearts of both gods and men.
Therefore, He will become Broly's best friend and actively help him on his journey to find his destined partner.
Of course, this is on the premise that we must exclude goals that will not enhance their friendship but will instead undermine their mutual help.
"Alice Boreas Grerat, Hilfi Yate, let me think carefully about how to make you two leave this world prematurely."
Hmm, I've got it for Hilfi Yete. I'll wait until she's a bit older and is being bullied by the village's little rascals who think she's a demon. Then I'll trick those little rascals into taking some sharp stones and smashing her to death.
As for Alice of the Boreas family, that's a bit troublesome. But the Boreas family likes to buy beastmen slaves, so we can guide a beastman slave who hates humans to be bought by them, then give that slave a chance to escape. During the escape, we can kidnap the Boreas family's daughter and kill her.
In the ninth cycle, the god begins to orchestrate a script that leads to unexpected deaths, but before His own destiny can be fully realized...
In early January of Ankylosaurus Year 409, Broly sensed the presence of Orstid, who was lying in wait, just as he had finished exploring the towns within the Kingdom of Asura and was preparing to cross the jaws of the Crimson Dragon.
"It seems that Orstide has set up something strange in the mountains."
The little god would lose contact with Alsterd whenever it got close. After Broly went to observe Alsterd's behavior, he returned to the area outside the Red Dragon's jaw. Once he reconnected with the god, he told it what he had seen.
"That's an ancient war magic circle. It was prepared to deal with you after realizing your strength."
However, as long as you don't fall into his trap, Alster's methods won't work.
The little god then asked Broly, "What are you planning to do?"
"I plan to go back to Teacher Leda, and after updating my Water God Style technique, I'll come and fight Orstide."
"Hey, you know they've set a trap here, are you still going to walk right into it?"
The little god asked, somewhat puzzled.
"I just want to verify the Water God Style swordsmanship that I learned in this playthrough."
Water God Style is a swordsmanship based on the concept of defense. It can defend against not only physical attacks, but also magical attacks of energy. Water God Style can also use its sword energy to cut through them, thus achieving a defensive effect.
However, after mastering the Water God Style to a god-like level, most people's attacks could not allow Broly to fully utilize the defensive principles of the Water God Style in his swordsmanship.
However, Broly believed that the Dragon God Orstide was capable, and that his combat skills were trustworthy.
"Next playthrough, Broly, remember to come find me."
In the main dojo of the Yars Water God School in the capital of Asura, after teaching Broly all the Water God School techniques and insights she had gained during this period, the water goddess Leta Lia said the following to the boy.
"Yes, Ms. Leda."
Broly nodded in agreement.
"Broly, don't forget to get to know me again next time you play through the game."
Upon reaching the outer edge of the red dragon's lower jaw once more, the little god feigned reluctance and spoke to the boy.
"Um."
Broly agreed and activated the Water God Style's defensive aura field, entering the Crimson Dragon's Lower Jaw Mountain Range.
. . . .
Everything was scrapped and started over. After truly understanding Broly's true situation in the previous cycle, the Dragon God Orstide no longer had any expectations of easily defeating Broly, this apostle of gods and men.
This time, he didn't actively seek out Broly. Instead, he set up numerous magic array traps along the route Broly might take, specifically on the lower jaw of the red dragon. Alsterd didn't know when Broly would arrive, or even if Broly would come here at all.
But he had already decided to wait here for ten years. If Broly hadn't come looking for him in ten years, he would find a way to lure him over.
However, Broly, who came to the Red Dragon's jaw wanting to taste the Red Dragon and then discovered its trail, which sparked his desire to verify the Water God Style swordsmanship, meant that Orstide didn't have to wait long.
On this day, the entire area below the Crimson Dragon's jaw trembled, and the magic array traps that Orstide had spent over a decade setting up there were firing almost non-stop.
However, faced with Broly's high-value version and the seemingly endless aura of the Water God, the war magic released by those ancient magic circles had no effect whatsoever.
As Alsterd watched Broly master a new style to its highest level, unleashing an almost unbreakable aura of the Water God Style, despair filled his eyes.
Broly's power was beyond his comprehension. In this despair, Alsterd chose to burn his life force from this cycle, unleashing a power on Broly that surpassed even the power of his second cycle – the Mad Dragon Slash.
In the ninth cycle, the central continent of the Six-Sided World was torn apart from the lower jaw of the Crimson Dragon by his attack.
The entire continental plate was torn apart by the Dragon God's attack, but the effect on Broly was merely to break his Water God Flow defensive aura.
Of course, when he took the attack, Alsterd fought back so hard that he managed to force Broly's aura back to about twice its normal level, but that was about it.
"As expected, my Water God Style swordsmanship is still a bit lacking."
When fighting against true masters, Broly becomes more aware of the flaws in his own skills. He turns to look at the Dragon God, who is almost completely burned out, and jumps across the cracked mountain.
Only when he got close to the other party did he thank the Dragon God, who was on his last breath, and politely thank him for going all out to practice swordsmanship with him.
Is this guy mocking me? He probably is! That guy, the god of men, is like that too; he's His apostle, so he must be too...
Alsterd could no longer hear, and his vision was also blurry. Broly, who was opening and closing his mouth in front of him, could only imagine what the other was saying.
What followed was intense resentment and unwillingness, as well as an even stronger sense of despair and powerlessness.
How can he defeat the monster in front of him?
In his ninth playthrough, Alster died without finding the answer, and time rewound to the beginning.
In the new cycle, in the year 342 of the Ankylion calendar, Orstide came up with a plan.
He began collecting all sorts of deadly poisons in the world, intending to poison Broly, who would only appear after the year 407 of the Ankylosaurus calendar.
A person who is strong on the outside is not necessarily strong on the inside. Although this is only a last resort, it is worth a try.
