Chapter 3826 A Brilliant Rainbow (9) — You're the only one who can take the blame for this, temporary worker Kintoki!
Kintoki couldn't really explain the source of his fear of maids... Strength was definitely a very important factor.
But if it's really based entirely on ability, Kintoki wouldn't admit it.
This guy is ruthless; he even cut down the former [store manager]—of course, whether he dared to do it or not is one thing, whether he actually succeeded is another.
The former [shop manager] and the current BOSS are no different, right? Aren't you afraid that you're different? The Grand Steward of Dark Souls can't be more powerful than the BOSS, can he? At worst, I'll just die, the lights will go out, and my eggs will fly away. I've already lived enough.
So... why am I afraid of maids?
This is a question he still can't figure out the answer to... He just feels that this woman is particularly uncomfortable to be around, as if she is his natural enemy, and everything about him is suppressed.
In short, Kintoki identified this feeling as something like: the oppressive feeling of a strict mother, the domineering power of a perfect step-sister, and so on.
……
"...What?! That old guy's [Black Card] is actually real?! That's impossible!"
The moment Jin Shi turned around, he had already prepared his words. His brain, which had shrunk to the size of a mung bean, was now growing wildly.
The maid simply smiled and watched without saying a word.
Kintoki was inwardly panicking, but he still forced a smile and said, "This is impossible, Miss Yuya, there must be something strange about this!"
"Oh?" The maid wasn't in a hurry at all. Instead, she was interested in hearing what kind of twisted logic this guy could come up with. "Then tell me, what's so strange about it?"
The reason for not being in a hurry is... the moment Odin took out the Black Card, the Shop should have responded according to procedure—but the owner did not this time.
Odin probably didn't know one thing: that this generation of shopkeepers had the power to challenge the shop's trading rules.
Although this would displease the Root and even require some sacrifice to quell its restlessness, being able to refuse is itself a miracle.
Because the previous generation of store managers obviously couldn't do this.
The maid thought to herself, this is probably some kind of victory for the [Eternal Royal Family]... With Angelie's intervention, the dragon... has been able to unite with its master, further awakening the master's [humanity]. Similar situations will likely occur again in the future.
She understood Angelie's intentions perfectly... because she and Angelie had once had a profound conversation.
One's own master, even if he is acting as an agent of the "Root," should be free.
Angelie, or rather the fate of the Eternal Royal Family, desires that the Crown Prince of the Empire completely control the Root, rather than being satisfied with a so-called proxy.
Based on the above, the maid wasn't really angry about Kintoki cutting the [Black Card]... and could conveniently shift the blame onto Kintoki's recklessness.
She had already prepared her reasons: This was the personal behavior of a subordinate employee… or even a temporary employee, and it had nothing to do with the management of the [store]. We are very sorry about this matter, and we will severely punish this employee…
After all, the business of the [shop] still needs to be done, and the reputation built up over countless years cannot just collapse like this... It's best to know as little as possible that the owner can refuse the [shop] transaction mechanism.
The maid's position is quite sensitive at this time. On the one hand, her status was strictly speaking elevated by the "Root," and she essentially needs to stand on the side of the "Root."
But since I've already fallen in love with my master... then I'll indulge his little whims while also protecting the reputation of the shop.
She doesn't mind doing more.
……
Unaware that he had been preordained, Kintoki, whose brain had grown to the size of a soybean, finally came up with an explanation.
Jin Shi said solemnly, "Miss Yuya, as you know, I haven't had much contact with my new master... Nevertheless, I have a deep understanding of her character! She is a benevolent, wise, and approachable new master! Her kindness often moves me! I just don't understand how the [Black Card] created by my new master could fall into the hands of such a heartless person!"
The maid's smile gradually brightened... What on earth has this guy been through to say something like that?
"Yes, yes, yes, the new master is such a kind and touching person!" Jin Shi slapped his forehead. "The [Black Card] should fall into the hands of someone who needs it, not into the hands of a schemer like [Odin]! So, I thought back then that the [Black Card] in his hand must be fake! Even if it emitted the same aura as the [Black Card], it's because that old bastard used some kind of cunning method! Damn it, just thinking about that makes me feel like the new master's kindness has been tainted! I... I'm so angry, I won't be able to get rid of this grudge until I kill that old bastard!"
The scene fell silent for a moment.
Jin Shi remained motionless, filled with trepidation.
After a moment, the maid breathed a sigh of relief. "Kintaro... it seems that you've learned a bit more about being tactful since waking up from this vacation."
—Do you think it's easy for me? After this brainstorming session, I don't want to think about anything for a year!
When Kintaro was called out, Kintoki felt that he was in a slightly better position... As a younger brother, he was instinctively sensitive to such changes in tone.
"...Miss Yuya, is this my explanation?"
"That's it then," the maid said calmly. "But this is your personal action and has nothing to do with the [Shop]. This is the last time. The [Shop's] credentials cannot be overturned by you just saying they're fake... Do you understand?"
Kim Shi blinked unconsciously... He was still pondering those words: Couldn't they be overturned with just a casual remark?
—Whatever, if I ever upset you again, I'll chop you up again…
"The next regular [lifetime] vacation will cost three times the normal rate," the maid suddenly added.
Jin Shi felt like he'd eaten shit... given his efficiency in earning [performance points]—however, he also knew that this punishment was already considered lenient.
"Also, this [Silver Hall] was originally a good reward." The maid narrowed her eyes. "You caused the [Shop] to suffer losses, so you'd better find a way to make up for it. Otherwise, I'll have to reassign you to one of the rentable personnel... for example, like [Cleopatra], guarding [Eden].
What's meant to happen will happen eventually...
Jin Shi's lips twitched slightly... Damn it, that's practically the same as being in jail.
“…I understand,” he replied dejectedly.
"That's fine then." After saying that, the maid disappeared into the Silver Hall.
Originally, the master pretended not to know about the existence of this [Black Card], but unexpectedly, Kintoki went berserk and even dared to cut the [Black Card], so the maid had no choice but to appear.
……
Call...
Jin Shi secretly wiped away a cold sweat, and muttered to himself, "Damn it, the Demon Chief Steward is actually being so agreeable this time? I have a bad feeling about this..."
Scratching his head, Kintoki stared blankly at the throne he had already chopped open.
He didn't know what to do next... he just remembered feeling good, and that was it.
……
……
What happened in the Silver Hall was very secretive... even John didn't know. He only vaguely sensed that someone from the shop had come, most likely the maid.
But John was not satisfied with what happened in the Silver Hall. Kintoki had done such a rough job, he deserved a good beating. This guy was the type who would climb on the roof if he wasn't disciplined for three days, so he was used to it.
Currently, betting on Z-coin is closed, and there is no doubt that the vast majority of those who bet on Odin lost money.
Jinshi's axe blow actually stunned John as well.
"What a terrible teammate..."
……
……
On the other side, Odin's internal turmoil had subsided after he coughed up blood.
He wasn't someone who couldn't accept defeat; otherwise, he wouldn't have endured for so long, thinking of making a comeback and returning to the realm of Asgard.
Looking at the undamaged black card in his hand... how could this be fake?
Although it was stolen...
"It seems I made a mistake based on empiricism." [Odin] quickly reviewed the situation and suddenly realized that even in the [Shop]... the dark souls inside the [Shop] didn't seem to be a solid mass.
Is there internal competition within the store?
Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain Kintoki's insistence that the [Black Card] was counterfeit... [Odin] quickly thought of a power struggle within a dynasty.
The Shop Manager is undoubtedly supreme, but the Shop Manager has many powerful Dark Souls under his command, who may all be secretly coveting the Shop Manager's position?
Odin knew nothing about this and could only guess... but this guess seemed plausible.
Anyway, I was only dethroned because of power struggles.
“Master… the Silver Hall has been destroyed, your plans…”
The silver-armored Valkyrie who was guarding him closely was quite worried.
Odin waved his hand and took back the Black Card... Although he didn't know why the transaction had failed, the Black Card was real, and it had even blocked Kintoki's attack... This thing, even if it was just considered as a defensive artifact, was invaluable.
“It would be even better if the plan could succeed.” Odin sighed. “However, I have never placed all my hopes on this.”
"Master, give the order! Let us enter the Silver Hall and slay the enemy!"
Odin was in a state of mixed feelings, pleased by the Valkyries' loyalty but also annoyed by their belligerence.
Strangely, the labyrinth guardian did not pursue them... After destroying the Silver Hall, there was no further movement.
Through his connection with the Silver Hall, he could sense that Kintoki was still inside, and hadn't even moved... which was very strange.
We can't just wait for myself to go back again, can we?
Going back is a joke. We can't win a fight anyway, and who knows if we'll even be able to escape next time...
Now, with the Silver Hall destroyed, the battle has taken a turn for the worse. Odin's Pain of the Strong is also time-limited. Once the effect of this card disappears, the Valkyrie, who has lost the protection of the Silver Hall, will likely be unable to fill the gaps against the peak powerhouses of the 003 Small World at full strength.
"It's a pity this is a small world. If we were in the void, I could suppress most of them by myself!"
A silver-armored Valkyrie couldn't help but say regretfully.
As the most powerful Valkyrie warriors in the realm of Asgard, their strength is naturally not limited to what has been shown so far.
Their power is actually linked to their master's divine power... It's just a pity that Odin has been stripped of his divine position. When he fled the realm of the gods, he only took the Silver Hall with him. After many years of wandering, Odin, who has lost his divine position, has long since degenerated his divine power to the point where it is almost below the level of the Morning Star.
"The Silver Hall is only damaged; it can be repaired." A glint suddenly flashed in Odin's eyes. "I've encountered far more desperate situations; this is nothing."
Having said that, Odin took a ring from his hand and handed it to a Valkyrie beside him. "Go, summon the Rainbow Bridge, and let Asgard descend."
The Valkyrie, who had instinctively taken the ring, suddenly tensed up and gasped, saying, "Master, given the quality of Asgard, once it descends, this world will likely be unable to withstand it... Moreover, the false god will immediately discover your presence!"
The Valkyries called the one who usurped Odin's throne a "false god".
They are essentially the legendary rivals, both being [Odin].
But they follow Mr. Wednesday's Odin, while the other is naturally seen as a false god.
Odin chuckled softly, "Since the creatures in the Silver Hall want to kill me, and my mortal enemy wants to devour me, let them fight like dogs... I'm no longer planning to hide."
A flash of golden divine power swept across Odin's body, and the old gentleman's appearance instantly returned to youth... He wore a laurel wreath and a white robe.
"As I command..."
……
……
Fireworks lit up the streets of Washington, D.C.
At this moment, a small section of the rear cargo hold of the transport plane was hanging on a seven-story apartment building—this was debris that had fallen from the sky, and it was now billowing thick smoke.
Inside the apartment building that had been wrecked by the transport plane wreckage, a huge water balloon suddenly rolled out of the cabin.
The water balloon then burst open, and General Ross, Agent Felice, and a mutant fell to the ground simultaneously.
After a few coughs, General Ross scrambled to his feet, stammering, "Phyllis...Water Man..."
"I'm fine..." Agent Philistines sat up, panting heavily. "This time, it was all thanks to [Water Man] that we were spared..."
“I can’t withstand the laser beam of the ‘Motherland Soldier’ next time…” The man known as the “Water Man” said, his face pale. “There’s a ‘Laser Eye’ in the army… it’s simply incomparable.”
"Where is it?" General Ross's expression suddenly turned unusually anxious.
He rushed toward the front half of the cabin, frantically searching for something... Finally, a briefcase the size of a briefcase was found in the rubble, and General Ross breathed a sigh of relief.
This involves an extremely secretive plan by the US military... Ever since S.H.I.E.L.D. messed up the arena match, this insane plan has been secretly plotted among the radical high command of the military and has been named the "Doomsday" plan.
...A large number of nuclear warheads were secretly transported into Washington, D.C.
The military is planning the most horrific disaster in human history, using the entire city of Washington as a price to ignite a formal war between the United Nations and the "New World"!
No one would believe that an army protecting a nation would be so ruthless as to destroy a country's capital... As the victim of [Doomsday], the United States will launch a war against the [New World]!
The military believes that only by drawing the entire world into the first season of the supernatural society can the supernatural power of the world be greatly depleted... Ideally, the supernatural powers of both sides should be at roughly the same level!
Furthermore, with the combined power of a large number of nuclear warheads exploding, theoretically very few of the extraordinary forces gathered in Washington at this moment could withstand it... This is also a great opportunity to greatly deplete the extraordinary forces of countries outside the [New World].
The massive number of extraordinary deaths will also transfer the hatred of various countries to the "New World," and the fear of the entire population will make it easier to advance the war.
This time it's Washington D.C., so next time it might be Chongqing, or maybe Paris...
As long as the New World exists, humanity... will never have peace!
……
But General Ross now faces a difficult choice... He can't leave Washington, D.C., and he can't just detonate the bomb here, can he?
Furthermore, the appearance of Odin... was completely outside of General Ross's intelligence.
"Phyllis, I need you to find a way to get me out of here as soon as possible! That's an order!" General Ross said in a deep voice.
“General… I’m not Superman.” Agent Phil couldn’t help but chuckle wryly.
[Water Man] was also dry-faced at this moment... Anyway, he had done his best to save General Ross from the hands of [Homeland Soldiers], and he couldn't care less about what happened next.
"Damn it..." General Ross cursed angrily. He walked to the broken outer wall of the apartment and looked around at the surroundings... The more he looked, the darker his face became.
“Phyllis, you…”
Just then, [Water Man] suddenly screamed... At the same time, gunshots rang out.
General Ross instinctively turned around and saw Agent Philistine's pistol already pointed at him... the bullet had even left the barrel.
puff--!
The bullet struck General Ross squarely between the eyebrows. General Ross's eyes widened, his brain was instantly destroyed, and he died without ever knowing what had happened.
Agent Philistine walked up to General Ross expressionlessly and snatched the briefcase—General Ross had just opened it once to check the activation device inside, and Philistine had glimpsed the combination.
Agent Philistine let out a soft sigh of relief, and after confirming that the password was correct, he quietly took out his phone.
I waited a few seconds.
"...It's me, Godfather. Although there were some twists and turns in the process, I got the item."
"Great, I'm at the community high school... Bring your things over, and be careful."
"I'll be there in fifteen minutes."
