I, with my frail and sickly body, simultaneously traverse hundreds of worlds.

The Chronicle of the Sons of the Greek Gods: Chapter 164 Business Platform

"Born to fight, until death! Come! Fight!!!"

Watching Paimon, who became even more courageous after being crushed, his expression gradually lost control, and he even shouted out a famous line from a certain White Tiger God of War.

The way everyone looked at Paimon was somewhat strange.

Could it be that they were so badly abused by Durandal that they were forced to develop MM's XP? Sharing power and memories, they wouldn't have been forced to adopt such a bad habit, would they?

Several of Bai Zhi's began to regret sharing their power with Paimon without careful consideration. They knew his situation perfectly well, yet they had been so careless. Sigh—

"Not bad, Paimon. Your personality is a bit abstract and you have a foul mouth, but your indomitable spirit is commendable. Playing with you is a good form of relaxation as a form of rehabilitation."

Kyubeymon felt a surge of fighting spirit. Digimon are a fanatical race that prioritizes battle and never refuses an invitation to fight.

Moreover, after returning, Kyubeymon will settle Gatomon and BlackGatomon, and then go to cause trouble for the Juvenile Division led by the Ultimate Digimon. The longer the time drags on, the more Digimon join the Juvenile Division, and the greater the threat to Paimon's life will be.

Kyubeymon intends to evolve, not to die.

In case an Ultimate-level being comes in person, fight the Ultimate-level being in your childhood.

That's really too exaggerated. Besides, Kyubeymon hasn't evolved into Lucemon yet. Challenging a Perfect-level monster is already the limit of its limits.

As for the shared space, where the risk of death is avoided, is it a place for combat evolution?

Kyubeymon did have some ideas about breaking through the shackles of evolution by fighting to the death with its own kind.

The problem is that among all the Angelica, the strength of the Kyubey is truly the best.

Even if everyone gangs up on him, Kyubeymon can remain undefeated.

"He asked someone to help me compile a report for the Chamber of Commerce, as well as a substitute for virtual reality technology. During this time, I found the House of Evolution, got in touch with Dr. Genus, and after Sykes provided a specific type of 'monster' to induce, the three of us jointly developed a human enhancement drug, opened up the market, and earned a considerable reward."

Now my business plan can develop steadily. In today's world, what business model has the lowest risk and is extremely profitable? The answer is a platform, especially a monopolistic platform.

Glasses didn't hold back in describing his business empire to everyone.

"Technology is the primary productive force, but strangely enough, most of the technology in the One-Punch Man world focuses on robots, heavy firepower, and mind transfer—areas related to strength and combat power. Perhaps this is due to the world's environment. Virtual reality technology is at most limited to AR games, therefore—"

I plan to use virtual reality technology to establish an anonymous exchange similar to a black market. At that time, whether human or monster, hero or wanted criminal, everyone can trade on the exchange before revealing their identity, whether it is money, materials, scientific research results, rare ingredients, or living monsters.

With the support of Psykos's Monster Association and Dr. Genus's intellect, once the first market is opened, the subsequent commercial platform will be a goose that automatically lays golden eggs; it's no exaggeration to say it's an extremely profitable venture.

He clenched his fist and raised it high above his head, his eyes filled with fervor and a thirst for money.

Everyone applauded and encouraged him. The only thing that made this bespectacled man weak in his feelings for others was his desire for money, which was the only remedy for his emotional ups and downs. It was understandable that the bespectacled man craved money.

Today, Jason shares in the divine blessing from Hera: "Noble gold will accompany you throughout your life."

Perhaps the effect isn't as extreme as in the Greek world, but once it's replaced in the One-Punch Man world, as long as money is involved, there's no need to worry about glasses.

"I'm truly envious." As the spectacled man described the business empire, the celestial being Carbonis arrived in the Angelica Space and happened to hear about this money-making project, shedding tears of envy.

"Hera's blessing is equivalent to the Golden Rule; you can make a fortune even if you set up a small stall."

Solomon didn't understand what was so enviable about this. Shared power is something everyone possesses, and as long as it's not an ability that contradicts the world's values, its effects shouldn't change much under the alteration of the world's rules... unless someone loses their mind and voluntarily gives up accepting Hera's blessing.

Judging from Carbonsis's thirst for money and his bloodshot eyes of envy, even if he gave up all his abilities, he would never give up Hera's blessing.

“What do you know!” Karbensis explained, running his fingers through his hair, “The Celestial Empire is a dictatorship based on the emperor’s faith. It is known for its powerful military and outstanding leaders. The empire’s faith is unwavering, and almost all of its citizens and soldiers regard honor and loyalty as the entirety of their lives.”

"The lawless zone is resource-poor and a no-man's land where the empire exiles criminals. In addition, all sorts of extraordinary people gather there, which is why the Kallet, an anti-empire illegal armed organization, was born."

Tell me, if I were to open a shop there, even the smallest, most remote shop in the imperial city, the rent would be an amount I could only dream of, given my background in the no-man's-land and the extra taxes it would bring. Setting up a stall on the roadside would be okay temporarily, but with the Golden Rule, once business picks up, believe me, the city management officers would come looking for trouble with me every few days.

Moreover, given the imperial dictatorship and its religious climate, if I dared to take action against public officials, I wouldn't be met with help from my former Imperial Academy classmates, but rather from my own teachers and senior students who personally came to clean house.

The Empire's policy of supporting and favoring orphans has been a long-standing strategy, which has cultivated many outstanding talents.

Rumor has it that the highest leader of the Kallet also studied at the Imperial Academy, but later betrayed the Empire for some reason and founded the Kallet.

In cities where imperial laws maintain order, Carbonsis, who comes from lawless areas, has no other option but to join the army.

As for doing business in lawless areas?

It's even more of a joke. Without a significant reputation and strength, if Carbonis dared to open a shop, a large number of informants from different forces, as well as petty thugs and even desperate fugitives would come to beg for money on the very first day.

Kelly's enhancer, while carrying the risk of failure and weapon breakage, provides a real boost to combat power with each enhancement.

She had amassed a fortune from adventurers in Arad through this, yet in the lawless zone of the Celestial Realm, she dared not reveal even a trace of information about the enhancer.

It's important to know that Kelly is an extremely famous and outstanding female gunslinger active in the lawless areas of the Celestial Realm. She possesses exceptional strength and is also the beloved disciple of Sha Ying Belit.

Kelly was so charming and captivating, not to mention Carbonis...

The Chronicles of the Greek Gods and Their Sons: Chapter 165 Falling from the Sky Sea

Guard against day and night, it is difficult to guard against house thieves.

The Imperial Academy of Sciences was the place of enlightenment for Carbonsis. His beloved teachers and kind classmates were among the only two bright spots in his life during his studies there.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, after his fruitless adventures in the lawless zone, Carbonsis's future will likely return to the Imperial Academy of Sciences, where he will become a teacher, or he may use the academy as a springboard to join the army and serve the empire.

Before entering the shared space, Carbonsis's strength was only considered above average, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, awakening would be his limit.

Freya, Carbonsis's best friend, confidante, and mortal enemy, possesses talent and combat skills far surpassing Carbonsis's. At a young age, she has transcended the limitations of different professions, pushing all the courses of the Goddess Gunner to the point of near awakening.

Among the reasons why Carbonsis chose to leave the Imperial Academy of Sciences, besides the fact that he couldn't make a lot of money at the academy, there was also a sense of inferiority that he felt he was not good enough for Freya, and he didn't want to drag down his arch-rival.

The morning star that shines in the sky should not be dragged into the mire by the shadow of the abyss that rises from the mud.

But everything changed after Princess Alizee was attacked and taken away by Kallet.

"Hehe, I've imagined many scenarios of returning to the academy. There's the scene of her returning in a sorry state after failing to survive in the lawless zone, the scene of Freya accepting the invitation from her childhood friend when she was promoted to dean, and even the scene of her dying tragically without leaving behind a body, only a message being sent back... But the only thing I didn't expect was to sneak back to the academy's armory to plunder."

Carbonsis sneakily evaded the academy's security surveillance, stopping and starting along the way. Finally... wait, is the academy's security really that weak? It's comparable to Hikari's laboratory in the Land of Light; outsiders can come and go almost freely.

Carbonsis thought that at most he would break into the student dormitories, steal some incomplete equipment and firepower made by the students, and then go and fight Kallet to the death.

As a result, apart from the stricter guards at the gate, he didn't encounter any guards or even a single person after that. It was as if the academy was deserted. Even the defense programs that should have been activated seemed to malfunction, allowing Carbonsis to pass through without any hindrance.

So he decided to be bolder. The principal and teachers who were secretly observing his actions seemed to be baring their teeth. The worst thing that had been predicted had happened. Even though they had been mentally prepared, their hearts were still bleeding when it happened.

If it weren't for Freya, that clueless brat would never have had the chance to return to the academy.

Having safely reached the armory, Carbonis used a key he had picked up from the roadside to open the gate to what was considered the most forbidden area within the forbidden area of ​​the Imperial Academy of Sciences.

Carbonis could somewhat understand the heartache felt by the old men who were secretly observing, after all, what came into view was a familiar yet unfamiliar scene, and the smell of money was wafting through his nostrils.

The Mechanic's Mechanized Arsenal

Ez-8 Suicide Bomber, G-1 Corona, G-2 Thunderer, Ex-S Viper Cannon, G-3 Predator, Air Combat Mech Storm, Interceptor Factory...

Gunner's heavy firepower group -

Anti-tank guns, laser cannons, focused flamethrowers, FM-92 spike cannons, quantum bombs, X-1 compressed quantum cannons...

A fully equipped ammunition depot for ammunition experts—

Shotguns, armor-piercing rounds, silver bullets, freeze rounds, explosive rounds, flash mines, G-18C freeze grenades, C4 long-range bombs...

Incredibly, Carbonese also found Gaborga's spatial coordinates and the key to the satellite rays within them.

And the Imperial Academy of Sciences' greatest masterpiece, the battlefield space bag.

Carbonis explored the storage space of the space pack, which could hold the ammunition and firearms of the entire armory, mechanical equipment, and all sorts of materials, and even had extra space for emergency food and water.

"Hehe~ I underestimated Freya's reputation in the academy. As soon as the news of her breaking into the Kallet alone spread, these guys who always disliked me finally came up with something and used a sneaky maneuver very well."

As Carbonis relaxed, the lingering smell of gunpowder around him spoke volumes about the sheer scale of the battle he had experienced.

Things were just as he described.

With his exceptional physical attributes and reflexes, coupled with weaponry capable of dominating an entire battlefield, the Gun God became an undeniable heavyweight storm on the Karlette battlefield.

They broke through the plains from the front, taking advantage of a division's blue-fire machine guns.

They managed to destroy three of the Kallet's forward bases before being stopped by the Kallet reinforcements at the last line of defense outside the headquarters.

According to information that Carbonis had gathered in advance through his bribed henchmen, Freya was imprisoned inside this border headquarters.

In order to avoid creating unnecessary threats, Carbonsis activated almost all of his mechanical suicide bomber and interceptor factories, and even used his only precious air combat machine, Storm, for suicide attacks.

Ignoring the costs of his money-burning strategy, Carbonis used the exchange of tokens to force his way into the Kallet border headquarters.

He was in a bloodthirsty frenzy. Thanks to the fact that the headquarters of the Kallet was not much different from the others, he quickly found Carbonsis in his cell and Freya, who was imprisoned in the deepest part of the prison, her combat suit stained red with wounds.

When he saw that the other person's eyes still held the same unwavering determination and decisiveness, Carbonis breathed a sigh of relief.

Without any intention of catching up after a long separation, he used the increased strength gained from sharing his experience to break the steel prison bars and the chains binding Freya with one hand. He then took out a number of bullets and heavy firearms from his spatial bag and handed them to her.

Despite not having seen each other for many years, the two worked together surprisingly well. With the help of their assistants, they fought and fled at the same time. During the process, Freya even searched for internal information about the Kallet, hoping to find out the exact location where Princess Alizee was being held.

Unfortunately, luck is conserved.

Carbonsis was fortunate enough to rescue Freya before she was defiled.

Among Kallett's reinforcements was a gunner whose strength far surpassed that of the two men, who charged through enemy fire.

Commando Captain Landilus, one of the four elders of the Callet, is a machine gunner with extremely strong skills and the mercenary commando captain of the lawless zone.

Leading the "Hounds of Landilus," the commando team turned the tide of the battle.

Carbonsis and Freya were forced to turn and run away until they were chased to the edge of a cliff.

“Have you heard? Below the celestial realm lies a sea suspended in the sky, and beneath that sea exists a continent completely different from the celestial realm.” Carbonsis extended his hand to Freya, inviting her, “Would you like to make a bet with me?”

"I never imagined that when we met again, it would end in such a pathetic way." Freya grasped Shenlai's hand in return and said, "You abandoned me once, don't even think about abandoning me a second time."

Carbonsis and Freya exchanged a smile and then fell backward.

In Landilus's eyes, the figure completely disappeared into the sea of ​​clouds...

The Book of the Greek Gods and Their Sons: Chapter 166 Overcorrection

"Should we congratulate or lament the scene of falling off the cliff in the heavens? You landed on the continent of Arad, and your adventurer life officially began. But at the same time, you, and your Freya, also entered Hilder's sight."

A disheveled Paimon, having just finished his crushing battle with Cupid, happened to overhear the end of the Carbonsis story.

"So, you're currently falling into the air in Arad, taking a break in the shared space to rest?"

Paimon believed that his talents lay in his physical abilities and his imagination, and that his intellect was not his forte, especially the delicate task of sorting through memories, which was not suitable for him.

The Bai Zhi group rarely blocks their memories, so each time they share, the later the Bai Zhi enters, the more ridiculously large the amount of power and memories they receive. It's fine when they return to their original world and slowly sort out their memories after the event is over.

Having suddenly absorbed too many memories, it's unlikely that one can understand them all in a short time.

"No, that's not it. The fall was very complicated. To be honest, the process of falling into the sea was very oppressive. With Jason's unfinished divine artifact body, I could still withstand the pressure of the seawater, but Freya couldn't. I had no choice but to hug her as she curled up and release the power within me to relieve her pain. After that..."

Then I broke through the seabed of the Sky Sea and fell into Arad. To be honest, at that time, I thought I was going to die...

Carbonsis recalled unpleasant memories.

The Arad continent is at least tens of thousands of meters above the Sky Sea.

Falling from tens of thousands of meters in the air, surviving is extremely difficult; not everyone is Durandal.

In the end, both of them survived.

The price of using Carbonis as a human shield.

"I strongly suspect that Celia was behind the fact that the protagonist of DNF appeared unharmed in Loran."

Carbonis said it with great seriousness.

Swordsmen and fighters go without saying, but there are also adventurers who roam the continent, training and striving to survive.

But the demon loli and the celestial gunman were a different story; they were swallowed by a dimensional rift and fell from a height of tens of thousands of meters.

In dangerous situations, without a backup plan, the most likely outcome is immediate elimination upon landing.

"So you mean you're no longer in Loran?" Solomon understood the implied meaning.

“Yes, one of the forbidden areas of the Grand Forest, the Thunderous Ruins of Venom, where the Cat Demon Clan led by the Poison Cat King resides,” Carbonsis coughed a few times before giving his answer.

"Given your Gun God strength, Freya should be reaching the Awakening realm by now. The Venomous Thunder Ruins are not even an experience dungeon for you. Judging from your condition, you look quite miserable."

"Do you remember The Seven Heroes of Rainbow Cat and Blue Rabbit? At the beginning of the story, when Black Tiger attacked the previous master of the Rainbow Sword, Rainbow Cat was hit by Pig Wujie's poisonous butterfly dart in order to cover Qilin's escape. In the subsequent story, this talented young hero Rainbow Cat was repeatedly ambushed. Did he ever have a moment of full health? Or in other words, if Rainbow Cat had been healed, he might even have been able to solo Black Tiger with the Fire Dance Whirlwind and Rainbow Sword Technique on the twelfth floor."

"Then, look at me again."

Carbonsis pointed to his injuries: no fewer than ten bullet holes, dislocated bones from the fall, and several broken ribs. Coupled with the deadly Thunder Ruins, where even the air was filled with poison, he and Freya were in extremely poor condition. The fact that they were still alive was a testament to their strength.
