With a reputation of 70,000, one leader travels across countless worlds with his adventure team.

After several days of trekking, the group returned to the border outpost and arrived at the Adventurers' Guild. Bai Ze, the greatsword master Guts, and Goblin Slayer submitted proof of the extermination of the monster camp.

Incidentally, the adventure team also rescued dozens of captured civilians, both men and women, from a small cave dug by goblins on the right side of the monster camp. The men were likely monster food, and the women... well, that goes without saying.

The entire hall was in an uproar. The most notorious monster camp outside the northwestern border of the kingdom had been wiped out!

The counter staff called over the supervisor to check the monster fragments and certificates together. The total number of monsters was around 4000, including more than 20 mid-level monsters and 6 high-level monsters.

Bai Ze's Mountain-Shattering Slash was too overpowered. Originally, there were about 15 high-level monsters, but half of them died in the first wave under Bai Ze's skill. Their corpses were buried by ground fissures and lava, and they couldn't be dug out.

Finally, the three mysterious monsters within the temple ruins were also taken back by 'Darkness', and no monster certificates were obtained, making it impossible to register and accumulate social reputation and the experience needed for adventurer advancement.

The four core members of Gus's team are already Silver-rank adventurers. This large-scale mission won't upgrade them to Gold-rank; it will only provide them with experience.

However, the other four members of Gus's squad, who were of lower rank—the young scout, the young sorceress, the apprentice warrior, and the apprentice saintess—were all promoted one level, from Porcelain to Obsidian.

The four newcomers excitedly grabbed their teammates and jumped for joy. The junior priest of Goblin Slayer's team also leveled up to Obsidian. The junior priest happily showed Goblin Slayer and Raphael his new Adventurer Rank badge.

Bai Ze failed to advance further this time, falling just short of reaching the Silver rank. However, the four adventurer ranks of the girls around Bai Ze continued to advance, with the two Red Jade and two Jade Jade advancing.

Raphael received the two new bronze-tier adventurer tokens, which were equivalent to upgrading two ruby ​​tokens to bronze tier and two emerald tokens to ruby ​​tier.

Afterwards, the counter staff and the supervisor brought over a box of rewards, which consisted entirely of gold coins;

This is a reward pool accumulated by the kingdom, caravans, and travelers who were attacked by the troll camp. No one had been able to complete this task before, so these rewards had been piling up at the border outpost. Now they can be distributed.

After discussing for a while, Bai Ze, Guts, and Goblin Slayer divided the reward into four parts: Bai Ze took two parts, and Goblin Slayer and Guts's team each took one part.

Bai Ze counted the rewards and found they totaled nearly ten thousand gold coins. He also gave away some magical equipment and potions to Guts and Goblin Slayer instead of keeping them.

Led by the female knight and the witch, the women set up several tables of sumptuous food in the Adventurer's Hall lounge to celebrate the successful completion of the monster extermination operation.

"Ding~"

"cheers!"

"Long live Lord Bai Ze!"

Bai Ze wasn't stingy either, bringing out more than a dozen bottles of black tequila and rum for everyone to drink and feast. Several newcomers who had never tasted such good liquor before blushed after the first glass, especially the little priest who looked even cuter with his face red and his little tongue sticking out.

Sitting next to the young priest, Raphael looked at the blushing, dizzy priest and smiled as he took out several bottles of Mengxue Ice City Magic Juice and replaced the wine in the young priest's hand.

Adventurers who had received the news kept arriving in the hall. After learning the details, they all rushed over to toast the people they knew. The show-off spearman was the first to be knocked down.

The heavy warrior Guts disdainfully lifted the spearman to the table against the wall and put him down, letting him continue to sleep on the table. Guts then returned to his seat to continue enjoying the fine wine that Bai Ze had given him.

The party continued until the moon was high in the sky before everyone dispersed. Goblin Slayer, who couldn't hold his liquor but was wearing a helmet, was actually already drunk at the banquet, but without taking off his helmet, he sat there and fell asleep.

Goblin Slayer was actually quite happy to have personally killed over a hundred imp goblins, as well as two large goblins and a goblin shaman. However, being a man of few words, he didn't show his feelings.

Bai Ze and Guts escorted Goblin Slayer back to the inn. After seeing that Goblin Slayer was sleeping peacefully in his room, the little priest returned to his own room with peace of mind.

Bai Ze waved goodbye to Gus and they each returned to their respective residences. After returning to the hotel, Bai Ze summoned the women back to his personal space. The matter of the third underground level of the temple ruins still needed to be discussed in detail internally.

In the open space in front of his magnificent house, Bai Ze led the women to sit in a circle. Celine, who hadn't seen Lord Bai Ze for a long time, sat in Bai Ze's lap, with Zhu Shi and Wang Yuyan on either side.

Bai Ze recounted his experience from that day again. The girls who had followed Bai Ze into the third underground level of the temple ruins listened to his story. After thinking for a while, A Ying spoke first:

“After everyone was frozen that day, all I heard was ‘Don’t rush, let me finish…’ I didn’t hear the rest of what you said, Aze. It’s possible that the mysterious person spoke to you alone.”

Shinobu Kocho nodded and continued:

"Being able to control time and space at will is something only god-like figures can do. You mentioned before, Aze, when the system opened the Goblin Slayer world, you made a deal with the gods of Goblin Slayer. That voice is very likely one of the gods of Goblin Slayer."

"'Mother of Light' might be referring to the supreme god of light in the Goblin Slayer world, but I don't quite understand why that voice adds the suffix 'Mother' to the god of light. Is this voice a child god of light?"

Bai Ze stroked his chin, pouted, and recalled the tone of the voice from before, then said with a smile:

"When that voice said 'Mother of Light,' its tone was clearly somewhat sarcastic. The 'Dark God King' mentioned by this deity was obviously different from the 'Demon King' who was defeated in the Goblin Slayer world before."

The voice also mentioned the little hero and me, the intruder, and the final reward. There are so many things I don't understand at all, it's so annoying!

Bai Ze scratched his head, looking uncomfortable. Celine looked up at the annoyed Bai Ze, grabbed his hand and placed it on her head, wanting him to pat her head to relieve her troubles.

Bai Ze smiled and patted Celine's head. Misha then said:

"These things are most likely harmless to you, because the tone of the god who spoke was obviously very gentle, and he even made fun of other gods in his words so that you would know that he had no ill intentions towards you."

Take it one step at a time. What parts of the original storyline of this world are still useful in your mind? As long as they help you complete the mission, keep moving forward and see what comes next.

After listening to Misha's words, Bai Ze nodded. Now he knew about the Goblin Slayer storyline, the Goblin King storyline, the Water Seven storyline, and the Thousand Gold Swordsman Snow Mountain Goblin Paladin storyline.

Bai Ze continued:

"Let's not worry about what these gods want to do for now. Completing our own mission is the most important thing. We'll see what they want to do later!"

 …

What are you trying to do? The gods want the epic soul within you to have children!

The Dark God hadn't participated in the gods' dice-rolling event for a long time. He secretly sent a few guards down to the mortal realm and used the energy emanating from epic souls to create a pseudo-troll king. After experimenting with it and obtaining the data, the Dark God was very pleased.

'Light' inadvertently gave birth to Epic Soul, and after taking on the role of a mother, Darkness decided to replace the 'Demon King' that was supposed to appear regularly with the 'Dark Demon King' that it had created using Epic Soul.

Every time, the Dark side loses battles to the 'heroes' of the Light faction. Although the Dark side can still recruit the Demon King they are conceiving into the God Realm, it still makes the Dark side very upset to see a group of 'losers' subordinate gods.

Although the 'Demon King' had won a few times, the difference in quality still made the Dark God very uncomfortable. This time, the new 'Dark God Demon King' born from the epic soul of the Dark God has reached the level of a god.

The grown-up 'hero' is no match for the 'Dark God Demon King'. The way to defeat the 'Dark God Demon King' is the one I had planned before: as long as Bai Ze in the lower realm continues to fight monsters, he will eventually go and kill the new 'Dark God Demon King'!

When Bai Ze sees the 'Dark God-Demon King' who looks almost like him and kneels down to call him father, he wonders what kind of emotions these creatures in the lower realm will experience.

Darkness looked at the 'Dark God Demon King' whose body had been fully constructed and whose appearance was very similar to Bai Ze. The epic soul was fully charged and suspended in the heart area of ​​the 'Dark God Demon King'.

However, before the dark soul could fully merge with the new body, the dark nodded in satisfaction as it looked at the burly 'Dark God-Demon King' with wings on its back and merged its soul into the 'Dark God-Demon King's' body.

Black light burst forth from the body of the 'Dark God and Demon King', filling the dark palace. Slowly, the black light began to recede, eventually merging into the body of the 'Dark God and Demon King'.

He knelt on one knee, his wings fluttering slightly behind him as he rose to his feet. His red eyes, identical to Bai Ze's, snapped open, unleashing a captivating energy. The 'Dark God-Demon King' was born with a divine gift: "Charm."

Any adventurer or monster with a weak mind will be controlled by their own desires once they see the eyes of the 'Dark God and Demon King,' and their fate will depend on the 'Dark God and Demon King's' mood.

Darkness looked at its new masterpiece, nodded proudly, and said to the 'Dark God-Demon King':

"Your task is to descend to the mortal realm, collect and lead all the monsters outside the human kingdoms to form a new Demon King's army to await the arrival of the 'Hero.' You do not need to kill the 'Hero's' team; simply defeat and imprison them."

Wait for your 'father' to lead human adventurers to defeat you. You know what to do after that. 'Light' may send your 'sister' down to help the human side. As long as she is not with your 'father', you can attack her as you please, just don't kill her.

This time, let's put on a good show for the gods and the humans below, so they'll know that I, 'Darkness,' can also win!

"Understood, Mother..."

"stop!"

"Just call me God, and forget the word you didn't say!"

Having almost followed in the footsteps of the Light, Darkness quickly interrupted the 'Dark God-Demon King' who was about to speak, making him change his words.

"As you wish, Lord God!"

"Hmm~ That's right. 'Mother' only needs to be one Guangming. We'll see if Bai Ze wants her as a wife then~"

Hahahahahahahahaha!!!

Thinking of this, Darkness laughed arrogantly. The 'Darkness God-Demon King' squinted at Darkness without saying a word.

 …

The adventurers at the border outpost live a very structured life: accepting quests, completing missions, eating, sleeping, and then accepting more quests...

After returning from the troll camp, Bai Ze and the women stayed at the border outpost for almost a week. During this time, they went out one after another and dealt with thousands of low-level monsters, while also searching for the Goblin King's whereabouts in the surrounding area.

In the Goblin Slayer world, it is currently early summer. The Goblin King, leading his goblin army, launched an attack on the town of Cowgirl, Goblin Slayer's childhood friend, during the Harvest Festival after autumn.

The Goblin King is currently hiding somewhere, gathering his goblin army. No trace of this large amount of blood energy has been found yet.

One morning, Xiaomeng woke Bai Ze from Yu Yan's bed and said:

"Aze, the three-person team you mentioned has appeared. The green-haired elf, along with a dwarf and a lizardman, went to the Adventurers' Guild."
