Heroic Spirit: I, Shinji, have tried my best.

"So, human, how are you going to convince us to form an alliance with you?"

"Persuade? If you think so, then you must be doing something wrong..."

"…What's the meaning?"

"I am only here to inform you, because as you can see, the human race currently does not have enough reward to attract the goblin fleet, and even I do not hold out much hope."

"Oh? That means you are just here to cause trouble unilaterally..."

Ronnie's face darkened. If the other party dared to say "yes" here, they would immediately punish them. Otherwise, if the news of being provoked by humans spread out, especially to the ears of the forest elves, they, the goblins, would really lose all their face.

"You can't say that... After all, just because there are no benefits now doesn't mean there won't be any in the future."

Shinji's behavior still seemed very casual, as if he didn't take the group of goblins who were eyeing him covetously in the opposite direction seriously at all.

"Don't you think this boring war should have ended long ago?"

"…Human boy, this kind of thing is not something you and I can decide. The war that has been going on for countless years cannot be stopped just because you say so!"

When Ronnie heard these strange words, he vaguely guessed what the other party wanted to say, but he immediately thought it was too ridiculous and gave up the idea.

Even if the opponent showed extraordinary strength, he was at best just a speck of dust in the endless flames of war... But Shinji's next words did interrupt his thoughts:

"The window period of the [Single God] lasted too long, and too many [Old Deus] coveted to become the master of the world, and used this opportunity to launch a war that swept the world..."

"The clear sky was replaced by the corpses of the [elves], the sunlight was covered by blood-red clouds, the earth was baptized by the flames of war, no grass grew, and the world was filled with killing and death like a meat grinder..."

"Do you really think that this is how the world should be?"

"..."

"Our goal is not to expand the war. We have only one goal. We... want to end this war."

"…Human…Do you know what you are talking about!"

Listening to Shinji's speech-like manner, Roni gradually became angry, and the other tribesmen saw this and hurriedly made way for him...

"You are just a human being... What qualifications do you have to say such things? It seems that I really overestimated you. I thought you would be a rare hero, but I didn't expect you to be just an arrogant guy..."

Ronnie slowly stood up from his seat and walked towards Shinji with a dark face. The others also took up fighting stances.

Shinji was too lazy to say anything after seeing this scene. He had never intended to have a good talk. This was just the first step. There was no need to be humble for the sake of that extra ally. Arrogance was the main theme of his visit this time.

[Then what follows is a big scene and then running away]

A halo lit up above Hubie's head, and Shinji also activated his almost fully recovered Sharingan. As long as the other party didn't directly detonate weapons of the level of [Marrow Explosion] here, they had the confidence to evacuate.

Ronnie looked at the two figures in front of him with contempt, stretched out his hand and said:

"So humans, the negotiations have failed...you just stay here!"

Just as the raised hand was about to swing down and the battle was about to break out, an old man suddenly walked out slowly, as if taking a stroll into the extremely tense room...

"!"

The moment they saw the old man, all the goblins, including the commander, changed color. They quickly put away their weapons and ran over to bow deeply and respectfully.

"…Big Daddy! Why are you here?"

Ronnie's forehead was covered with sweat. He didn't expect that just dealing with the intruder would attract this person... As for the anger that had just risen, it had disappeared completely at this moment.

There was another person who had the same intense reaction as them, and that was Hubie... When she saw the elder appear, all the mechanical devices on her body instantly deployed...

"…Shinji…Run!"

Xubi called out to Shinji anxiously, begging him to leave here quickly...

"This feeling..."

However, Shinji did not listen to Shubi's request. He slowly turned his head to look at the person who suddenly appeared... It shouldn't be a god!

The old man also looked at Shinji, his slightly cloudy eyes full of heaviness, just a glance at each other made Shinji feel irresistible...

"It seems that you are right... You should be the Dwarf Kami, Okan!"

The white-haired but muscular old man looked at Shinji briefly, his lips did not move, and he seemed to respond from his nose...

"Um…"

【alarm! alarm! 】

[Hostile target discovered, enemy individual: God of Forging—Okan, race: [Old Deus], ​​probability of our survival: zero…zero…]

[…No! Shinji must leave here! ]

Hubie gritted his teeth. The alarm coming from his body stimulated his central nervous system. A feeling of fear he had never felt before swept through his body. His calves began to tremble unconsciously.

"Please... please... Shinji, go... it's too late..."

"Calm down, Hubie."

Shinji put his hand on Shubi's head and rubbed it gently, trying to reduce some of her fear, but the effect was not obvious.

As a Mecha-Machina that is supposed to have no emotions, Shuvi is not afraid of her own [destruction], but after being with humans for a long time, she gradually understands the definition of [death].

The plans they made together have not yet been realized, and it is simply unacceptable for them to leave each other forever at this time...

As the only person at the scene who was not oppressed by the old man who was intimidating without even getting angry, Shinji felt a little sorry for Shubi's current condition, but he had no time to comfort him now.

Because next time, I might end up here...

"It seems that things have gone beyond my expectations... I don't plan to fight the little boss right now..."

"…Human?"

There was that deep voice again... Shinji looked at the other person warily:

"That's right. I wonder what the Lord God has in mind today to come and cause trouble for me..."

"…Hehe, this is my territory. How can you say that I am causing trouble for you?"

"Since you don't want to cause any trouble, please stay away for a while and don't interrupt my upcoming battle with the Dwarves..."

Hubie: “!”

Ronnie: “!”

All the goblins: "!!!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone present stared at Shinji as if they had seen a ghost...

No, man? You're so handsome! ?

Why don’t you take a look at your current situation first? How dare you talk like that?

In response to these blunt words, the Dwarfs broke out in cold sweat. Even Okan was visibly stunned for a moment, and then he laughed out loud:

“…Hahahaha! Interesting…Human, you are the first creature who dares to speak to me like this. Apart from the group of crazy kids of the God of War, this is the first time I have seen someone as courageous as you, hahaha…”

As the slightly naive laughter spread, everyone's tense nerves suddenly relaxed, and even the uncomfortable nasal sound disappeared.

Looking at it now, he is just an ordinary old man...

"Big Daddy, why did you show up at this time? I remember you were not..."

"Haha... It's nothing. I just sensed that there were guests, so I came down to check..."

“…By the way, aren’t you guys going to fight? Just keep fighting, don’t worry about me.”

Ronnie scratched his head helplessly. Why did he feel more confused the more he listened?

But since the Lord God called the unknown human a "guest", he had to reconsider the "arrogant words" that the other party had just said...

"Since Big Daddy has said so, let's continue...but the rules need to be changed slightly..."

Under Shinji's gaze, the leading dwarf opposite him took off the cloak on his shoulders, revealing his armor and muscles, and walked through the others and stood in front of Shinji.

"Since your ambition is so great, you must at least show some strength to match it... Next, I will be your opponent. If you can defeat me, we can reconsider what you just mentioned..."

Hearing this, Shinji smiled... Although there seemed to be some problems in the process, the situation seemed to be unusually smooth!

“…It’s a deal!”

"That's natural..."

The new rules have been set, and the next step is the simplest and most brutal one-on-one session:

"Spiritual suit, activate..."
