Chapter 464 Loki in the Dragon God Library, looking forward to the next playthrough
Upon hearing what the God of Beating said, Orstide raised an eyebrow.
He was more than just interested in it; he practically dreamed of it.
"But the true form of a god exists in the world of nothingness. How can you possibly defeat Him?"
"Fight in your dreams."
Broly answered matter-of-factly.
He is indeed unable to be a real god offline, but he can be online.
In this playthrough, neither the human nor the god recognizes him; all that's needed is a simple release of his aura perception.
Given that guy Ren Shen always manages to come knocking on our door, there's a high probability he'll do it again this time.
"But isn't this a bit pointless?"
"Ohstide asked, frowning."
"Don't underestimate dreams. This is a skill I learned from succubi in other worlds, and I've already been able to recreate dreams to a degree that's close to reality."
Therefore, even in a dream, the pain inflicted by the attacks within is incredibly real. Those with weak willpower who die in a dream risk dying in reality as well.
"So what should I do?"
"Have dinner first, then take a shower and relax. After that, stay away from me so as not to interfere with my tricking of the gods into my dream. Once I've tricked the gods into my dream, you can lie down next to me and sleep. Then I'll pull you in."
"But how do I know if a deity entered your dream?"
"That's up to you to read my expression. My meeting with the gods takes place in a deep dream. Although I can't maintain a conscious state outside, I can give you hints by synchronizing my expressions within the dream."
"Understood."
Back at the hotel, after finishing my bedtime preparations, the plan to trick someone into dreaming and getting beaten up began.
. . . .
In the world of nothingness, humans and gods devote most of their energy to looking at their own future, but also devote a small portion of their energy to the outside world.
In a world of nothingness, observing the fates of people in the outside world is a primary way for humans and gods to pass the time.
Sometimes, He will give revelations to outsiders, usually starting with good revelations, and then suddenly stabbing them in the back when they trust Him.
Few people realize that this is a matter of revelation, and they do not blame Him for the tragedies they experience. However, after those people have experienced despair, God will still take pity on them and tell them the truth. Then, they watch as the people, in the end, regret believing in themselves and in the revelations in their dreams after experiencing a miserable life.
At that time, He would also stand up and mock those people for their lack of effort, ridicule them for actually handing over their lives to Him, an unknown god, to rule over, praise their foolishness, and admire their suffering...
You ask if this is enjoyable?
Honestly, seeing those people with tragic fates wanting to beat him up but being powerless against him was incredibly satisfying for him.
However, today was slightly different. A powerful aura suddenly appeared in the future vision, which made the god alert and search for the owner of the powerful aura.
Then, they found a boy fast asleep on the bed in a luxury hotel room.
After only a slight pause, the god-man slipped into the other's dream.
"God of Men, I've finally seen you again."
Upon entering the dream and seeing the boy, the boy greeted Him as if he were an old acquaintance.
"Who are you?"
With a mixture of wariness and curiosity, the god asked the question.
"I'm Broly, your friend!"
Broly emphasized the word "friend" and began to tell the gods and men about the events of the first sixteen cycles.
Listen to the story of the Dragon God, himself, and Broly from another world.
The god was initially surprised, then delighted. Seeing that the future was still bright, He chose to believe the boy's words.
"So, you've defeated the evil dragon god sixteen times already, haven't you?"
"right."
"How about this, I'll continue to help you find your destined partner, but you'll continue to help me defeat the evil dragon god, okay?"
The god asked the question.
"Well, you'll have to ask Alsterd for his opinion on this."
"What do you mean?"
"What he means is, you're in big trouble!"
As the sound came from behind, the god's lower back was also pressed down by Orstide's hand.
Dragon Saint's battle aura erupted, and the god's lumbar spine crackled as he was blasted away.
A wall appeared from the white mist, and with a bang, the image of the god and man was imprinted on it.
And this is precisely the wall of the arena of the immortal demon king Atofi.
"Pulling you into a dream and strengthening the dream takes a lot of time. Fortunately, that guy, the God of Humanity, is very concerned about your existence."
Broly said to Alster, who was in a dream.
"Why? Aren't we friends?"
Pulling himself out of the wall, the god questioned Broly.
"We were in the seventeenth cycle, but in the eighteenth cycle, when I discovered you were using lies to manipulate me against Alsterd, we were no longer."
Now, on my nineteenth playthrough, I've discovered that you lied to me again when you were helping me find a romance partner, so you'll have to pay the price.
"You think you can defeat me? I am a god, a true god!"
"Bang!"
Broly's figure vanished from the spot, and when he reappeared, his foot was already kicking the faceless face of the god.
Why were you so fast?
Broly first unleashed a barrage of punches and kicks on his opponent, leaving the god helpless, before kicking him toward Alsterd.
In response, Orstide unleashed a series of hand-blade-style Light Blade combos at the god, tearing his skin and flesh apart, ripping him to shreds.
"Two against one? If you're so capable, then have a fair one-on-one fight with me!"
"When dealing with someone like you, who would bother with a fair fight? Right now, you're just a tool for us to vent our anger on."
"Stop hitting me, stop hitting me, ouch..."
The god finally realized that his previous bad premonition was not an illusion. It was just that the beating happened in a dream, not in reality, so his future vision could not see such a thing. But now the pain was very real.
Broly and Alsterd played a doubles match in their dreams, beating up the god and man for an entire night until dawn broke outside.
"Ah, this is the best night's sleep I've had in all these years. Thank you, Broly!"
Alsterd woke up feeling refreshed and sincerely thanked Broly, then asked Broly if he would continue beating people up tomorrow.
"It can't continue because I can't actively connect to that guy's dream. He has to come to me himself to trap him in the dream. And do you think that after being bombarded by the two of us last night, he'd still have the chance to come to me on his own?"
After hearing Broly's words, Alster felt a little regretful that such a great thing, which struck both gods and men, could not be repeated.
"However, we can come back next time."
Then Broly added another sentence.
Upon hearing this, Alsterd was taken aback, but his serious face quickly turned up into a faint smile: "I'm suddenly looking forward to the next playthrough."
For Broly, beating up the god was just a side effect; the moment he found Loki yesterday, he had a purpose in this world.
. . . . .
"I'm still short nine Lanoa silver coins. If I have to consider my daily living expenses, I need to keep at least three Lanoa silver coins in my savings after paying my university tuition so that I won't be in such a tight spot."
Counting her entire fortune, Loki sighed. The magical learning resources at La Noah Magic University were excellent, but studying there was just too expensive.
"Good morning, Luo Qixi."
Just as the demon girl was thinking about going to find Professor Genus to ask him to write her a letter of recommendation, a clear voice greeted her from the side.
"Good morning……"
Luo Qixi responded subconsciously, then asked in surprise after realizing what she had said.
"No, young master Broly, what are you doing here?"
"It was obvious that I decided to enroll after learning that you were a student here."
Broly answered matter-of-factly.
"How did you get into school?"
Luo Qixi asked subconsciously.
"My friend has some money, so I took the magic stone he gave me and handed it to the dean of the academy. The dean was very happy and shook my hand, and approved my application to enroll."
Luo Qixi: "..."
She almost forgot that anyone could attend La Noah Magic University as long as they had money.
However, this wasn't a problem with the school itself, but rather that all the magical research was simply too expensive.
If there are no children from wealthy families who can enroll with expensive sponsorships.
Then this school probably won't have many magical research projects.
It's even less likely that once students graduate here, their diplomas will be equivalent to pedigree certificates, proving a person's excellence.
On the Central Continent, a diploma from Lanoa Magic University is highly valuable, because its graduates are either talented or wealthy.
"Congratulations, Broly."
Luo Qixi looked at the boy with dead fish eyes and offered her congratulations without thinking.
Are you having financial problems?
Broly asked, even though he had just heard the demon girl talking to herself.
"We are a bit short of money."
Luo Qixi did not deny the matter.
"I have money, I can give it to you."
Broly took out his money pouch from the Crystal Palace and handed it to Loki.
The money bag was bulging, and through the slightly open opening, Luo Qixi caught a glimpse of golden yellow.
A bag of gold coins—no wonder he's the fool who posted the meeting request... cough cough, quite the generous character.
"Thank you for your kindness, but this is your money, not mine."
Luo Qixi refused. As the saying goes, "If someone is being overly solicitous, they must have ulterior motives," and besides, the boy really did have something to do.
Even though Broly looks very young, at the age of thirteen, Loki knows that some noble children are already having affairs with their maids, and it's not uncommon for them to even have children.
She has no intention of selling her body's purity now.
Where are you going?
Seeing that the demon girl didn't want his money and walked past him, Broly quickly followed and asked.
"library."
Although wary of the boy, Luo Qixi still answered his questions, considering the meeting fee from yesterday.
"Can I come with you?"
"As a freshman at the magic academy, don't you have to attend classes?"
"I got in at my own expense. The dean of this college gave me the status of a free student. I am free to move around and can choose to attend classes or not."
Upon hearing this, Luo Qixi's lips twitched. Just how much benefit had the other party given to the dean to make the dean of Lanoa Magic University offer such outrageous treatment?
"The purpose of a library is to lend books, and many of the books there are quite difficult. Are you sure you can understand them?"
Luo Qixi had some doubts.
"It's alright, if you can't read the book, I can read you."
Broly said matter-of-factly that perhaps it had been too long since he had encountered a target for his conquest, and even just looking at this demon girl made Broly happy.
"Broly, if you were even slightly older, saying something like that would be considered sexual harassment."
Luo Qixi started complaining.
"But you don't seem to mind being bothered by me."
Broly looked at the happiness value on the Crystal Palace panel and said with certainty that it had increased slightly.
"I'm only being lenient with you because you gave me a silver coin as a greeting fee yesterday. Don't misunderstand."
Luo Qixi quickly denied it, but the tips of her ears turned a little red.
Although Broly's words, "I can look at you if I don't want to read books," were simply an objective statement made in accordance with the facts, they still made the demon girl feel somewhat shy.
After all, no one had ever said such a thing to her before, and it was equivalent to saying that "all those profound and precious magic books in the library are not as beautiful as her."
This might sound a little awkward, but for Loki, who values magical knowledge, it was already considered flirting.
It's similar to what some playboys might say to women, like, "This flower is beautiful, but you are more beautiful than this flower."
. . . .
"You want me to write you a letter of recommendation?"
Genus looked at the demon girl in front of him, frowned, and asked.
"Yes, Professor Genes, I would like to inquire about the Magic University's tuition waiver policy for outstanding students, and this requires a letter of recommendation from a teacher."
Luo Qixi maintained her bowed posture and did not hide the reason why she wanted the letter of recommendation.
"But why should I write a letter of recommendation for you?"
Genius asked the question.
"You'd better write it."
Broly rolled up his sleeves, his expression full of threat.
"Who is this?"
Genius looked over with some curiosity.
"The children who just enrolled today are special students approved by the dean."
Loki explained something and then pulled Broly aside.
"It's my business to ask Professor Genius to write a recommendation letter, please don't interfere, okay?"
"Uh, okay."
Looking at the demon girl's serious face, Broly nodded.
"Mr. Ginas, please don't hold this child against you."
Luo Qixi then spoke to the man in the white robe.
"Of course I won't hold it against you."
Genius nodded. He had actually received the message from the dean that morning, which stated that the academy would be increasing funding for magic research projects led by various instructors this year. He figured it was a benefit brought by this wealthy boy who enrolled today.
"Loki, I only write recommendation letters for my students. If you want my recommendation letter, then join my Water King-level magic research project and become my student."
Genius looked at Loki and said again.
"Um, with my current skill level, am I eligible to join Professor Genius's research project?"
Luo Qixi asked, her eyes wide.
"I acknowledge your talent in water magic. As for whether you are qualified to join my research project, that depends on your own efforts."
"That letter of recommendation..."
"I can write it for you first, but if you don't meet my requirements for mentoring students later, I will remove you from my research project."
"Thank you, Professor Genes. I will try my best."
"You should start calling me mentor now."
"Yes, Mentor Ginas."
Loki was very happy.
With the letter of recommendation, she only needs to earn one Lanoah coin to guarantee a stable three-month study life at the magic university.
"Young Master Broly, could you please stop staring at me?"
The demon girl looked up, and for some reason, she was particularly bothered by the gaze of the boy beside her as she read.
"oh."
Broly obediently stopped looking at Loki and instead stared at the cover of the book she was reading.
After a while, Luo Qixi raised her head again.
Seeing the boy looking idle, she couldn't help but sigh.
"If you really have nothing to do, I recommend you take a look at this book, 'Magic for Beginners'."
The demon girl took a book on basic magic theory from a bookshelf in the library, handed it to Broly, and said...
Broly didn't refuse. He took the book and started flipping through it. The knowledge about magic circulation recorded inside was somewhat similar to the magic he had learned in the world of Konosuba. It was understandable and not too boring.
In the evening, Luo Qixi stretched and, after detaching herself from the knowledge in the book, realized that the boy next to her was still looking at the book she had given her that morning, and had already turned to the last page.
"So, is there anything you don't understand?"
Luo Qixi likes studious children, and since she was the one who recommended the book to the other person, she took the initiative to ask about it.
"I can understand it all."
The basics of magic that Wiz taught him were far more complex than this.
Of course, due to the differences in the world, the workings of magic vary somewhat.
But while observing and experimenting, Broly had already figured out the most efficient way to operate magic.
"Uh, you studied magic before?"
"I've studied it."
"No wonder. If there's anything you don't understand, you can come and ask me."
"it is good."
"Gurgle..."
Just then, Luo Qixi's stomach suddenly growled.
This is only natural, after all, they've been reading all day.
"You want to come along..."
Just as Loki was about to ask Broly if he wanted to go to the university cafeteria for lunch, Broly handed her a piece of rose-colored jerky.
"Hey, beastman's dried meat? Where did you get this from?"
"Crystal Palace, would you like some?"
Luo Qixi swallowed hard. If it were money, she would definitely refuse, but it was just food.
"I will invite him back."
After saying this, Luo Qixi accepted the boy's feeding.
The chewy and fragrant dried meat brought a look of satisfaction to the demon girl's face.
At the same time, it also made her subconsciously overlook an important thing.
"Is a library a place to eat?!"
Appearing behind them without them noticing, the librarian's angry roar made Loki, who had just realized what was happening, grab Broly and run out while chewing on jerky and apologizing.
"What if they're not allowed in the library?"
Once outside, Luo Qixi became somewhat worried.
"It's okay, I'll give her an offer she can't refuse."
