Chapter 520, 55th playthrough: The Rise of the Alliance, End of the Unranked Scroll.
"Broly, what are your thoughts on forming a guard force?"
In the 54th cycle, ten minutes before the time rewind, Alster asked the Saiyan boy a question.
What do you think?
"I feel I can learn from your future self, conquer this world, and unify its power."
Alsterd expressed his thoughts, which was a simple and effective approach.
Since the future Bro used this tactic and successfully built his own state, it's understandable.
So, if we replay it next time, we'll definitely be able to achieve the same thing.
What do you think?
Broly thought for a moment and then asked Loki and the others, wanting to get their opinions.
"It doesn't matter."
Alice had no interest in this, nor did Gilead.
"If Broly had a country, would Aisha have a mountain of things to manage?"
Xia Xia became somewhat troubled.
"I can help."
Princess Ariel was somewhat tempted, thinking that with her family position secure now, pursuing worldly power a little wouldn't be so bad.
"Conquering the world will surely result in many deaths."
Shizuka Nanahoshi asked the question.
"Inevitably, there will be victims."
The Dragon God replied that "conquest" is just two words, but it may represent the deaths of many people. No one knows how many Broly will kill in the future.
"Can we please avoid having too many victims?"
Hilfi asked, "This girl, who was well protected by Broly, still has a pure and kind personality."
Whatever decision you make, I will support you.
Luo Qixi is a demon, and her thinking is also biased towards demons. As long as it's not her own people who are sacrificed, she'll do whatever she wants.
"Does Ariel want me to conquer the world?"
Broly looked at the princess and asked.
"If it requires too many people to sacrifice, then forget it."
While power was somewhat tempting, Ariel hesitated if it required too many people to pay with their lives. Besides, her husband's kind nature was definitely a plus, so she gave this answer.
His wives offered their opinions, and Broly also took a liking to one of them, looking at Alster and saying, "If possible, I don't want to bring misfortune to others."
"I understand. So, we're not considering building a national power. If we want to gain enough protection in the next cycle, then we only have the option of winning over some powerful figures in that world. But how exactly should we do that? Coercion or bribery?"
Orstide nodded, but then frowned.
"Is it possible, Alsterd, that you can show mercy?"
Broly reminded him.
"Uh, sorry, I forgot about the curse-resistant helmet."
"I think I can help in terms of bestowing favors."
"Um?"
"When I was traveling through this world in the early game, the god of man happened to be my guide. It was from that guy that I learned many secrets of the world's powerful beings that were unknown to outsiders."
"For example?"
Some of the people around looked over with curiosity, and Broly did not hide anything. He directly told everyone present about the terrible experiences that some powerful people had had, which he had heard from the gods in previous cycles.
"However, in previous cycles I only heard these things as stories, and some gods didn't explain in detail when and where these things happened."
"It's alright, I'll investigate these things next time. I think I'll find something useful."
The time spent at Crystal Palace has entered its final countdown of thirty seconds.
"Well then, Broly, see you next time."
Without wasting any words, Alsterd stabbed himself in the heart with a chop to the neck, committing suicide on the spot.
. . . .
As the 55th playthrough arrived, the scent of the vast green grassland filled his nostrils, and Broly spotted a group of people standing to his side.
"Broly, it's been a long time."
Wearing a steel helmet, somewhat resembling Magneto, Alsterd greeted him with a smile.
That hearty laugh startled Broly, who rubbed his eyes, thinking he was seeing things.
"You must be the Broly brothers. I've heard about you from the Orstide brothers. They said you asked them to help me, and I, Chandur, would like to express my gratitude."
The Second Northern God stepped forward with a smile. He would always remember how, when he was a wandering knight in the chaotic land, the Dragon God had timely lent a helping hand and rescued his team from danger.
Besides him, Randolph was also present and expressed his gratitude to Broly. According to the Dragon God, it was Broly who entrusted him with excellent suggestions for improvement for his restaurant, which enabled him to reverse the losses of his restaurant. Now, Death Restaurant is a well-known restaurant in the Dragon Kingdom.
Beside them were many familiar faces. Among them was a red-skinned, muscular demon named Marta, who spoke in broken human language, expressing his gratitude to the Dragon God for his assistance to Oni Island when it was attacked by the sea race 54 years ago.
. . . .
"Is this what you mean by 'gain'?"
As Broly passively accepted the gratitude of these acquaintances from his past lives, he moved closer to Alster and asked in a low voice.
"This is only a small number of those who have received your kindness. They have offered to welcome you after hearing that the person who asked me to help them was coming into this world."
"Can you tell me what you've been doing since I arrived this week?"
"Of course, but before that, let's have a welcome dinner for you."
Alster summoned some dragon mounts, which came to greet Broly's group. They rode on them and went together to the grand hotel in the nearest town, where a sumptuous feast of drinks and food had been prepared.
At the dinner table, Broly listened to the Dragon God's story in this cycle. Unlike other cycles where Alster was infamous, he was now known as the Timely Rain in the Six Faces world.
Alster is always eager to help others and is always willing to do good deeds. He would never do anything like suddenly appearing to hurt someone or stealing a magical treasure from someone else.
On the contrary, he always appears like a savior when people are in a low point in their lives or in trouble, generously extending a helping hand to them.
Even though he explicitly stated that he was acting on someone else's behalf, the gratitude of many people he helped led them to spontaneously spread his good reputation.
It was just a welcome banquet, and three god-level beings came to express their gratitude, while the lowest-ranking others sitting with them were king-level beings.
As the saying goes, "Everyone who talks is a master, and there are no weaklings among those who come and go," which perfectly describes the situation before us.
Today, Alsterd's network of connections, built up over half a century, is incredibly extensive. Even without Broly's help, he could probably handle Laplace, who was resurrected in the 500th year of the Ankylosaurus calendar.
Of all the things Broly gave me in the previous playthrough, the helmet blueprint that weakened the curse on him was the greatest artifact, transforming him from a lone wolf into someone capable of rallying forces and uniting allies.
"The main target of the gods and humans in this cycle is me, but I have also considered the safety of your wives, so I have slightly affected their fate in this cycle."
According to Orstide, he went to the village of Migludia a long time ago and took Lokishi as his apprentice, personally teaching the demon girl divine magic.
They then went to the Tederodia tribe, intercepted Kyrie Illidan who was originally supposed to be taken away by the Sword God, and taught the big dog girl swordsmanship ahead of time.
"Instead of seeking protection from guards, it would be better to enhance their own strength. As their strength increases, the space for human gods to make calculations will decrease."
Of course, I still let them follow their original trajectory in terms of their major destinies. Loki entered Lanoa Magic University, and Kyrie joined the Black Wolf Fang.
"Yes, as usual, I gave Paul a lesson and a warning."
"So, what do you need me to do this time around?"
Broly asked, sensing that Alsterd seemed to have done everything that could be done in this loop.
"Most of the strong people in this world who are grateful have received favors from the Alliance. The rest are just some things that haven't happened yet."
Furthermore, the Undying Demon King on the Demon Realm isn't very bright. If you want to befriend them, you'll have to personally travel to the Demon Continent and have in-depth discussions with them.
Alsterd produced a summary report of the 55th cycle's actions, giving Broly a target for action in this cycle as well.
But before getting to work, Broly went straight to restore the memories of the wives he could invite into the Crystal Palace at this point in time.
Immediately afterwards, they went to the Demon Continent to make friends through martial arts. The immortal Demon King Atofi was defeated again in this cycle and made a vow to help protect Broly's family and friends in the future.
After being defeated, Budigandi, upon being informed by Broly of the specific time and location of his fiancée Chisilica's resurrection, declared that if the information was true, the boy would be his friend forever, and that if he ever needed anything, he, the Wise Demon King Budigandi, would always repay kindness.
The other demon lords were either defeated or attracted by the future knowledge Broly presented, and soon joined the alliance that Alsterd had formed in this cycle.
This isn't a formal organization; it's more like an alternate version of a social circle, where most of the people who can join are passionate individuals.
The main thing Alster did in this playthrough was to make as many friends as possible around him.
Of course, this approach also caused him a little trouble.
After Broly returned from the Demon Continent, he saw his former water god master appear at Orstide's house.
When she was young, Lydia was almost crippled by a nobleman from the same dojo who was jealous of her swordsmanship talent. Fate had originally saved her.
But in this playthrough, it is Alstere, wearing a helmet, who comes to her aid when she is at her most desperate.
Originally, it was just to do this water god a big favor, but Leda Lia has remained single in this cycle and is working for Orstide under the guise of repaying the favor. It's really hard to guess what the other party really means.
"Alsterd, have you ever thought about getting married?"
When Broly asked him a question, Alster felt completely overwhelmed.
"Let's get down to business, Broly. Are you planning to put your wife, the second princess of the Asura Kingdom, on the throne this time around?"
"That depends on what she herself wants."
"If Princess Ariel is willing to ascend to the throne and become the next queen of the Kingdom of Asura, it will be beneficial to our entire alliance."
Once our collaborator in the Kingdom of Wanglong, the Third Queen Martina, has her child, we will secretly support her in becoming the future heir to the Kingdom of Wanglong.
We can then secretly control the first and second strongest nations on the central continent, thereby stabilizing the situation in the conflict-ridden lands and subsequently influencing the situation on other continents.
In the 55th playthrough, Broly and Alster did not conquer the world, but they possessed the ability to manipulate the world's situation—this was not due to their individual strength, but rather to the powerful network of connections built up over half a century of timely intervention and kindness.
After Ariel expressed her willingness to become the next queen of the kingdom, the struggle for the throne of the Kingdom of Asura quickly subsided.
As if by coincidence, within the same month, the eldest prince died from a fall in his own residence while drunk, while the first princess died suddenly from excessive excitement while playing an exciting poker game with her male servants.
The second prince, who had this idea, was making contact with some nobles when he accidentally fell off his horse the next day and broke his leg.
After realizing that these unexpected events were truly coincidental, the second prince expressed his strong approval for his sister Ariel's willingness to step forward and become the popular and only heir to the throne.
Even the current King Asura, upon seeing the water goddess Leda Lia, who was following behind his ten-year-old daughter, immediately abandoned all his previous thoughts.
The Water God follows the Dragon God. The fact that the Water God appears behind the daughter as her protector means that the Dragon God is standing behind her, and that the Dragon God is part of an alliance that brings together the world's top experts.
It's worth noting that even the legendary hero, the Ankylosaurus King Percius, who always flew in the skies above the Kingdom of Asura, was a member of this alliance.
What else could he possibly say?
In March of Ankylosaurus year 420, the old king of the Kingdom of Asura fell ill, and Princess Ariel, only 15 years old, ascended to the throne and began to rule as regent, experiencing firsthand what it means to become queen without lifting a finger.
The following year, the crown princes of various countries secretly supported by the Alliance began to appear on the political stage of this world one after another, allowing the gods and humans in the World of Nothingness to directly see their own dark future of being permanently sealed away.
During the 55th playthrough, the god-man did consider intervening in the development of the alliance, but unfortunately, it was too late.
After discovering that this organization would bury itself in the ground in the future, most of the powerful beings in the Six Worlds were already monopolized by Orstide.
All that's left for Him to manipulate are a few big cats and a few small cats.
"No, I still have hope..."
The god-man, in his vision of the future, saw the last remaining light.
. . . .
"You want me to go to a rural village called Buena in the Kingdom of Asra and kill a girl named Silphi Yete?"
Randolph, the world's number one assassin, receives a request in a dream from a god while he's sleeping at night.
"As long as you complete the task, I will give you a very generous reward."
"Sorry, I'm no longer an assassin; I'm a cook now."
In the dream, Randolph spoke and then broke off the head of the god with his hand.
"Sylphie Yett, I think I've heard that name before."
After waking up in bed, Randolph thought for a moment and then remembered.
Several years ago, the Saiyan boy who had been kind to many people in the Alliance issued a request.
It is said that a family member has been targeted by an unknown evil god who will bewitch others in dreams to do things for him. Everyone in the alliance should be careful.
"So, that guy was the evil god?"
Randolph muttered to himself as he pulled out the bracelet that had been distributed to him along with the others, which was said to be able to resist the temptations of evil gods.
. . . .
"Badigandi, you owe me a favor. Kill two people for me, and we'll be even."
"Who to kill?"
"A demon named Lokishi Migrudia and a human girl named Alice Boreas are currently in your territory, in a Migrudia village..."
The words of the god and man were interrupted before they could finish.
"I'm sorry, I can't do that."
Why?
"Because I only owe you one favor, but I owe another woman's husband two favors. Broly defeated me and helped me find Chisilica. Your favor and his favor cancel each other out. Now I don't owe you anything, but I still owe him."
The wise demon king Badigandi answered the question with great wisdom, causing the god who was inciting others to kill key figures to have his mentality explode.
. . . .
"The gods have made their move; Alice and the others have encountered assassins."
Are assassins powerful?
"It's just the strength of a higher level."
"It seems our plan has been very successful. The vast majority of experts in this world are members of the Alliance."
"Orster, I'm about to leave this world, and I want to eliminate the last remaining threats before I go."
Broly explained his purpose.
"This is the last list of top professionals. Their personalities and ways of doing things mean they are destined not to be our friends."
In his 55th playthrough, before Broly's time limit expired, he eliminated a small group of relatively strong professionals in this world who had not joined the Alliance.
Then, amidst the reluctance of Luo Qixi and the others to part, the Dragon God repeatedly assured them that he would protect them and ensure their safety in this world.
Because the time spent there was completely consumed, they directly left the six-sided world.
