It took Wang Xiaoming a full half-day to fly from the outer sect to Perseus's base, a Greek-style castle.
That cat-eared girl is quite something. Generally speaking, these Familia bases are very secretive, but a cat-eared waitress at a coffee shop actually knew about it. Either that cat-eared girl is Perseus's mortal enemy and deliberately inquired about Perseus's news, or she's part of an intelligence organization and is very knowledgeable about this kind of information.
But regardless, that cat-eared girl is not simple. Maybe she can be developed into a long-term customer.
Looking at the huge Greek temple-like building in front of him, Wang Xiaoming didn't rush in. Instead, he opened his system interface to see what changes he had after coming to Hakoniwa.
His previous skills remained unchanged, but several special skills were added after all the skills.
【Hero Who Saved Humanity】
【You, who saved many worlds as a human, are a savior of the world and a savior praised by humanity. Entering the world of Hakoniwa, you have gained the approval of the Hakoniwa Central and have been granted the Spirit Rank of a Hero.】
【Demon King Who Slew Gods】
【You, who slew a Disobedient God, possess the title of Godslayer. Entering the world of Hakoniwa, you have gained the approval of the Hakoniwa Central and have been granted the Spirit Rank of a Demon King, possessing the Demon King's Host authority for Gift Games.】
【Rama】
【You, who replaced Rama, have become the new Rama, possessing the duty to fight against the Demon King. Entering the world of Hakoniwa, you have gained the approval of the Hakoniwa Central and have been granted the Spirit Rank of Rama.】
【Nidhogg】
【You, who slew the original Nidhogg, possess the authority of the original Nidhogg. Entering the world of Hakoniwa, you have gained the approval of the Hakoniwa Central and have been granted the Spirit Rank of the Pure-Blooded Dragon Nidhogg.】
【Steel Spirit】
【The Steel Spirit you contracted brings you new power, a special spirit that Hakoniwa has never observed, a new worldview. Entering Hakoniwa, she has gained the approval of Hakoniwa and has been granted the Spirit Rank of the First Steel Spirit, the Steel Queen. Using the Steel Queen's ability within Hakoniwa can unleash extremely special unknown power by consuming Spirit Rank!】
【The above skills are special skills, obtained after Hakoniwa converged the world and recognized them. They can only be used in the Hakoniwa world and will be lost upon leaving the Hakoniwa world.】
Good heavens, he got a bunch of good stuff all at once. Although he'll lose them when he leaves the Hakoniwa world, these Spirit Ranks will allow him to live very comfortably in the Hakoniwa world.
Four skills: Hero, Demon King, Rama, Nidhogg. His experiences have forcibly given him four Spirit Ranks.
In Hakoniwa, strength largely depends on Spirit Rank. The larger the Spirit Rank, the stronger the strength. As for Godhood, it's more of a BUFF. Different Godhoods can allow lower-level people to become different Gods, but what truly determines the strength of combat power is Gifts and Spirit Rank.
The Hero's Spirit Rank can be said to be the limit that humans can reach. After Wang Xiaoming activated this passive, he felt his power greatly enhanced. According to Hakoniwa's world-level division, Wang Xiaoming should be a Four-Digit Spirit Rank at this time.
As for the Demon King, that's a very convenient thing in Hakoniwa, because Demon Kings possess special Host authority. Once they start a game, everyone is unable to refuse and must participate, unless it's covered by a more powerful Host authority or stopped by special means. Otherwise, there's only one path to choose: passing the game.
Demon Kings are also the most feared natural disasters for the lower-level people in Hakoniwa, because the arrival of a Demon King means plunder and destruction.
As for Rama and Nidhogg behind them, these two are even more terrifying than the previous two.
Rama is one of the Ten Avatars in Indian mythology, and in Hakoniwa, these Ten Avatars, without exception, are all BUGS! Among them, several Avatars start at Two Digits.
As for Nidhogg, Hakoniwa's Nidhogg is directly a Pure-Blooded Dragon.
This involves Hakoniwa World's three strongest races: Star Spirits, Innate Gods and Buddhas, and Pure-Blooded Dragons. These three are the strongest races, naturally located in the upper echelons, with the weakest being Four Digits.
Whether it's Rama or Nidhogg, in Hakoniwa, they are both proper upper-level big shots with the blessing of various myths and stories.
Suddenly, Wang Xiaoming possessed four identities, giving Wang Xiaoming many operational possibilities.
The Demon King can join the villain camp, Nidhogg can join the Dragon race camp, Rama can infiltrate the God group, and the Hero can join the human camp.
And lastly, Aeste, a special spirit that has not been observed, a new worldview, and the unknown power that can be unleashed by consuming Spirit Rank, this is the real surprise. This description, no matter how you look at it, seems like a simulated Star Chart!
"Aeste, you are truly amazing!"
Wang Xiaoming couldn't help but let out a happy shout, which made Aeste, who had returned to Wang Xiaoming's soul, a little confused, but through the contract, she could sense Wang Xiaoming's excitement and immediately gave a happy response.
"Aeste is Xiaoming's sword, everything as Xiaoming wishes."
Wang Xiaoming grinned after receiving Aeste's response.
"Very good, then Aeste, let us begin our first battle in this world."
"Yes!"
Wang Xiaoming stretched out his right hand, and a gorgeous longsword with a golden hilt appeared. Gripping the hilt, Wang Xiaoming strode towards the entrance of Perseus's base.
The Spirit Rank instantly switched to Demon King, and the Host authority instantly unfolded, a black parchment appearing out of thin air and then falling from the sky.
This is, the Demon King's arrival!
346. The Non-Existent Demon King
The most direct manifestation of the Demon King's Host authority is the black parchment falling from the sky. The area covered by the parchment is the scope of the Demon King's game, and everyone within this area must participate in this Demon King's game.
Therefore, once someone discovers the black parchment falling from the sky, they will immediately shout.
"The Demon King is here!"
Outside the base, Wang Xiaoming listened to the screams coming from inside the base as he walked, filled with joy.
This time, Wang Xiaoming used the identity of the Demon King, so he launched a Demon King game.

【Seal of the Non-Existent Demon King】
On the black parchment, such a Demon King game was printed.
Such parchments were spread throughout the entire Perseus community's base, and everyone was looking at the content on them.
After the initial screams, the people of Perseus quickly reacted and began to think of ways to deal with this Demon Lord Game. This was the foundation they had as a mid-tier community.
"The Demon Lord is attacking. Have you found out which Demon Lord it is?"
"Not clear. It's an independent Demon Lord, not a mark of a Demon Lord community."
"A non-existent Demon Lord? What does that mean?"
"And the game content... A non-existent Demon Lord has discovered a treasure they desire. Are they targeting one of our community's Gifts?"
"The victory conditions are a bit difficult. This Demon Lord clearly intends to find the Gift they want. If they can't find it, they'll just wipe us all out. That way, we'll be judged as defeated, and everything in the community will belong to them."
"In short, no matter what, we need to find them first. This non-existent Demon Lord definitely has some hidden means. Use all of our search-type Gifts to find them!"
With their rich combat experience, the members of Perseus immediately took action and began searching for the so-called non-existent Demon Lord.
According to what was shown in the game, this Demon Lord should have special hiding abilities. As long as they find them, they can fight.
Generally speaking, a Demon Lord with this kind of hiding ability shouldn't be too strong in combat, otherwise they wouldn't let people find them.
So, combat members began searching the base for any traces of where this Demon Lord might appear, while the captain went to find the community's leader.
The current generation of Perseus, Louoss Perseus.
"How's the situation outside? Have you found any information about that Demon Lord?"
"No, we've investigated a lot of known information, but there's no news about this non-existent Demon Lord."
"Then find them and defeat them!"
Louoss Perseus glared. He had originally planned to go out and have some fun today, but before he could even leave, a Demon Lord came knocking on his door.
"Has the distress message been sent out?"
After coming down from a five-digit community, they, as a six-digit community, joined Thousand Eyes. This is a giant community, and the founders of the community are two two-digit existences, Alpha and Omega, the twin goddesses of Revelation and the End.
Relying on such a behemoth, if they encounter a Demon Lord, they can naturally ask these big shots for help.
"Not yet!"
But the squad leader didn't send out a distress call.
"Huh!?"
Louoss Perseus widened his eyes and glared at the squad leader, who glared back without showing any weakness.
"This is a trial belonging to our Perseus. As members of the community, we must defend our own honor. The Demon Lord should be defeated by us!"
The squad leader also grew up in the community for generations in the family. Unlike Louoss, this useless leader of the community, they care very much about their own honor, and they have always worked hard to defend the community's glory.
Although they have joined a large community, it doesn't mean that they have to ask for help whenever something happens. If they ask for help for everything, what honor do they have left!
"The Perseus of the past was a hero. The current you should also inherit the will of Perseus and become a hero who defeats the Demon Lord!"
"Hmph!"
Being reprimanded by the squad leader like this, Louoss snorted unhappily. Then, he directly raised his right hand, and a scythe like a round hook appeared in his hand. That was the weapon of Perseus who cut off Medusa's head in legend!
"Then guard it well for me! I will go to the treasury as the final gatekeeper!"
Perseus's left hand touched a small gorgon head pendant hanging on his neck.
"If you are so incompetent that you make me use this guy, even if the Demon Lord is driven back, I won't let you go!"
"Yes!"
Seeing that this second-generation ancestor was finally not thinking about asking for help, the squad leader smiled. Although they rely on Gifts to fight, who in the lower levels of the Little Garden doesn't? At least he has some backbone now.
Then the squad leader got up and left, and Louoss also got up and went to the treasury.
Although he doesn't know what treasure this Demon Lord is targeting, all the previous things and Gifts in the entire community are in the treasury. He should be right to go to the treasury and guard it!
Everyone in Perseus was ready, and Wang Xiaoming also entered the community's base while they were preparing.
The game officially begins.
Everyone received the signal that the game had started and began to carefully observe their surroundings.
"Have you found anything!?"
"Nothing in the east district!"
"Nothing in the north district either!"
"Nothing in the south and west districts either!"
"There are no traces of anyone entering, and nothing in the sky either. Could it be underground?"
"Quickly use defensive Gifts to seal the entire ground to prevent the other party from entering from underground!"
Wang Xiaoming strolled leisurely within the base, watching the soldiers around him wearing ancient Greek armor, holding large shields and spears, cosplaying Spartans, running back and forth, shouting loudly, and not intending to fight them at all.
Although this community acted as the second villain in the original story in the early stages, in reality, only the leader is an idiot, and the remaining members are basically the kind of people who are loyal to the community.
So Wang Xiaoming didn't intend to attack them. He was going to directly find that second-generation ancestor and then defeat this second-generation ancestor.
347. Sleeping Princess Leticia
"Have you found him yet!?"
"No, not a single movement!"
This is the conversation of the soldiers in the Perseus community.
Have you found him? No!
This is Wang Xiaoming's inner complaint.
He wanted to find that Louoss, but he had already been in this community base for 20 minutes and couldn't find this Louoss. Damn, where did this guy hide!
This is the Perseus community's base. Unlike the game venue in the original plot, it is located in the Little Garden, so the scale is much larger than that game venue.
Wang Xiaoming believed that the second-generation ancestor should prefer high places, so he ran to the highest possible places. As a result, he had been to all the high places but couldn't find this Louoss.
Could it be that this guy just happens to be not in the community today?
Wang Xiaoming, who had been searching for his target for 20 minutes and couldn't find him, was starting to think about directly wiping out all these soldiers, ending the game, and taking his wife away.
"How is Lord Louoss doing? Is there any movement!?"
