First planet - Day 9.
"See that?
That's the full display of my ability, P2W.
What army? What special events?
Money can win against any obstacles in the end."
*sluuurp*
Mr. Mayor, while watching the zombies struggle inside the trap tunnels, commented while drinking something.
The crowd nodded in agreement while drinking or munching on something.
The army of zombies was disciplined, orderly, and fearless.
But they were crushed by 'money'.
Even with the delay of the trap's reload time, the army couldn't travel more than 500 meters deep into the tunnels.
Everything was getting cut, melted, or burned to ash midway.
The scene was so brutal and gruesome that, by Mr. Mayor's order, children under the age of 16 weren't allowed to stay around anymore.
The show became age-restricted on the spot.
[ 01:00:00 ]
*HUMPH*
The blurry figure far away snorted, causing everyone to tremble.
The unpredictable factor, the suspected two-headed, building-size final boss, finally started moving.
*tremble*
People's hearts weren't the only thing that shook.
Even the ground started shaking as the figure walked towards the city.
Everyone felt dizzy as the giant got closer.
*Sluuurp*
The sound of Mr. Mayor sipping his drink brought them back to reality.
"I say, wise elderly number 1, who said this dude has two heads?
Cut his salary for this month in half, and send him to math class.
How can you count seven heads two ?"
A timid girl said from the back,
"I-I didn't count it, I heard about it from others ..."
Little Mortal looked behind but didn't find who said that.
The old lady, who didn't know if this was a good time to argue about the number of heads at this moment or not, asked,
"What should we do now ?"
Little Mortal rolled his eyes at her.
"Didn't I already tell you?
Retrieve the ceiling cards.
I can't see the monster's face anymore."
The venue turned silent.
The head of the 10-meter-tall monster was now above the tunnel,
And everyone only saw how many heads it had, but as it got closer, they couldn't see most of its upper body anymore.
The elderly, responsible for the middle tunnel that the Monster was trying to squeeze into, removed the ceilings after final confirmation.
When the crowd saw the heads, which weren't 2, but 7, they all gasped in shock!
"Are you kidding me !"
"How could it be them ?"
"Aren't they here ?"
"Why does that head look like me !"
Little Mortal, with his mouth slightly open, shifted his gaze between the monster and his 7 deputies.
The corner of his eyes started twitching.
The crowd gulped when they saw the changes in their Mayor's behavior.
The atmosphere became even heavier, and an eerie feeling started consuming them.
It seems a monster, scarier than the one outside, was awakening here.
And so, Mr. Mayor, who couldn't tolerate the unexpected disrespect towards his deputy Mayors, snapped!
"You ugly monster!
How dare you pretend to be my 7 adorable, chubby deputies !"
And threw his gun.
*BANG*
And a second later,
*BANG*
Little Mortal, who saw the final boss, was actually a mix of his 7 deputies, but an ugly and twisted version,
became so angry that after the first shot, he didn't let go of the gun, and while flying away, he did a backflip to offset the gun's momentum, aimed again, and fired again!
The first bullet was a headshot that, after hitting the first head, turned into 6 more bullets and hit the remaining six heads.
When the 7 heads exploded, the second bullet fired by Little Mortal hit its target.
This time, it hit the chest, sank inside, and as if it hit the heart, 7 bullets from different directions of the monster's chest exploded out, showing it had seven hearts in total too.
*BAM*X2
2 crushing sounds echoed.
The headless monster, with 7 holes in its chest, falls heavily on the ground, and at the same time,
Mr. Mayor, with his handgun in hand, which he still didn't let go of for some reason, crashed into a random building.
The crowd didn't even have the time to know what was happening.
5 seconds later, the house rubble moved, and Mr. Mayor came out with difficulty, still with a gun in his hand,
and started running towards the tunnel while shouting,
"You vile creature!
I kill you!
How dare you mock my people!"
Only now did the citizens and newborns come back to their senses and hurriedly tried to stop the mayor from going into the tunnel.
But the Mayor even raised his gun at them and threatened them that he is going to kill every witness who saw the 'monster that shouldn't be seen' if they don't let him go!
Only when the 7 chubby deputies joined the 'calming down squad' and told him the ugly monster was already dead did he finally calm down.
The venue finally became quiet again.
Little Mortal snorted and, while watching his infopad, asked,
"What now ?"
The countdown was locked on [ 00:55:00 ].
The elderly group, while not knowing the answer, said what they were thinking,
"I think when the final boss made its move, we had 1 hour to figure out how to beat it..."
"The only way to beat the monster, if I'm not wrong, was to destroy all of his heads and hearts fast enough before they regenerate."
"And for that, the final season reward was necessary."
"Isn't that mean the only way to finish the special event was for everyone to basically support only one person ?"
"The whole point of this season is to 'survive'.
Which means everyone was supposed to die, and the last survivor with the most points who did everything to survive could receive the season reward and finish the job."
Little Mortal, who heard the discussion, almost snapped again,
"What kind of nonsense are you guys talking about?
This was a P2W stage!
It's like this in every game.
You need an event so hard that for F2P (free-to-play) players, it is impossible to finish!
But Pay-to-Win players should be able to just walk through it with ease and show off their wealth.
That's the whole point.
Or else, what's the point of 'money' if you can't show off with it to poor people? Huh?
Don't come up with some deep analysis for me!"
The crowd,
" !!! "
Was it really like that?
If not, then how did he use 'money' to finish the whole thing easily?
Were they always played for these F2P teams?
Even those tycoons were 'poor people'?
At this moment,
Everyone’s infopad suddenly made a *DING* sound.
[ - SYSTEM MESSAGE-
The first planet season has officially ended.

1 Seven-Head Deputy Boss (20x multiplier for total score)

The newborns, old and young, gasped in shock when they saw the total points.
But it wasn't over.
[ - Special Event multiplier -
Time-based multipliers:
Time remaining multiplier: 55 minutes left.
168,000,000 × 55 = 9,240,000,000 points

Final score calculation:
4,444,400,000,000 × 710,000 = 3,155,552,400,000,000,000 points ]
The newborns felt dizzy even looking at the number.
They were 100% sure the citizens multiplier was supposed to be close to zero in the system prediction, and the final point wouldn't go that high!
They wondered what would happen if the 1.5 million newborns were multiplied by too?
The Mayor's voice sounded,
"For those who don't know what number that is.
It reads like this,
Three quintillion, one hundred fifty-five quadrillion, five hundred fifty-two trillion, four hundred billion."
The crowd looked at him blankly...
The final score was so out of place that even the 'system' itself doubted it.

You may now choose to:
1. Travel to Planet 2 and continue your journey into the next event.
2. Enter the Waiting Room and remain until the season officially concludes.
Awaiting your decision...]
And before anyone could say anything else, everything started changing into cards and being sucked into Little Mortal's infopad.
Even the citizens were included.
Little Mortal looked around blankly.
The newborns, the trap cards, and even the fruit juice in his hand that was given to him to calm his anger were gone now...
Each card had an empty space inside to contain the object it was meant to hold.
After releasing the object inside, the card itself would stay with the object until the owner retrieved it, or until the season event ends.
Little Mortal gritted his teeth and brought out the only thing that was visible and didn't transform into those 'space cards', his notebook, and wrote on an empty page,
[ First planet ( survival and hardship ) ?
Bullet used :
1 for the silly bounty hunter at the beginning
1 for the 5 special bounty hunters
1 for that stupid berserker who scared me
2 for that ugly monster who impersonated my adorable, chubby deputies
5 in total.
Total bullet = 1,000,000,000 - 5 = 999,999,995 ]
And then chose the first option in his infopad while encouraging himself,
"I can do this !"
Lilith and the invisible crystal,
<"-_-”>
Do you really need to count your bullets when you have 1 billion?
The next moment, a pillar of light descended from the sky on the coordinates of the infopad, and it disappeared shortly after.
The author's tale has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon.
When the pillar was gone, Little Mortal was gone too...
And exactly at this moment, Guardian Mortal officially became the 'secret guardian' of the First planet.
....
Planet Lubo.
Silver platform.
An Underworld gate opened, and a tiny Lilith came out.
From there, she opened a passage to an empty area and went there immediately.
Then she landed on the ground, opened her palm, and said,
"Here."
On her palm, a tiny Mortal opened his eyes, and then, after a pause, he opened his palm too and said something that couldn't be heard.
A card suddenly appeared, a lot bigger than tiny Lilith.
Lilith activated the card, and a big city came out, filled with confused people.
Then the tiny Mortal said something again that couldn't be heard, and the now-empty card shrank again.
Lilith immediately grabbed the tiny card and left while the tiny Mortal disappeared, as if his mission was over.
Not long after, Rose, who received a message from Lilith, appeared above the city.
"Greetings, everyone.
Welcome to planet Lubo !"
........
In the light pillar, the presumably 'elevator' that leads to the second planet, the tiny Lilith jumped out of Little Mortal's ear.
"Done."
And Little Mortal, without saying anything, took the empty card back, turned it to normal, and put it inside the black storage card.
This was what Little Mortal planned with Lilith beforehand to get rid of the living creatures that might die if they stayed with them.
Who knew how long he would be stuck here, and if they could survive inside the card or not?
The citizens were a mix of creatures of all ages and levels.
And all of them were brainwashed to think they are weak humans that need to eat for survival.
But sending them to planet Lubo secretly, while slightly risky, could solve this problem.
The guardian territory would easily erase the external effect on their brain, allowing them to return to normal soon after.
And Little Mortal, as a newborn who couldn't put others' lives in danger directly, didn't need to be worried anymore.
......
Second planet - Day 9.
The pillar of light disappeared.
The first thing Little Mortal felt was the warmth of sunshine on his skin.
This was a nice change after leaving that dark and rainy planet.
Looking around, he found himself in a vast flowery plain.
Small and colorful butterflies were flying everywhere.
The sky was clear, and the 'sun', which was probably fake, was hanging above his head.
From his previous travels to each of the 10 planets, he knew these planets weren't that big.
And each planet was bigger than the previous one.
Naturally, this second planet, while bigger than the first one, wasn't big enough to have a big sun like this.
So the sun was fake.
"Welcome, young hero!"
A voice sounded behind Little Mortal with a funny tone.
While curious, he turned around.
A small rabbit-like creature, completely pink, was now looking at him with its big black eyes, standing behind him.
Lilith, on Little Mortal's shoulder, chuckled.
"The voice of this little thing just carried a charm with it.
You are supposed to be charmed now, and listen to whatever it says."
The rabbit, who saw the change in Little Mortal's face, chuckled,
"Follow me, young hero!
It's time for you to serve my Queen and defend our kingdom against the Demon King, who promised to come and take away our princess when she turns 18!
Now hurry!
We don't have much time!
Only 481 days left to be prepared!"
The small rabbit, who explained the whole story of the new planet in one go, turned around to lead the way.
Little Mortal, under the 'charm' effect, was going to follow it, but his InfoPad gave him a notification.
[Participant Mortal, you were ranked 1 on the previous planet.
You are excluded from being charmed by the Queen, like any other rank 1 participant.]
The small rabbit flinched when it heard the notification, gasped when it saw the cold smile on Little Mortal's face,
and screamed when it was kicked towards the horizon.
Little Mortal read the season information and nodded,
"So they added 490 days 'cooldown' time here for participants on the First planet to have a chance and come here in time.
This way, they can finish the season on the first planet and join the main event on planet 2."
Understanding how the seasons work, he read the rest of the information,
"There is a Demon King's side.
And there is a Queen's side.
The two sides start a war 481 days later,
And we heroes, if charmed, should defend the Queen and her daughter, the princess, with our lives.
The rank 1 in contribution can even marry the princess, and live happily ever after?
What's with this lousy explanation?
I didn't get a proper system message on the first planet because I didn't have access to my InfoPad.
And even now that I have, because of this silly charm that applies to most participants from the start,
the system didn't even bother to leave a detailed explanation for others?
Is this a season that 99.9% of participants are supposed to act under the Queen's charm?"
Lilith chuckled,
"This season seems to be focused on 'Love', but a forced version.
That charm on the rabbit could even affect level 7 creatures..."
Little Mortal looked at the season-end reward for rank 1.
"A duplicate card is the reward for rank 1."
Then he looked at his *new* notifications.
"Oh, messaging is unlocked now.
You can send and receive messages to your newborn teammate.
And there is a shop too, which is basically filled with all kinds of cards and equipment.
You just need to pay for anything you want with your points.
But there are no special cards for sale...
Are they only selling special cards outside so the thieves don't steal a good one outside and come here to use it to their advantage and buy the rest with the points from here?"
Little Mortal scratched his head,
"Well, let's summon the wise elderly group.
They can explain the situation here in place of this useless system."
...
10 minutes later.
The 100 wise-elderly found themselves out again.
They were already sitting on chairs with food and drinks.
A familiar scene.
Except, the sky was clear, and the weather was like spring.
In front, a certain mayor was writing something on a whiteboard.
Seeing him busy, the group of elderly just silently enjoyed the warm weather and their drinks without making a sound.
On the whiteboard, after writing,
[Mortal the STRONGEST]
Little Mortal went to his seat and looked at the crowd silently.
Another 10 minutes passed in silence.
"Alright, now that you are done eating and drinking, let's start the meeting."
The crowd nodded.
Mr. Mayor was indeed serious, but disciplined.
"You, old sir.
What's my name?"
Little Mortal asked a random old man.
The old man glanced at the whiteboard and answered,
"Mortal, the strongest."
Little Mortal nodded and asked a random old lady,
"What's my relationship with the newborns working for me?"
The old lady answered immediately,
"Boss and employee."
Little Mortal nodded again and asked another random person,
"How many employees do I have?"
The elderly answered,
"More than 1.5 million."
Little Mortal asked the next question,
"Can you really call 1.5 million people employees?"
The elderly shook her head,
"It's more like an army, Mr. Mayor."
Little Mortal agreed,
"Correct.
But, my last name is...?"
And he pointed at another elderly, who answered,
"The strongest?"
Little Mortal slammed on the table,
"Exactly!
If I, Mortal, have the strongest as a last name,
What's missing in my army's name?"
This time, he asked the wise elderly number 1, who thought for a moment and answered,
"It's missing your last name as its first name.
It should be 'the strongest army', not only 'army'."
Little Mortal started clapping.
The group of elderly, who didn't know what he meant by asking these questions, started clapping too.
He was crazy anyway, so asking nonsense was normal.
Little Mortal went to the whiteboard again and wrote.
[Project, Rise of the Strongest Army.]
And said,
"Ladies and gentlemen, today is the day for newborns to rise in power!
Today, I invited you here to use your thousands of years of experience and figure out how we can achieve such a goal!"
Then he brought out his InfoPad and said,
"This is the point I have, this is 1.5 million newborns, and this is the shop.
I want you to assemble the strongest army for me, right here and right now!"
The group of elderly looked at him blankly.
Then they glanced at his 19-digit 'point', and didn't know what to think.
It didn't seem... impossible, or even a hard thing to do.
The old lady asked,
"H-how much can we spend?"
And Little Mortal snorted arrogantly,
"If you don't waste it, as much as you want."
Feeling excited, they immediately started discussing what to do.
"Let's see what season we are in.
Oh, it's the one that everyone is charmed at the start, except the rank 1 from the previous season."
"I remember a rank 1 changed sides because he was free to choose, and went to the Demon King's side.
But he got himself killed while fighting the Queen's side."
"Yeah, that Demon King and his 6 generals aren't that strong when it comes to fighting participants."
"Alright, let's focus on the job.
For having the strongest army, we need to first do something about our weaknesses."
"The higher being detector glasses are necessary then."
"That's too expensive though..."
"Really? You call that expensive with the amount of points we have?"
Little Mortal, who was listening by the side, asked,
"How many troops does this Demon King have?"
"It's always 2 times more than the number of participants.
From the ranking, we can tell there are around 500,000 participants.
So it should be 1 million.
But the thing is, there are lots of newborns on the participant's side.
So, even if the demon army is an army made of real living creatures, they can still block them."
Little Mortal stroked his chin,
"Can we replace the Demon guy with me, and go beat up that Queen?
I don't have time to wait for 481 days.
So while you are at it, plan for that too."
The wise-looking elderly said,
"There is a barrier between the two territories that can't be broken.
The only way to break it is to destroy 7 hidden seals on it.
But except for one seal, the rest are hidden."
Little Mortal chuckled and brought out his handgun.
The crowd shivered at first because they thought he was going to shoot them and test the 'limit' of the gun!
But soon, they remembered the newly added 'perk' on his handgun.
"Interesting!
So the previous planet actually hid the answer to how to break the barrier here?"
"If each season's reward is like this, then the duplicate card here might have a use on the third planet?"
"Or even higher planets!"
The crowd started adding more changes now that they needed to replace the Demon King and the demon army.
After a while, they came up with a 'soldier pack'.
Little Mortal read the list,
"- Citizen+participant detector, 1,000,000 points each.
Yes, this way you guys can start killing, too.
- Adaptive clothing + repair kit, 2,000,000 points each. (quality improves with the season)
This one is nice, I should get a bunch too.
- Adaptive handgun + bullet + knife + sword + shield, 5,000,000 points each (quality improves with the season)
No way!
I want a sword too!
- 1000x invulnerability card, 10,000,000,000 points each.
I want this too!"
The old lady who felt nervous that he might think they were wasting his money felt relaxed when she saw he didn't care and said,
"You don't need an invulnerability card, Mr. Mayor.
The last card is specially for you."
Little Mortal kept reading excitedly to see what the last card was,
"-Adoptive vehicle + repair kit 3,000,000 points each.
(Quality improves with the season)
-1000x invisibility card (1 hour per card) 1,000,000,000 points each (We can't be detected by others until the fifth planet)
Oh, I should get a pack too, I always dreamed of becoming invisible!"
Lilith and the Crystal, who knew this guy was actually invisible most of his life,
"..."
And then he saw the last card,
"- There is no king without a subject, there is no subject without a king card, 100,000,000,000 points each.
What's this?
Why is the name so long?"
The old lady smiled,
"This is a card matched with an invulnerability card.
If you have it, you are invulnerable against any attack for the total number of your subordinates' invulnerability cards.
If you get hit by an attack that can kill you, one of us loses one of our invulnerability cards instead.
And if a newborn runs out of invulnerability, they won't die, and will be sent back to your InfoPad inventory as a card instead."
Little Mortal gasped,
"With those 1000x invulnerability cards each of my soldiers has, it means I have 1,500,000,000 extra lives!
Why is such a thing even in the game?
That's ridiculous!"
Even the elderly group was speechless while assembling the soldier pack.
The old lady said,
"This should be something related to higher-level planets, and basically impossible to have on lower planets.
Every card in the shop is available for every participant in any season.
So in reality, with the total points of a maximum of 300,000, that anyone can gain on the first planet,
even buying an invulnerability card is impossible, let alone so many of them and a king card.
Even on higher planets, I don't think anyone has that many points to buy a 100 billion point king card and so many invulnerability cards for their underlings.
Or why would they stop buying newborns?
They could do the same thing as you.
But they can only buy a bunch of invulnerability cards at most."
Little Mortal nodded,
"Simply put, it's an 'exploit' that the system predicted, but because the possibility of it happening is close to zero, it ignored it.
But this thing can actually backfire if you are not strong enough and have many extra lives.
I remember back in hell- cough, I mean back in the day, I once ended up 'working' on an undying dude.
Let me tell you, that guy's 'not dying' ability backfired on him so bad that even after he confessed to all of his sins,
I still 'worked' on him for another 2 or 3 million years because of how fun it was...."
Little Mortal, after saying a random horror story about his 'job' and making the elderly group shiver just from imagining his days of torturing people in the underworld, sighed.
The sentimental feeling emitting from his 'sigh' was clearly saying,
'I missed those days, and especially that undying man...'
The crowd gulped down.
Cold sweat already covered their foreheads.
Lilith looked at her unknown 'employee', and even she felt a nonexistent illusion that could swallow her at any moment and make her believe his nonsense.
She immediately shook her head to come out of the illusion.
After a while, Little Mortal, who kept muttering creepy words to himself and made the elderly group keep sweating profusely, finally came back to his senses.
"Alright, let's forget about the good old days.
Let me see...
The total point for each soldier pack is around 12 billion.
We have 1.5m soldiers, which means 18 trillion in total."
And suddenly started clapping,
"Good job.
You guys barely scratched the surface of the total points I have.
Do you understand the difference between P2W and F2P now?
You F2P players can't even spend money if it's higher than a certain amount..."
And shook his head in disappointment.
The elderly group, who thought he was going to praise them, heard his mocking words and felt embarrassed.
"Alright.
The strongest army project has now started.
From now on, we need to plan for gathering our lost soldiers."
The old lady asked in confusion,
"Lost soldiers?"
Little Mortal rolled his eyes at her,
"The other newborns.
The once loyal soldiers of mine, who have been taken hostage by the sinners!
How can you guys forget about your comrades!"
And shook his head in disappointment again.
The group of the elderly was speechless.
This guy was a thug!
He called stolen cards a 'P2W' ability, and now he calls all of the newborns out there his 'lost soldiers'!
What a tyrant!
"Alright, let's talk about the problem with the thieves and the rank 1 participants from previous seasons.
I don't want to see anybody else except myself being excluded from the Queen's charm because in the future,
when my Demon King army comes, they might flee when they see its greatness."
One of the old men said,
"It's not that hard to find the rank 1 participants.
There are 3 of them still in this season, and you can find them by looking at the 'participant's history log'.
And because of their special condition, the Queen is keeping them close to her.
They are always like special guests in her place.
But if you want to deal with them, you should do it now before going after the Demon King.
You are not on any side now, and not registered in the ranking yet.
So you can enter the barrier around the Queen's city.
But if you become the Demon King, you can't enter the Queen's city anymore."
Little Mortal noted down what he said.
The old man told him about 'not registered yet' participants to tell him indirectly that others still don't know he was here.
Which means nobody receives his coordinates every hour because of the bounty on his head for now.
Understanding the meaning, Little Mortal asked,
"And what about the thieves?"
The crowd looked at each other in confusion,
"What thieves?"
Little Mortal showed the bounty on his head to them and said,
"You might not know.
But there is a group of people who know I'm too rich and want to rob me.
Can you believe it?
They even accused me of stealing!
Why would I do that when I can just buy whatever I want? Huh?
So immature..."
The crowd,
"..."
He is literally acting however he wants, and he doesn't care about what 'reality' is trying to say!
The wise-looking old man asked at this moment,
"Mr. Mayor, the only way that I can think of to know the identity of the 'bounty hunters' is their login time.
If you know when exactly they entered the planet, we can find them..
Do you have any idea when they joined the season? Was it with everybody else?"
Little Mortal pointed at the old man and said to the old lady,
"Double the salary of wise elderly number 2."
And said to the wise elderly number 2,
"No, they didn't enter at the beginning.
I'm pretty sure not only on this planet,
If there are more of them on other planets too, they all entered a couple of hours after everybody else."
The old man with double salary looked at his InfoPad and said,
"There is a group of 30 who entered at the end, all together, with a couple of hours' delay from the main group.
Their login time is close to that of the special bounty hunters from the previous planet, too.
So it should be them.
But from our previous encounter, they should be 'equipped' specifically for this season,
And there is a high possibility that they are immune to the Queen's charm, too."
Little Mortal looked at the list of names and pictures and asked,
"And how to find them?
Queen's City shouldn't be small."
The wise elderly number 2 chuckled,
"It's actually easy.
You can either wait until you choose your side, and when your name appears on the ranking,
They will naturally come after you.
Or if you want to eliminate them now,
You only need to add a 'citizen card' to the 'soldier pack'.
This way we can pretend to be citizens and search the City.
It shouldn't be hard for 1.5 million 'citizens' to find 30 people, right?"
Little Mortal frowned,
"Won't you be affected by the Queen's charm if you enter the city?"
The old man nodded,
"We will.
But it doesn't matter.
First, we aren't doing anything against the Queen's will, or even her heroes.
We are only looking for people.
And second,
When you take us with you to fight the Demon King's army to take his place, we are still doing what the Queen wants us to do.
The only thing you need to do as our boss after we are charmed is to pretend anything you do is for the Queen's benefit."
Little Mortal raised his eyebrows,
"And after I replace that demon dude,
I will be registered as him, and your Queen's 'charm' will break?"
The old man nodded,
"Correct.
And for your information,
The Demon King is the same as the Queen.
His charm can force you to fight for him.
So the Queen's charm will be replaced with the Demon King's charm."
Little Mortal stroked his chin,
"Let me guess, if I become one of the Queen's heroes,
There will be a barrier around the Demon King's territory?"
The old man confirmed his guess,
"Yes, that's why nobody goes after him until the day the princess becomes 18 years old and both barriers disappear.
But the same seal should be there too, and you can break it anyway."
Little Mortal then asked about the Demon King's territory and its location.
And the old man said,
"Just release a newborn affected by the Queen's charm, and he or she can sense the direction.
Those affected by the Queen's charm know where the Demon King is."
After the final coordination, Little Mortal retrieved the elderly group and rode his motorcycle in the direction that the small rabbit was going to take him.
On his way, he brought out his InfoPad and started buying the 'soldier pack'.
Because he couldn't buy more than 100 at a time,
He needed to start buying now.
There were millions of newborns in his 'army'.
Time passed like this.
Because the road was only a straight path with a flowery plain on both sides, it didn't take long before Little Mortal felt sleepy.
And after around an hour of buying 'soldier packs' and riding his motorcycle....
"Zzz..."
He fell asleep.
Only his finger was tapping on the InfoPad without stopping.
Lilith, who saw him fall asleep, looked at the InfoPad and shrugged.
It didn't really matter how many points he spent.
The total number was so high, and because their plan was to rescue all of the newborns, he needed more of these soldier packs anyway.
Another hour passed.
Even Lilith felt sleepy.
And she knew the reason for that.
It was because her partner was affecting her.
He was always like this.
He had an effect on the world around him because of his overwhelming power, which everyone always ignored due to his invisible presence.
Only when it was already too late, like now, would they know....
"Zzzz..."
And so, Lilith fell asleep too, and so did the Crystal and notebook, which wasn't a new experience for them.
Anytime Little Mortal slept somewhere close to other birth treasures, they would all turn off if they were close to him.
"Zzzz..." x4
