Chapter 517: Enemies of the World

After Karoso said this, the people became tense immediately.

They did not expect that a large group coming to hunt one person would be scared by that one person.

Mainly because Karoso really killed one, which made them feel alert.

"Withdraw!" Joseph decisively said. "He is a cultist. If we keep fighting, we will definitely suffer!"

He did not dare to engage Karoso in battle any longer since there was no news from reinforcements.

Karoso’s magic power and fighting strength were clearly not ordinary.

No wonder he is so strong and progresses so quickly; he believes in an evil god and is a follower of the Lord of Eternity.

Seeing six people flying in the same direction, without daring to spread out, Karoso couldn’t help but place his sword on his shoulder.

He looked down and felt a bit helpless.

There, the highest level magic circle in the entire city had been activated, and many Card Makers poked their heads out of their houses, secretly watching him and discussing among themselves.

"Who is that…? So powerful."

"Evil god, evil god’s follower, quickly call the church to handle this!"

"This is too frightening."

"How can he use every ability?"

"I saw his news in a report; isn’t this Karoso Colloa? He is also a Card Maker."

"Can the Card Maker fight? Don’t joke with me."

Karoso ignored that and stepped over the magic circle, coming back to Null.

Seeing that Null was already caught by 『』, Karoso quickly said, "At least he’s your brother, how can you treat him like this?"

Only then did 『』 let go.

It was better when 『』 didn’t let go, but as soon as 『』 did, Null became even angrier.

My sister doesn’t listen to me, but listens to a stranger like you?

Null suddenly felt a bit tired at heart.

He helplessly waved his hand, "A girl grows up and leaves… sigh…"

Null’s expression was a bit lonely.

"Brother, it’s not what you think. I just… don’t want to cause him trouble." 『』 hurriedly said, "I just want to help him."

"No need to say more, you all should leave." Null silently walked into the house, "『』, if you still want to live, stay with me! Do you know what he just did?"

"They want to kill Karoso, but Karoso is only fighting back normally." 『』 defended Karoso, "You can’t just stand there and let them hit you."

"His power… can it really be the strongest in the world?" Null turned his head and looked at 『』, his gaze a bit complicated, "He is like a bomb right now, ready to explode at any moment."

"He, like me, broke the law of the ninth level that says we cannot fight. I’m different; I didn’t cause any harm when I acted, and I have no personal stake, so I’m fine. But Karoso? He killed someone at the ninth level!"

"The major churches, the United Nations, combined together, what power does he have to fight against them?"

"Rules are not so easy to break."

"If you go with him, you might die by his side!"

"I just want to rewrite the rules." Karoso took a deep breath, "I don’t think I am wrong."

"Are you sure?" Null’s expression looked a bit strange. "Change the rules so that all ninth-tier can act normally? Do you know how many lives would be lost if these ninth-tier warriors joined the war?"

"That’s not what I want," Karoso said softly. "What I want is for those above the seventh-tier to not take action."

"If I want to negotiate, I must show strength; otherwise, they will not listen to me."

"If those above the seventh-tier can’t take action…" Null’s gaze narrowed. "Then what are these people for?"

"We could use their skills in other areas, like dealing with dungeons, exploring forbidden places like Forbidden Sea and White Desert, developing technology, planting trees, treating the sick, or hunting magical beasts. There is a great need for their talents in those areas. But instead, they are all sent to the battlefield." Karoso sat down. "If we put these people in factories, can you imagine their productivity? If they work for four hours, they can achieve more than ordinary people working for eighteen hours. If they can conduct proper research, imagine how technology would soar! Perhaps, in the future, we wouldn’t even need magic."

"Countries prefer to send them to fight rather than let them do useful jobs for the people, relying instead on squeezing the little labor that the civilians can offer."

"In Presea, a civilian becomes worthless at thirty-five and then dies."

"They eat the worst food every day and do the hardest work, with no hope for a better future. The powerful Professionals could save many lives and support more people with just a little effort, even if they earn the salary of many people, but they refuse. They only want to wallow in stagnation, endlessly prepare for war, and receive high salaries without doing anything, becoming parasites of the state."

"War? It is still far away; they will enjoy their comfort for as long as they can."

"Don’t you really think this is very ridiculous?"

"This world is sick, and I am trying to heal it."

"Do you know how powerful an eighth-tier can be? Ignoring things like Exorcist Bullets, an eighth-tier can match a normal Mechanic!"

"How many people die at the hands of seventh-tier or eighth-tier each year?"

"The sixth-tier is different; normal technology can handle it. But when it comes to the seventh-tier, after touching the laws, it becomes too much for ordinary people to face, yet they are still active on the battlefield."

"If high-level Exorcist Bullets were used for everyday life, how many machines could be created? How many factories could be built? It could at least make ordinary people’s lives better."

"If all countries could be more rational for a while and not drain their own nations or exploit their people to the limit for war preparations, wouldn’t the world be a better place?"

"I agree with your idea, but do you know how hard this is? It can be said that this is a task that is impossible to complete!" Null gave Karoso a deep look.

If Karoso truly holds this idea and dares to take action, then Null has to admire that.

This is the main character’s realization that, whether it is Null or 『』, they accepted Merlin’s ideas and fought alongside her.

What Karoso wants to do is quite similar to Merlin, but the power of Merlin in the game is not as strong as that of the current Karoso, and Merlin cannot be as aggressive as Karoso.

Karoso reached level nine six years early, while many people in this world have not had the chance to break through, and several opportunities were taken by Karoso.

In the words of players, Karoso is truly the most powerful figure in this version.

"At least I am daring to try. Now Canglang Province has cut off contact with me, and I am also out of touch with the revolutionary army," Karoso said. "This is my personal battle against the world’s powerful ones."

Null did not expect that Karoso could be this bold.

Is he really going to fight against the world’s strong ones for the sake of the common people who seem unimportant to some nobles?
