Rename It the Brotherhood

"That's enough, Ren. This time it's a draw, but next time might be different."

As soon as the words were spoken, a huge magic circle appeared beneath everyone's feet, and at the same time, mist enveloped them.

But just then...

Cao Cao and the others saw that Ren was striking a handsome yet strange pose.

Immediately afterwards, a bad feeling welled up in my heart.

"Hurry, Georg!"

--Ride Kick!

With his feet together, Ren leaped high into the air, tracing an arc as he flew like a falling meteor towards the direction shrouded in thick fog.

Apart from Cao Cao, everyone else looked terrified.

Although they had never seen such a move before, they were intimidated by the aura that Ren displayed, and some of the more timid ones even saw their great-grandmother.

Georg also increased the magical input into the Fog of Absolute Mist.

Before anyone else could react, everyone except Jeanne Hero Faction teleported away.

The Rider Kick continued with undiminished force, causing Ren to slam his entire body into the ground.

Boom--!

The terrifying impact shook the entire space at the instant the kick struck the ground. An invisible shockwave swept in all directions, the earth churned like ocean waves, and countless buildings collapsed one after another. Except for a few people who still had some strength left, everyone else was easily blown away.

Under this terrifying power, the alternate dimension created by Georg shattered with a deafening roar, and Suzaku Himejima and the others fell back into reality as the scenery before their eyes rapidly changed.

It was several minutes later when they finally realized what had happened.

On the other side, although the Hero Faction had escaped, Ren did not give chase.

It's not that I can't win her over, it's that there's no need.

Firstly, he has no grudge against the Hero Faction, so there's no need for him to fight to the death. Secondly, the existence of the Hero Faction can trigger some new missions for him in the future.

There's no reason for Ren to turn down a reward.

As for Cao Cao's claim of a draw, Ren simply gave him the middle finger at the end.

He beat them up like that and they still call it a draw? They have no shame!

[Mission: "Rescue Yasaka" has been completed]

[Objective: Prevent the experiment from proceeding and ensure Yasaka's safety]

[Rewards: Himejima Family Reputation +20, Suzaku Himejima Affection +20, World Trumpet *3]

Um?

What is this thing?

[Item (World Trumpet): Ignores all factors such as space, distance, and seals to broadcast a custom message to the entire world.]

[Note: Limit to 15 characters]

"All you can do is send messages? What good is that?"

This item reminded Ren of some online games he had played before he transmigrated.

Many people frequently use this thing to send various messages in the public chat.

Some were asking for materials, others for team-ups, and still others were exchanging insults online. Of course, there were also quite a few people asking for and giving resources.

However, after the official intervention, no more heroes appeared.

Having no immediate use for it, Ren stored the World Trumpet in his storage space.

With the retreat of the Hero Faction, Kyoto returned to peace.

However, everyone was still reeling from Ren's final kick and couldn't snap out of it for a long time.

With just a single strike, the space that had been copied from Kyoto was completely destroyed.

If he had been aiming at real land in Kyoto, the consequences would have been unimaginable!

They all stood there, stunned.

I thought the Hero Faction would take control of the battle and were prepared to die, but things happened so suddenly that I'm still in a daze.

Chapter 226 Renamed the Brotherhood

Chapter 226

At that moment, footsteps echoed across the silent square.

The gazes of the allied forces of the Five Great Houses instantly converged on that direction, their eyes filled with curiosity, awe, and shock.

Just then, the sky cleared up because of the Nine-Tails' awakening, the dense dark clouds quickly dissipated, and the silvery moonlight shone on Ren, who was wearing a trench coat, illuminating half of his profile. The dark clouds retreated as he moved forward, and the moonlight spread because of his presence.

This coincidental appearance immediately elicited a series of gasps.

This scene was like a brand, deeply engraved in everyone's hearts. They knew that they would probably never forget this scene for the rest of their lives.

"Ren."

So his name was Ren?

People kept his name in their hearts, especially the elites of the Five Great Houses.

Witnessing Ren completely suppress Cao Cao and finishing him off with that final kick, he felt the enormous gap between himself and Luo De.

They once dominated Kyoto, but the arrival of the Hero Faction dealt them a heavy blow.

The phrase "a frog in a well" perfectly describes them.

They simply couldn't understand why neither the previous attacks by the Void Cicada Organization, nor the combined forces of the Witch's Night and the Fallen Angels, nor the monsters, had brought them such immense pressure. Yet, in just a few months, their elite troops, who had already experienced a major battle, had suffered such a crushing defeat.

It's worth noting that this time the scale of the Hero Faction is much smaller than the last one.

If Ren knew what they were thinking, he would definitely just say, "Numerical inflation is normal."

Kyoto is already several generations behind.

It's obviously not feasible to keep up with the main server's version updates and try to reinvent the wheel.

It's like how the maximum level in Kyoto is 50, while the mainstream version has already been updated to 100.

"I never expected that Cao Cao and his men would escape this time."

Jeanne felt some regret.

"If I can keep them here, maybe I can persuade them."

"Don't overthink it. Cao Cao isn't someone who's easily persuaded, but others are a different story."

Ren was still waiting for the next mission to appear on them.

"Oh, right, there's one more thing. When did you create the New Hero Faction?"

"Just now."

"That's what Ren said."

"Jeanne, would you like to join the Hero Faction I've formed and fight together for a better tomorrow?"

Faced with Ren's sudden invitation, Jeanne was momentarily stunned, but immediately nodded in delight.

"Okay, okay!"

Jeanne had long followed Ren's lead, and now that he wanted to form a true Hero Faction, Jeanne was willing to join even if it meant paying him.

"Very good, from now on you are a veteran of our team."

Ren patted the girl's shoulder very solemnly, showing her his deep respect.

"But will our team still be called Hero Faction from now on?"

Jeanne asked.

After all, the name "Hero Faction" is already infamous. During this period, they have been attacking various mythological forces, making them truly hated by everyone.

Ren thought about it and agreed, saying, "In that case, let's rename Brotherhood."

"Brotherhood? What does that mean?"

Jeanne was somewhat bewildered.

Ren said, "The Brotherhood, as the name suggests, consists of brothers who join the guild!"

Upon hearing this, Jeanne wore an expression reminiscent of an elderly person using a cell phone on the subway.

Why not call it a sorority?

However, she didn't deny that Ren was bad at naming things; after all, names weren't important, what mattered was the organization's philosophy.

Compared to the Hero Faction who cause trouble everywhere, the Brotherhood clearly more approachable.

Thinking of this, Ren suddenly reached out and beckoned to Suzaku Himejima, who was not far away.

"Vermilion Bird, would you like to join our Brotherhood?"

Upon hearing this, Suzaku Himejima was speechless at the name.

However, after thinking for a while, she shook her head. "I am the successor head of the Himejima Family, and I cannot join other organizations casually."

"Our Brotherhood doesn't look at backgrounds when recruiting; we welcome anyone to join, so if you change your mind later, you can always come find me."

Seeing that she refused, Ren didn't seem to mind.

Anyway, the Brotherhood just something he dabbled in.

Suzaku Himejima nodded.

However, Samejima Tsunao was not far away, was somewhat tempted.

After all, he had already witnessed Ren's strength, so even though the Brotherhood only just been established, its future looked very bright. Wouldn't joining now make him a founding member?

Upon hearing this, Ren turned around and looked him up and down, saying, "I'm sorry, our guild is not accepting male members at the moment."

"?"

Upon hearing this, Samejima Tsunao a little confused.

What happened to the rule that anyone could join?!

And isn't this supposed to Brotherhood? What's the point of only accepting girls as members?

Ignoring the complicated looks from the others, Ren said to Minagawa Natsume and the others, "If you'd like to join, you can go and register with Jeanne. The positions of elders are first-come, first-served."

Upon hearing this, Minagawa Natsume, whose forehead was still throbbing from the flick by Ren earlier, retorted irritably, "If you change the Brotherhood a sorority, I'll join right now."

However, Ren immediately rejected the idea after hearing it. "That won't do. Our guild doesn't practice gender antagonism."

Upon hearing what Ren said, Minagawa Natsume was completely dumbfounded.

What do you mean by "don't create gender antagonism"? She's not a feminist!

What's more, you just rejected Samejima Tsunao's application, saying you only accept girls. Isn't that gender discrimination?!

However, Ren ultimately stated that he had the final say, Minagawa Natsume speechless.

"I think it's great."

Minagawa Natsume heard Nanataki Shiguko's laughter and mutterings beside her, and a look of surprise appeared on her face.

"Shikuko, you wouldn't happen to be...?"

"Whee."

"..."

After that, Suzaku Himejima ordered his subordinates to report the information to the main family, and at the same time ordered people to repair the damaged buildings in Kyoto.

The other four major families followed suit.

Then Suzaku Himejima came to Ren and thanked him.

"We are truly grateful for Mr. Ren's assistance this time; otherwise, our Five Great Houses would have had a very difficult time escaping from the hands of the Hero Faction today."

"Generally."
