Ebony Throat didn't waste any more words and put away the report documents.

He then bowed and said, "Lord Thanos, I have something to say, but I don't know if I should."

"Speak," Thanos gestured for Ebony Maw to speak.

"I've received intelligence that Stark Games may be more than just a game; it may have other special functions."

"Some people have suggested that playing Stark games can enhance their physical abilities in real life, and some players have even reported awakening strange powers."

“Then…” Ebony Maw paused, “why don’t we give it a try? This would increase our army by more than just a little bit.”

"No need," Thanos immediately rejected. "I have my own decision on this matter, there's no need to say more."

Seeing Thanos's bad expression, Ebony Maw didn't continue speaking, after all, how much could enhancing one's aptitude really improve?

Could a weak Earthling really kill an alien soldier? What a joke.

Thanos sighed helplessly after Ebony Maw left the house.

He had considered using games to strengthen the army.

but...

"The servers are on Earth, and now the Nova Corps is almost forming a pro-Earth faction, planning to learn Earth's entertainment culture."

"If the military were to use..."

Thanos dared not think any further.

1. I was playing a Sans simulator and Sans beat me so badly I couldn't even find my way back.

2. Does anyone know what device displays heart rate in that game? I'm thinking of getting one.

3. Goodnight everyone.

Latest Announcement: Apology Regarding the New Book

Regarding the previously released new book, I did have some ideas about writing original pieces to practice and attract some readers here.

However, I did overestimate my abilities. After going through divination, dice, and coins, I made a difficult decision.

The new book will be announced without affecting others.

I will update this book first, because I have to go to work tomorrow, so the update time will still be in the evening.

However, since two readers each cast 4 monthly votes for the new book, to express our apologies, each monthly vote will be considered as one chapter that is owed.

I apologize for this.

Chapter 75 Defeat

"Hey Tony. Need some help from the sidelines?" Seeing that Tony hadn't dealt with the headless rider yet, the husky on the sidelines started making sarcastic remarks.

"Shut up, just keep an eye on the husky." Tony pouted unhappily.

"He said you're a husky, Steve." Thor looked at Captain America with a goofy grin.

Captain America looked at him with an elegant yet polite expression, as if he were looking at a child who had dropped out of school.

The headless horseman regrouped. Although he couldn't defeat him with this level of skill, it made him take the situation much more seriously.

"With just this alchemical creation, an ordinary person who can't even be called a warrior can actually fight me." The headless knight nodded silently.

"Very good. Who are you?"

"Me? I'm Iron Man Tony Stark, the coolest superhero in New York." Tony struck a pose with an air of swagger.

The next moment, the head held in the headless knight's arms stared wide-eyed.

"You are a worthy enemy, but alchemical creations alone cannot defeat me. Take this!"

A black flame ignited in the headless horseman's hand, and he pointed his burning gauntlet at Tony.

"I hereby give you a death sentence; I will kill you within three days."

Black energy flames shot out instantly, and Tony had no time to dodge, taking the hit head-on.

"Ugh!" Tony groaned, and his mech half-knelt on the ground.

"What? Tony, are you alright?" Thor couldn't stand still when he saw this strange situation and rushed forward to support Tony.

Steve quickly raised his shield to block in front of him.

This brainless guy is actually quite something.

“I don’t know…” Tony shook his slightly dizzy head. Jarvis had been issuing an unknown energy alert.

The attack just now was probably some kind of energy attack, but it didn't cause any direct damage.

"That's a death curse. If it's not lifted, you'll die in three days."

He then pointed to Fu You beside him: "If you come with me, I will lift his curse. I hope you will consider it."

The organization had told him that gaining the strength of a few people was only a secondary task.

The deal would be complete once he brought that fierce woman to the organization's headquarters. At that point, the organization would tell him about the newbie village, Shenguang, and send him back.

"Choose."

The male protagonist is cursed, and the female protagonist is forced to go with the villain in order not to see him die.

Ah, what a classic romance drama plot!

But I refused.

"I'm not the female lead in a romance drama, why should I choose?" Fu You glanced at the headless knight and took out the sealing stone.

"I choose to kill you."

【Goddess Moment】

Aqua's sealing stone was activated, and the power of the water goddess Aqua was bestowed upon Fu You.

Feathered Robe appeared, and Fu You's attire became exactly the same as Aqua's.

"This is... the High Priest? I didn't expect there to be a High Priest here." The headless knight recognized Fu You's current class after his transformation and suddenly became curious.

However, he wasn't worried. What could a mere high priest possibly do to purify him?

Although it is the highest-level profession, if a high priest could purify himself, he would eat his two-handed greatsword on the spot.

Fu You looked at the headless knight who seemed completely unconcerned, and cast a purification spell on him.

The magic circle formed beneath the headless knight's feet, radiating light.

"It looks great, but it needs to purify me... Aaaaaah!"

Before the headless knight could finish speaking, he was struck by a beam of light that shot into the sky and screamed in agony.

"It hurts so much! It hurts so much! It hurts so much!" The headless knight rolled around on the ground, clearly indicating that the purification spell had caused a great deal of damage.

Aqua, who specializes in attacking undead, can inflict terrifying and direct damage on undead and demons with her Purification spell.

"Whoosh... such terrifying holy light, but a curse..."

Fu You looked at the headless knight with the eyes of someone looking at an idiot: "Holy dispel."

A beam of light bathed Tony, and the black energy instantly dissipated.

At the same time, the headless horseman also sensed that the curse had been lifted.

The headless knight was completely dumbfounded. Could a person be this utterly cowardly? That was my sure-kill move, and it's gone?

"Hiss... Excuse me, farewell." The headless knight turned and ran away.

Fu You was taken aback; this move seemed so familiar.

In her mind, the Headless Horseman was a chivalrous knight who would never do something like Joseph Joestar, so she wasn't on guard at all.

The headless knight ran away without looking back; he certainly wouldn't have done something so unbecoming of a knight in the past.

But since we've already passed the Transparent Amazon training, what's there to be afraid of?

Nigelu da yo!

"Holy crap, don't run away!" Fu You quickly summoned his Heavy Bunny, which transformed into a motorcycle, and gave chase.

……

"He actually got away!" Fu You slammed his fist on the table in anger.

Although the rabbit motorcycle is the fastest in Yae Village, it is very fast, but the headless rider somehow escaped and couldn't be found.

"How did that girl run so fast? She disappeared in the blink of an eye." Fu You gritted her teeth. She had originally wanted to grab her and ask the organization what was going on and why they specifically wanted her.

But there was no other way; I had to go back and rejoin Tony and the others.

In an abandoned warehouse area:

A portal opened, and the headless knight stepped out.

He quickly looked around and, finding no one chasing him, breathed a sigh of relief.

This is a life-saving item I gave him before he set off; it's a magic stone that can teleport him randomly over long distances.

He took out a communicator and connected to the call.

The screen on the phone displayed three members of the Cutting Organization's council.

"I think I need support. The target you chose has a completely counter-ability to me," the headless knight told the person on the other end of the communicator, describing the battle situation.

"I see, the power of the water goddess Aqua? It is indeed very restrained." The tall figure on the other end of the communication nodded.

"To possess so many of these rare sealing stones, and to have them happen to counter something so powerful, is truly a lucky guy," the chubby figure remarked.

"That's why we're looking for her."

"Then I'll send someone over to meet you later."

Suddenly another voice came: "No need."

The conference room door was pushed open, and a person wearing armor walked in.

Unlike the headless horseman's black, angular armor, the newcomer's armor was as unremarkable as an exhibit in a street display case.

However, the arrival of this person caused everyone present to fall silent.

"What brings people from the 'Gray Zone' to the council?" the tall figure asked.

The armored man was completely unconcerned about the hostility of the people present.

"I've come to deliver something to you, something bestowed by the King."

As he spoke, the armored man took something out of his pocket and tossed it to him.

The tall figure accepted it.

It was a black sealing stone.

1. As for the new book, it's currently on hiatus. However, to let those who say they can't pay their debts, I'm announcing that this book will resume daily updates.

2. I plan to focus on updating this book for now, and then I'll save up manuscripts for a new book. Once I have enough for this one, I can start the next one.

3. (See attached image) It looks like the COVID-19 situation in Japan is really serious.

Chapter 76 Peace Fleet

"You mean the headless knights of the Demon King's army have come to this world?" Darkness looked at Fu You in surprise.

Fu You nodded: "Yes, it was the headless knight, a cadre of the Demon King's army in your world. We fought him briefly and he got away."

"That's the Demon King's army leader, worth 300 million. Did you suddenly win?"
