Chapter 225

Rikos words finally made Fang Li understand why she was so determined to defeat Aria and prove that she could surpa.s.s her great-grandfather.

Just as Riko herself said, it was all for the sake of freedom.

However, there is often a dark side to the plight of the unfortunate.

No matter how you look at it, Riko was a Butei a.s.sa.s.sin who, up to now, hadnt been aware of how many exceptional Butei she might have killed. This, of course, remains a crime.

After all, this world wasnt like the first two Dungeon Worlds Fang Li had experienced, where external threats led to the breakdown of order.

Even though this world had numerous Superhumans working behind the scenes, the law was still effective.

Fang Li wasnt exactly a Saint either. In the previous two worlds, he had also killed many people, his hands stained with blood. His skills and abilities were, in a way, meant for killing.

However, this didnt mean Fang Li believed he was exempt from consequences.

In fact, throughout the history of the Main G.o.ds Dimension, countless Main Divine Envoys failed to adapt to the differences between worlds, remaining trapped in their previous environments. This ultimately led to their own downfall.

Just like Fang Li, if he were to behave in this world as he had in the first two, killing indiscriminately, the result would undoubtedly be a joint effort by the Superhumans who exist to maintain this worlds order to hunt him down. Hed end up dead beyond doubt.

Therefore, the approach one takes must vary depending on the circ.u.mstances.

While Fang Li was quite to do as one pleases, that didnt mean he lacked intelligence. He knew very well what methods would lead to better survival and benefit in this world.

To quote a phrase from the Main G.o.ds Dimension, the nature of Main Divine Envoys is actually quite simple: We are travelers, but not above all.

Consequently, believing that familiarity with the Dungeon Worlds every aspect allows for unfettered action would undoubtedly lead to an unfavorable outcome.

In this context, Riko must naturally pay the price for her actions.

Perhaps sensing Fang Lis thoughts, Riko turned her head, locking eyes with Fang Li, and said, I havent killed anyone. The term Butei a.s.sa.s.sin is a misconception.

Upon hearing this, Fang Li lifted his head and looked at Riko, his expression one of astonishment.

You havent killed anyone?

This cant be right, can it?

Almost all the records of exceptional Butei who disappeared due to the Butei a.s.sa.s.sins were available, and the news reported it, didnt it?

At this point, a thought suddenly flashed through Fang Lis mind, and he muttered,

I-U.

Riko clearly heard Fang Lis words.

Impressive, as expected of you to guess so quickly, Riko sighed and continued, Do you know what kind of organization I-U is?

Ive heard Aria mention it briefly, Fang Li replied, Its supposedly a terrifying organization that even major countries fear, right?

Thats not entirely accurate, Riko shook her head as she said. It is true that I-U has many unruly individuals, but at the start, it was simply a training inst.i.tution.

During the Second World War, it was created by j.a.pan and Germany, the Axis powers, to train Superhumans in their mission for victory, Rikos voice unconsciously lowered as she spoke, it was as if she were speaking of something taboo. It was originally a Superhuman legion. However, when the Axis powers were defeated at the end of WWII, the surviving members used their submarines to escape. They followed their unique ideals and transformed I-U into an inst.i.tution focused on nurturing talents.

Within I-U, everyone exchanges their unique skills, sharing abilities with each other to enhance their own power. Through this approach, generations of Superhumans were trained. Thats why I joined I-U, Riko looked at Fang Li and continued, Everyone in I-U hopes to see more Superhumans join in, to share their abilities.

However, under such circ.u.mstances, I-U grew increasingly powerful and, due to its detachment from national restrictions, became more and more unruly.

As a result, to elevate themselves and the organization, I-U started recruiting exceptional talents, even individuals with judicial connections like Butei. As long as they possessed special powers, they were targeted for recruitment. Since Butei wouldnt easily join a lawless organization, they had to resort to abduction to win them over. Only when things went wrong would they resort to murder to cover their tracks.

In other words, all those Butei who were believed to have been killed by Butei a.s.sa.s.sins in the past were actually not dead; Riko had kidnapped them and brought them into I-U.

No wonder major countries fear this organization, Fang Li said with a sense of understanding. If its an organization that disregards the line between right and wrong, ready to recruit anyone just for self-improvement, and all its members are formidable ent.i.ties beyond human, then its no wonder.

Thats why I joined I-U, Riko lowered her head and said softly. If I were in an organization like this, learning various superhuman skills, I would definitely be able to defeat Vlad.

Unfortunately, Vlad had also joined I-U and became the second-in-command. As Riko honed her skills, this Vampire was also absorbing the genes of extraordinary individuals within the organization, enhancing his own power.

But now, youve defeated Vlad, Riko looked at Fang Li with a complex gaze.

From now on, Vlad wont appear in my life again.

In other words, Riko had finally gained her freedom.

It can only be said that Vlad had incredibly bad luck. Who else would he provoke but Fang Li? With the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, Fang Li was the greatest nemesis to this Vampire.

Just then, Riko suddenly looked at Fang Li with a serious expression and said, Actually, it wasnt just me this time. Within I-U, other individuals were also mobilized to kidnap renowned Superhumans, specifically targeting moments when you were away from the target.

This sentence triggered an ominous feeling in Fang Lis heart.

Rikos subsequent words confirmed Fang Lis ominous premonition.

Their target was the top student of the Butei Super-Ability Investigation Research Division.
