Algol shrieked and lunged again, but it was no use. Tohru and Illulu were equally formidable in close combat.
As Dragons—their raw power was immense, even Algol couldn't gain an advantage.
However, their battle wouldn't reach a conclusion. Saeko wasn't bound by the convention of defeating the summoned being before attacking the summoner.
She wouldn't keep Roy waiting.
A flash of violet light sliced through the night sky, and Saeko appeared behind Laius.
Her sword returned to its sheath.
Thwack!
Before Laius could even utter a plea for mercy, he was slain.
Simultaneously, Algol reverted to her skull necklace form.
Roy reached out, and the necklace flew into his hand.
He was quite interested in the artifact. Perhaps he could restore Algol to her former glory.
Then, using an Evil Piece to form a contract with her would be a significant boost to his power.
"I declare No Name the victor of this Gift Game!" Shiroyasha appeared, announcing the result.
No one was surprised. With Roy leading them—victory was a foregone conclusion.
"Black Rabbit, go and collect our winnings from Laius's Community," Roy instructed.
"Okay." Black Rabbit nodded, ready to carry out her duties.
"Roy, you shouldn't have killed him," Shiroyasha said suddenly.
Roy waved his hand dismissively. "Doesn't matter. I already said, if the Greek Pantheon wants trouble, I'll be happy to oblige."
"Fine." Shiroyasha sighed. There was no point arguing now. She realized that Roy was also a Problem Child—a fearless one at that.
———
This had been a Gift Game with everything on the line. There was never any possibility of a peaceful resolution.
With the Gift Game concluded, they returned to the Arcadia Headquarters.
This Gift Game had been public, and they had killed a member of the Greek Pantheon. The news would undoubtedly spread throughout Little Garden.
The Greek Pantheon would likely retaliate openly.
And those who had destroyed Arcadia—the Ouroboros Alliance, wouldn't stand idly by and watch No Name rise again.
Roy had anticipated these potential problems, but he wasn't concerned.
He just needed to wait for Shiroyasha to reclaim her Divinity. Then—he could breakthrough to Solaric-level.
Combined with the [Simulated Star Creation Map] he now possessed, he would be among the strongest even at the Solaric-level.
With Shiroyasha's help, they could dominate Little Garden.
The Twin Goddesses—the Halloween Queen—and all the others would bow before him.
All of Little Garden would be under his control!
Of course, this was just a future possibility. For now, after defeating Perseus, no one would challenge No Name for a while.
———
This was a period of rapid development for No Name.
Black Rabbit was incredibly busy every day, thankfully assisted by Canaria. Otherwise, she would be overwhelmed.
Roy, meanwhile, settled into a leisurely routine, teasing Shirayuki-hime and the other girls.
He was also waiting for Shiroyasha to reclaim her Divinity, a crucial step, but not something that could be rushed.
He patiently bided his time.
In his free time, he brought more people over from the [High School DxD] world and [Danmachi], focusing on developing No Name.
He needed more members.
"I'm so bored!" Roy sighed dramatically, lounging on Shirayuki-hime's lap, enjoying the fruit she peeled for him—occasionally teasing her.

He was hoping the Greek Pantheon or the Ouroboros Alliance would provide some entertainment—but neither side had made a move yet.
"Roy, if you're bored, you could participate in the Gift Games held throughout Little Garden. Many of them are quite interesting," Canaria, finally free from her duties, said with a chuckle as she sipped her tea.
"Interesting? I find them boring."
Over the past few days, Roy had explored Little Garden City with the others.
Many areas used Gift Games for events and entertainment, offering rewards to attract participants and boost popularity.
Gift Games were integrated into every aspect of their lives.
Of course, not everyone had the authority to host Gift Games.
Those without the authority would invite someone like Black Rabbit, who could communicate with the Host Master, to assist them.
However, most Gift Games were too simple for Roy and the others.
Hence, his boredom.
"Perhaps I should visit another world. There are still so many I haven't been to yet," Roy mused.
With that thought, he checked the System's world-travel function.
———
Over time, the number of accessible worlds in the System had increased significantly.
Among them were worlds Roy was familiar with: [Overlord], [Re:Zero], [Date A Live], [One-Punch Man], [Sword Art Online]—and more.
There were simply too many worlds to choose from, including some he hadn't even heard of.
He stroked Shirayuki-hime's thigh thoughtfully, pondering his options.
"One Punch Man World it is!"
After some consideration, he chose the One-Punch Man world—It was one of his favorites.
Having made his decision, he didn't tell anyone. After all, he'd be back in an instant.
He made an excuse and left the living room, returning to his room to activate the System's world-travel function.
In the next moment, he vanished from Little Garden.
———
One Punch Man World.
Roy reappeared on an unfamiliar street.
"Ahhh~~ There's a monster, run!"
"So scary! Run away!"
"Honey, save me!"
Roy found the street in chaos. People seemed to be fleeing from something.
"A monster, you say? Interesting."
Observing the panicked crowd, Roy quickly understood the situation.
He headed towards the source of the commotion.
He soon found the monster—a grotesque, tentacled creature.
"Hee hee~~ Pretty ladies, don't run! I'll give you pleasure!" The tentacle monster chased after the fleeing women.
The women screamed in terror.
Roy's eye twitched. What a bizarre monster. He was curious about its origins.
"Hey! You have interesting taste. How did you even become a monster?" Roy stepped in front of the monster and asked.
The tentacle monster was annoyed at being interrupted, but it was happy to answer his question.
"I was watching a movie when the power went out. My resentment transformed me into this! But it's actually pretty great!" The monster waved its tentacles proudly.
Roy was speechless. What a strange origin story.
"Now, human, move aside! I'm not interested in men. I'm looking for pretty ladies~" The tentacle monster ignored him and slithered away.
"...." Roy was amused by the monster's single-mindedness and decided not to interfere.
However, the tentacle monster didn't get far before it was taken down by someone claiming to be a hero.
He was a bit disappointed that he didn't get to witness a tentacle monster versus female hero battle, but Roy found himself interested in the concept of heroes.
"Well, Since I have nothing better to do, I might as well try playing hero for a change."
Roy had always played the villain; it might be fun to try being a hero for a change.
With a thought, he teleported to the Hero Association Headquarters.
"Heh~~ I wonder if I'll run into Fubuki or Tatsumaki? Oh right, I don't even know the current timeline yet!"
Just then—
A bald man in a yellow jumpsuit and a cool-looking cyborg walked over from nearby.
It was Saitama and Genos!
What a coincidence.
Roy instantly grasped the current timeline.
Genos had just brought Saitama to the Hero Association to take the hero test.
It seemed the story hadn't progressed very far.
In other words, Saitama and Genos had just defeated the House of Evolution.
Roy stroked his chin thoughtfully.
Just then, Saitama and Genos stopped beside him.
"Are you here for the hero test too?" Saitama greeted him casually.
"Huh? Are you talking to me?" Roy was surprised that Saitama would initiate a conversation.
"Yes, Saitama-sensei is talking to you," Genos confirmed.
"Oh! Yes, I'm here for the hero test," Roy replied with a smile and a nod.
"Is that so? Want to join us?" Saitama invited.
Roy was intrigued.
"Why would you invite me?"
"Because…I get the feeling you're strong." Saitama looked at him intently, a spark of excitement in his eyes.
Roy was stunned. Saitama could sense his strength?!
