I'm Trying To Go Broke, So Why Do I Keep Getting Richer?!

Chapter 43: A new religion?


....

"This sword... Just what kind of weapon did Voldred give me?" Leo was sitting atop a rock, staring at the sword that didn't have even a little speck of blood on it.

The scene behind Leo wasn't the same though. The desert was painted red in blood. Corpse of frightening wolves were lying on the ground, in a gruesome condition that was impossible to describe.

As for the cannibals that had attacked him, their fate was even worse than the wolves. Leo didn't even look behind at the bloody sight, which was a little too much for him.

There was a trace of fear in his eyes as he looked at that sword. He didn't feel anything when he was holding the sword, but when he used it for the first time to attack someone, he felt it.

He felt the bloodlust of the sword, sleeping through his body. It didn't make him go crazy, but it made his thoughts a lot colder.

Leo only wanted to test the sword on the cannibals and get some practice for self protection. But this experience had gone far beyond that.

The moment he attacked with the sword, it was like he had become a completely different person. With each strike, he was cutting his enemies.

There was no exhaustion in his body. He didn't get tired even after swinging the sword. Instead, he felt like his physical state was only improving as he used the sword.

"It was like this thing... It was actually alive and trying to help me..." Leo mumbled, placing his other hand on his stomach.

Although he wasn't fat in the past, he didn't have any significant muscles either. But now, he was able to feel like his stomach muscles had become more toned.

Not just his stomach, but his body also felt comfortable like he had just returned from a massage.

"If I had a normal weapon, I would have died a thousand times over. I only tried to come here to practice because the Necropolis Ship was there to teleport me back if I was in danger."

Leo's fingers brushed against the sword's surface.

"I thought that after killing a few, I would be seriously injured and brought back. But this went beyond my wildest guess..."

Even though the sword was made from bones, it was sharper than even the sharpest weapon he had seen on earth.

"If I use this sword, can I defeat a Hero on earth?"

He quickly shook off the thought. So what if the sword made him a little stronger? It was still an external help.

Even if the sword could help him, he was still a mortal. There were so many heroes that could kill him without even clashing with him.

If Lightning was going to attack him, moving at his superfast speed, could he even react on time before he died? What if Blaze was attacking him?

Leo made sure to remind himself that he didn't have the capital to grow overconfident in this universe. If he wanted to survive in this scary world, then he couldn't be stupid.

He picked the mask that was lying on the rock next to him, and placed it back on his face that looked abnormally pale.

He stood up, and looked towards the giant ship in the dark sky.

Following a gesture, a beam shot out from the ship, and covered Leo's figure. His body soon disappeared from this planet's surface.

The sky started growing brighter as the massive ship started leaving, freeing the sun behind it.

Hours after the ship left, more hunters arrived on wolves, only to find a sight that made most of them vomit. Even though they were cannibals, they still couldn't absorb this scene.

They looked at the sky, their pupils trembling as they remembered the dark sky. Was this a punishment from the gods?

Most of the cannibals didn't see what had happened here, but there was one that was hiding in the distance, watching everything.

That cannibal stepped forward, and started speaking something in an incomprehensible language.

He picked up a stick, and created an image on the same, of a masked figure in a black attire, holding an invincible sword.

The cannibals dropped on their knees and started banging their heads on the sand to apologise to the sun god.

Leo didn't know that his actions had brought a massive change to this planet. His simple hunt had become a spark of something new.

This day was going to be remembered forever by the hunters of this planet, seen as the punishment from the gods. It was like an invisible foundation was left behind on which this planet could go through changes and growth.

Unintentionally, Leo had left a deep impression on the person that saw his onslaught. He was seen as the incarnation of the sun god that had descended to punish them.

He had no idea that from this day onwards, he had accidentally become a god of an underdeveloped civilization.

It was not a lie to say that the foundation of a new religion was created on this planet, with him at the helm.

Leo was sitting inside Necropolis Ship, unaware of the seed of change that he had left behind on the planet that was even beneath a low tier at this moment.

Necropolis's Battleship was flying through the vast space. It wasn't avoiding any asteroids, instead the asteroids were disintegrating as soon as they came close to the ship.

The ship soon entered the black hole, and disappeared into nothingness.

....

Alpha Labs researchers had packed their bags. They were ready to leave this bankrupt place when Picollo came running and alerted them that more research funds had arrived.

"That sucker had more money?! Is he from some wealthy family with a lot of money to waste?"

It was the atmosphere of a party in the lab, since the boss was willing to waste more money for them to have fun with.

All of them dropped their plans of leaving this place. Where else could they find a place like this where they had no supervisor, and immense research funds for their personal research projects?

Just like that, the place returned to their usual state, constantly partying, and working on their personal projects in their free time.

The research on Leo's designated project hadn't even moved beyond a few lines on a paper in the last month.
