Villain Retirement

"Greetings to you, gray-skinned god."

"My name is Eryong, and you?"

"Riley, Riley Ross."

There was absolutely no sign that the Nectar had any effect on Riley whatsoever at all. His face wasn't red at all and was still as white as it could be; his speech, still carrying its harmonious monotony as he introduced himself.

"Oh, it's you." His opponent, the gray-skinned god with no hair who introduced himself as Eryong, slightly widened his pitch-black eyes, "The newbie that's been messing around everyone."

"Oh, you know of me, Mr. Eryong?" Riley tilted his head in response before looking at the audience around him. Like with his match with Marleen, the audience did not seem to mind that the combatants were talking and not fighting immediately.

"Of course, how could I not?" Eryong let out a small chuckle as he slightly opened his arms, "You are garnering quite the attention, more so than most gods when they are still new — is it true that you are not even 3 decades old?"

"Yes," Riley nodded, "But that is enough about me—I seem to notice a surplus of bald and hairless gods in this domain."

"That is because this is not our true form," Eryong just breathed out as he examined himself, "Having hair seems complicated."

"Hm," Riley shrugged, "I just mentioned it because I think you could use some hair. The shape of your head is not really that nice, Mr. Eryong."

"...Thank you for honesty, no matter how unwarranted it is."

"You are welcome, Mr. Eryong," Riley let out a small hum as he took a small step forward, "I am actually in the midst of experimenting with alcohol since this is the first time I have ever consumed one — I need to return to the resort."

"What makes you think you're going back to the banquet?" The friendly smile on Eryong's face very slowly disappeared as he too, started walking toward Riley.

"Because whether I lose or win, it takes less than a day to get back there, Mr. Eryong."

"That… actually makes a lot of sense," Eryong could really only look to the side as he heard Riley's words, "Well, enough talk. Let's…"

Eryong did not finish his words as he suddenly rushed toward Riley; his body, creating a cyclone that looked like it was threatening to swallow Riley along with the entire stage. As for Riley, he did not move at all and just opened his arms to the side; almost as if gesturing to Eryong that he was welcoming his attack wholeheartedly.

The cyclone slightly weakened as Eryong saw this, but his hesitation did not last long before the violent gust of wind grew even wilder as it got closer and closer to Riley. And soon, this violent storm just swallowed Riley whole.

The audience could really only hold their breaths; their heads, bobbing from left to right as they waited for the cloud of dust to dissipate. And as soon as it did so, they saw a pair of legs just standing there on their own… Riley's legs, and only the legs.

As for Eryong, he just once again spun his body to get rid of all the blood, flesh, and guts that managed to stick to him.

"Pft," he then scoffed as he glanced back at Riley's legs, before turning to look at the audience and smiling. The audience, however, was just looking at him slightly dumbfounded — and it did not take even a second for Eryong to figure out why.

He was still not back at the resort. And as soon as he realized that, a violent gust of wind once again wrapped around him as he spun around and rushed toward Riley's legs; completely shredding and obliterating them into oblivion.

"Fu…" Eryong let out a short but very deep breath as he once again glanced at Riley's position. And as he saw that there was almost no trace of him left, his heavy breaths turned into a sigh; not for long, however, as he found that he was still not being teleported back to the 91st floor,

"What… where are you even hiding!?"

Eryong started looking everywhere, before just deciding to turn into a live tornado again and rampaged across the entire arena until he covered everything… but even then, he was still not being declared a winner.

"What's… even going on!?" Eryong was starting to get frustrated. The audience, however, was starting to smile as they were once again witnessing something new—no. For some of them, they have already witnessed something like this before.

These kinds of instances usually happen… when the god they thought that was already defeated was actually still alive somewhere — perhaps there was a very tiny microscopic speck still out there, alive.

There were gods out there who could recover even if there was only a dust of their bone left — and it would seem that Riley belonged to that kind, or maybe even much stronger as there was definitely nothing of him left.

…Or so they thought.

Unbeknownst to everyone, Riley was about to make an appearance very, very soon.

"Where—" And as Eryong once again voiced out his frustration… he felt something inside him starting to move, "Wait… no, wait…"

Eryong's eyes started to widen as for some reason… as he suddenly felt the urge to…

…poop.

"No, no, no!" Eryong practically started wriggling his body while spinning at a speed even faster than his attacks earlier to try and prevent what he thought was going to happen a few moments from now.

But alas, like a ballerina growing a third leg, an arm suddenly sprouted out of his anus. And as he stopped spinning, the index finger of the arm touched the ground to ensure that he could still spin gracefully like a ballerina.

The already quiet audience could not help but just stare at this… majestic scenery that had suddenly unfolded right in their eyes. Some of them have lived for hundreds of millions of years, and yet this was probably the first time they were ever truly seeing something like that.

Grandarena City truly is the best city in all of the Domain of the Gods.

"I do not deser—" And before Eryong could finish his words, a foot suddenly emerged from his mouth. Fortunately for him, he did not need to suffer for long as his entire body was split open — and without even a second later, Riley was teleported back to the resort; completely covered in blood and guts.

"Ew!" Miss Pepondosovich, who was still standing on top of the table could not help but roll back as Riley's stretched arm which emerged from Eryong's butt went directly straight to her face,

"You did that on purpose, didn't you, Riri!? Go clean yourself in—

What the…"

And before Miss Pepondosovich could finish her words, Riley suddenly disappeared in front of her.

"Where did he suddenly go!?" Miss Pepondosovich started looking around the resort.

"I told you, he's drunk," Marleen could not help but sigh as she shook her head, "He's out there."

"Out…" Miss Pepondosovich squinted her eyes as she looked at Marleen, "...You mean he disqualified himself again!? Why!?"

"Why else?" Marleen giggled as she rested her head on the table,

"He followed his opponent out of the tower."

***

"Fuck!" Eryong could not help but hold his butt as soon as he was kicked out of the tower. But as soon as he noticed all the people staring at him, he quickly cleared his throat and calmed himself down. The only thing he could really do was lament and forget what just happened—unfortunately for him, his audience could live for eternity and would probably remember it for eternity too.

"Damn it!" And as he realized that, he once again shouted in frustration. If there was a certain solace in his situation, he at least would no longer have to face Riley again while climbing the tower.

…Or so he thought before Riley just suddenly appeared behind him.

"What the… don't tell me you're going to climb the tower again!?" Eryong groaned. He did not panic immediately, however, as he could just delay entering the tower since he was sure Riley was going to climb the tower in a flash.

But contrary to his expectations, however…

"I am not going to climb the tower immediately, Mr. Eryong," Riley muttered as his feet very slowly started to leave the ground, "I have been in a domain with beings that are supposed to be stronger or as strong as me, and only my clone has actually fought one of you at full strength, so…

…perhaps it is time I actually get to experience that."

And as soon as he said that, Riley instinctively activated his Territory, expanding the land beneath his feet and leaving only him and Eryong there.

"You—"

"Hm…?" Riley blinked a couple of times as he looked around. And after a few seconds, his Territory turned small and completely disappeared, bringing everyone else back near them, "I don't think it is going to be fun if it is just you and me, so…

…Let's bring everyone in."
