The Journey to the Other World Starting from Douluo.

Chapter 657 The Reactions of the Major Clans and Their Rush to the Rescue
The girl nodded in agreement, then bowed and took her leave, turning to guide Loki away.

……

After a while.

"boom……"

With a loud bang, Freya's room door was suddenly pushed open by a red-haired, flat-eyed goddess.

The door, pushed open, slammed heavily against the wall with a dull thud.

Without a doubt, the person who could break into Freya's boudoir in this way was Loki, and it could only be Loki!
Perhaps it's true that their personalities clash, but no matter what, they've lived together in the Heavenly Realm for hundreds of millions of years. Even if they can't stand each other, they're still like familiar strangers.

Furthermore, knowing that Loki had always been like this, Freya didn't bother to argue with Loki's unreasonable attitude.

"Do you have any idea?"

Loki didn't bother to guess Freya's thoughts. As soon as he entered, he sat down on the sofa and asked her directly.

Freya shook her head slightly: "I have no clue. What happened in the dungeon this time was too sudden, and it's the only case like this. I can only say that there's definitely more to this than meets the eye..."

nonsense!

Do you need to tell me this time?
Loki rolled his eyes, then thought of Uranus, frowned, and said, "Do you think it was that old man Uranus who did this?"

Freya shook her head again: "I don't know, but it shouldn't have anything to do with him..."

"Why do you say that? How can you be so sure he didn't do it?"

"I don't know, it's just a vague feeling!"

"...You don't know this, you don't know that, what are you doing all day, you infatuated goddess?" Loki couldn't help but complain upon hearing this.

Loki then waved his hand, glanced around, and, not seeing Ota, exclaimed in surprise, "Where's your bodyguard?"

You should know that Ota, a level 7, would definitely be by Freya's side to protect her if nothing unexpected happened. Now he has disappeared, which is simply illogical!

Freya raised an eyebrow and pointed to the dungeon beneath her feet.

"..."

Loki finally quieted down.

……

Hermes's family.

Hermes examined the message in his hand, his gaze fixed on the distance, in the direction of the Great Sea of ​​Trees.

As he watched, Hermes' face broke into an excited and expectant smile:
"I saw you guys go out a few days ago and wondered what you were up to. I didn't expect you to be going to attack Andaris?"

"As expected! I knew Hestia, you would never let me down!"

"It hasn't been that long, and you've already caused such a big problem..."

"This is just... just... just so amazing!"

"To have grown to this extent in just a few weeks, the other world is truly an amazing place!"

"I really look forward to seeing you succeed in your campaign!"

"However, I probably won't be able to see it. In that case, let us defend the dungeon for now. That way... you'll owe me a favor, right?"

"Asfi!"

A cold-faced girl with blue hair and glasses appeared out of nowhere.

The Almighty Asfi El Andromeda!
The leader of the Hermes Familia is responsible for cleaning up the messes caused by Hermes' various actions. He can create many gadgets, including Hades' helmet (invisibility) and flying boots.

Instructed by the chief god Hermes, he concealed his true strength, publicly announcing his level as lv2, but his actual level has reached lv4, making him a truly high-level adventurer.

After the blue-haired girl appeared, she looked at Hermes with disdain—this good-for-nothing who constantly caused trouble and made her clean up his messes—and asked somewhat irritably:
"Why did you call me?!"

Hermes didn't care about Asphi's attitude, he simply raised his hand and waved:

"Alright, alright, let's get ready, we're heading to the underground city to provide reinforcements!"

"???"

Upon hearing Hermes's arrangement, Asphie did not respond, but instead squeezed a question mark above his head.

She looked at Hermes as if he were a fool:
"Are you out of your mind? What would I, a level 2 adventurer, do there? Be cannon fodder?"

"Level 2? Aren't you level 4?"

Hermes looked at Asphie with a smile on his lips and said in a nonchalant tone.

Having grasped the deeper meaning in Hermes' words, Asphie's previously calm expression immediately shifted:
"Hmm? You mean... we don't need to hide it anymore?"

"Yeah! We don't need to hide it anymore!"

Hermes nodded, then looked into the distance, his tone filled with excitement and elation, as if watching a grand stage curtain slowly unfold:
"The next era is about to usher in a new wave of chaos. If we continue to hide, we will fall behind the times!"

"Fortunately, we might as well take this opportunity to expose ourselves and then openly join this feast!"

"...Understood, I'll go arrange it right away!"

Having understood the deeper meaning in Hermes' words, Asphi immediately nodded, then left the house and began to gather the members of his clan.

Hermes, meanwhile, remained standing by the window in his room, gazing at the distant sea of ​​trees, and raised his cup of divine wine.
"Heroes of the Hestia Familia...you must succeed!"

"Otherwise, this world will revert to its stagnant state, peaceful but utterly boring!"

……

The temporary residence of Artemis's family.

"Ugh, so annoying!"

The fully armed clan leader, Letesha, was looking at the guild's message with a headache:
"Why did the dungeon suddenly riot at this time?"

"We're all ready and about to head to the Great Tree Sea! It's our first time going there! We're really looking forward to it!"

"Alright, Letsa, stop complaining. The Great Tree Sea isn't going anywhere. We can go after we've dealt with the dungeon problem!"

Artemis finished packing her gear, ignoring the still-frowning Letesa, and instead turned to Lan beside her, asking:

"Are you ready, Landy?"

"Yes, it's ready, Lady Artemis!"

Upon hearing Artemis's question, the half-elf girl Lanti immediately gripped her weapon tightly and respectfully replied, "In that case, let's prepare to depart!"

As she spoke, Artemis's gaze involuntarily turned towards the direction of the Great Sea of ​​Trees, a hint of excitement in her eyes.

For some reason, she always felt that the source of this disaster was somehow connected to her.

But she clearly didn't do anything!
So where does this inexplicable palpitation come from?

He shook his head. If he couldn't figure it out, he simply stopped thinking about it.

Pulling her thoughts out of her mind, Artemis turned her gaze toward the underground city, her expression gradually becoming serious.

A riot has broken out in the dungeon!
This is truly an unprecedented event...

……

Inside the dungeon, Loki's Familia is still fighting!

"Are these monsters insane? Are they rushing at us to their deaths?"

After kicking a Minotaur to pieces, Bert the Ferocious Wolf, panting heavily, looked at the horde of monsters still pouring out and couldn't help but curse angrily.

"I've never agreed with you like that before!"

Holding the magician's sharp sword, Alicia plunged it into the vital spot of a killer scorpion. After wiping the sweat from her forehead, she looked at Bert with approval.

"This is really never going to end!"

Tiona gripped her treasured sword, the Great Slash, and with a single stroke, she cleaved several monsters in front of her in two. She couldn't help but shake her wrist, which was starting to ache.

……

It has been quite some time since Loki's Familia arrived to reinforce the underground city's defenses.

During this time, they had been fighting against all kinds of monsters without stopping, their nerves were constantly on high alert, and they were already exhausted!
Although the Loki Familia members could easily resist these relatively weak monsters, the prolonged battle, coupled with the continuous influx of monsters from the dungeon, proved too much.

This left everyone, who had been fighting non-stop without time to rest, feeling utterly exhausted.

While it's satisfying to dominate newbies, if you keep doing it and can't stop, it's not satisfying anymore, it's pure torture!

"Hold on a little longer, everyone! The reinforcements will be here soon! Once they arrive, we'll all take a break and rest..."

After Finn stabbed a young dragon that was trying to escape by jumping over his head, he saw the exhausted looks on everyone's faces and quickly comforted them.

Finn was well aware of everyone's exhaustion, but at this moment, only the Loki Familia were fighting, and he couldn't let them lose their fighting spirit.

If they really relax, the members of the Familia will definitely be fine, but Orario will be in big trouble!
"Don't worry, Commander, we know..."

Tiona struck again, killing another monster, and replied breathlessly.

"Another red dragon has escaped!"

Just then, a member of the clan saw a head emerge from the dungeon and immediately shouted loudly.

Upon hearing these words, the adventurers from the other clans couldn't help but feel wavering.

(Other clans refer to the smaller clans that form the defensive line. They are not strong and can only deal with some low-level monsters. They do not play a decisive role on the battlefield, so they can be almost ignored...)
They didn't know when reinforcements would arrive, or whether continuing like this was even worthwhile.

It's perfectly normal to feel wavering when faced with a life-or-death crisis and a sense of confusion.

But just then, a burly man descended from the sky wielding a greatsword in both hands, cleaving the red dragon in two in one swift motion, leaving a crack in the ground that shimmered with red light.

The red dragon turned to ashes in an instant, and then, the fierce warrior Ota, who was over two meters tall, appeared before everyone.

Accompanying him were a group of high-ranking adventurers from the Freya Familia:

The cat-man wielding a spear, the two magic swordsmen dressed in black and white magic robes, and the four dwarves wielding swords, hammers, spears, and axes also jumped down with Ota and plunged into the battlefield without saying a word.

The arrival of the Freya Familia adventurers not only relieved the pressure on the battlefield, but also gave the smaller Familia adventurers a boost of morale, rekindling their resolve.

With the pressure reduced, Finn also had a chance to catch his breath.

After tearing a monster to shreds, Finn turned to look at Orta behind him, his expression immediately lightening.

"It seems the strongest reinforcements have finally arrived!"

After the monsters of the Hera and Zeus Families died, Ota of the Freya Families truly became the strongest in Orario.

Although this strongest seems like a lucky find, Ota, with his level 7, is undoubtedly the strongest in the current environment!
Therefore, Finn immediately breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Ota appear.

"You've worked hard. Take a rest first, and leave the rest to us!"

Ota looked at the exhausted Loki Familia members and said in a deep voice.

"Then it's up to you!"

Finn did not refuse. After fighting for so long under high mental tension, the members of the clan were more or less tired and they really needed to rest.

If you insist on holding on under these circumstances, you're really playing with your own life and safety!
"Hmm... Let's go!"

Ota nodded silently, then gripped his greatsword and charged onto the battlefield!

Behind her followed a group of adventurers from Freya's Familia.

While Ota and his group went up to fight the monster, the members of the Loki Familia quickly seized the opportunity to take healing, restorative, and other potions to either heal or restore their status.

While Loki's Familia was resting, reinforcements from other Familias arrived at the battlefield and charged in without hesitation to fight the monsters in the dungeon.

"As expected of a fierce warrior, his combat power is as strong as ever. And there are other clans... It seems we can't fall behind either."

After resting for a while, they saw Ota single-handedly holding off thousands of monsters, and witnessed the members of his clan displaying their skills and realizing their grand ambitions.

Finn's fighting spirit gradually intensified. He turned to look at the members of the Loki Familia and asked with a smile, "How are you all? Have you rested well?"

"Oh!"

The members gripped their weapons tightly and shouted in response to Finn's words.

"That's great! We've been on the defensive for so long, now it's finally our turn to counterattack!"

Seeing this, Finn smiled, raised his spear high, and loudly gave orders to his companions—

"Everyone, go all out—let's fight our way back!!!"

"Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh—!"
