The Journey to the Other World Starting from Douluo.

Chapter 664 Loki, the Circus Clown

Then he called out to Umaru, who was picking out clothes in the clothing store:

"Alright, Umaru, we should head back now. Something's happened at Hestia's place!"

Something happened to Hestia?!

Perhaps because of Wu Tong, after spending these few days together, Xiao Mai and Hestia became familiar with each other and started calling each other sisters.

Since they've already started calling each other sisters, their relationship speaks for itself!

Saying they support each other through thick and thin might be a bit of an exaggeration, but saying they love each other dearly is absolutely right!

Therefore, upon hearing this news, Umaru forgot all about buying clothes and immediately shouted back:
"Master, wait for me, I'm coming right away!"

Afterwards, Umaru handed the clothes she had just received to the salesperson, then put the clothes she had bought into her storage ring and hurriedly walked out.

Upon seeing Wu Tong, Xiao Mai ran over to his side, looking at him nervously and saying:
"Master, Master, what happened to Sister Hestia? Is she alright?"

Wu Tong chuckled, as if he had heard something amusing, and patted Xiao Mai's head, saying:

"What could possibly happen to her? The gods of this world are formed from rules. Even if they die, they simply transform into rules and their divine bodies are re-formed in the celestial realm!"

"In other words, even if everyone in this world dies, she won't be in any danger. Don't overthink it, girl!"

Hearing this, Umaru nodded in relief, but still asked, somewhat puzzled, after recalling what had just been said:
"But Master, didn't you say that something happened to Sister Hestia?"

Wu Tong shook his head: "Something has happened, but something happening doesn't mean there are only bad things; there are also good things!"

"This sudden incident involving Hestia... should be considered a good thing for her!"

Of course! You're just staying at home and someone is offering you a family member, and it's someone with the destiny and luck of the protagonist of this world, Bell Crane. If this isn't a good thing, what is?
"Aha?"

Hearing Wu Tong's words, Xiao Mai tilted her head and looked at Wu Tong with some confusion:

Something good has happened?

What does this mean?
She had never heard of using the word "out" to describe something good.

"Haha...Alright, you'll find out when you get there!"

Wu Tong didn't explain, but just laughed and then turned and walked towards the Hestia Familia.

"Hey, Master, slow down, wait for me!"

Seeing this, Umaru could only suppress her doubts and quickly jogged after him!

……

The Hestia family's reception room.

After receiving a definite reply from Wu Tong, Hestia left the chat group with peace of mind.

However, as soon as Hestia opened her eyes, she saw Loki, who was huddled next to Hermes and Bell, harassing the two gods.

"Wow, I thought this cute child was one of your kin. I was even planning to give up on him, but it turns out he's a wild one!"

"If you're looking for a Familia, why not entrust this child to me? My Loki Familia is clearly the strongest in Orario, and it's far more worthy of consideration than this little dwarf's Familia, isn't it?"

Loki looked at Hermes with a displeased expression and questioned him.

She has always been powerless against beautiful girls, and since Bell has been gender-swapped into a girl, she now has a special attraction to Loki.

The reason she didn't make a move earlier was that she thought the newcomer was a member of Hermes's kin, but it turned out he wasn't.

If you hadn't said so, you should have said so earlier. If you had, I would have been able to seduce her much sooner.

Hermes, however, had anticipated this, and shrugged as he explained:

"You can't blame me for this. The child's caregiver personally rejected most of the clans, and your clan was among them!"

Hahahahahahaha…

Hestia, who had originally intended to stop Loki from stealing her lover, burst into laughter inwardly upon hearing Hermes' words.

Loki, oh Loki...

You willingly offer yourself up to be slapped; I never thought you'd even have the qualifications to be a clown!
Hahahahaha...

"what?"

Loki was taken aback for a moment, then immediately glared angrily at Hermes, his hair standing on end, and said:
"What does this mean? Why is he excluding my family like this? What's wrong with my family? What right does he have to look down on my family..."

Before Loki could finish his question, Hermes interrupted him, saying:
"Emmm... To be more precise, he doesn't look down on your clan, he simply doesn't like you."

"As for why... I think all the female members of your clan should know the answer to this question!"

Loki: "..."

She knew perfectly well why, but could she say it?

Of course not!

So Loki could only remain silent!
At this moment, Ais added from the side, "Loki, you're so annoying!"

Loki's defenses have been breached!
How could Hestia possibly let go of such a wonderful opportunity to kick someone when they're down?

So when Hestia saw this, she couldn't hold back any longer and burst into laughter, mocking the defenseless Loki:
"Pfft hahahahaha..."

"I never expected this. You, who were eliminated at the very beginning, actually think you can steal my guy?"

"Loki, how come I didn't know you had the talent to be a circus clown?"

"Hahahaha...hiccup, cough cough..."

Hestia mocked and ridiculed Loki until she choked on her own saliva halfway through her laughter, at which point she reluctantly stopped.

"Shorty!"

Loki had already been breached twice, and now he saw his nemesis Hestia so openly mocking him.

This made Loki feel like the string in his brain had snapped.

When reason collapses and anger becomes the dominant emotion, what that person will do is already obvious! Loki leaped up and pounced on Hestia like a cheetah, shouting as he did so:

"You little dwarf, eat my Mount Tai meteorite!"

...Is this person an idiot?
Seeing Loki rushing towards her from above, Hestia didn't panic at all; instead, she silently complained to herself.

As we all know, a person has no point of leverage in the air. This means that without external support, it is difficult to change the direction of descent once a person is in mid-air.

Especially during a battle between two people, anyone who makes such an idiotic move will invariably suffer the consequences.

And Loki was no exception this time.

After calculating the arc of the parabola and Loki's landing point in his mind, Hestia watched Loki pounce from the air and a sly smile appeared on his lips.

Immediately afterward, to Loki's incredulous gaze, he took a small step back.

With just this small step, Loki, who was already in mid-air, suddenly changed his expression.

Because if she continued to pounce at this speed, her target would no longer be Hestia, but the plank in front of Hestia.

Moreover, he landed prostrate on the wooden plank in front of Hestia.

Everything else is fine, but to face your mortal enemy with complete submission...

Even Loki, who never cares about saving face, would never want to do such a thing.

So after determining the outcome, Loki frantically waved his arms in the air, trying to use the wind generated by his arm movements to change his landing point.

Unfortunately, it was all in vain.

After sealing his divine power, Loki's physical abilities became almost identical to those of an ordinary person, so the wind he fanned was just like the wind an ordinary person could create with their hand.

With such a weak breeze, it might be okay for a little bit of coolness, but to think that it could change a person's landing point is nothing short of a pipe dream.

then……

Bang!

With a thud, Loki successfully landed on his knees in front of Hestia, just as she had hoped.

"Oh dear, Loki, why are you suddenly bowing so deeply?"

Hestia stood in front of Loki, looking at Loki who had his head buried in the ground and refused to lift it, and asked, feigning ignorance.

"How can this be? Please rise at once!"

As Hestia spoke, she prepared to step forward and help Loki up.

"Ahem... I really don't want to interrupt your game, but I do have something to do in a bit and I'm in a hurry, so could I interrupt you for a short while?"

However, just as Hestia took a step and was about to make a move, Hermes suddenly spoke up.

This single sentence immediately freed Loki from his predicament, who was feigning death.

However, while it was said to have helped them out of a difficult situation, that wasn't entirely true.

Hermes does indeed have something to attend to and needs to leave Orario for a while.

That's why he took this opportunity to come and entrust Bell with the task. If it weren't for this reason, he wouldn't have come over when Hestia needed to rest.

So, although Hermes, the god of amusement, was very much looking forward to what was about to happen, he really couldn't stand it any longer and had to interrupt.

"Hestia, have you thought it through? Do you want to accept Bel's kin?"

Upon hearing this, Hestia looked up and immediately noticed Hermes' somewhat anxious expression, and then understood.

It seems Hermes really is in trouble!

Hestia was not an unreasonable person; on the contrary, she was very understanding. So when she learned that Hermes had something to do, she didn't waste any more time and got straight to the point.

Hestia stepped over Loki, walked to Bell's side, circled Bell a few times, then suddenly stopped, looked at Bell, and asked:

"So, would you like to join my kin, Bell?"

Caught off guard by Hestia's sudden question, Bell was taken aback at first, but quickly recovered and nodded in reply:

"I wish to join your kin, High God Hestia!"

Although he didn't know why his grandfather and the god Hermes insisted that he join the Hestia Familia, Bell believed that they would not harm him, so he was willing to follow their wishes and join the Hestia Familia.

(Because of Bell's gender change, the plot took a slight turn. At this point, Bell already knew his grandfather's identity, and Zeus did not fake his death...)
Hearing this familiar address, Hestia squinted at Bell for a few moments, then smiled with satisfaction:
"Hmm~ Although I don't know which god arranged for you to join my familia, since such a good child has been sent here, it wouldn't be right not to accept you..."

"So, Bell, from now on you are a member of my Hestia Familia!"

Although that's what she said, Hestia knew everything about Bell's background, having read the story.

Belle Clownney.

The adopted grandson of Zeus, a descendant of Zeus and Hera's kin. His father was a member of Zeus's kin, his mother was Metriya, a favorite of Hera's kin, and his aunt was Alphia, known as the "Silent" and a "monster of talent." Because he resembles Argonaut, the hero from "The Heroes of Argonautica," he is said to be the reincarnation of Argonaut...

Moreover, not only is her background astonishing, but her personality is also extremely likable:
She is simple, kind, helpful, bad at saying no, respectful of others, and reveres the main god. Her personality is basically timid and simple, plus she is a hot-blooded boy... no, now that she's been gender-swapped, she should be a hot-blooded girl.

Whether it's personality, potential, origin, or even the identity of a hero reincarnated, it can be said that he directly resonates with the hearts of the gods in this world.

Although Hestia now has dozens of worlds in the chat group as its backing, it looks down on the people of Orario.

But no matter what, such a high-quality, genius clan that offered itself up should not be given up so easily!
"What a happy ending!"

Seeing Hestia successfully accept Bell's joining the team, Hermes immediately smiled and clapped his hands in delight.

After successfully resolving Bell's resettlement, Hermes glanced at the sky and then said to Hestia:
"Now that Bell has successfully joined your familia, I won't concern myself with the rest. I have other matters to attend to, so I'll be leaving now!"

After saying this, Hermes nodded to the other members of the Hestia Familia and Aisloki, then turned and walked straight out of the camp!
Hestia did not stop them.

Although Hermes disturbed her sleep, he had already given her such a great gift, so how could she possibly hold onto that little mistake?
So Hestia chose to turn a blind eye to Hermes' minor offense of disturbing her sleep and let it go.

……

After leaving the clan's residence, they walked for a while longer before Hermes and Wu Tong, who was walking towards them, passed each other.

Seemingly sensing something, Hermes turned to look at Wu Tong's departing figure, his eyes narrowing instantly:
