A cross-dressing anime, starting with Kaguya-sama: Love Is War.

"But those are..."

"Now is not the time to worry about these things!"

Hephaestus's voice was like a hammer blow, severing iron and nails.

"Weapons are made to be used! What's the point of keeping these scrap metal if the city is gone?"

Her bright eyes, gleaming with light, could easily distinguish people in a crowd.

Who are the real adventurers, and who are the infiltrators?

"Chun, you're in charge of distributing!"

"God Gubernius!"

She looked toward the corner of the workshop, where a figure, also a forging god, was silently forging iron.

"You can borrow the stove! We need more weapons! The more the better!"

Two gods who usually don't get along are now together.

Gubernius, the god renowned for crafting divine artifacts, grinned upon hearing this, revealing a set of white teeth.

"That's exactly what I was thinking! After this battle, Yulari's weapons will probably be exhausted! We need to replenish our stockpile in advance!"

Their workshops were transformed into a War Factory 4.0, continuously supplying the adventurers on the front lines with the finest weapons.

A young adventurer received a brand-new longsword and was so excited that tears welled up in his eyes.

"Great! With this, I can go rescue my companions!"

He turned to rush out, but was stopped by his companion.

"Are you crazy? The outside world is full of enemies!"

"But...didn't you feel the earthquake just now? I heard that Lord Lynn has returned! He's fighting a monster in the north of the city! We can't just stand by and watch!"

"Lord Lynn?"

The adventurers around him perked up at the mention of the name.

The man who created countless miracles, has he returned?

This message was like a shot in the arm, rekindling hope in these adventurers who had been on the verge of despair.

225. So much miscellaneous stuff.

……

A temporary first aid station near the guild headquarters.

The place was filled with wounded soldiers, and the air was thick with the smell of blood and medicine.

"Next one!"

A clear and steady sound rang out.

Ami, the "Saintess" of the Deancat Familia, is now bursting with astonishing energy despite her petite frame.

She hardly stopped for a moment; her healing magic, like sweet rain, showered upon every dying wounded person.

"Hey! This place is about to collapse!"

Not far away, the dog-woman Nazha shouted loudly as she used her precise archery skills to shoot down enemies trying to rush into the aid station.

"They're here! They're here!"

Amid retorted without turning her head, but her hands continued moving without stopping.

"Nazha! Where's Mihe?"

Dean Kate, the god of healing, looked at the children of her kin, who were exhausted to the point of collapse, and her face was full of heartache.

"I'm here!"

Mih and his retinue arrived from the other side.

"How is the situation?"

“It’s bad.” Dean Kate shook his head. “Too many wounded, and the enemy attacks haven’t stopped. We have to move to a safer place.”

“Let’s go to the central square,” Mihe suggested. “I heard that Astraea and Hermes are organizing their defenses there; it should be the safest place right now.”

The two gods exchanged a glance and immediately made a decision.

Faced with this momentous issue of right and wrong, even the gods with whom there had been conflict relinquished their power.

They were to take all the wounded and therapists to the central square, where they would establish a larger joint ambulance center.

Just as they were about to take action, a loud female voice came from the other end of the street.

"Are you going to Central Square? Take us with you!"

The crowd looked in the direction of the sound and saw a tall, imposing woman striding towards them.

Behind her followed a large group of commoners, as well as several "generous mistress" shop assistants.

It was Mia, the owner of this tavern.

At her feet lay the corpses of more than a dozen members of the dark faction.

Clearly, it was she who single-handedly repelled the enemy who attempted to attack these civilians.

This former LV6 powerhouse demonstrated her composure in the face of danger.

...

at the same time,

Lily Luca felt like she was about to die.

She clutched her head, curled up in a corner of an alley, trembling all over.

Just now, she witnessed a member of a dark faction tear a beastman child in half with a monstrous grin.

The bloody scene made her stomach churn, and she almost vomited up her bile.

She was just a supporter, a Level 1 adventurer.

In the face of such a war, she was as weak as an ant.

"Found you, little dwarf."

A cold, eerie voice rang out above her head.

Lily looked up and saw a man holding a short knife looking at her with the eyes of someone looking at prey.

It’s over.

Lily felt a chill in her heart.

Just as the man raised his dagger, preparing to stab,

"Ow—!"

A ferocious wolf howl came from the alley entrance.

A silver-white figure rushed in like lightning and kicked the man away.

It's a wolf, Bert.

His signature werewolf-like posture gives him a wild and oppressive aura.

"Tch, so much trash. I wonder where that Lynn guy is now?"

Bert had felt that Lynn had the potential to be a hero when they were fighting that giant tortoise outside the city.

Bert spat impatiently, not even glancing at the rescued Lily, and turned to chase after the other enemies.

"wait wait wait!"

Lily called out to him instinctively.

However, Bert completely ignored her, and his figure flashed a few times before disappearing into the firelight.

Lily was left alone in this dangerous alley once again.

Just as she was at a loss, another figure appeared at the alley entrance.

She was a human girl wearing a long white dress, who looked quiet and delicate.

Are you alright?

The girl's voice was very gentle.

“My name is Serenia, and I am the vice-captain of the Vida Familia 710. That werewolf from earlier was my boyfriend. I hope he didn’t scare you. Besides, it’s too dangerous here. Let me take you to the shelter in the central square.”

Lily looked at the outstretched hand, hesitated for a moment, and finally took it.

Led by Serenia, Lily navigated through the chaotic streets and finally arrived at the relatively safe central square.

A large number of people and adventurers have gathered here, and a temporary defensive line is being built under the organization of the goddess Astraea and the Hermes Familia.

However, danger crept in quietly in another way.

A man disguised as an injured civilian, under the cover of the crowd, slowly approached Freya's temporary camp.

His eyes gleamed with a mad and venomous light.

His target was the beautiful short-haired girl who was distributing food and water to the members of the clan.

Seele!

He pulled out the dagger hidden in his bosom and stabbed it fiercely into Seele's back.

226. The New Leader

However, just as his dagger was about to touch Seele...

Seele, however, seemed to have eyes in the back of her head and suddenly turned around.

Her face still held that gentle and innocent smile.

But her eyes, those purple pupils, shone with a kind of soul-penetrating light that was not of human origin.

What do you want to do?

Her voice was soft, yet it struck the spy's heart like a heavy hammer.

An irresistible, alluring power emanating from the depths of his soul instantly overwhelmed him.

The man froze, and the madness and resentment in his eyes were quickly replaced by a kind of obsession and fanaticism.

He knelt down with a thud, kissing the hem of Seele's skirt like the most devout man.

"My...goddess..."

Seele, or rather, Freya at this moment, smiled and stroked his head.

"Tell me your plan."

"Yes... our goal is to repatriate all the gods and completely destroy Yullari's command system..."

The spy, like a puppet on a string, revealed the entire plan of the dark faction in detail.

Haici and the others who were helping out were dumbfounded.

All they saw was that Seele only said a few words to the man, and he confessed everything as if he were possessed.

“Xi’er, you…”

"Shh."

Freya raised a finger to her lips and gave a mysterious smile.

She shared the information she obtained from the spies with her companions.

They must stop the dark faction's sinister plot.

However, their actions were still a step too late.

Just then, something unexpected happened!

At the same time, without warning, nine beams of light shot up from nine different directions around Yulari, piercing through the heavens and earth!

The pillar of light was so holy and so dazzling, as if it were a gate to the heavens, opening a passage to the mortal realm.

At the center of each beam of light, there was the figure of a deity, being slowly pulled towards the sky by an irresistible force.
