The Fukaros Familia, starting from DanMachi.

Chapter 129 Zero-Risk Fucarus

With the confirmation of the war game, everyone around, whether male or female, erupted in thunderous cheers; the scene was even more lively than a festival.

"Quickly, apply to the guild for the War Game, now, immediately, right now."

"We also need to hold a temporary assembly of the gods and call all those who couldn't come. They'll regret missing this grand show for the rest of their lives."

"I'm so excited—!!"

"Wuhu, the long-awaited grand carnival, my sunflower seeds are ready."

Lacking entertainment, the gods displayed astonishing energy at this moment. They chattered amongst themselves, instantly creating a festival-like commotion, which was even punctuated by Loki's laughter.

These gods have already begun to actively prepare for the upcoming war game, as enthusiastically as if they were the organizers.

"As you have heard," Apollo said with a triumphant smile amidst the cheers of the crowd, "the details of the competition will be decided at the Assembly of the Gods in three days. Enjoy these last moments, Fucarus."

After saying that, he turned and left triumphantly with his group of "extortionist gang" members.

Having achieved his goal, there was no need for him to continue the banquet.

In the corner, Freya, the goddess of beauty who had been silent all along, took a sip of red wine. Her silver eyes, which could see into the soul, watched Apollo's departing figure as if she were watching an uncivilized monkey performing a comical act in a tree.

"Heh, you idiot."

Fucarus was not a foolish god. Although there was an element of coercion involved, didn't Apollo think there was something wrong with Apollo's quick agreement to the war game?

No, Apollo thought about it.

But he was bound by his own arrogance and common sense.

In his view, the Fukaros Familia consisted of only four people, and even the strongest leader, Fenyu, was only Lv.2.

His Apollo Familia has a Level 3 leader, several Level 2 elites, and hundreds of Level 1 adventurers.

What does this mean? This is a game where a dragon charging in and still losing.

From any perspective, this is a game you're guaranteed to win.

All he needed to do was establish rules at the Great Assembly of the Gods to prevent the Fucarus Familia from bringing in powerful outside aid, which would guarantee a 100% victory.

"Fukaros, how could you agree to that? You were so reckless!"

As soon as Apollo left, Takemikazuchi walked over with a somber expression.

"I can't refuse, can I?"

Hephaestus shook her head helplessly. "Given that guy's persistent nature, if you don't agree today, he'll bring people to block your door tomorrow, making things even more troublesome. Good luck."

"Aistan, no, you can't."

On the other side, seeing that Ais seemed about to step forward, Loki immediately grabbed her and whispered in her ear, "This is a matter between factions. We can't just interfere. This is a matter of positions."

As one of Orario's largest clans, the Loki Familia's every move is magnified.

They are the law-abiding family that maintains the balance of the city and cannot do as they please, especially at times like this.

Although Ais was worried, she could only stop, a hint of worry showing in her golden eyes.

The war game between the Fukaros Familia and the Apollo Familia gained official guild recognition at an unprecedented speed.

Once the game's launch date was decided, the atmosphere in Orario immediately became lively, and everyone became busy.

Of all these, the most unfortunate ones right now are probably the guilds.

To ensure that the dangerous inter-factional war games would not affect Orario, they had to urgently allocate resources, arrange manpower, conduct city-wide propaganda, select and set up battlefields for the war games, and even notify surrounding areas to be aware of safety—the guild staff were so busy that they felt their livers were aching.

The gods' capricious demands—"for more fun" and "for more splendor"—further fueled the already tense situation.

Whether adventurers or ordinary people, this matter has become the hottest topic right now.

In the tavern, you can hear adventurers arguing fiercely about the odds, while on the streets, locals discuss the plot like they're watching a TV series.

Under the watchful eyes of countless people both inside and outside the city, preparations for the war game were completed step by step.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

The center of Orario, the thirtieth floor of the Tower of Babel.

In the assembly hall, where rows of massive pillars supported the towering ceiling, only a huge round table was placed. At this moment, almost all of Orario's gods had gathered here.

The rules and format of the war game will be finalized at this temporary assembly of gods, with the consent of the two chief gods of the opposing faction and taking into account the opinions of other gods, in order to create the best entertainment.

Both Fucarus and Apollo, representing the two sides in the war, arrived on time.

For the gods, war games are also a rare and top-notch form of entertainment, each one keeping them excited for a long time.

First, under the supervision of the surrounding gods, Fucarus and Apollo completed the necessary signing and formalities.

"If I win, I will burn my feathers."

Apollo's tone left no room for argument. He didn't even bother to ask Fucarus what she wanted. "—I only need to make this clear so that you won't come up with a bunch of ridiculous excuses to bother me later. If Fucarus is the winner, I will accept any request you make."

Apollo, who had no doubt that he could win, only emphasized the ownership of the Burning Feathers—including the smooth faction transfer.

While Fucarus remained silent, he instructed the deity responsible for recording the proceedings of the meeting to write this down in writing.

But he didn't notice that beneath Fucarus's slightly lowered eyelids, a faint smile played at the corners of his lips.

She wasn't worried at all about this war game.

Regardless of whether Apollo wins or loses, he cannot achieve his goal.

Not to mention that Fenyu has not been a member of the Fukaros Familia for a full year, so he cannot change his favor to "transfer his sect".

More importantly, in this world, apart from her, Fucarus, there was no other god who could bestow grace upon Fenyu.

Therefore, this war game was a zero-risk, guaranteed profit opportunity for her.

On the contrary, if Apollo lost, he would lose everything.

Moreover, she didn't think Fenyu would lose. The strength of the Apollo Familia was obvious, while the strength of the Fukaros Familia was not on the surface.

The robin's ascension magic is its biggest trump card, though whether it will be useful this time is another matter.
