The Fukaros Familia, starting from DanMachi.

Chapter 158 The Assembly of the Gods

"If it wasn't intentional, then his body and mind aren't completely unified yet," Riveria explained slowly. "This is a typical manifestation that occurs when the body can't perfectly control the surge in power after just completing an upgrade."

As for Fenyu, there was clearly no need for him to deliberately leave fingerprints on a coffee cup.

"No way—it really leveled up? This can't be right! How could it be so fast? This is cheating!"

Lefia was completely stunned, unconsciously murmuring to herself.

"I noticed something was wrong during his battle with the Apollo Familia."

Riveria continued her analysis.

"Even with the use of additional magic, his potential stats were still ridiculously high. Even Ais, when she first leveled up to Lv.2, couldn't have so easily suppressed a Lv.3 using [Wind Spirit Swiftness] at full power. The only possibility is that after reaching Lv.2, he rapidly increased his stats to an astonishing level, allowing him to demonstrate the power to crush a Lv.3 Sun's Light Pet Emperor in that war game, and then use that achievement to level up in one fell swoop."

"Waaah————"

Lefia let out a groan, "So he's now... Lv.3? That's the same level as me!"

She still clearly remembers that when she first met Fenyu, he was a Lv.1 newbie challenging Lv.2 monsters.

I felt like I was dreaming.

"Today is the day of the Assembly of the Gods, Frinina, why don't we send Fucaros out and let her go?"

Early in the morning, Funina was already dressed in a gorgeous gown, looking full of fighting spirit.

Looking at her from the side, Fenyu couldn't help but make a suggestion, still a little worried.

"What? Are you looking down on me?"

Upon hearing this, Funina immediately became dissatisfied, put her hands on her hips, and glared at him angrily.

"It's just a small divine meeting. I, Lady Funina, guarantee I can handle it. Just wait at home for my good news."

"Whatever makes you happy."

Fen Yu showed a helpless expression.

Since Fufu is so interested, let her have her way.

Anyway, he knew that if anything went wrong, Fukaros would immediately "log in" to handle it.

"You're being a little too protective."

The robin, holding a cup of black tea, smiled and said, "Furina is also a goddess; she can handle this kind of thing."

"Yes, yes, the robin understands me best!"

With the support of the robin, Frynn instantly swelled up, proudly puffing out her small chest, which was slightly better than that of a certain Amazon from the Loki Familia, but still somewhat regrettable, like a general who had won a battle.

"This little thing is no problem for me. Watch me bring back a few impressive titles that will dazzle everyone."

"Then, I'll be right back."

Having said that, Funina walked out of the house with her head held high and her chest puffed out.

The so-called "Great Assembly of the Gods" was, in essence, a gathering planned by some of the gods to pass the long and boring time in the mortal realm.

Once a god has accumulated enough power and established a stable territory, it is easy for them to forget the hardships of life and enter a period of indolence known as "wise man's time."

With nothing much to do, the villagers learned to hang out with old friends from their hometown, chatting about trivial matters and gossip to pass the time.

To put it bluntly, it was originally just a god-like version of a "chat group".

However, the number of "group members" participating in these gatherings increased day by day, and the scale of the gatherings also expanded accordingly.

As times have changed, the purpose of the event has also changed.

It has evolved from a platform for casual chatting to one for sharing the latest information and exchanging important opinions.

Thus, the gathering was no longer just an exchange among the Spring Clan, but became a formal "event" in cooperation with the guild, with influence spreading throughout the entire city.

Although it is almost nominal, the "Assembly of the Gods" has gained official recognition from the guild and has evolved into a de facto advisory body with a certain amount of power and influence that can even extend to the entire adventurer community.

Awarding prestigious titles to adventurers who have achieved "great feats" has now become one of the most anticipated and customary aspects of the process.

"I heard there are a lot of kids getting promoted this time."

"Yes, I've heard about it too. It's going to be a bumper harvest season. I really look forward to it."

The assembly of the gods was held on the thirtieth floor of the Tower of Babel, located in the center of the city.

The interior structure of this modified tower takes up the area of ​​an entire floor.

All the partitions were demolished, and a row of thick, long giant pillars lined up to support the exaggeratedly high ceiling.

The space was spacious enough for a dragon to roll around in, with only a huge round stone table in the center and no other furniture.

In the distance, the walls are lined with huge floor-to-ceiling windows, surrounded by a 30-story-high azure sky.

Because of the unusually high ceiling, the entire space resembles a temple floating above the clouds.

"Wow, there are more and more gods showing their faces here."

"Hehe, but many gods have also disappeared."

"For example—Apollo, hahahaha!"

"Hilarious, nobody sympathizes with him at all."

There were at fixed intervals around the round table, and even a casual count would reveal that there were more than thirty gods sitting there.

This means that in Orario today, there are at least this many clans that possess the strength to rival high-level adventurers, i.e., those at Lv.2 and above.

All sorts of deities attended the meeting.

There were young male gods with tightly pursed lips and barely concealing their nervousness, mysterious figures wearing comical giant masks that obscured their expressions, and silver-haired goddesses with their eyes slightly closed and a faint smile on their lips, quietly waiting for the meeting to begin.

Unlike the "Feast of the Gods," where formal attire is required, the dress code here is very free, and each god can wear whatever they like.

Meanwhile, Funina sat upright in her own spot, idly observing the other gods.

Of course, she was also the focus of the entire event.

Almost all the gods, intentionally or unintentionally, scrutinized this newly promoted chief god who had just overthrown an old superior clan in an incredible way in the war game, with eyes full of scrutiny, curiosity, amusement, and even a hint of fear.

"What a surprise, you're so calm, Fucaros. Didn't Brother Fenyu tell you what I'm going to do today?"

A slightly mocking voice rang out beside Funina.

She turned her head and looked at Hermes, the handsome man with blond hair and yellow eyes wearing a travel hat, and just snorted disdainfully.

"Whatever, I'll take it."

Of course, Fenyu had told her that Hermes was going to cause trouble at this divine assembly, but would Lady Fenina be afraid of that?

"This is really... Did I miss some important information?"

Hermes looked exaggeratedly surprised, then, as if remembering something, a glint of light flashed in his eyes.

"Wait, could he have... leveled up again?"

Hermes quickly began to calculate in his mind.

Burning Feather's first level-up was ridiculously fast. If his growth rate didn't slow down after leveling up, then the feat of defeating the Apollo Familia would be enough to give him a massive amount of experience points, allowing him to break through the level barrier in one fell swoop.

"Hmph, you're quite clever."

When Funina saw that he had guessed correctly, a smug and proud smile immediately appeared on her face, and the upturned corners of her mouth were not concealed.

"Wait, Fucarus, is something wrong with you?"

Hermes suddenly leaned closer, scrutinizing her with the eyes of someone studying a rare creature, and tentatively asked, "I've had a feeling for a long time that you wouldn't happen to be—schizophrenic, would you?"
