"Because those 'high walls' are right in front of you, and you can't even see them, how can you possibly cross them?"
……
I learned this lesson from my own 'opponent'.
then……
"If one day I feel I am ready, I will put on that dress again and truly, honorably, compete against the 'strongest'."
Knowing she wasn't fully prepared... the goddess of beauty, who knew she wasn't 'qualified' enough, didn't consider herself 'victorious'.
Seven years ago, the embers of the 'strongest familia,' that 'monster of talent,' returned to Orario.
Along with him, another 'strongest' has also made a powerful comeback.
He and she had already entered the countdown to the end of their lives.
He and she only wished to turn into firewood in their final moments, becoming stepping stones for future generations, leading them to a higher vantage point where they could "view all the mountains from a higher perspective."
That day, the goddess of beauty put on her favorite gown... even though she still didn't think she was 'ready'.
But a fair and square battle must be witnessed by oneself.
That day, the War Pig surpassed its limits and avoided being devoured by [Gluttony].
That day, amidst the ruins of a city rebuilt from the ashes, people truly recognized the 'strongest' successor.
"The Freya Familia and the Loki Familia are still no good. If only the Zeus and Hera Families from back then were still around..."
Such comments are becoming increasingly rare.
Without a doubt, the goddess of beauty could completely use public opinion... or even directly use 'seduction' to prohibit such gossiping behavior.
But she wants to see the 'real'.
Since then, even though their own clan has gradually been regarded as a 'mad' group and feared by others.
But the title of 'strongest' has ultimately been firmly established.
However, the proud goddess of beauty knew that she was still 'not qualified'.
That's why she still didn't choose to stop there.
One day, by chance...
She met a very interesting child.
Despite being an ordinary person who is the 'weakest', he uttered the most 'disrespectful' words with an indifferent attitude.
That was the moment she met him and their relationship began.
That child always brought her unexpected 'surprises'.
There are too many unknowns about him.
She thought she had found her 'Ode' (the goddess of beauty).
But later, she gradually realized that what she wanted was the pure 'one', not the chaotic 'whole'.
That kind of radiance would seem unattainable to her.
In fact, at first, she did sense a sense of distance and wariness from the child.
However, as time goes by, this distance is constantly being narrowed.
until today……
Welcome home.
"My Valkyrie."
Even though only a small part of the soul's brilliance was revealed, the dazzling 'gold' still captivated her, making her feel... that it was still out of reach.
Today, it is truly the 'strongest'.
Yes, that must be a monster that even the 'strongest of the past' could not defeat.
But it not only defeated it, it even displayed a miracle that could be described as 'blasphemy'.
Now, what the gods are hoping for is this kind of 'unknown' hero who 'dares to defy even the gods'...
"No matter when, the only ones who can shoot down stars are 'nothing more' humans."
The dazzling light so close at hand made the goddess of beauty, who instinctively stepped forward to welcome her, want to retreat and dare not get too close.
but……
"Yes, I'm back."
"besides……"
He inadvertently took a half-step back, but was pulled back by the 'golden' girl.
She smiled, no longer feeling the initial slight estrangement of the past.
A slight smile curved the corners of their lips, like a child with an innocent heart, hoping to be praised by an elder, silently saying, "See? I'm amazing!"
after all……
"I won."
******
Even under the moonlight, there will always be shadows.
But people will not always rely on the original nature.
If everyone finds a worthy light to follow, they will then begin to gather firewood...
"What...what kind of monster is that?!"
Years ago, the "Killing Emperor" was a nightmare for countless people, but tonight he can only flee in panic.
She was like a self-satisfied clown; nobody noticed her arrival... and nobody knew she had run away again.
The golden strike that shattered the 'Strongest Arrow of Heaven' was only a faint afterglow, yet it nearly terrified this already insane woman to the point of complete madness.
To outsiders, it was undoubtedly a praiseworthy symbol of 'reliability'.
But in her mind, only 'fear' was etched.
"Absolutely, absolutely do not provoke that guy."
The madwoman's body was trembling uncontrollably, and her teeth were chattering.
She fled back to her 'nest' in a sorry state.
Presumably, it won't dare to cause trouble again anytime soon.
Chapter 188 After the War, the Gods Discuss
Two weeks later...
"Clang~ Clang~ Clang~"
Recently, the most frequent sound echoing within the labyrinth city of Orario has been the hammering of a group of craftsmen led by the Guberon Familia, which is primarily engaged in the "construction industry," in conjunction with the Hephaestus Familia and other forging factions.
On the main street, people come and go, and every now and then you can see carts carrying timber and rubble passing by.
Indeed, the world-ending disaster caused by the 'Secret Realm Scorpion', originating from the depths of the Great Tree Sea, has finally passed completely.
However, the losses calculated afterward clearly failed to make everyone happy.
first……
The Tower of Babel collapsed.
On the night of the final battle, this massive building crashed into the 'Urban Seventh District - Old Town,' destroying most of the houses and causing countless deaths and injuries.
At the same time, Scorpio's clone invaded the 'Urban Third District - Slums Street', causing widespread destruction and resulting in the loss of many more lives.
Moreover, not only that...
The dungeon rioted upon sensing the presence of 'divine power,' and the adventurers responsible for guarding the bottom defenses of the Tower of Babel suffered heavy casualties.
Of course, compared to these numbers, there is one other region where something happened that is even more shocking.
The border defense line of Dashuhai.
Originally, the number of adventurers gathered there was as many as several thousand.
The Kingdom of Lachia also dispatched tens of thousands of troops to assist in the defense.
However, after the battle, the number of survivors totaled less than two thousand.
Legend has it that an unknown 'prayer priest' went to the scene immediately after the war and performed another 'miracle' to save the dying survivors.
Of course, on Orario's side, many people were also seriously injured, but their lives were saved thanks to the combined efforts of the 'Prayer Priest', the 'Battlefield Saintess' of the Deankait Familia, and several healers from the Freya Familia...
Even today, many people are praising the birth of the 'savior hero'.
However, at the same time, whether it's because it doesn't concern them and they're indifferent, or because they're too grief-stricken to recall it... in short, people subconsciously choose to temporarily forget those painful memories.
Life must go on.
After wiping away the tears, we still have to fight for 'tomorrow' and cannot stand still.
And today...
"Let's use it one more time at most."
The location is the headquarters of Hephaestus's Familia, in the personal residence of the chief god Hephaestus.
At this moment, Freya, Loki, Artemis... and Hermes were all gathered here.
Among the gods, on a round table, lay the divine weapon known as the 'Arrow of Orion'.
Just now, the top forging god in the celestial realm gave his judgment.
"What terrifying power! Even divinely crafted weapons cannot withstand it."
A mature, red-haired woman wearing an eye patch couldn't help but exclaim, "I never imagined that the 'hero' we (the gods) had been waiting for would appear in this form."
Hearing her say that...
"They can actually 'combine'?"
