If one lacks the perseverance, mindset, and strength to pursue the latter...

"Thank you so much for bringing me here."

"Hey, young man, we're still a while away."

Seeing the boy jump off the carriage in his excitement, the middle-aged man subconsciously offered a word of advice.

"It doesn't matter……"

The boy with the innocent smile had already run away as he waved goodbye, saying, "I'm going to run (walk) the road ahead myself."

******

"Probably today~"

Wearing a total of ten pure black mithril rings on both hands, the black-haired youth, who was only 1.74 meters tall, was sitting with his legs crossed in a corner of the central square around the Tower of Babel, thinking to himself, "If nothing unexpected happens... and there is no 'butterfly effect,' that red-eyed rabbit boy should arrive in this labyrinth city today."

"However, I've already dealt with 'Scorpio' in advance, and now two of them have appeared at once... Is my little bit of precognitive information still useful?"

With these thoughts in mind, Ling Shu subconsciously looked up at the Tower of Babel, which was still under repair. "This thing was destroyed by Scorpio's clone before. Nothing like this ever happened in the original timeline."

Indeed, many things have quietly changed over the years.

Ais has already challenged Udeus once... though she failed.

The Loki Familia has begun cooperating with the Freya Familia... although the latter's attitude remains ambiguous.

The world has gained the "savior twins," a brother and sister duo... Although they know their own story, many important "insider secrets" cannot be revealed to the outside world.

and also……

"The goddess Artemis seems to be simply living in Orario lately and has no intention of recruiting any more members for her familia."

Thinking about this, Ling Shu couldn't help but feel a little sad.

After all, if it were him, and more than twenty familiar children suddenly died beside him... I'm sorry, whether it was an accident or intentional, the person who caused this tragedy would be reduced to ashes.

At this point, no matter who comes, it won't make a difference.

In short, even if Ling Shu only put himself in Artemis's shoes for a moment, he could deeply understand what kind of feelings Artemis was currently experiencing.

Perhaps, the latter only shows a more relaxed smile when he sees Barbara.

Now that you mention it...

"The rabbit boy has no 'ex-girlfriends' anymore."

Why do I feel inexplicably guilty?

"You might not believe it, but Barbara started it by accident."

Ling Shu felt that he shouldn't be the one to take the blame.

Yeah, he's the worst kind of scum.

By the way...

Speaking of the boy 'Bell Crane'... Ling Shu had actually considered 'directly stealing the blue ribbon goddess's beard' before.

However, after thinking it over, he was still somewhat conflicted.

On the one hand, as a transmigrator from the Celestial Empire, now that I've come to this world, how can I not get to know the 'protagonist'?

In particular, this is a 'protagonist' who doesn't evoke any ill feelings.

Moreover, he's a protagonist with a bunch of cheat codes.

Just look at all those main characters from the spin-offs...

Ais, Lefia, Ryu, Freya... I've already met them all.

And the last remaining main character of the story...

"If I were to interfere with his original trajectory, would 'Bell' still be the 'protagonist'?"

Ling Shu had thought about this question carefully.

After all, to digress a bit, this red-eyed rabbit boy might not only be the key to defeating the 'One-Eyed Black Dragon,' but he could also be very likely the 'Ode (the goddess's partner)' that Freya has been longing for.

To prevent my older sister from going back to her old, reckless ways and becoming public enemy number one...

"To be honest, I personally find this practice of causing immense suffering to the individuals involved through large-scale memory alteration quite repulsive."

So, nowadays, as a member of Freya's Familia... well, strictly speaking, I should be: half a member?

In short, Ling Shu didn't want to see his older sister go that crazy.

Therefore, whether it's for public or private reasons... well, it's all about 'selfishness'.

It was precisely because of these selfish motives that he had the idea of ​​"hijacking" the deal.

But, upon closer reflection...

Once, when my older sister sneaked out of Orario for a trip, she met a girl whose soul she liked very much.

However, in the end... the goddess of beauty did not choose to bring it back to Orario.

Freya knew that when that person was no longer where they should have been, but instead left with her, the corresponding soul would no longer shine, but would simply become something mundane.

So, here's the problem.

Suppose... a rabbit boy who joined Freya's Familia from the very beginning, and was sent to the 'battlefield' to undergo the baptism of fierce battles before his own mental state had been tempered... could he still become a 'hero'?

Of course, nothing is absolute. Some people, even in a different environment, will still shine brightly when the time is right.

Do heroes shape the times, or do the times shape heroes?

Nobody can say for sure.

and so……

"Since I don't know how to choose, I'll just 'go with the flow'."

Ling Shu is not someone who likes to dwell too much on a single matter.

Therefore, despite having this advantage of foresight, he did not intend to push things too hard.

Today, right here, he'll only be waiting in this central square for a short while...

If you do find a red-eyed rabbit boy, bring him into Frigga's Familia.

However, if an unexpected event occurs and the rabbit boy ends up joining Freya's Familia by mistake, no one will interfere.

Even if everything follows the original trajectory, the rabbit boy eventually joins the goddess Hestia's faction... that's also part of the 'story'.

In short, no matter which path you take...

"I definitely want to see the sibling-like romance between him and Ais."

"Hehe~"

Someone started acting inappropriately.

Chapter 198 The Adventurer's Most Needed Item

"What is most important to an adventurer?"

At the eastern gate of Orario, a bewildered white rabbit boy accidentally encountered a kind-hearted veteran adventurer—[Giant Fist Fighter] Hasana Dorria—while passing through the 'Guild' security check.

The latter, who belonged to the 'Ganesha Familia', found him quite pleasing to the eye and thought this boy who 'came to the dungeon seeking an encounter' was an interesting fellow, so he decided to casually share some of his own experiences.

That's why the question above arose.

at the moment……

"What's most important... Ha, first of all, it depends on whether you can meet a good deity."

Indeed, aside from those infamous 'evil gods', there are quite a few unscrupulous 'fun gods' within Orario.

If you encounter them... your girlfriend might get stolen away, and the other person just wants to 'play around'.

How utterly despicable!

At this moment, the white rabbit boy kept the advice of the experienced adventurer in mind.

"anything else?"

"And... oh, right."

A burly man with a massive sword slung over his shoulder and a claw scar over his left eye grinned. "Luck."

"This is the most important power for adventurers, after all... the lucky ones always live longer~"

As soon as he finished speaking, Uncle Hasana seemed to have other work to do. He casually patted the white rabbit boy on the back, and the Lv.4 level strength almost made the small boy fall to the ground with a "whoosh~".

"Keep it up, newbie."

The hearty laughter faded into the distance.

The white rabbit boy watched the other person's departing figure and felt that he was incredibly tall and imposing.

"This is what an 'adventurer' is all about!"

"Amazing!"

The longing in my heart grew stronger.

It was with this kind of drive (aspiration) that the boy stepped into the gates of Orario with great joy.

******

Meanwhile, inside the central plaza surrounding the Tower of Babel...

"Finally, I can go home!"

Tiona casually stretched, displaying her proud... well, her body without an ounce of excess fat to the fullest extent.

"Although this expedition to the 'deep' region wasn't tiring at all, the feeling of coming home is still the most comfortable."

Hearing her say that...

"Of course I'm not tired."

Tiony glanced sideways and interjected, "Not only can we get more supplies on the 50th floor, but we also don't need to return to transport the 'Cadmus Spring Water' we collect."

"There are delicious foods along the way... and you can even soak in hot springs anytime, anywhere. It's like being on vacation."
