Suddenly...

"It can be confirmed that this is a more difficult problem than the 'Scorpion Incident' that occurred in the Great Tree Sea."

Ying said seriously, "A few days ago, after I discovered these signs, I reported them to Sister Goddess (Freya)."

"And the instructions given by Sister Goddess were: I will be in full charge of this matter."

"At the same time, this is also the first priority that I and Kong have to deal with after being promoted to 'cadre'."

At this time, Ying changed her previous easygoing temperament and became very serious and methodical in her speech and actions.

Ota and the others didn't intend to disagree.

After all, although the eight heroes present had always clashed with each other in the past, they all had two things in common.

First, they all acknowledge the strength of the strong.

Second, if anything threatens our goddess, we should immediately unite against it.

Currently, the situation regarding 'Heavenly Fire' and Freya's instructions perfectly align with the above two points.

So……

What are your plans?

Allen, as the vice commander, was the first to ask a question.

Upon hearing this…

Ying and Kong exchanged a glance, and Kong finally spoke up to explain: "Next, I will leave Orario alone for a while and go to the 'Opera Country - Melstra' to find the whereabouts of another goddess of beauty, 'Aphrodite'."

"She probably knows how to enter the overseas permanent divine realm... that is, the 'Divine Capital-Olympia'."

"In short, the first step is to confirm the exact coordinates of the incident location."

"In this way, we won't be completely caught in a passive and awkward situation."

After hearing these words...

"Ah."

Allen nodded, then asked, "So what are we going to do?"

Three things.

At this point, it was Ying's turn to speak, "First of all, we must always ensure Sister Shen's safety... I think you all know what to do without me having to say it."

"Of course, when necessary, 'I' will also join the battle."

When Ying said those last words, she deliberately turned her head to look at Ota.

Because only this Lv.7 current guild leader knows the secret relationship between [Twin Stars] and 'Eastern Ling Shu'.

However, with the latter (the original body) recently making direct appearances and even going out to "play" with her own goddess and a small kin, Ota has actually begun to subconsciously separate it from the [Twin Stars].

After all, this pure warrior of pigman origin didn't like getting involved in complicated matters.

Without knowing Ling Shu's detailed [ability stats], he thought that Kong and Ying might also be 'Genshin Impact'.

The relationship between these two siblings and Ling Shu is somewhat similar to that between the goddess Freya and her maid Helen.

In this way...

"Yes, if necessary, if 'Durandal' can be deployed, with that 'Strongest Valkyrie' present, nothing should be able to harm Lady Freya."

Apart from Otta, who knew a little about it, everyone else... including Hedin, thought that what Ying mentioned at this moment was her trump card.

Clearly, the words just spoken were a unique expression whose 'true meaning' could only be understood by Ota.

The burly pigman nodded, indicating that he understood.

So……

"What about the remaining two things?"

Alfred Gulliver, the eldest son of the four Flame Warriors, asked, "This time, we're not going to be cooperating with the Loki Familia again, are we?"

"That's not it."

Ying chuckled and shook her head.

She knew that the eight heroes present each had their own conflicts with their sworn enemies from previous years.

If we had to say, it would probably be only Otto and Hedin who are able to calmly assess the situation.

In this situation...

"I need you all to carry out the work of 'monitoring' and 'preparing for war'."

"!"

Ying's simple words instantly made the atmosphere of the conversation inside the 'Round Table' extremely solemn.

"Tell me, who do you want to kill?"

Berlin's eyes flashed with murderous intent, his face displaying an expression that said, "I know this stuff inside and out."

The others weren't much better off.

Even Otta and Hedin felt a sense of unease rising from their backs.

Seeing this...

"I think that while dealing with external problems, we must also thoroughly clean up the 'internal' aspects of Orario."

"Otherwise, when it comes to the crucial moment, someone might take advantage of the chaos and ruin everything."

"And starting from this line of thinking..."

Ying raised her right hand, extending her five fingers. "The tentative targets are four clans and one fugitive."

"I hope that you brothers will keep a close watch on these five targets for the time being."

"We must not act rashly."

"because……"

She glanced around at the people around the round table. “Every single one of these targets involves the main force of the ‘Evilus’ faction, which has been developing in the shadows in recent years.”

"If I alert the enemy beforehand, all the important intelligence I have worked so hard to gather will become useless pieces of paper."

"Therefore, everyone, please remember this."

Ying summoned Paimon, who was in hiding, and after confirming that there was no possibility of being overheard, she said seriously, "The information I am about to say cannot be discussed in any way after we leave this room."

"Everyone, just keep this in mind."

"From now on, the exchange of intelligence can only take place within this 'round table'."

Seeing that she spoke so formally, the 'Eight Heroes' all nodded in agreement.

immediately……

"First, let me tell you who the targets we need to keep a close eye on are..."

Ying took a deep breath. "Ishtar Familia, Ikelos Familia, Dionysus Familia, Thanatos Familia."

"And... there's a one-armed cat-man named 'Jarlo Halma,' who only has one ear left."

Chapter 257 Given time, Orario will have only one voice.

Without a doubt, the faction names and individual names mentioned by Ying at this moment are all villains who, in the original future trajectory of the current world, directly or indirectly caused great damage to Orario.

Among them are evil gods who attempt to destroy the entire labyrinth city and hope that the entire lower realm will return to the chaotic and tragic environment of ancient times, as well as... scum who simply enjoy causing trouble and taking pleasure in harming others.

Previously, Ling Shu knew that he lacked strength and influence, so based on his cautious and prudent approach, he did not rush to become the so-called 'messenger of justice'.

But now, after months of accumulation and growth, he has established his dominance. Even if he never truly had the awareness to become a 'hero,' it's time to deal with these filthy and despicable people.

Yes, Ling Shu would never have such pretentious thoughts as 'These villains can be left for Bell to deal with, which can be considered as stepping stones for this white rabbit boy to gain experience'.

What, nothing better to do? Just bored and looking for trouble?

Ultimately, when it comes to 'sharpening oneself', one dungeon is enough.

As for the rest, just take them down if they like to cause trouble, so they won't get in the way anymore.

After all, this entire lower realm is real reality, not just a simple simulation game... at least that's true for Ling Shu right now.

Given this premise... after all, he's been hailed as a 'savior' by so many people, so occasionally doing some things that a 'hero' should do, even if it's not about responding to the selfish expectations of those strangers in a grand and righteous way, at least it's not a disgrace to this title.

Some say that the purpose of 'heroes' is to end the chaotic world filled with tragedies, and in the hope that one day they can usher in a beautiful, peaceful era that 'does not need heroes'.

Ling Shu felt that although this statement was somewhat biased and ambiguous, it still made some sense if one approached it with the right mindset and didn't get stuck on it.

It was precisely because of these decisions...

"...Please, my brothers, during this period of time, consider the overall situation as much as possible and do not act on your own."

"Because our immediate goal is to completely eradicate the remaining roots of the 'dark faction' in order to prevent future troubles."

"so……"

After sharing all the 'prescient' information she knew, and having said everything that could be said, Ying was only halfway through her closing remarks...

"We can understand these principles."

Hedin interjected, "After all, Orario is the backyard ruled by the goddess. It is indeed a dereliction of duty to let those pests run rampant in the shadows."

He looked at Ying and said, "Don't worry, we will all follow your arrangements this time."

"Gentlemen, no objections, right?"

It's not hard to see that this blond-haired white elf, who was originally qualified to take the position of 'vice leader,' is once again using his own methods to promote Ying, just like his radical actions in the Great Tree Sea before.

And upon hearing his question...

"嘁~"

Allen was the first to speak, "I have no objection."

"Anyway, we'll have to take action sooner or later. Just let me know when the time comes."

In fact, what Allen said at this moment reflected the attitude of everyone else present.

It's worth noting that when Ying shared information earlier, when she mentioned the secret plans of the Ikelos Familia, the Thanatos Familia... and even the Dionysus Familia, the others didn't react much.
