Is there something wrong with playing Genshin Impact in the dungeon?

"I say, isn't something a little off?"

Inside the headquarters of the Frigg Family, 'Misty Garden', Ling Shu lay on his large bed in his bedroom, his hands behind his head, looking at his ceiling, which was still relatively unfamiliar at the moment but would soon become familiar, and felt quite speechless.

He had wanted to complain about this for months:

"Huh? Why is it that since I came to Orario, not only have the 'world-ending' level disasters in the local area occurred much earlier, but the difficulty keeps increasing?!"

The same thing happened last time. The 'Scorpio Incident' in the Great Tree Sea broke out several months in advance, and 'Antares/Andaris' was even super-enhanced. In the end, it even gave birth to 'Scorpio/Scobbin', who was born with inferior divine power.

Let's look at this time...

Originally, I thought that dealing with that corrupted ancient hero would be enough, but then, with a 'whoosh,' two more gods I'd never heard of before popped up.

Ling Shu knew, of course, that in ancient Greek mythology, Helios was the sun god, while Phaethon was a disgraceful second-generation god.

It's not surprising that these two deities would appear inside the DanMachi world.

but……

"Damn it, these two weren't even in the original Trails of Vesta!"

Well, although Ling Shu kept telling himself not to rely too much on the foresight brought by the 'plot,' when the names Helios and Phaethon came out of Prometheus's mouth... he knew that the plot could go to hell.

Furthermore...

"So, this time I'm going to directly confront a 'god-level enemy comparable to unleashing divine power,' right?"

hahaha~

Blanch!

Ling Shu wanted to give up.

Yes, he had already 'devoured' several gods before, but those were all results of exploiting bugs.

As for the golden goose created by combining the 'Trinity' skill with 'Orion's Arrow'...

Back then, she did indeed directly confront 'Smite' head-on.

But that was the strongest arrow from the heavens, which was 'not fully prepared'.

Now, he's actually being asked to confront a real, god-like enemy...

"I'm actually a coward."

Even today, Ling Shu has never thought of becoming a real 'hero,' and he didn't even 'fight' hard when he achieved his 'great feats' in the past.

He didn't want to fight a battle where victory wasn't guaranteed.

Subconsciously, Ling Shu, who was lying on the bed with his legs crossed, asked Paimon to take out the god-slaying weapon that Artemis had given to the Twin Stars—the 'Arrow of Orion'—from his spatial backpack.

Holding it in one hand, I looked at the crystal at its tip, which had already developed a crack...

"Although I can now create 'Indeterminate Magic Books', this divine weaponry... ultimately consumes too much energy."

"If only I could have one more... hmm?"

Ling Shu's expression shifted.

He seemed to have thought of something.

Not long after...

"Huh? That's right!"

He sprang up from the bed, slapped his thigh, and exclaimed, "Don't people (gods) in Orario have the ability to create weapons like that?"

Hephaestus, the Goddess of Forging

She was also Hestia's best friend.

If... if it were to save the life of her friend, surely that red-haired woman with the eye patch would be willing to help, right?

Based on this...

"Let's broaden our thinking. If the goddess Hephaestus is willing to help forge a god-slaying weapon, then we can have the 'Emperor' and the 'General' lend a hand... which might make up for her inability to use 'divine power' in the mortal realm."

Thinking about it this way...

"Mmm~"

Ling Shu instructed Paimon to put the 'Orion's Arrow' back into his spatial backpack, while he himself rested his chin on his hand and nodded to himself, "Now, at least we've come up with a feasible plan... a draft."

Let's put it into practice tomorrow.

With these thoughts in mind, Ling Shu finally felt at ease and fell asleep.

******

Meanwhile, as Ling Shu peacefully closed his eyes, he was unaware that...

"What a coincidence, Prometheus."

"..."

Wearing her pajamas, Xi'er stood with her arms crossed at the entrance of the hallway leading to Ling Shu's bedroom.

They are like guardian deities.

And in her field of vision...

"It's so late, and I'm really... really curious about the fact that you've kindly offered me a place to stay at the camp."

Seele gazed at the blue-eyed girl (god), smiling kindly, "What are you planning to do?"

"You're not going to come up with some old, tired excuse like 'I didn't know where the restroom was, so I got lost,' are you?"

Upon hearing this…

Why should I make excuses?

Prometheus put his hands on his hips, puffed out his chest, and although his expression was like that of an ice queen, his tone of voice sounded rather... proud?

Or rather: open and honest?

In short...

"I'm going to 'attack at night,' it's a classic trope."

"..."

This time, Seele was speechless.

Seeing this...

“We once made a lifelong vow together, so all his ‘firsts’ must be mine.”

The goddess of foresight made this sound perfectly natural.

And Seele heard this...

"and many more."

Her expression was strange. "All the 'first times'?"

"Could it be that you..."

"Hmm~"

Prometheus's lips curled into a slight smile. "Today alone, my first kiss, got it~√"

"..."

Seele fell silent.

"Huh?"

The gray-haired girl (goddess) laughed... well, a little morbidly, "So the fox spirit has turned into a 'flirtatious cat' now~"

"Indeed, it should have been eliminated as soon as possible..."

"唪~"

As soon as Seele made a move, Prometheus moved even faster.

She instantly appeared beside the former, covered the gray-haired girl's (god's) mouth with one hand, and slammed her to the ground.

"Oh? Are you sure you want to be my enemy?"

Prometheus gave a dangerous smirk. "You seem to have misunderstood something."

"I don't actually have any good feelings towards you. I'm only cooperating with your arrangements to avoid causing trouble."

"But if you attempt to break my 'eternal covenant,' then..."

"Om~"

A faint purple light seemed to flash in Seele's eyes.

Although she didn't know why Prometheus, as a goddess, could use extraordinary powers in the mortal realm.

But... as a goddess of beauty, she also has her own 'secret weapon'.

At this very moment, the power of 'Charm' is activated at full capacity...

"..."

Prometheus gritted his teeth and tried his best to resist this terrifying method that could be described as the 'highest level of mental attack'.

However, this stalemate was merely a temporary stalemate. She cleverly borrowed the power of the 'Heavenly Fire' to directly gain a boost to her [ability points] through the method of 'divine grace bestowed upon her by the gods'... and was thus greatly weakened.

then……

"That...what?"

Seele took the initiative, using her previously practiced contortionist techniques to pin Prometheus down. (PS: When Ray and the others were playing hide-and-seek with Seele, they couldn't even touch the hem of her clothes.)

"You speak with such authority, but in reality, that's all you're capable of?"

"Heh~"

Prometheus snorted coldly, and his eyes seemed to flicker with fire.

She slightly broke free from the constraints of her 'charm' power, and then...

The two goddesses started fighting right at the entrance of the building.

Not far away...
