Wrong Ground, Spiral Twins

"If he can maintain this growth rate, he should be able to fight Bert head-on in five months."

Loki narrowed his eyes and smiled slightly, "Bert is so serious, probably because he feels this."

Finn nodded.

With his terrifying growth rate, he would be at least an upper LV.3, or even a peak LV.3, and it would be possible for him to break into LV.4 in five months. By then, with his limit-breaking basic ability and super-standard magic, it would not be an exaggeration to say that he could fight Bert, who was at the peak of LV.5.

"How about the other one?"

"Although the shorty's breasts are disgusting, she is definitely not someone who would break the rules easily, in every aspect."

Finn understood. "That is indeed a very rare prototype. It only takes a little over a month to upgrade. The newcomers nowadays are really more outrageous than the last."

"But if two people like this stay in the same nest, there will be a lot of unhappy people."

Loki was smiling, a malicious smile.

"Our top priority right now is to conquer the man-made maze."

Finn, who was familiar with his own god, had to speak out a reminder.

"Don't worry, I won't be stupid enough to take action before that guy does."

One was a bit difficult at first, but now there were two, things became much simpler. When that crazy girl started snatching people away, she took advantage of the chaos to take one away, and she could also save one for the dwarf. This was not too much, was it?

"That's good."

As long as it doesn't cause the other party to reject him, Finn will not object to snatching people away.

Who would object to having a new super potential star in the family?

"Calling people here for training, this must be intentional."

Finn smiled and pointed to another training ground, "It's working pretty well, isn't it?"

"Eager."

Loki did not give a direct answer, but his words directly revealed the hero's deepest worries.

Hearing this, the smile on Finn's face that had not yet disappeared suddenly turned bitter, and it was difficult to refute, "This tragic lesson is enough once."

In response to this, Loki could not help but remain silent.

Even during the great struggle, their casualties at one time were never so tragic.

There was silence for a long while, and finally Loki broke the silence by speaking, "Ais and Bert are very anxious."

It is the restlessness that comes from wanting to improve oneself, wanting to challenge strong enemies, but being restricted from venting.

"Once Dione and the others and I have recovered a little, I will let Livilia take them down. Now the clan really needs them to make further progress."

The era when war could be suppressed simply by numbers has long ended.

In the present era which is called "God's Age", "quality over quantity" is the symbol of this era.

In modern times, even a newly upgraded team of four or five people can forcibly defeat an enemy force of over a hundred people of the same ethnic group. With the addition of some effective strategies, repelling an army of nearly a thousand is not completely impossible.

And when one steps into the realm of LV.5, known as the 'first level', every 'hero' has the potential to easily overturn the entire battle situation.

The biggest reason for their defeat this time was undoubtedly that they fell into a disadvantage in this area.

Chapter 149: Invitation to meet.

After lunch, two invisible figures left from the back door of the Dusk Hall.

Avoiding the main roads and constantly moving through the alleys, the two came to the old commercial district, and only when they stepped into the witch's hiding place did they reappear under the gaze of the shop owner dressed as a witch.

"Please wait here for me."

After Su Mo greeted the shop owner, he spoke to the people who came with him.

The blonde girl who served as a bodyguard nodded silently.

Su Mo quickly walked along the passage in the store to the underground laboratory. When he saw Firth, he also saw the familiar head. Even the key was there.

But if you think about it carefully, this is only natural.

Who could be more suitable to create magic tools than a sage who once created the Philosopher's Stone?

“Can it be manufactured?”

"We have some clues, but whether it can be manufactured or not still needs further confirmation. This also involves curses, which is an area I am not good at."

As Fels spoke, he stopped his research, took out a communication bead from the side and handed it to Su Mo.

"I'm causing trouble for you."

At this moment, Su Mo felt that his face was not as thick as he thought.

"Every bit of combat power is good now, especially when it comes to dealing with the dark factions. Ji Feng is indeed a very suitable candidate."

Su Mo put away the communication bead and took out two keys from it. "Where are these keys from?"

This was the question he wanted to ask last night, but without the communication bead, he had no choice but to wait until now.

"The exquisite one is the key to the second room on the thirty-seventh floor of the Tower of Babel. The Guild has taken back all of the Ikelos family's property in Orario, and this key is one of them. The other one is the key to the second secret warehouse that you and I visited together that day."

What a gift!

The Tower of Babel, the first floor and the basement floor are lobby, the second and third floors are public facilities, the fourth to twentieth floors are commercial floors that can be rented, and above the twentieth floor, most of them are the residences of gods.

The value and status symbol of a house in the Tower of Babel are secondary. The most important thing is that there is probably no safer place in the whole of Orario.

As for the second key, you don’t need to think too much to know what is in the secret warehouse at the second location you visited.

This is the reward settlement!

"Is this what the old god meant?"

Su Mo confirmed.

This point is still very important. If this is what the old god meant, then His attitude towards Himself is very clear.

"Yes, this is an order given by Uranus himself."

As he spoke, Fels picked up the key to the artificial maze beside him and gestured, "It's also the bounty for bringing it back, but the guild can't give it openly, so I have to hand it over to you."

"Say thank you for me."

"I'll pass it on."

Fels put down the key and continued, "There is another god who wants to see you. He said he will visit you soon."

"Who?"

"The god Hermes, who accepted the commission from Uranus, has been secretly investigating the man-made labyrinth and the dark faction."

"..."

A figure wearing a feather hat quickly appeared in Su Mo's mind, and then, nothing happened.

Does this person really want to see him? I'm afraid he is just using him as a cover to meet Bell.

"Speaking of which, I also want to meet someone. Can you help arrange it?"

Fels felt strange, "Who do you want to see?"

"Heretic, a mermaid heretic whose tail can turn into two legs..."

……——……

As night falls, the Battle Wilderness falls silent.

"Not only was he secretly protected by Loki's family, but he even went to the Twilight Pavilion for training. What does Loki want to do?"

The embodiment of beauty gazed at the wilderness below and asked the people behind him without turning back.

"According to Finn, they are just carrying out the clan agreement."

Ota replied without any fluctuation in his voice: "He is willing to be the 'key' to open the door, and he made three requests beforehand, including 'protection' and 'training'."

"scoff~"

The goddess' chariot, the cat-man - Allen Furomo sneered when he heard this, "Even if this is true, don't Loki's family have other ideas?"

"Agree."

“There are many gods who want it.”

"We have suffered heavy losses, so it's a good time to recruit new people."

"Loki's family must be planning to target them."

The four Yanjin warriors, the four dwarf humans, spoke continuously.

"He needs training and protection. The Battle Wasteland is obviously more suitable for him."

The goddess looked at the wasteland and agreed with this statement, but she did not express her opinion on it. Instead, she asked again: "Hedin, what does the guild say about the artificial maze?"

Hearing the goddess's question, the White Demon's Wand - Hedinselland immediately responded: "I have read the report from Loki's family. The situation is already quite serious. The guild hopes to get our help."

"My old enemy, this is the best excuse. Let the guild offer the sacrifice!"

The nonsensical and immature words were a little hard to understand, but the white elf obviously had no difficulty understanding. He glanced at the black elf who spoke and said, "The guild will indeed send a key, but it will definitely not be him. The Loki family has already snatched a key, and two more keys are being made. As long as they can be made, one of them will be sent over."

In other words, there is no need for the guild to send the 'human-shaped key' now.

"What exactly did the report of Loki's Familia say?"

The cat-man asked impatiently.

"They only entered two gates before being forced to retreat. There is not much detailed intelligence."

Then Hedin repeated the information in the report.

A portal made of the hardest metal, a wall made of super-hard metal mixed with demon-killing stone, a thousand-year-old curse, a dark faction's lair, a large number of new monsters, fallen immortals, and resurrected monsters, even LV.7 appeared...

"It's a powder keg, really,"

The enemy was already right under their feet without them noticing and could explode at any moment, yet they had only received complete intelligence today.

"After making a key, he is now in a very dangerous situation. Can we let him cut ties with his clan and bring him back directly?"

The eldest son of the dwarf tribe asked as if suggesting something.

No one spoke, but just silently waited for the goddess' decision.

“…It will break!”

After a long time, the goddess let out a sigh.

"The darkness has not yet receded. If the light away from the fire begins to dim, it will inevitably be wrapped by darkness again. It is a piece of porcelain that has just been pieced together and is far from being complete... What I want is a beautiful finished product, not mud and sand that will break at the touch."

"Is it such a fragile thing?"

One of the Dwarfs couldn't help but frown.

“Strong and fragile at the same time.”

Freya turned around and explained with a smile, "His body can be knocked down a hundred or a thousand times, and he can stand up again without getting discouraged. As long as he is not completely dead, he will definitely get up again. But if his will is shaken or twisted, he may never be able to stand up again."

Chapter 150: Alternative Plan.

At night, Hestia's family temporarily stationed there.

The three people and one god sat at a table filled with various dishes and snacks, eating dinner in a strange manner.

As for why it was "a bit strange", it was because right behind Su Mo, a floating block of metal was constantly changing its shape, and in front of him, there were silver knives and forks sharing food, and long silver needles were flying in the air.

The knife and fork will break up the large portion of food, and the long needle will continuously string up the food like a skewer and send it into the mouth of someone or a god.

No matter how you look at it, this doesn't seem like a normal way to eat.

"So, Lord God, you were sent to the store by Hephaestus today?"

“I was just kicked out!”

Such behavior undoubtedly shows the attitude of the goddess Hephaestus.

Bell was fine after getting such confirmation, as he had never intended to force it from the beginning. On the contrary, Lililuka could not hide the disappointment on her face.
