I have a hero simulator

Having said that, the next step is to show your true abilities in person.

"Well, see you tomorrow."

"I hope you are ready." Hephaestus suddenly felt a little strong-willed. As a god who constantly honed her skills to the pinnacle on the road of forging, she also wanted to see the amazing works of other forging gods.

...

the other side.

After leaving the Hephaestus Family's forge shop.

"I'm sorry!" Hestia sighed, then said weakly, "I'm sorry for letting you witness such an embarrassing scene!"

"What do you think my chances of winning against her are?"

Shen Yuan did not blame Hestia's thoughts, but changed the subject to himself.

"Zero...you underestimate her."

Hestia smiled bitterly and shook her head. The blue ribbon on her petite loli body trembled slightly, as if she was unable to calm down.

"Lady Hestia, I don't think Brother Volibear will lose!"

The rabbit girl Belle said quickly, obviously she didn't understand the horror of the God of Forge.

"Belle, you're still young, so you probably don't know Hephaestus's identity. She's the child of Zeus and Hera. After becoming the main gods of Olympus, her family built a magnificent palace for the gods. As for the artifacts created by her family, they're countless!"

Hestia grew emotional, then counted on her fingers, saying, "She made the Aegis shield for Zeus, the Bacchus staff for Dionysus, the sun chariot for Helios, the golden and silver arrows for Eros, and invulnerable armor for Achilles, the son of the sea goddess Thetis. She also molded Pandora from clay and created the metal giant Talos. Even the chains that sealed the black dragon and imprisoned Prometheus were forged by Hephaestus, though she was deeply saddened by this."

"Oh my God!"

Belle was stunned with fear. Just by hearing the name, you could tell that any of these artifacts were not simple.

"Then Big Brother is doomed to fail!"

Because they are from the same clan and call themselves family, Belle sometimes calls Shen Yuan brother, after all, he is the senior who joined the clan first.

Secondly, Zeus had many offspring, and the ethical relationships in Greek mythology are very complicated.

Therefore, the family relationship between the gods is very weak, and don't expect Belle, as a granddaughter, to gain any benefits from Hephaestus, who is a daughter.

"Lose? That may not be the case!"

The demigod bear used its claws to depict the image of 'Ornn' on a drawing board, as if sketching.

"what is this?"

Hestia looked over curiously, and Belle leaned over as well, saying, "A... fiery, aggressive ram?"

"Onn was the first of my demigod brothers and sisters. Immediately upon his birth, he leaped onto the world's stage, eager to stretch his muscles. He radiated fire, snapping trees with a touch and melting icebergs with a touch. He struck a mountain with his fist, and it shook, but did not collapse. Excited, Ornn felt the entire continent as his comrade in battle."

The sketches also showed several scenes of 'Oun' creating the world like Pangu and forming the mountains and the earth.

Ornn wrestled with the earth, smashing and clawing, and eventually the mountains of the Freljord formed. He headbutted mountains from the flat ground and carved deep valleys. When he finally grew tired and thanked the earth for a glorious duel, a fiery crater formed in the earth, revealing its core. Ornn was proud. He had triumphed over the earth, and so the earth recognized his skill and granted him the power of the primordial fire. This is how Ornn went from the most irascible earth god to the god of fire, and time tamed his temper, and he became the god of the forge.

The demigod giant bear told such a mythical story as if he was recalling the background story. Belle listened with admiration, while Hestia looked thoughtful.

"I heard you're Ornn's brother? You two must be very close."

"No, it's terrible."

The demigod bear shook his head and continued, "My brother hated me because I often asked him for equipment to equip his army of bearmen! Ornn was never tired of it, but he often compromised. Until one day, when I asked him for equipment again, Ornn decided not to indulge me anymore."

In the background story, Ornn rejected Volibear's unreasonable request. Who knew that Volibear, the demigod giant bear, would be so shameless, or would turn a favor into a grudge.

Volibear said: "Brother, you usually give me equipment, why don't you give it to me this time? If you don't give it to me, I will take it myself!"

As he spoke, the giant bear went to Ornn's furnace with bad intentions to snatch the equipment.

Unexpectedly, Ornn didn't want to fight with Volibear at all. Flames flashed on his giant horns, and he seemed to be angry.

"Volibear, if I see you again, I'll beat the living hell out of you!"

But Ornn's anger played exactly into Volibear's hands.

Because Volibear is not a good guy. He was deliberately provoking Ornn, and then dragged a piece of armor out of his furnace in front of the other party.

"roll!"

Ornn couldn't take it anymore.

A pair of horns collided with Volibear with such force that even the mountaintops were shaken.

"You were the one who started it, brother. Don't blame me for turning my back on you!"

Volibear was originally jealous of Ornn's group of lovely "followers", and now, after being attacked, the Thunder Bear was completely enraged.

They fought for eight days.

The gods' fight was so fierce that the bases of the mountains trembled, molten ore gushed out from the top of the furnace, lightning struck the mountain densely, and fountains of fire erupted from the cracks in the cliffs.

The sky was red and black.

The earth trembled, and the blood in the heart of the world flowed freely on the highlands.

People from all over the Freljord witnessed the battle between Volibear and Ornn.

But soon they all died. When gods fight, mortals suffer. The Thunder Bear deliberately directed its power to these mortals, causing their death and destruction, leaving only a smoldering ruin.

Hundreds of years later, thick smoke billowed out from the huge pit on the top of the mountain from time to time, but Ornn disappeared.

Some say that having lost his 'family', Ornn has been watching over his furnace, preventing the underground fire from spreading into the world.

Others say that perhaps Ornn is forging a great weapon that will one day come in handy.

Then, history only remembered the name of Volibear, the Thunder Bear, and the immortal thunder of the God of Storm and Wildness, but forgot the name and legend of Ornn.

"What a sad story."

Belle looked up at Shen Yuan, a tear in her eye: "Why are you so mean? What happened to Ornn?"

"That's right! I didn't expect that even brothers could kill each other for profit!"

Hestia was also a little sad. She didn't expect that such a great god would be harmed by his own brother.

"In short, this is a myth, a story passed down through the Giant Bear Clan from generation to generation. Also, don't look at me like that. I'm a demigod who inherited the power of [Immortal Thunder]. That doesn't mean I'm the Bear God, so don't get me confused."

Shen Yuan repeatedly emphasized that the background story is for reference only and should not be taken seriously.

"So, how did you learn Ornn's smithing skills?"

"Even if you haven't eaten pork, have you seen pigs run? You'll learn it by osmosis. First of all, the most important thing when forging equipment is the material. Secondly, treat the equipment like a lover."

Before he finished speaking, the demigod giant bear struck his hammer, and soon a piece of armor appeared in his hand.

"Belle, this one is for you."

"What is this?" Belle was stunned, looking at the equipment "Aura Cloak" that appeared in front of her like a miracle.

It looks like a translucent magic equipment, and its surface sparkles with pure magical luster. The color will change with the environment. The effect is to reduce the cooldown time of one's own magic and skills, improve concentration, and release powerful moves faster.

"this is for you."

Having said this, Shen Yuan handed the indigo cloak to Belle without hesitation and stuffed it into her chest.

"This equipment is called the 'Aura Cloak,' a magic item. Also, I've made you a pair of 'Sprinting Boots,' also a magic item. This way you can run even faster!"

While Belle was thinking that this was enough and she would be satisfied, Shen Yuan created equipment with amazing magical powers one after another.

Equipment made by low-level blacksmiths does not have any additional effects.

However, high-level blacksmiths can create equipment that enhances adventurers' abilities. This type of equipment is usually called "rare items" and is a relatively rare treasure in the game.

There is no doubt that the process of crafting these equipment seems simple, but they consume rare materials from extremely deep dungeon lords, and require extremely high luck to be able to explode.

This set of magical equipment is protective gear that even level 5 adventurers would be excited about.

"No, no, no, this is too expensive!"

Belle quickly turned her head away and refused.

It’s not that she didn’t like them, but she felt that these things were too luxurious and too expensive, and she didn’t get the value of this equipment.

"Tomorrow is the forging competition. There will be even more equipment then, so you don't have to be polite."

These days I've been farming materials and getting magic stones in the dungeon.

Waiting for such a day.

The Winter Claw tribe has reached the border of the 60th floor. Everything is ready now, except for the assault on the ground!

Chapter 179: The Banquet of the Gods! Loki and Freya!

Amidst the chattering of the crowds, Orario Plaza Street was already surrounded by noisy adventurers in the early morning.

From early morning to noon, many adventurers heard about the [God of Forging] competition in Orario, which attracted a large number of people.

"What is this? A new ad?"

"Could it be that it looks like we need to get new equipment again?"

“I hope there won’t be any profiteers hoarding goods this time!”

In the labyrinth city of Orario Plaza, with the skyscraper facility 'Tower of Babel' as its center, a lime wall rising to the sky was erected in the center of the vast city, surrounding the entrance to the underground city.

This is the entrance for adventurers to the dungeon, and now, a duel is taking place here.

The two sides of the competition were the red-haired and red-eyed goddess Hephaestus and a giant bear clan with milky white hair. Both sides were extremely powerful and occupied a high platform of a forge, surrounded by a crowd cheering for them.

In this "most lively city in the world", not only adventurers are attracted here, but also some "Gods".

Compared to the adventurers who pursued the unknown and mystery and enjoyed entertainment, the "Gods" naturally did not want to miss such a lively duel. Moreover, it was the "God of Craftsmen" who none of them dared to offend. At this moment, almost most of the "Gods" supported Hephaestus.

"A forger actually dared to challenge Hephaestus. I'm speechless. Are all mortals so brave nowadays?"

"Another pretentious and face-slapping plot? Boring, it feels like we're bullying these guys."

"Come to think of it, it's so lively this morning. I haven't attended the 'Feast of the Gods' in a while."

On the upper floors of the Orario skyscraper.

An unprecedented number of gods formed a huge group and came to the scene, seemingly to support Hephaestus.

"Yo!"

"Oh, long time no see. Hundreds of years, right?"

"Yeah, just a few days."

"Ah, it's been such a long time since we last met. You seem to have changed a lot."

"Were you also invited by Hephaestus? This 'Skills Contest' seems quite interesting. Who is your opponent?"

On a high building platform that exudes a majestic atmosphere.

A handsome man and a stunningly beautiful woman, dressed in gorgeous clothes and looking like royalty, walked in with smiles on their faces.

They, all of them, are gods.

Guests at the 'God's Banquet' hosted by the Hephaestus Family today.

To put it simply, the "Feast of the Gods" is a meeting where the gods who have descended to the underworld can meet each other.

There are no regulations on which god will hold the ceremony or when it will be held.

It is only held by the gods who want to hold it, and only the gods who want to participate can participate.

It fully demonstrates the capriciousness and unrestrainedness of the divine nature.

"Thank you all for gathering here! I'm Hephaestus! I'm honored and grateful to have so many of my fellow Greeks here with us! From now on, any Familiar member who comes to my shop to buy equipment can get a 10% discount by mentioning the main deity's name! So, what I'm going to talk about next is the God of Forge competition. My opponent is a member of Hestia's Familia, brother of Ornn, the "Forge God." The competition will see who crafts equipment of superior quality. Anyone who can surpass mine will have a place in the Hephaestus family's business!"

"Anyway, please take good care of me, everyone and your 'family'—"

The red-haired and red-eyed goddess raised her arms and shouted. Against a rugged background that was different from the exterior of the building, she came to a huge furnace. The high temperature inside made people dare not approach and sweat profusely.

"Onn? What kind of god is that?"

"Norse gods? Or Eastern gods?"

"I don't remember. Could it be a 'pseudonym'?"

The gods, both male and female, were also puzzled, but they still had to show their support: "I will always support you! Hephaestus, come on!"

"Super cool sister! I will buy your equipment in the future!"

The gods around were the same as usual, and anyone not watching was a fool. They were still chatting and laughing. It had been a long time since I had seen such a tough clan.
