I have a hero simulator

When talking about the members of his 'family', Loki's expression flickered, as if he could not help but feel proud.

Freya, who was standing beside her, noticed this and sarcastically said, "That being said, I heard that your Familia accidentally let a few Minotaur loose, and they attacked innocent adventurers."

"Yes, my Belle was terrified!"

Hestia also chimed in, seemingly wanting to seek justice.

"Huhehe, there's nothing we can do about it. It was the dwarf's family that ran to the sixth floor. But my child saved them, so they escaped unharmed—"

Loki glanced at Hestia furtively. "After all, a poor god who can't even afford a formal dress has a responsibility to force his own followers to fight in the dungeon."

"You, you, you evil god!"

Looking at the smug Loki in front of her, Hestia seemed about to explode.

This is always the case.

Hestia and Loki hadn't had any contact for a long time, and it hadn't been hundreds of years since they first met.

Even so, this guy would play tricks on himself as soon as he met me, as if teasing himself was a kind of fun.

However, it is not uncommon for Loki to bully and play tricks on other gods. In addition to being the god of mischief, another reason she targets Hestia is her jealousy of Hestia.

Because Loki's heart is flat, while Hestia's is very magnificent.

This caused Hestia to become the object of Loki's jealousy.

I mock her every day to achieve psychological balance.

"Ah, Loki, you're not jealous of me, are you?"

When Hestia noticed Loki's gaze, she immediately smiled triumphantly.

"Jealous of you? How is that possible!"

Hearing the implication of Hestia's words, Loki's face suddenly turned as red as a boiled crab.

Because the dress Loki wore was very revealing, the plain-like sadness presented to Hestia naturally became a sharp contrast.

"Cough cough!"

While Hestia and Loki were chatting happily, Freya coughed lightly and stroked her long silver hair.

"Well, you guys continue, I'll be leaving now."

Freya's figure was somewhere in between the two. In order to avoid being drawn into the war, she chose to stay away from these two "insane" guys.

Because mental retardation is contagious, she has to remain elegant on her own.

...

the other side.

The duel of the forging gods has begun.

The adventurers of Orario gathered around two massive furnaces on a high platform, a column of smoke rising into the sky.

"Everyone, keep order and don't get too close. The furnace is very dangerous!"

Even Miss Aina, the window receptionist of the Adventurer's Guild, came to watch the fun. She acted like a commentator, and reminded everyone to keep their distance and not get too close.

As the temperature of the furnace rose, the surrounding area became steamy.

Then people saw the demigod giant bear stoke the fire, as if enchanting the hammer, but the flames suddenly became so hot that they were forced to step back.

Then there was a roar from the furnace, a sound like crackling wood.

"They actually...used high-level magic stones as fuel! This is too extravagant!"

The furnace grew hotter and hotter. The giant bear kept pulling magic stones from his pocket and throwing them into the furnace like coal. In an instant, the sky erupted in a rainbow of light. The burning and exploding magic stones transformed into countless magical powers, causing magical steam to hiss out from the cracks in the crucible.

The temperature keeps rising.

At this time, all the adventurers were in a state of amazement and shock, but the high temperature also made them want to take off their clothes and cool down, and some people simply fainted.

"Everyone, stay away from the furnace!"

Another wave of scorching heat came, and a large number of adventurers could not hold on and knelt down, breathing hard.

"I never thought I'd be able to witness the forging of the Forging God with my own eyes!"

The human forger cried out in joy.

Others cheered for the red-haired and red-eyed goddess: "Goddess Hephaestus, come on!"

"Amazing!"

"That giant bear actually has such advanced fire control skills. Is he really one of Hestia's followers? Judging by his technique, he must be at least level 5!"

All the male gods and goddesses looked ahead in surprise.

Even Hephaestus was surprised by the way Shen Yuan forged the weapon. She saw the demigod giant bear melt a large amount of magic stone like white wax, and then it slowly flowed onto the base of the supporting structure.

With a dazzling light, the dome of the furnace collapsed inward, and the edge became a crucible.

In the crucible, an orange-yellow light was so bright that people couldn't open their eyes, but it vaguely highlighted the outline of a goat god.

Then, flames shot up into the sky like a fountain, and molten magic stones rained down. When they were about to hit the ground, the demigod giant bear blew a breath of extremely cold air that froze everything, causing the molten magic liquid to quickly cool and harden on the base.

"'Zhen Bing' is complete!"

Originally found in the Freljord, True Ice never melts and is extremely rare.

Only warriors of the Iceborn can endure the bone-chilling cold of True Ice and wield it on the battlefield.

Now, Shen Yuan used a large amount of magic stones to melt them little by little in extremely high temperatures, and then used a breath of extremely cold air to give them ice properties. After cooling and solidifying, they became "Zhenbing", a rare material that is extremely hard, extremely cold, but full of magic.

"Sure enough, you are quite capable!"

Hephaestus' eyes lit up. Although he was her rival, this kind of forging method was the first time she had seen it.

'Zhenbing' should be a semi-finished product. The next step is to use it to forge equipment or weapons.

It seems that I can't fall behind.

Thinking of this, Hephaestus raised the hammer high. It was a pity that she couldn't use her divine power, otherwise she could let the power of the God of Craftsmen descend.

But even so, sparks flickered across her cheeks, her eyes were a pair of bright flames, and she held a hammer in one hand and an anvil in the other.

It looks easy with both hands.

"BOOM, BOOM! BOOM, BOOM!"

Rhythmic knocking sounds were heard, and a piece of rare red-hot metal was deforming in the steaming heat.

The legendary god of forging, Hephaestus, when giving her all, would cause volcanic eruptions and earth tremors when forging artifacts. Although she does not display such exaggerated power now, she can still easily do it with the skills of a top-level blacksmith.

All of a sudden.

The entire central square of Orario became extremely lively, and the forging competition entered a white-hot state.

but.

Who could have imagined that the so-called 'Banquet of God' of the God of Craftsmen was just a disguised trick?

All the adventurers and gods are celebrating.

Under their feet, another hidden line in the maze was underway.

The gods were immersed in the banquet, and their followers returned to the surface as if they were on vacation, but they did not know that a riot had already occurred in the deep layer.

......

Meanwhile, deep in the dungeon.

No one knew what had happened. In the dungeon near the first 50 floors, the "heretics" of the maze could feel the biting cold from a distance.

"Death is coming, hide!"

There were half-human, half-demon "heretics" screaming and fleeing in groups.

"Deep down there, what on earth... just happened?!"

Near the 20th floor, a large number of "heretics" were trembling and hiding in a secret cave. They sensed a danger signal coming from the deeper th floor.

At first, a few high-level "heretics" ran out from underground, but they didn't look like they were just here to make a guest appearance, but were desperately fleeing.

"Hide now!"

"Run up there!"

Obviously, they were stronger than other heretics, but these high-level heretics seemed to be stimulated and were full of panic. It was not until the heretics on the 20th floor brought them to the secret realm that they slowly calmed down.

In this secret realm on the twentieth level, heretics gather.

It would be difficult for outsiders to find this place if they didn't know the place in advance.

At this time, in a dark corner of the twentieth-level secret realm.

A red-eyed rabbit lay beside the legs of a spider lady and cried out to her tremblingly.

Spider-girl has the upper body of a human and the lower body of a spider. She is a very beautiful black-haired girl.

Her level is very high, at level 5.

But looking as if she was out of her mind, Spider Lady looked at the other heretics around her, including Snake Lady, Dragon Lady, Frog Lady, and other male heretics.

"Please tell us what happened in the deep!"

The Spider Lady who escaped here couldn't help but look at the other heretics who were nervous and expectant, and then her face changed drastically.

"It's the Winter Claw!" she trembled timidly. "They drove us to the upper level!"

It was not desolate here, but Spider Lady felt cold and couldn't help shivering.

She continued, "All the monsters in the depths are dead—they capture, kill, and eat any living thing they see, using it as rations! The monsters are digging a tunnel. Their destination is to reach the surface, and they've already reached the 55th floor!"

"Winter's Claw?"

The other heretics looked at each other in confusion, then hurriedly asked, "What about the floor owners?"

"Some obeyed, and those who didn't obey died." Spider Lady was trembling at this time. She seemed to be able to smell the stench of wet fur and the sweet and fishy smell of fermentation in the air.

The images of those monsters emerged in her mind, and at this moment a word that other heretics had never heard of popped out of her mouth: bearman.

"We must escape! Even the slightest pause means we'll be slaughtered! Resistance is futile. The bears are fearless and ignore death. They're like chicken blood, as if they've been blessed by God. Even when facing a LV7 Floor Master, they keep charging forward like crazy. In the end, the Floor Master falls in a pool of blood and is devoured!"

The other heretics were huddled together by the fire to keep warm, but Spider-Woman huddled together and shivered as if frozen in fear.

As mentioned earlier, heretics are special creatures in the dungeon.

They were originally monsters, but they have awakened their intelligence and are no different from humans.

Because they are monsters, they are hated by mortals.

Because they have awakened their wisdom, they are also hunted by monsters.

Therefore, being somewhere between humans and monsters, it is quite reasonable that they would be hunted by bearmen.

In addition, they have the characteristics of monsters, and their emotions, intelligence, and personality are no different from humans, so they will feel fear and be afraid. Spider Girl has obviously experienced some unspeakable cruel scene before, and she escaped by luck.

“Why are they rushing to the ground?!”

At this time, a girl with dragon features asked anxiously. The dragon girl seemed to not understand the bear man's sudden violence.

"I have no idea!"

The spider lady huddled together, trembling. She recalled, "The queen and the other spider tribesmen fought back desperately, but they were not as skilled as the orcs. Their chances of winning against the Winter Claw were completely zero! Just yesterday, the bears suddenly rushed up, and the queen's resistance was completely futile. They fell in an instant! I don't know how long we can hold out on this floor, but they'll be coming soon! We must escape to the upper floors, preferably out of the dungeon, otherwise those ugly half-bear monsters will devour us all!"

"What should I do, Winnie? It sounds like the bears are so scary!"

The monster girls in the other group huddled together and trembled. The description given by the spider girl was too terrifying, and a haze of death hung over their heads.

Heretics are special beings. If they die, they are dead forever.

Monsters can be reincarnated and resurrected, but heretics cannot.

Because after reincarnation, they no longer have self-awareness and wisdom, and become the most ordinary monsters, which is equivalent to spiritual death.

Therefore, it is normal for heretics to be afraid of death.

"Me too," the little dragon girl named Winnie said, her wings trembling. "I don't know!"

......

the other side.

Deep in the dungeon, the riot continues.
