You call this magic?

Ethan opened his eyes expressionlessly. He had to kill the gods to have a chance to leave. Goddess, you are so cruel. I just don’t know who has a higher status in this world, the gods or the goddess of creation.

Forget it, I’m not a god, it’s none of my business.

Since he has obtained a way to go back, he must go back. Looking at the name of this skill, it seems that he can freely travel back and forth between the two worlds while there is a cooling time, which is very interesting.

The word "elasticity" made him frown. What does elasticity mean?

As a former office worker, he hated these two words to the core, and he still hates them to the core now.

Looking at the moonlight outside the window, Ethan's thinking slowed down temporarily.

Okay, what should I do next...

……

The next day, the news that Ethan walked out of the room caused the entire clan to panic. Hestia, Mary, Lily and even the god Soma came, and together with a group of clan members, they blocked the dormitory door.

"Captain, Captain! You're finally out, ahhhh!" Lily cried and howled, clinging to Ethan's waist and refusing to let go. "Hurry up and find someone to help me, Captain, the next batch of divine wine will be on sale soon! I asked Lord Su Mo, and he said to wait until you come out. How is that possible? They're out of stock!!"

Lily, you are becoming more and more pragmatic. The problem is that this wine is useless without Ethan. Without the [magic to remove alcohol], ordinary adventurers can't drink it at all.

Ethan's eyes met Su Mo's, and seeing the obvious helplessness in the latter's eyes, Ethan understood.

It’s not that Su Mo’s production is low, he has been working overtime on it, he just lacks a magic.

The others were basically the same as usual. The reason why it was so lively was simply because they really respected and loved Ethan, the clan leader who brought them good days.

In the clan, Ethan did not do everything himself. Except for the alcohol, he delegated everything he could, letting other members of the clan take part of the responsibility. Whether it was producing resources in dungeon battles or cooperating with Su Mo to complete the auxiliary work of brewing wine, they were all completed in a decent manner. Otherwise, Ethan would not have been able to be a hands-off boss so easily.

Even in this battle of the Venus flytrap attack, the clan made great efforts. After all, Daedalus Street and the Soma clan were very close, and they could not stay out of it.

Little Marie even played a key role. The mermaid song attracted the carnivorous plants as easily as before, greatly reducing the pressure on the adventurers.

Now, Little Mary's title of "Second Saint" is almost becoming "Battlefield Diva".

Well, I can only say that as long as the people of Orario are happy.

However, what surprised Ethan the most was Bell. This kid had upgraded.

The experience of dealing with Apollo's family in the underground waterway allowed him to easily achieve the feat of God, thus upgrading to level 2, and from here on, the growth rate of his stats began to soar.

Fifteen days later, he has now reached the full-power S-level of lv2, and is not far from the next upgrade.

As expected, the skill of Hero's Aspiration has begun to show its bugs.

As for Ethan himself... lv3.

He didn't even look closely at the lv2 values, but after defeating Nidhogg, when he looked at his own data, all his values ​​had reached above full-strength SS.

The feat of destroying Nidhogg also allowed him to successfully qualify for advancement to level 3.

This time he decisively chose the development ability of [Magic].

The more powerful the magic, the better.

"Ethan-kun." After Ethan had comforted almost everyone, Hestia finally came to him with an unexpectedly serious expression.

After realizing what Hestia wanted to say, everyone, including Lily and Mary, quietly left, leaving only Ethan and the two gods.

"Is it because of the [return] at that time?" Ethan asked with a smile.

"Well, the guild hopes that you can explain everything that happened inside the black dragon. Loki's and Freya's families will also be sent to attend the meeting."

This was not unexpected. After all, only Ethan knew the whole truth at the moment, and Loki and Freya were basically kept in the dark.

In the entire Orario, almost no one knew why such a monster appeared on Daedalus Street. What was even more confusing was the [Return] that was clearly aimed at the inside of Nidhogg's body.

"Okay, I'll go. After all, I have an appointment with those two people to talk it out."

PS: Happy New Year's Eve

Volume 2: Dungeon Encounters (Part 1): Chapter 74: Expedition (End of Volume)

After arranging the affairs of his own family, Ethan set out on the road to the guild. He had already sent a message to the guild in advance, and he believed that Loki's family and Freya's family would also come after hearing the news.

However, Ethan unexpectedly met an unexpected character when he arrived at the door of the guild.

"Hello, little Ethan, do you remember me?"

Ethan looked at the woman in front of him, whose expression had become much more natural and had a maternal smile on her face, and her name immediately popped up in his mind.

Demeter, goddess of agriculture.

If it weren't for Ethan, she would be a poor goddess who was kicked out by Dionysus as a substitute.

Obviously, this goddess with a broad mind came to find Ethan specifically.

"Long time no see, Lady Demeter—" Ethan had just said half of his words when the huge object in front of him suddenly enlarged. Before he could react, his head had sunk into a deep ravine.

Surrounded by the maternal fragrance, he could even hear the intense heartbeat in his ears.

At this moment, everyone in the guild hall, whether they were staff members or adventurers passing by on business, stared with their eyes wide open.

Demeter is not some unknown little god. The agricultural industry she contracts directly feeds most of Orario. Without her, Orario's food supply will have serious problems. This is also a goddess that the entire Orario respects very much.

"Thank you, little Ethan." She hugged Ethan tightly, her voice still trembling, "Really, thank you very much."

The death of Dionysus freed her from being controlled by him, and the family members kidnapped by Dionysus were released one after another, which gave her the courage to come here.

Yes, Demeter came not only to thank Ethan, but also to serve as a witness to identify Dionysus's atrocities.

Otherwise, Ethan's crimes of killing gods may be settled.

Although Ethan is not afraid.

It was naturally Ethan's order to release Demeter's family. The artificial maze was basically full of his people, so it was natural for Ethan to deal with the aftermath of what Dionysus had done.

Oh, by the way, Apollo's group were also released. In the end, they still didn't know what happened to them.

In the blink of an eye, I returned to Orario from the underground sewer, but my butt was a little sore.

But for many men in Apollo's family, buttock pain is a common occurrence, and they have long been accustomed to it.

In this case, he is not even qualified to be a witness.

"What are you doing?"

At this time, a calm voice with a hint of jealousy was heard. Ethan was stunned for a moment, turned his head and saw a blonde beauty standing in front of him.

Ess Wallenstein, without any armor on her body, appeared just like that. Behind her were the three giants of Loki's family, and Loki, who was staring at Ethan with an unfriendly look.

Her mouth seemed to be saying: Stay away from Ai Si Tan.

Ethan thought for a moment, then reached out and held Ai Si's hand: "I haven't seen you for more than ten days. Let me see how much your strength has increased."

Ai Si was shy for only a moment, but she immediately understood what Ethan meant. Want to compete in grip strength? Come on!

In the face of becoming stronger, what is shyness? I have never heard of it.

So Loki could only watch his own Ai Si and Ethan "shake hands" for five minutes. The other party's excuse perfectly matched Ai Si's character. She couldn't say anything and was so angry that she scratched her ears and cheeks, but she couldn't get angry.

After another exciting competition of grip strength, the two ended in a tie under Ethan's deliberate control.

Only the world with Loki injured is complete.

……

In the guild's large conference room, those from Freya's clan included Goddess Freya, Ota, and Hedin; those from Loki's clan included Goddess Loki, Ais, Finn, Grace, and Livilia.

Ethan did not hide anything. Apart from the situation of the artificial maze, he told Demeter everything related to Dionysus. As an aid, Demeter also added the details of how she was threatened by Dionysus.

Some of them were normal questions from the guild, and there was no element of provoking difficulties. After all, people who had seen Ethan's [Star Shower] probably wouldn't have the courage to give him a hard time.

Since that battle, Ethan has been recognized as the latest T0-level combat force in Orario, the kind that sits at the same table with Ota.

Orario is short of such people and wishes there were more of them. When there is evidence to prove that he has done nothing wrong, no one will deliberately push a strong person to the opposite side of himself, unless he is really stupid to a certain extent.

In addition, Ethan also provided information related to the fallen fairy spirit, but because he had not seen the people from the so-called third-party secret faction so far, Ethan was too lazy to play the chase game with that group of small fry, so he simply pushed the matter to Loki and Freya's family.

By the second half of the meeting, the original purpose had been forgotten and it turned directly into a discussion on how to defeat the Fallen Immortal's clone.

The Loki family was obviously more concerned about this matter. After all, that thing was aimed at Ais. Freya was not interested in this and left in the middle of the conversation, so in the end, this matter basically had to be left to the Loki family to handle.

After saying everything that could be said, the guild announced the outcome of Ethan's handling.

Based on Demeter's testimony, Ethan's crime of godslaying was not recognized, but he was required to undertake an expedition to the underground city.

In fact, this kind of punishment is just to make him stay out of the spotlight for a while. No matter how sinful he is, it is impossible to explain to other gods if he kills the god without an official conviction.

It is said that this was the final judgment given by Uranus, which made Ethan laugh.

When you feel sleepy, give you a pillow.

He was just looking for an excuse to run away, and this "punishment" was perfect.

So he pretended to be very aggrieved and accepted the punishment with an expression of great reluctance, but from packing his luggage to notifying everyone and then going into the dungeon, it only took him two hours in total.

One hour and a half was spent making out with the girls.

Ever since we hugged each other once before, Hestia had no sense of distance at all when she stuck close to me. She was even clingier than Marie. But the touch was really good, so I just let her stick with me.

Compared to Hestia, the little mermaid is cool, but without the fishy smell that is unique to fish. Instead, she has a fresh fragrance. She is very well-behaved when you hold her in your arms, and you can’t let her go.

Holding Lily is no different from holding a child. She feels very happy, but Ethan... has no reaction.

Although many people, including Bell, expressed their desire to go on an expedition with Ethan, and even Loki's family said they could join their expedition team, Ethan was not really going on an expedition this time, but was literally leaving this world.

It will come back anyway, so there is no need to worry about those empty things.

On the eighteenth floor of the dungeon, in an unnoticed corner, two figures, one red and one white, were quietly entering the artificial maze from a hidden entrance.

"Why should I obey your orders?"

"You can choose not to listen, but then it's Ethan himself you'll be talking to, and you'd better not let him feel that saving you is a waste of time."

"You might as well have killed me from the beginning."

As the two entered the artificial maze, the secret entrance was completely closed and might not be opened again for a long time.

PS: I will be back to Fulilian tomorrow.

Volume 3: The Burial of Fulilian (Part 2): Chapter 1: Encountering the Great Demon Tribe Upon Returning

How long has it been?

Ethan's consciousness gradually regained consciousness in a daze.

I don't even remember when I fell asleep.

In fact, his memory still stopped at the moment when he entered the dungeon, and then... he activated [Return]?

It should be.

After all, Ethan didn't even need to move his neck to clearly see the moss-covered stone tablet.

And the flower fields that surrounded him, emitting a faint fragrance.

Are you back? Me.

It felt like a lifetime ago... Not really, after all, he hadn't been in Orario for very long, probably just over a month at most.

The things he experienced were much more exciting than those of ordinary adventurers, at least more exciting than the past ten years in this world and the twenty years in his previous life.

However, there is nothing wrong with it. Flillian's brave team has already dealt with the greatest enemy of mankind, the Demon King, so he can live a little easier, probably.

But recalling the battle with Minus, it was only a short time ago. If he were to face Minus again now, he would only choose to kill her instantly with close combat and would not waste so much time.

About a month had passed since he traveled through time. It was still too short to be within the one or two years that Fulilian had mentioned, but he couldn't wait to share his experience with his master.

Oh yes, you also need to ask her for some rare materials. Next time you go to Orario, you can directly exchange them with Goddess Hephaestus for a divine weapon.

Ethan jumped up with a somersault, stretched himself, and felt relaxed all over.

His mental strength, magic power, and physical strength were all in top condition, as if it was the result of a good night's sleep in bed after taking a bath and getting revenge.

If nothing unexpected happens, it will only take him a short while to get back to the cabin in the royal capital, where he can talk about his experiences with Fulilian and Philen, have a meal together, rest for two days, and then continue on his journey to complete his unfinished business.

But, as expected, he still had an accident.

Just as he was about to leave the flower field, he suddenly saw a girl walking leisurely towards this place from the woods... No.

Ethan's brows suddenly furrowed.

[Magic Detection] frantically warned him that the "girl" in front of him possessed quite exaggerated magic power. Ethan had never seen such a huge amount of magic power in any magician... Celiai didn't count. Although Celiai's magic power was even greater than this, he didn't feel any oppression.
