You don't mean to say...

"I don't believe that little dwarf has any cunning or wisdom to hide his territory," Loki scoffed.

"Not to mention, such a powerful child from the lower realm couldn't possibly hide so well. So Hephaestus, instead of worrying about that, you should be more concerned about the motives of these mysterious adventurers who have joined the dwarf's side."

Hephaestus wore a thoughtful expression, nodded, said a few more words, and then left.

Not long after Hephaestus left, Loki summoned Finn, and after some questioning, Finn gave an almost certain answer.

The group of adventurers causing such a ruckus in Orario were most likely the same mysterious group they had encountered in the dungeon.

After all, their characteristics were too obvious, especially Leos's inhuman trait of having a strong craving for eating monsters.

"Interesting, really interesting."

A playful and comical expression appeared on Loki's smiling face.

What exactly are these mysterious people up to? What do they want to achieve by using Hestia, this little dwarf?

Anyway, there's bound to be some fun.

Loki likes to have fun

Whether in the heavens or on earth, Loki has remained true to her nature as the god of mischief; her current apparent decadence and laziness are merely the result of restraining a portion of her true nature.

After all, she now has to consider the children of her clan.

But as long as it doesn't endanger him, Loki is quite happy to stand on the sidelines and watch others make fools of themselves for his own amusement.

Orario had been relatively stable for quite some time, and Loki was getting increasingly bored. She was naturally happy to see someone stirring things up.

Of course, the premise of enjoying entertainment is to protect yourself.

For now, let's all keep to ourselves and behave ourselves.

Loki's intuition told her that the big one was coming.

Chapter 23: 127. Let them come, we'll deal with them; whatever they want.

"In just a few days, you've already offended Ishtar and Apollo!!!"

The blue-ribbon-wearing loli girl stood angrily with her hands on her hips, glaring at the group of reincarnators before her, and let out an incredibly sharp scream.

"You're not helping me, you're clearly harming me!!!"

It was already extremely difficult for her, a late-developing deity, to establish a clan from scratch.

Just when things were starting to look up, these random outsiders caused her so much trouble!

Apollo, Ishtar...

After Kazuma finished, he stole Ishtar's clothes and thoroughly humiliated the goddess.

The next day, Guts beat Apollo and his retinue in the street, turning the begging Apollo into a pig's head in front of a large crowd.

Hestia felt dizzy just thinking about the strength of these two guys' Familias in Orario.

Now, I might get kicked out!

Well, she didn't really place her hopes on these people in front of her, but if they were willing to help, then of course it wouldn't be a problem!

But in doing so, the Hestia Familia would truly be bound together with these people of unknown origin and with very strange ways of doing things.

Although having someone back her up felt good, Hestia's intuition told her that if they were truly bound together, her name, Hestia, would likely become famous in the mortal realm in an unexpected way.

Kazuma hung his head and remained silent. He was still wearing the clothes he couldn't take off, and could only awkwardly put on an outer garment to cover himself. Leos and Guts felt they had done nothing wrong, but didn't say anything more.

After all, it did cause trouble for them.

"Don't worry, Hestia, we are strong enough to solve these problems."

Qiu Hai chuckled and patted the loli goddess on the shoulder, then winked and said...

"And don't you think this would be a great place for your son Bell to make a name for himself?"

Hestia looked at the guy with a wary expression. Although he didn't look like him, she felt like she was seeing Loki whenever she saw Qiu Hai.

Loki back in the sky!

It's unbelievable that such a kind and adorable little Doro would have such a lovable but ridiculous owner!

Hestia was helpless, but ultimately had no choice but to accept this fact, just as Akiha had said—

With sufficient strength, what problems are there?

Each of these reincarnators, whose strength is sufficient to enter the top-secret level, is exceptionally powerful.

Even if Sato Kazuma is the least skilled at combat, given the right environment and conditions, and if he is determined, he could single-handedly assassinate most of the individual members of Orario's Familia!

As for the other reincarnators, none of them are afraid of a direct confrontation!

Of course, their weaknesses are also quite objective. All the reincarnators here, including elves who are strictly speaking mortal species, are all 'pure human'.

More or less, they all have the problem of rejecting the enhancement of different bloodlines, so their enhancement is not very strong in terms of endurance.

Even for Leos, his Gourmet Cell Enhancement is, strictly speaking, a high-recovery, high-consumption enhancement. If the recovery can't keep up, his stamina isn't particularly strong.

Therefore, it would be unrealistic to expect them to take on the entire Orario single-handedly, but they would be more than capable of taking down a few Familia members.

“Bell…he wouldn’t want to be famous for something like this.”

Hestia shook her head.

Although they are enemies, Bell is not the kind of child who would feel superior for killing.

"He will have his day eventually. The stories of heroes are not just about monsters, but also about villains."

Qiu Hai shrugged.

"But overall, we'll help you. We'll see this through to the end. We caused this problem, so we'll help you resolve it."

It's unclear what Hestia was thinking next, but she left with a complicated expression.

"You did a great job, beyond expectations, and full of initiative—well, I didn't even have a plan, and you got it done!"

After Hestia left, Qiu Hai looked at the group of reincarnators and praised them with a slightly strange expression.

His original plan was pretty much the same: to incite other clans to besiege the Hestia clan, giving him a legitimate excuse to collect more divine blood.

However, Suzuki Satoru's strong initiative led him to achieve his primary goal ahead of schedule. What followed was merely icing on the cake.

For Qiu Hai, divine blood is definitely something that the more the better.

The blood of different gods has different characteristics. Moreover, compared to the poor quality of the blood of the Soma Familia, Apollo and Ishtar are superior in both quality and quantity.

"I really didn't mean to."

Kazuma was on the verge of tears, and curled up in fear.

He has a really deep psychological trauma!

Which normal sixteen-year-old wouldn't suffer psychological trauma after experiencing something like this?

Summoning my courage and full of anticipation, I was originally going to step into the colorful adult world under the guidance of my seniors.

When I turned around, after taking off all my clothes, what awaited me was a super tank that looked like a human toad!

I almost got raped by this toad tank!

Kazuma felt that he wouldn't have any such thoughts for at least the next six months!

Stak and Jer patted him on the shoulder with pity; the boy had truly suffered.

As for Leos and Guts...

"Uh... sorry?" He scratched his head and said.

"It's none of your business. That Apollo is a notorious perverted god. If you hadn't intervened, you might have been defeated by him by now."

When Akihi mentioned 'jue', Guts's face darkened for some reason.

Perhaps it was the familiarity with the handsome god Apollo combined with Nantong's true nature that made Gus feel like his minefield had been stepped on twice.

It's fortunate that Apollo's hair wasn't white, otherwise—

Guts was bound to have a PTSD attack, and instead of getting beaten up by Apollo on the spot, he would just chop him up!

"In short, we'll deal with whatever comes our way, and I will give you all the agreed-upon compensation."

Qiu Hai turned his hand around and smiled.

"However, this time, let's give the performance to our protagonist."

Suzuki Satoru, who had been silent until now, suddenly clenched his fist and nodded slightly to Akimi.

......

"Flame Lightning!!!"

Faced with the hordes of monsters before him, Bell raised his hand.

The Giant Fool is a giant-like monster that roams the twenty-first floor of the maze. As its name suggests, it has no intelligence, but this crimson-skinned behemoth possesses an exaggerated size and vitality.

These monsters, which roam the Great Tree Maze on floors 19-24, are formidable enemies for adventurers who are new to the area.

Although foolish, they are resilient, incredibly strong, have a tenacious life force, and possess considerable resistance to magic.

It's safe to say that in a head-on confrontation, one giant fool could take on at least seven or eight Minotaur!

The appearance of rare dungeon monsters in large groups is a problem in itself, but that's not what Bell cares about.

As he uttered the words "fire and lightning," or rather, as he felt he wanted to condense "fire" and "lightning,"...

A terrifying bolt of electricity, accompanied by swirling flames, burst forth from his palm!

Hordes of rare monsters were instantly reduced to ashes by this attack that combined two deadly elements, and even the magic stones inside their bodies were destroyed.

Just a light sweep

Such power should undoubtedly be classified as high-level magic.

But Bell only pronounced the two combined words, and this is the result.

Looking at the ashes scattered on the ground, and the huge trees that had been swept away and the burning forest, Bell, who quickly stopped, felt bewildered and worried about his current strength.

A powerful physique is somewhat understandable, but magic—

According to what Bell learned from Miss Eina, the power of magic is basically linked to the length of the syllables in the incantation; powerful magic will inevitably have longer incantations and longer spells.

Some people may be able to shorten this time through skills, but ultimately this fundamental principle will not change.

However, Bell's 'Flame Lightning' is a complete exception.

Even a powerful figure like the Nine Demon Princess wouldn't be able to unleash much power from a short incantation, let alone a novice like Bell who has no magical experience!

But he did use magic with such terrifying power.

Rather than magic... it was more like 'power' that flowed from his body according to his thoughts.

That power to control lightning and fire!

Just like the laurel wreath that is forever burning on his head, this power has nothing to do with magic or magic power, but is more like his direct control over physical phenomena!

Abnormal, unusual—the things that have happened to me are undoubtedly completely contrary to normalcy.

Bell stared at the passageway leading to the next level, remained silent for a moment, then turned and left.

It's not that he can't continue downwards; in fact, he hasn't even tested the limits of his current power yet. As for logistics... after being able to absorb magic stones, he discovered that he no longer needed any food or water.

Perhaps this is what should terrify Bell more than his immense power.

After all, normal living beings need to eat and drink, and if they don't, can such a creature still be called a human?

Bell felt unable to adapt and was terrified at this point. When you find yourself one day realizing that you may no longer be human, this strangeness can make you feel lost and isolated from the world.

With his thoughts in turmoil, Bell decided to abandon his 'expedition' and return to his god's side. Perhaps... the god could provide him with the right guidance.

Chapter 24: 128. Guild God and the Assembly of Gods

Guild Hall, Underground Altar

In this dimly lit and cramped hall, one of the earliest gods to arrive in this world sat on a black stone throne surrounded by burning candlelight.

He was dressed in a black robe, with a solemn face, and was an elder who inspired awe in those who looked at him.

And indeed, he is the elder of the gods of Orario, the first god to bring blessings to the world, and an ancient god who sealed the dungeon by making a "secret pact" and created the city of Orario and the predecessor of the guild.
