In Greek mythology, he was the first generation of heavenly fathers who were banished, yet in this strange world, he still enjoys a high status. Like Odin and Zeus, he is a great god who reigns above all other gods in the heavens.

However, as the chief god who first established the Families, Uranus's Families had long since withered away.

Because he had to constantly suppress the dungeons within the altar, and also because he had to maintain his and the guild's image of absolute neutrality, this perhaps strongest god maintained an absolute calm indifference.

There are just some things he has to deal with.

"Is that so, Ganesha? You also believe that the murderer who slaughtered the Soma Familia is one of the current members of the Hestia Familia?"

Facing the god before him, who wore an elephant mask and, though seemingly comical, had maintained peace and order in Orario for many years, Uranus spoke softly.

"There is no evidence, but there is no need for evidence."

Ganesha, in front of Uranus, abandoned her usual flamboyant and attention-seeking personality, and became unusually serious.

“There aren’t many people who have the ability, the motive, and whose methods are unknown. And now, both inside and outside Orario, there are only those outsiders who have joined Hestia’s ranks.”

Although the gods of this world are not limited to Orario, and many of them develop their own Familia forces in the outside world, they are ultimately unable to achieve any significant impact.

Because the growth of a clan requires great achievements, and countless monsters and powerful enemies. With the Great Tree Sea and Dragon Valley already breached, only dungeons in the entire world meet this requirement.

Orario, having secured the sole resource point, is undoubtedly the dominant guild on the server. Even external clans, like the Gari clan, cannot produce clans exceeding level 5 through constant infighting and cutthroat competition.

Moreover, Orario is well aware of their methods. They have neither the reason nor the ability to silently infiltrate Orario and instantly annihilate the Soma Familia.

Where do you think they come from?

Uranus suddenly asked

“I don’t know,” Ganesha answered without hesitation.

"If you don't know, how could I possibly know?"

"Then let's wait and see for now," Uranus said quietly.

This answer was exactly what Ganesha had expected; Uranus had always been like this, and Uranus would always be like this.

The Guild God, the founder of the Grace system, is the true neutral party. He is both the rule-maker and the one who maintains the rules; such an existence must be absolutely impartial, standing in the position of a neutral referee.

If any bias or deviation occurs, his credibility will collapse, and the consequences will be absolutely disastrous.

After all, the gods in the heavens are not just some leeks who can only complain online, but a group of real people who each have nuclear weapons and enjoy themselves.

If the rules are unfair, the restless among them will immediately start causing trouble. And the result will be at least several world-ending events on Earth.

Therefore, even the most ruthless and evil factions like the Dark Clan wouldn't be bothered by Uranus within the rules. After all, if this were a game, it would allow players who cultivate their own clans, but it would also have to allow players who specialize in PvP and annoying CS players.

Fairness, fairness, and fucking fairness!

Therefore, a truly fair person would never stand up and make any statement before the truth comes out.

Ganesha turned and left, and from behind Uranus's throne, a figure shrouded in black robes with an extremely hoarse voice stepped forward and said...

"All the familiars I placed near the Hestia Familia's base were wiped out... in an instant."

"At least one of those people of unknown origin possesses magic far surpassing mine... Why have I never heard of such a person before?"

He is Fels, the only remaining member of Uranus's familia. He is a "Sage" born in a magically powerful nation, who successfully created the "Philosopher's Stone." Although his strength is only LV4, he is the strongest human in the realm of manipulating magic.

His magic was completely independent of the clan system and he was the only person in the world to have created the Philosopher's Stone, which could grant eternal life, and the only person to have mastered true resurrection magic.

However, the familiars he had sent out to monitor were instantly destroyed by magic he was unaware of.

"Fels, the world is vast, and so is the world beyond."

Faced with his subordinates' confusion, Uranus simply said...

"Beyond the world, Uranus, you mean...?"

"Let's just wait and see," Uranus said calmly, closing his eyes.

"As long as Orario is not completely destroyed... no, as long as our prayers for the dungeons continue, we cannot interfere in the games between the gods."

"However... let's convene the assembly of the gods ahead of time. No matter how big the problem is, detonating it in advance will minimize the damage."

To uphold the bottom line of fairness, one has an obligation to see oneself as an unyielding stone.

That's all he can do. As for anything else... he'll talk about it when the time is right, after the Father of Mythology and that 'Chief God' have a conversation.

......

The 30th floor of the Tower of Babel

This is the place where the gods gather.

The so-called gathering of gods originally had nothing to do with guilds. It was a regular gathering planned by a group of gods to pass the time.

After accumulating a certain amount of power and territory for their own clan, a god who has been revered by his clan can easily forget the hardships of life and enter a period of decadence. With nothing to do, they learn to fool around with old friends and chat about trivial matters to pass the time.

To put it simply, it was just ordinary chatting; the free-spirited gods would hold a gathering every so often. But as the number of gods participating in these gatherings increased, the scale of the gatherings also expanded, and as time went by, the purpose of the event changed.

What started as casual chatting has evolved into sharing the latest information and exchanging opinions. As a result, the gatherings are no longer just exchanges between members of the "Familia" but have become official events that collaborate with guilds and have an impact throughout the entire city.

So much so that nowadays, the awarding of adventurer titles has become a practice that takes place at this gathering.

On the thirtieth floor of the Tower of Babel, an entire floor was converted into a meeting space. Thick, long columns lined up, supporting the soaring ceiling. The spacious area contained only a large round table in the center, with no other furniture. In the distance, the walls were entirely made of enormous glass, surrounded by the sky reaching thirty stories high.

Because of the unusually high ceiling, the entire space resembled a temple in the sky.

Hestia, who had come with her friend Hephaestus, was covered in sweat.

After all, it would be difficult for anyone, even a goddess, to remain humble and tolerant if they knew that something huge was waiting for them inside.

"Hestia, the most important thing you should do right now is to cut ties with those people."

The female craftswoman, accompanying her friend, earnestly advised...

"Otherwise, the situation inside will only be absolutely disadvantageous to you!"

Hestia opened her mouth slightly, then revealed an extremely bitter expression.

"Hephaestus... I know what you're saying, but I can only let things take their course..."

After Bell transformed into another form, Hestia had essentially boarded Autumn Sea's pirate ship.

Want to continue? Unless she's willing to hand over Bell!

But for someone who genuinely loves her child, that's absolutely impossible.

Seeing Hestia's slightly bitter expression, Hephaestus also sensed her friend's predicament, so she didn't say anything more.

I don't know what unspeakable problem she has, but since it's hard to say, I won't ask any more questions.

However, Hestia will likely have to bear the consequences alone as she faces what lies ahead.

They entered the assembly of the gods, where the assembly was already filled with them.

Ganesha, Loki, Apollo, Mihe, Takemikazuchi, Soma... most of the gods Hestia knew came.

Freya was even among them.

After Hestia entered, all eyes were on him, making Hestia feel immense pressure instantly.

"Wow, wow, wow, our real protagonist has finally arrived."

Loki mingled in the crowd, clapping with a sarcastic smile, then eagerly stood up.

"Then, let's start now!"

The previously noisy round table fell silent as Loki volunteered to be the master of ceremonies.

"The thousandth Assembly of the Gods has officially begun. This time, I, Loki, will be the master of ceremonies! Please take good care of me!"

"Yay—!" A burst of enthusiastic cheers and applause erupted from the audience.

Loki, whose crimson hair was tied back on his head, opened his eyes and smiled, raising his hand and shouting.

"I know that the annual gathering of the gods has many routine parts, such as exchanging information and gossiping."

"But today, I want to skip this part!"

Upon hearing this, many of the gods were displeased, and amidst a cacophony of chatter and opposition, Loki raised his voice and shouted...

"I know you're unhappy, but you'll definitely be very satisfied with today's fun!"

Having said that, she pointed to the two gods sitting beside her.

Apollo and Ishtar

Loki's face broke into a playful expression, and he shouted loudly...

"Come, let our aggrieved parties tell us what they're planning to do today!"

"We are going to launch a war game against the Hestia Familia." Ishtar stood up, staring coldly at Hestia, and hissed.

"The victor will take everything from the loser, or you may choose not to accept it." Despite his face being swollen like a pig's head, Apollo still tried his best to appear elegant.

"But then we will use the most direct violence to attack you."

Chapter 25: 129. Triple War Game

War Game is a game created by guilds to resolve conflicts between clans in a relatively peaceful manner.

The content and manner of the competition can be decided by the gods themselves, but the only purpose is to resolve the conflict between the clans without escalating the disaster.

Of course, there are bound to be stakes.

The two sides in the bet can wager anything, and the loser must execute their bet, which is supervised and ensured by the guild.

But you can choose not to accept it.

Simply refusing to accept war games is no different from turning into real war.

The guild does maintain order and peace in Orario, but it does not have the power to truly suppress all the Familias.

In Orario, it's commonplace for the strong to bully the weak; it's only natural for powerful clans to ruthlessly annex weaker ones.

However, most people with a sense of shame will make sure to have a legitimate reason for their actions afterward.

And clearly, Apollo and Ishtar, who are now joining forces to launch a war game against the newly born Hestia, have ample reason to do so.

"We will join forces to wage war against you, Hestia!"

The sudden announcement by Apollo and Ishtar, after an initial silence, sparked heated discussion and cheers.

"Hey! Why are we suddenly playing war games? Hehe, whatever, it'll definitely be fun!"

"Hey, you two, have some shame! Hestia has only been in the mortal realm for a short time, and you're already declaring war on her?"

"I don't care, I just want to see rivers of blood!"

The gods in the heavens were chattering away like ducks in a market, but there was no doubt that they all shared the same central theme.

Hehe, we want to see some fun!

"A reason? Okay, of course we'll give her a satisfactory reason."

Ishtar crossed her arms, her cold, beautiful gaze filled with intense displeasure and hatred as she looked at Hestia, hissing...

"Not long ago, her clan members caused a ruckus in the entertainment district and injured many of my clan members! I must avenge this!"

“Yes, her kin also rejected my love.” Apollo sighed, a sorrowful expression on his face.

"And by throwing it out like that, it hurt many of my good children."

"You know perfectly well that Hestia has only established her Familia less than a month ago, how can you still tell such a lie!"

Hephaestus, seeing this, immediately stepped forward to refute it.

With Hephaestus leading the way, many gods who were on good terms with Hestia also stood up to refute her.

For example, Takemikazuchi, Hermes, and Michal all chose to support the weak Hestia.

But among clans, it's never a matter of who has more people to be right, and besides, Apollo and his group also had plenty of excuses.

“This is not a lie; we have plenty of witnesses!” Ishtar sneered.

"And whether or not she is a member of the clan, it's up to Hestia to say for herself, isn't it?"

Hephaestus turned to look at her friend, and although she didn't speak, she undoubtedly hoped Hestia would deny it.

But, after a brief silence, Hestia took a deep breath and said...

"Yes, it was all done by my clan members!"

This statement caused an uproar. The gods were all excited and chattered incessantly, but without exception, they were all questioning and curious about how Hestia had managed to do it!

In just one month, so many outstanding children have been nurtured.
