My anime character is in the infinite flow search and fight

Qiu Hai looked around and grinned.

"As for the final training results, you'll see soon enough."

"Gods strictly forbid the use of their divine power against mortals!" Loki said, narrowing his eyes.

Qiu Hai rested his chin on one hand, a half-smile on his face.

"Who says only divine power can be used? There are many ways to interfere with mortals. Besides, gentlemen, you've been playing this servant system for over a thousand years, aren't you tired of it?"

"So it was you who harmed Hestia's child?" Freya suddenly spoke, her tone noticeably colder.

"Take action? No, no, no, no, I call it an update. Anyway, I haven't broken any of your rules," Qiu Hai said with a smile, spreading his hands.

"Bell Crane is the fruit I am about to present to you all, and you will soon witness the beginning of a completely new system for the game. Of course, I have still developed this result based on your own systems."

His overly arrogant and casual tone caused some of the gods to cheer, while others scoffed at it.

It has been about a thousand years since God bestowed "gift" upon the people of the lower world.

They cannot deny that there are indeed some slumbering possibilities that even they are unaware of. Moreover, Qiu Hai is right; as long as they do not violate Uranus's rules, theoretically all their actions are permitted.

Even the dark faction that intends to destroy Orario, morality is morality, and rules are rules; the two are not comparable.

Freya looked at him with considerable hostility.

Qiu Hai was well aware of the alluring goddess's almost obsessive devotion to Bell Crane, but that was exactly what he wanted.

He is now intervening as 'Qiuhai' rather than 'the Supreme God'.

Moreover, he came here to find the guest who had invited him, but after looking around, he still couldn't find him.

So, it turns out that the only one who invited me was the guild's main god?

Inviting me but not showing up—what a grand display! Whether it's him or not, his presence here is a warning in itself.

If he doesn't step in soon, don't blame his reincarnators for doing more things that will deviate the world from its normal state.

He peeled the glistening grapes in his hand and glanced at Apollo and Ishtar—especially Apollo, whose expression held a strange pity.

He popped the grape into his mouth, and the next moment, he vanished.

The gods were in an uproar, not because of teleportation or anything like that, but because—

"Is this weirdo some kind of god?!"

"How did he manage to use his divine power freely within Uranus's barrier without being banished?"

"No, we have to go find Uranus and get to the bottom of this!"

Thus, the objective of the assembly of gods was quickly swayed, and the vast multitude of gods prepared to go and ask Uranus for clarification.

And Hestia was thus overlooked.

Just as she was about to sneak away, Freya suddenly blocked her way, her silvery eyes staring at her for a moment before she spoke softly under Hestia's unsettling gaze.

"Hestia..."

“If that child is truly defiled in your hands, I will never forgive you.”

Chapter 26: 130. The Restless City, Half-God

The news that the war game was about to begin spread like wildfire throughout the city under the guidance of the gods.

Seeing their noisy, excited, and joyful appearance, the adventurers and citizens spread the news by word of mouth, like wildfire, making more and more people aware of it.

After all, it was a grand feast that hadn't been seen in a long time.

For most people who are unaware of the situation, it would simply seem unbelievable.

One person from a newly established clan is going to take on two long-established clans.

Such a gap is no longer simply a difference in strength.

That's something even a miracle couldn't achieve.

The support rates for both sides are clearly evident, even just from the odds offered by various casinos.

The Hestia Familia, whose betting percentage was less than one percent, joined forces with the Apollo and Ishtar Familias, whose betting percentage exceeded ninety-nine point nine percent.

Judging solely from the results, almost no one would support the victory of the Hestia Familia.

Of course, this also meant that quite a few people were betting on the Hestia Familia.

After all, gamblers are never short of the desire to win big with a small investment and to try their luck at a miracle.

From the guild's perspective, they have no choice but to take charge of this war game.

Even though the Ganesha Familia and the guild have basically confirmed that the culprits who destroyed the Soma Familia were the group of mysterious reincarnators residing under the Hestia Familia—

However, there is no evidence, and even if there were, they would probably find it difficult to bring the murderer to justice on their own.

So now they are pinning their hopes on war games, hoping that these guys of unknown origin will reveal some of their true intentions.

Beneath this turbulent atmosphere, however, lurks a turbulent undercurrent.

......

"Lady Freya, I'm so sorry..."

The speaker, a handsome, elegant elf with long golden hair and glasses, was Hedin Serland, a member of the Freya Familia.

A mage with LV6 strength, he and another member of the Freya Familia are known as the "White and Black Knights." As the commander of the Freya Familia, he possesses superior total spiritual power, magic control, and magical range compared to Riveria. In some ways, he is the strongest mage in Orario.

Within the Freya Familia, his strength is second only to the captain, Otto, making him an undisputed core member. And this is who he is—

Now, with a bruised and swollen face, and in a very disheveled state, he knelt before Freya.

He was obviously beaten up because of that.

Having learned of Freya's sorrow, Hedin took it upon himself to act, wanting to go to the insignificant Hestia Familia and bring back Bell Crane.

But the result was—

Before he could even step through the door of that shabby little church, Hedin suddenly felt a darkness before his eyes and found himself outside the city.

Standing before him was a blond elf just like him.

His name is Jer.

As an unknown figure, Hedin initially dismissed him with disdain.

But the result...

"Oh? He must be very strong to be able to defeat you."

Freya rested her chin on her hand on her throne, swirling the red wine in her hand, and whispered...

"He... is not an elf."

Despite his bruised and swollen face, which looked quite comical, Hedin still spoke in a muffled voice.

"It might be magic, but it must be some kind of magic I don't know about. In any case, he can transform into the appearance of some kind of monster..."

A jet-black demonic hound, a soaring fire eagle, a moon-summoning owl.

Jer, who can infinitely transform into various monster forms, gave Hedin a solid lesson. Even though Hedin possessed rare super-short spells and parallel chanting, giving him an advantage over ordinary magicians, he was still utterly defeated.

Although it is extremely humiliating to say this—

But Jer had no intention of killing him; otherwise, he would already be a corpse.

Hedin's reward also surprised the core members of Freya's Familia, who were all aware of his strength.

"Ha, as expected, those mysterious guests who are affiliated with Hestia are not easy to deal with."

Freya looked at the clear red liquid in her glass, but a strong sense of anxiety and unease appeared in her eyes.

After all, things had completely spiraled out of her control.

Bell Crane, the only child she found in the lower world over a thousand years, possessing a pure, clear white soul.

I originally planned to nurture him slowly and enjoy the joy of gradual development, but things turned out differently...

In the blink of an eye, he was out of his grasp.

These unknown visitors of dubious origin were unknown even to Uranus, and their strength was beyond question.

"My family, can you share my burdens?"

Freya's shimmering eyes swept across the crowd, and in the next instant, all the members of her kin knelt on one knee.

Loyalty, respect, beyond question

They would give anything for Freya; the entire kin who submit to the goddess would fight to the death for her.

Although Freya was anxious, she was not so anxious as to lose her mind.

Since someone is acting as a pawn, it is the rational and correct choice for her to stay behind the scenes and carefully observe the situation.

Bell Craney

What shape have you become?

......

"No matter what, we're sure to have some fun."

Loki hugged his leg with one hand and rolled around on the sofa like a yoga ball, chuckling.

"Whether it's the dwarf's mutated kin beating up those two nasty bastards, or the other way around, I'd be happy to see it!"

"But since Hestia is so confident, the former is more likely."

Riveria patted Loki on the head, glanced at him sideways, and after her chief god sat down obediently, she said softly.

"The strength of that leader, Leios, is beyond doubt, but I really can't imagine how a fourteen-year-old boy who just joined a familia could fight against two familias in just two weeks... Could it be that the goddess Hestia really used her power to modify that child?"

"Even divine power couldn't modify it~~~" Loki shrugged.

The gods are not omniscient or omnipotent beings. Although each of them has the power to destroy the lower realm with a single blow, that is all they are capable of.

Many gods' powers are limited to a particular area: fire, forging, thunder, beauty, wisdom...

Creating an invincible monster from scratch is not difficult, but transforming a child from the lower realm into an invincible superman in a very short time without harming his ego and instincts is almost a fantasy.

Only in mortal stories are gods portrayed as omnipotent and responsive to every request.

Even in mortal stories, don't gods often suffer setbacks for reasons that are as ordinary as those of mortals?

Ultimately, great power and omnipotence are two completely different things.

If they were truly omnipotent, they wouldn't have been playing this game for a thousand years.

"That strange guy said he's introduced some fresh new elements to our clan system."

Loki stroked his chin with interest.

"To be honest, I'm actually looking forward to seeing him produce results that will surprise me."

Whether Qiu Hai's actions are good or evil is irrelevant, but if what he said comes true, there will indeed be many gods on his side.

After all, just as he said, how could one not get tired of playing the same version for a thousand years? It's only natural to look forward to version updates.

Riveria glanced at Loki with a hint of helplessness. That was just the nature of her own god; he loved excitement and joy, and he didn't care if it brought chaos.

"If Hestia did these things, whether or not she did them, it would mean the overthrow of the current Familia system."

Finn, who had been silent, finally spoke. He touched the magic spear in his arms and murmured...

"What will our stance be at that time? If such an opportunity really comes along, should we seize it?"

Or rather, as those who occupy the highest ecological niche in this 'conservative' order, should they recklessly destroy the new forces in order to maintain their current comfort zone?

As they spoke, Ais, standing beside them, silently gripped her sword tighter.

Power...more power.

the other side

Bell rushed back to his clan's settlement after emerging from the underground city, but through the conversations of passersby, he learned what had happened.

Feeling bewildered and nervous, he hurriedly returned to the foot of the small chapel, but he did not find Hestia; instead, he found Qiuhai waiting there.

He seemed to have been waiting for a long time, and invited him to sit down at a table set with steaming hot black tea and cake.

Before Bell could speak, he handed him the black tea and then said with a smile.

"How does it feel? What's it like to be a 'demigod'?"
