However, apart from Freya and a few others, everyone's attention was focused on the crossbow in his hand.

"Just what is the origin of that incredibly powerful 'demon sword'?! Hephaestus, what do you think?!"

Ganesha, who was providing the commentary, shifted the camera's focus to Hephaestus's head with great interest, and the Craftswoman, who had been suddenly called upon, responded after a slight discomfort.

"That's not a magic sword, nor is it a weapon that stores magic; it's a... thermal weapon that creates chemical and physical phenomena."

As the goddess of craftsmen, Hephaestus was naturally aware of the existence of firearms.

The gods know far more than the course of history of this world, especially those things related to their divine duties. However, knowing is one thing, but being human, they cannot freely exercise these knowledge.

"Oh? Firearms? That sounds pretty impressive!"

Ganesha, who knew absolutely nothing, pretended to understand and shouted loudly.

But for those who can recognize the value of this weapon, the shock it brings is undeniable.

A weapon that can cause magic-like damage without requiring magic to power it?

Riveria clenched her fists involuntarily. For an elf who was born with an advantage in magic but also cherished a primitive lifestyle, this was by no means a good thing.

After all, the elven kingdom had been invaded and destroyed by Lagia because of the 'Sword of Crozo'. If an even more convenient 'Sword of Crozo' were created...

The live stream and commentary in front of the guild were at full throttle, with the amplified dialogue echoing throughout the city.

At the same time, on the Tower of Babel built in the central square, many gods marveled at it.

"Is this what Hestia relies on? Such powerful weapons!"

"Isn't this a bit too much of a cheat? Isn't this just winning purely by relying on weapons?"

"That's part of strength too!"

Amidst the gods' discussion, Apollo's expression twisted in agony. He glared at Hestia with resentment, but before he could speak, Hestia interrupted him.

"Yes, they gave Bell this weapon too. But you didn't say we couldn't use their stuff!"

Apollo was speechless, and he glared at Hestia with a look of utter rage, revealing his bright white teeth.

That's true; they can't use people, but they don't have regulations on weapons.

However, this cannot be blamed on them. After all, according to common sense, even a powerful magic sword has requirements for its user.

But there are no rules of the day here.

This thing worked like a fish in water for Bell.

on the battlefield

After a barrage of attacks, Bell put away his Griffin Cannon.

After all, Apollo's retinue had already been scattered by him, and continuing the bombing would simply be a massacre.

Although it is highly unlikely, Bale still hopes to achieve victory with zero casualties.

He ignored the direction of Apollo's Familia and looked in the other direction.

The Ishtar Familia is the main force in this war game. With one LV5 adventurer and several LV3 adventurers, their strength is unmatched by the Apollo Familia.

Without hesitation, Bell began running towards the direction of the Ishtar Familia.

But just as he was passing a pile of rocks, suddenly, a gust of wind struck him.

Hyacinthus, his face contorted with rage, ended his hiding and thrust his longsword toward Bell's chest!

But this hidden assassination attempt was easily evaded by Bale, as if he had anticipated it.

"You've already lost. Lie down; that's the best outcome for you."

Bell's words, spoken with pity, were interpreted as humiliation by Hyacinthus, whose handsome face twisted in agony as he let out a sharp, piercing scream.

"Bell Craney!!!"

Chapter 29: 133. Clearing the Ishtar Familia

As the leader of Apollo's family, he is a descendant favored and loved by Apollo.

Without the great blessing of Apollo, he, whose face was distorted since childhood, would surely still be living in darkness and despair.

This body shines because of Apollo's glory, so how can I easily give it up?!

After his clan was blasted to pieces and all his preparations were shattered like a joke, the enraged Hyacinthus decided to launch a final assault.

The duel between the generals ignited a frenzy of excitement throughout the city, with spectators clenching their fists and cheering amidst the clash of titans.

The audience, caught up in a frenzy, roared incoherently at the unfolding battle, anticipating a great duel between evenly matched opponents!

Then--

Bell merely dodged Hyacinthus's assassination attempt, then raised his hand and punched the hot-blooded Hyacinthus to the ground.

The cheering crowd abruptly stopped, falling into a state of bewilderment and confusion.

"...That's it?"

Loki even opened his narrowed eyes incredulously.

Just how strong is this child who knocked out a Level 3 adventurer in an instant?

Bell caught the unconscious Hyacinthus and laid him flat on the ground. At the same time, an even stronger sense of danger made him jump out of his spot!

boom! ! !

Just as he jumped, the unrefined destruction created a one-meter-wide crater in the ground beneath his feet, and at that moment, the attacker revealed his true form.

"It didn't hit? This little invisible thing isn't so useful after all."

The enormous, toad-like, repulsive tank ripped off its cloak and gave Bell a smile that made one feel physically uncomfortable.

Hades Helmet – The only people in Orario who can provide this item are the Hermes Familia, or rather, their leader Asphi.

But shouldn't Hermes have supported Bel Crane? After all, he had a close relationship with Zeus... It seems that it might have been Uranus's idea.

Bell didn't think that much, nor could he possibly know that much; his gaze was entirely focused on the fighting prostitutes surrounding him.

Surrounded by so many scantily clad older women, Belle's face instantly turned red.

"Were you attracted by my beauty? No wonder."

Freni cupped her face and spoke in an even more disgusting tone, successfully making Bell's flushed face turn pale, and all romantic thoughts vanished from her mind.

"At this distance, you can't use those long-range weapons, right?"

Aisha stared at the griffin cannon behind Bell, frowning.

"You'd better surrender quickly, even if you're very strong..."

"They couldn't possibly be a match for so many of us."

Samira rubbed the battle blade against her honey-colored skin, licked her lips, and said with a hint of allure.

"Stop talking nonsense, I'm going first!!!"

Frini was the most impatient. This tall and bulky Amazonian giant had no magic or special skills. The only skill she could be called was a berserk state that traded reason for power.

In other words, a meat shield with extremely thick skin and flesh.

The three of them attacked simultaneously, while more Amazons stood by, watching intently, ready to join the fray at any moment.

Currently, Bell is unwilling to use the 'power' within his body, and is only fighting with his physical body.

Therefore, he was caught in a tough battle.

The moment Bell's back slammed into the broken wall, a sharp pain shot through his shoulder blade, causing him to groan. Samira's blade grazed his side, tearing leather mixed with blood splattering onto the ground, while Florini's solid, massive fist, accompanied by a stench of blood, was already hurtling towards him.

He suddenly curled up, his fist slamming against the broken wall, grazing his nose. Gravel rained down on his open collar, stinging his neck with a burning pain.

"Don't hide, handsome guy!"

Aisha's attack came from the left, forcing him to roll to the right. The rough ground scraped his elbows, and before he could regain his balance, he was struck hard in the lower back by Frini's knee.

The acid in his stomach surged up his throat instantly. He staggered and tried to roll backward to dodge, but was hit on the temple by stones thrown by the surrounding Amazons.

Not fatal, but it made him feel dizzy. He tried to sit up, only to find his right wrist swollen badly—it was difficult to even grip his weapon now, having just blocked Frini's heavy punch. The Griffin Cannon was thrown three meters away, where Aisha stepped on the barrel of the gun.

A siege, a relentless and shameless siege.

What the entire city of Orario witnessed was a bullying spree devoid of any justice or shame.

"Bell!"

Hestia clenched her fists anxiously, while Apollo seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. As for Ishtar, she looked at the expressionless Freya and revealed a cold-blooded and twisted smile.

Although Ishtar didn't know why Freya cared so much about this kid, and even felt a strong anger from him just now, he didn't need to know why.

All she needed to do was make sure that she could use this kid to deal a heavy blow to Freya!

Almost everyone believed that Bell Craney had failed.

Countless voices that cheered for him turned to support these Amazons, while insults, ridicule, and sarcasm seemed to be everywhere.

Bell couldn't hear these sounds; he only felt excruciating pain all over his body.

His fingernails dug deep into the ground, and the stinging pain of pebbles embedded in his palms brought him back to his senses. The wound on his back was throbbing with pain from being soaked in sweat, and every breath pulled at his ribs, but when he saw the three figures gradually approaching, a flame suddenly ignited in his pupils.

He cannot, and should not, lose here.

Hestia risked everything for him, and he should give everything for his god in return!

As for whether this power is cheating, or whether it should not exist at all?

Mr. Guss was right: only with power can one have choices, and only then can one have the luxury of controlling one's own power!

Now, he needs this power.

"Lightning—"

The deep chanting had barely begun when the three people gathered around were taken aback. Bell's voice was hoarse, as if it had been sanded, yet it carried an undeniable authority.

"Obey my command!"

He suddenly raised his head, his previously disheveled heterochromatic eyes now shining with astonishing brightness. The sky had been shrouded in dark clouds, and the moment the first bolt of lightning ripped through the heavens, his curled right hand suddenly opened, a violent current exploding into a silver-blue ball of light in his palm. Crackling lightning snakes slithered between his fingers, stirring up a fine mist of blood at the gruesome wound on his wrist.

Bell extended his right hand, palm up, and countless tiny electric currents began to gather and coil in his palm, gradually condensing into a lightning spear radiating a chilling aura. The currents on the spear leaped and crackled, seemingly ready to break free and unleash devastating power at any moment.

"flame--"

Bell pressed his left hand against the scorching ground, and the charred earth suddenly burst into orange-red flames. The flames climbed up his arm, a tongue of fire rising half a foot high from the abrasion on his elbow, crackling and burning the grit clinging to his skin. The flames coalesced into the outline of a shield.

Freni was the first to react, her berserk giant fist slamming towards his face with a whooshing sound. But this time, Bell didn't dodge. He stomped his left foot hard on the ground, cracking the earth and spreading outwards like a spiderweb from his foot. The lightning spear hummed and extended in his palm, its tip crackling with electricity, tearing through the air three times faster than Freni's fist.

Hero's Wish, Activated

This skill was originally a cheat code for Bell Crane.

Even without altering his bloodline, he can directly acquire the abilities of the hero he envisions through this unreasonable skill.

Bell's mind uncontrollably conjures up images of heroes, and the object of his contemplation, given to him by this skill, is named Achilles.

However, this is not Achilles of his world.

In this world, Achilles is a hero who defended his city and died from exhaustion under the siege of countless monsters, but what Bell imagines is a being with the same name but completely different!

He was a raider, a war hero, and a monster of gods.

For honor, I'll join a war that has nothing to do with me. To kill women's husbands, children's fathers, to attack cities protected by the gods and gain glory for myself!

Yes, this is a hero from another world.

As Mr. Qiuhai said, the story of that world belongs to the demigods, and compared to monsters, the story of the demigods focuses more on 'humans', with monsters being merely an embellishment.

Bell will not judge whether they are right or wrong.

But the skill of the hero's wish, obtained from divine blood, was activated.

At this moment, Bell exuded a chilling aura, like the legendary Achilles on the battlefield, with a surge of resolute courage and contempt for everything rising in his heart!

He looked down at these fighting prostitutes with arrogance and disdain.

He started running, his feet leaving two deep footprints in the ground, and he shot out like a black lightning bolt, rushing towards the group of fighting prostitutes.

The tide of battle turned in an instant.

No one could catch his movements; as he began to run like Achilles, he was an unseen phantom in the eyes of these fighting prostitutes!

Wherever Bell went, lightning raged. The once confident fighting prostitutes were thrown into disarray by Bell's sudden and powerful attack. Freni was the first to rush forward, trying to block Bell's path with her massive body.

However, Bell was too fast. Before she could react, the lightning spear in Bell's hand struck her like a silver meteor. With a scream, Freni's tall body was sent flying by the powerful electric current, crashing heavily to the ground, her body billowing black smoke, and she lost her ability to fight.
