My anime character is in the infinite flow search and fight

Hestia clenched her hands tightly, her pale face contorted with fear. She didn't know what the consequences of Bell's actions would be. The gods could return to heaven using their divine power, but what about Bell, who wasn't a god?

What price will he have to pay?

Ego sum filius fulminis, bearer of eternal flame (I am the son of thunder, wielding the eternal flame) —

Bell suddenly raised his right hand, and the spiraling pillar of energy roared into the sky, exploding into billions of points of light within the cloud vortex. Those points of light did not dissipate; instead, amidst Piton's terrified screams, they recombine, transforming into a colossal spear that pierced the heavens and the earth!

The spearhead is a bolt of lightning capable of tearing apart divine power, the shaft is wreathed in flames that purify everything, and the spear tail trails a band of light condensed from divine power of supplication.

"Ira dei, perish in the light!"

The moment the giant spear fell, time was frozen completely. The sacred fragments on Piton's body stopped burning, the twisted tumors ceased writhing, and even its earthquake-inducing crawling motion froze in place.

Only the hem of Bell's cloak still swayed gently. His body shattered inch by inch, and he regressed back to the white-haired boy of the past. He seemed to see his grandfather nodding in the clouds, Hestia's flames leaping on the spear tip, and the figures of his deceased family members waving to him in the band of light.

The next second, a deafening explosion engulfed the entire plain. The golden divine abomination's body crumbled inch by inch in the lightning, the eerie blue flames were purified into a sky full of starlight, and even its suffocating divine power evaporated and dissipated in the flames. The adventurers below the city walls instinctively closed their eyes, and when they opened them again, they saw a bottomless crater left in the center of the plain.

Chapter 35: 139. A Prisoner Under the Steps (Bonus Chapter, Please Vote!)

The divine monster was killed and destroyed by the great god's lightning strike.

The monster created from the bloodline that contained incomplete Apollo's divine power was ultimately no match for the might of the great god Zeus.

Using divine power in the body of a deity is illegal and taboo, but wielding divine power in the body of a mortal or monster is perfectly reasonable.

Although the rules are rigid, the discretion within them is meant for the gods to use for amusement.

If anyone is to blame, it's the gods for being too greedy for pleasure and not having spent a thousand years studying these subjects.

But whatever the case, this god-like monster, Piton, which could have caused the destruction of the lower realm, was destroyed outside Orario.

What about Bell Craney?

His body, which had been modified by the blood of the Hestia god, reverted to its original form, turning back into that white-haired, red-eyed, and seemingly weak boy like a rabbit.

He fell from the sky, crashing helplessly to the ground. Just as he was about to be smashed to pieces, a golden figure caught him.

Sword Maiden Ais looked at Bell, who had returned to his boyish form in her arms, with a complicated expression, and finally her gaze settled on the black wristwatch on his wrist.

A look of doubt appeared in Ais's eyes.

It seems like... she's seen the same thing somewhere before.

thunderous cheers

The adventurers raised their hands, put their arms around each other, or even shouted "Long live!" with tears in their eyes. The chipped swords, spears, axes, and shields in their hands seemed to be singing a triumphant song, gleaming with silver light.

The inarticulate sound waves reverberated like a tsunami, shaking the entire plain.

An unparalleled monster appears, plunging the world into despair, but heroes use their power to turn the tide.

A very traditional heroic legend.

They chanted Bell Craney's name, unaware of what had happened behind the scenes or what this force represented, but for that moment, cheers were all they needed to hear.

However, they quickly left because the dungeon, teeming with monsters, was still waiting for them to deal with.

But when they arrived, they did not see the horrific scene of monsters running rampant.

What they saw were a few people standing amidst mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

The guild square, which leads directly to the entrance to the Orario dungeon, is now piled high with the corpses of monsters that haven't had their magic stones removed.

Guts, clad in berserker armor, breathed evenly. Dozens of young dragons lay dead around him, including a black-skinned Goliath giant and a two-headed dragon. The dragon-slaying sword in his hand was shrouded in a dark aura, as if devouring the souls of these monsters.

Stak and Jell sat back to back smoking, while the Dragon Knight and Druid seemed exhausted from the battle.

Leos looked rather horrifying, especially with the blood still sticking to his lips and the several monster corpses he was carrying.

While the adventurers from Orario went to stop Piton, all of them spontaneously fought against the seemingly endless monsters surging from the dungeon.

Undoubtedly, this is also the act of a hero.

This applies to both combat effectiveness and behavior.

Just looking at the mountains of monster corpses piled up here, which should only appear in the deepest parts of the dungeon, one can imagine how fierce the battle must have been.

Heroes fight and battle to save the world; surely flowers and applause await them next!

But the reality at this moment is that they are considered 'enemies' by the entire Orario.

Do you think we can explain this to them?

Leos dropped the young dragon's wings, sat down on the ground, rubbed his hungry stomach, and whispered to Gus beside him, "..."

Guts did not answer. He simply planted the Dragon Slayer Sword in the corpse, sat down cross-legged, and lowered his head. His body was trembling, and his breathing was accompanied by a beast-like roar. He was clearly trying to suppress himself.

Leo immediately understood Gus's situation and meaning. He then looked at Stank and Jer, his gaze lingering briefly on the air.

It seems everyone agrees.

Looking at the menacing eyes around him, he thought for a moment, then slowly raised his hands.

"Hey, can we reconcile?"

......

Cold, shaking

Bell awoke amid excruciating pain coursing through his body.

"Woo~~~~"

The pain spreading throughout his body seemed to be tearing his body apart constantly, causing Bell to let out painful cries even though he had just woken up.

He struggled to move his body and sit up, only to find that he felt as if his body was bound by something.

He was surrounded by darkness; he couldn't see where he was or what his condition was.

After several difficult struggles, he finally managed to sit up, and the first thing he saw was—

"Mr. Gus?"

Bell stared wide-eyed at Gus, who was bound in front of him, and then he realized that it seemed everyone else was there too.

Everyone here is except for Mr. Akimi, Mr. Suzuki, and Kazuma.

Gus seemed to have been awakened by Bell's commotion as well. He slightly opened one eye, then said calmly...

"No need to look anymore, we've already been locked up by the people here."

Bell then realized that they seemed to be in a cell below the guild, the cramped environment and smells, and the shackles binding their bodies.

"...Why did it turn out like this?"

Bell couldn't help but exhale and whispered.

He didn't expect to be worshipped as a hero, but he certainly never imagined he would end up as a prisoner.

"Because your presence has already interfered with the game for most of them."

Jer, who was also locked up next to him, said nonchalantly

"The grace of the gods, the clan system—this game that has lasted for a thousand years has developed a huge flaw because of your existence. After all, no matter what, you have indeed shown them the opportunity to 'rise to the top in one step'."

Bell was able to wield such immense power only after Qiu Hai enhanced his initial divine bloodline and activated the divine blood of Zeus and Hestia within him.

Ultimately, however, this is indeed the result of a discussion surrounding the element of 'divine blood' that was originally hidden within the clan system.

Familia Game is a massive MMORPG where gods take on the role of players raising their own Familia and experiencing the joy of growth step by step.

There may be many players who prefer a casual lifestyle approach to this game, but ultimately, it will inevitably be a simulation game centered around the element of 'leveling up,' with the goal of creating a stronger character.

Bell's existence is like discovering a 'one-click max level' bug in a normal MMORPG.

So, for the gods who are game players, there are only two choices.

They also exploited this bug to skip the fun of leveling up their characters and directly max out their character's level to enjoy the resource acquisition brought by top-tier characters.

Fix this bug and strictly prohibit everyone from using it, so as to preserve their enjoyment of the game.

But whichever it is, the final result must be to find out how it was done by Bell.

But Akimi had already left, and Suzuki Satoru had also left after creating a satisfactory experimental subject of the Divine Abomination.

Bell, who remained behind, was now completely powerless due to overdrawing his divine power, and was naturally at their mercy.

"Then what about you, Mr. Guts? You were clearly saving Orario..."

"Suzuki betrayed us without a word. Although we can understand his actions, it's clear that we're seen as being in cahoots."

Staktan chose to explain in a way that Bell could understand.

"But strictly speaking, we only met by chance and decided to cooperate temporarily. There is no betrayal or accomplice involved."

They helped defeat the monsters invading Orario, but in doing so, they also lost a considerable amount of strength. Their enhanced abilities also made them less suited for continuous combat, and by then they were surrounded by Orario's Familia.

They could fight their way out, but firstly, they had already used up a lot of energy dealing with the dungeon monsters, and it was hard to say whether they would be punished by the desperate gods if they angered all the goddesses of Orario. Moreover, their moral bottom line meant they couldn't make the decision to just kill and kill.

After all, Guts was the strongest fighter here, and the most likely to escape, but Guts was in such a 'good' state at the time that if the killing continued, he would definitely lose control...

Suzuki Satoru's advice was really good. If they didn't take advantage of the chaos to run away, they would be in a predicament where the gods might not care about their reputation and let them catch them.

"How could this happen..." Bell opened her mouth slightly, her expression one of utter disappointment.

This might be the first time in his life he's truly confronted the gray areas of human relationships, but the seasoned veterans in front of him clearly didn't care.

Surrender? How could that be?

If they hadn't prepared an escape route, how could they have been so easily captured?

They are indeed good people with a high sense of morality, but that doesn't mean they are brainless idiots. They had already prepared to run away before surrendering.

A rustling sound came from outside the door.

Guts opened his eyes, the berserker armor on his body making a scraping sound. His 'injuries' seemed to have vanished, and the chains binding him snapped open.

If he wanted to go out, he could have easily fought his way out; he just wanted to wait for a retreat that would be good for both sides.

As Guts stood up, what he saw outside the door wasn't Kazuma Sato, but a shadow about his own height.

He frowned. Kazuma, standing not far from the doorway, waved to them with an awkward smile, while those standing beside him were all members of the Freya Familia.

And standing before the prison gate was none other than Ota, the leader of the Freya Familia and a Level 7 adventurer.

"Bell Crane, come out, Lady Freya wants to see you."

He said this to Bell in the cell.

P.S.: Since everyone doesn't seem to like seeing the main character's scenes, the main character will only appear in the final battle of Volume 2. This part is essential for pushing the main storyline forward, so I'll write less about it in the future. Orario's scenes will end tomorrow.

Chapter 36: 140. Take him!

"Such things must be stopped!!!"

"Why should we stop it? I think it's great, hehe, that child is starting to look just like us~~~"

"A demigod, have the legends fabricated by mortals actually come true? Could that child really be a descendant of Zeus?"

"Shouldn't it be Hestia's child?!"

"Impossible! Impossible! Hestia is a virgin forever!"

At this moment, on the thirtieth floor of the Tower of Babel, the grand assembly of all the gods of Orario, is in full swing.

The gods were constantly arguing, laughing, and gossiping.

The focus of the discussion is undoubtedly only one thing—Bell Crane and his identity as a demigod.

The two sides in the discussion initially had only one goal: how to deal with Bell.

Some gods advocated letting him go because he saved Orario. Others felt he should be killed while he was still weak, lest he spoil the fun of the game.

However, unsurprisingly, after only a few words, the two sides started hurling insults and even physically assaulting each other.

Hermes, who was mixed in with the crowd, was actually on the side that supported the punishment of Bell.

Although he was entrusted by Zeus to help Bell, he was clearly the kind of player who focused on the process of raising his clan.

Of course, he didn't support Bell's execution, but rather hoped to find a way to erase the demigod bloodline from him.

What he objected to was merely that the existence of this demigod bloodline made their woven Familiar Myth a joke.
