I'm tied to Athena.

Athena came out of the room when Ailei came back at night. She had adjusted herself and looked no different from usual, but Ailei, who had been with Athena for several months, noticed something was wrong.

This child must be too happy today. He has been laughing non-stop.

After dinner, Athena locked herself in the room again. Ai Lei felt that something was wrong, so she ran to Li Yun and asked, "Don't you think Athena is a little strange today?"

"..... Maybe you haven't decided whether to go back with me." Li Yun spread his hands and told his plan. Then he paused and continued, "The three of us come from different worlds. We all want to go back, but the way home is different. Maybe... no, we will definitely go our separate ways one day."

"I'm relieved by your words. But Athena...I'm still worried."

"That's true." After listening to Li Yun's words, Ai Lei's expression suddenly changed a little... Li Yun was right, the three of them came from different worlds, and although they all had the same goal, in the end... they would all be separated one after another because of different stops.

Athena is fine. She is the god of disobedience, and the only motivation that supports her to go back is revenge.

She wanted revenge on Zeus and everything he had done to her. After the revenge was over, Athena would no longer have her own goals, so it didn't matter if she followed Li Yun to his world.

But Ai Lei is different, she is the goddess of the underworld, the goddess who controls the order of the underworld. If the underworld is without her, the whole world will be in chaos, she can't go back with Li Yun and Athena, she is destined to get off at a certain station.

Life here is very happy. Although she complains about working too much every day, having a home where she can say "I'm back" after getting off work every day is the best gift for her.

She was reluctant to give up the gift, but she couldn't give up her mission either...

I was just a little sad because Li Yun only considered Athena and not her....

"What's wrong?" Ai Lei's somewhat lost expression caught Li Yun's attention.

"Ah, nothing..." Hiding a hint of sadness in her heart, Ailei showed the same expression as before, "That's true. Without us, Athena will definitely return to her original state."

"There's nothing else I can do. Let me help! I'll make her go home with you!"

"Thank you."

Ai Lei forced a smile, then used being tired as an excuse and went back to her room.

Li Yun was the only one sitting in the huge living room.

"Ah..." Li Yun sighed softly and buried his body in the sofa behind him. He murmured softly: "I am not a saint, I can't save everyone. But Ai Lei, you are our family, how could we leave you out."

"I will definitely change your fate! Definitely!"

As Li Yun himself said, he is just an ordinary person, he can't save the world and become a warrior. All he can do is to reach out to the people around him and protect them, that's all.

He has to protect Athena and also Elle.

However, unlike Athena's situation, Ailei bears the responsibility given by the gods, which is a duty that no one can take away. Even Li Yun has no way to save Ailei now.

So, he chose to remain silent. When he was absolutely sure, he smiled and said to her, "Let's go back together.

PS: Interrupted by Ailei? How could the author let you guess the plot so easily? (laughs)

PS: I don’t know if the next one can be released before 12 o’clock... (It’s definitely not because the author is addicted to unlimited firepower)

Chapter 120 I also want to meet someone who doesn’t care about my status as the Lord of the Underworld and treats me as an equal

Ereshkigal is the daughter of An, the lord of the gods in Sumerian mythology, and is also the goddess of the underworld who is responsible for managing all order in the underworld.

Funny enough, Elle was not destined to be born as the goddess of the underworld.

It's just that before Ailei was born, the underworld had no ruler, and the Sumerian gods refused to become the lord of the underworld because there was nothing in the underworld and once they became the lord of the underworld, they would never be able to leave the underworld. They advised An Jin that as the lord of the gods, you should not force this task on us.

Helpless An finally decided to let his child become the lord of the underworld to warn the gods that he is fair and selfless.

The reason why Ailei was chosen is very simple - she is the older sister.

She was born earlier than her sister Ishtar, the mistress of the sky, and as the elder sister, she should bear more responsibilities and duties. With this idea in mind, An, without Ailei's consent, gave her the position of Lord of the Underworld the moment she was born.

When Athena saw Elle, she said that Elle was like a lady in the boudoir, innocent. This is true. After becoming the Lord of the Underworld, you can no longer leave the Underworld, so Elle is a lady who lives in the Underworld and has never set foot in human society.

From birth to growing up, Ailei has never left the underworld. But even if she has never been in contact with human society, she knows that she is the god of death, the god who takes other people's lives.

Therefore, the fact that she was disliked and could not be seen in public made her very distressed.

I also want to fly freely in the sky like Ishtar. I also want to go out and see the mountains, rivers, flowers, and trees outside. I also want to meet someone who can accept me as the Lord of the Underworld even if he knows that I am the Lord of the Underworld, and who can treat me as an equal without caring about my identity as the Lord of the Underworld.

Ailei has a series of girlish wishes.

But the pain, loneliness, and solitude... the unique atmosphere of the underworld continued to squeeze Elle, making her heart more and more sad and resentful... making her resent and hate humans - although she could not deny that she was a villain, even a bad person could be useful to humans, so why were everyone so afraid of me!

But even so, Ailei still sticks to her last bottom line.

Deep in her heart, she still loves humans.

How could Li Yun not save such a heartbreaking girl?

only.....

A faint sigh echoed in the silent living room. He was just an ordinary person, an ordinary person who had obtained a part of Athena's divine power. As such, he had no confidence to say to Elle, "I will save you."

“I have to become even stronger…” The black-haired boy clenched his fists and sighed softly.

The next morning, Li Yun and the other two acted as if nothing had happened and quietly enjoyed the time that belonged to them.

After breakfast, Ai Lei hurried to work, while Li Yun came to update his own values.

Liyun.

Lv.2

Strength: H130 → D530

Durability: I89 → E420

Smart: I98 → E455

Agility: H160 → D555

Magic: I0 → H101

Lucky:I

This was Li Yun's updated attribute. All attributes had increased by several thousand. With a little more effort, he would be able to reach the upgrade standard. However, he was still a little dissatisfied.

Li Yun has no intention of upgrading without raising all attributes except magic power to SSS.

After updating the attributes, Li Yun came to the base camp of Loki's clan, and Finn asked him to come over to discuss the reward.

Although Loki's family expedition reached the 59th floor this time and obtained many rare drops and herbs, asking Hephaestus' family for help and asking them to forge several indestructible weapons used up most of Loki's family's money.

Even if they sold all the materials obtained from the expedition, it might not be enough to fill this gap.

When returning from the expedition, Li Yun and Finn mentioned this matter. The leader of the Dwarf Tribe, who was known as a brave warrior, looked at him with an extremely helpless expression, "Please, Li Yun, don't mention this matter, let me escape from reality for a while."

Before Li Yun entered the Loki clan's base camp, he heard cheers coming from inside.

After he went in, he saw the laughing Amazon sisters in the courtyard, as well as Bert, a white-haired werewolf with his mouth curled up wildly and his arrogance completely unconcealed.

"What's wrong?" He walked forward and asked curiously.

"Ah, it's Li Yun." When Diona saw the boy, she immediately ran over like the wind. She placed the parchment in front of Li Yun and said, "Hey, Li Yun, I've leveled up. I've finally reached level 6!"

"Not only me, my sister and Bert have also entered LV6."

"LV6?" Li Yun was a little surprised. Although Ai Si's entry into LV6 first was a signal, it was indeed unexpected that Diona and the other two followed Ai Si into LV6 so quickly.

But if you think about it carefully, it doesn't seem unacceptable.

After all, this expedition was too difficult. If it weren't for Li Yun and the three giants, they would not have been able to come back alive.

"Congratulations." Aisi and four other LV5s advanced to LV6, which means that Loki's family now has seven LV6 members, occupying several of the top ten strongest adventurers in Orario.

Even if there is no LV7 adventurer who can rival Ota, judging from the strength on paper alone, Loki's family is no less powerful than Freya's family.

Oh, by the way, even after such an adventure, the three giants Finn, Riveria, and Grace still haven't reached the LV7 realm.

"Is the realm from LV6 to LV7 so far away?" Li Yun and the high-level members of the Loki clan sat in the courtyard and chatted.

Finn and the other two were adventurers who came earlier than Ota. According to their age, they were all over 40 years old. Whether it was Finn or Livilia.

"There's nothing we can do about it. Livilia, the captain, and Grace all have one attribute that's above B, but the other attributes are still hovering between G or F. The better ones may have E or D, but that alone doesn't meet the standard for upgrading."

"Didn't Aisi contribute a lot in this expedition? But the total increase of all her attributes is less than 500."

"It's harder to level up as we advance. There's nothing we can do about it." Tione shrugged. "All we can do is keep taking risks. As long as we don't stop, we'll eventually reach the upgrade standard."

"Continuous adventure..." Li Yun heard and murmured in a low voice.

PS: The author's long-awaited book recommendation, "I am Levi, a tough guy"

Introduction: Levi: Xiao Mo, you asked me to help take care of Aunt Arthur, am I not doing a good job?

Mordred (drawing his sword): No, you did great!

----------

This is a story about a peerless macho man who can poke a hole in the sky when he stands up, crush the ground when he sits down, and can run horses on his arms and people stand on his fists.

PS: By the way, "I am Lu Bu, What Can I Do for You" was written by Bubu. It's just a pity that Bubu was unlucky and his driving was banned, so that our group of authors now have such a reminder to the driving authors - Lu Bu warning (laughs)

Chapter 121 The Benefits of Joining a Great Family

While everyone was talking enthusiastically about upgrading, Lefiya also walked out of the house.

"Lefiya, come here." Diona called the somewhat stiff Lefiya over, "So, so, can you level up?"

"That... well, it's ready for upgrading." When Loki was molesting her, he excitedly told her that it was ready for upgrading.

How to judge whether the adventurer can level up mainly depends on whether the sacred words on the adventurer's back, which are arranged like vermilion inscriptions, glow. As long as the sacred words glow, it means that the adventurer can level up.

When Lefiya knew that she could level up, she was very excited.

She grabbed her clothes with both hands to cover her naked body, and crawled to Loki. After getting his confirmation, she almost jumped up to vent her joy.

After all, to be honest, Lefiya almost lost her life several times during this adventure.

At Lv3, he raced through the deep areas where even the first-level adventurers like Ai Si were struggling. Through his own will and hard work, he risked everything to complete his adventure, write his own heroic story, and successfully come back alive.

How could such a great achievement fail to meet the upgrade standards?

However, Loki told her not to rush to upgrade her level.

Lefiya's current attributes are Strength I, Durability H, Dexterity G, Agility G and Magic B. There is still a lot of room for improvement, so Loki appealed to her emotions and reason and made Lefiya give up her plan to upgrade.

The result was Lefiya's face full of mischief.

"Is your magic power only B?" Tione looked at Lefiya's attributes and said, "It's true that you shouldn't level up so quickly."

"Wow... Miss Dione said the same thing..." Lefiya whimpered like a pitiful little animal.

"Lefiya, when you reached Level 3, your magic attribute was S, right?" Dione explained like a caring older sister. "This means that you have an exaggerated talent for magic."

"This talent is not inferior to Livilia's. I think it would be a waste if I upgrade it at this stage. I think Loki thinks so too."

"I agree with what my sister said on this point, Lefiya. I think it would be better for you to fill yourself up. Let the magic fill your body until it can't hold any more. Then upgrade, it will be better this way." Diona also nodded.

At this level, Lefiya still has room to grow. She has not yet reached the limit of her ability and can continue to rise.

For members of a general faction, level upgrade is the priority option. Because level upgrade is a qualitative change, as long as you can level up, you can actually become stronger. Instead of working hard to brush up the last few dozen or hundreds of attributes, it is better to upgrade directly.

But when people of the same level compete with each other, what is the factor that determines victory or defeat?

To put it simply, it is the difference in ability parameters.

Next are the ability parameters developed in the previous levels, which are the potential values ​​reflected in the current level.

Of course, the fight between adventurers is not just a simple competition of numbers, but the side with numerical advantage will have a better chance of winning, right?

Other factions need combat power to explore the maze and open new experience copies, so leveling up is the first task. But the Loki clan is different. They are the clan that has successfully reached the 59th floor and opened the experience copy to a new level. They will not be unable to accumulate experience.

Under the care of the three giants, the adventurers of Loki's clan can fully improve their abilities to the limit and then upgrade.

The words of the Amazon sisters made Lefiya nod with sobs, "I will continue to work hard and strive to increase my magic power to S."

"Speaking of which, Li Yun, have you updated your stats?" As everyone was talking, they suddenly set their sights on Li Yun. "Li Yun contributed the most to this expedition. That should be enough for you to level up, right?"

"Unfortunately, I haven't reached the upgrade standard yet..." Li Yun spread his hands, "After reaching LV2, I feel that it is becoming increasingly difficult to upgrade. Although this expedition has yielded a lot of rewards, it is not enough to support me to reach LV3."

"No way?" Everyone was shocked. Even such an expedition could not support Li Yun to level up... Did he need too much experience points?

"I don't know either, but like you said, as long as you keep taking risks, your level will definitely go up."

In order to raise his level as quickly as possible, Li Yun has already started planning a solo expedition. The Loki clan has already reached the deepest level that can be reached at this stage, and they will definitely not go on another expedition in the short term. In this case, it is time for Li Yun to put a solo expedition on the agenda.

These two expeditions with Loki's family gave Li Yun a deep understanding of the dungeon. Even if he encountered an emergency, he would not panic because he didn't know anything.

"Hey, Liyun, have you been waiting for a long time?" Everyone persuaded Lefiya, and then Finn came out of the house. The three of them were the last to update the data.
