They knew exactly what they were doing, and this time they would not hesitate or hesitate. To them, all the adventurers had given up on them, and only the fishman had saved their loved ones with blood and tears. Even the monsters knew where they stood.

There is no compromise.

The stone fell on Bert, causing his arrogance to falter.

He never expected that so many people would defend this monster. He didn't understand what was wrong with the world, he just thought everyone else was crazy.

"You... stinky fish, have you been bewitched by this mermaid?"

He roared, and his fierce aura scared away some people, but they did not leave, but still surrounded Bert.

Just as Bert was getting impatient and wanted to launch another attack, a long sword appeared at the tip of his nose.

The blond elf raised a sharp blade and stood in front of the people: "Stop, Gray Wolf."

"Do you want to protect that monster too? Astraea family!" Bert raised his head and distanced himself from the sword.

"I still don't understand what is right and what is wrong." Liu raised his head, his eyes clear and calm: "But I know that not wanting the fishman to get hurt is everyone's "ideal"! Then this result that satisfies most people is absolutely the right thing to do!"

"Tsk." Bert smacked his lips, put his hands in his pockets, turned around and said coldly: "Then leave it to you to deal with. If anything unexpected happens, I don't care! You'd better die, idiots bewitched by monsters."

Liu put away his sword.

But a resident behind him shouted: "That child is not a monster, he is a fairy!"

"Correct!"

"That is the immortal who brings miracles and salvation to us mortals!"

"Master Xianjing! Master Xianjing! Master Ma Li!"

Bert paused, smacked his lips in dissatisfaction once again, glanced at the Ganesha clan that had gathered around him, and walked away cursing.

"Liang~~, so handsome!" Adi jumped to Liu's side and stuck close to him from behind.

"Adi~! I told you not to hug me from behind!"

Shakti came to the crowd and said, "Let's take care of this... immortal spirit for the time being. Don't worry, Lord Ganesha will take good care of this person."

The residents started arguing again: "No, you adventurers can't be trusted! Who knows if you are trying to murder our Immortal Master just like that werewolf!"

Facing the hostile eyes of the masses, Shakti also had a headache.

She couldn't let Mali stay among this group of people. Besides, she must be the special monster that Lord Ganesha asked to find...

"Adi, can't you just not take the child with you?" Liu asked.

"Alas, there is nothing we can do. We can't let her stay in a place like this now. We should at least find a safe place." Adi spread his hands: "But it seems that everyone no longer believes us."

Shakti was helpless. It was impossible for so many people to stay here just for a monster. They should also return to the shelter. What if the dark faction attacked again?

At this moment, a tall shadow pushed through the crowd and dived into them.

"What are you doing? What are you doing?!" Mia walked over to Yasfi and carried Mary on her shoulders.

"What do you want to do to my daughter?! If you have nothing better to do, wash yourself and go back to bed, you stupid geese!"

"Hey...you?...Why don't you..." One person wanted to speak up to stop them, but this time no one among his companions objected.

"Have you forgotten? That's the proprietress of the tavern. I saw Lady Mary working in her house before. A few days ago, I even ate the porridge that Lady Mary gave me." The dwarf woman reminded.

"I was wondering why the wounds on my body suddenly stopped hurting at that time. It turned out to be the grace of Lady Mary." The orc realized it later.

"Mrs. Mary is truly an angel."

"Since it's the boss lady, then we are relieved. We must not let these adventurers who don't care about our lives hurt Lady Mary."

"Yes, we must always supervise them and protect Lady Mary!"

"Let's set up a support group for Lady Mary!"

"Yes!"

After Mia took the fishman away, the topic of the residents gradually changed.

Shakti covered his face and waved his hand: "You should follow me to the shelter first. Be careful of the secret faction's sneak attack again!"

……

The depressed atmosphere among the residents was dispelled by Mary's actions.

They firmly believed that the miracle of the immortal spirit meant the birth of a hero. Countless histories told them that no matter how great the despair was, as long as there were heroes, they could overcome it safely.

Central Park, temporary command center.

Finn was relieved after receiving the information: "Xiaer Jun, why didn't you tell us earlier that the fishman was your tamed pet?"

Ciel spread his hands and said, "I thought you knew, since Raul and Ais were there at the time. However, I was preparing it as emergency food, so I temporarily placed it in Mia's mother's restaurant."

Raul...Finn frowned. If Raul knew about Mary's existence, why would he be so angry?

He glanced outside the tent, but instead of waiting for news about Raul, he saw Yasfi who had arrived late.

"Okay, everyone is here." Finn adjusted his heartbeat and looked at the dozens of adventurers gathered in the tent:

"Yesterday, a total of six Families, including the Ishtar Familia, were severely damaged, and the gods returned. I need to reconfirm the new information. Ciel, let's start with you first."

Finn turned his head and said, "I deeply regret the departure of Chanis and Soma, but as the deputy leader of the Soma clan, I think you have reason to take on his responsibilities again."

Finn paused and continued, "I heard that the formula and development of "fireworks" are actually your achievements? I hope you can cooperate with Yasfei to produce the new materials we need in the shortest time possible. Is that okay?"

Charles nodded: "No problem."

Finn looked at Yasfi again and said, "And [Almighty], we also received news of the death of your clan leader last night. Now you are the leader of the Hermès clan."

Seeing that her eyes were empty and she had no reaction, he looked at everyone again:

"Secondly, it is the issue of your families."

"The departure of the gods means that you will lose their favor, but in order to ensure the city's combat power, you can only choose your clan again."

The most troublesome one is Charles. As the only remaining cadre of the Soma clan, he will naturally inherit all the wealth owed by the guild to the Soma clan. Whichever clan he joins will determine whose pocket the wealth will fall into.

There is also the core of the valuable technology "gunpowder".

Finn believed that Charles must have hidden something.

Finn took a deep breath and looked at the boy seriously: "Xiaer-kun, have you found the Familiar you like?"

Ciel scratched his head and said, "Captain, what are you talking about? Didn't we join Loki's clan yesterday?"

"Huh?!" Finn was stunned for three seconds.

Ciel spread his hands and said, "Not only me, but everyone here has been blessed by Lord Loki himself, right? You were there at the time, too?"

Finn: “Huh???”

Chapter 183 Loki: What? I am not, I don’t have it!

I was there too?

Finn's breath hitched, and he felt a sharp pain in his thumb, so he couldn't help but lick it.

"Can you tell me what's going on?"

Ciel blinked innocently. "We all fought in the fourth sector yesterday. After the gods were returned, we should have died under the butcher's knife. It was Loki and you who saved us from the dark faction."

"He also granted us a temporary favor, allowing us to continue to maintain the battle line."

Finn's eyes turned into beans: "Is that so?"

"It's absolutely true, everyone saw it." Charles looked at everyone.

Everyone in the room nodded in agreement. "Yes, yes! We also saw Master Finn's unparalleled marksmanship and those scarlet eyes. Is that a special skill?"

Ciel said nervously, "Although we had to make an emergency decision at the time, we also know that it would be too hasty to join the Loki clan just like that, and we don't expect to really join the Loki clan, but at least within the one-year time limit, we can't transfer to another clan."

"No, that's not right." Finn interrupted with his hand: "There is definitely something wrong here."

His mind went blank.

Red eyes? Throwing spears?

No, I have never revealed these in front of anyone. Even Valetta doesn’t know. Why did these people know?

The point is, I didn’t go to the fourth district either!

I was clearly fighting Alfia in the seventh district yesterday!

And... Raul...

Oh no! Could this be some conspiracy?

Finn left his seat, pressed his hand against the eager crowd, rubbed his brow and said, "I'll ask Loki to confirm. I have a headache now."

……

After a while, Loki on the Tower of Babel came to the camp under the protection of Grace.

She sat in her office chair with her fists resting on her cheeks. "What's going on? Finn?"

Finn rubbed his brows and said, "Look for yourself, this is what you did. All the adventurers here said they joined our faction. Or was it you who changed the sect yourself?"

"Huh? That's impossible. We are staying at the Tower of Babel with Miss Ai Si. How could we go out without permission under such circumstances?"

Loki stood up, put his hands in his trouser pockets, and tilted his head to examine everyone.

"You said I personally bestowed the favor. Do you have any evidence? I don't sense the aura of my child from you."

An adventurer took off his shirt, revealing a huge clown pattern on his back: "Isn't this enough proof?"

Loki was stunned and retreated tactically: "Huh?!!!"

Then she bent down, touched her chin, and checked behind the shirtless adventurer: "It is indeed Enhui, but this clown is not mine."

"Ah?" The adventurer was stunned.

"Hmm. Our clown is like this." Loki pulled the flag of Loki's family on the table.

It was a full-length image of a clown with his legs crossed, his arms outstretched, and a sinister smile on his face.

Behind the adventurer is a close-up of a clown's face, or mask, alternating between black and white.

"Ah, this..." These people were speechless and confirmed the clan patterns on their backs with each other. Without exception, none of them looked like Loki's clan.

Ciel asked curiously, "Finn, are there other gods in the city related to clowns? Or can this pattern be changed according to the gods' wishes?"

The adventurer suddenly realized: "Yes, we saw with our own eyes yesterday that you, Lord Loki, activated the grace for us. This can't be wrong!"

Finn looked at Loki helplessly: "What happened? Did other gods intervene? But why? What's the reason?"

Loki frowned: "We don't know either. Did you really see Finn and I transfer your sect yesterday?"

Ciel nodded firmly: "Yes, that's right!"

No lie...

As Loki fell silent, a smile slowly rose in Ciel's heart.

Sure enough..., he guessed correctly, he could no longer be lie-detected by the gods.

Since returning to the sanctuary at the center of the Tower of Babel last night, many gods have conducted lie detector tests on the identities of the visitors to prevent assassins and undercover agents from sneaking in from secret factions.

Ciel was naturally interrogated as well, but he evaded the questions by using rhetoric. There were also many imperfect answers, but they were still not exposed by the gods.

At that time, he realized that the development ability of [God Slayer I] might be more powerful than he imagined.

First of all, in addition to the known "no polygraph detection" and "simulated divine authority", Ciel summarized his experience and roughly guessed some of the effects.

These roughly include two categories: [God's Assassin] and [Usurper of Divine Power].

It corresponds to the basic abilities of [God's Assassin] "Divine Power Invalid", "Divine Might Invalid" and most abilities related to divine power, including lie detection, will be ineffective against Ciel.

Extending out, it is the other side of [usurpation of divine power].

Now, not only can Charles use his own blood as a key to open and edit other people's favors like a normal god, he can even have his own clan!

乮To put it simply, Ciel can cooperate with the [Divine Text] to do things similar to the gods in the underworld.

In addition, under the branch of [Usurping theocracy], there is also a potential development ability of [Mystery I].
