Chapter 271 Freya personally takes action
Orario, Flame Bee Pavilion.
More than two hundred people, including a dozen high-ranking adventurers and deities from various clans, filled the restaurant to the brim, enjoying fine wine under the lights in a lively atmosphere.
Upon learning that there was free alcohol, Loki rushed forward even faster than the advanced adventurers, downing the chilled wheat beer in one gulp and letting out a scream with a look of exhilaration.
Upon closer inspection, it was clear that she had drunk the most, with a large pile of empty wine glasses at her feet.
Astrea and Riveria, the two who play the role of "mother" in their respective clans, have a lot in common. They sit at a table near the window, chatting and elegantly sipping fruit wine, a relaxed smile playing on their delicate lips.
The beautiful goddess of justice and the elven royalty drinking together created a stunning scene.
But the main characters of this banquet are undoubtedly the Astrea Familia, who won the War Game.
"What a fantastic war game!"
"Roy, I'm so touched!"
"I am Ganesha!"
The gods surrounded Roy and his companions, praising them repeatedly. Their excitement was beyond words. The new king had stepped over the corpses of the old king to reach the pinnacle, which was exactly the story they had wanted to see in the mortal realm.
Every deity generously bestowed praise.
In the thousands of years of history in the lower realm, the Astrea Familia is unprecedented in receiving praise from so many gods at the same time. This is not only due to their magnificent achievements, but also to their strong belief in justice.
Tiony, Tiona, Daphne, Cassandra, and Lily all performed well, showcasing their individual talents in this war.
Tione and Tiona, working together with Ryu, broke through the seemingly impenetrable defense of the Heavenly Bull, successfully breaking one of its legs. This laid the foundation for Roy to kill the opponent later; otherwise, given the Heavenly Bull's charging speed, it might have been able to escape the encirclement.
Despite being hit by the tainted fairy's magic, Daphne, a tanky character, took less damage than Tiona at level 5. This gives you an idea of just how incredible her durability is after activating skills and magic.
She is a class of her own in Orario, and when fighting the floor boss, she can stand at the very front with her shield and withstand all of the floor boss's attacks.
Cassandra's healing magic always catches up in time and falls on others. Moreover, as the healer in the team, she also has a certain combat ability and does not need the protection of others. Just this point alone makes her far superior to other healers in Orario.
The gods took a liking to this timid and shy girl, and while crying, they waved their staffs and defeated a large number of level 2 and level 3 adventurers.
The thought of that scene is enough to make anyone laugh.
Lily has the lowest rank in the team, but her outstanding performance is in no way inferior to others. Relying on her extremely high agility, she moves among the crowd like a ghostly assassin, assassinating members of the Ishtar Familia.
She also eliminated the nominal commander of the Ishtar Familia, securing victory in the war game.
The team has a clear division of labor and operates in a rigorous and orderly manner.
But the most noteworthy were Ryu and Roy. Ryu reached LV.6, becoming one of Orario's top-tier adventurers, and his several uses of the magic "Light Wind" almost secured victory in the war.
Roy went into overdrive and violently killed the LV.7 Celestial Bull (Filthy Fairy)!
The gods trembled with excitement whenever they spoke of it.
Faced with the enthusiastic gods, the girls of the Astrea Familia fled in panic, only breathing a sigh of relief after escaping their encirclement.
They simply couldn't stand those gods.
When the girls turned around, they saw Roy surrounded by gods and stars.
Surrounded by a large number of deities, whose divine power accumulates bit by bit, ordinary mortals would probably be trembling with fear and unable to breathe under their pressure.
Roy's tall and upright figure was like a pine tree rooted in the eye of a storm, exuding an air of grandeur. There was not a trace of unease or tension on his young and handsome face, only the calmness and composure that came from being tempered by blood and fire, and a relaxed and confident smile, which made countless shy and budding girls turn their heads and blush.
They chatted and laughed among the gods.
Roy spoke clearly and logically, and every movement was natural and effortless.
This unparalleled grace and composure, even amidst the presence of gods, and the confidence and ease ingrained in his very being, couldn't help but evoke a deep sense of amazement and admiration in the eyes of the gods who were accustomed to seeing heroes and great men.
Tiony, Daphne, and the others were filled with admiration and respect. Only their leader could handle those persistent gods with ease.
The adventurers and civilians outside the Flame Bee Pavilion looked on with envy at the grand victory celebration inside the tavern.
It's no exaggeration to say that if anyone could wipe out everyone in this restaurant right now, Orario would lose more than half of its high-level combat power.
Unbeknownst to many, the Astrea Familia has grown into a powerful force, far surpassing ordinary Familias in strength, economy, and connections!
After a few rounds of drinks...
A handsome man named Modi approached Roy and said, "Little Roy, I have a favor to ask."
"Please speak!"
Roy wore a warm smile. Since it was an unreasonable request, he decided not to say it. He wanted to throw those words in the face of the gods, but a glance around revealed that the expressions of the other gods were not much different.
The trouble is coming from revealing our strength!
The Astrea Familia's leveling speed is unusually fast, and the goddess Astrea has pushed it onto his special skill. Now Roy has to clean up the mess.
Roy was well-prepared for this.
It's better to guide than to block!
Rather than blocking the path, it's better to leave an opening, giving people hope of success.
Seeing that Roy was willing to answer, the god-like Modi was overjoyed, "Little Roy, how do the Astrea Familia usually train? Their leveling up is too fast!"
As this sensitive topic came up, the tavern gradually quieted down, and everyone stared at Roy.
Loki, engrossed in his drinking, couldn't help but prick up his ears.
The others were even more curious, afraid of missing a single word. The Astrea Familia's leveling speed was terrifying, like riding a rocket!
Daphne and Cassandra were at LV.1 during the Apollo Familia's war game, but after a little over a year, they jumped directly to LV.4!
Tione and Tiona arrived in Orario a few months ago. Their entry record showed LV.3, which everyone witnessed. In less than half a year, they leveled up to LV.5!
The most outrageous one is Roy, who has already become a Level 5 adventurer in just over a year!
Astraea is the embodiment of "justice," and it is impossible for her to use divine power or unorthodox methods to enhance the strength of her followers.
This is what makes it truly alluring!
The gods attempted to uncover Roy's secrets from the girls of the Astrea Familia.
But when faced with the gods' various tricks of witty remarks, Ryu, Daphne, Lily, and the others remained silent, like taciturn gourds, leaving people feeling deeply helpless.
The volatile Tione even punched the gods, scaring them into fleeing in terror.
Roy smiled and said, "My esteemed gods, I know you are all very curious about the extraordinary growth rate of the Astrea Familia members—"
"Mmm!" The gods' eyes lit up.
"The abnormally fast upgrade speed is indeed partly due to me, but it's mostly due to their hard work and belief!" Roy said slowly.
Tiony, Tiona, and the others stood tall and proud!
Roy wasn't lying when he said that.
Dungeons can quickly boost stats, but they're not free. Ryu, Tione, Tiona, Lily, and others fought tooth and nail in those dungeon worlds, and their hard work and sweat can't be ignored.
If other adventurers had such strong execution ability, they would at least reach half the level, if not the same growth rate!
But faced with an unknown and uncertain future, the adventurers were overwhelmed by confusion and uncertainty. Simply put, their faith wasn't strong enough. Under the Grace system, you only need to strengthen your faith, and leave the rest to Grace.
It's not impossible to awaken to "aspiration".
"A firm belief will eventually transform into the driving force for growth," Roy continued, his gaze lightly sweeping over the goddess Astraea.
In just a moment, the gods keenly caught Roy's gaze and, almost subconsciously, launched a collective brainstorming session.
Since it involved clan secrets, Roy couldn't say it outright, and the gods understood that they were actually quite satisfied with obtaining this information.
Because they sensed that Roy wasn't lying!
The gods pondered, as if they had understood something.
Roy's skills are related to beliefs, specifically righteous beliefs, which will affect his growth rate!
This aligns with what Astrea said: once their families join Astrea's Familia, they cultivate a so-called "belief in justice."
Can those people return to their original families and earn money for the extravagant gods?
The tavern was deathly silent as the gods fell into deep thought. Seeing this, Roy knew that his guidance and suggestion had been successful.
There wasn't a single lie in his words; he simply avoided the most important part of the information.
A perceptive god like Loki might sense something amiss, but so what? Must he reveal all the secrets of his clan?
Roy wants to build good relations with the gods, but he's not afraid of them. So who holds the upper hand now?
The Astrea Familia is ranked third!
If the gods insisted on sending people into Astraea's Familia, Roy would have an excuse to deal with it.
His "skill" requires a righteous belief to work, which is actually somewhat similar to the talisman water used in religious healing in a previous life. If you drink it and get better, it's God's intervention; if you don't get better, it's because you weren't devout enough!
The fact that you are being invited to join the Astrea Familia indicates that your beliefs meet the standards of justice.
The fact that you're not allowed to join the Astrea Familia means your beliefs aren't righteous enough!
As for the final interpretation of "justice," it lies in the hands of the goddess Astrea, who is in charge of "justice," and him, the leader of the Astrea Spring Clan!
The gods looked even more conflicted.
On one hand, they genuinely wanted Roy to help others level up their skills quickly; on the other hand, they were afraid of throwing good money after bad—it would be a waste of time and resources!
Finn, Riveria, Asfi, and other high-level adventurers have basically given up on the idea of using Roy to improve their strength; they each have their own beliefs.
Finn is a "hero" of his race, fighting for the Lilliputians, while Riveria seeks to explore the unknown world—
Fighting for justice is really not suitable for them.
Among seasoned adventurers, there is a basic consensus: newbies rely on level and combat skills, while true masters rely on conviction!
Some members of the Ganesha clan were interested.
As urban military police, they maintain order, handle various troublesome incidents, and protect the public year-round; they are more or less related to "justice."
Time passed, the night deepened, and the celebration banquet continued until late into the night before everyone gradually dispersed.
The banquet expenses were temporarily recorded in the account, and the owner of Yanfengting had no objections.
Given the current status and strength of the Astrea Familia, it is impossible for them to renege on their debt.
After being plied with cup after cup by the gods, Roy, reeking of alcohol, was helped back to the Star Garden by the girls of his clan. He lay down on the bed and fell asleep immediately.
The lights in the Garden of Stars gradually went out.
After the war game, they had a banquet with the gods and adventurers. Everyone was exhausted. Even if the sky were to fall, they would wait until the gods and adventurers woke up before talking about anything else.
Roy on the bed twitched his ears slightly, sensing that everyone in the mansion was breathing evenly. He slowly opened his eyes, showing no signs of drunkenness.
That little bit of alcohol couldn't have made him lose consciousness.
It was all for show. Many people have seen his behavior along the way, and they will all have the impression that "Sprout of Justice" got drunk tonight!
Roy donned a grey cloak and left the Star Garden silently.
Only Ryu, who was of a higher rank, noticed that Roy had secretly run away; she knew someone was going to be in trouble.
The Ishtarchun tribe has been wiped out, but the hunt and the dark faction behind the man-made labyrinth remain.
Given Roy's personality, he would never let the other party go!
Tonight is actually the perfect opportunity!
The war game had just ended, and the entire city was in a frenzy of celebration. The Astrea Familia was also holding a victory banquet, inviting the gods and high-ranking adventurers.
The dark faction would never have imagined that Roy would take revenge so quickly, wiping them out overnight!
The night was deep, the bright moon hung in the sky, and the moonlit canopy pressed down on the silent Orario.
Wearing a cloak and hood, Roy moved like a ghostly shadow blending into the darkness, traversing narrow, damp, and decaying alleyways.
His steps were faster than usual, and his body swept past as if weightless, without making a sound.
finally-
The view ahead suddenly opened up, and Roy arrived at the Tower of Babel Square. The towering silhouette of the colossal tower cast a deep and oppressive shadow under the brilliant lights.
Roy kept his head down, his wide hood hanging low, hiding his face in the unfathomable darkness.
The Ganesha Familia's military police pretended not to see anything and let Roy enter the dungeon.
Are you kidding me!
The person's footsteps were so light, and their aura so concealed, that they were at least a Level 3 adventurer. Moreover, the person was wearing a cloak, clearly not wanting to reveal their identity. Naturally, the Ganesha Familia members wouldn't go up and cause trouble.
If they didn't have this keen insight, as urban military police, they would have offended all the forces in Orario long ago, and they wouldn't be alive today at all.
Roy enters the dungeon and uses the Earth Power he gained after defeating the floor master, Udeos.
The detailed information about the upper and middle levels of the dungeon, all twenty-four floors in total, flashed through his mind: the terrain, the monsters, the adventurers—
A hint of surprise flashed in Roy's eyes; the power was stronger than he had anticipated.
It's like using an auto-clicker when playing a game.
Roy's mind raced, and with a loud "bang," the wall shattered, and a ferocious monster leaped out, its eyes bloodshot and gleaming with cruel light.
However-
The monster didn't attack Roy, but instead moved around aimlessly, as if it couldn't see Roy beside it; it was as if it had become invisible.
Roy's lips curled up. Interesting!
Since the dungeon can unleash such power, it might allow him to control the lower and deeper levels, eventually turning the entire dungeon into his backyard.
I'm getting a little excited just thinking about it!
However, now that he needed to deal with those scum from the dark faction, Roy's eyes turned cold.
Using his dungeon powers, Roy devised the shortest route to avoid the adventurers.
Many adventurers, inspired by the war game, were filled with passion and motivation, while others lost a large sum of money. With different purposes, they all entered the dungeon.
Roy perfectly avoided everyone, and sometimes even controlled the terrain to open up new passages, leaping down and passing through several floors in an instant.
LV.5's body is as hard as iron; it can fall from a height of hundreds of meters and be completely unharmed.
In less than ten minutes, Roy arrived at a certain location on the eighteenth floor.
This efficiency put even the high-ranking adventurers of the Freya Familia and Loki Familia to shame. In the past, no matter how smoothly their expeditions went, this step still required a considerable amount of time and resources.
And Roy is incredibly fast!
Under the authority of the underground city, nothing can hide, including the part where the man-made maze connects to the underground city, which is disguised as a rock wall.
When Roy took the Eye of Daedalus out of his spatial ring, the cursed item emitted a faint crimson glow, especially the "D" in the center of the eyeball, which was even more dazzling, yet it also had a sinister aura.
The rock walls dissipated, revealing the entrance to a man-made labyrinth, crafted from a mixture of orogenic copper and many other precious materials, as translucent as steel and exceptionally sturdy.
Roy reached out and touched the wall, clicking his tongue in disbelief. It was too extravagant. As a blacksmith skilled in forging, if these materials fell into his hands, he could create countless Level 1 weapons.
The Daedalus family's accumulation over thousands of years!
The man-made labyrinth, from the first to the eighteenth floor, is more valuable than the assets of the Ishtar Familia!
Rumble!
A wisp of crimson blood shot from the Eye of Daedalus into the top eyeball of the Orichalcos Gate, and the two echoed each other, producing a series of booming sounds.
This man-made maze opened its doors to Roy.
Roy grinned maliciously. Once he obtained the Eye of Daedalus, this crucial key, the difficulty of conquering the man-made maze would drop several notches.
Roy swaggered into the maze and headed deeper inside. Thanks to his previous experience controlling the puppet Ota to wreak havoc, he had a good understanding of the terrain and wouldn't get lost.
"With the Ishtar Familia gone, life will be tough from now on," a guard said.
"Yes, what should we do?" the other person replied.
It seems like they've had a run of bad luck these past two years. The Ikeros Familia suffered heavy casualties, Ota stormed in and slaughtered them, their smuggling business in Melen Port collapsed, and even their biggest client, Ishtar, was killed.
As typical speculators, many have realized that the Dark Faction's ship is in trouble and is showing signs of sinking.
They also need to consider their next job and a way out.
"Who goes there?!"
Sensing the unusual atmosphere, the two turned their heads simultaneously, staring coldly into the depths of the passage, and shouted sternly; after all, they were LV.2.
You could say the people of the Dark Faction are bad, but you can't think they're weak. Ordinary adventurers are already living on the edge, but they are even worse, only their methods are more cruel, ruthless, and without any bottom line.
Roy, wearing a hood, came out.
The two men, their eyes wary, drew their weapons, the blades gleaming with a cold light, and aimed them at Roy.
With Roy's strength, dealing with these two LV.2 guards would be a piece of cake, but instead of taking action directly, he clicked "Use False God Card".
[False God Card used; the disguised deity identified as Freya, the Goddess of Beauty; remaining disguise time: 59 minutes and 58 seconds.]
Seconds — 59 minutes and 50 seconds —
A faint purple glow appeared on Roy's body, and a faint divine power emanated from him.
When he lifted his hood, what appeared before the two men was Freya's exquisitely beautiful face, every smile and frown captivating.
"Freya?"
The two guards' pupils contracted sharply, their faces filled with shock. How could they not recognize that face? But it was precisely because they recognized it that they were so terrified.
Oh no! The two immediately realized what was happening and tried to turn and run away, but it was too late!
Allure!
Roy's eyes gleamed with an eerie purple light. With a single glance, the LV.2 guard stopped fleeing, his eyes glazed over.
Freya's allure surpasses that of Ishtar; she doesn't even need to make eye contact.
The False God Card allows one to impersonate a god, unleash divine power, and gain the power of the other party. When Roy obtained this item, the natural way he thought of using it was Freya; impersonating any other god would be completely meaningless.
Only Freya's ultimate beauty and allure possess a terrifying power that can subdue heaven, earth, and even the air!
Roy was also extremely wary of this.
Aside from a chance encounter with Freya under the alias Seele on the street, he dared not meet her in person, fearing that a single seduction from her would force him to reveal his true identity and all his secrets, leaving him completely exposed.
Now, Freya, whom he fears most, has become his most terrifying trump card!
He intended to use it on the war game of the Ishtar Familia, but Freya herself did it for him, so the good fortune could only fall to the Dark Faction.
Roy said calmly, "Take me to the control center of the man-made maze!"
"yes!"
The two had become puppets of the goddess of beauty, obeying Roy's every word and walking forward.
Roy followed behind, and along the way, he dealt with the members of the dark faction he encountered with just a glance.
Meanwhile, in the control center of the artificial labyrinth, Baka, Valetta, and Sanatos manipulated the crystals through the labyrinth and saw Roy disguised as Freya heading straight towards them.
The three of them gaped in disbelief.
The goddess Freya herself has been dispatched!
Baka and Valeta were unaware of the gravity of the situation, but Thanatos, as a god, clearly understood just how terrifying Freya's power was.
In the heavens, Odin, the great god, built a unique temple for Freya to restrict her, ostensibly as a gift, but in reality as a form of imprisonment.
Using Freya's favorite subordinate gods and fairies, he created emotional chains to bind her. The great god Odin dared not relax his vigilance, and once he sensed something amiss, he would throw his divine spear to kill Freya.
"Brother Baka, Sister Valeta, let's go, let's go, hurry!" Sanatos cried out urgently, his tone revealing a deep sense of fear and helplessness.
Freya's anger requires the combined might of three virgin goddesses (Hestia, Athena, and Artemis) to counteract her power. No one in the mortal realm can stop her. The moment she personally intervenes, their man-made labyrinth, built over many years, will be destroyed!
