And now-
At this moment, with participants of the Divine Assembly constantly appearing, the most eye-catching are the two major clans of Orario: the Loki Familia and the Freya Familia.
"They are coming..."
Some family members looked towards the entrance and exit of the venue.
With a series of light and cheerful footsteps, the members of the Loki Familia surged into the scene like a tide.
Leading the way was Ais Wallenstein, the female adventurer known as the Sword Maiden. Her expression was currently unreadable, giving her the impression of an ice queen.
Loki, the god of the swordswoman, stood very close to Ais, just centimeters away, trying to hug her.
However, just as she raised her hand to embrace Ais, she was stopped by Finn, the leader of the Loki Familia who was following behind.
"In this situation, I believe Lord Loki knows how to behave appropriately."
"Oh? What does it matter? A big hug is the best proof that we're united!"
"I believe that the clan is united enough without needing to hug."
Finn smiled wryly and called a halt to his own god.
Ais, standing ahead, calmly said
“We’ve always been united, and besides, Loki holding me makes me very uncomfortable.”
"Wait, wait, Ais-chan, this can't be! I practiced with a pillow for ages for the perfect hug!"
"Please don't do things that waste your time..."
"It's not a waste at all."
Loki, with his eyes half-closed, was as nonchalant as ever, always looking carefree and relaxed.
Seeing this interaction, Rivera sighed.
"Lord Loki, I hope you can behave yourself during this divine gathering."
"Why is even Riveria saying these things? Isn't the Divine Assembly just a gathering? Everyone can have some fun."
After being rejected by Ais, Loki immediately embraced the elf girl named Lefia next to him.
"babble!"
"Am I really that annoying, Lefia-chan?"
"No, no, it was just very sudden..."
Before Lefia could finish speaking, the Amazon sisters Tiona and Tionesilt from Loki's Familia, drawn by the aroma of the food in the hall, quickened their pace and ran straight to the dining table, intending to try it.
"You guys should be more reserved..."
Riveria spoke again, but she knew very well that it was unlikely that she could get these people to behave now.
Almost simultaneously, the Freya Familia, who were responsible for providing the venue for this divine gathering, came down from the upper level.
Compared to the Loki Familia, the members of the Freya Familia were more taciturn, but the aura they exuded was equally impossible to ignore.
At this moment, walking at the very front is Freya herself, the goddess of beauty.
She possesses unparalleled beauty, which is not only reflected in her appearance but also in her captivating charm.
Following closely behind is Ota, one of Orario's strongest symbols and the only adventurer in Freya's Familia to reach LV7.
In addition, there are several LV6 level officers such as Allen Fromo and Hedin Selland, each leading a group of powerful adventurers.
These people were selected and killed time and time again before they were qualified to appear with her.
Freya stopped and looked down at the scene.
"Hasn't he arrived yet...?"
Freya tried to find Baili, but to no avail.
However, this situation was soon broken.
Footsteps sounded again from another entrance.
Freya looked over and noticed the figure she had been searching for—Baili.
Baili, along with the girls in their new dresses, Hestia, Hephaestus, and others, arrived at the venue of the Divine Assembly.
His appearance also attracted the attention of everyone present.
The leader of the squad that clears the upper area the fastest;
The newly appointed guild master of the Adventurers' Guild;
He also had the feat of killing Apollo and banishing the entire Apollo Familia from Orario.
All these earth-shattering events in Orario were concentrated on one person.
The main deity and his retinue all turned their gazes to the scene.
Some were curious;
Some concerns;
Some doubts;
Some people just find it interesting.
"There are so many people..."
Yotsuya Miko swallowed hard.
"If you think of them as pumpkins, you won't be nervous."
The kitten from Tacheng offered its opinions from the side.
Akeno, now dressed in a black gown, looked toward the Freya Familia not far away.
"This world also has powerful goddesses."
"Huh? You called me?"
Hestia turned around, and then Hephaestus playfully smacked her on the head.
Yukino, who was standing next to him, then asked Hyakuri...
"Lord Baili, what are we here for...?"
"In order to quickly resolve the problem and to give you experience."
After Baili finished speaking, the Loki clan left.
Baili, who met Loki's gaze, did not stop, but went straight to Freya's Familia.
Then——
Baili asked bluntly.
"Although it's sudden... I'd like to ask, does anyone want to play a war game?"
Baili's voice wasn't loud, but it carried throughout the scene, silencing everyone.
"Both sides are risking everything in their fight; if they win, they will gain everything from the Adventurers' Guild, and if they lose... they will lose everything."
and so……
"Which of your clans has such courage?"
Chapter 105 Loki: I will win! So... Loki decides to challenge!
Whether it was Rias and her group before, or Yukino and her group now, they were able to easily clear the upper and part of the middle areas of the dungeon.
Exploring the lower levels is necessary, but it's not Baili's current plan.
As the saying goes, there is endless joy in fighting with others, so Baili wanted to train the girls' combat abilities when facing powerful adventurers.
Even if he could deal with everyone in front of him, he didn't plan to make a move.
After all, Baili is not a nanny for the girls.
If you want to become stronger, you must overcome challenges one by one.
Are the monsters in the dungeon a threat?
There must be a lower area.
Furthermore, there is the concept of heretics, which are a group of intelligent monsters who know how to cooperate and are not much different from humans except for their appearance.
But Baili knew very well that the girls around him might not be able to bring themselves to kill such a monster.
Of course, if the other party poses a significant threat, they will certainly not show any mercy.
Back to the present moment —
Bai Li's reason for issuing the challenge was, as he had said before, to train the girls' combat abilities and accumulate experience.
Upon hearing his words, the first to react were not the passersby or other gods, but Hestia and Hephaestus, who were traveling with him.
Especially Hestia.
Her eyes widened in disbelief.
She had just warned Baili that even if he was very strong, he should act cautiously, otherwise he would be in trouble if he were targeted by Orario's Familia at the same time.
When they arrived at the scene, Baili did the exact opposite of what she had warned them to do!
"Hey! Mr. Baili! Mr. Baili! What are you saying!"
Hephaestus, standing to the side, was also somewhat puzzled.
Hephaestus, who had been spending all her time in the workshop researching materials and forging weapons, had no idea what Baili had gone through, but she knew that the person in front of her was not joking.
"Is this an invitation for the clansmen present to play a war game?"
Orario's War Game is a duel witnessed by the gods.
The victor can take everything from the loser.
"The atmosphere has completely changed..."
Yotsuya Miko looked around and noticed that many of the participants' expressions had changed.
Some are serious;
