Knossos

Orario was destined to be sleepless tonight.

Spurred by that excessively dazzling Return Pillar, the entire city fell into brief chaos.

Countless citizens poured out of their homes, lingering in the streets as they spoke with one another and asked around, wanting to know what exactly had happened to cause a god to be suddenly returned.

Countless gods and countless Familias also rushed one after another toward Daedalus Street, where the "scene of the incident" was located, causing scouts and spies from every major faction to gradually gather there.

In the end, even the Guild was alerted and dispatched many employees to investigate Daedalus Street. The Ganesha Familia, the city's guards, nearly mobilized in full and hurried there as well. After a night of hard work, they sealed off Daedalus Street and no longer allowed anyone to set foot in that labyrinthine district.

All kinds of rumors and even outright gossip began spreading through the city, leaving people uneasy.

"A god being returned... How long has it been since something like that happened?"

"The last time was five years ago, wasn't it?"

"The gods who were returned back then were the Chief Gods of Evilus, the ones who caused Orario's ten-year Dark Period. Those self-proclaimed evil gods were driven into corners one by one by the Chief Gods of the Familias that joined forces to destroy Evilus, and they were all sent back to Heaven in the end."

"Right, I still remember what it was like then. Return Pillars appeared one after another that day. It was quite the spectacle."

"Five years later, a god has actually been returned from Orario again..."

"I wonder who it was..."

As people discussed the matter, its popularity instantly soared to its peak. Even the discussion surrounding the Loki Familia's great achievement was suppressed,
