Hestia Decides to Go Big

Ais watched Li Yu leave, took a deep breath, and then made up her mind that no matter what, she would become Li Yu's apprentice.

"Ais!! Are you alright!!" Bete finally ran over, and seeing Ais covered in injuries, he was instantly enraged. Just as he was about to say something, Tione interrupted him.

"Go away, stop causing trouble, Ais is fine!" She knew very well that this guy was about to have another outburst, so she was worried he might cause trouble again. If he did something else, she suspected that Li Yu might kill them all.

"I'm fine, just minor injuries." Ais shook her head, feeling the pain in her body. She knew very well that Li Yu had held back; the attacks dissipated after hitting her.

In addition, Ais defended herself in time, so she was not seriously injured. Ais thought this and asked Lefiya to let her go. Then she headed towards her camp.

Seeing this, Lefiya and the Amazon sisters hurriedly followed, leaving Bete alone, bewildered in the wind. He scratched his face, glanced at Li Yu, and finally could only suppress his frustration and hurry to catch up.

When Li Yu returned to the camp, Asuna breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I thought you were going to kill that guy!"

What she just witnessed really startled her. She was prepared to kill the rest of them to cover up the news, but thankfully nothing went wrong!

"Why would I kill her when we have no grudge against each other?" Li Yu was also somewhat puzzled by Asuna's words. Did she really think he was such a bloodthirsty person?

"Mainly, that move was terrifying." Asuna explained somewhat helplessly. Wasn't it Li Yu's move? Who wouldn't be confused by those densely packed wind blades?

"It's just for show, I've held back. But the True Magic in this world is truly amazing. They only need to chant to manipulate the elements and achieve all sorts of effects," Li Yu casually explained before sharing his discovery with everyone.

Hearing Li Yu say this, everyone became interested and gathered together to hear what Li Yu had to say.

After everyone returned to the camp, they gathered around Li Yu, Li Yu then began to tell them about the True Magic he had learned, explaining the status effects that could be obtained after chanting.

"You mean, as long as you chant a spell, you can control the elements for a period of time and then fight?" Asuna looked at Li Yu with some surprise.

If it were truly possible to control elemental True Magic in combat for a certain period of time, then it could indeed accomplish a lot, but wouldn't there be some cost involved?

"That's right, the main thing is chanting, and it consumes a lot of Divine Power." Li Yu nodded; that made sense. Furthermore, Li Yu discovered that Ais's magic could actually be considered a kind of True Qi?

Just like the energy she had fused with herself, she controlled it entirely with her Divine Power. Based on what she had learned, True Magic in this world was a power that caused supernatural phenomena.

Casting True Magic requires chanting and Divine Power to mobilize magical power. Moreover, people in this world place great importance on the consumption of Divine Power, because the stronger the Divine Power, the stronger the power that can be exerted.

The power that Ais draws upon is a combination of her own energy and magic, somewhat like the fusion of Li Yu's two abilities, except that she needs to use Divine Power to draw upon it, while Li Yu does not.

Divine Power... Everyone naturally knows about this, after all, when they first explored the Dungeon, their teacher gave them potions that raised everyone's Divine Power to a new level.

After listening to Li Yu's explanation, Asuna couldn't help but say, "I just asked that elf girl, and she told me a lot of things. She said that True Magic can be obtained by upgrading the panel, but now you're saying it consumes Divine Power..."

Asuna now had a bold guess: could it be that the stronger one's Divine Power, the higher the probability of awakening True Magic? Thinking of this, Asuna's eyes lit up.

Li Yu understood Asuna's meaning and couldn't help but say, "You mean everyone might awaken True Magic by then, right? That's possible, but... it's also possible they won't, after all, we're not from this world."

They are visitors from another world, and their attribute panels are different, so not everyone will necessarily be able to obtain True Magic. Don't have too high hopes for this; the higher the hopes, the greater the disappointment.

Hearing Li Yu say this, Asuna also realized, "That's right, they are not from this world, so they may not be the same as everyone else, and their stats are different."

With this in mind, everyone quickly put aside their thoughts and stopped dwelling on the issue. If they gained it, they were fortunate; if they lost it, it was fate. Even if they didn't awaken, they could still learn in their own way.

And this is actually their advantage; their True Magic can be acquired through learning, but the people of this world may not be able to.

"Alright, everyone get ready to rest. There seems to be a water source nearby. Those who need to wash their faces can go wash them, then get some rest and continue exploring tomorrow." Li Yu said this to his classmates before starting to walk towards the water source.

After washing his face, he started to rest. Seeing this, the others followed suit. They checked the time and realized it was already past eight o'clock in the evening.

Although this floor was still lit, it was already dark outside. After washing their faces, everyone returned to their tents in the camp to rest.

However, some girls decided to take a shower first, and they took turns showering, while the rest of the girls stood guard to keep watch and prevent others from peeping.

In response, Li Yu said that they couldn't stop him, and he could watch whenever he wanted. Of course, Li Yu wouldn't do something so tasteless.

He couldn't be bothered with these guys; boys didn't need to be so meticulous when they were out. After quickly washing his face, Li Yu went back to meditate.

Just as Li Yu and his group were preparing to rest, a grand banquet was being held in Orario's largest banquet hall.

The Gods gathered together to host a banquet for Hestia. Although Loki and Hestia didn't get along, they didn't cause any trouble at this time.

Not to mention that she was the one who started this banquet, and she was actually quite happy about the arrival of this short, stout guy. Although he was her mortal enemy, he was also a good friend.

Hestia enjoyed a delicious meal, and then, at the invitation of the Gods, she began to explain the other world to them, since she was the only one among all the gods who had ever been there.

The only remaining possibility is that people from another world have come over. If they want to get through, they would have to use Divine Power directly, but this is within the territory of the Dungeon. Using Divine Power? The Dungeon would probably go berserk on the spot.

So they can only drool over the other world until the passage is fully opened in the future, at which point they will be able to go there.

Hestia got caught up in this and even went to another world, which made the Gods incredibly envious, as life in the heavens was just too boring for Gods.

That's why they came down here looking for fun, and now that even bigger fun has appeared, how could they not be excited? They're really looking forward to it.

Hestia recounted her experiences in the other world to everyone, including things like cell phones, the internet, and all sorts of games, which made the Gods' eyes light up.

This made the Gods even more eager to go there. Loki looked at Hestia with shining eyes and said, "You little devil, you have a way, right? You must have a way to get there, right?"

Hearing Loki's words, Hestia snorted coldly, then said with a touch of arrogance, "No, but my Spring Clan can return at any time. And I advise you to behave yourselves. Even if you go to that world, you can't be lawless. That world has its own rules!"

At this point, Hestia had a sudden thought and decided to intimidate these guys a little, though it wasn't really intimidation since what she said was true.

Everyone looked at Hestia with surprise upon hearing her words, raising their glasses, eager to hear what Hestia had to say.

The fact that Hestia is so wary is quite telling. Don't be fooled by Hestia's demeanor; everyone's Divine Power is sealed, which is why they're speaking so politely. If their Divine Power weren't sealed...

Many people present might not be able to defeat Hestia. After all, this guy is one of the main gods. Although he's a bit of a shut-in, his strength is undeniable.

"That world has God Slayer, and not just one or two, but incredibly powerful ones. Judging from their aura, they seem to have killed more than just one or two." Hestia's eyes flashed with apprehension as she mentioned this.

She wasn't acting; she was genuinely afraid. Everything about Li Yu's world was wonderful, except for one thing: it was extremely unfriendly to gods like them.

Seeing Hestia's reaction and hearing her words, many God ' expressions changed. God Slayer? Was this a joke?

The Gods stared at Hestia's face. As gods who had lived for hundreds of millions of years, they could naturally tell whether she was acting or not, and judging from her expression, it seemed to be genuine.

If that's the case, then that world isn't exactly a fun place. God Slayer... that's a joke! What kind of world is that anyway?

If they went there and were spotted, and a fight broke out, they would be killed and wouldn't even be able to return to the Heavenly Realm. Thinking of this, the Gods' enthusiasm waned considerably.

"Of course, if we really connect to that world, as long as we follow their rules, they are quite reasonable." Seeing that the effect was about right, Hestia said these words.

She did this for two reasons. First, to make these guys have more respect for Li Yu's world, so they wouldn't go there and cause trouble and get killed.

Furthermore, it's to make them understand that people from other worlds are not to be trifled with, and that her entire Familia is from another world. If anyone else tries to do anything, they'd better be careful.

Since the goal was essentially the same, and it seems it has been achieved, there shouldn't be any fools planning to do anything to Li Yu and the others, right?

She glanced at a certain person almost imperceptibly. Right now, in Orario, that woman was the one she was most worried about, after all, that person was no good.

Perhaps noticing Hestia's gaze, she raised her wine glass in a gesture of acknowledgment, seemingly without any particular significance.

Hestia merely pursed her lips in response and said nothing. The banquet continued, and everyone gained a basic understanding of the situation in the other world.

After the banquet ended, Hestia left the banquet hall with the Gods, where many people were already waiting outside.

These were all members of the God ' Familia, there to fetch their gods. They were of various ranks. As they walked outside, Hephaestus couldn't help but ask, "Hestia, should I have someone escort you back?"

Upon hearing this, Hestia immediately declined her friend's suggestion, saying, "No need, I have someone coming to pick me up!"

Hearing this, Hephaestus couldn't help but ask in confusion, "Didn't your Familia go down to the Dungeon? Are there any who stayed behind?"

She was perfectly aware, or rather, Gods present knew, that the members of the Hestia Familia had entered the Dungeon today, since those people from the other world were simply too conspicuous.

Furthermore, with no large-scale Familia venturing into the Dungeon recently, Li Yu and his group naturally became the focus of much attention.

Hestia nodded without saying anything. Anyway, someone was coming to pick her up, so she didn't need her friend to take her home. Besides, this was part of their plan!

Just as Hestia was thinking this, a purple Magic Array lit up not far from her, and the next moment Nangong Natsuki and Yor, dressed in purple gothic attire, appeared there.

Upon seeing the two appear in this way, the Gods ' attention was instantly drawn to them; they recognized it as Space Magic.

The two made no attempt to conceal their presence, and the members of their Familia who had come to greet their god all looked at them with solemn expressions.

Danger, danger, danger! Extremely dangerous! Even the burly man standing next to Freya couldn't help but step forward and stare intently at the two women who had appeared.

His muscles were tense, ready to fight at any moment; that seemingly gentle woman gave him a dangerous feeling!

He is the leader of the Freya Familia and is currently recognized as the strongest fighter in Orario, but now he is staring at Yor and Nangong Natsuki as if facing a formidable enemy.

Yor noticed them immediately, but she only glanced up before losing interest; she didn't care about them at all.

"Natsuki-chan, Yor -chan, you're here! Let's go back!" Hestia didn't think much of it; with the two of them appearing, their plan was considered complete.

These two will surely have their names spread throughout Orario tonight. This is the result of their discussion; since they're both in the Familia, they should naturally make an appearance, right?

This also serves to intimidate those monsters and demons in Orario, which is why this scene unfolded tonight.

Hearing Hestia's words, Yor nodded, stepped forward, patted Hestia's head, and then said softly, "Looks like she's not drunk."

Hestia rolled her eyes. Was he treating her like a child? She was hundreds of millions of years old, but Yor was treating her like one, which made her extremely annoyed.

"Let's go!" Nangong Natsuki didn't say anything. She just quietly glanced at the people present. The next moment, a purple Magic Array lit up, enveloped Hestia Yor, and then disappeared from the spot.

As they disappeared, sounds returned from the surrounding area. Many people gasped in surprise; those two were incredibly strong. Those who came here to pick up people were certainly not weak either.

In particular, everyone noticed the reaction of the Iv7 Ottar, which shows that the other side was also on guard. This means those two might also be Iv7, or even higher?

Now, the Gods of Orario had a clear understanding of the Hestia Familia's strength. Were the people from another world really that outrageous?

Hephaestus, on the other hand, was somewhat puzzled. She hadn't seen Nangong Natsuki and Yor before. Had Hestia deliberately hidden them? Or had they only recently arrived? Regardless, she was relieved. Such combat power... tsk, truly outrageous!
