Are You Guys Dogs or What?
Lord Gabriel is so naive; it would be terrible if they weren't careful and let Lord Gabriel get eaten by Ren.
"It just so happens that I brought Asia along too. She'll be very excited if she can see the Seraph in person."
Ren finished speaking.
Just as they were about to take them to find Lavinia and the other two, Odin and Rossweisse were waiting at the elevator entrance.
"Lord Gabriel, Lord Ren."
Rossweisse said politely.
"Lord Odin said he has something he wants to discuss with Lord Ren."
"Should I excuse myself?"
Gabriel blinked and asked gently.
"No need, it's nothing serious, I just wanted to ask this kid for a favor."
Odin shook his head.
"You should have already heard me explain the situation of our Norse Mythology."
"In preparation for the potential Dark Ages, I have been trying to find ways to overcome difficulties. That is why I left Asgard and came here to seek cooperation with you. However, not everyone agrees with my move. Before I left, there were others who tried to stop me from leaving Norse Mythology."
"Although I still made it here, those people certainly won't let this go."
"So kid, I'd like to hire you for the next period of time."

"Full route or one-time?"
Ren wasn't surprised.
What's the difference?
"For a one-time hire, I'll handle one task for you. For a full-service hire, I'll resolve all the troubles that arise during the process. The only difference is the price. A one-time hire is affordable for many people, but as for a full-service hire..."
Ren glanced at Odin; compared to the Demon King, Gabriel, Azazel, and the others, Odin's attire was quite simple.
Furthermore, it was previously revealed that Norse Mythology was facing internal financial difficulties, with very few heroes even wanting to enter Valhalla, and the number of Valkyries was constantly being reduced.
Although he was a chief god, Ren was indeed a little worried that Odin couldn't afford the price.
Upon hearing this, Odin stroked his beard and laughed heartily.
"You brat, even if our Norse Mythology is in a terrible situation, it's not like we can't even afford to hire one person."
"Hearing you say that puts my mind at ease. Actually, I've long admired Asgard's treasure vault... I've heard it contains many rare and precious artifacts that you've collected."
Ren's face showed longing.
"Of course, I've lived for quite a few years, and I have some savings."
Odin smiled faintly at Ren's compliment.
"That's great! I wanted to ask if you have Cosmic Cube in your treasure vault?"
"The Cosmic Cube? What's that?"
"Oh, a dimensional portal, and a Space Stone is sealed inside."
There is no such thing.
"What about the Infinity Gauntlet?"
"Uh... what is that?"
"The dwarves crafted a gauntlet to hold the six Infinity Stones, and it is said that whoever collects all the Infinity Stones will gain infinite power to rule the universe."
Upon hearing this, Odin thought he had misheard.
When did he get such awesome Infinity Stones in his vault?
If he possessed such a thing, would he need to go to such lengths to negotiate with the three major powers to find a way to perpetuate the myth?
If I just put on the Infinity Gauntlet, wouldn't the whole world... uh, the entire universe have to kneel down and sing "Conquer"?
"Alright, then we should at least have the Destroyer Armor, right? It's not as powerful as the Infinity Gauntlet, but destroying a world is a piece of cake."
Upon hearing this, Odin began to question the meaning of life. He looked blankly at Rossweisse and asked, "Um, do I have such a thing in my warehouse?"
Rossweisse shook her head innocently.
How could she possibly know what was hidden in the God's storeroom?
Final.
Feeling a little guilty after being told off by Ren, Odin obediently chose to hire him only once.
He also received a new task from the system at the same time.
[Quest: Ragnarök]
[Objective: "Defeat Loki and Fenrir, and ensure Odin's safety."]
[Reward: Odin and Rossweisse's favorability +30, random reward *2]
Rossweisse left with Odin was filled with existential doubt.
Gabriel, watching the elevator Odin had left in, asked, "Norse Mythology is indeed in a very difficult situation. Odin not only came to communicate with us personally, but we also have to be wary of interference from within our own ranks."
"Ren, taking on this kind of task rashly is not a good habit."
Ren knew that Gabriel was concerned about him.
Norse Mythology differs fundamentally from other mythological systems.
After all, Norse Mythology is almost the only mythology that explicitly records the fall of the gods in the future and the inevitable arrival of the Dark Ages.
Although the Dark Ages are said to be over and the Bronze Black Cross Age, a period of development, is about to begin, the current situation suggests that once the Dark Ages arrive, other organizations and forces will inevitably intervene and devour the Nordic region completely.
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
Ren chuckled softly as he spoke.
People can lie, but can a system lie to them?
His opponents this time are Loki and Fenrir, who are also the main culprits behind Ragnarok in mythology, so Ren has nothing to worry about.
He was also quite curious about how powerful the main god and transcendent beings of this world would be.
"Compared to this, Gabriel, Asia will probably be much more excited about your appearance."
"Asia, she's a good child. It's our Heaven that has wronged her."
At this point, Gabriel's face showed remorse.
Gabriel's expression was pitiful; Ren didn't know if Asia was excited, but he was definitely a little thrilled.
As a seraph, yet possessing such a vile body, you shouldn't be called an angel anymore; you should become a succubus instead.
Soon, Ren brought Gabriel to meet Lavinia and her two companions who were watching a movie in the VIP room.
When Ren returned, Lavinia nodded slightly to him, while Kuroka stared intently at the screen without turning her head. The movie was at a crucial moment, and she didn't care about anything else.
Asia shifted her attention from the screen, intending to greet Ren, but little did she know that this glance would become an eternal memory.
Her long, golden hair, as dazzling as sunlight, flowed smoothly over her shoulders. Her fair, snow-white skin radiated a faint holy light, and she exuded an innate sacred aura, as if she were the embodiment of purity.
As a nun Asia recognized Gabriel at a glance, but the emotions welling up inside her made her unsure for a moment.
She stood there coldly, unsure how to react.
"Asia Argento, thank you for your hard work these past few days."
Gabriel started with this sentence.
Asia, realizing what was happening, jumped up from where she stood, standing there helplessly.
Gabriel walked over, bent down, and affectionately took her hands in his. A look of guilt appeared on his delicate and sculpted features. "Seeing you doing so well makes me feel a little relieved."
"The reason we expelled you from the Church in the past was also my idea. After all, the Sacred Gear you possessed would interfere with the normal operation of the system, and we had no choice but to let you leave the Church."
"Of course, that's true, but it's still our fault. I learned from Mr. Ren that you were here, so I rushed over immediately."
"No, um, I... I..."
After listening to Gabriel's story and watching her embrace her, Asia was so overwhelmed by the overflowing sacred aura and soft warmth that she couldn't process it; her brain simply went blank.
After all, for believers, being able to witness the descent of an angel in this lifetime is already a great honor, let alone the Seraphim, who hold the highest position.
"I'm sorry, Asia."
"..."
Ren sat to the side, feeling a little envious.
Logically, he and Gabriel should have a better relationship, right? So why didn't he hug him when they met before?
This must be sexism!
However, from this perspective, Gabriel's curve is undeniably perfect in every way.
Just as Ren was lost in thought, he suddenly noticed two piercing gazes from the side.
Xenovia and Irina Shidou were staring at him with wide eyes.
"I think I've sensed a cunning gaze."
Ren is struggling.
You didn't turn into angels, you turned into dogs, didn't you?

Chapter 167
Asia was moved to tears as Gabriel chased after her to apologize.
"You're from Dandong..."
Suddenly, a burst of rousing music filled the room, and everyone subconsciously forgot what they had been doing.
But then Ren said apologetically, "The phone volume was a bit too high, you guys continue."
However, with Ren interrupting them, the atmosphere between Gabriel and Asia couldn't continue.
"Asia, there was actually another fundamental reason why you were expelled in the first place..."
At this point, Gabriel suddenly paused and turned to look at Ren.
"I'm sorry, Asia, I need to discuss this with Mr. Ren first."
Ren, who had been listening in, said without looking up, "Go ahead and say it. We're going to find out about this sooner or later anyway, and since you're here, you should be more comfortable with it."
"Um."
Gabriel understood this as well, so he turned to look at Asia, who had a puzzled expression.
What is so important?
Even so, when Asia saw Gabriel's solemn expression, a bad feeling welled up in her heart.
"Asia, you need to be mentally prepared for what I'm about to say, and no matter what happens, we'll be there for you."
Gabriel first gave Asia a heads-up, and then, seeing that Asia was ready, he revealed the fact that the gods had disappeared.
"I'm sorry, but precisely because of this, after you demonstrated the ability to heal even demons, we had no choice but to banish you from the system. If you continue to stay in the Church, it will affect the system and cause even greater trouble."
Gabriel continued, confessing his sins to Asia.
But just then, Xenovia suddenly leaned in and said, "Lord Gabriel, Asia... she seems to have fainted."
The people in the room were in a flurry of activity.
However, Ren had anticipated this outcome and was therefore completely unfazed.
Besides, with Gabriel here, he doesn't need to do anything to comfort people.
Soon after, Asia regained consciousness, and Gabriel immediately went to comfort and persuade her.
