Time to Go Home and Bring in the Laundry

Ren, like other tourists squinting and trying to see what was happening at the volcano, couldn't discern anything despite his exceptional eyesight due to the obstruction.

However, like Aphrodite, he also sensed a massive surge of magical power being generated.

No, more accurately, there are two streams.

"Hehe, this is really interesting."

In a corner of Mount Vesuvius, a man in a white robe looks at a piece of land that is probably inside the volcano.

The moment he closed his eyes and meditated, he understood why he had appeared there.

The surrounding area was filled with the essence of the earth and water.

And that vital energy is forming a new, enormous life.

The first thing to appear is a huge body with a lizard-like appearance, with broad wings growing from its back and short limbs.

Its head is shaped like a crocodile, and its gaping maw is filled with sharp teeth arranged like swords.

These images combined together form the "dragon".

A giant dragon, its body radiating a faint glow, spread its wings and circled leisurely above the volcano.

The people on the shore who looked up at the scene gasped in astonishment.

However, most people believe that this is some kind of local celebration, and the giant dragon in the sky is probably the shape of some kind of huge projector or countless drones.

This move sparked heated discussions among the public, who took out their phones to take photos and check in.

However, compared to these excited tourists, two women in the crowd looked extremely shocked.

"How is this possible?! Why would the Hera Pillar suddenly become agitated?"

"And that dragon, is it a divine beast born from the Hera Pillar? It's strange, why can even ordinary people see it?"

The first to speak was a petite woman with a baby face, dressed in a dress with many lace trims—a beautiful young girl.

Her childlike face makes one subconsciously think she's only thirteen or fourteen years old.

But only the other silver-haired girl beside her knew that Aunt Diana looked like this when she was only seven years old.

Now, almost nine years have passed, and Diana still lives with that childlike face.

That being said, time always passes, and recently some faint crow's feet have appeared at the corners of my eyes, and my skin is not as elastic as it used to be.

At times like these, Liliyana would wonder just how old Teacher Diana really was.

But now is not the time to think about such things.

"It's probably related to the mysterious magical energy that the Hera Pillar was affected by earlier. The dragon's figure is slowly becoming blurred, and it will likely disappear from sight soon."

"Teacher, let's go to the scene right away. If we continue, the situation will only get worse."

Without further ado, the two activated magic that enabled them to fly and magic that allowed them to become invisible, and quickly approached the vicinity of the volcano.

The tourists on the shore gradually lost interest after seeing the dragon disappear.

Ren was somewhat surprised to hear the whispers of the surrounding tourists.

So the big-headed dragon is still flying in the sky, and you're saying you can't see it anymore?

However, he quickly guessed at a possibility.

The mystical side of certain worlds has rather unique rules.

That's because of some mysterious anomaly, which ordinary people without special abilities cannot see.

Take this giant dragon, for example.

Furthermore, the damage caused by the unusual battle appears to ordinary people as a disaster caused by natural factors such as severe weather and earthquakes.

Only magicians, priestesses, and others with magical powers within them can see the true nature of the anomaly.

But in Ren's eyes...

Aside from the giant dragon and another immense magical force, there were two girls swaggering in the sky, using some kind of invisibility and flight magic.

After sending two systems to investigate, their names appeared before Ren's eyes.

[Character: Diana Milito]

[Status: Witch]

[Character: Liliyana Kranjcar]

[Status: Witch]

"As expected of this world."

The moment he saw the name, Ren was completely certain of where he had traveled to.

--The Campione!.

Ren was not unfamiliar with this world.

After all, he currently possesses two powers.

Both the "Rending Silver Hand" and the "Steel Protection" originate from this world.

The plot of the entire anime is quite simple: the male protagonist gains a fortuitous encounter, becomes stronger, becomes Campione!, and then builds a harem along the way, while adventuring and fighting monsters.

Of course, the vast majority of works share a similar tone.

The key point is that many of these "monsters" are not the kind of small monsters that can be easily defeated.

After all, becoming Campione! is equivalent to being a max-level character right from the start, but the enemies you have to deal with are all kinds of bosses, the "disobedient gods," who are even higher level than a max-level character.

The term "disobedient gods" may sound a bit convoluted, but in reality, it refers to gods whose actions deviate from their respective duties in mythology and who are not bound by mythology, thus descending to earth.

They defy the myths woven by humankind, wandering the world, and their mere presence brings immense impact.

If humans had the opportunity to kill such a god, they would become Campione!, wielding the same authority and power as the gods.

If Ren's guess is correct, the other massive magical force near the volcano must be the Disobedient God.

Without much thought, Ren jumped up and flew towards the source of the magical energy.

None of the people who had been standing around him noticed his disappearance.

"Hey, mortal, how can you fly? And why are you going to that dangerous place?!"

Nestled in his arms Aphrodite pressed her long hair down with her hands, and as the distance between them closed, a hint of nervousness appeared on her beautiful face.

"Kill God."

"..."

Chapter 442 Going Home to Collect Clothes

In most people's minds, becoming Campione! simply means being able to Grim Reaper.

However, Ren, who had read the original work, knew that becoming Campione! was not so simple.

First of all, the difference between humans and gods is like the difference between clouds and mud.

Kill gods.

It sounds simple, but ordinary people don't even have the courage to look God in the eye.

Even the rarest geniuses in the world who cultivate to the point of vomiting blood, experiencing distress, suffering, or even resorting to insane methods to enhance their abilities cannot compare to gods.

The power of God is the highest level that humans cannot reach from the beginning. Just exchanging glances or having a conversation with God can cause the human brain and mind to collapse.

Therefore, the idea of humans defeating gods was never possible from the beginning.

However, Campione! are a group of people capable of creating "miracles".

Campione! are not Campione! because they successfully killed gods, but because they possessed the potential to become Campione!.

In addition, there are some hidden conditions.

For example, pleasing and satisfying Pandora, winning her an extraordinary victory that would allow her to accept him as her adopted son.

Pandora, on the other hand, is a goddess who possesses the Godslayer Reincarnation Ritual and usurp the authority of slain gods.

Pandora existed even before the first Campione! was born.

It's no exaggeration to say that she is knowledgeable about both ancient and modern times.

As an outsider, Ren would certainly be noticed by Pandora, so whether Ren can gain power after defeating the god is another matter.

But no matter what, we have to give it a try.

It would be best if it could happen naturally, but it doesn't matter if it doesn't.

Anyway, as the saying goes, your hard work and talent are superficial and unreliable, while my system's stat allocation is unfathomable.

"Speaking of which, Aphrodite, what state are you in now? A disobedient god, or something else?"

"A disobedient god? I seem to recall hearing some gods discussing things beyond the realm of the gods before, but I didn't pay attention at the time. As for your question, I am no ordinary being, but rather the goddess Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty!"

Aphrodite spoke these words with an air of arrogance.

Of course, if one can ignore the fact that she is only 30 centimeters tall and is still inside Ren's collar, she does indeed exude an air of majesty.

"So, you weren't refusing to comply? No wonder you're so weak."

Ren remembered a peculiar concept surrounding disobedient gods in this world.

That is, the power of the disobedient god is not proportional to its authority and fame in mythology; its strength depends entirely on whether it has an unshakable self.

If the gods of Asgard, as Aphrodite described, truly believed themselves to be mythical deities, their actual strength might not be that formidable.

"Oh, a fight has already broken out over there."

Ren looked at the sea level where the tsunami was beginning to spread, a look of great interest on his face.

And just then...

The system notification tone also sounded at the appropriate time.

[Task: Your First Time]

[Objective: "Defeat the disobedient god Perseus"]

[Rewards: Aphrodite's Affection +30, Liliyana and Diana's Affection +20, World Teleport Anchor Fragment *1, Random Reward *1]

Have to.

The Teleport Anchor has indeed appeared again.

Even if Ren didn't want to go, he had no choice.

The sky near the volcano.

Dragons and gods are locked in fierce battle.

Of course, what was described as a fierce battle was actually just the dragon being beaten on its own.

As a divine beast formed from the essence of the region where Naples is located, it is on a completely different level from the disobedient god who was summoned by accident due to its dragon and snake attributes.

A powerful burst of magical energy erupted from the dragon's body, and its roar was like a terrifying explosion triggered by a missile, bringing a violent shock to the entire Naples region in the dead of night.

To ordinary people, however, this dragon's roar appeared to be thunder from the sky.

Many tourists were frightened and quickly dispersed into the streets because of the impending downpour.

The magical power emanating from the dragon caused changes in the ocean.

Several meters high waves crashed against the pier, the melody of water and sound surging in gradually increasing in tempo, turning the calm waters of what was just a quiet night into raging waves capable of submerging the entire coastline in the blink of an eye.

Along with the dragon came a powerful storm.

The waves surging in from all directions were aimed at that bright, clean figure near Mount Vesuvius.

That figure was arguably the most handsome man Liliyana had ever seen.

It evokes images of dazzling, sun-like golden hair, beautiful eyebrows that don't give off a weak impression, and a godlike, robust physique revealed beneath simple clothing.

The moment Liliyana saw that figure, she knew it.

For the human world, he is clearly the greatest calamity, the most violent wandering god, and also the holder of great divine power and divinity.

Although Liliyana, as a knight, would always have opportunities to see them, she never expected that it would be the day she came to visit her teacher, Diana.
