"If I really had that ability, I should be sitting on the throne of the God King now, right?"

After saying this, he didn't hide anything and simply told her about his meeting with Uranus two days ago.

Uranus summons—unusual movements in the dungeon—a sign of the awakening of the "Black Dragon," one of the three major commissions—the guild decides to launch a joint investigation.

What he said was logical and progressive, and it sounded reasonable.

But only Bai Yulin himself knew what he had casually omitted:

For example, Uranus's tacit consent is almost equivalent to "god-level immunity".

For example, the "true history" behind this mission will be rewritten by him, Bai Yulin.

Ais and Lefiya didn't question anything, nor did they care about the "omitted parts".

They just believe whatever Bai Yulin says.

However, Ai Si's eyes trembled noticeably when she heard the word "Black Dragon".

A strong murderous intent suddenly appeared in those pupils.

"Ais."

Bai Yulin called out softly, then reached out and touched her head.

Under the suppression of the head-patting killing move, the murderous intent that was about to erupt slowed down little by little at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Ai Si lowered her head and hummed softly.

Lefiya, who was standing by, felt helpless and envious, but she didn't say much.

After the atmosphere calmed down, Bai Yulin spoke:

"This guild commission is ostensibly open to all of Orario, but considering resources, strength, and willingness..."

He paused, shrugged and smiled:

"I guess only Loki's Familia and Freya's Familia will really take over."

"Then—see you in the dungeon."

Hearing this, Lefiya exclaimed "Huh", and Ais also subconsciously raised her head.

Their eyes met, and then they looked at Bai Yulin together, with some indescribable emotions in their eyes.

They've gotten used to it.

I was used to having that black-haired boy by my side in the maze;

He was used to having his sun-blocking Susanoo as the final barrier in battle;

But now we have to... enter the dungeon separately?

Ais couldn't help but frown, and Lefiya also curled her lips and muttered softly:

"Don't run too fast. Lady Aisi and I want to see your new abilities!"

Bai Yulin was about to respond to Lefiya's words "I want to see new abilities", but before the smile on her lips faded, Lefiya suddenly spoke as if she remembered something:

"Oh right! Lady Hestia came to see Lord Loki yesterday and kept mentioning your name!"

"Hestia...?"

He has been busy testing his new abilities these past two days. If Lefiya hadn't said it, Bai Yulin would have almost forgotten about the petite loli god who had a huge canyon and was always yelling at him for a "cohabitation reward."

Especially the way she was blushing while mustering up the courage to confess, Bai Yulin couldn't help but chuckle:

"Is she okay?"

Lefiya nodded:

"Lady Hestia seems to be in good condition, but she kept telling Lord Loki that you were from Loki's Familia, saying there was no way you could be from Freya's Familia, and she even said she was going to find a way to prove something..."

"The results of it?"

Bai Yulin raised his eyebrows.

"As a result..." Lefiya spread her hands, "Loki just thought she was fooling around and asked if you, a little dwarf, had eaten too many fried potatoes."

When Ai Si heard this, a look of nostalgia appeared on her face, and she added in a low voice:

“She really is serious.”

Bai Yulin certainly knew that Hestia was not bewitched, but the fact that she was fighting alone and no one believed in her... was indeed difficult.

Lefiya suddenly added:

"It seems that Lady Hestia is... immune to Freya's charm?"

Bai Yulin nodded, confirming Lefiya's guess:

"Freya's charm is indeed ineffective against Hestia."

Hearing this, Lefiya's eyes suddenly lit up, as if she had grasped a life-saving straw:

"That's all right, isn't it?! With Hestia-sama's help, Orario will be able to return to normal! She's a goddess, even charms won't work on her. She'll definitely be able to—"

"No."

Bai Yulin interrupted her directly.

Lefiya was stunned, and Ais also raised her head slightly, both of them with confusion in their eyes.

"It's not that she doesn't want to help." Bai Yulin sighed softly, "It's just that this path is simply unrealistic."

He remembered what Hestia did in the original book: with the help of Hermes, she dripped divine blood into the wood, then ignited it, and used divine power when the flames burned to successfully break Freya's charm.

Asking for flowers

"That's the worst option."

Bai Yulin looked at the two girls in front of him and said slowly:

"Goddess Hestia's way is too slow, too cumbersome, and too involved."

"As you know, the Freya Familia is now the number one Familia in Orario."

"No matter how clever Hestia is, or how skillful her methods are, she can't completely eradicate Enchantment from Orario without sparking a massive conflict."

Both fell silent.

Indeed, Bai Yulin was right.

Hestia is now alone, without any family or support. Even if she has the divine power to be immune to charm, can she remove the entire Orario's charm web by herself?

It’s simply a fantasy.

Ai Si asked in a low voice: "Then...what should we do?"

Bai Yulin smiled.

He raised his head, as if looking through the intertwined branches of the tree maze, and looked towards the sky higher:

"Soon."

"I have a feeling... after this, everything will be over."

……

Just as Bai Yulin expected——

Uranus sent a commission to all of Orario, but only two companies responded.

[Freya's Family] and [Loki's Family].

The two top forces both accepted this guild-led "exploration mission."

The reason why Freya's family took it over was simple.

Because the main goddess Freya intends to use this method to "consume" Bai Yulin.

Just like how she treated the Virgin Mary, White-Haired Belle, in the original book.

Let Hedin press him through round after round of training, exhausting his energy and spirit, and then she would take advantage of the opportunity to completely charm and control him.

But this time, the target was Bai Yulin and the method was also different.

She is still the goddess behind the scenes who controls everything.

She had even tacitly acknowledged that Bai Yulin was not "completely" in her grasp.

But Freya is not in a hurry, she will wait.

This 59-story expedition pushed him "to the limit."

Then, seize the only flaw and complete the "God's Guidance".

Moreover, Freya's family had no room for refusal.

As the largest family in Orario, if they refused such a mission in front of the whole city, even if they were deceived by charm, they would reveal their flaws.

The reason why Loki's family took it over was, as Lefiya said, because they were poor.

After the war game, they were considered the "loser", their support dropped sharply, and their reputation declined.

But they never wavered in their belief in exploring the dungeon.

In addition, the rewards given by the guild this time are very generous, which is a bargaining chip that no clan can resist.

Even if we have to cooperate with Freya's family... we have to accept it.

Finally, the announcement was made public, and the city was shaken.

Everyone believed that Freya and Loki's two families would work together to complete Orario's historic exploration.

Bai Yulin, the real driving force behind all this, just smiled slightly.

This mission, hailed as the "starting point of a new era expedition," will completely deteriorate in his hands.

Not exploration, not cooperation.

It is the prelude to the awakening of the Samsara Eye.

Everything is for that real moonlight dream - [Infinite Tsukuyomi].

At this moment, Bai Yulin followed the people of Freya's family and looked up at the Tower of Babel that was so familiar.

Beside him were members of Freya's family with solemn expressions.

Ota, Hegni, Haici...all of them are the elite among the elite.

In my ears, I heard the cheers and shouts of the people of Orario:

"It's Freya's family!"

"They're heading to the dungeon!"

"For the safety of our Orario!"

"So handsome... Is that Bai Yulin, the one walking in front?"

"..."

Bai Yulin listened to these words without any emotion on his face.

In the hearts of the people of Orario, no matter how glorious Bai Yulin's previous achievements were, at this moment they were all given the name of "Freya's Family".

This is the charm, the world’s “pseudo-consensus”.

Of course he hated Freya, hated the way she replaced logic with charm and used inducement to control fate.

But now, he was just walking side by side with these people temporarily.

Today marks the beginning of the journey to the dungeon.

It will also be the final stroke to put an end to the world of Dicuo.
