Zongman: Sharingan just opened, you said it was the fault of the earth

"Don't worry, I will make them obey Loki's family wholeheartedly, and..."

"I'm making this request for you... not for Loki."

Bai Yulin didn't say anything and continued listening.

"You're going on an expedition soon, right? These people are elite, strong men who have survived deep-level combat."

"You should know their value better than anyone else."

What Freya said was indeed correct.

Those people have actually come back from the 50th floor or even deeper.

If it were any other clan, they would be willing to spend all their money to get this combat power resource, but the problem is——

How could you, Freya, say so calmly that I'm not doing this for Loki, I'm doing this for you?

Just as he was about to say, "I can't make the decision on this matter," Freya suddenly changed the subject:

"Also, there is one more thing."

Bai Yulin saw that her expression suddenly became serious and her brows raised slightly.

Freya whispered:

"I want to go with you."

"Huh?!...What did you say?"

A bunch of question marks appeared on Bai Yulin's head.

"Not Freya as the main deity, but... a bystander."

Her tone was extremely serious, and even the smile on her face faded.

"A god who simply wants to witness your journey."

"...?"

Bai Yulin's expression was completely awkward:

"Wait a minute! Wait a minute!"

"You mean, let you...Freya, follow me?"

"You, a god, want to be my follower??"

Nima!

——What kind of misprinted script of "Gods Are My Little Followers" is this?!

This development is too outrageous!

"Not really a follower."

Freya's signature smile appeared on her face again.

"As for the dungeons and such, just let Ota go with you. I'll be waiting for you at the Twilight Mansion in Orario when you come home."

"grass……"

Bai Yulin couldn't hold it in any longer and blurted out a Chinese quintessence.

His face was filled with an expression that said, "I don't understand but I'm shocked."

He subconsciously looked up at the sky, as if wondering if the sun was shining upside down in Orario today.

God as a follower, LV.7 as a guard?

This is not just "outrageous", it's "the world has gone crazy"!

He had reason to suspect that in a few days, gossip would spread in Orario that Bai Yulin had seduced the goddess Freya and taken away the fierce Ota...

Without even thinking about it, Bai Yulin waved his hand and refused:

"It's no use telling me about my family."

"I'm not the Lord God, I can't make a decision."

"And you also know that after a Dependent leaves their original God, they cannot rejoin a new Dependent within a year."

"Who knows if your people will change their hearts this year? If something really goes wrong, I won't take the blame."

"As for what you said—some god will accompany me..."

His eyes were stern, and his tone was crisp and clear:

"I reject."

After saying that, Bai Yulin didn't give Freya a chance to say anything else. He turned around and left without even looking back.

Freya stood quietly in front of the door of the Dusk Pavilion, looking at Bai Yulin's departing back, and the corners of her mouth slowly rose.

That smile didn't seem like disappointment, but more like the peace of mind of "he is indeed the one I chose."

"How heartless, Yu Lin."

"But... you are the one who deserves my downfall."

She didn't chase after him, nor did she speak to keep him. She just raised one hand and tucked her falling hair behind her ear.

Freya stood there, looking like a girl gently waiting for her lover to return.

"I'll be right here...waiting for you to come home."

At the same time, the footsteps behind Bai Yulin did not stop.

He turned his head slightly and saw Ota's stone-carved face following behind him.

"What are you doing with me?"

Ota was silent for a moment and replied:

"Freya asked me to watch over you."

"...You are quite obedient."

"I only listen to Freya."

Bai Yulin: "..."

Forget it, I’m too lazy to argue.

Anyway, we'll just get rid of this guy when we enter the dungeon.

If that doesn't work, use Susanoo to catch him and throw him out.

In this way, the two of them, one in front and one behind, headed towards the Tower of Babel.

……

Adventurer Street was bustling with people.

But at the moment when Bai Yulin and Ota appeared one after another, the originally noisy street seemed to have pressed the mute button and became quiet in an instant.

But this silence lasted less than three seconds.

Then--

"That's... Bai Yulin! Who's following him?"

"You're stupid! That's Ota! The leader of Freya's clan, a Level 7 warrior!"

"Holy crap! Is this true?! Ota?! Didn't they say Freya's clan was disbanded? How come... they're still following us?!"

"Could it be... that Goddess Freya has changed her mind? She wants Ota to kill Bai Yulin in the dungeon?"

"..."

For a moment, all kinds of sounds exploded on both sides of the street.

Bai Yulin's mouth twitched.

He could already sense that ninety percent of the gazes coming from all directions were filled with anticipation for an "epic battle to take place."

After stopping, Bai Yulin turned his head and couldn't help but whispered:

"Ota, why don't you take a few steps first and stop following so closely?"

Ota shook his head:

"The mission is to guard, not to follow."

Bai Yulin: "..."

"Nima, do you know how horrible your words sound?"

Just like that, amidst the stunned and tense atmosphere of the entire Impostor Street—

Bai Yulin and Ota, one in front and one behind, like a team about to "go to war", walked up the spiral staircase to the first floor of the underground city...

As soon as he stepped into the dungeon, Bai Yulin did not hesitate at all.

His right eye suddenly turned, and the Mangekyō Sharingan opened instantly.

The next second—

"Divine power."

The air twisted slightly, and he disappeared mysteriously from the spot.

"?!"

Ota paused and looked around.

But the passage was empty and Bai Yulin was nowhere to be found.

He frowned slightly and murmured softly:

"That trick again?"

After thinking for a moment, Ota looked at the empty passage, then lowered his head to look at the ground at his feet, and remained silent for a long time.

Finally, this Level 7 warrior stood up straight, turned around and walked towards the entrance with an expressionless face:

"...Then I'll just wait here for him to come back."

So, on the ground, Freya sat on a small stool at the door of the Dusk Pavilion waiting for "Yu Lin to come home".

At the entrance of the dungeon, Ota stood quietly with his arms folded, waiting for "Yu Lin to come back."

Such a strange painting style made Bai Yulin, the person involved, really not know where to start complaining.

……

The seventeenth floor of the dungeon, the front section of the Wall of Sighs.

Bai Yulin pulled out a kunai from the Kamui space, and then covered the handle of the kunai with the golden light on his fingertips.

The Flying Thunder God technique was completed so easily.

And in front of him was a tiger beast whose strength was comparable to that of the Minotaur.

Bai Yulin raised his hand and threw the kunai forward with a "swoosh".

The kunai drew an arc in the air, but Tigermon dodged it nimbly.

The monster even roared disdainfully, as if mocking the human's attack as child's play.

But in the next second——

Bai Yulin whispered:

"Flying Thunder God Slash!"

Swish-!

A yellow light flashed.

Before Tigermon's roar fell, Bai Yulin's figure appeared behind it like a ghost.

The Kusanagi sword was unsheathed in an instant.

Pfft——!

There was no chance of struggle.

The monster that was laughing at Bai Yulin in the last second turned into black and gray in the next second.
