Give Zongman some collapse shock

"Eh, is there no one guarding it?" Jiang Chen was slightly stunned.

The anchor point of the world of Dicuo is set in Hephaestus's exclusive forge room.

I thought that based on Kiana and Mei's personalities, they might stay here, or at least come to check on us from time to time.

At worst, Chun, who is more calm, would arrange for a family member to wait here.

I didn't expect to see anyone.

The two men left the forging room in confusion and searched the base for several times.

No! Not a single person!

"What the hell?"

"It's impossible that my clan would abandon me, the main god, just because I go out, right?" Hephaestus looked confused.

No, even if he abandoned her, he wouldn't abandon Jiang Chen as well, right?

You know, the restrictions of [Fate] are much stricter than those of [Favor].

Once Jiang Chen chooses to seal his followers, all their abilities will instantly disappear, and even [Blessings] will not be imprinted on them anymore, and they will become truly ordinary people.

Hephaestus felt that his own children should not be so pessimistic.

"Maybe something happened, let's go out and look for it."

"Also."

Reaching a consensus, the two of them slowly walked out of the clan's residence.

At the same time, the entire Orario was plunged into a festive atmosphere.

Adventurers were gambling in the tavern, and the gods were holding a meeting.

Just because today, two families gambled everything and started a popular war game.

"I will never forgive these bastards so easily, especially that disgusting god!" Kiana stood on a hill, holding two guns and carrying a greatsword on her back, with an expression of resentment on her face.

The reason for this happened ten days ago.

Kiana, who was supposed to be waiting for Jiang Chen and the other two to return in the clan, waited and waited at the crossing anchor point, but there was no movement at all.

I was really bored, and since I had become the Herrscher of Fire, I thought of going to the dungeon to experiment with my new powers.

In fact, the white-haired dumpling is still very obedient.

She kept Jiang Chen's instructions in mind, stayed away from the tavern called "The Hostess of the Harvest", did not talk to strange gods, and kept a low profile in everything she did.

So, having lost his spatial power and unable to teleport directly into the dungeon's depths, White-Haired Dumpling prudently chose to remain on the fifth floor. That area was full of novices, except for those passing through, and choosing a remote location generally meant you wouldn't encounter anyone.

Should we say it is fate or simple misfortune?

Because the deputy leader and important combat forces of the clan disappeared in the dungeon, the entire Loki clan went crazy and continued to search the dungeon intensively for the traces of Livilia and Ais, turning Orario upside down.

Under such circumstances, a Minotaur disturbed by Loki's followers arrived at the fifth floor and had a fateful encounter with Bell Crane, who entered the dungeon alone on a whim.

Bell was chased all the way and escaped to Kiana.

Miss Kaslana, who is full of justice, naturally came to the rescue.

Just this one rescue averted the disaster.

Well, I don't really have too many thoughts.

This book is a fresh start after many years... or rather, a fresh start. I've found myself feeling quite a bit rusty without realizing it, but I'll keep working on it.

I can take any opportunity to explain the problems in the previous chapters.

Some readers have commented that the protagonist is a bit of a bootlicker towards Hestia.

Honestly, I, the author, can't understand this either. After all, in the original story, the protagonist and Hestia haven't even met before Kiana officially joins Hestia's Familia. Mei and Kiana are simply introduced to Hestia.

It wouldn't really be considered licking. The original intention of joining a clan wasn't simply to gain [Blessings], but to understand the gods themselves, their combat power, and their authority from the very beginning. Approaching them based on deception and exploitation is, at best, like treating a client to a meal to secure a project.

Regarding the reader’s response, Hestia and Kiana are a good match.

This is a complete misunderstanding. Hestia, as described in this book, expresses her affection for her family. However, as a deity, she's inherently incapable of empathy with mortals, mimicking their ways. Furthermore, she was initially moved by Kiana, leading to an overly emotional outburst. This may be due to a flaw in my writing, leading to the misunderstanding.

Regarding readers’ feedback, Cocolia has restricted the network entry of destiny.

At that time, the protagonist was infected with Honkai disease, and Tianming was known to the outside world as the world's top Honkai disease research institution.

In other words, this is perfectly normal. Once a report is made to Heavenly Mandate, members of Heavenly Mandate are required to investigate Changkong City. This creates an unstable situation for Cocolia's chances, so restrictions are necessary.

There weren't many cases of Honkai disease in Changkong City. Even though the MEI Company was conducting weapons research, it also processed Honkai energy. Just like harmful substances like HE waste, it was impossible for them to directly poison the city.

To summarize, before Mei began her Herrscher transformation, the concentration of Houkai energy throughout Changkong City was normal. Even if some residents contracted Houkai disease, Cocolia would secretly deal with it, preventing Tianming from discovering it.

But the protagonist was chosen by Cocolia to be the sacrifice to force Mei's mental breakdown. He should have been infected with the Honkai disease and died, or even become Deadpool and be killed by Mei herself, so he was temporarily spared by Cocolia and treated specially.

That’s pretty much it.

Chapter 63: Tragic Love of Apollo.

Freya, the goddess of beauty.

Ironically, this goddess of beauty had no idea what love was. Her innate charm captivated everyone, naturally rewarding them with affection and actions that resembled love. However, unable to receive true love, she collapsed.

So he came to the underworld to seek change.

By chance, she met a young man named Bell Crane.

It was love at first sight.

She has eyes that can see through the soul, and the moment they meet, she is deeply fascinated by Bell's soul.

Afterwards, he was successfully taken into the family and taken good care of. The boy also worked hard to repay this kindness, changing day by day towards the attitude that Freya expected.

Until one day, Bell ran back to the clan excitedly, and Freya updated his [Blessing]

——【Yearning with all my heart】!

That damned skill, and Bell's innocent talk about another woman, all caused Freya's mood to deteriorate rapidly, and she felt an unprecedented level of jealousy.

Kiana Kaslana.

A child of Hestia's Familia.

In Orario, a city teeming with talent, Kiana has always kept a low profile. Freya first heard of Kiana's name at the Divine Assembly. She had broken Orario's record for fastest leveling in just three months. The previous holder of that record was the renowned Ace Wallenstein.

Freya, with mixed feelings, quietly observed Kiana for a while.

It must be said that Kiana possessed a considerable charm. The radiant light of her soul was, in Freya's eyes, an unprecedented beauty.

In the past, Freya would have done whatever it took to get Kiana into her family. Even if Kiana's soul wasn't her favorite color, her beauty would have become her most proud collection.

But when Bell admired Kiana, Freya felt only fear and jealousy.

I was afraid that such a beautiful soul would attract Bell, which was a natural thing.

She was jealous that such a beautiful soul could get the love that was out of her reach.

So, she made a decision, an ugly decision that was not in line with her identity.

Destroy this girl!

"Hey~ Apollo, do you know a cute kid named Kiana..."

With just the slightest instigation, the perverted god who had no regard for gender took the bait as easily as she had expected.

Thus, Kiana and Hestia's nightmare began.

Whenever I go out, no matter what I do, I'm met with inexplicable provocations. At night, when I'm about to go to bed, all sorts of strange noises are heard outside the house, and when I open the door in the morning, the first thing I see is a pile of stinking garbage.

The accumulation of these seemingly insignificant troubles made Kiana a little mentally exhausted.

Finally, he could no longer bear it, so he first sought help from Hephaestus's family, and then he directly caught a few people who were making trouble and beat them up.

However, the members of Apollo's family were like cockroaches, always finding opportunities to harass Hestia's family crazily.

Finally one day, Apollo appeared with a group of his family members.

He appeared openly and surrounded the Hestia family.

"Ah! Bo! Luo! It really is this guy!"

Through the second-floor window, Hestia stared at the leading figure below with gritted teeth.

Apollo, the god of light?

Kiana tilted her head in confusion, glancing at Hestia and then at Apollo below her.

I have to say that the gods in the world of Dicuo are generally very good-looking.

But the god below, whose body was covered in grease, was very different from the God of Light that Kiana had imagined.

From the mythology she knew, wasn't Apollo supposed to be an elegant, handsome god, steeped in art? While the mythological Apollo wasn't particularly glorious, he certainly wasn't as disgusting as the one below, was he?

Suddenly I felt disillusioned.

"Hestia, do you know the greasy god down there?"

"Ah, let's just say I know him. He's a nasty guy."

Hestia's face darkened as she spoke bitterly, "Back in the Upper Realm, that guy was everyone's laughingstock. I heard he's still a troublemaker even in the Lower Realm, with constant scandals. It's said that all the children in his Familia were forced into joining his clan after he first courted them and then pestered them."

What annoyed Hestia the most was that when she was in the upper realm, Apollo proposed to her.

She rejected it outright, but was pestered for a long time afterwards. Through that experience, Hestia realized how shameless Apollo was.

"I received this guy's invitation to a party a while ago, and I guessed he had his eyes on you, so I turned him down. I didn't expect that despite all my precautions, I still couldn't stop this bastard from losing his mind the moment he saw the person he liked."

"So, all the things that happened recently were because of this god?"

Kiana clenched her fists.

She didn't care about the other person's identity as a god, and she wanted to rush down and beat him up in a fit of rage.

Thinking of this, she felt a little aggrieved.

She had been keeping a low profile, and had only just met Apollo today. Yet, he had been inexplicably entangled with her, and now he was causing a big commotion... According to Hestia, Apollo was here to propose.

Kiana almost vomited from nausea.

"What a shame, this god."

"...Apollo is really a jerk."

Hestia nodded in approval.

At this moment, the commotion below was growing louder and louder. Many gods and adventurers from various clans arrived one after another. At this point, there was no way to continue pretending to be dead.

After thinking for a moment, Hestia said seriously, "Kiana, I'll go down and deal with Apollo later. He's a very difficult guy, so don't show up. Otherwise, it will get even more difficult and there will be no end to it."

After saying that, he went downstairs and opened the door.

"Apollo, what on earth do you want to do? The ones who have been harassing me recently are the children of your clan, right? If you don't give me a reasonable reason, I will directly let the guild intervene!"

"The guild can't help you, Hestia. Several of my children were beaten innocently by your members. Many people witnessed it."

Apollo opened his arms and raised the corners of his mouth.

It was a rather twisted and obscene looking smile.

Hestia shuddered, feeling nauseated.

"Stop confusing right and wrong here. It was your clan member who provoked me first!"

"So what? It's a fact that my child was hurt, and the conflict between us can no longer be simply resolved. It's unavoidable, Hestia. According to the rules of the gods, I formally challenge you to a war game. If I win, I want your family member, Kiana Kaslana."

Apollo made no secret of his malice.

After a brief silence, the atmosphere suddenly became heated.
