Give Zongman some collapse shock

The first to speak out were a group of fun-loving people who never mind getting into trouble.

"Ohhh! Apollo takes action!"

"This is going to be interesting!"

"Hestia, don't back down, promise him!"

"Promise him! Promise him!"

"Give Apollo a good lesson, Hestia."

Chapter 64: Annihilation War.

On the surface, the Hestia clan had just been established and only had one Lv.2 member.

This conflict of unequal strength seems to have no suspense.

Apollo was not right either.

Even so, the gods who only care about having fun don't care about that.

The gods took the lead, and their followers, even if they felt pity for Hestia's plight, could only echo her. Then came the other bystanders who were just watching the fun. For Orario, which lacked entertainment, the war games were undoubtedly a carnival, and there was no reason to stop them.

Almost everyone present was encouraging or even forcing Hestia to accept the war game.

If you refuse in public, as a god, you will lose face.

"Stop joking! Apollo, I have no obligation to agree to your outrageous request!"

Hestia roared back fiercely.

She would never let her important family members get hurt just for the sake of face.

but……

"Are you really going to reject me, Hestia?"

Apollo sneered and took a step forward.

"What do you mean?"

"What I'm saying is, you have a good relationship with the Hephaestus Familia, right? You had a good relationship in the Upper Realm, and now in the Lower Realm, the children of the Familia are also very close. You and your children can endure some setbacks, but what about your friends? Are they as strong as you?"

The implication is that if you don't agree to the war game, Apollo will harass you along with Hephaestus's family.

Unlike the solitary Hestia family, the Hephaestus family is engaged in business.

Almost in an instant, everyone's expression changed... and they all looked at Apollo as if he was a fool.

It's fine if you mess with Hestia, and you're still a bit sane if you bully the weak. But how can a mere Apollo Familia stand a chance against the Hephaestus Familia? Regardless of size or strength, you'll be beaten to a pulp.

Moreover, with the influence of the Hephaestus family in Orario now, with just one word, there are people and gods willing to charge forward and let you, Apollo, know what the sky is high and the earth is vast.

The gods, who were still in high spirits, suddenly fell silent.

"How about it, even so, you still want to refuse?"

Apollo was full of confidence.

He's not stupid.

Hestia has the support of Hephaestus's family.

He also has a backer. Freya fully supports him. As for Hephaestus's attitude? According to Freya's information, Hephaestus is not in Orario now. Apart from providing equipment, he cannot provide direct support to Hestia.

At worst, we can raise the stakes in the war game and make Hestia a subordinate deity.

As long as he wins, he and Hestia will become a community of interests. No matter how much Hephaestus hates him, he will probably not continue to target him for Hestia's sake.

"I...refuse."

Hestia hesitated, then shook her head.

It didn't matter if she knelt down and apologized to Hephaestus afterwards, she would never hand her family over to such a disgusting thing!

The Hearth Goddess was prepared.

Moreover, he received support from several members of Hephaestus's family stationed at the scene.

"That's right! Lady Hestia, don't agree to him. Our Familia won't be afraid! He's just an Apollo Familia. We won't let him go until the Captain returns!"

"That's right, now that the Captain and Lord Hephaestus are back, it's our turn to challenge them to a war game!"

The two members of Hephaestus's family were not afraid at all.

When Chun and Mei arrive later, Ota from Freya's family will be in front of them and will be slapped before leaving.

Apollo's face instantly twisted into an ugly expression.

"Well, Hestia, since you are determined to be a coward, then tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, and in the future, your friends will use the tragic experiences they personally experience to make you regret your decision today."

"Apollo..."

Hestia shuddered, but still said firmly, "You're the one who's going to regret this!"

In fact, I was furious. This was simply too much.

and so.

"Promise him, Hestia!"

"Eh?"

At some point, Kiana appeared behind Hestia and met Apollo's fiery gaze that was like a poisonous snake coiling around her without changing her expression.

"Oh~! Oh~! What a lovely child! This is the laurel that deserves my love, my glory, and my waiting~."

Apollo couldn't help wanting to sing.

"Hmph! You only know how to use dirty tricks. I don't care if you're a god or something else. You're the one who will be punished by heaven!"

Kiana glared back fiercely.

It wasn't that she was worried about the Hephaestus Familia. She knew better than anyone how powerful the Hephaestus Familia were now.

It's simply that I can no longer tolerate Apollo's disgusting remarks and methods.

She is a Herrscher, a Herrscher who stands above all adventurers.

He acts low-key, but he's not really easy to bully!

"Kiana, don't be impulsive, calm down."

Hestia tried to dissuade him.

She knew Kiana was powerful, her dazzling array of skills unheard of. But, somewhat embarrassingly, she never expected much from her family members; simply living happily together was enough. Therefore, she had never witnessed Kiana in combat and knew nothing about the power of the Herrscher.

Therefore, in the eyes of this goddess of fire, her own lovely child is just a stronger Lv.2 adventurer.

"Believe me, Hestia, I will teach him a lesson he will never forget. Besides, I am the one who is going to settle accounts with them now. We can't just pretend that what happened in the past few days never happened!"

Kiana looked directly at Apollo and snorted coldly.

"Ohh~ Looks like we've arrived at the right time."

At this time, Tsubaki arrived with Mei.

"Don't worry, Goddess Hestia. We, the Hephaestus Familia, will provide you with the most powerful equipment and will not let you lose."

Mei came over and patted Hestia on the shoulder: "Kiana is stronger than you think. She won't lose in this war game."

The two's determined gazes and Kiana's confident attitude gained Hestia's trust.

So, the war games began.

First, a divine assembly was held, and under the witness of the gods, Hestia and Apollo completed a series of procedures, including personally signing the necessary documents.

"If I win, I want Kiana Kaslana, and Hestia, and you have to become my subordinate god."

Apollo made the first request.

This is simply a winner-takes-all situation.

Corresponding.

"The same applies to me. If I win, you and your family will be at my mercy and you are not allowed to refuse."

"Of course, since we're fighting with everything on the line, let's decide the method. Let's have a fight that everyone wants to see."

This proposal was approved by almost all the gods, and after Freya expressed her opinion, the gods did not give Hestia any chance to refute.

The rules of the war game are - annihilation war.

Chapter 65: Gentle Kiana prepares the magic sword.

War games are decided under clear rules with rewards for the winner.

In other words, this was a sacred duel, and neither the guild nor any third party had room to intervene.

"The authority of the war game binds the main gods of both sides. This grand performance satisfies the gods' entertainment. The gods also have the obligation to supervise. No one can interfere with this interesting game. The Hestia family cannot play tricks. In other words, this is a battle that must be won. Proud Apollo family, there is only one enemy. Our glorious hunt has begun. Sing a song of respect, and then cheer! Dedicate everything to Master Apollo!"

The leader of Apollo's family, Hyacinthus, is a slender and elegant young man.

At this moment, he waved his arms exaggeratedly and gave a passionate pre-war speech.

The high emotions were extremely contagious. Even though the battle had not yet officially begun, most of the clan members had already established their victory on a spiritual level.

Indeed, judging by their apparent strength on paper, the Apollo Familia, with its hundred members, faced a mere Hestia Familia... no, not really a Familia, but a mere Level 2 adventurer. They had no reason to lose. Their only chance of a comeback was to resort to underhanded tactics, which were forbidden under the witness of the gods.

Hyacinthus expressed his disdain and contempt for Kiana in front of his subordinates, with a murderous look in his eyes.

These were naturally broadcast live to the residents of Orario by the gods using their divine power.

"Apollo, this is what you were planning from the beginning."

At the divine assembly, Hestia glared at Apollo fiercely.

"Of course, we need to be on guard against Hephaestus's interference. Everyone knows of your friendship with her, but she's not in Orario right now. Her first-level adventurers can't help you win this game by converting at the last minute. Everyone is watching you, Hestia, and you have no help."

Apollo smiled and pointed to another live broadcast screen.

It was the members of Hephaestus's family who were transporting boxes of heavy equipment, and Kiana.

The only thing the Hephaestus Familia could do was deliver some equipment. When the battle began, if these adventurers attacked Apollo's Familia, the gods would immediately declare Hestia the loser.

"What a touching and sincere friendship, but they could only watch their friend lose the battle."

Apollo teased sarcastically, "Hestia, did you beg them to help transport the equipment? They even sent the kid's friends to the scene to witness his defeat firsthand. How cruel."

Hestia gritted her teeth, too angry to speak.

The camera turns back to the battlefield.

This is the remains of an ancient city surrounded by forests and hills.

A large number of Apollo's family guarded the ancient city.

The victory condition is to completely destroy all enemy forces, but there is only one Kiana. Considering the show effect, Kiana's location was assigned to the complex forest, perhaps hoping to develop into a cat-and-mouse game.

However, it was beyond everyone's expectations.

A few minutes after the war signal was sounded, Kiana climbed up the bare hill, and below her was the wide road connecting to the ancient city.

"Which one is it?"

"He called directly, even though there was only one person?"

The two people guarding the city wall suddenly panicked.

As the gods had hoped, the main force of Apollo's Familia stormed into the forest. Those remaining in the city were a small, temporary "command center" tasked with intelligence and analysis. Their most capable member was a magician with remote communication abilities.

In this situation, being attacked...

"What are you afraid of? It's just one person!"

"Are you stupid? She can take as much of Hephaestus's family's high-end equipment and magic swords as she wants. Even if she's alone, she can easily defeat us with the magic sword!"

The smart one grabbed his companions and tried to run away.

They are only Lv.1.

Because they never thought that the enemy would dare to attack, the guards at the city gate only left two members symbolically, and they didn't even have the strength to close the city gate, let alone fight.

"Asshole, don't even think about running away!"
