This is the best proof that the "divine power of the stove" has dispelled the "divine power of beauty".

Hegni could clearly feel the commotion and chaos from the outside world through his skin. In the next instant after he was completely stunned, two more figures leaped down from the high wall after [Sword Maiden].

"Oh dear—it's all your fault that I said such awful things to the little hero Argo!!"

"How dare you commit such a despicable act to mislead all of us... Won't you give us an explanation?"

Tiona, wielding her large double-edged sword and yelling in anger, and Tione, wielding two recurve kukri knives and exuding murderous intent, glared at the Freya Familia with the same fury as Ais.

"[Loki Familia]...!! Could it be that Freya's 'charm' has truly been broken...!?"

Faced with the scene before him, even a first-level adventurer (Hegney) couldn't help but shudder.

The Freya Familia, who never questioned the Supreme God, were all plunged into the abyss of chaos.

Unlike the members of the Freya Familia who had lost their composure, Ryu managed to calm herself down.

He spoke to the female swordsman who was still protecting him behind her, confronting the enemy:

"[Sword Princess]...I never expected you to save me..."

Upon hearing this, Ais slowly turned her head.

"Um...where's Bell?"

"Huh!? W-why is the first thing you asked about Bell's whereabouts!?"

"...? Is that not allowed?"

"Uh-no, it's not that it's not going to work... Wait, it really isn't going to work! I just feel like it won't work!!"

"What are you two arguing about?!"

Faced with Ais's question, which was tilted with her little head, Liu was speechless for a moment. Then she threw all her composure to the wind and blushed as she scolded Ais, which made Dione unable to help but shout out in disapproval.

Hegny, who had stopped what he was doing because of the farce, glared at her and issued a warning.

"While I cannot confirm the veracity of your claims, this is the goddess's territory! Unauthorized trespassers will not be tolerated!"

"Okay, come on, fight! I'm super angry right now anyway!!"

Tiona raised her twin blades high above her head and spun them forcefully, roaring back at the same volume.

While the dark elves clashed head-on with the female warriors (Amazons), Ais, Tione, and Ryuya looked ahead and engaged in battle with the swarming Freya Familia.

"—Spit!!"

A powerful kick landed on Allen's silver spear.

"You stinky cats, how dare you do such a disrespectful thing... No need for explanations, just watch me kick you to death."

"...You damn werewolf!"

Bert Roca stood with his back to the moonlit night, exuding a ferocious murderous aura. Allen clicked his tongue in fury.

This is the fifth district, located on the south side of the city.

Allen's squad headed straight for the main camp (headquarters), but when they were about to reach the "battlefield", they were blocked by "another force" that was also known as the largest faction in the city.

"Bert, you're really something, just like Ais and the others, you can't persuade them at all... But this time I've decided not to stand idly by anymore."

After the dwarf finished complaining, he revealed a pair of sharp, piercing eyes.

"I won't swallow this insult until I get a punch in the face from each of you before the guild stops me."

"Elgarm...!"

"The goddess's divine will has actually been broken!"

"Was it because of that strange flame earlier!?"

"You old, dwarf!"

Grace Landrock and the four Alfred brothers confronted each other next to Allen and the others.

Although the dwarves were unarmed, their fists, hard as rock, produced a terrifying sound as they swung. Upon seeing this, the four dwarf quadruplets blurted out their wavering and disgust.

Following Bert, the hot-blooded members of the Loki Familia also stepped forward, causing Pain and the others to gasp in surprise.

Both the ferocious werewolf and the dwarf warrior were enraged because their minds had been twisted.

With the fierce clash of swords and spears, the second battlefield was thus opened.

Seeing this scene that resembled a faction war, the Orario residents, still reeling from the shock, screamed incessantly.

"...No way."

The little girl, looking utterly lost, managed to squeeze out those three words.

"No way, no way—how could this be! This is all a lie!! Lily… Lily actually made him sad… she actually hurt Lord Bell like that… Aa ...

"Lily, Lady Lily!?"

Shortly after the "Purifying Flame" broke through all constraints—

A scream that was almost unbearable came from the headquarters, "Zao Huo Guan".

Since being rescued, the little girl had lived solely for the boy, secretly vowing never to betray him again. Therefore, her actions during this period were far too heavy a burden for her. The reversed memories brought everything back to Lily, and her legs went weak, causing her to collapse to the ground, letting out a piercing scream like a broken musical instrument.

He, too, was pale with guilt and was about to go and comfort the devastated Lily when... *bang!*

Suddenly, the sound of two knees falling came from another direction.

"How could I have done such a thing...? Why...? This is really... too much..."

"Haru... Haruhime-sama..."

The fox-girl collapsed to the ground in a kneeling position, tears streaming from her empty eyes.

Unlike the out-of-control Lily, Haruhime, who seemed to have transformed into a snow woman and fallen into an abyss of self-blame, was so sorrowful that anyone who saw her would be terrified and forget the passage of time. Caught between two desperate people, Mikoto was helplessly frozen in place, unable to move.

“…………!”

Welf stood there stunned, his hands clenched into fists.

Although his situation was similar to Lily's and the others, with self-loathing so intense that a strong sense of nausea welled up from within him, he still forcibly ignited a fire of anger that was enough to burn him.

Welf walked over to Lily, who was holding her head in her hands, pressing her forehead to the floor and repeatedly saying, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry...!" and then pulled her up from the ground.

"Stand up! Little Lizi! If you're so eager to be scolded, then I'll give you a good dressing down later!"

Then he used "that move" on those chestnut eyes that were constantly shedding tears.

"If we don't rescue Belle quickly, 'Goddess of Beauty' will devour him alive, leaving nothing behind!!"

"────Chia ...

The next second, her chestnut eyes widened to their limit, and she let out a scream that was louder than before.

Upon hearing this voice that broke the solemn atmosphere, both Ming and Chunji trembled with fright.

"No! This won't do! Absolutely not!! Lord Bell's chastity will be protected by Lily!! How can we allow someone to defile Lord Bell, whose heart is not yet mature, in such a filthy way?!"

"So let's hurry up and go!!"

"Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah! Lord Bell~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!!"

Thanks to Welf's ingenious antimagic fire technique, Lily, who had been screaming, immediately perked up and ran out of the living room in the blink of an eye. Welf then shouted at the dumbfounded Haruhime and the others.

"You all hurry up and follow!! Let's go welcome our family!!"

"!...They're here!!"

Chunji wiped away her tears, got up from the ground on her own two feet, and ran out at top speed.

Finally snapping out of her daze, she hurriedly chased after Welf.

Lily and Haruhime ran out of the house first, and Welf and Mikoto quickly followed.

The girl from the Far East, running shoulder to shoulder with the young blacksmith, couldn't tell whether she was deeply moved or filled with regret; she simply gave him an awkward smile.

Then, as if she could no longer contain herself, she slapped Welf on the waist and immediately quickened her pace.

Welf responded with a smile and enthusiastically waved his arms and shouted:

"We're coming right away, Bell!!"

"Waaaah... How many times have we caused Belle trouble...?"

In a desolate pharmacy.

The dog-woman weakly expressed her feelings.

"I really want to just smash my head against a wall and die..."

"Don't say such foolish things! We can only try to make amends later!"

Seeing that Nazha was genuinely disappointed in herself, Daphne grabbed her prosthetic hand and ran outside.

As the two headed straight for their chosen destination, Mih caught up with them.

Even God makes mistakes, but we can't let that discourage us. There are still things that need to be done!

"Waaaaah~ The dream really came true!!! I had a precognitive dream, so why couldn't I stand up for Mr. Bell?!"

Ignoring the rarely loud voice of the chief god, Cassandra clutched her staff and ran.

While the poor prophet cried out for reasons different from others, the Mih Familia took the same actions as the Hestia Familia.

"We've made him suffer again...! This time, simply acting as a human shield won't make up for it!"

Even so, we still have to help Mr. Bell!

Sakura and Chigusa, carrying weapons, strode quickly along the main avenue.

Closely following behind were the members of the Takemikazuchi Familia.

"Honestly, although I've felt useless many times since coming to the lower realm... this time it's even worse!"

Even though his physical abilities are no different from those of an ordinary person, the God of War (Takemikazuchi) displays an extraordinary running style, running and moving swiftly across buildings like a ninja.

"Quickly, stop them! Quickly stop these out-of-control Familias!"

In the "Guild Headquarters," which was in chaos as the staff regained their senses, Guild Master Loiman gave a loud order in a panic.

"Issue a ceasefire order immediately! Protect the Freya Familia at all costs!!"

"Huh!? But what the Guild Master—[Freya Familia]—did this time is truly unforgivable, and if we ignore it, everyone might get controlled again. It's really scary..."

"That's not the most important thing! If powerful factions... especially the Loki Familia and the Freya Familia, were to clash, Orario would be reduced to a sea of ​​fire!"

"Eeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!"

Missia, the window attendant, questioned the instructions she had heard, but was met with a roar that made her scream in fright.

Lloydman was certainly unhappy about being "charmed" himself, but he was calmer and more anxious than anyone else. To be precise, he was trembling with fear at the prospect of the all-out war between Loki and Freya that he had been worried about all along.

Now that the "charm" has been broken, the past where all the residents were manipulated is insignificant compared to the "destruction of Orario," so we must find a way to prevent this super bomb from detonating. The guild staff, realizing the gravity of the situation, also turned pale and immediately began to act.

"I have to stop it...! Otherwise... my stomach medicine dosage... will have to be increased again...!!"

Lloydman, supporting his beer belly with one hand, nearly lost his balance several times.

As the guild leader, he tried his best to remain calm.

Moreover, he knew very well that at this critical juncture, the "hot-tempered" adventurers would not easily give up.

"E-Eina! The situation seems rather complicated, but it would be better to follow the guild master's instructions first...!"

Missia tossed her peach-colored hair and turned to look behind her.

"Ah, it's gone..."

Only then did they realize that their colleague and friend, the half-elf, had disappeared and had already rushed out of headquarters.

Anger, fear, confusion, chaos.

As the vast population and gods of the labyrinth city are manipulated by various emotions, they happen to fall into the same "state" as the Freya Familia.

In other words, after being "charmed" and then having the charm removed, one becomes able to share the false information that has been instilled in them, and thus can immediately enter the situation without needing explanation from others.

"Only the goddess Freya could do something like that! She used her 'charm' on us on the day of the goddess's festival...!"

Although her memories of the period before and after being "bewitched" were quite vague, Eina, like the gods and other intelligent people, immediately thought of the only suspect who could have used such an "aggressive" method.

She strode across the main avenue, which was still noisy even after nightfall, ignoring the residents who were still confused about the situation, and breathlessly scolded them.

"Unforgivable! Neither the goddess who did this nor I who treated Belle that way are forgivable!!"
