“Miss Ishtar, you and the people on Night Street need to consider a transformation.”
Is this... a threat?
"It was a well-intentioned reminder."
"Are you telling us to give up everything that's working so well now?"
"Because you're in my way."
"you……!"
Baili's words were very straightforward.
This made Ishtar, who had been rebuked, show an unhappy expression.
But before she could retaliate, Loki stepped forward.
"Yeah."
At this moment, Loki, playing the role of peacemaker, ran between the two.
"Ishtar has her choices, and President Hyakuri has his thoughts. I don't think there's any real right or wrong, just a matter of perspective!"
"Humph."
Ishtar gave a soft hum.
Baili also made a decision.
Then they shut down the Night Street.
However, before that, Loki's words caught Baili's attention.
"To be honest, war games are supposed to be duels between clans to resolve conflicts. Adventurers' guilds aren't clans, so they can't participate. But I think rules are rigid, but people are flexible."
Loki looked at Baili
“I… the chief god of the Loki Familia is very curious about the kind of power that the Adventurers’ Guild, represented by Guild Master Baili, possesses, so… I want to accept the challenge just now.”
"Oh?"
Baili was very surprised.
It's worth noting that Loki was unruly and unrestrained in the Celestial Realm, but after acquiring his Familia, he became much more tactful and took great care of his Familia.
She couldn't possibly gamble everything so easily.
"However, I think it's better to leave room for maneuver in everything you do. Betting everything is too exaggerated, isn't it, Chairman Baili?"
"I don't think that everything the Adventurers' Guild has is an immeasurable treasure for your clan."
"But without familiars and adventurers, the guild couldn't acquire magic stones so efficiently, could it?"
So Loki suggested
"Without taking everything from the other party, we can propose three conditions to the loser. What do you think?"
"There isn't much difference between the two."
"At least it leaves the other party with some safety net, right?"
Loki kept that smile.
0 . . . . . . . . .
Baili immediately agreed.
"I agreed."
At least it allows the girls to spar with the powerful members of the Loki Familia, which is quite a bit of fun.
Only then did Freya, who had been watching, speak.
"This divine gathering is not simply an event for the two of you to duel; there are many other things to discuss, so this is just the beginning."
Freya waved her right hand gently, and curtains fell around her.
They are like projectors of the world, recording and presenting all the important issues and events.
"Let's talk about the major events that have happened recently, many of which... are related to President Baili."
Freya's gaze fell on Baili, revealing a half-smile.
Baili had no interest in the follow-up meetings of the Divine Society.
The gods mostly discussed how to manage Orario, how to establish new cooperative relationships with the Adventurers' Guild, and how to deal with recent issues in the dungeon.
However, the girls who came with Baili were completely different from him...
Under Demeter's guidance, Kitten, Miko, and the others began to savor the food served at the synagogue.
Akeno and Yukino were also surrounded and talked to by other women from the same clan.
Many of them were sent by the main god to try and gather information about Baili through Zhu Nai and Yukino...
On the other side——
Hestia thought the food in front of her looked delicious and considered packing some to take home, but Hephaestus quickly stopped her.
"Mr. Baili, you should try it too! It's super delicious!"
Since there was no way to pack it up, Hestia decided to eat more.
Baili, who had been invited, then went over.
At the same time, he also released his power, surrounding the scene.
A large amount of information entered Baili's consciousness.
He then locked onto two figures not far away.
One is Loki, and the other is Freya.
As the chief deities of Orario's two strongest clans, they became very close at this divine gathering.
While Baili was investigating the past, the first thing he heard was Loki's speech.
"It will win."
Loki said this with considerable confidence.
“I accept your plan, Loki, but I don’t think we’re guaranteed to win. Your overconfidence will only cause trouble sooner or later.”
"Really? You're overthinking it, Freya. Have you forgotten how we used to do things? Don't tell me you're scared before you've even started. That's not how Orario's strongest is."
Their conversation reminded Baili of the world's past.
After the failed expedition against the Black Dragon, the Zeus Familia and the Hera Familia were severely weakened. So Loki joined forces with Freya to drive the declining Zeus Familia and Hera Familia out of Orario and became the new strongest Familia.
To put it bluntly, Loki and Freya are also pursuing their own interests.
And now... they see huge benefits in Baili.
Therefore, both parties chose to cooperate.
"So... you're planning to join forces again?"
The fact that Orario's strongest clans have joined forces has piqued Bai Li's interest.
I believe the upcoming battles won't be so boring.
Thinking this, Baili looked at the girl and the others not far away.
Soon, the strongest clan's experience points will be delivered to their doorstep. How many levels will the girls gain then?
Thinking this, Baili accepted the food Hestia and Hephaestus offered him and began to enjoy it with a pleasant mood.
Chapter 106 Preparing for a Speedrun of Loki's Familia
As the gathering was about to end, Baili led Hestia, Akeno, Yukino, and others to the upper level of the banquet.
This floor belongs to Freya's family and its main function is for daily training.
Of course, adventurers from other clans and those who have not joined a clan can also use it, but only one-fifth of the total area is open to the public.
Now, Baili is sitting in a hall that is not open to the public.
Perhaps because they had drunk too much, Hestia dragged Demeter and Hephaestus to the balcony of the building, saying they wanted to have a meeting of goddesses.
Akeno, Koneko, Yukino, and Miko, who weren't paying attention to them, were more curious about what would happen next.
They were unaware of the specific procedures involved in the war game.
Therefore, he chose to accompany Baili to the scene so that he could have a private conversation with Loki.
Generally, to ensure fairness, the format of war games between clans is determined by drawing lots.
However, this war game is quite special.
It was a battle between the Adventurers' Guild, represented by Baili, and the Familia, represented by Loki.
After a while, Loki brought the two of them to the scene.
Besides her standing in the middle, next to her is Orario's famous swordswoman Ais Wallenstein, and to her right is the current Familia leader, Finn-Timna.
"I'm sorry, President Baili, I've wasted some time here. I hope you all don't mind."
"It's alright. The deals made at the Divine Assembly are very important to you, and we can understand that."
"Haha, that's true. After all, we don't have the extensive network of the Adventurers' Guild. The only way to improve our Familia is through better equipment and rewards from deeper exploration."
After Loki took his seat, he introduced the people around him.
"I believe President Baili knows their identities, but... these ladies beside him are meeting for the first time."
Loki, who had a penchant for beautiful girls, sized up the group of people following Baili.
It can be said to encompass styles ranging from mature to cute.
Loki, the Light of "697," raised his right hand and placed it on Ais's shoulder.
"My Ais-chan is also one of the main forces in this game. Please give her your guidance."
"Ace Wallenstein, please advise me."
Ais remained expressionless and calmly stated her name.
Zhu Nai and the others also responded, giving brief self-introductions.
