"That despicable Apollo! He pestered me relentlessly in Heaven, and now he's kidnapped my adorable children! Unforgivable!"
After hearing the full story, Hestia kept banging on the table: "Let's go! To that guy's place!"
The group had just stood up, ready to go with Hestia to Apollo's headquarters, when a somewhat weak voice came from the inner room: "Wait… I'll also…"
"Fu Hua, your body cannot be overexerted."
Naaza said, supporting the weak Fu Hua from the side.
"Class Monitor!"
"Class Monitor, your injuries haven't healed yet."
God Miach also stood up and quickly walked over: "Your old chronic injuries will still need some time for recuperation and medicinal treatment to recover. This period is critical; you absolutely cannot move around carelessly."
Although Fu Hua's injuries usually seemed to have no effect, in reality, these injuries not only damaged her strength and caused memory loss, but even her original seemingly immortal power was completely destroyed by Edge of Taixuan.
And such injuries could not be healed by normal methods at all. After learning Hamon, this power only slightly reduced the pressure on Fu Hua's body.
Miach's planned treatment was divided into several stages: consolidating the foundation, removing abnormal energy from the body, unearthing hidden old injuries, and then repairing the injuries with Airmid Teasanare's magic.
And now, they had just reached the stage of meticulously removing the abnormal energy from Fu Hua's body and unearthing the hidden old injuries, and as a result of these old injuries, Fu Hua would become exceptionally weak.
After all, illness leaves like pulling silk, let alone Edge of Taixuan that had tormented her for a hundred years.
"Class Monitor, don't you worry! I alone can beat them to a pulp."
Kiana swung the greatsword wrapped in cloth on her back with force.
With a clang, the medicinal herbs hanging from the ceiling fell down.
"Idiot Kiana."
Watching Kiana, who looked cool when swinging her sword but was clumsy when cleaning up the mess, Takatsuki smiled and said to Fu Hua: "Fu Hua, you should just focus on recovering. It's just a small Familia; we can resolve it before your injuries heal."
"That's right! Fu Hua, you should rest well!" Hestia gave Fu Hua a thumbs-up: "When you come back, we'll be able to move into a new residence! Don't worry!"
"Since Takatsuki and Lady Hestia both say so."
Fu Hua showed a somewhat weak smile, leaning on Naaza.
At this moment, she could be said to be at her weakest in a hundred years; even walking these few steps was only by forcibly enduring.
After all, there was no Honkai Energy in this world, so she couldn't rely on absorbing Honkai Energy to sustain herself.
"Miach, I'll leave Fu Hua to you. Just wait for our good news!"
Naaza helped Fu Hua back into the room, and Hestia confidently said to Miach.
"Mhm, don't worry."
Watching Hestia lead the group grandly towards the Apollo Familia's headquarters, Miach showed a hint of worry.
"Can they really defeat the Apollo Familia?"
Naaza also walked out of the room at this moment, asking Miach in a low voice.
"They should be able to. Hestia has always been very lucky, and that child named Takatsuki, for the sake of his companions, went to the deep levels to gather the necessary medicinal ingredients and even earned hundreds of millions of Valis in one go. That's not something an ordinary adventurer can do, is it?"
Naaza nodded. Even Ottar couldn't say he could earn hundreds of millions in a single solo expedition, as the amount of spoils one person could carry was limited.
On the other side, it seemed the news of the War Game had already been spread by some busybody or god. Along the way, gods who knew Hestia kept greeting her, asking about the truthfulness of the matter, and after confirming it, they started following from a distance, seemingly intending to watch the show.
"Yo, Hestia."
A blonde male god wearing a hat blocked Hestia's path, and beside him was a green-haired woman wearing a cloak.
"Hermes, don't block the way. I still have to go settle accounts with that Apollo guy."
Hestia glanced at Hermes and directly walked around him, continuing forward.
"Hey, hey, wait a minute, Hestia, I just returned to Orario and heard you're going to have a War Game with Apollo, is that true?"
Hermes immediately followed Hestia, asking beside her.
"Isn't that obvious! That guy dared to kidnap my Familia's children! I'm definitely going to make him pay!"
Hestia answered angrily, but her pace didn't slow down at all. Hermes didn't mind continuing to follow and ask.
"I heard your Familia was only formed less than a month ago, are you really going to be okay with this?"
"Hmph! I believe in my children!"
Hestia didn't explain much and continued walking forward. Seeing that he couldn't get any more answers, Hermes then tried to strike up a conversation with Takatsuki and the others who were following behind.
Unfortunately, none of the girls paid him any mind, and Takatsuki directly declined: "Lord Hermes, Lady Hestia is still furious. Anything you say now is useless; it's better to see for yourself."
"Well, you're right."
Seeing that he couldn't get any more information, Hermes also joined the large crowd of people and gods following behind.
When everyone arrived at the Apollo Familia's base, they saw an unexpected group of people: the Loki Familia.
"Loki, do you really want to interfere?"
Apollo looked at Loki with an unpleasant expression, while Loki said carelessly: "Well, I'm just here to watch the shorty's show; I won't interfere in this matter."
"If you're watching, then watch from outside. What's the meaning of being in here?"
Loki grinned and didn't answer: "What's wrong, Apollo? It's not even dark yet, and you're in such a hurry to favor your children? Why the rush? How about we chat before the shorty arrives? I can even tell you some of the shorty's weaknesses."
"No need!"
Apollo looked angrily at the grinning Loki in front of him; how could he not know the other party's purpose?
After he kidnapped Bell, he discovered that this child! Was very much to his liking!
As the main god of a Familia, and an enthusiast with special preferences, Apollo really liked beautiful boys, so he naturally wanted to act on his impulses with this child.
But before he could make a move, Loki arrived with a group of Level 6 and Level 5 adventurers to visit.
Although he managed to block them outside the base, the other party didn't seem to mind, just dragging things out and preventing him from enjoying that delicious child.
And at this moment, Hestia had arrived.
"Apollo! Hand over Bell and Jerry!"
Hestia stood in front of Apollo with her arms crossed, pointing at his nose and shouting loudly.
Glaring at Loki, Apollo put on a false smile and faced Hestia: "Hestia! You've arrived, so have you accepted my terms?"
"A War Game, right! I agree! Now hand over my children!"
"Good! Splendid! Then the War Game! Begins!"
As Apollo's and Hestia's words fell, a bunch of gods emerged from various corners and cheered, and the gods who had followed Hestia here also cheered along.
For gods who had been bored for a long time, a War Game was the best entertainment.
