In the Palace of Athens.
Kaito and Aisha, arms linked, returned to this place and shared the good news with everyone.
However, people like Luo Hao were momentarily stunned and incredulous, especially those from the Magic Society, who almost collapsed to the ground.
As for what the believers of Zeus thought, Kaito didn't know.
Anyway, they didn't dare criticize Kaito or make a move against him.
"Kaito, this time's gains were really significant..."
In a private room, Kaito and Sephie sat sipping tea and chatting. During this time, Kaito was also replenishing magical power into the Holy Spear Rhongomyniad.
"Yeah, it's a pity I wanted to reach a level close to SSS-class in one go."
"But unfortunately, I can't kill gods like Odin, and the remaining gods... as you can see, the strong ones are hard to summon, and the weak ones are inconvenient to summon."
"Even if I summoned and killed them, it wouldn't increase my strength much."
It was indeed a regret.
He also wanted to be like Kratos, slaughtering the Greek pantheon in a great feat, but that too was impossible.
Just summoning them normally was difficult, and it would cost many high-quality Hime-Miko.
Well, over the next month, as long as he killed ten gods and completed the main mission, that would be enough.
Then he could obtain a permanent Travel Card, allowing him to come to this world anytime. As for those gods, sooner or later, he would kill them all.
Naturally, when Sephie and others needed to come, he could bring them along too.
This world... it's a great place to farm gods and gain Authorities!
Of course, the maximum limit might only be reaching the limit of SS-class, no higher.
"Kaito... is this for me?"
Sephie noticed the words "SSS-class strength".
This so-called strength level was a simple classification everyone had discussed casually in the chat group before.
For example, Sephie could be ranked B-class, while Mika, who could transform into a slime, could be ranked D or C-class, and so on.
As for Kaito, all the group members recognized him as SS-class, and his sense of security was ranked EX-class.
Hehehe, that was during the chat at night in Fuyuki City, after Kaito had finished playing the new Sword Art Online game.
"Yeah, it's all for you. If I don't reach SSS-class, how can I become the overlord of the universe~"
"I don't want to earn a reputation for only picking on the weak."
After all, in the past, he usually started by dealing with the weaker factions to deter others.
But if he reached SSS-class, or even surpassed someone like Gid, he could directly target and kill the strongest factions, deterring the entire universe, not just individuals.
"Hehehe... Kaito, don't put too much pressure on yourself... I can hold on for a while longer here."
At least one or two weeks, maybe a few months.
Her Royal Army wasn't just for show!
The royal family hadn't suffered losses just because Gid was gone!
But well...
Sephie was also very happy inside. Seeing Kaito work so hard to help her, who wouldn't be moved?
Except for certain people who treat others as backups.
"We'll see. If you really can't hold on, you must tell me immediately."
"Okay, I understand!"
Kaito looked at Sephie, confirmed that she wouldn't hide things from him, and then continued drinking tea and infusing magic power into Rhongomyniad.
Now he also looked forward to seeing how many points he could earn from each live stream during his godslayings, and what those ladies watching would think of him.
Maybe they were having a great time chatting while watching?
Especially those bold women like Shodai, Misuzu, and Sayuri...
He wondered what they would do when they met next time?
Closer to home, when he left the Campione! World and time resumed, what would they say to praise him when he entered the chat group?
Ah, as the true inheritor of such attention, even Kaito couldn't help but feel a bit nervous at this moment. If those ladies were too enthusiastic, what should he do then...
...
In the remaining time, Kaito, Sephie, Luo Hao, Aisha, Erica, Liliana, Lucretia, and Ena began to travel around the world.
The goal was still to continue slaying gods.
Unfortunately, after the previous incident of killing Zeus and preserving his abilities, Pandora had expended too much energy. So, Pandora informed Kaito in advance that he couldn't kill gods that way anymore; he could only perform normal godslayings.
Helpless, Kaito could only sadly gain their Authorities, along with their magical power and a boost to his own strength.
And so, a month almost passed...
Two days before the deadline, Kaito achieved the goal of ten godslayings. He completed the main mission and obtained a permanent Travel Card for the Campione! World!
He could also choose, based on his preference, whether to freeze the time in that world.
That is, after he left, the world's time would freeze, and when he returned, it would be one second after he left.
Of course, Kaito could also choose to let it develop slowly, using the card to freeze time upon returning, or not freeze it at all.
This card's rank reached SSS-class.
After all, it meant mastering a world, being able to traverse it infinitely, and slaying gods within it to gain strength, eventually reaching SSS-class—so this card reaching SSS-class was beyond doubt!
After forcibly making an agreement with Pandora, Kaito also chatted with Athena (Metis). She had been happy throughout, following Kaito on his travels and watching the spectacles during his godslayings.
On the final day, after settling matters there, Kaito temporarily left.
He didn't freeze the time, planning to return in three months to fight that King Who Manifests at the World's End, and then find a way to kill Odin and Tathagata.
Even if his strength reached SSS-class, since having more skills doesn't weigh one down, Kaito would still come back to claim their lives.
"I'm leaving now, Sephie."
"Okay."
After Sephie stored away the planet destroyer, Kaito departed under the gaze of everyone.
Among them, Luo Hao, Athena, and Aisha were the most reluctant. Unfortunately, Kaito had no way to take them with him yet, so he could only promise to meet again in three months.
"Sigh..."
Returning to the Einzbern Castle in Fuyuki City, the first person Kaito saw was Irisviel.
Since time was frozen, no matter when he left, it would be the next second upon his return.
"Darling, welcome back~"
"Mm, I'm home."
