Chapter 368: Strolling Through Orario, Meeting the L*li Goddess "Hestia"
.....
"How was your harvest today?"
"Not bad."
"Sigh, I wonder when I can break through to Level 2."
"For Level 2 adventurers, we probably still have to wait a while. After all, our feats aren't enough."
"Feats are truly hard to get. Since we aren't exactly the talented type, it's probably going to take a lot of time."
"Boss, how much for this melon?"
"Are you going to join a Familia?"
"Of course it's the Loki Familia!"
"..."
Countless people were chatting within the city, giving it a lively, bustling atmosphere.
Tap, tap, tap~~
Right at that moment, a set of footsteps echoed out. The surrounding people subconsciously looked over, and once they did, they couldn't turn their eyes away.
They saw three humans walking down the street with faint smiles, dressed in clothes completely different from the fashion of Orario. It was one man and two women.
The man had a shock of white hair and blue eyes, with golden six-pointed star patterns shimmering inside his pupils. As for the two women beside him, the one who looked like a mature older sister radiated a thick, intense fighting spirit, making her look incredibly dangerous. On the other hand, the younger girl was completely adorable, giving off a cute, somewhat dazed vibe.
Of course, their looks were only secondary. The real point was the aura radiating from the trio! It was a presence that the locals had only ever felt from gods. From the looks of it, these three should all be gods!
"Are those gods?"
"I've never seen those gods before. Their clothes are pretty strange, too."
"Could they be gods who just descended to the lower world? If that's the case, we probably shouldn't join their Familia. Fresh gods usually don't have any members under them."
The pedestrians watched for a moment and then withdrew their gazes. No one wanted to join such a strange group. After all, they looked exactly like newly descended gods with zero foundation, which wasn't suitable for a novice adventurer's growth.
"Seito, aren't there way too many gods on this planet?!" Kirukiru Amou suddenly gasped. She had just briefly scanned the state of the planet and found that the number of divine entities gathered here was staggering! Even Maple beside her felt the same way.
"You should actually be familiar with the names of the gods here," Seito smiled and explained. "The supreme rulers holding Main God Authorities in the Western Region are the Twelve Olympians of Greek mythology. They split their Main God Authority into twelve shares, with Zeus leading them."
"However, this faction isn't just the Greek Mythos. It's called the Western Mythos Faction because the gods from Norse mythology are also mixed into it."
Hearing Seito's words, the two girls were thoroughly amazed. They didn't expect such a divine faction to exist—a unique system that merged all Western myths together!
However...
"Now this is getting interesting. I wonder where Athena is," Kirukiru Amou grinned widely.
Athena, the Goddess of War—one of the Twelve Olympians! The primary reason Kirukiru was curious about Athena was because of her Divine Spark. Since they were both goddesses of war, she wanted to see who was truly stronger.
"You'll get your chance," Seito smiled smoothly.
Testing who was the superior fighter was incredibly simple: all it required was to trigger a War of Gods! Seito was absolutely going to launch a war against this Western Mythos Faction, but not right now. He would wait until he reached the peak of the God-King Realm and all his core Executives became God-Kings before he officially declared war on them.
Receiving his promise, Kirukiru Amou fell into an exceptionally good mood, and her footsteps became much lighter. The trio continued their casual stroll, taking in the urban scenery of Orario.
"Hold on!"
Suddenly, Seito seemed to notice something and halted his steps. Hearing him, Kirukiru and Maple stopped at the same time.
"Seito-kun, what's wrong?" Maple tilted her head, turning to look at him.
"We ran into an acquaintance," Seito answered with a smile, his eyes fixed ahead.
Right in front of him, a L*li goddess was walking down the street with a dejected expression. Her head was slumped, looking as if she had just experienced something incredibly unfortunate.
This goddess was none other than Hestia!
Thinking about why she would be so depressed, it was undoubtedly because no one was willing to join her Familia. Seito stepped forward and walked toward her, with Kirukiru and Maple following closely behind.
Sensing a presence, Hestia raised her head to look at them.
"You're... Seito?!" Hestia froze for a second before crying out in shock, "What are you doing here?!"
"Just came to take a look," Seito walked up to her and smiled faintly. "It looks like your plan to build a Familia isn't going very smoothly."
"You're seeing me at my worst," Hestia's face turned a bit bitter. "I didn't expect recruiting members to be this hard, either."
"The current adventurers don't want to join a Familia with zero foundation. I guess I can only take it slow."
In the original story, Hestia had spent a long time in the lower world before finally welcoming her very first adventurer, the main protagonist of DanMachi, Bell Cranel. Therefore, the fact that she couldn't recruit anyone right now was completely normal in Seito's eyes.
"By the way, how did you guys get here?!
Didn't Zeus notice you? And how did you even find this planet?!"
Hestia snapped out of her daze and rapidly bombarded Seito with questions. The Danmachi world wasn't just some ordinary world; it was the absolute foundation of their Western Mythos Faction. A cautious guy like Zeus would normally hide the planet perfectly to ensure its coordinates were never exposed! Yet Seito and his companions had arrived without any guidance from the local gods. This deeply shocked Hestia.
Furthermore... now that they were here, Zeus hadn't even stepped in to stop them! Was it because he chose not to, or because he simply hadn't detected them at all? This realization made Hestia even more stunned.
"We just found it quite easily," Seito chuckled.
Locating this planet might be impossible for other gods, but for Seito, who possessed spatial perception, it was a walk in the park. Because the flow of space here was uniquely different from the surrounding void, he had pinpointed the exact location of the Danmachi world with a single glance!
