Facing so many Amazons, Barbara just casually released two heavy attacks, knocked a few Amazons to the ground, and was then immediately captured.
After all, Barbara's own strength wasn't very high; she spent more time assisting Hyacine and Little Ika, increasing the healing amount recorded by Little Ika, so her own combat power actually wasn't that high.
As a Vision holder and a healer-type character, Barbara could at most deal with the likes of Treasure Hoarders. Facing more powerful monsters, she didn't have the strength to fight like Hyacine.
Just like facing the 37th Floor Master, Udaios, a few days ago, all Barbara could do was increase her healing output; those Hydro elemental heavy hits landing on the Floor Master were completely painless and ineffective.
Even later, resolving the red-haired Monster Person Ryu and the Fallen Spirit relied entirely on Hyacine alone.
At the end of the day, Barbara was still too weak!
Unless there was something that could enhance Barbara's abilities, allowing her to break free from the original constraints of her roleplay and possess brand-new power...
Then there was only one answer left, and that was the "Enhancement Card" rewarded by the system when the roleplay in the previous world was completed.
Although this card did not explicitly state which aspect of the character it would enhance, it would definitely be able to elevate Barbara to a level that did not belong to her!
"Should I use it or not?"
This was the question Barbara was currently most concerned about; she could completely transmit the news of her being captured by an Amazon through her other half, Hyacine, thereby attracting the attention of the entire Loki Familia and Ouranos, but if she did that, she would have no way to gain experience.
That's right, in Barbara's eyes, the Pleasure Quarter was a massive experience pack!
There were countless Adventurers here; although most were Level 1, there were also some entities with decent strength.
Most importantly, most of them were not good people!
The Pleasure Quarter dared to capture even her, someone who held the name of Deliverer, let alone those innocent young girls.
Therefore, as long as the deity behind the scenes of the Pleasure Quarter was erased from the world, the Pleasure Quarter would definitely change drastically, and the Guild would certainly not let go of this fat piece of meat and would definitely get involved when the time came.
But deities were not so easy to deal with!
Following a burst of golden light, Barbara looked at the Enhancement Card in her hand, her eyes inevitably becoming determined.
Even if not for herself, just for those innocent girls who had been captured, Barbara had to do this!
"I hope the tragedy of the Pleasure Quarter will not happen in the future..."
As the sounds from the outside became quieter and quieter, the shaking of the sack grew larger, and combined with the voices of some people talking outside, Barbara could confirm that she should be arriving at her destination soon...
"Lord Ishtar, the person has been brought over."
The sack was just casually thrown onto the ground, and the voices of those Amazons came from all around, making Barbara tighten her grip on the Enhancement Card in her hand.
It was just as she had thought; the mastermind was the goddess Ishtar of the Pleasure Quarter!
"Very good, since the item has been brought, you may leave."
"Yes."
The goddess's tone seemed to reveal a hint of joy, clearly feeling excited that her subordinates had captured the Deliverer.
The Amazons left, and the footsteps of the goddess Ishtar came to Barbara's side, easily untying the rope binding the sack, allowing the surrounding firelight to shine on Barbara's face.
"So this is the 'Deliverer'? It doesn't seem like much of a big deal..."
Ishtar did not show any surprise the moment she saw Barbara; although the other party's appearance was decent, she could not compare to the top tier among humans, and her figure was not particularly outstanding either...
However, just after Ishtar felt a hint of disappointment, her gaze pierced through Barbara's determined face and saw something that existed deep within the girl's heart...
Everything changed here.
"A Child of God? It's actually a Child of God?"
Such an obvious thing—any deity capable of seeing through hearts would find it unbelievable.
Because this thing was simply too rare!
"No wonder Ouranos would make you a Deliverer, and the actions on Loki's side... everything makes sense now!"
"Wait!"
"If one Deliverer is a Child of God, then is the other Deliverer also a Child of God?"
Seeming to have anticipated some possibility, Ishtar's eyes instantly became crazed.
"Tell me! Is the other Deliverer also a Child of God like you?"
"..."
Regarding the crazed goddess before her, Barbara had no intention of answering her words at all, but instead looked at the other party with a dangerous gaze, her eyes filled with danger.
Looking at Barbara's expression, it seemed to be saying: If you dare to make any other moves, I won't be polite!
However, in the eyes of the goddess Ishtar, this expression of Barbara's was completely useless.
"Looking at your expression, I think I know... I didn't expect two Children of God to be born at once; this world is truly wonderful!"
"As for you..."
"Do you know what it means to show this expression in front of me?"
Ishtar proudly raised her head, with a condescending attitude; after all, in the Pleasure Quarter, she was the supreme goddess.
And in the future, Ishtar would become the supreme goddess of all of Orario, and even the entire world!
"But I'll give you a chance; as long as you are willing to submit to me, leave the Loki Familia, and join my command, I can agree to many conditions. How about it? Little Deliverer?"
The Deliverer was a trump card!
As long as they didn't die, they would definitely be a top-tier Adventurer in the future!
Even the former Zeus Familia and Hera Familia could not possibly produce an Adventurer capable of rivaling a Deliverer!
If she had Barbara, the Ištar Familia would definitely be able to reach the pinnacle of the world!
So for a moment, Ishtar was indeed moved by a desire to recruit talent; as long as the other party was willing to leave Loki and join the Pleasure Quarter, Ishtar wouldn't mind granting the other party the second-highest authority in the Pleasure Quarter.
As for who held the highest authority?
Of course, it was Ishtar herself!
"I refuse!"
Facing Ishtar's recruitment, Barbara did not hesitate at all and directly rejected the other party's invitation.
"Although the Pleasure Quarter is a filthy place, there is no other deity who brings it such notoriety besides you!"
"You are the source of the evil here; how could I possibly join you?"
Facing Barbara's threat, Ishtar didn't take it seriously at all; even if the other party was a Child of God, so what?
How could she be compared to a true deity?
"Since that's the case, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Ishtar came before Barbara just like that, looking directly into her eyes, and a glimmer of light slowly emerged from Ishtar's pupils...
It was Charm!
As long as it was a goddess related to beauty, they would more or less possess the ability of Charm; for example, the goddess of the Freya Familia, one of the two pillars of Orario, also possessed Charm.
And what Ishtar was doing now was using Charm to directly control the other party's heart!
Even if you are unwilling, so what?
What I want is not your consciousness, but your status!
As long as the Deliverer joined the Ištar Familia, the entire Pleasure Quarter could take this opportunity to soar!
At that time, wouldn't punching Loki and kicking Freya be a matter of minutes?
It was precisely at this moment that the "Enhancement Card" in Barbara's hand disappeared.
The girl looked straight at the goddess before her, and intense killing intent slowly drifted all around...
