I love time travel the most!

The street layout there is intricate and complex, making it quite difficult to find monsters.

but it does not matter.

Kobayashi has found him.

Without saying a word to Loki and Ais, he moved swiftly and ran off with Ryuzu into the distance. Ais, seeing this, followed without a second thought, completely ignoring Loki's calls. Left with no other choice, Loki had to follow as well.

Kobayashi jumped onto the roof and moved quickly above it, soon arriving above the roof where Bell was.

A gentle breeze brushed against her face, and the Sword Maiden Ais followed closely behind.

She was slightly taken aback when she saw Bell and Hestia below, but the monsters not far from them gave them no chance to catch their breath.

Level 2 Silverbacks are generally found in the middle levels.

Its strength was similar to that of the Minotaur.

Swordswoman Ais, gripping her rapier, wanted to go down to rescue her, but Kobayashi preemptively grabbed her sword-wielding hand and shook his head as she looked on in confusion.

Then, the two watched a battle where a weakling fought desperately against a powerful monster.

The classic underdog triumph is exhilarating.

Amidst the cheers and encouragement Bell received, Kobayashi and Ais turned and left.

This attack has now come to an end.

Although the streets were badly damaged, thankfully no one died. It seems that the goddess was quite restrained in the labyrinth city.

However, thanks to this incident, Kobayashi's skill level finally reached its maximum.

【Xiao Lin? ? ? 】

LV1

Strength: sss1999

Durability: sss1999

Dexterity: sss1999

Agile: sss1999

Magic: sss1999

Skill: [Otherworld Hero (SoChing_Hero)]

Magic: [Clumsy Imitation]

He achieved SSS-level proficiency in just half a month, so he must be quite talented.

There's no way to level up so quickly in Konosuba, so coming to Labyrinth City was definitely the right decision.

"and this."

Kobayashi took a magic stone out of his pocket.

Unlike ordinary magic stones, the one in his hand exuded an ominous aura. A dark green light pulsated within it, and staring at it for too long could even cause dizziness. Even with X-ray vision, one couldn't discern anything different about it.

This magic stone was obtained from the body of the giant flower-stem monster that almost swallowed Lefia.

Because it was such a unusual situation, and because of the urgency of the circumstances, Xiaolin did not ask for an answer or exchange the money.

He planned to ask the Loki Familia.

Of course, we'll have to wait a while.

Now he's only thinking about completing some great achievements so he can level up to LV2.

Unlike before when she was forced to go, this time Kobayashi went to the dungeon on her own initiative, and her mood was completely different.

After making some simple preparations, Liu Zi and I set off.

Dimensional Array activated!

With a flash of purple light, Kobayashi's figure disappeared from the hotel, but he did not appear on the familiar 17th floor. Instead, he appeared in a vast space surrounded by torches.

In the very center of this space, there is a seat on a series of steps.

An elderly man was sitting in the chair. He wasn't flustered by Kobayashi's sudden appearance; instead, he seemed to have anticipated it and said:

"You've arrived, outsider. Don't be nervous, this is the bottom of the Adventurers' Guild. And I am Uranus."

The one on the stage is none other than the God of the Sky!

Chapter 230 Do all your gods spend money like this?

Having received a favor and arrived at the best leveling spot, the Labyrinth City, all Kobayashi has to do is quietly level up and then amaze everyone!

This is how the story should have been told.

I never expected that I would be exposed after only half a month... no, I should say that it took half a month for me to be exposed.

The other party is, after all, a god. Although he only has one member of his own family, he still controls the entire Adventurers' Guild. It wouldn't be too difficult for him to investigate someone's information.

Therefore, Uranus is the neutral god.

Or rather, a god must be ostensibly neutral; otherwise, if his bias towards one side is too obvious, he would have been sued and overthrown by other clans long ago.

Ahem, that’s too far off topic.

Kobayashi bowed respectfully to the deity on the high seat, saying with utmost courtesy, "I am truly humbled to see your esteemed presence. Although your wisdom already knows my background, please allow me to give a brief self-introduction. It is a pleasure to meet you. My name is Kobayashi, and as you said, I am from another world. And she is my most trusted and reliable attendant, Ryuu."

As he spoke, Liu Zi also lifted the hem of her skirt and bowed to the god.

The master and servant were elegant, poised, and unassuming.

Seeing Kobayashi's poise and confidence, Uranus on the platform paused briefly before saying, "I was overthinking it. It seems you really aren't nervous."

"Because you meant no harm."

The reason for not being afraid is certainly not so weak, but rather that from the other person's perspective, there is indeed no reason for them to harm you, or if they wanted to harm you, they wouldn't have taken the initiative to meet you.

After all, he is the God of the Sky, and he has a hundred ways to make himself unable to stay in the Labyrinth City.

A faint, enigmatic smile appeared on Uranus's serious face as he said, "Although I've been monitoring this for the past two weeks and it's been confirmed, I still think my decision was right."

Ok? ? ?

Kobayashi was stunned.

Does the other person's statement imply that they were exposed half a month ago?

Wait, didn't he give himself away as soon as he arrived in the Labyrinth City?

His expression immediately turned somewhat unpleasant.

Knowing that the other party meant no harm is one thing, but not realizing that it was exposed half a month ago is another.

However, this also indirectly confirms that the other party indeed had no malicious intent.

Seeing his unusual expression, Uranus, to show his sincerity, took the initiative to explain: "When you came to register at the guild, I noticed something amiss—the [Blessing] you were granted was different from what I knew. Initially, after learning that you were concealing your identity from the chief god, I thought you were someone hiding in the darkness (the dark faction), but that divine aura was so pure that I dismissed that suspicion. However, among all the gods I know, there is no one who possesses such a pure aura."

He didn't finish speaking, but Kobayashi already understood.

It was Aqua's presence that gave her away.

...Well, he'd probably been tricked by Aqua too many times without even realizing it, so he no longer felt any anger whatsoever.

It's like knowing that a super weapon will self-destruct at some point, but still being unable to resist using it because it's so useful.

Even though he knew, he still wanted to say it.

—MD, Aqua!

However, we can't entirely blame her.

Uranus was one of the first few gods to develop the "Blessings," and any trickery he played would be exposed without a doubt, and it was only a matter of time before he discovered it.

It's already a great result that they weren't blamed.

Kobayashi bowed again apologetically and said, "I'm sorry for concealing the truth, but God Uranus should also know how much chaos it would cause in the Labyrinth City if the fact that I am from another world were exposed."

It's not a threat, but an explanation.

Those gods who rip out their own hearts to play with, cut off their heads to kick around like balls, cut themselves in half to be self-sufficient, and play all sorts of crazy games with their own minds, are truly capable of anything for amusement, which is why Kobayashi chose to keep it a secret.

But Uranus was different.

Although I don't know what the other party's purpose was in bringing me here, it certainly wasn't to study me in order to carry out other world conquest plans. Otherwise, they would have captured me long ago when they found out I was from another world.

Of course, this is something that has only just been confirmed.

"……you're right."

Uranus agreed with Kobayashi's explanation.

It was precisely because he understood how outrageous those guys were that Kobayashi's pure aura aroused his suspicion.

"So……"

Kobayashi took the initiative to speak, saying, "I don't know what the purpose of the High God Uranus bringing me here is, but if it is something I can do, I am willing to do my part."

It was very well said, but everyone present knew it was just empty rhetoric.

"I do need your help with something."

Uranus nodded.

But Kobayashi didn't get an explanation from him, and Uranus shouted something into the dark corner beside him.

"—Fels, you explain."

"Yes."

A slightly deep, husky voice reached his ears. Under Kobayashi's gaze, a suspicious figure, dressed entirely in black with patterned black gloves, of unknown gender and race, emerged from the shadows.

Illuminated by candlelight in the underground space, it had a mysterious feel that could frighten even a child.

Xiaolin knows her.

His title is "Sage," and his profession is magician. He is Fels, the only member of the Fellowship who wandered to the labyrinth city hundreds of years ago and was hired by Uranus.

Without any pleasantries, self-introductions, or even an opening statement, Fels, like a standard task assigner, began to recount the cause and course of the incident and the tasks that Kobayashi needed to perform.

"Please look at this before I explain."
