I love time travel the most!

Kobayashi waved his hand, indicating that it was nothing.

It's like when elementary school students go on a field trip; there are always a few who get incredibly excited. He's seen this kind of scene before and isn't surprised anymore.

"It's so good that you understand."

Finn, the hero, sighed helplessly.

God knows how much he worried about these problem children. Considering the time when the three of them were also at odds, it's even more heartbreaking.

A large number of adventurers gathered outside the Twilight Mansion.

Even an idiot would understand what they're going to do.

The clown banner, so infamous it would make even children afraid to cry, was raised. Members of the city's largest faction rubbed their hands together in anticipation. Under the expectant and tense gazes of everyone, Finn, the leader of the Loki Familia, loudly issued his command:

"set off!"

Immediately afterwards, a large group of people set off in the direction of the Tower of Babel.

It must be said that the Loki Familia is indeed very eye-catching.

People kept casting glances at him from both sides of the street. If it were that cowardly rabbit, those eager gazes, like ocean waves, would probably scare him into running away in a panic, burying himself in the ground and sticking out his round butt.

Thinking about this, I couldn't help but laugh out loud.

The hero Finn asked in confusion, "What's wrong, Kobayashi?"

"No, it's just that I feel like being a member of the elite family is like being a celebrity. Being watched by so many people always makes me feel a lot of pressure."

"Haha, well, there's no other way. This is the price to make the clan's reputation spread far and wide. Kobayashi has to adapt as soon as possible."

"I don't want it."

Kobayashi shrugged and decisively refused.

Expeditions of large clans are not as easy as one might imagine.

Just like a huge machine, for it to function properly, every part must start turning and there can be no mistakes.

Support group, defense group, garrison group, vanguard group, combat group.

And the command group.

"Kobayashi, I heard from Riveria and Ais that your eyes are special?"

"Special? You could say that. What's wrong, Commander Finn?"

"In this dangerous underground city, can I entrust it to your eyes for vigilance?"

"Of course! That's the reason I exist."

Xiaolin did not refuse.

As a Level 2 member participating in a large-scale clan expedition, one's combat strength is obviously inferior to that of a combat group composed of Level 5 and Level 6 members. To make a name for oneself and play a role, one must make good use of one's only advantage, which is more prominent than others: [eyes].

"Well then, let me explain the general arrangements."

"Thank you for your help, Commander Finn."

Loki's Familia continued with their usual expeditions, not disrupting their pace simply because outsiders had joined them.

Since the supporters are only a small number, it is only right that Kobayashi and others should cooperate with them.

First, they split into two groups. One group, consisting of Finn, Riveria, Grace, Ais, Bert, Tione, and Tiona, was the vanguard, clearing out the monsters on the path to the 18th floor beforehand. Then they joined the main force there and went straight down to the 59th floor.

"How are things? Are you feeling any pressure?"

"No, not at all."

The upper levels no longer pose a threat to him; he could easily reach the safe zone on his own.

For Kobayashi, the difficult part was at the lower levels.

However, with the protection of Loki's Familia members, danger will be even less likely.

Xiaolin has a clear understanding of her own position.

After that, he was assigned to the first group.

In order to quickly clear out the monsters along the way, the existence of [Eyes] is necessary.

"That being said, if you need treatment, please be sure to come to me. I will do my best to help."

"That's a real help."

Finn the Brave spoke from the heart.

Riveria and Grace nodded in agreement.

The reason they agreed to let Kobayashi, whom the Sky God had sent to monitor them, participate in the clan's expedition was largely because of his outstanding healing abilities, which might even be better than those of the "Battlefield Saintess" Amid.

Potions always run out, but healing magic can be reused indefinitely.

This is quite important for the expedition.

------

Adventurers' Guild Underground Altar.

The torch flames burst open with a crisp crackling sound.

In the dark space where the floor was covered with huge stone slabs, four torches illuminated the ancient temple altar in the center.

"The expedition has begun."

The solemn voice of the Sky God echoed, his azure eyes fixed on the sky, as if looking through the floor at the vast group of adventurers.

At that moment, another person's voice rang out from the altar.

"They really are going to make a move."

In a corner of the stone hall, Fels emerged from the accumulated darkness.

The Sky God didn't even glance at Fels, who had emerged from the shadows, and simply responded with his voice, "Yes, Loki also wants to obtain information about the series of disturbances."

"Do you believe that the key to the event truly lies deep within the dungeon... on the 59th floor, Uranus?"

"There is no concrete evidence, but I can say for sure."

"Is it because of divine intuition?"

Fels always held a mixture of hatred and respect for the gods, for he understood their power better than anyone else.

"Is that why you arranged for the [eyes] in advance?"

"Exactly."

They're talking about Kobayashi.

Because of suspicion towards Loki, Kobayashi was deliberately planted there, but it was still a little inappropriate to expose his eyes in the open.

but it does not matter.

To prevent any accidents, or perhaps for verification, Fels had already planted another eye.

"By the way, you failed, Hermes."

The god of the sky withdrew his gaze and looked towards another dark place.

As he spoke, a man dressed plainly but with an exceptionally refined air stepped out of the darkness. He adjusted the brim of his featherless hat and said, "There's nothing I can do. I've tried my best, but I didn't expect to be rejected."

Hermes looked utterly devastated.

He really likes Kobayashi.

At first, Uranus, the god of the sky, highly recommended Kobayashi, but he refused because you can't just tell me to take him in; you have to try no matter what.

After trying it, he genuinely hoped that Kobayashi could join the clan.

However, he overlooked Kobayashi's thoughts and did not expect to be decisively rejected, and the reason for the rejection was so hurtful.

"However, I have already taken care of what you asked me to do."

"That bottle of medicine?"

“That’s right. I gave him that potion specifically to prevent any accidents from happening to him. And there was also my feather.”

"feather……"

Under the torchlight, Uranus, the god of the sky, noticed that the feather on Hermes' hat brim had disappeared.

"Did you even give him the feathers?"

"Hahaha, it wasn't given, it was stolen, right in front of me. So, that was a reward! A reward for having my feather snatched right in front of me, the god of thieves!"

Despite saying this, Hermes' tone was so cheerful that he no longer concealed his admiration for Kobayashi.

He's the god of messengers!

Since he is a messenger god, it is only natural that the feathers representing his divine status are special.

Ignoring Hermes, who was going mad below the altar, the sky god raised his head and turned his azure eyes toward the top of his head, which was blocked by darkness.

He was deep in thought.

Loki's expedition will bring unprecedented calamity, or perhaps an unprecedentedly fierce light will emerge from the calamity.

Which side will it be?

The Loki Familia's residence, at the top of the central tower of the Twilight Mansion.

After watching Finn and his group leave from headquarters, Loki climbed onto the roof and stared intently at the city center where shouts were deafening.

Please come back safely, everyone.

The goddess offered a sincere prayer.

On the top floor of the white-walled tower, the goddess smiled knowingly.

She gazed at the tall, upright figure in front of the crowd.

Come on, let your glorious deeds unfold and your brilliance shine.

Under the watchful eyes of the gods.

The dungeon is about to embark on another adventure.
