Danmaku, my skills refresh weekly.

At this moment, Lunova, who had landed nimbly, stood with her hands on her hips, looked at the ugly creature on the ground, and said calmly, "Not even as good as Chloe."

"What?!"

The two didn't end up arguing. The fallen Freni struggled to her feet. Tina's curse had only stolen her strength and speed; in return, her durability and magic power had been given to her as well.

"Didn't you try? You filthy bitch!" Frini opened her huge mouth and roared with anger and violence.

“Ee-Lunova, she’s yours now, meow.”

"Get lost—she's disgusting, you deal with her!"

The earth cracked open with a three-meter-long fissure, and the two dodged Frini's slash by turning away from each other.

"You all have to die!"

The war prostitutes on both sides raised their demonic swords, and lightning and flames swept across the street...

The ambush that seemed to secure victory crumbled in the next second.

Ten soldiers clad in black armor formed a wall, but the magic they cast on the obsidian-forged armor failed to cause the slightest ripple.

A black torrent sliced ​​through the battlefield.

At that moment, a blinding beam of light shone in the sky.

"Say it again?" Lunova rubbed her wrist and sneered.

This was his first chance to beat up a level 1 adventurer.

Seeing this, Frini felt a chill run down her spine. She wasn't ignorant; she was well aware of the secret faction's intelligence regarding the fairy soldiers.

The moment the second beam of light erupted, Freni's composure completely crumbled. She understood perfectly well what that beam of light represented, and she also understood the purpose of these people.

"Am I pretty?! Why are all the main forces on our side?!" She clutched her wounds, didn't even glance at the fighting prostitutes around her, dragged her giant axe, pushed aside her companions blocking her way, and turned to rush out of the pleasure street.

At the end of that street stood another figure covered in black armor, with a spear planted beside her and her orange tail swaying gently.

"Abandoning your companions is a heinous crime, meow! Die, meow!!"

The black-armored warrior, wielding a long spear, strode wildly, sparks flying from the ground as he leaped high into the air.

With the impact and inertia, the nimble spear plunged headfirst into Frini's battle axe, pushing her legs backward repeatedly!

Its massive body crushed countless bricks and stones on the ground before gradually coming to a stop.

"Meowaaaaaah!" A piercing cat's cry echoed, and the "Strange Sound Wave," which had been on standby, pulled the trigger. Red, heterochromatic magic spread through Frini's body, and the balance of power, which had been evenly matched, collapsed.

"Charge!" Anya stomped her foot on the ground, her spear pointing at Frini as she returned to the battlefield.

On either side stood Lunova and Chloe, sharpening their knives. They wore special earrings on their earlobes to avoid sonic attacks, thus exempting them from Anya's area-of-effect weakening.

"Hehe, this is my first time hunting a level 5."

"We've finally had our fill, meow~" The three of them rushed forward and began to ravage Frini, who had extremely high durability.

The second and third divine pillars rose.

As the red building in the center of Joy Street collapses and turns into a sea of ​​fire, and the divine pillar rises, the battle in Joy Street will come to an end.

……

Chapter 177 Giving Loki Some Trouble

Urban slums, third district.

This is the battlefield adjacent to the Pleasure Street (Fourth District).

[Lijie], who had disobeyed the goddess's order to "cage the city" and led the fighting prostitutes who followed her on a campaign, turned back in astonishment. She collapsed to the ground, powerless, staring in disbelief at the divine pillar that soared into the sky in the center of the pleasure district.

"Lady Ishtar, she's been returned?"

Chaos erodes and subverts order.

The cruel divine light pierced the sky and shone on the faces of the people, who looked as if it were the end of the world and had lost all life.

The voices of the messengers were in my ears:

"[Ballenus Familia] Chief God, return!"

"The entire Jeros Familia has been wiped out!!"

Relying on Amazon's instincts, Aisha forcefully swung her giant broadsword to block the attack from the Dark Faction, sending her flying back into the formation.

The surrounding area was filled with the desperate cries of adventurers.

"Return... to annihilation?"

"The secret faction has its sights set on those who have lost favor!"

“Aaaaaaaaaa—”

"It can't be stopped, it's completely unstoppable!"

He was surrounded by images of his comrades being torn apart.

The elite soldiers of the secret faction, wearing bone masks, seemed to have caught the scent of victory. Like hunting dogs, they swarmed in packs, relentlessly tearing at their weakened targets.

Pillars of light continued to shoot into the sky, and each return of a god was accompanied by the fall of countless adventurers.

Blood, corpses, despair—

A total of nine pillars of divine light disappeared. This means that nine members of the Familia on the battlefield will become sitting ducks.

Aisha struggled to wield her broadsword, fending off the madmen's attacks. Lines of blood bloomed around her, and her companions fell one by one beside her.

The [Hero] is nowhere to be found, and the [Fierce Warrior] is also nowhere to be seen. There is not a single Level 1 adventurer to be seen on the battlefield.

We're doomed!

Her vision gradually blurred; the loss of the favor did not last as long as she had imagined. As she lost consciousness, a flash of lightning disappeared.

The dazzling flashes of gunfire filled her vision.

Who is that?

Aisha slumped to the ground and shook her head.

When she cleared her vision, a red-haired, squinty-eyed goddess stood in front of her: "Oh? Are you alright, Miss whore?"

"God Loki?" Aisha looked past the figure of the god and focused her gaze on the battlefield ahead.

A golden-haired man with bloodshot eyes, Palum, wielding a long spear, instantly pierced through the enemy lines.

"Hey, how about joining our clan? It'll be troublesome without any favors, won't it?" Loki grinned mischievously.

In the midst of the chaos, no one noticed that this deity possessed no divinity whatsoever.

Aisha gritted her teeth and nodded.

In this urgent situation, she had to immediately restore Grace in order to stop the attack from the Dark Faction. She tore off her shirt to reveal her back.

"Come on! Hurry!"

“Here it comes.” Loki sliced ​​his finger with his broadsword, blood dripped down, and divine writing that no one could understand appeared behind Aisha.

A clown image depicting a black and white yin-yang face appears.

"It's a success." Loki's eyes narrowed even more.

Aisha clenched her fist, feeling the long-dormant power return. Grabbing her broadsword, she turned and rushed back to the battlefield.

The remaining survivors around them also shouted loudly for Loki: "God! Whoever you are, please bless us! Give us the strength to fight again!"

"Alright." Loki grinned as she approached each adventurer, repeating the same steps in turn. She even thoughtfully provided each person with a bottle of high-grade elixir.

"Lord Loki, please step back! The battlefield is too dangerous! Please seek refuge in a safe place!" Some adventurers tried to escort Loki away, but Loki refused.

"We need to go back to the command post with Finn. Everyone, please wait for orders. The rescue is coming soon."

With that, he met up with 'Finn' and rushed toward the alley leading to the Twilight Mansion.

Russian qing.

The fighting in the fourth district has temporarily subsided.

Raul, who was spreading intelligence everywhere, arrived in the Fourth District.

He asked the residents who had taken refuge along the way and learned that the regimental commander was in the vicinity.

"Excuse me, have you seen Lord Finn?" Raul asked, pulling aside an adventurer leaning against the wall.

The adventurer pointed to the alleyway where the man and the god had disappeared: "They just went in a short while ago. Traveling with Loki isn't fast; if we hurry, we can still catch up!"

"Thank you!" Raul said with delight.

Halfway through the war, Finn abruptly left command and disappeared. Raul, responsible for relaying battle information and orders, was forced to venture deep into the battlefield to search for Finn.

Fortunately, he didn't have to search for long before he finally found the commander's whereabouts.

Not long after he started walking down the deserted alley, he saw two familiar figures standing opposite each other not far ahead.

“The group…” Raul was about to raise his hand, but he suddenly saw Loki cover his mouth.

Immediately afterwards...

"Pfft—hahahahaha. Interesting, so interesting!" Loki laughed heartily, clutching his stomach. "Ah, sending all those guys I didn't like back to Heaven at once. Ah, I really have to thank that Erebus guy!"

Raul: "?!"

His breathing stopped, and he turned and leaned against the wall to hide his figure.

Finn squinted as well: "The key is the demise of the Ishtar Familia. That way, no one can stop us from becoming the strongest in the city."

Loki gave a thumbs up: "Wow, putting everything else aside, we've also taken the opportunity to gather some outstanding beauties. The time when we can dominate the world isn't far off!"

"!!!"

dong dong dong.

Raul felt his heart pounding in his chest. Loki? The mastermind behind all this was Loki?! And even the captain was involved!

How can this be?

Raul's mind went blank. He felt he shouldn't be here; he should stay obediently in his clan and be a mortal who knew nothing.
