Danmaku, my skills refresh weekly.

Charles and Alfia: "..."

Damn it, Fels, hurry up and optimize the operating system!

The two followed Metluth to the screen, where, as expected, two executives of the Hera Familia appeared. Their clothing was similar to what Alfia had worn before, but their professional orientations differed.

Ciel stared blankly at the two Hera Familia officers.

"What's wrong?"

"It's nothing. This cadre named Kuku looks somewhat familiar."

"You saw it? Weren't you only three years old then?"

"Maybe. The Hera Familia is so famous, I might have seen them before." Ciel wasn't sure either; his memories before the Great Conflict weren't very clear, let alone those before he was three years old.

Ciel had Alfia put on a headset and try to communicate with the two officers. As she placed her hand on the crystal and tried to input a dialogue command, she suddenly saw Metluja on the screen throw a punch.

"Hey, you finally responded to me. Do you still recognize me?" Kuku dodged the girl's fist and frowned as she stared at her.

"Kuku..."

"Don't call me Kuku!"

"Don't interrupt." Achu Ben pushed Kuku aside and asked, "From the moment we entered this secret realm, you've been very curious, Metlujah. What happened?"

Are you still Metluja?

The two guards who had been observing Metlucia's changes first saw her run into a wall, then, as if nothing had happened, pour a panacea over her, and without even taking off her clothes, go to the hot spring to soak until she passed out. Afterwards, she was inexplicably waving her staff and experimenting with magic everywhere.

To prevent Metluja from truly going insane, the two decided to intervene forcefully.

however……

“I am Alfia.”

Upon seeing Metluth, she uttered a name that shocked the two of them without any expression.

"I can't explain the specific reasons right now; I'll report to Hera later. Please cooperate with me now."

Chapter 456 Piles of Rotting Flesh, Three-Month Upgrade Plan

"Alfia?" The two women exchanged a glance, their eyes flashing with the thought that 'this child is really out of her mind'.

But soon, he was impressed by the magic and abilities that Metluja had used before.

Maybe it really is Alfia?

"Do you have proof?" Kuku asked, feeling like he was going a little crazy.

but……

"Four years ago, Kuku, you and Haojie were lost in the 'Netherworld Death Zone' on the 70th floor for several days. After you came out, we talked privately and all said that you two would end up together..."

"Ben. When you fought Hydra before, you were almost bitten in half, and Chardo saved you in the end, right? There was even discussion in private that you and Chardo would end up together."

Alfia unexpectedly revealed a lot of details about the "Women's Tea Party" that only members of the Hera Familia would know.

"Gulp... How could that be! They are heroes! Moreover, they are members of Zeus's kin! They can't possibly be together!" Kuku's face turned red, and a trace of reluctance flashed in his eyes.

Aqiu looked utterly astonished: "Alfia even told you that? Hahaha, that was just something we brag about when we were bored. How could you take it seriously?"

She scratched her head and slapped Kuku on the back: "So what if they're Zeus's Familia? Even though that stinky baboon god's Familia are all like that, they're the only ones worthy of us. Other men, once they get to bed, they can't withstand our ravaging!"

"They're too much of a womanizer," Kuku muttered weakly.

Through this simple collusion, the two women at least knew that the person in front of them who knew their 'women's secrets' was none other than 'one of their own'.

"What did you say you wanted me to help you with?" the two brought the question back to the main point.

"I'm going to hunt Goliath. Please look after me, deliver some supplies, and clear out any approaching adventurers. It might take a while," Alfia replied.

"Goliath? You alone?" The two women were stunned for a moment, then scratched their heads. "So what's going on? You could have killed that thing instantly with your magic, right?"

"This is Metlujah's body, and her ability level is only lv1. Anyway, please cooperate with me."

The two women exchanged glances. Although they didn't know the reason, with two first-level adventurers protecting them, Goliath was nothing...

however……

Two days later.

Boom boom boom boom——

In a secluded passage, one kilometer away from the Wall of Sighs.

Metlujah stood there, her feet resting on a gray magic circle. One by one, precise gospels flew across the rock walls of several labyrinths and landed on the bewildered Goliath.

To ensure Goliath's sustainable development, Alfia reduced the damage of each Gospel, favoring a sonic pattern that inflicts "abnormal" effects on monsters.

In order to teach the puppet how to use the "Player" ability properly and cause Goliath to suffer physical impairment, Alfia also specially trained the puppet's consciousness and taught it command macros.

And so, every five seconds, Goliath had to take the gospel, which caused him to feel dizzy and paralyzed on one side of his body, and this continued for two whole days.

During this time, Aben was responsible for clearing away passing adventurers, while Kuku was responsible for delivering food and guarding.

Metlujah stopped to rest and recover when her body could no longer withstand the negative effects of the [Calamity Price]. After that, she repeated the process for two more days.

After a full 48 hours, Goliath finally succumbed to the strain, bleeding from all five orifices, and died suddenly with a thud.

According to Ciel's theory, high-level monsters are experience amplifiers. Whether one can gain a large amount of ability points depends on one's own 'training' in battle. The continuous consumption of magic power and the tens of millions of times the trigger is pulled can yield a very high base experience points. In addition, with the high experience multiplier of Goliath level four, Metlujah gained a considerable amount of experience points in just three days.

After returning to Earth and resting for two days, Ciel sent Metluth back in time to personally update Hera's abilities and explain the situation.

Another day later, Metluth, who had been swapped with "Your Name" once again, handed in her report card.

梅特露亚：lv1：【力量】I70／【耐久】H151／【灵巧】F352／【敏捷】I51／【魔力】D575

……

"In just three days, she's trained her magic to D-rank. Hmph, no wonder she's a guy with two limit-breaking abilities." Charles commented with satisfaction, "She's also enjoying the benefits of being an eighth-rank newbie. After all, she doesn't need to pretend to be a newbie anymore; Metluja is a true newbie now."

Metlujah's growth is slower than Bell's, since it's not a proper precocious ability, but rather a numerical value forcibly increased by consuming hundreds of times more magic power than others.

Simply put, Metluja released the amount of magic that other adventurers could not possibly use up in three hundred days. She also killed hundreds of times more high-level monsters.

"Treat magic like a basic attack, that's how it is."

Strength and agility stats are what a normal adventurer should gain from soloing Goliath.

"The durability is still too slow. Is it because I haven't beaten it enough?" Alfia wondered, wondering if she should let Metluja take a nap in the goblin pile.

"Stop having that dangerous idea," Charles advised. "Afterwards, I'll try to draw some skills that increase durability and attach them to the puppet to speed up the process. As for other attributes, they're not really necessary."

Ciel's plan for Metluja was to level up as quickly as possible, then join the Hera Familia's expedition team to forcibly gain high-level experience in order to improve the level of her 'weapon'.

At least before level 3, there is no need to consider the issue of unbalanced ability stats.

"Next, we'll switch to the 'Two-Headed Dragon.' With such a long range, we won't have to worry about danger. The Two-Headed Dragon also has magic immunity, so we can unleash our full damage potential. The initial plan is to level it up to lv3 within a month, lv4 within two months, and then participate in the Behemoth battle to reach lv5."

Charles laid out the plan: "What's limiting Metluja's development right now is her stamina and basic physical attributes. Once she levels up, she'll have similar physical abilities to what you had back then, and she'll be able to kill Vanguards with a hand chop, just like you."

Alfia nodded: "I will communicate with Hera and ask her to send people to protect Metlujah."

After finalizing the basic plan, Xia Er began randomly selecting skills.

Three months later, he had accumulated 13 more refreshes.

After using it nine times, Sharl acquired two suitable skills: [Rotten Flesh Accumulation] and [Crimson Pact].

[Accumulated putrefied flesh]

• Inheritance of skills and techniques.

• When a nearby 'Blessed' unit dies, gain a small amount of Strength or Durability.

• The stronger the unit that dies, the more ability points you gain.

Crimson Pact

• Durability and mana receive a huge boost.

• The higher the magic power, the greater the durability bonus;

• The higher the durability, the greater the magic power modifier;

• These effects do not stack.

-

The former is a Dota hero, Pudge's passive ability. Because it requires killing a lot of humans, Sharl didn't experience it for himself yet, but instead transferred it to the puppet through the food chain.

The latter is the passive ability of Vladimir in League of Legends. It suits Metcaldo's current state quite well, but it's a bit of a shame that it can't be permanently attached to her.

"I remember I still have a 'Vampire' hero panel... I might consider using that to cover up Metlucia's negative skills later."

After the exchange was completed, Metlujah also sent back a message from Hera:

"I have already informed Lady Hera of the situation here. My sister will be able to speak with Lady Hera at noon today."

Chapter 457 Meeting Hera.

Inside a cathedral decorated with carvings of pomegranates, peacocks, and crows.

Metluth stepped across the carpet, looked up, and gazed at the goddess Hera seated on the throne.

"What should I call you, person of the future?"

"Joker or Jester, whichever you prefer, Lady Hera."

"A pseudonym? It seems you know a lot about the Chaos Vortex?"

"After all, this isn't the first time we've encountered this. People from the future have also appeared in our time."

A brief conversation gave Ciel and Hera a basic understanding of each other.

"What is your purpose?" Hera rose from her throne, holding the scepter adorned with a cuckoo, and descended the stairs. "I don't believe you're only here to save Metlujah."

“Even if you don’t believe me, you should believe Alphia.” Charles looked directly at the arrogant goddess: “Besides, gods should be able to distinguish lies.”

"Oh?" Hera looked down at Ciel. "So, what is your relationship with Alfia?"

Charles smiled: "Just another fool struggling against the end."

“How interesting. I know you’re lying, but I can’t see through it, like a chaotic vortex that even the gods cannot touch.” Hera circled around the Charles once, then stood still before him again.
