Danmaku, my skills refresh weekly.

But what awaited Shire was Hill's jade-like finger reaching towards his ear.

"Ouch—, it hurts! Let go, let go! Sis… let go!"

"You've really grown wings, daring to infiltrate the Dark Faction? Who do you think you are? Or do you think the Dark Faction members are all harmless fools? With your pathetic skills, you're so bold, thinking you're a hero? Don't you even acknowledge me as your older sister? Don't you know I'll worry about you?"

The incessant nagging that came out of Hill's mouth completely destroyed her popular street girl image, replacing it with endless nagging.

Charles was sprayed with saliva for more than ten minutes before he was able to catch his breath.

"About Ryū..."

“…” Seele took a deep breath, put her hands on her hips and said, “You always get involved in such complicated things. It seems I have to keep a close eye on you. You’ll stay in the tavern for the next few days. The school district will be here soon, and I’ll get you an exchange student spot. Go to school and behave yourself!”

"Huh?" Charles was slightly surprised. He had originally planned to negotiate with Freya himself, or apply for the 'Divine Script Teacher' position himself, but he didn't expect Seele to arrange it this way.

"Then... about Gale... Sister, I'm in a real hurry about this."

"If you agree to my conditions, I will plead with Lady Freya on your behalf."

Ciel, who was already going to the school district, hesitated before nodding in agreement, looking just like a school-averse child: "Okay... then."

……

After making a deal with Seele, Ciel easily reached the top floor of the Tower of Babel. In a room filled with books, he saw Freya, the goddess of beauty who ruled the city.

"Step back." Freya stepped aside, leaving only Charles and her facing each other in the room.

"This should be our first time meeting." Freya licked her lips, crossed her legs, and smiled, creating an arc. "Should I call you Joker? Or Ciel-kun?"

"Whatever." Charles, as if returning home, casually picked up the fruit from the goddess's table and popped it into his mouth.

"Aren't you surprised?"

"Do you think I wouldn't notice someone as conspicuous as Allen walking around in front of me? Anya doesn't have that kind of intelligence," Charles said disdainfully.

"You really have no respect for God at all. Aren't you afraid I'll reveal your identity to the public?" Freya looked at Charles with interest. Although his soul radiance didn't flicker, Charles did indeed pique her curiosity.

If Freya hadn't taken a liking to Belle from the start, she really would have loved to taste the child.

However, the moment this idea was born, Seele's emotions quickly dispelled it.

"Doesn't your sister know? I thought that, given her relationship with you, she must have sensed something."

Freya was stunned for a moment, then closed her eyes, chuckled softly, shook her head, and sighed. When she opened her eyes again, there was a hint of doting in them: "I deliberately kept it a secret, hehe, thank me, I saved your boring role-playing game."

"Thank you. Here, have some mango." Ciel picked up a piece of mango with a bamboo skewer and offered it to Freya's lips.

"What a cheap thank you." Freya took a bite of fruit and puffed out her cheeks. "If you want to thank me, why don't you tell me about Bell?"

“Bell…” Charles shrugged. “Getting Bell will be a bit difficult for you. If you try to take him by force, you’ll have to overcome two insurmountable barriers: your witch mother and your Silence Aunt. Ota isn’t qualified yet. I don’t want my sister’s idol to be sent back to heaven the next day.”

"What if I insist on knowing?" Freya's eyes flashed with a red light.

As soon as he finished speaking, Charles's eyes suddenly went blank.

However, the next second, a layer of black mud emanated from his body and suddenly stuck to Freya's body.

From within the black mud, a dark-skinned, white-haired elven girl, her arm transformed into a sharp blade, pressed against Freya's throat: "Stop your actions, goddess!"

"If you insist on courting death, I'll send you on your way first."

God's Assassin...

Freya hadn't expected that Charles would harbor such a monster. Helpless, she raised her hands and sighed, "I understand, let me go."

The allure in Ciel's eyes faded, and after assessing the situation, he said calmly, "Come back, Rimuru."

"Is Rudra not enough? Now he's set his sights on me?" Freya asked meaningfully, her finger pressed against her lips.

"You started it, Lady Freya."

"You're not calling me 'sister' anymore? You must have something to tell me, right?" Freya sat back on the sofa, playing with her silver hair.

“I don’t have a sister who seduces her brother,” Charles retorted. He still felt a chill in his heart: the goddess of beauty was indeed the last deity he wanted to deal with.

After a brief probing, Freya realized how difficult Ciel was to deal with.

He thought to himself, "As expected of the Joker who manipulates the world, he can't be easily controlled."

then……

"You're here because of 'Swift Wind,' aren't you?"

Ciel nodded and explained his plan. Freya, who shared Seele's presence, naturally knew why Ciel had come, so there was no need to beat around the bush.

only……

"Why did you pin the blame on 'Swiftness,' and now you want to save her?"

After a moment's hesitation, Freya's eyes widened:

"So this is how you spared me and carved words on Anya's back?"

“No, Anya is easier…” Charles shrugged.

Freya was greatly surprised: "Where did you find this way of acquiring skills? Even if you reach the top of the city, I have never heard of it before."

Freya seemed to realize something, and stared at Ciel in astonishment:

"Who is the supreme deity behind you? This knowledge of grace... only that one..."

Charles hadn't said anything yet.

Freya turned around abruptly, and in the corner of the room, a gray-haired goddess slowly removed her mask, revealing her figure:

“You guessed right, the main god of ‘noname’ is none other than me…”

Freya gasped as she looked at the gray-haired goddess who had barged into the sacred realm of the goddess: "It really is you... Hera."

"Thank you for taking good care of Seele, Freya." Hera smiled.

Chapter 467 It's time to find a new big brother.

"Hera—?!"

Not only Freya, but even Ciel was very surprised.

Why is Hera here at this time? And why is she so brazenly appearing on what should be her 'highest throne'?

Hera looked at the stunned Charles and smiled gently: "Now you should be able to understand the reason, right?"

"What are you doing back here?" Freya stood up and stood in front of Hera, their eyes meeting. "Even now, are you still not giving up?"

Zeus and Hera's Familia were originally "driven out" of the city by Freya and Loki. Although everyone knew that they did it on purpose, Freya couldn't help but believe that they would come back to "avenge" them.

Regarding this…

"Just here to finish some unfinished business." Hera looked at Ciel: "Don't you agree?"

Charles pondered for a moment.

Logically, Hera shouldn't remember anything related to altering time, but it seems that's not the case.

Was it a divine exemption from the memory shielding of the Chaos Vortex, or was it prematurely revived?

“I didn’t ask you to come back.”

“You’re still as unlovable as ever. Do you think Grandma is biased?” Hera took two steps forward and ruffled Ciel’s gray hair.

"Who? Grandma?" Freya asked curiously.

“Of course it’s his grandmother.” Hera pointed at Charles.

"Why are you swearing?" Charles rolled his eyes.

Freya is feeling a little uncomfortable... You're Grandma Ciel, but who is this girl who pretends to be Seele all the time?

“I feel like you’re taking advantage of me.” Freya was taken aback, as if she had realized something.

"Did you deliberately leak that information?"

She suddenly remembered that several years ago, the Hera Familia had launched a large-scale search for a certain girl, which continued until they left the city.

After taking over Hera's position, Freya certainly didn't forget about it and wanted to steal Hera away. So she found Seele in the commoner's town and recruited her into her familia.

Looking back now, this might have been a backup plan that Hera 'deliberately' left behind.

"You used me!?"

"Aren't you using that child too? Consider it payment for adopting her."

"..." Freya remained silent.

Seele's transformation magic did indeed give her a great deal of freedom, and even indirectly influenced Freya's heart through emotions, shaping the 'girl's' personality.

Freya was worried that Hera would come back to snatch them away because of these connections. Without knowing the strength of the kin behind them, Freya dared not act rashly.

But what Ciel was concerned about was...

How did you find out about Sister Xi'er's background?

"Since you've been exposed, Seele's exposure is nothing more than a matter of finding clues with a little investigation," Hera said dismissively.

"I hope Zeus is alright..." Charles muttered.

"Having survived until now, you should be fine," Hera said with a smile.

Because of the relationship between Hill and the Shire, Hera caused a great deal of trouble for Zeus's Familia, and took this opportunity to cooperate with Zeus, betting everything on the future.

Meanwhile, although Zeus has forgotten the reason why Hera was chasing him, he is still running, which is also due to that event.

Freya couldn't understand the topic being discussed by Ciel and Hera.

In her own room, she felt like an outsider, so she crossed her arms and glared at Hera with displeasure.

"What exactly are you planning?"

Ciel and Hera knew each other and had a close relationship. This sudden information made Freya realize that the plot was not simple.

She realized that this seemed to be a terrible plan that had been going on for over a decade.

"It's just the second phase of that decisive battle ten years ago. A continuation of the millennium-long blood war... It's all for the end, and has nothing to do with Orario." Hera smiled dismissively.

"A young girl like you who only cares about the present and is obsessed with romance can't empathize with others. You might as well just let yourself be taken advantage of."

"You..." Freya was furious.
