Danmaku, my skills refresh weekly.

"The money stored at the guild..." Freya pondered for a moment, "You probably don't just want 'deposits' as simply as that, do you?"

"Of course it's not that kind of boring stuff."

After the destruction of Zeus and Hera's Familia, the guild was left with a large amount of money, as well as many precious equipment and items. For example, the "Shield of Aquis" made by Asphie was a replica of that "divine artifact".

Such as anti-poison gear from defeating Behemoth, drops from Leviathan, and ultra-rare drops brought out from the deepest part of the dungeon, etc...

The important thing is...

“The school district.” Hera revealed the answer: “I want to reclaim the assets that belong to our clan—the super-giant ship Herringhonny.”

"!"

The gods were stunned.

"Damn, that makes sense. The 'Academy District' was originally a sea fortress built by Zeus and Hera's Familia for conquering Leviathan. Because it was abandoned, the guild reused it to build the current 'Academy District' (a special district of maritime academic institutions)."

"I remember the school district's dimmer switch, or maybe it was something Leviathan dropped."

"So, what we've always considered to be a third-party force belonging to Orario is actually also an asset of the Hera Familia?"

This is outrageous!

"If Holder and the others knew that the creditors were coming to their door, they'd probably cry."

Loki's face fell instantly upon hearing Hera's words.

Holy crap, Hera's here to collect a debt!

She looked at Hera, who seemed poised to become a millionaire again at any moment, while Loki, burdened with enormous debt and forced to work odd jobs, wore an envious expression.

She pursed her lips and muttered, "Hmph, stop dreaming. Your inheritance has long been squandered by Lloydman."

"Is that so? No matter, I'll let him know what happens when he touches anything belonging to Hera." Hera waved her hand dismissively.

Freya seemed to understand Hera's meaning: "What do you want the school district for? Or do you mean that now that you've gathered a new familia, you don't plan to return to the city?"

Hephaestus stroked his chin, speculating, "Is the 'end' what allowed you to use the 'warship' again?"

The gods, hearing the end, fell silent.

"Hmm." Hera raised an eyebrow. "You guessed right. It seems the Orarios aren't just a bunch of pleasure-seekers after all."

"Gentlemen... the final battle against 'The End' is about to enter its second phase. Don't end up just playing a minor role like you did when you were fighting Behemoth!"

Hera's words silenced all the gods.

Freya was the first to be affected.

She knew exactly how many cards Hera still had in her hand at this stage.

Leaving aside the still-alive 'Chardor,' there's the 'witch' who appeared in the previous war game, the freak Charles, and today's witness of Pochi, who allows adventurers to skip two stages and fight Ota to a draw, along with strange magic.

It can be said that the current Zeus and Hera's Familia are perhaps even stronger in terms of high-end combat power than they were back then!

On the contrary, they...

With two level 7 Freya Familia members, they can barely serve as combat power.

Loki's side is not so good.

Three newly promoted level 6 warriors would be nothing more than cannon fodder on the Black Dragon's battlefield!

If we disregard the Zeus and Hera Familias, they are currently too weak! They wouldn't even consider the Black Dragon. They'll only fight with everything they have when the 'end' arrives and they have no choice but to subdue it.

Even a starved camel is bigger than a horse...

Freya sighed: "Your trump card is him, isn't it! Charles, and his 'abnormal' magic!"

Hera smiled. "You guessed right. It's fine to tell you, it's 'Ascension Magic' that unconditionally raises an adventurer's level by one! It's not just about stats, but it encompasses magical skills and development abilities, breaking the limitations of the 'device' for a comprehensive level boost!"

"What this means, I think everyone should understand without me having to say more!"

The gods gaped open.

The hall seemed to be silenced for a moment, so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

The next moment, a tremendous uproar and exclamations erupted from the mouths of the gods.

"Cheating!"

"That's absolutely cheating!!!"

"That bear is one thing! But how could such terrifying magic appear?! You must be cheating!"

That's right.

The enhancement of the Magic Hammer will not be counted within the limit of the maximum increase of level 3.

Freya's pupils contracted, which meant that the level 8 Chardo, with Shar's amplification, might be able to deal terrifying damage exceeding that of a level 12!

Freya gasped, "No wonder you dared to start the second phase of the final battle, so that's why..."

"Hmph~~" Hera arrogantly raised her head, her lips curling into an uncontrollable smile.

That grandson is a real source of pride. Putting everything else aside, although his skill in seducing young girls is exactly like his grandfather's, he only goes for extremely rare girls.

That's much better than that old man who'd stick to any woman!

"Hmph, cheating? I, Hera, would never stoop to such a high-class act. That child inherited the blood of the 'World's Strongest Man' and our Hera's bloodline; how could he not be strong!"

The gods' eyes turned red.

Why did Hera take all these wonderful children?!

They don't fit!

Some of the gods revealed malice in their eyes.

If you don’t get it, destroy it!

That kid is only level 1, right? Capture him and force him to work for you, or just kill him!

Little did they know, Hera had already seen their appearance.

She glanced at Freya, who leaned back tactically and glared back at Hera.

O gods, your omen of death is shining.

Chapter 482 That Year, 28 Stations Were Like Henchmen

The end of the divine assembly and Hera's high-profile return, while causing some shock among the gods, did not prevent them from continuing their enjoyment.

Black dragon?

What does it have to do with them?

They only needed to think about what to eat for lunch, where to gamble in the afternoon, or listen to music at a brothel. Their adventurers, however, had much more to consider.

Of course, they were more interested in the Shire and his magic than Hera.

Like fans of celebrities, they always admire heroes.

The ancient immortal spirits who form a pact with them, and the amplification abilities they provide, seem to contradict the traditional concept of the Heavenly Generals, but are actually the abilities that heroes of the current divine era should demonstrate.

'This guy is the ultimate hero!' Many gods seemed to have similar thoughts, preparing snacks and drinks, and watching Ciel's every move.

Some gods also suggested that we should come up with a title for the 'little hero'.

However, he was refused by the other gods.

"Such a wonderful show should, of course, be served at the triennial religious gathering!"

"There's not much to think about, it's not like we've decided to use the last hero."

"I think 'The End Hero' is also good."

"It's too early to decide now. I think we should call it Pegasus Knight."

"That's not as good as 'The Knight of the Elves'."

"I think 'Twin-Tailed Rider' is the best!"

"But speaking of which, has he 'leveled up'?"

The existence of Sharl overturned the previous concept of heroes, and it is rare to see a hero who is only at level 1.

The gods' gaze fell upon Hera.

She simply chuckled softly, "Soon, isn't it?"

There's no need to hide this. Having killed the Fallen Fairy and now been ravaged by Ota, his so-called great achievements are already more than enough, and his ability points must have accumulated a lot. Upgrading is a foregone conclusion.

The gods, filled with anticipation, discussed leaving the assembly.

They decided to come up with a nice nickname for Charles in advance.

After the divine assembly concluded, Hera sought out Hephaestus to discuss her request to forge the 'Goddess's Blade' for Belle.

The dream crystals left behind by Belle contain Hestia's blessings, including the protection of the "Eternal Sacred Flame," which may come in handy in "Olympia."

Freya also stayed behind. The two goddesses who had reached the top of the city sat together for the first time, which meant that they had fully joined the ranks of those fighting against the 'end'.

……

In what should have been a farce that had come to an end, Gnar, who had been driven away by Finn, returned to the guild headquarters unwillingly.

Using his polarization magic, he altered his own existence and infiltrated the hidden archives room.

Just then, Hera needed to retrieve her stored goods, and Royman was organizing his staff to 'balance the books' and sort through the relics of Hera's family.

Regardless, the return of the Hera Familia with its formidable fighting force is a shot in the arm for the city. At least it will give it more confidence in dealing with external forces and make negotiations with other merchant guilds go more smoothly.

While organizing the materials, Nar unexpectedly came across a book containing information about the Battle of Behemoth.

Compared to 'BlazBlue' being used as a dimmer for the school district, the skeletons were used as Leviathans to block the 'Sea Dragon Seal' at the back door of the underwater dungeon.

The whereabouts of the items dropped by Behemoth are not mentioned at all.

He suspected that Behemoth might not have died at all, and might still be sealed away somewhere.

The information states:

Behemoth's dropped item was a heart, but after defeating it, the heart was buried in the desert at the time, and the monster's ashes turned the land black. Behemoth's heart disappeared from then on.

"Wow... Behemoth. I never expected to find such a secret." As Nar flipped through the books, a terrible thought began to grow in his mind.
