Danmaku, my skills refresh weekly.

The attacker stood frozen in place, completely limp.

"Hey, you woman, what's wrong with you?!"

The tense situation fell silent for a moment.

The adventurers who had gathered around Metluja swallowed hard.

My God, the strong wind alone is enough to immobilize us; what if we got hit by it...?

As the adventurer fell silent, Metluja wiped the dirt from her face, gripped her wand with both hands again, and looked around:

"Well done! You actually managed to dodge my full-force attack! Looks like I'll have to go all out!"

"And another thing! Shouldn't you be facing me head-on at a time like this? Instead, you resorted to a sneak attack! As expected of a despicable clan, it seems there's no need to hold back anymore!"

Hey, I didn't move at all!

And what's that? That wasn't even full power?!

"Whoa who ...

The tip of the winged wand flashed with a dazzling light.

Those were flying shoes custom-made by Fels in the past, which Fels has now modified to add the flying function to the 'Archangel's Staff' and added the ability to accumulate magic power and release it instantly.

Simply put, this is a firecracker...

In Ciel's words, there's nothing a magical girl can't solve with one shot; if there is, then two shots will do the trick.

Its front section is infused with Metluth's immense magical power, mimicking Goliath's simple way of venting magical power with his 'Roar,' and astonishing power gathers between the staff.

"Whoosh!"

hum-

The immense kinetic energy shattered the ground beneath Metluth's feet. In the next instant, the massive recoil raised the cannon's muzzle, and a pure white magical shockwave swept upwards towards Orario.

boom----

The streets and buildings along the way were blown apart by the wildly waved magic wand.

"Waaaaaaahh ...

Miserable and terrified screams echoed around.

The Angolan family members, who were lying on the ground and dared not move, suddenly focused their attention.

"Hey, although he looks very strong, he's a complete novice."

"That might give us a chance!"

A thought arose in the minds of all the adventurers: "I can turn the tables and kill them."

The rustling of the building rocks dissipated, and the adventurers swarmed forward.

Metluth, pressing down her wizard's hat, glanced at the roaring adventurers around her who were launching a counterattack, and a smirk appeared on her lips:

"What a memorable opponent! How could he emerge unscathed from my bombardment?"

"Stupid woman, die!"

Amidst roars, various swords and weapons rained down on Metluja, but an invisible barrier protected her.

Amidst the clanging and clattering sounds, the adventurer's expression grew increasingly grim.

"Hey, didn't I just chop her neck?!"

"Ah... I clearly chopped off his head, how come he's alright!?"

The adventurers looked at their bent, chipped weapons and realized a terrible reality...

"Ouch! Well then, it's my turn now!"

"Take this! Witch's Roar! 乑!!!" Metluja pointed her Seraph's Staff, which was flashing with blue light, at the ground.

A terrifying magical shockwave shattered the earth, and the flying stones and fragments pierced the adventurers' bodies like cannonballs. For a moment, the entire scene fell silent.

"Monster... Monster!" The god Angra Newman, who had been hiding in the distance, fled the alleyway on all fours.

"Don't run!" Metluja glared at her, but before she could take two steps, she tripped and fell to the ground.

On the other side, Hera, covering her face, pushed Angra Newman to the ground, and black slime emanated, engulfing him. After doing all this, Hera finished off her opponent with a single strike, then helplessly went to Metluja's side and helped her up.

"Honestly, you're so clumsy, nothing like your sister."

Metluth chuckled and stuck out her tongue: "Hehe~~"

"Sigh." Hera sighed and turned to look at the tower in the distance. "Hey, after watching this show for so long, it's time to come out."

The sound traveled very far.

Finn and Grace instructed their crew to stand by, and after a few careful leaps, they arrived near Hera.

He glanced at Metluth with apprehension: "Was everything tonight your divine will, Lady Hera? What was your purpose?"

"Purpose?" Hera chuckled. "Just simple revenge. What? Brave brat, you want to be an enemy of our Hera Familia?"

“You’re joking, Lady Hera,” Finn chuckled awkwardly.

He wasn't stupid. Even though the witch beside Hera looked ridiculous, her magic was far beyond level 7 and could even cause strange phenomena, which was no lie.

In his view, this was entirely the witch's twisted sense of humor, a scheme to play dumb and outsmart the enemy.

He would never forget the terrifying magic that had shattered his spear with all his might.

Ha, don't even think about trying to trick me into giving up my life.

Chapter 490 Hair and Power

"Since you don't intend to be our enemy, then get out of my way!" Hera waved her hand and shouted at the Loki Familia officers who had gathered around.

Finn pondered for a moment, then silently moved aside, turning his gaze to his other companions.

This is a contest between gods, and there's no need to rush into battle before receiving Loki's orders.

"Let's go, Metluth!" Hera smiled with satisfaction upon seeing this.

"Yes, Lady Hera."

Metluth adjusted her slightly disheveled wizard's hat, sat on the Archangel's Staff, and a pair of wings flashed from the end of the staff. The two of them soared into the sky.

Witnessing Hera's Familia depart, Finn licked his slightly aching thumb and instructed his companions to check on the adventurers on the ground.

An ordinary-looking boy with slightly thinning hair reported, "Commander, there is no immediate danger to his life."

"Send him to the hospital," Finn sighed.

As she was about to leave, she paused, turned back to look at the boy with suspicion, and said, "Um... I feel like I don't recognize you."

"I am Raul, commander."

“Oh… sorry, what happened? Pfft.” Finn admitted that he had neglected his family recently. He didn’t expect that Raul would almost have a receding hairline in just a few months.

"Sorry, I just couldn't help it," Finn quickly apologized.

Raul's eyes were vacant but intelligent: "It's alright, I don't care."

"Um, are you sure it's okay? Raul, you seem to be under too much pressure lately. The previous incident has been investigated and found to be a Joker's conspiracy. Don't worry about it."

"I really didn't care, Captain. I feel incredibly strong right now. I should be leveling up soon," Raul said calmly.

It was just a matter of hair, yet in just one year he was able to advance again, surpassing some exceptionally talented cadres. He believed this was valuable.

"Oh? That's surprising, but what about Angie..."

"Ha, hair and women only slow down my punches," Raul thought to himself. "Only muscles and strength don't lie. You bunch of con artists, don't even think about stopping me from getting stronger!"

"Commander, would you like to sing praises of youth with me?"

Finn thought to himself: Could it be that the only side effect of the excessive involution of that 'training method' that Ciel gave him was hair loss?

As an adventurer, if one could quickly become stronger by sacrificing a mere hair, that wouldn't be impossible, but...

'I think I'll pass.' Finn shook his head.

He also needs to find a mate for the continuation of his clan. Historically, there probably hasn't been a 'hero' who lost his hair...

“Hey Grace, why don’t you consider trying it? If you have less body hair, people won’t say you’re too old.”

Grace silently removed his helmet, revealing his slightly thinning hair: "Are you kidding me, Finn? I'm already 50 years old."

Finn touched his nose: "Sorry, I forgot."

Finn is only 36 years old now, which is indeed much younger than Grace.

……

After learning that the turmoil tonight was caused by Freya and Hera working together, Finn also chose to give up. He and the Ganesha Familia escorted the adventurers who had lost their blessing back to the guild hall.

After learning the details, Royman was furious and kept cursing the two crazy women.

Many gods who received the intelligence fled to the guild headquarters, attempting to rely on the guild's power to evade the attacks of the Freya Familia and Hera Familia. However, after the return of the pillars of light continued to reach 23, a group of adventurers standing at the top of the city gradually approached the guild headquarters and eventually surrounded it.

"God Hera, God Freya. What...what do you want to do?" Royman, his face contorted with fear, stared at the two goddesses surrounded by the officers, wiping the cold sweat from his brow with a handkerchief as he stammered:

"Aren't you afraid of being punished by the guild for attacking other clans in the city without authorization?"

"What can you do?" Hera crossed her arms and said righteously, "Today, we will not only cleanse those gods, but also your guild."

"What?!" Royman's expression changed drastically, and he shouted urgently, "You can't do this! Don't forget your agreement with Lord Uranus!"

Yes, although the guild did not receive any favors from Uranus, it was essentially a member of Uranus's kin.

The gods granted Uranus the right to govern the city and guard the underground city on the condition that he not possess any fighting power.

As members of the guild being managed, they are naturally required to pay management fees (taxes) and obey the rules set by the guild.

but……

“This is under the premise of your absolute neutrality, right…” Freya reached out, and a believer brought over a whole box piled high with documents.

"Take a look. This is all the evidence we found in our investigation that your guild's employees colluded with secret factions to engage in smuggling and bribery."

Royman's expression froze. He shakily moved his large body to the side of the box, glanced at a few documents, and turned pale with fright.

"This...this..., this is impossible!"
