I'm in a mess, starting with a meteor shower!

"That's right! Who's spreading this nonsense everywhere?! If we catch them, we'll tear them to pieces!!"

Loki here is also quite explosive. What does it mean that "Sword Girl" likes to be beaten by "Savior"?

When Loki heard the rumor, he immediately transformed into a desktop cleaning master, clearing Finn's desk clean while Finn stared blankly at him. Then he dragged Finn and the others over to Fujimaru Ritsuka to discuss how to resolve the matter.

"Ritsuka-kun, we're allies now, you have to help us with this rumor about Ais."

When Loki asked for help, Fujimaru Ritsuka's lips twitched slightly.

"Loki, do you want to recall how I was treated before?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka stretched out her fingers and counted them one by one.

"When I first arrived in Orario, I already had the title of Madman of Justice, then I controlled monsters, and later I became the Pink King."

"You know what Orario's adventurers and the Gorilla Girls are all about. They give everyone nicknames equally, and you can't stop them from saying whatever they want."

"What should we do then? Are we just going to let our Ais continue to be labeled a masochist? And not just any masochist...?"

Loki wanted to say that he still liked being hit by her, but he swallowed the words back, since it wasn't Fujimaru Ritsuka's fault.

"Lixiang-kun, as an advisor to the military police, could you ask them to issue a public statement to prevent people from spreading rumors?"

"Do you want to listen to what you're saying? You know I'm an advisor to the military police, how could I possibly use my power for you?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka stared at Loki speechlessly.

"Moreover, you should know that the more you forbid such things, the more they will spread them in private, and the rumors will only become more exaggerated."

"But I'm so annoyed! My Ais, the perfect Ais! How could she become a masochist!"

Even if you say that....

Fujimaru Ritsuka looked at the person sitting next to Loki, the swordswoman who seemed completely oblivious to the fact that this concerned her.

"But Miss Ais was actually quite happy after she was beaten up."

"How can they be the same!?"

Loki's eyes widened.

"Ais is happy because she can hold out a little longer against Mordred, not because she's been beaten up! There's a fundamental difference between the two!"

“You’re right, but no one else knows, and we won’t tell anyone about it.”

Loki leaned back on the sofa helplessly.

"Isn't there any way to get this over with? Our Ais..."

Seeing Loki's life-or-death state, Fujimaru Ritsuka spoke up helplessly.

"Although I can't use the military police to suppress the rumors for you, there are still ways to let this matter pass."

"What should we do?"

"Rumors are inherently trending topics. They only attract attention because they're trending recently. But if a new topic can generate even more buzz and make people more willing to talk about it, then the new topic will overshadow the old one."

To put it simply, it's about using new trending topics to suppress old ones.

"What new topics do you want?"

"Didn't you plan to give us the Titan Armor before?"

"Yes, we have taken the Titan armor out of the warehouse, but in order to make sure there are no problems with the armor, we are testing it within our clan."

Finn nodded in explanation.

"After all, we can't give you a bunch of unusable junk."

In this respect, the Loki Familia is quite conscientious; if they're going to send something, they make sure there's nothing wrong with it before sending it.

So for the past two days, apart from Ais getting beaten up by Fujimaru Ritsuka, the rest of the Loki Familia have been constantly testing the Titan armor that were moved out of the warehouse to ensure that the items can be stably and safely transported.

“Very well, then bring those Titan armored vehicles openly and honestly.”

"Ok?"

Finn was somewhat puzzled.

"Openly and honestly coming here?"

"That's right, remember to take the main road and bring it over by car. If anyone asks you, just tell them what that thing is for."

"But if we do that, the Ishtar Familia will know that you no longer have any hidden advantages."

According to Finn's plan, after their clan confirms that the armor is working properly, they will secretly deliver it under the cover of darkness, so that Fujimaru Ritsuka can catch Ishtar off guard in the war game.

"It's OK!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka waved her hand dismissively.

"Anyway, I never thought of using that thing to create new buzz and topics, so as to cover up the previous topics."

"Aren't you using Titan armor?"

Finn looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka in surprise.

“That’s right, I have a way to deal with Ishtar, and Titan armor is completely useless.”

"This...."

Wouldn't that make it seem like the Loki Familia is completely useless to the Asteria Familia?

Finn couldn't help but smile wryly. It seemed that the Loki Familia would really have to completely follow in the footsteps of the Asteria Familia from now on.

"In short, by sending the Titan Armor here so openly, everyone's attention will be on the Titan Armor, and the rumors about Ais will gradually disappear. Similarly, the rumors about me will also disappear."

Fujimaru Ritsuka looked at Loki.

"After all, not only is Miss Ais not a masochist, but I am also not someone who likes to hit women."

Volume 1: 141. Ishtar: I'm going to flip the table!

As requested by Fujimaru Ritsuka, Finn and Loki immediately returned to their Familia and then worked through the night to speed up the testing of the Titan Armor.

After a busy night ensuring the Titan armor wouldn't malfunction, early the next morning, taking advantage of Orario's morning rush hour when everyone was heading towards the Tower of Babel, they openly used a carriage to head towards the Astrea Familia.

As a star family in Orario, Loki's sudden collective activity naturally attracted the attention of passersby, especially since the things being carried on the carriage were not even covered with cloth and were directly exposed. The passersby were all curious about what they were.

As instructed by Fujimaru Ritsuka, when passersby discussed the matter with curiosity, the people in charge of escorting the goods would immediately engage in a heated discussion among themselves, recounting the Titan armor in a very loud voice to ensure that the passersby could hear them clearly.

So when the Titan Armor was delivered to the Asteria Familia, almost the entire Orario knew that the Loki Familia had given the Asteria Familia a bunch of special equipment for underwater combat.

Combined with the previous underwater war between the Asteria Familia and the Ishtar Familia, everyone believed that the Loki Familia was helping Fujimaru Ritsuka fight the Ishtar Familia, and that was indeed the case. If Fujimaru Ritsuka hadn't drawn Darius III, this Titan Armor would have truly become a means for Fujimaru Ritsuka to fight against the entire Ishtar Familia.

Ishtar, who was already worried that Loki would help Fujimaru Ritsuka, was now in an uproar.

Ever since she learned of the alliance, she had been worried about it. But what she feared most came true: Loki not only allied with Asteria, but even sent the Titan armor to them.

As a veteran member of Orario's familia, she naturally knew what Titan Armor was; it was used to fight large monsters.

Although Frini is enormous, compared to Leviathan, who once fought against Titan Armor, she is like an ant against an elephant. When Fujimaru Ritsuka comes to fight Frini wearing Titan Armor, how is she supposed to fight?

"That damned Loki! Why is she targeting me?!"

An enraged Ishtar unleashed a furious rage within her clan.

Standing beside her, Vice-Captain Aisha also frowned. As the Vice-Captain of the Ishtar Familia, she was the strongest fighter besides Captain Frini, and also the manager of the entire Familia.

As for Captain Frini, she is only the strongest fighter. Apart from that, almost everything in the Familia is irrelevant to her. After all, she is a girl who thinks she is more beautiful than the main god and doesn't even listen to the main god.

As the vice-captain of the clan, Aisha was also worried and couldn't help but ask.

"Lord Ishtar, have you had any recent friction with Loki?"

"Aisha, what do you mean?"

Ishtar glared at Aisha, "What do you mean by 'having friction with Loki'? You're practically questioning whether I've offended Loki!"

However, Aisha was not intimidated. As the manager of the clan, she had to understand the situation, so she asked directly.

“Lord Ishtar, we have never had any dealings with the Loki Familia. Loki would not target us without reason. There must be a reason for her doing this. We have no problem with the Familia. It can only be that there is some kind of conflict between you and Loki.”

Aisha's words reminded Ishtar of his previous experience of being challenged by Loki at the Divine Assembly.

But that was when she mocked Athena and then got retaliated against by Loki, not when she mocked Loki. She was the victim!

"No, I didn't provoke her at the meeting!"

Ishtar shook his head solemnly.

Not only did she not provoke Loki, she didn't even verbally provoke Freya. Although she had always wanted to kick Freya out and take her place, she wasn't stupid. She also understood that she was still in a dormant period, so even though she disliked Freya, she didn't take the initiative to cause trouble. Did she really think that Level 7 pig was just a decoration?

"That's very strange."

Aisha did not doubt that Ishtar was lying, because at this point, there was no point in lying.

Why would Loki target the Ishtar Familia like this if he wasn't lying? Aisha couldn't understand.

She never imagined that this wasn't directed at Ishtar at all; it was just a tactic Loki used to divert everyone's attention for Ais's sake.

However, this tactic put Ishtar under tremendous pressure!

The outside world has already tacitly accepted that the Ishtar Familia will lose. Even those who were originally preparing to open a betting market are too lazy to do so anymore, because it's simply impossible to open one.

The Titan Armorer was fighting the world boss Leviathan. Now, Leviathan's bones have been used to seal the water outlet connecting the dungeon to the outside sea, preventing the aquatic monsters in the dungeon from escaping to the outside sea through the outlet.

Can your Ishtar Familia be more powerful than Leviathan?

"Lord Ishtar, now is not the time to worry about why Loki is helping the [Saviors]. What we need to do is quickly figure out a way to deal with the Titan armor."

Aisha looked up at Ishtar.

"Do you know any detailed information about the Titan armor?"

"All I know is that it was used by Hera's Familia to fight against Leviathan."

"Hissing crab twists and turns, Wu Jun"

"do not know."

"What are the weaknesses?"

"do not know."

Isn't this just knowing nothing?

Aisha was speechless, but she resisted the urge to curse.

"Lord Ishtar, I need information about the Titan armor, otherwise we have no chance of winning this war."

Ishtar understood this too, and she gritted her teeth and thought about it.

"Where did those guys from Ikelos give us the medicine?"

A few days ago, when Loki announced the alliance with Astrea, she sent people to the dungeon to find the Icelos Familia. The Icelos Familia also provided assistance, giving Ishtar some special medicines. These medicines would not kill, but would paralyze the person's entire body. They used these medicines to capture special monsters in the dungeon.

That's a drug that paralyzes high-level monsters when they're hit, and it's even more effective against adventurers. Ishtar didn't know if Loki would help Fujimaru Ritsuka, so he thought of using this drug to target them.

But now...

Aisha shook her head.

"That's a paralyzing drug; it has to come into contact with the skin to work. It might have been fine before, but the Titan armor... from what I've heard, it's full-body armor, so the drug can't reach the skin at all."

"Does this mean I'm just supposed to stand here and wait to die?!"

Ishtar roared in fury.

"I'm sorry, Lord Ishtar, but given the current state of our clan, we are indeed unable to resolve the issue of the Astrea clan, which possesses Titan armor."

Aisha lowered her head.

Ishtar looked at Aisha, remained silent for a while, and then made up her mind.

"In that case, I'll make sure this underwater war can't continue!"

Volume 1: Chapter 142. Swimsuit Limited Edition

The day for war games has finally arrived.

Just like last time, the people of Orario happily flocked to various taverns or stayed in Babel Square, waiting for the war game to begin.

Because of Loki's gift of the Titan armor, no one opened betting this time, and everyone felt that the outcome was already decided. However, this did not dampen everyone's enthusiasm for watching the game, because they were eager to know whether Fujimaru Ritsuka, the "savior," could come up with something new in this war game, just like he suddenly threw out a lawsuit arrow in the last game.
