Wrong, my props refresh every day

"Interesting. That Amazon clearly spotted us."

Hephaestus said.

Chapter 109 Who is the richest woman in the city?

To deal with the Hephaestus family, Ishtar believes that he doesn't even need the [Killing Stone]. He can win by just letting Haruhime hide behind and secretly use the [Treasure Hammer] once.

After obtaining the property of Hephaestus's family, he will expand the family size in one or two years, incorporate more family members with high combat power levels, and then launch the [Killing Stone] plan. In this way, he will have a better chance of winning Freya.

Just as Ishtar's red lips curled into a sneer of confidence...

"Ah la la la~ I think I heard something incredible~"

A voice with a lazy smile suddenly came from behind the silk curtains hanging on the second floor.

Everyone looked up in astonishment, only to see that Hermes had unknowingly half-lying on Ishtar's bed, with his chin supported by one hand, looking down with a smile.

He was casually wearing a loose white robe, revealing his well-defined chest, and his golden brown curly hair was scattered messily on the pillow, as if he had just woken up, but his cunning eyes were flashing with a light that saw through everything.

"Hermes?!" Hephaestus frowned, his eyes darting back and forth between the bed and Ishtar, and asked, "When did you...sleep in Ishtar's bed?"

"Hey, Hephaestus, don't worry about the details~"

Hermes rolled over and sat up easily, casually twirling a strand of hair between his fingers, smiling brightly.

"Don't look at me with such a terrifying look, Hephaestus. I was just passing by and came to Pleasure Street to investigate the people's sentiments. I just happened to meet Lord Ishtar and he warmly invited me..."

Ishtar snorted coldly, but did not deny it.

His scarlet nails tapped lightly against the golden wine glass, and a hint of pride flashed in his eyes.

Just now, she had used the most "direct" way to ensure that this well-informed god of travel would stand on her side.

Hephaestus narrowed his single eye and spoke in a low voice:

"...it's such a coincidence that you 'passed by'."

"Coincidence is a prank of the goddess of fate, and I am just a poor god who was teased~"

Hermes feigned innocence as he spread his hands, then changed the subject, speaking in a lighter tone, "But since you two want to play 'war games', you have to have a witness, right? How about..."

Hermes raised his finger and pointed at himself. "How about I apply to the guild to oversee the entire duel and help you finalize the details?"

Ishtar raised her red lips slightly: "I have no objection."

Ishtar added meaningfully, "I believe that the most neutral Hermes... will make the most 'wise' judgment."

Hephaestus was silent for a long time.

The God of Forge stared at Hermes' seemingly cynical smile with his crimson eyes, and finally nodded slowly: "...Okay."

Hephaestus knew this cunning colleague too well, but at the moment, there was really no one more suitable than him.

"Okay! It's settled then!"

Hermes blinked, a deep smile on his face. He then clapped his hands, leaped off the bed, and then, producing parchment and a quill from nowhere, excitedly drew a shining trail in the air:

"A showdown between two A-rank Families! This will definitely be the most exciting event in Orario! But before that... perhaps we should first determine the specific details of the bet?"

The night wind blew petals through the hall. The shadows of the three gods intertwined into dangerous patterns in the moonlight. The distant clock tower chimed at midnight, as if counting down to the coming storm.

----

The unprecedented "WarGame" has been officially confirmed——

This explosive news swept across Orario like a hurricane. From the bustling central square to the dark underground tavern, everyone was discussing this sudden confrontation fiercely.

The two warring parties——

[Ishtar Familia] and [Hephaestus Familia]!

Why would two unrelated factions suddenly go to war? Rumors abound, and theories abound.

"Have you heard? The two gods have actually been holding a grudge for a long time!"

In the [Flame Beacon Pavilion] tavern, a drunken adventurer slammed the table and yelled, "Goddess Ishtar has always been dissatisfied with the Hephaestus family's monopoly on the weapons market. This time, I'm afraid they're going to completely tear each other apart!"

"Ha! You guys are so out of date!"

The merchant nearby lowered his voice and spoke mysteriously, "I heard it was that super rookie from the Hephaestus family, the super rookie who reached Level 3 in three months, the fastest in the city, [Wanji]. Yesterday in Happy Street, he was killed by the Amazon warriors of Ishtar... hehe, you know what I mean. The God of Forge is furious. His little white rabbit has been completely defiled by the Amazons, and he's demanding an explanation!"

"Idiot, how can it be that simple?"

Another dwarf adventurer sneered, "This is clearly two major factions vying for the throne of 'fourth city'! The winner will not only be able to swallow up the other's assets, but may even shake the [Ganesha Family]'s third position!"

"Hey, don't you think it's weird?"

"War Games require guild approval, but this time... God Hermes actually volunteered to be a witness? Could it be..."

Regardless of the truth, everyone is certain of one thing: this will be a "war game" of unprecedented scale in Orario's history!

Adventurers were ready to go, merchants were placing bets like crazy, and the odds in the tavern increased tenfold overnight.

Even the usually indifferent assassins couldn't help but stop and watch. After all...

An all-out war between two A-rank clans is not something you see every day!

Rumors spread in the shadows, and the truth may only be known by those high-ranking gods and members of the two clans.

The "faction war" is about to break out!

……

The afterglow of the setting sun shines on the Tower of Babel that reaches into the sky. The pure white giant tower stands in the center of the city like a scepter of God.

In the circular temple on the 30th floor, the dazzling crystal chandeliers illuminate the entire space like daylight, and the stained glass reflects dreamy light and shadow. This is where the [Assembly of Gods] is held.

"Hey hey hey hey—what the hell is going on?!"

The noise echoed in the temple. The gods who were usually elegant and calm were now whispering to each other like ordinary people, and some were even slamming the table excitedly.

"Why would Ishtar and Hephaestus suddenly go to war?!" Demeter, the busty goddess, shook her wine glass, and her super-perfect E-shaped breasts swayed with it. She curled her brown hair and asked curiously, "Could it be true as the rumors say..."

"Ha! That must be him!" Loki, the fun-loving man, crossed his legs, a mischievous look on his face. "I heard that the 'new dragon slayer' from the Hephaestus family was 'warmly entertained' by the Amazons on Pleasure Street for three days and three nights? Poor Xiao Chu Nan, I'm afraid even his soul was sucked away."

"Wow..." Freya, the goddess of beauty, chuckled softly, covering her lips. "I've seen that child before. She really does look... delicious."

"I am Ganesha!!"

With a deafening proclamation, the male god wearing an elephant mask slammed his scepter.

The entire temple fell silent.

This Assembly of Gods was presided over by Dean Kate. Dean Kate looked around and his eyes stopped at two vacant seats.

Before they could begin discussing the details of the [War Games], it seemed they needed to wait for two important gods to arrive.

Before he finished speaking, the doors of the hall suddenly opened to both sides at the same time.

On the left, Hephaestus, the god of forging, walked towards them with steady steps, his face terribly gloomy and a suffocating sense of oppression emanating from his body.

On the right, Ishtar sauntered into the venue with a graceful presence. Her gold jewelry gleamed in the light, and a confident smile played across her red lips. She deliberately slowed her pace, letting the slit of her skirt peek through, revealing her long, slender legs.

The entire temple suddenly became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

The two goddesses met face to face in the center of the rotunda, and invisible sparks seemed to burst out where their eyes met.

"I am Ganesha!!"

The Ganesha's deep voice echoed through the guild hall, his golden mask gleaming majestically under the magic stone lamps. His massive body stood between the two goddesses, his ivory-decorated armor clashing with each movement.

"Now that you two are here, we need to discuss every detail regarding this war game."

Dean Kate said.

Loki suddenly shouted a loud slogan, her short red hair swirling in a flamboyant arc. She deliberately stepped on the conference table, her boot heel causing the teacup in front of Ishtar to clink.

"Fight! Fight! Let me see what the Goddess of Forge looks like when she's angry!"

"Loki!" A trace of helplessness flashed in Hephaestus's one eye, and he raised his hand to straighten the teacup.

This clown god loves to have fun the most, right?

Ishtar, on the other hand, put the pipe to his lips and gently exhaled a puff of smoke.

After dealing with the Hephaestus clan, the next one will be the turn of this flat god with no breasts and no butt. After absorbing the power of the two clans, Freya will be close to dethroning the first place in the city.

Dean Kate banged the gavel hard: "Please maintain order!"

Dean Kate turned to Ganesha, the elephant-headed god.

"Ganesha, your followers will be in charge of overseeing this time. Eleven Lv. 5 'Ganesha Guardians' should be enough to control the situation."

Ganesha folded his arms across his chest, his trunk ornament swaying slightly. "I am Ganesha! I will uphold the laws of the city!"

Why couldn't Loki's family participate in the faction war of Freya's family in Volume 18 of the original work?

The main reason was that the guild believed that the Ganesha clan, which was responsible for maintaining order, could not keep up with the strength of the two heroes of the city. Once the two most powerful clans fought, it would basically be a super battle between LV6 and LV7. The 11 LV5 members of the Ganesha clan would not be able to take charge of the overall situation and would inevitably suffer heavy casualties.

By then, the disaster [One-eyed Black Dragon] will descend, and with the loss of the combat power of several first-level adventurers, it is very likely that the same mistakes will be made again.

Compared to the monsters of Loki's and Freya's families, the leaders of Hephaestus' and Ishtar's families are only LV5.

The 11 LV5 Ganesha clan members can be assigned to various battlefields to take charge of the overall situation. Even if two LV5 adventurers are completely enraged and engage in a life-and-death battle, the [Ganesha clan] can send out two LV5 first-level adventurers to stop it in time to avoid heavy casualties.

After deciding on the Ganesha family who would preside over the order, Dean Kate's contract documents rustled between his fingertips:

"Then, regarding the conditions for victory, the loser must transfer half of their property and be forced to surrender one of their clan members to convert. Do you have any objections?"

Ishtar raised her red lips slightly, and gently stroked the sapphire necklace around her neck with her fingertips: "It's just half of my property. Consider it a consolation fund for the poor craftsmen."

"Hmph, our blacksmith made a magic sword. I wonder how long your whores will have to twist their waists to earn back the money."

Hephaestus said bluntly.

The atmosphere was also tense.

The Ishtar family controls the largest brothel and intelligence network in Orario, while the Hephaestus family monopolizes the entire forging industry.

If all assets were confiscated directly, the city's economy would fall into chaos, so the guild set a "half" limit.

However, even half of the wealth of the two major families is comparable to the total wealth of many A-level families. After all, the two super-large families are basically one of the richest families in Orario, except for Demeter.

"Then comes the decisive war game situation."

Loki suddenly grabbed Mih's neck from behind and interrupted with a grin, "Hey, isn't it boring just to rob? Since this is a fight between two super-large clans, why not have an all-out war? Each side sends fifty people, and we fight in the arena until only one is left standing. The survivor gets the prize, how about that?"

Mih's face turned pale. "This is too cruel! Adventurers are not gladiatorial slaves!"

Freya reclined on the couch, her silver hair flowing like moonlight. "The arena is still too cruel, but I do think... Total War is indeed interesting after all. The blood-soaked and desperate fights are truly worthy of the name 'War Games.'"

"Lady Freya is right!"

"We will always support Goddess Freya!"

"Goddess Freya is the best in the world!!"

The male gods all echoed, their eyes flashing with fanaticism.

Ishtar dug his nails deep into his palms and clenched his teeth, a terrible murderous intent burning in his heart towards the silver-haired goddess.

This bitch is stealing her thunder again...

After she completely crushes Hephaestus and swallows up the forge god's family economy, she will be made to kneel and beg for mercy to prove that she is the most popular goddess of beauty.

After hours of heated debate, as the setting sun dyed the guild's stained windows blood-red, Dean Kate finally finalized the rules:

"War Form: Urban Ruins Hide and Seek. God-Seeking Game (Hide and Seek)"

"Time: One week later."

"Location: The ruins of Osa City—the ruined maze known as the 'Ancient Machinery Graveyard'"

Victory conditions:

1. Discover the opponent's god and take the flower from his chest.

2. Or make all the other party lose their combat capability

"Is everything okay?"

"no problem.

"Then the next step is to balance the battle details. What suggestions do you have?"
