“There are even younger people around me.”
Chen Hai then looked at Hestia beside him.
Although it was only on the surface, he was telling the truth.
"hey-hey!"
Hestia, who was being stared at, cupped her cheeks and laughed.
She's undeniably a goddess who's easy to win over.
If you genuinely praise her, it seems Hestia will agree to anything.
kindness……
Next time, let's add her to the 'Night Team 3.9' of Takashiro and her daughter, and Miyamoto Rei.
Thinking of this, Hestia happily handed over a piece of cake.
"I just got this from over there, you should try it."
The Blue Ribbon Goddess handed the cake to Yamato.
The flattered Japanese official quickly accepted the gift and then bowed his head in thanks.
"Thank you very much."
"No need, no need. After all, Freya is the one paying. You'd better eat more."
Hestia, who didn't get along with Freya, urged them on.
Although he wanted to say that 'desserts alone won't bankrupt Freya's clan,' seeing Hestia so happy, Tatsumi kept quiet.
"My commander! I'll be looking after you from now on, young man!"
Dean Kate, walking casually up to Chen Hai from the crowd, smiled and said...
"Don't you dare bully my commander!"
"Of course not, Uncle, you can rest assured."
"I'm not an old man!"
As Dean Kate shouted "I'm a male god," she was pulled away from the scene by an apologetic-looking Amed.
Just as Chen Hai was about to speak at the little farce unfolding before him, Freya appeared beside Hestia.
"Well……"
Hestia stared warily at Freya.
The latter said softly
"Someone wants to see you, Lord Chenhai."
"who is it?"
"The chief deity of the 'Astraea Familia' - Astraea."
Upon hearing this answer, Chen Hai, intrigued, followed Freya's gaze through the crowd after she turned to the side and spotted a graceful figure standing near the entrance of the venue.
She is Astraea, the goddess who governs justice and order.
Chapter 80 Astria: Sacrificing Herself; Chen Hai: First, Shut Down the Pleasure Street.
Astria—
Five years before the start of this story, her members of the Familia were trapped by the dark faction 'Rudra Familia'. The birth of Zagnat in the 30th floor of the dungeon, the Dense Forest Canyon, resulted in the deaths of everyone except Ryu.
He left Orario because of Ryu's persuasion.
They eventually settled in Solingen, a sword-making city outside of Orario, and had several new family members.
Knowing this basic information, Chen Hai looked at the Goddess of Justice who suddenly appeared at the 'Gods' Meeting' and was somewhat surprised.
Faced with such a beautiful goddess with brown hair, all the main gods and their followers stared at her curiously.
Despite the stares of everyone present, Astraea remained calm and looked at Chen Hai.
"May I speak with Lord Chenhai alone?"
"of course can."
Chen Hai readily agreed, told Hestia, and then walked over there.
Along the way, I also heard many voices expressing doubt.
"Is that the goddess Astrea?"
"You're right, it's her... She left Orario five years ago, and now she's back. What is her purpose?"
"Is it because Orario has changed that they want to make money?"
"That's possible. After all, after Lord Chenhai drafted the new rules for the dungeons, Orario has become the center of the world."
"The magic stones exported from here supply the whole world, which is far superior to those from the other two secret realms."
"That's normal. Only the underground labyrinth is special because the Great Tree Sea and Dragon Valley don't have the 'infinite possibilities' of labyrinths. Instead, they are filled with dangerous monsters and extreme challenges."
The gods and their retinue members were all talking about it.
Chen Hai ignored all of this and walked up to Astria.
With her brown hair, fair complexion, and graceful figure encased in an exquisite white dress, she possessed a captivating beauty.
The Northern Hemisphere is also very attractive.
But that's not the point...
"The second floor is available for both of you."
Not far away, Freya looked towards the second floor connected by the spiral staircase and told them they could go up there to talk.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Chen Hai led Astrea away from the scene.
Upon reaching the second floor, you can feel a cool breeze blowing from the balcony.
The last rays of dusk have faded, and the gradually darkening sky signifies the arrival of night.
Chen Hai's gaze shifted to the right, where he saw the bathtub where Freya had invited him to sit earlier.
Behind him, Astraea, who was surveying the scene, walked toward the balcony.
Chen Hai followed the other person to the balcony.
This place is located on the top floor of the Tower of Babel, and it is also the central area of Orario.
Looking down, you can see more than half of the streets.
Astrea watched all this and sighed softly.
"Five years have passed...and this place has changed a lot."
"As time goes by, Orario is also saying goodbye to its past self. What you see now is only a part of the future."
"Lord Chen Hai, you are quite eloquent."
Turning her gaze away, Astraea looked at Chen Hai.
She took a deep breath.
Astraea, with her tragic past, has come here today for a very important reason.
"Please allow me to introduce myself, Lord Chenhai. My name is Astria. Five years ago, I ran my own familia in Orario. Due to an incident in the dungeon, I left the city, but I have now returned..."
"I know a little about Miss Astraea because the Adventurers' Guild is now under my control, and it contains records and archives about parts of Orario's history."
"It seems my self-introduction was unnecessary."
"No, not at all. It's nice to meet you, Miss Astria."
Chen Hai extended his right hand.
Upon seeing this, Astraea hesitated for a moment.
Are my hands dirty?
"No, no, please don't misunderstand."
Astraea quickly grasped Ren Sheng's right hand and responded.
"Please give me your guidance, Lord Chenhai."
"kindness……"
"Um...can you let go of my hand?"
"That won't work."
Now Astraea's hand is being held tightly by Chen Hai.
The reason it turned out this way—
Chen Hai brought his face close to Astraea's and felt the goddess's warm breath.
He stared into the goddess's jewel-like eyes.
"You seem afraid of me; your right hand, which I'm holding, is trembling slightly."
"..."
“I know your past, but that belongs to the ‘past.’ The ‘underground city’ I control begins in the ‘future.’ You don’t need to see me as the creator of those misfortunes, otherwise I wouldn’t have changed this city.”
"Why does Lord Chenhai open the underground city under his control to outsiders?"
Chen Hai, still holding the goddess's right hand, smiled.
"For my own benefit, I will also develop Orario, since I have control over this place now."
“Yes… this is it…”
"If I wanted to forcibly take control of this place, what would you plan to do then?"
"I have two choices."
Astra added
"The first option is to fight Lord Chenhai with divine power in exchange for returning to the Heavenly Realm."
"Then the second one?"
"I hope Lord Chenhai will stop, even at my own cost."
To put it simply, it means sacrificing oneself.
Chen Hai smiled slightly after listening.
"Does Miss Astraea equate herself with the world? I don't dislike such a confident goddess."
553 "No, that's not what I meant...it's just..."
"It's ok."
"..."
"Don't worry, Miss Astraea."
With a forceful pull, Chen Hai pulled the goddess in front of him.
"At least for now, I am your comrade."
"That...it's too close..."
"excuse me."
Chen Hai then released Astria from in front of him.
The latter exhaled, her face flushed, and after adjusting her mindset, she looked at Chen Hai.
"Is there anything I can do for you?"
"Oh, this one... there's one more."
"What are the specific details...?"
“I hope Miss Astraea will abolish the city’s ‘pleasure street’.”
