In the world of anime and manga, the best partners

For a god, especially a great god like Uranus, dealing with Royman would be far too easy!

Even if Royman wanted to run, he couldn't possibly escape.

Left with no other choice, Royman could only wait and hold onto hope.

"I just hope things don't turn out the way I expect... Sigh!"

As they descended the passage, Feng Jin and Barbara felt their way forward while recalling information about Uranus in their minds.

Of course, this refers to Uranus from Greek mythology, not from the DanMachi world. After all, information about Uranus in this world is still too limited; we can only deduce useful information from mythology.

Uranus, the god of the sky and the first king of the gods, fathered twelve Titans, three Cyclopes, and three Hecatoncheires with Gaia, the goddess of the earth.

At first glance, it seems there's nothing wrong with it, but if you trace it back to its origins, you'll find that Gaia, the goddess of the earth, is actually Uranus's mother... After all, it's Greek mythology, and it's quite complicated.

So, temporarily setting aside those "chaotic" reports and focusing on the Titans, we'll find...

The twelve Titans of Greek mythology are the prototypes of the twelve Titans of Onphalus, aren't they? Although there are many differences in details, at least the name "twelve Titans" is correct.

"Wind Violet is a descendant of the sky and has the potential to become a Sky Titan; she can be considered a descendant of the Titans."

“And Uranus is the father of the Titans, so he is mine…”

"Ancestors?"

Seemingly realizing something, both Feng Jin and Barbara saw the shock in each other's eyes, and then simply gave up.

As expected of Greek mythology, the relationships just get more complicated the more you try to understand them!

To avoid letting these complicated relationships distract them, Feng Jin and Barbara chose to give up thinking about it.

"Forget it, let's not think about these things anymore. Let's see what Uranus says when we meet..."

Although they were heading downwards, the further they went, the more they could feel the presence of the sky, indicating that Uranus was not far away.

As expected, with the appearance of several flames, Feng Jin and Barbara also appeared directly below the altar. At that moment, as if sensing something, the two simultaneously raised their heads to look at the deity sitting on the altar.

Without a doubt, that was Uranus!

An old but dignified man sat on the throne of the altar, looking at Feng Jin and Barbara with a gaze that seemed to penetrate everything.

The two girls happened to look up, and their eyes met. They stared at each other, completely unaware of what they were looking at.

Because of the system's protection, neither Violet nor Barbara were worried that Uranus would be able to see anything.

In contrast, they cared more about something else…

How does Uranus view me? And in what capacity should I speak to Uranus?

Since arriving in Orario, Feng Jin has discerned her identity from the gazes of others: she is not a god, but a human like Barbara.

However, as Uranus summoned her, Kaze Sumire realized something was wrong... Her identity in the DanMachi world didn't seem as simple as she had imagined.

Even asking the system yields no useful answers; all I know is the identity I'm currently playing…

I have absolutely no idea what happened.

"Um, Lord Uranus?"

Looking at the lofty god, Feng Jin and Barbara finally decided to communicate with him as humans, but were quickly stopped by Uranus.

The aged, handsome man slowly lowered his head, a faint smile on his face. He seemed lost in thought, but his tone was exceptionally gentle, almost like a grandfather seeing his grandson…

"You don't need to call me that, child."

“After all, I can sense a similar aura of the sky about you, and it’s not low… You can be more at ease.”

Uranus did not adopt the deity's attitude at all; instead, he acted more like a kind old grandfather, which seemed quite strange.

Is this God's attitude towards humanity?

Isn't that a bit too kind?

“I am Uranus, the creator of this city.”

"Child, may I tell you your name?" Since one cannot lie before the gods, Feng Jin and Barbara immediately gave their names.

"Wind Violet".

"Barbara."

“Yes, those are indeed your names.” Uranus looked at Feng Jin, quietly waiting for the girl to continue. “But these are not the names I wanted…”

Kaze Sumire... something's not right?

That's true. Feng Jin is actually an abbreviation of her original name; her real name is...

"Yacintes!"

Feng Jin confidently stated her name; that must be the correct answer, right?

However, Uranus shook his head once again.

"Not your full name, but another name of yours, the name of a god!"

The two girls froze slightly. Feng Jin seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly her eyes widened, even her pupils underwent a subtle change.

"The name of God..."

"—Aigler!"

Kazemi & Barbara / Dungeon Encounters: Chapter 10 You are both a god and a human.

“Aigler? I understand.”

After thinking carefully about the gods in the divine realm, there were quite a few similar ones, but there was none named Aigle.

This is understandable, since Uranus didn't even know that the Wind Violet existed before he sensed the power of the sky...

But now, He knows.

After organizing his thoughts, Uranus tried his best to appear as gentle as possible, after all, these two humans before him had some connection with him, perhaps even...

"Then children, you should know where your power comes from, right?"

"...It is the sky, and it is very similar to your power."

Since Uranus could discern the source of Violet's and Barbara's power from the nature of their power, the reverse is also true.

“That’s right, the source of the power in your bodies is the sky, and I… am the god of the sky.”

In that instant, Uranus unleashed his divine power, and the intense pressure immediately swept across the entire altar, even causing the bricks within the altar to tremble.

In the world of Dandaka, once a god uses his divine power, he will be sent back to the heavens, but his divine might will not be restricted. After all, this is a means for gods to protect themselves when they encounter danger, and it can also be used to deter others.

If the person facing this divine power were a mortal, they would definitely be so frightened by it that they would be unable to move and would tremble all over.

But this time, the situation is a little different.

Because the god who unleashed divine power was Uranus, and the ones who felt that power were Violet and Barbara.

"Is this Kamui?"

"It is indeed a terrifying power. No wonder the troublemakers lost their courage to fight after sensing the divine power."

In the setting of DanMachi, the gods are omniscient and omnipotent, possessing terrifying power. Even just their divine might is extremely frightening to humans in the lower realm.

Even Feng Jin and Barbara could feel an unprecedented majesty from Uranus' divine power.

But beyond the majesty, there was something more... an indescribable warmth?

"Just as I thought, you really are..."

Looking at Feng Jin and Barbara, who were completely unaffected by his divine power, Uranus sighed, his eyes becoming misty as if recalling the distant past.

From the moment they met until just now when he unleashed his divine power, Uranus had been trying to confirm one thing: whether Violet and Barbara possessed his power.

These "them" were none other than the twelve Titans closely associated with Uranus. And as expected, the two girls did indeed possess Titan power.

But this Titan power is somewhat different from what Uranus knew... it seems to be mixed with something else?

But it doesn't matter!

Once it's confirmed that they are Titans, the identities of these two girls will remain unchanged; they are "Children of God" belonging to the lineage of Uranus.

“Come here, children, I will tell you everything…”

Uranus could not leave the altar, so he planned to bring the two human children before him and tell them the truth…

—

In the world of DanMachi, gods are born of nature and exist as concepts. Despite possessing unprecedented power, they are unable to reproduce with any living being, even if that being is also a god.

Therefore, even if those male gods spend all day strolling around the entertainment district, they will not encounter a situation where "demigods are everywhere and gods are as common as dogs".

And those gods who have close relationships in mythology will be completely different in Danmaku.

Take Odin and Thor as an example. In Norse mythology, they are father and son, but in the world of Danmaku, it's different; they might even be brothers. But even without the father-son relationship, Odin and Thor still have a better relationship than many other gods.

The Titans were gods who had an extraordinary relationship with Uranus and belonged to the same lineage.

It is true that Feng Jin and Barbara possess divine power, but they are definitely not descendants of gods, because gods have no offspring.

If that's the case, then what exactly is this so-called "Son of God"?

Of course, it's people who have received divine favor!

But this kind of grace is different from the mainstream "divine grace" in the world; it's something much higher...

As we all know, gods can use their divine blood to inscribe divine grace on the backs of mortals, granting them greater power and more possibilities.

But this is only the most basic level. After all, in this era, gods cannot use their divine power in the mortal realm and can only offer something as basic as "divine grace."

What then is an even higher form of grace?

Just look at Violet and Barbara and you'll know.

They, too, had not received any "divine grace," yet possessed such immense power, even easily defeating the level 3 Hyacinthus…

Simply because they possess a higher level of "favor," completely overshadowing the mainstream divine favor in the world.

In a sense, this can no longer be called a "favor" but can be described as "pampering".

That's right, Feng Jin and Barbara are people favored by the gods, and they even have the potential to become gods!

For example, between the chickens an old man raises and his own grandson, which is more important?

Need I say more?

You try touching my grandson!

Shouldn't we pluck your feathers and make chicken soup for our grandson to nourish him?

Hyacinthus of Apollo's family, and all those in the world who have received divine favor, are that chicken.

And Feng Jin and Barbara... are their granddaughters!

"God's favor" is not just a saying; it requires a god to dedicate everything, risking being banished, destroyed, or forgotten, in order to create a "son of God."

At close range, Uranus saw the true nature of the two girls' power, and only then was he completely relieved.

Feng Jin is a pure Sky Lineage "Child of God", while Barbara is somewhat different. Although the power within her body is somewhat chaotic, she can still be considered a "Child of God" to some extent.

"If I had to describe it, it would be that gods reside within your bodies, but you are essentially human."

"Not only can they use the powerful force of the gods at any time, their strength is close to that of top adventurers, but they also won't trigger the divine power repatriation mechanism."

"This is the perfect child!"

For thousands of years, Uranus has remained at the altar, praying to the dungeon, suppressing its monsters, and saving countless children.

In this pitch-black altar, illuminated only by a faint fire, the great god almost never smiled, but instead prayed to the underground city and dealt with the troubles within the city.

Today, seeing the two "sons of God" appear before him again, Uranus finally smiled...

Perhaps they are the hope for saving the world below?

Although it is unknown which Titans made the sacrifices, Uranus was sincerely grateful to them for the birth of these two children.

"Children, remember this."

“You are both gods and men.”
