On the top of one of the buildings in Orario, Isao and his group stood as they observed the reason why everyone was tense.
"What is that deity planning to do with that green meat?"
"If you ask me, who will I ask?"
"Isao-kun?"
Isao shook his head, which caused many to sigh helplessly before they stared at the growing green mass that almost swallowed half of Orario
The ever-growing green meat continued to grow like cancer that was impossible to stop unless one did chemotherapy. At the same time, it also started to change its shape into a cocoon or an egg-like shape.
As for how one could tell all of that, it was because Isao told everyone about this.
"Is there something that we can do...?"
Even if the Loki Familia, Freya Familia, Ganesha Familia, and everyone else were gathered together, it was impossible to pass through this ever-growing green meat, especially when all of a sudden, this meat could make people drunk and make people go crazy. This was why Isao couldn't use his small animal manipulation or create a small animal from his body to peek since no matter what he sent, all of them would become drunk, and he was unable to control them.
Wine, wine, and wine.
All of them cursed this deity of wine, which had caused them a lot of trouble.
Fortunately, they had someone who could help them to handle this problem.
"Are you confident, Hestia?" Loki looked at Hestia, who had started her ritual.
"I am." Hestia nodded solemnly, showing how determined she was to help Isao.
In this battle, there were three people who would become three keys to bring victory to everyone.
While those who had aspired to become a hero felt complex, they knew that except for relying on and believing in those three people, there was nothing they could do since they knew well how dangerous this opponent was.
"Finn."
Loki looked at Finn, who helped with the creation of Hestia's temple.
"We have finished according to the instructions." Finn looked at Isao and asked, "What do we need to do now?" While he was a little helpless, he knew that there was nothing that he could do at that moment.
'What kind of a hero am I?'
Finn lamented inwardly, thinking how useless he was in this situation, yet when he thought about how he had attacked Isao previously, he knew that he couldn't do anything to change this situation.
In this battle, the only thing he could do was support Isao and believe in him who would fight this battle.
Yet, when he felt depressed, suddenly, his hand was held by someone. He turned and saw Lili was looking at him softly, which made him smile softly, too.
"What do you think, Hestia?" Isao looked at Hestia, who would perform the ritual.
"Yeah, it's good enough."
If it had been Isao who built her temple, her purification fire would have been perfect, but Hestia knew that she knew that this was good enough.
Yes, like before, to clear up the effect of Dionysus' wine, Hestia would use her purification fire to purify everything so everyone could start their war without hesitation.
Usually, such an act was disdained since the deities wouldn't make a move on the lower world. They wouldn't join or use their power but faced an insane deity like Dionysus; whether they wanted it or not, they knew that Hestia's power was necessary.
Still, while Hestia would be the one who purified this land from the effects of the grotesque green meat, the one who would fight this calamity would be Isao Iinuma.
Yes, they might be able to use their power and fight Dionysus by themselves, but they knew for themselves that this was dangerous, and they knew well that they weren't Dionysus' opponent, especially when no one was immune to the power of wine in this world.
The only way to fight this Divine Wine was by Hestia's Purification Fire.
At the same time, besides Hestia, Haruhime also stayed by Isao's side.
Yes, while it was strange, Haruhime was one of the keys to this victory. She might be only a Level 1 adventurer, but when all of them knew about her magic, which allowed her to raise the level of someone, they understood the importance of her existence.
If Haruhime was part of a small Familia, after many knew about her ability, there was no doubt that the small Familia would be decimated as they would definitely try to rob her away.
Even if they couldn't rob her, they might try to kill her since this ability of hers was just enviable.
When one needs so many years to raise their level, with this magic, they can raise their level.
Even if this level was just momentary, her role was indispensable, and this was the reason why many stood by her side; they knew that they had to protect her and supply her with magic potion since, with her Level 1 power, it was impossible for her to support Isao in this battle for a long time.
"Are you ready, Haruhime?" Isao looked at Haruhime, to which she nodded. "Yes, Isao-sama."
Her eyes were firm and showed a determination to give her everything to this young man, who had given her hope, love, and everything.
Even if she lost her life, it didn't matter since she would follow him anywhere.
Hearing Haruhime's answer, everyone then looked at Isao, who would fight this battle. As usual, he dressed in his best with his two trusted weapons, a saber, and a one-hand pole-axe.
"Do it, Hestia."
However, when Hestia was about to start her ritual, a voice was suddenly heard.
"There is no need to. I will come out on my own."
Suddenly, Dionysus' figure appeared in the distance building. Similar to Isao, Dionysus also stood at the top of one of the buildings in the Orario, but unlike Isao, Dionysus stood at the place where the green meat grew.
The two faced each other, and their eyes never looked away.
"I am not a coward."
Dionysus looked at Isao with a maniacal smile and said, "This will be our battle, right? Let's not have others interrupt us."
However—
"Hestia, do it."
Hearing Isao's words, Hestia started to sing, and at the same time, a barrier suddenly appeared surrounding her, blocking a rat-like monster that suddenly appeared and was about to kill her!
"RAAAAAAAAAA!!!"
The mouse-like creature never gave up, but it was killed painfully by Isao.
Then, at the same time, Hestia finished her purification fire, turning Dionysus' wine power meaningless.
Still, even if Dionysus fails, his expression doesn't change as he stares at Isao with his insane expression.
"HAHAHAHAHA! DO YOU THINK THAT YOU HAVE WON?! NO! I LET YOU DO THAT! OR ELSE, THIS BATTLE WON'T BE FUN!"
Dionysus raised both of his hands to the heavens and shouted, "WAKE UP, NIDHOGG!"
Along with Dionysus' cream, a voice that made everyone fall into fear sounded.
"OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHH!"
The earth trembled, the air became suffocating, and everyone knew that death was coming, but when "he" stood in front of them, they believed no matter what the difficulty, it would be his victory.
Holding his two weapons, Isao started his last fight with Dionysus!
