Chapter 91: Changing the Topic, Not Entirely Successful!

"Did I win a jackpot?"

An expression of 'surprise' and 'joy' suddenly flashed across Ethan's face.

This made Freya a little angry.

'Oh, you were just cursing me and sacrificing 10,000 years of my lifespan, and now you look so happy in front of me. You're a real piece of work.'

"What are you laughing at?"

Just as Ethan was rejoicing, Freya's voice, clearly laced with anger, rang out leisurely.

At this moment, Ethan felt like he had just downed a bottle of ice-cold Sprite on a scorching summer day.

A chill ran from his forehead straight down to the soles of his feet.

"Uh, Freya-sama, I..."

"First you wanted to sacrifice 10,000 years of my lifespan, and now you're snickering in front of me. It seems I've been too good to you, Ethan!"

"Uh, listen to my explanation, Freya-sama, there's a reason for all this."

"Oh? What reason? Tell me~~"

Looking at Ethan, Freya stared at him intently.

She wanted to hear what kind of explanation the boy could come up with.

If he couldn't appease her anger, she would definitely teach him a lesson and make him understand why he should respect her.

"It's like this, I laughed because when I saw you, Freya-sama, it reminded me of something."

"What is it?"

"Today in the dungeon, I..."

Ethan then recounted the events of being attacked in the dungeon earlier that day.

He even mentioned a series of related things like the 'artificial underground labyrinth', 'Ikelos Familia', 'Evilus', and 'Ishtar'.

"Descendants of Daedalus? A man-made dungeon?"

Freya was surprised by each of these revelations.

Especially the artificial underground labyrinth, a massive project that had been going on for a thousand years right under the noses of the gods, and the gods knew nothing about it.

That was the most terrifying part.

As for Ishtar colluding with Evilus, Freya had suspected such a thing for a long time and didn't need Ethan to tell her.

"What do you want to do?"

"Occupy the 'Man Made Dungeon Knossos', and then our Freya Familia will have the most secret base in Orario."

"You really dare to think so, but according to what you said, after a thousand years of construction, the 'Knossos' has reached the middle floors of the dungeon, and there are a large number of remnant members of Evilus inside. Do you think it's easy to occupy it?"

"Others may not be able to, but our Freya Familia is different, especially now that we have a trump card, Haruhime."

"Haruhime?"

Freya's eyes flickered slightly at the mention of Haruhime.

The silver-haired goddess naturally cared a lot about this talented Renard with such powerful magic.

Currently, Ottar had reached the limit of Level 7.

If he could break through the barrier of Level 7 and upgrade to Level 8 in the future, wouldn't it mean that their Freya Familia possess Level 9 combat power with the help of Haruhime's magic?

It was important to note that even in the prosperous era of Zeus and Hera Familia, only the Empress had managed to reach Level 9.

"By the way, Freya-sama, do you have any more 'Grimoires'?"

"I have some, why?"

Ethan couldn't help but want to give a thumbs up as he listened to his goddess's casual display of wealth.

Those were 'Grimoires', magic items that could awaken magic upon reading.

In Orario, each one could sell for at least a hundred million valis, and they were still in short supply.

And here, Freya casually said she had "some".

The silver-haired goddess of beauty was truly wealthy.

"If possible, can you give one to Haruhime? I promise you won't be disappointed."

"Give one to Haruhime?"

Freya didn't have any objections to his suggestion.

After all, Haruhime's value alone was worth more than a single Grimoire, and from his tone, it seemed like there was some kind of surprise waiting for her.

"Let's not talk about Haruhime, and don't change the subject. What are you going to do about the Knossos and Ikelos Familia?"

Ethan smiled secretly when he heard Freya's question.

He finally managed to change the topic.

"There's an entrance to the Knossos on the 18th floor, and I have the 'key' to open it."

"Key?"

"That's right, it's this."

Ethan took out the key that looked like an 'eyeball' and handed it to Freya.

"A magic item, huh? How interesting, and it even has a blood curse on it!"

"It is said that all descendants of 'Daedalus' have bright red eyes, forcing them to complete the 'Knossos'. This key was probably made from the eyes of these people."

"What an interesting curse~"

In Freya's eyes, the blood curse was merely interesting.

"So, Freya-sama, what do you think~~~"

"The 'Knossos' that leads directly to the middle floors of the dungeon is indeed worth occupying."

"So that means you agree?"

"Yes, I'll have Ottar gather everyone and launch an attack on the 'Knossos'."

"Alright."

As the saying goes, time waits for no one.

Since they had decided to act, Freya naturally wouldn't drag her feet.

Ethan was also a little excited.

Attacking the 'Knossos' after being attacked in the afternoon and then leading his people to their doorstep in the evening, this feeling of revenge was simply too satisfying.

Not only that, but he had also gained Enkidu's unique skill from the previous card draw.

[Perfect Form]

As someone who bore 'All the Evil of the World', Ethan possessed the ability of 'Rapid Regeneration' as long as he had sufficient magic energy.

Coupled with this [Perfect Form], which allowed him to draw magic from the land to restore himself, the combination of these two abilities further ensured his safety.

Moreover, the advanced form of [Perfect Form] was [Age of Babylon].

That was a divine skill that could clash head-on with Gilgamesh's Gate of Babylon, comparable to a super-enhanced version of 'Knight of Owner: A Knight Does Not Die with Empty Hands'.

After merging it, a slight smile appeared on his lips.

However, just as Ethan was rejoicing, Freya's voice rang out once more.

"Alright, we've cleared up the matter of why you were laughing. Now explain to me again about 'sacrificing 10,000 years of Goddess Freya's life'."

"Ah?!?"

The smile on Ethan's face instantly froze, and he turned to look at Freya.

'Didn't we just change the subject? Why did you bring it back?' Ethan wanted to cry but had no tears.

After this little episode, as the sun set and dusk fell, Freya Familia, like a giant machine, was activated, and all its gears and mechanisms began to operate.

Due to their goddess's orders, the entire Freya Familia sprang into action.
