Feeling his outrageous strength, he can feel if he wants he can destroy and damage, the whole dungeon if he wants.
'It seems the magic stone can't upgrade me now; I have to devour mystical things to upgrade to the next proper god level,' Eero thought to himself, nodded, then his figure flickered, disappeared, and appeared outside the dungeon.
Walking toward the residence, he halted, looking at the shadow in the alley beside Babel Tower. "Mr. Eero, someone wants to meet you," it spoke.
Eero raised his brow, then nodded, walked inside the alley. After walking through the secret entrance, he appeared inside the secret underground place.
Looking at the person sitting on a throne in the middle of the hall, Eero became thoughtful. 'Is he Ouranos?'
Ouranos has white hair and blue eyes. He wears a white robe with a black hooded cloak and sandals.
"Welcome. You have finally taken that step, as expected. I haven't seen talent like yours in my entire life; it's truly frightening," Ouranos spoke solemnly, looking at Eero. 'Such frightening potential; he just ranked up to demigod, and I already can feel the god's power surrounding his body, covering this whole lower world.'
Eero nodded calmly then asked, "Can you tell me, what do you want from me?"
Ouranos sighed then said, "Although it didn't happen after ancient times that a mortal reached the level of gods, but now you have to seal your powers, lest it destroys the lower realm."
Eero nodded thoughtfully then replied, "I know, I will seal it myself; don't worry, the lower realm won't be destroyed."
Ouranos startled, his pupil shrank, brow furrowed, then relaxed, nodded. "Well, pay attention."
Eero's figure flickered, blurred, and disappeared.
Looking at the disappearing figure of Eero, Ouranos's expression became deeper. 'I didn't expect him to be a ruler like me; it became troublesome. It's been a rule among gods, two rulers can't stay in one place.'
…
A few days passed.
Lying on the roof, watching stars, Eero glanced at Hestia lying beside him then asked, "Hestia, if I someday leave this world, will you go with me?"
"Of course, I will go anywhere Eero Kun wants to take me," she said cheerfully, grabbing his arm.
Eero smiled, nodded, and became a little relieved. He thought maybe she would decide to stay in this world for her familia and reject going with him.
'It works out well. If she didn't want to go, well anyway, either way I would take away the whole dimension at the end of my adventure. Even if she later stays in this dimension or my Infinity realm, it doesn't matter,' Eero thought to himself.
'Also, my strength is increasing at an alarming rate infinitely, out of nowhere,' Eero glanced at his SS Demigod attribute. In just a few days, he reached this state, as if his body is constantly devouring fate, rules, and laws in the heavens.
Next Day,
Eero appeared near the Fertility Pub, looking at Ryuu already standing beside it with a basket in her hand. He smiled and walked toward her.
Ryuu also glanced at him. She was surprised then became suspicious, asked curiously, "Eero, you look different."
Eero walked and appeared beside her, replied with a smile, "My strength increased a lot."
Ryuu nodded, looking at Eero's face for a while. She fell into a daze, feeling very attracted, then came back to her senses, shook her head with redness spreading on her cheeks.
Eero then said calmly, "Ryuu, tonight let's go on a date with me."
Ryuu startled hearing that; her face turned red like a ripe tomato, then nodded with a smoky head.
"He he he, that's unexpected. Ryuu, you found a boyfriend behind our back," a few other workers appeared through the alley around, including Syr, whistled then teased her.
Ryuu's eyes widened in embarrassment, turned to look at her colleagues. 'When did they arrive?' Her face became even redder. Hurriedly, she ran away inside the pub, embarrassed.
Eero glanced at them teasing her, he smiled.
"Eero Kun, I didn't expect you would aim at Ryuu among us all," Syr said with a playful smile.
Eero shook his head, replied calmly, "Because she is the most beautiful among all of you."
Syr and others were surprised; then their mouths bulged angrily, giving him bad glances.
Eero smiled happily and playfully in return, walked inside the pub amidst their resentful expressions.
After eating lunch, he left.
"Have you heard the school district is going to arrive soon?" one of the adventurers whispered.
Eero halted thoughtfully. The school district is the boat that contains the whole school. It arrives every few years in Orario for maintenance and repair.
The boat Hringhorn, also known as the Maritime Academic Institutions Special District and more commonly referred to as the School District, is an educational institution in this world.
The School District is dedicated to forming its students for different disciplines. The initial reason for its foundation was to gather many talented people from all over the world in Orario. Lefiya is considered the greatest achievement in the school's history.
They are also considered one of the world powers and are often sent out to deal with international conflicts when the need arises, which is where their students also get the experience needed to rank up. They are known to travel around the world to places such as the Empire, Altena, Meilstora, and many more. However, they return to Orario every three years to renew and repair the ship.
"Garry suggested me to attend that school a few years ago, but I rejected him. It seems I should check it out," Eero muttered thoughtfully.
…
Ryuu standing beside the river bridge, looking at the stars' reflection in the water.
Eero walked and looking at her wearing a white long dress. He smiled and said, "You look beautiful."
Ryuu turned and glanced at Eero, her face turned red, nodded, and replied, "Thank you, Eero Kun."
"Here these are for you." passed the flower basket from behind, filled with a lot of colorful shining flowers he got from the deep floors.
Ryuu's eyes glittered; she smiled happily, then thanked him again.
Both then walked beside the river, talking.
Soon, time passed, and Eero sent her home after kissing her deeply in the shade of moonlight.
Looking at her running away from him embarrassingly, disappearing inside the building, Eero shook his head, smiled wryly. 'I can't be hasty; she is very different from Hestia.'
