章節 736: The Tower

After leaving through the gates of Orario to finish with all the formalities, the group arrived at their designated spot a few kilometers away from the city by riding their Magic Humvee. Although there were some protests, mainly from the noisy Magical Girl and apathetic Humanoid Dragon God, it was Kisuke who drove it.

As they had expected, some people tried following them, including some members of the Freya Familia since among their friends, it was only Freya that Hestia and Artemis couldn't reach when they were saying their goodbyes.

Of course, Kisuke completely lost them with the Humvee's constant speed and a similar Illusion Magic akin to what he used on Line.

With the Humvee back in Kisuke's inventory, he took out a red medallion and placed it on the ground. With the medallion as its core, a large Magic Circle appeared below everyone.

"What's the medallion for?" Serafall curiously asked.

"It's the key to our destination."

"Hmmm?" Serafall looked at Kisuke with confusion, "Couldn't you just set the barrier to restrict unregistered Mana signatures?"

"Normally, that would've been enough, and that's actually the case if we were to register all of you to use Teleportation Magic in that area. However, it's a special case for me. Normally, you need to register the Mana signature as accurately as possible, but thanks to the nature of my own power, there are always minute changes in my Mana signature, so the site wouldn't be able to recognize me after a short while."

"But if I were to reduce the accuracy of the reading even a little bit, then it'll be prone to breaches since it'll be easy to use a copy of my Mana, even if it's a bit inaccurate. Until I can think of a better idea, I will settle with this for now."

Of course, Kisuke also tried using his own soul's signature, but after the transformation he went through, it became akin to Yoruichi's Reiatsu when she transformed and lost control of herself.

The light of the Magic Circle soon engulfed everyone and the next moment, they were standing on the floor made out of Orichalcum. On top of them are familiar crystals that give light to the safe points of the Dungeon, however, they seemed to be extremely close.

In a bit, they finally noticed they were on top of a structure tall enough that it almost touched the Dungeon's ceiling.

"Where are we?" Sona asked as she walked towards the edge of the structure they were on. The others did the same and what came to them was the beautiful view of the enclosed nature.

Kisuke walked up behind them while answering, "It's the 48th floor of the Dungeon within the Dizara Region. A safety zone."

However, while everyone was busy admiring the rare view, Serafall noticed something and flew away before looking back. After looking up and down, she started laughing out loud, "Fuhahaha! As expected of Ki-tan~! You just don't care whether you destroy the scenery, do you?"

Hearing that, Ophis's already serious expression became even deeper and she instantly teleported beside Serafall to measure up the building she's standing on a second ago.

Nodding to herself, Ophis pointed at the area opposite of the building and declared, "That spot shall be mine."

Kisuke was dumbfounded at Ophis' sudden declaration, but he soon started laughing and gave her a thumbs up, "I'll reserve that spot for you. For the materials, just gather them from the man-made Dungeon. If you need more, just tell me."

Serafall finally recalled Ophis' incomplete project back on Mars and understood that she wanted to make the second one here.

While no one else knew about the new 'monstrosity' that was about to be born, Yoruichi and Kuroka had arrived from the only entrance on the rooftop, "Looks like all of you're doing good." Yoruichi greeted them while Kuroka jumped towards Koneko and wrapped her arms around her, "Shirone~! Did you miss me~?"

Without any hesitation, Koneko answered in the most deadpan expression possible, "No."

But Kuroka wasn't the one to be disheartened as she continued poking Koneko's cheeks and recharging her 'Imouto-Energy', "Ara ara~ You don't have to be shy, you know~."

Ignoring the two of them, Yoruichi addressed everyone else, "Let's go inside first before everything else." She then faced Ophis and Serafall who were still floating in the distance, "Come inside. It's going to be noisy if people from below notice you two are there."

While the others were curious about what Serafall and Ophis saw from their perspective, however, they chose to follow Yoruichi first since they could always see what they were stepping on later. Once they entered, they were welcomed by a set of stairs and a door that looked strangely durable.

Yoruichi then took out a black card and put it on what seems to be a scanner beside the door. A second later, light bled from the top of the door indicating a number that quickly went up, "An elevator?" questioned Irina, but it's very obvious for what it was so no one confirmed it for her.

However, the moment they entered it, those from Earth, excluding Serafall and Ophis, had a strange feeling when they saw an elevator that looked like it came from a proof of concept project out of some sci-fi magazine.

Even then no one said anything about it and just looked at each other. But as soon as they arrived on the 67th floor and the door opened, Aika couldn't finally hold it back, "What the heck!?"

The interior was that of their familiar Hearth Manor. It's as if they went back to it.

On the other hand, Sona could only shake her head with a wry smile while the others could only chuckle. They could now imagine what Serafall and Ophis saw from the outside, "You got free reign and you just went all in. As expected of you."

Claire, Tanis, and Ophis started running around and curiously inspecting everything that caught their attention. But after a short while, they lost their interest as there was nothing new besides the view in the windows which aren't actually windows.

"My head hurts." Koneko muttered after seeing the contrasting design. However, she and the rest could already imagine all sorts of culture in each room of this spaceship-like building.

"I've always wanted to make something like this, so I took the chance." Kisuke replied while leading them to their usual spot, the lounge. But before they reached their destination, Kisuke turned to the three disappointed individuals and said, "I can assure you that it's more interesting on the lower floors. I'll give you a tour later."

However, the trio didn't allow Kisuke to set aside the important stuff for later, "...Let's go." Ophis voiced out as she grabbed the hem of Kisuke's clothes.

And she was followed by the other two, "Let's go, Nii-chan!"

Of course, Kisuke couldn't disappoint their expectant faces any further, "Alright~! Let's go now!"

28th00: Phis-chama’s inner architect has reawoken from its slumber! When you’re that powerful, everything is lego. The Dungeon is gonna be scratching it’s head at whatever Ophis decides to build, cause it sure as hell ain’t gonna make ANY sense to anyone but the Mini-Trio. But now? Now it’s time for the most important part! It’s exploration time! For children, this is more important than anything! Dragon Gods are incredibly childish, so I guess they count too! At least they’re honest with their desires? I guess they’re called ‘Pure’ beings for a reason...

章節 737: Tower of Desires

With a sudden change of plan, Kisuke grabbed the three curious girls and turned to others, "I'll bring them back once they are tired. Although jet lag shouldn't affect you all as much, try to adjust your body's rhythm to this place's time."

"Jet lag?" asked Line.

"It is a temporary sleep problem that can affect anyone who quickly travels across multiple time zones. Although it won't be a problem for most of us, you, Hestia-sama, Artemis-sama, Claire, and Tanis would need some time to adjust your sleep schedule.", Sona answered Line and turned to Kisuke, "By the way, what time is it now?"

"It's quarter past noon. I can give you medicine to easily adjust your body clock easier, but it would be better if you are able to do it naturally."

But before Kisuke left, Artemis called out to him, "Wait, Kisuke!"

"Hmm? What is it, Artemis-sama?"

"We're inside the Dungeon, aren't we? Is it fine for us to stay here?"

"Ah!", at that point, Hestia also realized the problem, "T-the Dungeon won't suddenly act up, will it?" She asked nervously since the other Deities already warned her of the potential mishaps that may happen if the Dungeon detected a Deity inside. And based on what she heard from them, it's a guarantee that it won't end well.

"It's fine. As long as you don't release any of your Divine Power, the Dungeon would actually ignore you. Even then, I planned to make something for you two that will make sure that's the case so please don't leave this floor for now. I'll be done with them tomorrow.", reassured Kisuke.

Truthfully, he's already done with the devices that would lock their Divine Powers securely and disguise their appearance so the Mercenaries in the Dungeon won't be able to recognize them as the Goddesses Hestia and Artemis. However, he's still worried about their safety and decided to add some safety features, not against the monsters or Mercenaries, but the Dungeon itself since he has a feeling that if a God were to die in the Dungeon, they won't be able to return to Heaven.

Kisuke, Claire, Ophis, and Tanis arrived at the lobby and the latter three immediately ran out of the teleportation zone. Kisuke lets them be since they are well within his range of action and the security placed in this building should do most of the job in case something bad happens.

As he slowly followed the three who were curiously looking around, Kisuke was mildly surprised by the number of people coming in and out of the building, 'Looks like the Astarte Familia didn't put many restrictions, or maybe they are just being pressured by the other factions within the region.'

Kisuke already predicted that the scattered forces within the Dizara Region would converge after the news of an easy way to the deeper levels of the Dungeon since there's just so much wealth and resources down here that would attract even small Familias, 'Since I caused all of these, I guess the villages and smaller towns that would lose the protection of these Familias are my responsibility... Hmm... I suppose monster repellers would do it.'

Of course, he won't do everything himself. After making the final product, he'll sell its production method to multiple outlets that could produce them.

While deep in his thoughts, however, Kisuke heard something disturbing from the Mercenaries around him, "Hey, is he the owner of this 'Tower of Desires'?"

"I've seen the portraits circulating around so I'm positive."

"So he's the one who made all of this possible... But he doesn't look that strong. Look at those scrawny arms. It doesn't look like he could properly swing a sword. He even has a cane which proves that he sometimes has difficulties walking. I can't believe he made all of this."

"Of course no one does. The most probable scenario was he's a son of a great noble or very rich merchant that funded the research and development of this tower and used the Magic that instantly transports things to build it within the safety point which essentially gave him enormous power on this floor. Most of the Gods also believe that this is the case."

"Then why did he give the control of the Magic that instantly transfers people to the Astarte Familia?"

"It's most probably because the Astarte Familia was able to strike a deal with him. Since he doesn't have the power to protect this tower on his own, even if he included his wives, he had no choice but to get one of the biggest and strongest Familia to his side. Although he lost the rights to the Magic, he's able to solidify his position with the tower."

After roaming around for a few more minutes, similar conversations could be heard everywhere they go, 'Hmmm... So this is the reason why the Astarte Familia is being pushed back. They thought I'm some pushover that needed their help.'

Even then, a smile lingered on Kisuke's face, 'Well then, let's see how things develop~ I'll only move when they try to snatch my house.'

Within the tallest tower of the castle in the middle of Asauros where the Poseidon and Amphitrite Familias reside, two old men were watching the bustling town from the top while drinking liquor. While the first man emanates Divine Power, the second man's aura was that of a mortal. However, the second man's demeanor and sharpness didn't lose to the Deity drinking with him, "Are you sure about this, Poseidon? Letting Aruna do whatever he wants, I mean."

Poseidon put down his glass after emptying it, "I'm not letting him do whatever he wants. I'm just letting him do one thing. Besides, you can't really say anything since you and Hera already failed once and there's no other prospect within sight until now."

Zeus sighed and also emptied his glass, "I may have failed, but I don't think this is the right answer either."

"I'm the same. However, we couldn't prove that this is the wrong answer too."

"But Aruna is messing with something that could easily go wrong."

"I know. And that's the reason why I'm allowing it. It is so that we could watch him and what he is doing more closely. If I didn't give my consent and he decided to do this secretly anyway, it'll be already too late to do anything when something goes wrong."

"Haahh... And this Tower of Desire just had to appear at such a convenient timing. I feel a little bad for Astarte."

"There's no other way. We can't control Aruna. And since he increased the security around himself to a ridiculous level, no Deity could even approach him to send him back to Heaven."
