章節 334: Finally...

"Amazing..."

"Is this real...?"

"Do you want to beat yourself up so you can tell whether you are dreaming or not?

"Ah, don't!"

Yet, there was no doubt that everyone could only stare at the aftermath of Isao's attack in disbelief, shocked, wondering whether they were dreaming.

In front of them was a bottomless abyss that stretched tens of kilometers with lightning that kept spreading

It had been a day after that fight, and all of them still couldn't take away their eyes from the destruction caused by Isao's attack. It was just so shocking, and somehow, all of them recalled Asfi's words to follow Isao, becoming his followers, and they felt that idea wasn't bad at all.

The last time they met each other, his strength had grown so much.

A year later, how strong would he be?

If they asked to become his followers at that time, they were sure that they would be rejected since he didn't need them, but now?

There should be a chance, right?

"Still... is he really a human?"

Was a human really capable of showing such a might?

They felt that it wouldn't be a surprise if Isao was a deity.

Regardless, they decided to stay for another day as Isao needed to rest.

Yet, for the first time, he didn't pass out as usual, but even so, he decided to sleep as he was too lazy to face the questions of many, and at the same time, he realized how his power had grown dramatically after his adventurers in various worlds.

Antares might be powerful, but it wasn't an opponent that he couldn't handle.

Even if Antares had devoured Artemis, for him, who had replicated Artemis' DNA, it was nothing.

More importantly, the power of One For All was just too strong.

If he didn't hold back, he was afraid that the whole island would sink directly from his attack as his attack was strengthened by One For All.

Once again, while Antares, who had devoured Artemis, might be powerful, it wasn't the point that it could destroy a continent or two. Well, it was possible to do it, but it needed time instead of doing it instantly.

A combination of Antares, the legendary monster and the symbol of calamity that was sealed by fairies in the past, was combined with the power of Artemis, the strongest huntress in heaven, yet even so, Isao won.

He was the victor.

This also allowed him to gain a deep understanding of the power of the deity, as it was his first time fighting with it for the first time.

Isao could win, and his win should be easy, but the problem was that the aftermath of that battle would naturally destroy the surrounding environment and might even cause the death of many.

For the greater cause, this shouldn't be a problem, right?

Yet, if possible, he wanted to have a more peaceful way as he didn't want to destroy many things, so he fought in a more elegant way than showing such overwhelming power that was similar to a natural disaster.

Well, he was probably that disaster in itself now.

When he got angry, the people could only pray that his anger would stop and his anger wouldn't be aimed in their direction.

Still, there was no doubt the gain from this battle was great.

'Antares...'

As he thought about the ability of this monster, his eyes were full of brilliant light.

At the same time, whether it was Hestia, Hermes, or Artemis who had recovered, stared at Isao, who was sleeping. Well, Hermes stayed for a while before the two kicked him out.

As Isao slept, Hestia and Artemis talked for a while, thinking about what they would do now. The two of them had fallen for the same man, and even if they were best friends, sharing the same man was a different matter. Moreover, they believed that their love was stronger than anyone else's!

Yet, Artemis also knew that she came late, and Hestia was the first one to meet him.

At the same time, while she felt a bit vexed, she knew that Isao treated Hestia in a more special way as he hadn't taken Hestia's virginity. While they had touched each other, Hestia's virginity was still intact, but then again, considering the beginning of their relationship, she knew that for him to forgive her and love her sincerely was the best conclusion already.

So, in this battle, Artemis decided to become the second wife.

Yes, this fearsome huntress that brought terror to anyone decided to give the crown of Victor to her best friend, Hestia.

Yet, Hestia couldn't smile and thought that Artemis was so shameless!

"Say, someone who has had sex with my Isao-kun for the past two weeks!"

"I... I..." Artemis stammered, blushing, and knew that she had been seducing Isao. Yes, she might be a virgin goddess, but her act was like a slut, after all, so she knew that she couldn't escape from Hestia's accusation.

Still—

"But I never expected that he would be that powerful..."

While partly because Artemis wanted to escape Hestia's accusation, she couldn't deny that Isao's strength was so powerful and... he might even be stronger than her.

She loved him, but at the same time, she realized that she didn't know much about him.

"Hestia... is he really a human?"

"He is."

Hestia knew that Artemis said those words to avert her and made her stop blaming her for seducing Isao. Letting out a helpless sigh, she said, "He is a human. Nothing else, nothing more."

While Isao was a naughty boy, she knew well that he wouldn't lie about something else other than the one that was related to his lower body.

"He might have been hiding something, but this isn't something harmful, and as his woman, I trust him much, knowing that he wishes the best for us."

Hestia sat on his side, softly caressed his hair, and smiled, thinking that her days were wonderful and colorful after she met him. While not all of them were beautiful, and while this guy often made her annoyed and angry as he really couldn't control his lower body, it couldn't be denied that she loved him.

He made her enjoy a life that she had thought of as boring and always stayed still.

He was the one, and she also knew that he treasured her and loved her in his own way, even if many women were on his side.

"...."

Artemis couldn't say anything and just stayed silent, knowing that her love was much less than Hestia's. Yet, love wasn't something that could be counted as it wasn't in the realm of science. It was in the realm of emotion, something that existed from the moment the first human, Adam, was born.

The god had forbidden Adam not to eat the forbidden fruit, but due to his love for Eve, he decided to eat it as he wished to be with her, even if, in the end, he was banished from heaven, a regret was probably wasn't on his mind as he could be together with the one he loved till the end.

No matter how bad Isao was, Hestia never regretted her choice to love him.

Artemis let out a helpless sigh and understood that she could be the second wife. "But Hestia, we have to stop him from sleeping with other women."

"I agree." Hestia nodded.

As the two looked at each other, they shook hands, making an alliance to stop Isao from being seduced by another woman again. There was enough of them, and there was no need for him to have more women.

Their eyes were filled with determination, and they vowed to stop him no matter what.

"..."

Isao, who was about to open his eyes, decided to stay in silence for a while, feeling speechless, but he really never thought of making a move with more women anymore, at least in this world, but if they made a move, what could he do?

He was just a normal man who was interested in beautiful women.

If a beautiful woman pressed him and was straightforward toward him, could he confidently reject her?

He could if the women weren't his type, but if they were his type, then he could only press on.

Still, he decided to open his eyes, and as he opened his eyes, he saw Hestia and Artemis, who held each other's hands brimming with excitement.

"...what are you doing?"

"Isao-kun!"

"Isao!"

Regardless of their alliance, Hestia and Artemis leaped into him and hugged him tightly with happiness as he woke up.

However, Isao was thrown into the bed once again as he let out a helpless sigh, yet he had to say that while they were silly, they were important to him.

Still, at the same time, on the Orario, everyone was in a panic, as the fight between Isao and Antares could be felt from far away. Whether it was Artemis' bow or Isao's thunder, all of them caused everyone to feel fear and panic, thinking the world would be in ruin, but fortunately, everything was okay, and because of that, the Denatus that should be held today wasn't postponed, and all of them decided to have a meeting as they also wanted to talk about yesterday's incident.

Loki was also helpless since many things happened. Familia's expedition was also postponed, but she also knew that she needed to know what was happening yesterday.

"Dammit, go home quickly, okay?"

If there was Isao, Loki knew that she could just visit him to ask, but as he was nowhere, she was just helpless. While she knew that this wasn't good as she kept relying and even depending on him, it couldn't be helped as he was so reliable.

Still, as she arrived at the top floor of the Babel where the Denatus would be held, she was stunned when she saw a certain goddess.

"Penia? What are you doing here?"

Penia.

The goddess of poverty.

She appeared like an old woman who had long, unkempt white hair and wore rags that couldn't be called a robe; holding a bottle of wine, was clearly drunk, and walking like she was about to fall.

Still, if there was a reason Loki was surprised that this goddess appeared, it was because this goddess was unpopular, and Penia didn't even have her Familia.

However, while she was surprised by Penia's appearance, Loki's nose twitched when she smelled the scent of wine from Penia's bottle.

"That wine seems good. Can you share some?"

"No!" Penia quickly refused and hugged her wine bottle tightly. "You can get it from Dionysus later."

"Huh? Really? Why?"

Suddenly, Dionysus came from behind Penia and said, "I just want to share a good thing with everyone after yesterday's incident. I am sure that a wine or two will fix everyone's mood."

"You are right!" Loki showed her greedy expression and said, "Let's go to the meeting! Let's start the Denatus right away! I want to drink! No, I want to help everyone!"

Penia shook her head and followed Loki.

However, Dionysus showed a charming smile as he stepped forward and closed the door when all the deities on the Orario were summoned to the Denatus, thinking that everything was about to end.
