Chapter 282

The process of subduing Hestia went very smoothly.

Because she didn't meet Bell, and due to constantly hitting walls while recruiting and working hard for a long time.

The current Hestia no longer had the drive she had when she was first kicked out by Hephaestus to live independently.

Facing the olive branch extended by Lin Que, Hestia chose to accept without hesitation.

She didn't want to work hard anymore; she just wanted to live a happy, lazy life now!

However...

Just as Hestia and Lin Que were imagining the future and looking forward to her upcoming lazy life.

Laila, who discovered Lin Que was not in the Apollo Familia after returning to report, followed his tracks and came to the door.

"Huh? Sending people to attack the Demeter Familia?"

After hearing the other's report, before Lin Que could reply, Hestia on the North North North Side showed a look of surprise first.

"That guy Dionysus actually did such a thing!"

"Filvis is currently a member of the Dionysus Familia; even if Goddess Demeter lied, this matter must be related to them."

Laila looked at her: "Goddess Hestia, judging by your tone, did you know Dionysus when you were in Heaven?"

"Yeah, we were neighbors; our territories were quite close when we were in Heaven."

Holding the juice she had just bought and taking a sip, Hestia replied.

"I don't know what Dionysus was thinking, but he was quite similar to the Loki of the past."

"He caused quite a few things even in Heaven, and even tried to incite mutual slaughter among the gods."

"But later, Dionysus seemed to notice that gods would be resurrected even if they died, and that doing so was meaningless, so he didn't do that kind of thing anymore."

Speaking of this, Hestia paused slightly and took another sip of the juice in her cup.

"Actually, on the way to work a few days ago, I did run into Dionysus."

"Seeing him so easy to talk to at the time, I thought his personality had changed after coming to the Lower World like Loki."

"But now it seems it was all a disguise; Dionysus is still the same, planning something in the dark."

"Hmm... inciting mutual slaughter among the gods? Sounds like a troublesome god indeed."

Laila thought for a moment and looked at the North North North Side of Hestia: "Lord Lin Que, you wouldn't have known about this from the very beginning, would you?"

"Of course I knew."

Lin Que replied with a smile: "I didn't seal my strength, so a casual glance at his pile of little secrets exposed everything."

"As expected."

A look of realization appeared on Laila's face.

Unlike Alise and the others, after helping Lin Que handle many affairs of the Soma Familia, Laila had a deeper understanding of him.

From the moment Lin Que suddenly gave Alise a drop of blood to enhance her strength, Laila had vaguely sensed something was wrong.

Later, Alise relied on her enhanced strength to defeat Filvis, which made her have guesses about this.

Now that Lin Que had personally admitted this, all guesses were verified.

The other party had indeed discovered Dionysus's little movements, which was why he sent them to the Demeter Familia to save the day.

Not only did they successfully repel Filvis and ruin Dionysus's conspiracy, but they also took advantage of this opportunity to subdue the Demeter Familia.

"Although he also doesn't use force, his intelligence is at a crushing level."

Laila sighed: "Coupled with sufficient combat power, I now understand why you, Lord Lin Que, are confident that you can conquer the world within a month."

"But this counts as cheating, right? If other gods find out... though you wouldn't care anyway."

"Well~ to be honest, I still care quite a bit."

Lin Que smiled: "If any god doesn't like the look of me and takes the initiative to find trouble, that would be great."

Since devouring Soma, the gods of the DanMachi world have become money bags in Lin Que's eyes.

If more gods come who don't like him, he can just farm points for others in the group and take a cut for himself.

"Alright, let's stop the small talk here."

"Since the bad things Dionysus did have come to light, we can openly point fingers at him."

Lin Que looked at Hestia on the North North North Side: "I'm going to take care of that guy; do you want to come along?"

"I won't go for now."

Hestia thought for a moment: "Although I've decided to change jobs, if I run away suddenly, this shop will be short-handed."

"I'll arrange the handover work with the others first, and then I'll find you."

"Okay, see you later then."

Waving at Hestia, Lin Que disappeared with Laila.

It's time to catch the first white mouse and test whether his idea of farming points quickly can succeed.

At the same time, inside the Dionysus Familia.

Avoiding the 'companions' in the Familia who knew nothing, Filvis went all the way to a basement.

"Lord Dionysus!"

Pushing open the basement door, Filvis ran in with a look of urgency, looking at the male god sitting inside.

"It's bad! The plan failed!"

Dionysus: "?"

Failed?

Dionysus, who was pouring himself a drink and preparing to continue entering a drunken state, paused, a look of confusion flashing in his eyes.

However, noticing Filvis's monster-like appearance and her tattered, blood-stained clothes, he soon reacted.

"What happened!"

Dionysus asked with a frown: "When you went to the Demeter Familia to catch people, did you run into Ottar?"

"It wasn't Ottar."

Filvis shook her head: "It's the captain of the Astrea Familia, that Red Flower of Justice."

"Astrea Familia?"

Dionysus was stunned: "Filvis, are you... hurt your head during the battle?"

"Lord Dionysus! My brain is not a problem."

After understanding the potential meaning of the other party, Filvis's expression became a little irritable.

"I did encounter all the members of the Astrea Familia and was forced to retreat."

"Okay, then I will assume that the Astrea Familia has come back to life."

Dionysus changed the subject: "But if I remember correctly, the strongest of the Astrea Familia is only Level 4, right?"

"Even if the other party faked death and lurked for a few years, they can only be promoted to Level 5 at most."

"Coupled with rare skills, the Astrea Familia is the limit to deal with Level 6, how did they defeat you?"

It can't be that they really promoted several top-level Level 6s without a sound while lurking, that would be a bit exaggerated.

"I don't know what happened."

Just when Dionysus made the worst plan, Filvis gave an answer that exceeded his expectations.

"After the war started, white light spots suddenly appeared on the Red Flower of Justice, and her strength increased greatly."

"I am not her opponent, and I was defeated directly in two or three moves. If I hadn't found the opportunity, I might even have been left there."

Dionysus: "......"

This is really a broken brain, right?
