Chapter 676

"Although the Status Board granted by any god's Falna looks the same, updating the Status can only be done by the god who bestowed the Falna."

"In other words, unless Miss Liliruca doesn't plan to raise any stats at all, this is a problem she will have to face staying in the Hestia Familia."

The dog person girl Naza walked over, taking up the One-Eyed Craftsman Tsuna's words, and said.

"Ah, then what do we do?"

Bell, acting like a straight man, asked.

"So, just hiding her isn't enough; the important thing is still to settle the Soma Familia behind this child."

Hephaestus concluded.

"No problem, I'll take advantage of the night color tonight and go settle the Soma Familia."

Hearing this, Broly immediately chimed in, speaking seriously.

"Wait, what kind of 'settle' are you talking about?"

Hephaestus felt something was off and hurriedly asked.

"Naturally, this kind of 'settle'."

The Saiyan boy raised a Thumb Up, and made a throat-slitting gesture on his own Neck.

"Ah, you want your Goddess, my close friend Hestia, to become the Main God (Boss) of Orario's new generation Dark Faction?!"

Hephaestus was somewhat at a loss whether to cry or laugh.

"Rest assured, Hephaestus-sama, when the time comes I'll wear Nightwear, cover my face, and go do this kind of dirty work, guaranteed not to let anyone see through my Real Identity."

Broly also knows dirty work must be done secretly; if not done secretly, then leave no survivors, as long as there are no Witnesses, no one can prove it was him who settled everyone in the Soma Familia.

"So, you intend to settle the God Soma too and send him back to Heaven?"

"No, I hadn't thought of that."

Broly shook his head; he could also see Lili's attitude toward the God Soma.

In the list of people to settle in the Soma Familia, there is no killing the God-sama who doesn't manage Familia affairs.

"Then he's a Witness, oh no, should say a Witness God."

"I'll cover my face."

"Masking and disguise are useless; gods look at the Soul, and your Soul, frankly, is very distinctive, heavy yet Brilliant; any god could likely distinguish your Existence in a Crowd easily, unless you can make Soma completely not See you when settling the Soma Familia.

Uh, no, even if you can make him not discover your whereabouts, just kill everyone in the Soma Familia, that still can't be done.

Hestia is a Good God, not an Evil God; this kind of exterminating an entire clan, no matter when, must never be done!"

Hephaestus said with a bit of a headache; Hestia nodded in agreement beside her at her friend's words, Broly became somewhat troubled, the simplest way to settle the Soma Familia unexpectedly couldn't be used.

"Don't have too heavy a killing intent; there are still many ways to settle it."

Hephaestus comforted.

"For example?"

Broly looked over.

"For example, we can go persuade the True God Soma himself, get him to agree to transfer Liliruca from the Soma Familia to the Hestia Familia."

"Eh, Hephaestus-sama, changing Familia is something that can be done too?"

Bell asked in surprise.

"Whether it can be done mainly depends on whether the Familia God is willing to let go; in my case, if my Familia children come to me and propose they don't want to stay in my Familia anymore, I generally respect those children's choices and let them leave."

"What about Soma-sama?"

"Don't know, every god's personality is different; Soma is relatively reclusive among gods, I don't know much about his situation."

Hephaestus shrugged her Shoulders, looking toward Liliruca: "But perhaps, this child knows her own God's situation clearly."

Liliruca nodded and said: "Soma-sama is a taciturn God, he never reproaches anyone, but currently the one responsible for Soma Familia affairs is the Regiment Commander Chanes Lustra; that guy once said, if anyone wants to break free from the Soma Familia, they must at least earn Ten Million Valis for the Familia."

This is also the reason the Pallum girl keeps saving money; as long as she gathers Ten Million Valis, she can gain Freedom.

"Uh……"

The Pallum girl finished speaking, and besides the dog person girl Naza, everyone looked over with Subtle eyes.

"What's wrong, did Lili say something wrong again?"

The Pallum girl asked in a bit of a panic.

"No, nothing, just that problems solvable with money, for us Hestia Familia, are not problems at all."

The Loli Goddess Waved Hand; even though she hasn't repaid her own shop-burning debt, that is her own debt as a Goddess, it doesn't mean the Hestia Familia has no Familia Funds.

"Ah, right~"

Hearing this, Liliruca only then belatedly Reacted, remembering Broly's money-making speed that surpasses ordinary Adventurers.

Even just following him herself, if not for the Kanu incident forcing her to drink Divine Wine, she probably could have earned Ten Million Valis in three months to exchange for her own free body.

"This money I'll pay, for you Lili, very worth it."

Broly directly stated his position; the Pallum girl's eyes showed affection, looking over.

"The only problem is, will that Regiment Commander of the Soma Familia really take the money and let her go?"

The dog person girl Naza proposed the final question.

"God Soma doesn't manage; the manager is the other side; to manage the Soma Familia into its current state, the Soma Familia's Regiment Commander is absolutely not a good thing."

Tsuna asserted.

Liliruca: "……"

She really had no way to refute; thinking about it now, is it really true that her Familia Regiment Commander Chanes Lustra said, earn Ten Million Valis and hand it to the Familia, and she can leave the Familia?

Before she just grabbed this only hope, but thinking now, it feels extremely Unreliable; to be able to turn the Familia Wind Qi into a state of swindling and deceit, how much credibility does that guy Chanes's words really have?

Afraid he'll take the money and not do the job, or see profit and temporarily raise the price on the spot, treating her as a money-making tool too.

"Haha, if the Soma Familia's Regiment Commander takes money and doesn't deliver, wants to renege, then we'll just help the Soma Familia change Regiment Commanders."

Hestia thought for a moment, then suddenly said, and this kind of thing, her Hestia Familia (Broly) isn't unable to do.

It's just that after doing this kind of thing, Hestia Familia's low-key nature will cease to exist, and Orario will absolutely have a group of idle, bored Gods with nothing to do but compare whose Familia members are more excellent, who will cast curious, interested gazes toward her newly established Hestia Familia.

But let them pay attention, she (Hestia) has now accepted this child Broly's confession, is this child's destined future wife, and the one with the highest status, the mistress of the household.

Hestia feels she has become terrifyingly strong, because she is no longer afraid her own boy might be abducted by other Gods with ulterior motives.

And something like a sense of superiority needs to be produced through comparison.

When in the Heavens, all Gods could use their own Divine Power to achieve whatever they wished within their own divine authority, therefore, everyone was the same.

But upon reaching the Lower World, with the agreement not to use Divine Power, then a sense of superiority is born from things outside oneself, yet closely connected to oneself.

That's right, it's the Familia children.

There's a saying, isn't there? To not return home in wealth and honor is like walking at night in embroidered clothes.

Similarly, if a God has excellent Familia children but doesn't bring them out to properly show off to other Gods, that is also the behavior of walking at night in embroidered clothes.

The Loli Goddess only feels her desire to show off is extremely flourishing; if there's a suitable opportunity, she doesn't mind announcing to the Gods of Orario: Look, this is my Familia's child (Broly), see how outstanding he is!

"Take money but don't do the job, then replace the Familia Regiment Captain?"

Hephaestus pondered for a bit, then nodded.

"This is indeed feasible; anyway, according to what Liliruca said, the God Soma doesn't manage things at all, so operating externally to replace him with a Regiment Captain who obeys and does the job for money, there's indeed nothing wrong with that."

"Wait, since we can even replace Soma Familia's Regiment Captain, why don't we make Lili into Soma Familia's Regiment Captain?"

Broly suddenly spoke up.

"Ah?!"

Hearing this, everyone around opened their mouths wide.

"Broly-san, you want me to be Soma Familia's Regiment Captain?"

Liliruca pointed at her own nose, somewhat doubting her ears had heard wrong.

"Yeah, instead of worrying whether that Regiment Captain will take money and not do the job, better to assume from the start he won't do the job and replace him.

Compared to putting someone else up there, better to put you up there; this way, Soma Familia will be under your control, and the problem of Capability updates won't need to be worried about at all.

And the possible troublesome matters from me selling Soma Familia members twice on this side, also won't need to be worried about, because the God Soma doesn't manage things, and you, having become Soma Familia's Regiment Captain, likewise won't pursue it.

Hmm, this is a win-win, we win twice on this side."

Broly said as a matter of course.

"But, can I do it?"

Liliruca showed a troubled expression.

"I know my own abilities; my Level is only Lv. 1, my Capability values are poor, even if Broly-san you deal with the current Soma Familia Regiment Captain, I want to promote to the position of Soma Familia Regiment Captain, Soma Familia's other members definitely won't agree either."

"Then I'll just deal with the ones who don't agree too."

"If they all don't agree, Broly, you're still prepared to deal with all of them?"

"Yes, deal with all of them."

"If you really deal with all the ones who don't agree, that's basically no different from taking advantage of the night color to go settle Soma Familia right now."

Hephaestus started complaining.

"Hmm, forging iron still requires one's own body to be hard; if you can help Liliruca increase her Strength, let her be able to hold down the scene herself, that would be a pretty good method."

The Red-haired Goddess spoke again.

"Help Lili increase Strength?"

Broly thought for a bit, then nodded.

"I can try."

"Eh, you really want to do it like this?"

"Can't I?"

"It's not that you can't, but a thorough plan needs to be formulated."

"Then let's start formulating the plan now; as for the plan name, let's call it……"

Broly paused for a moment, then gave out the information that surfaced in his mind.

"The weak adapt to the environment, the strong change the environment, prop Lili up to become Soma Familia's new Spearhead."

The Saiyan proposed the plan, the two Goddesses indicated recognition, a group of people gathered together, contributing their Wisdom.

The Dog Person girl Naza felt it was somewhat strange, originally wanted to be a transparent person, but helplessly the Goddess mentioned the Divine Wine addiction problem.

"Chanisi controls Soma Familia's bottom-level members through Divine Wine; to break the control over bottom-level members, a way must be found to suppress those people's alcohol addiction.

As long as the alcohol addiction is suppressed, the bottom-level Familia members who are similarly exploited in Soma Familia will become targets Lili can win over.

But this isn't easy to do; however, Miach is a God proficient in Pharmacology, even able to produce Panacea, so cracking the alcohol addiction brought by Divine Wine should also be no problem, right, Naza?"

"Naza, you're back, how was it, at Hestia Familia's Moving-in Celebration, did you eat well, eat your fill, properly convey my Congratulations to Hestia for her moving into a new residence?"

Midnight, the Dog Person girl returned to Blue Pharmacy, and the Male God Miach who had already returned to the Pharmacy and still hadn't slept, was still making medicine, directly asked.

"Uh, Lord Miach, I congratulated her, just……"

The Dog Person girl was somewhat reluctant, but still reported to her own God Lord the things that happened at Hestia Familia's side tonight.

"Hestia-sama took in a Pallum girl suffering oppression in Soma Familia, and now she and her Familia are plotting to move against Soma Familia for that Pallum girl."

"Worthy of Hestia, although in the Heavens she was a shut-in God, she's still very responsible; matters within her divine authority, absolutely no ambiguity."

After hearing, Miach nodded, obviously agreeing with friend Hestia's behavior of wanting to protect other Familia children, although it's against the rules.

"Lord Miach."

The Dog Person girl bit her lip, then took out the Divine Wine from her pocket.

"Hestia-sama also wants to ask you to develop a medicine to suppress alcohol addiction."

When asked whether Miach (her own God) could do it (create a hangover cure), the dog-girl with a troubled expression was somewhat provoked by the evaluation of "Ah, so Miach can't do it?", and on impulse the dog-girl said: "Lord Miach is omnipotent; the mere alcohol addiction brought by Lord Soma's Divine Wine, as long as there is the actual Divine Wine, let me bring it back for Lord Miach to research, and he will definitely be able to research it out in one go."

"I am very sorry, I said such words and brought you trouble."

The dog-girl drooped her ears and tail, apologizing to her own Lord God.

"Hah, what trouble is this, isn't it just cracking Soma's Divine Wine, the alcohol addiction brought to the children (mortals)?

You've even brought the actual Divine Wine, if I still can't research it out, that would only prove my (pharmacological) technique is only at this degree.

Inferior skill is not shameful, but if I can do it, Hestia shouldn't let me do it for nothing either, right?"

"Yes, Lady Hestia gave a quote of ten million Valis."

Naza nodded; although this money could not pay off their Familia's current debts, it was definitely a substantial income.

"Rather than letting unknown guys (Soma's current Regiment Captain Chanisi) earn the money, better to let my good friend Miach earn it."

These were Hestia's original words of generous spending, and also the reason the dog-girl afterwards could not bring herself to refuse; Hestia's Familia had simply promised too much.

"Then it's settled."

"But Lord Miach, Lady Hestia and Lord Hephaestus are secretly plotting to interfere in another Familia's affairs, won't this bring trouble to our Familia?"

After formulating the plan on how to deal with Soma Familia, Lady Hestia had even summarized the planning meeting.

Calling it a Three Familia Alliance meeting, meaning Hestia Familia taking the lead, Hephaestus Familia and Miach Familia assisting, a joint operation of three Familias.

But this kind of matter is considerably troublesome; once Soma God reports to the Guild, letting their Miach Familia be implicated and labeled as a Dark Faction, it's over.

"Naza, you child need not worry so much, there won't be any trouble. Not to mention Hestia only plans to do this secretly; even if she prepared to do it openly and came to request my help, I would still help her."

"Ah, Lord Miach, why?"

The dog-girl was somewhat confused, her fluffy tail swaying behind her butt; she was worried her own Lord God held feelings of love for that Loli Goddess.

If that were the case, she must tell her own Lord God that Lady Hestia already has an owner, cutting off this delusion.

"The first reason is, I believe what Hestia is doing is right (wanting to change Soma Familia's terrible atmosphere).

The second reason is, Hestia and I were Divine Friends with a fairly good relationship in Heaven; when a friend in difficulty comes to request my help, how can I refuse?"

"Then Lord Miach, do you harbor the kind of affection between man and woman for Lady Hestia?"

The dog-girl asked.

"Eh?"

Miach tilted his head, looking at his own Familia girl with some strangeness.

"Naza, what nonsense are you saying? Hestia is a famous Virgin Goddess; a friend is a Virgin Goddess, yet I as a friend harbor such thoughts toward my friend, wouldn't that be a defilement of our friendship?"

"But..."

The dog-girl's tail stiffened, and she blurted out the other important piece of news for Hestia Familia tonight.

That was Hestia accepted her own Familia boy's confession, and even agreed to that boy opening a harem on her.

This news broke, directly causing the noble-young-master-looking God Miach's mouth to gape open, a stunned expression, as if he hadn't expected a Divine Friend of many years to be such a Goddess.

"Ah, this Lower World really can change Gods; even a Virgin Goddess like Hestia, in such a short time, was changed into a state of wanting a romance."

Miach sighed with some emotion.

"Then what about you, Lord Miach, don't you want to have a romance?"

The dog-girl asked.

"Me?"

Miach blinked, then reached out to stroke the dog-girl's head.

"Haven't I already got one?"

The dog-girl Naza's face instantly turned red.

Leaving aside the Blue Pharmacy, this flirting interaction between God and mortal.

On Hestia Familia's side, after sending off Bell who had finished updating his status, Hestia called Broly into the room and began updating his status.

Hephaestus hadn't left yet; she prepared to take another look at the Treasure (UR) boy's latest status panel; although such a child wasn't hers, feasting her eyes was fine too.

Regarding this, Hestia also did not refuse her good friend's spectating; after all, Hephaestus was currently the only God who could show off Broly without any scruples.

Hestia still performed the silver needle pricking finger, blood finger dotting back operation as always, and Broly's status panel soon emerged.

The second status panel, the glorious 3S stats were still pleasing to the eye; although proficiency growth was lowered somewhat due to the increased excelia required for stats, it still grew fiercely, possibly breaking through to 4S stats in another two days.

Even without the sublimation of a Level Up, Broly is a proper super stat monster; it can be predicted that continuing to grow like this, this child can absolutely become the Strongest in History Lv. 1, unprecedented, and likely never to be surpassed.

Hephaestus dare not imagine, when this Lv. 1 child goes to subjugate the Black Dragon and succeeds, just how grand the limelight close friend Hestia will be able to steal.

At that time, once the boy's true Level Lv. 1 is made public, who knows how many Gods' worldviews will be shattered.

There may be countless Gods shouting "cheating, unfair" on one hand, while looking at Hestia with eyes of jealousy, envy, and hate on the other.

Thinking like this, Hephaestus smacked her lips; her close friend although putting herself on the line for the boy, holds in her hand the Lower World's satisfying game script.

Only need to patiently wait a period of time, let Broly this child develop and grow into a stat monster, then the satisfaction can begin.

And how long does this time need? Calculating by current excelia, roughly two months, and Broly's stats will average over ten thousand.

Hmm, Hephaestus originally thought this, until Hestia finished updating the second status panel and incidentally clicked to look at the first status panel, only then did Hephaestus feel she had underestimated, her imagination was too small.

"No way, your kid's growth potential is already absurd to this degree, and he can still gain a new skill that increases excelia acquisition rate? Is something wrong?"

Hephaestus retorted; if they hadn't been familiar for so long, she would suspect her close friend Hestia was a plant in this Lower World reality game.

One saw, on Broly's first status panel, another new skill appeared.

【You Are All My Wings】

Effect ①: Universal Love toward specific targets, will harbor natural goodwill toward certain specific opposite-sex targets.

Effect ②: Wings of Assistance, when expended emotion receives a response from the recipient of that emotion, gain an excelia acquisition rate bonus based on the degree of response, currently +105%.

Current Wing Members: Hestia, Liliruca Arde...
