Chapter 796: Unlocking the Experience Dungeon, Freya Familia Battle Wilderness

~14 min read 2,679 words

"So, why does the Guild protect monsters in secret? Even if they are monsters possessing intelligence and rationality..."

After hearing Fels's introduction, Loki directly raised her hand and posed this question.

"This is because Lord Uranus wants to find a balance point, wants to explore the possibility of coexistence between the people of the surface world and the intelligent monsters possessing the Dungeon."

At this stage, Fels naturally had no reason to conceal anything; she directly explained the reason for the Guild secretly protecting the Heretics and providing assistance for the Heretics' continued existence.

"Utterly foolish to the extreme."

Just as the words of Miss Fool fell, the blond Male God Dionysus, sitting on Loki's right side, directly expressed his own opinion on God Uranus's idea of seeking a path of coexistence.

"My children died in the Dungeon; the ones who killed them were those damn intelligent monsters. Asking me to support Uranus's idea, to agree to coexist with the monsters in the Dungeon — hah, absolutely impossible!"

"God Dionysus, regarding your children dying in the Dungeon, I express deep regret; however, the ones who killed your children were absolutely not the Heretics we secretly support, the intelligent monsters you think of, but rather another group of 【Abnormal People】 with Magic Stones embedded in their bodies."

"What difference does it make? Aren't they all intelligent monsters?"

"Miss Fels, what's wrong?"

Just as Dionysus was questioning Fels, Lefiya noticed the White Shrine Maiden beside her, whose complexion seemed a bit off.

"I'm fine, Lefiya, thank you."

Fels shook her head, paused for a moment, then asked in a small voice.

"How do you view the Heretics?"

"Uh..."

Lefiya didn't expect to be asked this question; she thought for a bit, then answered in a small voice.

"At first there was some vigilance, fear, and worry, but after getting along for two days, Miss Vini is still very cute, and she hasn't harmed Miss Ais, so I feel it's okay."

"Then, what if it were an Abnormal Person with a Magic Stone inside their body?"

The White Shrine Maiden asked again.

Just then, Fels also answered Dionysus's question: "The difference lies only in that one will wantonly harm people, while the other will restrain their own desire to attack and will not easily harm people."

"Just as Miss Fels said, I feel this still depends on whether they will actively harm people; if they won't, then I feel I can accept Abnormal People too."

"Sounds nice, but who can say for sure whether they'll harm people or not?

What if in the future, after you all facilitate the surface children accepting the matter of intelligent monsters.

One day, those intelligent monsters suddenly go berserk, it would cause an unimaginable disaster.

So, no matter what you say, I absolutely will not support the idea of your Guild's Main God, Uranus."

Dionysus expressed his stance first.

"Then, God Dionysus, will you become an obstacle on Lord Uranus's path of exploring coexistence?"

In response, Fels did not continue to persuade, merely inquired.

"What, if I say yes, what does your Guild intend to do? Eliminate me and my Familia, and even other opposing people and gods, from Orario?"

As Dionysus spoke, he looked at the two other Goddesses beside him.

"Hey hey hey, Dionysus, you guy better not randomly instigate; I haven't decided yet whether I support or oppose!"

Loki said with a laugh; she, who often stirred up trouble in Heaven, wouldn't fall for someone else's instigation and sowing discord, that set of tricks.

"Please rest assured, God Dionysus; Lord Uranus is not a god who acts arbitrarily, and he also never believes his own ideas are definitely correct; that Lord is merely exploring a better future that might be realized, so the Guild will not do things to eliminate dissidents; of course, it also lacks the capacity to do so."

Fels replied neither humbly nor arrogantly.

Hearing this, the blond Male God revealed an ill-intentioned smile: "In that case, what if I step out and publicly expose the matter of the Heretics? What will your Guild, what will Uranus do?"

"Very simple: we will directly deny the existence of the Heretics, and give you and your Familia, who spread rumors, the punishment for fabricating rumors and releasing false information.

Hmm, God Dionysus, although I, representing the Guild, representing Lord Uranus, invited you here today and confessed the matter of the Heretics to you, once you leave this door, the Guild will not acknowledge a single word I said here.

As for you wanting to catch me, or record a Magic Stone Recording as so-called evidence, that is also useless, because my code name in the Guild is 【Ghost】, meaning a non-existent Employee; at most you'll find out I'm a temp worker for the Guild, but at that time, the Guild will directly make a righteous cut with me."

"Looks like the Guild's side is quite well-prepared too!"

"Not well-prepared, merely a contingency plan for the worst-case scenario."

Fels said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"Fine, although I don't support Uranus's idea of seeking a path of coexistence with monsters, I also won't specially step out to oppose him.

However, this isn't because the Guild is watertight that I say this; it's just that my children and the children here have a good relationship.

If I stepped out to oppose, it would undoubtedly bring trouble to the Hestia Familia, who have already expressed support for this matter.

I don't want my own behavior to bring the stigma of betraying friends to my own children..."

Dionysus glanced to the side, at the White Shrine Maiden who was looking at him with some nervousness.

"As for whether you can persuade the other two not to step out in opposition, that I don't know."

He guided the topic toward the two other gods, then closed his mouth and stopped speaking.

Dionysus also wanted to see just what kind of stance Loki, equally restless in Heaven, would express.

If it could bring trouble to Uranus, all the better.

"Support or oppose, I have to ask my own children's opinions; you don't mind waiting until I finish asking before expressing your stance, right?"

"Lord Loki, please feel free."

Fels had no objection.

"Good, then Ais, you speak your opinion first."

The Clown Goddess nodded, then looked at the Sword Princess girl beside her, calling on her to speak first.

Ais was stunned for a moment, but still answered honestly: "I feel that if intelligent monsters don't harm people, they can coexist peacefully."

"Eh?!"

The Sword Princess girl's concise words made Finn and the others who had come to Hearth Manor with Loki very surprised.

"I thought this kid would give the answer that all monsters should be killed."

Loki's narrowed eyes opened a bit wider.

"If it were me from three days ago, I definitely would have said that."

Ais did not avoid the question, nodding to acknowledge it.

"What was it that made my little Ais change her view?"

Loki was somewhat curious.

"Broly entrusted me to look after the Heretic we encountered..."

Ais did not directly say Vini's name.

"In getting along with the other party, I discovered that the other party is also an existence with flesh and blood and tears."

Of course, if not for Cassandra's prophetic dream, advance knowledge of the Dragon Knight prophecy, if not for Broly's firm stance not to harm Vini, with Ais's personality, she most likely would not have gone to understand a monster's situation.

She would either have cut Vini down as an ordinary monster upon meeting, or let the little guy be arrested by the poachers chasing from behind.

And not like now, where some change in view has occurred toward a monster with intelligence.

"Then, Finn and Riveria, what are your views?"

"Reasonably speaking, as Adventurers, we should not sympathize with monsters, regardless of whether that monster has intelligence or not."

Finn explained the principle first.

"However, as Captain of the Loki Familia, I also need to consider the actual situation, especially when Familia members who originally held extreme views on monsters now hold positive views toward monsters with intelligence and rationality."

"Hmm, I also need to actively listen to the Familia members' views."

"I think Vini is a good kid."

Hearing this, Tiona hurriedly raised her hand, stating her view.

"I believe in Ais's judgment."

Riveria, living up to her name as Ais's foster mother, unconditionally supported her foster daughter.

Of course, Broly also accounts for a certain reason in this, just not as much as Ais.

Loki looked at Lefiya again; the elf girl was just about to speak when Loki directly waved her hand.

"Forget it, Lefiya, you don't need to speak, I heard you all whispering in the back just now."

Lefiya: "..."

The elf girl's face couldn't help but redden.

"As it stands, my Familia kids seem to be supportive, so I have a result on this end too."

"Wait..."

"Finn, do you still have something?"

"We few cannot represent the entire Familia, and based on people's general views on monsters, I believe that even if supportive, it can only be by tacit permission for the time being."

"Miss Fels, we cannot openly stand out to support Lord Uranus's idea before the public's view on monsters changes, but if you need help and it is only in the dark, our Familia can provide assistance within our ability."

As Captain of a major Familia, and one with heavy personal utilitarianism at that, this stance already counts as very supportive.

"Finn's attitude is my attitude."

Regarding this, Loki had no intention of undermining him, merely turning her gaze toward Hephaestus.

"Hmm, same for me."

Hephaestus directly stated her stance, and she really had nothing much to say on her end.

The marriage is already done, the bed already shared.

Hestia had also pulled her aside to whisper a bit just now.

Learning that Broly's Encounter Targets included a Monster Girl, knowing the Wing Skill situation, could she possibly stand out to oppose?

However, jumping out to support won't do either; after all, her Familia is also a large group, even a God needs to consider her own kids' thoughts, not every God is selfish, Hephaestus can only provide limited help, not enough to be told to outsiders.

Dionysus: "..."

【Is Orario's tolerance for monsters this high now?】

Not knowing Broly's Wings, not knowing Broly and Hephaestus's private relationship, he had only this thought in his heart.

"Thank you all."

Fels bowed to everyone; the situation before her eyes simply could not be better.

Besides God Ganesha, the number of Main Gods standing on Uranus's side has increased again.

Among them, one is even one of the Main Gods of Orario's top-tier Familia.

And this is all thanks to Broly; the people and gods before her are basically all connections of that Saiyan boy.

Of course, Miss Fool does not know that the Saiyan boy has settled not only Loki, but also Freya, who is not on scene but also knows about Little Dragon Girl Wenyi.

This Beauty Goddess's mood is extremely pleasant; the snacks she personally made were eaten clean by the Saiyan boy, and she even received praise.

"Compared to before, the snacks you made for me to eat, your craftsmanship has improved a lot, the taste of the snacks is even more delicious."

"Delicious, then eat more~"

In the end, Broly both ate and took, carrying a pile of snacks personally made by Freya, and returned to the Familia Residence.

When he returned, the reception at Hearth Manor had also ended; settling accounts with Miss Fool, they discovered both had obtained results relatively satisfactory to themselves.

"Broly, what is this?"

"It's Strawberry Cake, is it delicious?"

"Mhm, delicious, Vini likes it."

"Then eat more, this was personally made by Lady Freya."

"Lady Freya?"

"A God just like Lady Hestia."

"Then she must be a good person."

"How so?"

"She gave you, Broly, so much, so much delicious food."

Little Dragon Girl ate with her face full of cream, yet while eating she spoke a lot of praise for the Beauty Goddess.

The next day, when Broly went to the Battle Wilderness and fulfilled the Daily Delight promise.

This Beauty Goddess, Freya, had the Saiyan youth bring back even more delicious sweets.

Clearly, through the Amulet's peeping, Freya was praised into comfort by Little Dragon Girl.

And compared to their own Goddess's cheerful mood, the Freya Familia members' moods were somewhat low.

Same as yesterday, this group suffered the humiliation of being knocked unconscious head-on.

Even though they were prepared, they still had absolutely no power to fight back.

"The feeling he gives me is just like in the past, the heroes and empress I once faced..."

The hero and empress were respectively the Captains of the Zeus Familia and Hera Familia.

One Lv. 8, one Lv. 9.

In his youth, Ottar once challenged the two, and unsurprisingly was beaten severely.

Until the two Familias' Black Dragon Subjugation ended in defeat, the hero and empress both perished, and he never got his revenge.

He thought that in this lifetime, he would never encounter anyone stronger than those two monsters in his memory.

As a result, the youth favored by Lady Freya opened his eyes.

Whether battle technique or Status Value, Broly gives people an oppressively strong feeling.

But what makes people feel even more despair is the other party's growth speed...

"He's more powerful than yesterday."

For three consecutive days, Ottar finally confirmed this point: each day the Saiyan youth who came to fight them was stronger than the previous day's opponent.

As if defeating this group of people much weaker than him, the other party could obtain massive Excelia, and his Status could even grow continuously as if without limits.

And the fact is indeed so: the Freya Familia's Battle Wilderness is like a daily Experience Dungeon; clearly he went to please Freya, but the Status Growth Broly himself harvested was even greater than when he Dungeon Dives to farm monsters.

In just three days, Broly's originally 21s Status directly soared to 27s.

It's very obvious, the high-level Adventurers on the Freya Familia side provided him with considerably massive Overleveling Defeat experience.

Falna's judgment of great deeds is extremely strict, but in terms of Excelia acquisition it is very rigid: however much it should be, that's how much it is.

Broly's surface level is Lv. 1; fighting anyone here is Overleveling; although no killing occurred, defeat seems to grant Excelia just the same.

"Everyone, good morning, today is another day with nice weather, eh, why do you all look so pale?"

After Amide and Haize, these two Top-tier Healers, joined, the Magic Laboratory's Remains Restoration research made great progress; Broly's mood was very good; therefore, upon arriving at the Freya Familia Battle Wilderness and seeing a group of Pale Face people, he couldn't help but ask curiously.

"You think this is whose fault?"

Hedin said displeasedly.

"It couldn't possibly be my fault, right..."

Broly's voice gradually grew quieter, only because the group before him fell silent, staring at him with Dead Fish Eyes.

Getting beaten every day, and watching the person beating them get stronger like a rocket; Ottar and the others not being beaten into autism already counts as extremely strong Mental Strength.

"Right, you wanted to display martial prowess before Lady Freya, right? That I can actually help with."

"Help by knocking us unconscious?"

"Uh, no, but training guidance for you, to make you get stronger."

"Eh?!"

"I've guided the Loki Familia before, including the Brave Captain; battle record verifiable. Don't know what you all think?"

Hearing this, the Cat Person youth Allen immediately swallowed; he followed Freya precisely for powerful strength, right?

The Freya Familia group didn't hesitate long before agreeing.

Well, actually they had no choice.

Either get knocked unconscious, or try accepting the other's guidance, get stronger, then get knocked unconscious.

The former gains nothing; the latter, at least still has a hope of getting stronger dangling ahead.
