Chapter 181: New Title, Sword Saint? Duel King?
Babel Tower, High Floors.
The Denatus was convened again. This was a meeting that the gods would hold every once in a while.
Besides allowing everyone to meet and chat regularly, it was also to jointly discuss various issues.
For example, the future development of Orario, the planning of the adventurers in this city, and creating new titles for the members of various Familias.
"It's said to be a regular meeting of the gods, but in reality, it's just an ordinary chat room. As long as it's fun and can pass the time, it doesn't matter where the meeting is held."
Takemikazuchi sighed. In the Denatus, most of the gods were basically not concerned with the construction of Orario.
As long as it was fun.
"Indeed, this is just a way for everyone to pass the time."
Without too much deep-seated hatred, the conflicts between the gods were basically limited to the stage of quarrels. Situations like completely annihilating a god or even their Familia were basically zero.
In fact, the mutual appreciation among the gods also led to basically no gods having ever died.
Hestia looked at the people beside her, "I have a reason I must come today, and that is the matter of Liam's title!"
Previously, when Liam was on his expedition, she had asked for Liam's suggestion and already had a decision in her heart.
And that was—Sword Saint!
The current Liam was fully worthy of this title.
Even if he was only Lv4, Liam's achievements and strength were real. No one dared to question their authenticity.
In Hestia's view, just being able to single-handedly kill the thirty-seventh floor lord was enough for his strength to take this title.
Hephaestus came to Hestia's side and sat down, looking at the other with envy.
"Hestia, I'm really so envious of you. That guy Liam actually became a member of your Familia. If only he were a member of my Familia.
This way we could forge together and develop new duel cards together!"
Hestia looked at the other party with some worry, "What are you talking about? Liam would never go to your Familia."
"Just kidding. How could I snatch Liam from you? But, after his expedition ends, I will proactively look for him.
His creativity is really beyond my imagination."
Not long after, Ganesha, wearing a half-face mask with an elephant face, ascended the high platform and shouted in an emotional voice.
In his hand was a short, rod-shaped microphone inlaid with a magic stone. Using the magic stone as a power source, it amplified the sound through the magic stone and the magic rune circuits on the short rod.
"I am Ganesha! I will be the host of this great assembly of the gods. Let's begin!"
The gods below responded unhurriedly.
"Next, regarding Bell's new title, it will be changed to Lucky Rabbit!"
Bell's previous title was Little Rookie. And ever since he had won a huge amount of gambling funds at the Grand Casino.
The nickname Lucky Rabbit gradually became known to everyone.
This time, being able to get the title of Lucky Rabbit was also a tacit understanding among the gods.
At the very least, those gods who liked to go to the casino for entertainment were very fond of Bell's strong luck.
This title was just right to form a good relationship with Bell.
Not long after, it was directly Liam's turn for the naming matter.
"So, it's time for the much-anticipated naming of the Hestia Familia's Liam!"
As soon as Ganesha paused, the gods below all became excited.
"It's finally here! I've been looking forward to Liam's new title!"
"Me too, me too. This guy Liam's strength improves really too fast! He was just Lv2 not long ago, how did he become Lv4 in the blink of an eye?"
"I remember they just had a naming ceremony for Liam not long ago!"
"This speed of strength improvement is really ridiculously fast!"
It wasn't just one god who had this sentiment, but most of the gods had the same thought.
But seeing Liam improve so quickly, there were naturally those who were envious and those who were jealous.
Such an astonishing speed of improvement would naturally stir up huge waves and controversies.
Just as everyone was marveling at Liam's potential and upgrade speed, Freya raised her hand.
"May I express an opinion?"
Freya's action directly attracted the attention of a large number of gods.
"For real? Lady Freya is actually going to express an opinion? Could it be that she has her eyes on Sword Soul Liam?"
"What's wrong? Has she directly become a fan of Liam?"
"Let alone Lady Freya, even I have already become a fan of Liam!
The Duel King game is really too much fun. As long as you have a deck of cards, you can completely play with others from day to night!"
Freya showed an elegant smile and generously admitted the other's guess.
"That's right. When I saw Liam conjure a sword blade out of thin air at the banquet before, I had already become his fan.
Plus the duel card he custom-made for me, it also made my heart flutter!"
"Ooh~!"
Freya's statement directly ignited the atmosphere of the venue. Everyone became excited.
"One can only say, as expected of Sword Soul Liam. Even Lady Freya has become his fan."
"Just being able to create the Duel King cards, how many of us gods don't like it?
Anyway, I really super like Liam."
Hearing Freya express her opinion on Liam, Hestia prepared to mock the other party properly.
Liam was her, Hestia's, child. How could she let others touch him?
"Freya~ A goddess like you must have thought of a great nickname for 'my' Liam, right?"
"Of course, Hestia. Let's name him the Goddess of Beauty's Companion! How about that?"
Freya's left hand supported her cheek. A blush appeared on her cheeks, and her eyes looked forward.
She seemed to be imagining Liam's "happy" expression after hearing this title.
"Oh~"
"I remember Lady Freya has never been in a relationship until now, nor has she had any male companions.
Could it be that this time, she has taken a fancy to Sword Soul Liam?"
"It's really possible. But the key is that Liam and Lady Freya are not in the same Familia.
So what should be done?"
The gods present all became excited. Regarding giving adventurers nicknames, they all treated it as an interesting pastime.
It's like adventurers, if they only used names to address each other, it would be very difficult to remember.
Giving a nickname was naturally to facilitate the memory of adventurers and other gods.
Of course, if the nickname could vividly summarize the person's characteristics and abilities, that would naturally be the best.
But, the gods, one by one, were all the type to not mind a bigger spectacle.
Naturally, they would name them however they pleased.
Hearing the title Freya came up with, Hestia got anxious.
She stood up directly, "Hey, hey, hey, what companion are you talking about! Liam is my dependant!"
"Are you not satisfied?"
"Fre! Ya! Where is the element that I like in this! What kind of joke are you making?"
"As expected of a lovesick fool, so tasteless."
Loki squinted her eyes, her legs propped up on the table, her hands behind her head, leaning against the chair.
Then she looked at Hestia with a grin, "If it were me, I would name him The Jester's Toy!" "Why is it on the premise of becoming your toy!"
Hestia was so angry she stomped her foot directly. But upon seeing that the shoes on her feet were a gift from Liam, she hurriedly stopped.
Although she was angry, the shoes Liam gave her were obviously more precious.
"Give me a proper name, okay!"
"I've thought of one. How about calling him Duel King? He's the one who created the unprecedented gameplay of duel cards.
And, I saw him use a duel card in real combat before.
This epoch-making new gameplay, I think this title is very reasonable."
Hephaestus stood up and proposed a very proper title.
Hestia breathed a sigh of relief. Although it wasn't Sword Saint, it was at least a relatively normal title.
"Liam, I want to marry you!"
"Bridal Sword Soul!"
"This is so funny!"
"But Lady Freya is angry."
At this time, although Freya still had a smile on her face, her aura had clearly become very dangerous.
The gods sitting around Freya, especially the male ones, could very clearly feel the surrounding atmosphere becoming extremely dangerous.
It's bad. We might be in mortal danger.
At this time, would it be better to run away immediately?
But they couldn't run away. Many of the male gods still wanted to sit around Lady Freya and look at Freya more.
"Cutie Pie! I quite like this name."
"Are there any other names? How about Body of a Thousand Loves?"
Hestia's face completely darkened.
"Enough, enough! You guys, don't go too far! Liam is not a toy for you guys!"
The young woman couldn't take it anymore. She was about to rush out of her seat and fight with those heckling gods!
It was just that Takemikazuchi immediately held her back. On this occasion, with Hestia's small frame, going to fight would be too much of a disadvantage.
"Don't be angry. Even if you get angry and go fight, you can't beat them."
"Takemikazuchi!"
Hestia sat down angrily, her gaze sweeping over the crowd.
"I don't care. Liam's new title must be called Sword Saint! Whoever dares to object, I'll write down your names.
For the God Cards that are released later, I'll have Liam draw your pictures to be particularly ugly.
As ugly as possible."
This one sentence completely scared most of the gods.
"This kind of thing is absolutely not allowed! I'm begging you, Lady Hestia!"
Gods have almost immortal lifespans, so for them, most gods care very much about their reputation.
Especially the so-called God Cards. This kind of thing could be passed down for at least dozens or hundreds of years.
If well-maintained, it was no problem for each God Card to be passed down for several hundred or even a thousand years.
Its gameplay, one would not get tired of it for at least several thousand years.
So, once an ugly picture of a God Card was made like this, many thin-skinned gods would definitely not be able to accept it.
Soon, the new nickname for Liam was decided just like that.
And that was—Sword Saint.
...
In the Dungeon.
Liam and the others continued to advance. Marie sat up straight by the river.
"Everyone, I'm going to release my ability."
Liam and the others immediately covered their ears, and then a huge sound suddenly spread out towards the surroundings.
Immediately after, the river immediately became turbulent, and a violent tremor came from the ground.
The ground, walls, and ceiling all began to show cracks.
Wien looked at the scale of this time in surprise, "Liam, I might have attracted something."
"Don't worry, there is no existence on this floor that I can't deal with. During our expedition before, I solo-killed the thirty-seventh floor lord."
"Then I'm relieved."
Wien breathed a sigh of relief, and then hurriedly jumped out of the water, and then moved her fish tail, hiding in the middle of everyone.
Her land movement was inconvenient, but only compared to human legs.
The water surface boiled, and a large number of monsters emerged from the water.
The rubble on the ceiling cracked, and the earth showed cracks. The surrounding air let out a loud buzzing sound of flapping wings.
A rumbling sound of footsteps came from the distant earth.
And so a large number of monsters approached. Spear Dragonflies, flying mosquitoes, blue-shelled crabs, water snakes.
Liam, on the other hand, instantly drew his sword. One after another, sword auras spread out towards the surroundings at an astonishing speed.
"Everyone, fall back. Lure the water monsters onto the land."
"Yes!"
While Liam and the others were gradually retreating, several earth-burrowing worm-type monsters suddenly popped out of the ground.
Liam only had time to kill the one next to him. As for the ones that appeared near Lili and the others, he could only leave them to Ais and the others to deal with.
Worm monsters appearing around was only normal. The soil here was very moist.
Plus, when fishing in his previous life, as long as you dug around in the soil near the riverbank, it was very easy to dig out worms.
A cold white mist sword aura was released. A large number of approaching monsters were directly covered by it and turned into ice cubes.
If left alone, in less than ten seconds, the ice cubes would shatter, and the monsters inside would be frozen into a pile of minced meat, then turn into black mist and dissipate.
It was said that the skin necrosis caused by frostbite was very similar to the type of wound from a burn.
The three floors of the Great Azure Waterfall, almost every place visible to the naked eye, as long as a person could stand, would be accompanied by water.
About two minutes passed. All the approaching monsters around had been slain by Liam.
Lili also immediately put down the large backpack behind her, took out a sack, and immediately began to pick up the dropped items.
Generally, during a battle, Lili would also carry a backpack.
The front of the backpack had supplies like a wok for stir-frying, which had a strong defensive capability.
When she placed the dropped items, she would also store the materials with higher toughness around the perimeter.
This way, Lili's back could be completely protected. When encountering danger, she could also use the backpack as a shield.
While Lili continued to pick up the dropped items, Liam's communication magic stone rang.
Fels's voice came from it.
"Liam, your new title has been decided. It's called Sword Saint. Congratulations, it's a normal name."
Liam breathed a sigh of relief, "Is that so? Thank you so much, Fels."
Getting this new title, Liam only felt a strong motivation.
He had to grow even faster to make his own strength match this new title.
