Chapter 17 - Chapter 172: Anti-Magic Power?!

"Excuse me, Hestia-sama!"

Loud words sounded, and Yami, who led the three sisters, went straight into the Hestia family residence.

Hestia, who went home early, smiled again when she saw everyone coming.

"Welcome, Yami-kun, Kanae-chan, Shinobi-chan, and Kanao-chan, you are here!"

"Sorry to bother you again so late."

"No, the children have told me about this matter. I am very grateful to Yami-kun for your help to my children. It is really a great help."

When saying this, Hestia showed the most sincere gratitude on her face.

Especially when looking at Yami, there is a color of unknown meaning.

It is almost all the credit of the other party that she was able to set up a family and have so many outstanding children. Otherwise, she would still be nesting in the Hephaestus family.

No, to be precise, she has probably been kicked out by now and is sleeping on the street.

If that really happened, then as a god, she would definitely be laughed at by the gods.

"Hestia-sama, you are too kind, Kagaya and I are friends, and you and Hephaestus-sama are also very close god friends, so it doesn't matter if I help as much as I can.

"What's more, the help is not free. If I encounter any problems or difficulties in the future, Hestia-sama, you won't stand by and watch right?"

Yami had a deep smile on his face, and his words were full of ridicule.

Hestia's face also became slightly rosy, and after she glanced slightly pale, she responded: "Don't worry, no matter what difficulties you encounter, Yami-kun, we will help you without hesitation. It is a promise from the 'Goddess of Heart' Hestia!"

"Then I will remember this, if it is really necessary, I will not be polite."

Although they are not members of the Hestia family, the relationship between the two is quite good.

"Okay, no need to be serious, Hestia-sama, please let Kagaya and the others come out, all the materials that God Miach needs have been collected. Next, let's discuss it carefully!"

"Really? That would be great, I'm going to get them out!"

After the words fell, Hestia rushed into the backyard like a gust of wind.

Such an elated appearance immediately aroused the smiles of everyone in the front yard.

"Hestia-sama is really cute!"

Kanae couldn't help but smile.

Most of the original sense of awe towards the gods has dissipated now.

During the period of contact with several gods, they probably have already understood the situation of the gods, and most of them have no bad intentions.

To be precise, they are all able to become good friends with them.

"Yes, this is the gods. Although 'God loves the world' is not accurate, but if you can get their favor, you will be able to see their good side, and you will feel special joy at any time. This is probably the reason why Orario will become the center of the world."

"The reason why human beings want to become adventurers is not because they can become stronger, but because of the existence of gods they can get close to."

The contagious power of the gods is far greater than the human impression.

At least, Yami has gradually fallen in love with this kind of life. Although some gods are very unreliable in many times, it is probably because of this phenomenon that they will not become superior, but more down-to-earth!

After a while, dense footsteps sounded.

Looking back, they saw that the people who had been cleaned followed behind Hestia, walking out of the passage unhurriedly, with obvious joy on their faces.

Seeing this, Yami also stood up and greeted him.

"Long time no see, Kagaya, how are you feeling recently?"

"Thanks to you, Yami-kun, and with the help of Shinobu and Ms. Tamayo, my body has recovered to a certain extent, at least I can carry out daily activities without any problems.

It's been a long time, but Kagaya's attitude towards people is still so gentle.

"Then I'm relieved, but in a few days, you will be able to fully recover." Yami responded with a smile.

At this time, Kagaya also showed a faint smile on his face, and his eyes shone with joy, but he did not lose his composure as imagined, as if this matter had nothing to do with him.

After a short time, the man still did not forget to express his gratitude.

"Thank you very much, Yami-kun. Although I have never entered the dungeon, I learned the specific situation from the children. Many materials can only be obtained in very deep floors. To say whether they can reach that level, just the level of deep danger is hard to imagine."

"I don't want my children to be seriously injured in order to treat my body, but that is also their wish, so I have no reason to refuse."

"It's really hard to thank you, Yami-kun, you not only relieved the thousand-year grievances of Ubuyashiki clan, but also reduced the loss of the Demon Slayer Squad. I really don't know how to thank you."

"So, please accept my most sincere thanks for your great kindness!"

While talking, Kagaya immediately fell to his knees.

The members of the Demon Slayer team following him, after seeing this scene, knelt on the ground one after another without any hesitation to express their gratitude to Yami.

Not only that, but the same goes for Kamado Tanjuro, Nezuko, and Tanjiro.

Then, there were also three crisp crashing sounds behind Yami.

For a moment, in the huge room, only he and Hestia remained standing.

Goddess Loli didn't stop her child's actions, she didn't think there was anything wrong with such actions, on the contrary, only in this way could they express their most sincere gratitude.

After all, it was Takemikazuchi who told her, that guy would definitely not lie to her!

"You're being too dramatic. I'm a bit embarrassed now, so please get up. We don't do this kneeling thing to thank someone on our side, so don't do it again. If you really consider me a friend."

Yami's words were very flat but his tone was very serious.

Everyone saw the seriousness deep in his eyes, looked at each other, nodded at the same time, and then got up one after another.

Seeing this, Yami breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile appeared on his face again. He didn't like that kind of relationship that was too serious, it was too boring and depressing.

"That's right, I won't say anything more, everything is here!"

With a flick of his right hand, a large amount of materials instantly appeared on the table next to him, and they were quickly piled up into a small hill.

All kinds of materials are large and small, and they are arranged in a patchwork manner.

"The high-level materials are all here, but there is a problem. This is the remuneration given by the Loki family to Hephaestus family. I also took it out after getting the permission of Hephaestus-sama, but because it is the common property of the family, there is probably no way to give it to you for free."

"This is what it should be. We have already troubled you Yami-kun with too many things. If we continue to gain benefits for nothing, our hearts will be very disturbed."

Kagaya didn't feel surprised, but he didn't feel dissatisfied either.

Others help you only because they are good, but this is not the reason why you continue to squeeze him endlessly, he does not want to affect the relationship between himself and Yami because of this matter.

At the same time, he didn't want to affect the relationship between Goddess Hephaestus and Goddess Hestia because of his own reasons.

What's more, Kagaya is not the kind of greedy person, otherwise, he would not distribute the property of the Ubuyashiki family to all members of the Demon Slayer team after Muzan's tragic death, so that they will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of their life.

"Kagaya-kun is right, we have already troubled you and Hephaestus too much, Yami-kun, if this continues, even I will feel uneasy."

Hestia also interjected.

"So, after handing over these materials to Miach tomorrow, I will take the initiative to go to Hephaestus to discuss how to solve this matter, by the way…"

When she said this, Hestia's expression became a little weird, and her eyes began to wander.

"By the way, let's see if we can buy a batch of weapons for other children at a special price. Due to entering the 'big tree maze' today, everyone's equipment is almost damaged, and because of the purchase of other materials, the money brought by Kagaya-kun has already spent almost all of my property, so I can barely make ends meet."

Goddess Loli scratched her head in embarrassment, then stuck out her tongue.

Hearing this, Yami rolled his eyes angrily.

Originally, he thought that Hestia was really independent, but he didn't expect it, it turned out that he was thinking too much.

But think about it too!

"I probably can't help you with these things. If you can really discuss things with Hephaestus-sama, I don't mind helping. Don't look at me like this, I'm actually an excellent blacksmith!"

"Well, then I will trouble you, Yami-kun!"

"Don't worry, but I won't be polite to you about the handling fee!"

He was joking with Hestia casually, and the atmosphere was quite active.

After staying for a while, more than an hour has passed.

Yami immediately got up to say goodbye, and was sent to the door by Hestia, and left here with Kochi sisters.

After returning to his room, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Thinking about tomorrow's "God's Banquet" in his mind, Yami's face was gloomy, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Apollo's family is not a concern, but due to the rules set by the gods, all family members must adhere to them. If Apollo decides to play rogue, it would be very troublesome. So, it's better to be prepared with strength if that happens."

"So now, let me do a simulation!"

"If they agree to the war game, then there is still some time to prepare, but if they don't agree, the time will be a bit rushed. At least I can't let those bastards interfere with other members of the Hephaestus family!"

Thinking of this, Yami's expression instantly became extremely sharp.

The next moment, various thoughts flickering rapidly in his mind.

"System, I want to start the traversal simulation!"

"Ding, received the command from the host, the traversal simulation is starting, the talent is being extracted..."

The voice in his head made Yami look forward to it.

Honestly, he doesn't know much about the Fate world. In his previous life, it was just a small project at the beginning, and it didn't evolve into a more detailed work. However, the various settings and structures are still very complicated.

But the only thing that remains the same is that the people inside are particularly powerful.

What he worries about now is whether the framework of this simulation world will be too big, and he doesn't even know which node to start with. If the plot is too dangerous,

It will be very dangerous at that time, not to mention gaining a powerful power comparable to the gods, I am afraid that he will be directly stuck in this world.

Therefore, Yami's heart can be said to be quite uneasy.

Although his current strength is not bad, compared with the top heroic spirits and even the Demon God Pillar, he is still far inferior.

So he hopes he doesn't fall directly in front of some strong being, otherwise he will be finished.

"But that kind of thing shouldn't happen, right? After all, I'm also a man with the ability 'luck'..."

Yami smacked his mouth, silently praying for the blessing from his Goddess, Hephaestus in his heart.

At this moment, the system's mechanical notification sounded again.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for successfully refreshing the basic talents, which are: white talent · anti-magic power, green talent · chef, green talent · breath blocking, please choose among the three talents

Choose one as your starting talent.

What the heck!

Yami couldn't hold back for a while.

These things seem to be useless!

"White Talent · Anti-Magic Power: You have a slight anti-magic power effect, but it cannot invalidate any magic and can only slightly reduce the damage."

"Green Talent · Chef: You have extraordinary cooking skills."

"Green Talent · Breath Blocking: You can take the initiative to cut off your presence."

"It's really useless at all!!"

Yami's complexion suddenly became ugly, and he couldn't help but spit secretly.

The anti-magic power that can nullify any magic can only slightly reduce the damage.

Then there is the breath blocking, it's completely useless for him ok?

After all, for Yami, the [Transparent World] has been able to perfectly hide his fighting spirit and killing intent, thus achieving a similar state, which has no effect on him at all.

"So there's only one choice?"

Looking at the only remaining green talent, Yami's expression was a little strange.

There is no increase in combat at all, but in terms of life, it can be said to be quite effective.

"Does this mean that you want me to be a chef? Use cooking to conquer a foodie? Or use cooking to conquer Rin?"

Helplessly complaining, expressing Yami's dissatisfaction and complaints about the status quo.

Although he has gained a lot of benefits from the system, he still can't help scolding every time this kind of troublesome situation occurs.

"I have no choice, so I can only be a chef. I hope it can really play a role!"

The few options in front of him made Yami frown helplessly, but he was helpless. After thinking about it, he could only make up his mind and choose the only talent that was still somewhat useful.

"System, I choose Green Talent Chef!"

"Ding, the talent selection is successful, and the time travel simulation begins."

As Yami made the final choice, the white system screen jumped again, and words related to the simulation process quietly emerged.

[Silver and iron to the origin. Gem and the archduke of contracts to the cornerstone.]

[The ancestor is my great master Schweinorg.]

[The alighted wind becomes a wall. The gates in the four directions close, coming from the crown, the three-forked road that leads to the kingdom circulate.]

[――――I announce. ]

[Your self is under me, my fate(doom) is in your sword.]

[In accordance with the approach of the Holy Grail, if you abide by this feeling, this reason, then answer. Here is my oath. I am the one who becomes all the good of the world of the dead, I am the one who lays out all the evil of the world of the dead.

You, seven heavens clad in three words of power, arrive from the ring of deterrence, O keeper of the balance ―――!]
