On the barren land, dust was flying all over the sky.
The majestic city in the distance is located here, and the members of the Apollo family are waiting in line at this time, guarding against the incoming enemies from four directions.
Anyway, the opponents this time are all well-known adventurers of Orario. Even if he has just become a senior adventurer, his strength to defeat Udaios should not be underestimated.
The only good news is that the opponent's power has been sealed.
Otherwise, the strongest member of the family is only the Apollo family at level 3, so there is no need to resist at all, just take back the weapon, and then kneel on the ground and bow your neck to be slaughtered.
Contrary to the atmosphere on the city side, Yami, who was hidden in a certain stone pile in the distance, was basking in the sun leisurely at this moment, and seemed not to be in a hurry.
Although this war game uses siege warfare, and the time limit is only three days, it is completely enough for him.
Even if his strength is tragically sealed, there is no need to care at all.
Feeling the exaggerated power in his body, Yami still couldn't help being amazed.
"It's too exaggerated. Is this the power of a god? He can seal the physical strength of human beings with just a few gestures. He is indeed a god who can suppress dungeons in ancient times!"
As he said it, Yami's awe flashed with awe and deep yearning.
In front of the gods, his current strength is still not enough. Unless he obtains the kind of weapon that can target the gods, otherwise, he is definitely not an opponent.
On the way here, it's not like Yami didn't think about fighting for the seal.
But the result is obvious, he failed!
It is simply not possible for his current power to break free from this bondage. This also made Yami start to wonder, can an adventurer really become a god after reaching Lv.10?
He had deep doubts about this.
This is a rumor that spread in Orario, and even the whole world.
It is also because of this reason that the labyrinth city Orario has become the center of the world, attracting all races to rush here, join a familia, become adventurers, and work hard to improve the level.
However, this statement has never been recognized by the gods.
Those gods always smiled lightly at this kind of statement, neither giving a positive answer nor directly exposing this kind of lie, but using an ambiguous attitude, leaving human beings endless room for reverie, and thus making the vast majority most adventurers work harder.
But after personal experience, Yami already has a rough guess.
"It's very likely to be a fake. If it's so easy to become a god, it's too cheap!"
"Probably some gods who like to make things happen, deliberately revealed the news, and then attracted outstanding humans from all over the world to come, so that they can bring them more fun."
"Even if it is true, becoming a god at Lv.10 is definitely not the end point for adventurers."
"Even if you can become a god, you must be the weakest kind."
"This world is really mysterious enough, but then again, why did Ouranos look at me so strangely?"
"I always feel as if I have been seen through by him, or in other words, I have been targeted by him?"
With no one disturbing him, Yami's thoughts kept churning.
He quickly denied his own thoughts. You must know that in the world of Demon Slayer and Pirate World, Goddess Hephaestus also unlocked the seal of divine power, and she didn't see anything from him.
Therefore, even Oraunos absolutely cannot know the secrets in his body.
As for why he showed that meaningful expression.
Maybe it's just like what Yami said, he was targeted by this guy, maybe he realized his own power during the process of sealing with divine power, so he wants to achieve some goals!
Either way, that doesn't seem like a bad thing.
After all, if most of the other gods are happy people, then Oraunos is definitely an alternative among them. He has completely dedicated his energy to the Tower of Babel, or in other words, to the suppression of the underground above the city.
He stayed in the underground altar of the Adventurer's Guild almost all the time, praying to the dungeon, and at the same time suppressed the active dungeon with his own powerful divine power to prevent the frequent entry and exit of monsters.
Therefore, even if he was targeted by Oraunos, it was definitely related to the problem of the dungeon.
Yami is not particularly worried. With the existence of Goddess Hephaestus, Ouranos can't force him to do anything. If it's really troublesome at that time, just refuse directly.
In other words, on the surface, he is obedient, but when he has enough strength, he can directly refuse in person.
"Think about these things later, it's better to get rid of the things in front of me now."
Shaking his head, he threw away the random thoughts in his mind.
"End early and go home early, there are still people waiting for me~"
After speaking, Yami walked out from the pile of stones, and walked towards the city without any haste, his steps were extremely resolute.
The yellow sand all over the sky is flying in the sky under the blowing of wind and dust.
The clothes on Yami's body were also rattled by the hurricane, and the yellow sand rushed towards his face, but everything was blocked by the magic power.
Such a move is particularly obvious in such a barren open space.
There is no doubt that the members of the "Apollo Family" standing on the city wall and responsible for the defense also discovered his arrival for the first time.
"Look, that guy is coming!"
"Are you kidding me? There is only one person, and he didn't want to find an opportunity to sneak into the city to launch a surprise attack, but he just walked over in such a grandiose way. There is a limit to looking down on us!"
"What a pompous bastard!"
"In this case, let us give him a big gift!"
Yami's unhurried speed and leisurely attitude, in his own opinion, is no problem at all, but in the eyes of the members of the Apollo family, this is the greatest insult to them!
Whether they voluntarily joined the Apollo family or were forced to join the members of the Apollo family, a slight anger appeared on their faces at this time.
So whatever the reason, they're going to make this guy pay!
"Archers ready to fire, Mages start chanting, and fire under my command!"
After Yami entered the attack range, he looked the most stable. The adventurer who looked like a small team leader suddenly had sharp eyes and roared loudly towards the surroundings: "Shoot the arrow!"
With an order, the rain of arrows rose into the sky, and then poured down.
The scene that has only been seen in TV dramas, but now it really appears in Yami's eyes. This kind of picture is really shocking.
Especially when standing in the front, that feeling cannot be described in words.
The rain of arrows instantly covered him, and in the blink of an eye it had already arrived in front of him.
Generally speaking, War Games allow for killing by default. Although these games are set up to please the gods and resolve conflicts between familias, the cost of failure is too great, so nearly every familia member agrees and issues an unspoken order:
As long as you can win, all reasonable means can be used.
From this cluster of arrows alone, it can be seen that the adventurers of the Apollo family did not hold back their hands.
As for whether Apollo ordered his child something out of the ordinary, Yami is not particularly clear about this, but there is nothing to care about.
It was just a rain of arrows. It might be useful against ordinary adventurers, but it was completely useless to him.
"Is it such a lively welcome ceremony? I'm really flattered~"
"But just relying on some arrows to block my way, you're looking down on me."
Muttering softly, Yami didn't make any response.
His footsteps were still steady, as if he hadn't seen the arrows coming from the sky, he continued to approach the city at a uniform speed.
However, his direction of progress is sometimes changing.
Just when everyone thought that Yami was going crazy, the arrows were falling all over the sky.
However, something even more shocking happened at this moment!
Accompanied by the sound of breaking wind, all the arrows were inserted into the ground immediately, and at the same time, the dust on the ground was splashed, and the barren ground was instantly tied into a hedgehog.
But Yami was not injured at all!
All the arrows seemed to avoid him, either hitting his feet or flying past his side, except for a harsh sound, they had no effect at all.
Yami just walked like this, wandering slowly on the verge of death.
This weird scene immediately attracted all the adventurers on the city wall to show dumbfounded expressions.
In fact, it's not just them, the adventurers and gods watching this war game from far away in the labyrinth city Orario can't help but show a look of astonishment at this time.
It seems that it is not as intense as they imagined!
Is this really a fight, not a walk in the wild?
Also, who is the party with the most people and the most powerful people!
There is obviously only one member of Hephaestus's family, so why can it give people the feeling that there are thousands of troops behind him with only one person?
For a time, everyone began to look forward to the next development.
On the top floor of the Tower of Babel, the eyes of the gods who came here to watch the battle began to become hotter, and almost all of them stayed on the big mirror of God in the center.
Hephaestus and Hestia sat together, watching Yami's actions, the two goddesses showed beautiful smiles at the same time, and then looked into the sight of Apollo not far away, with a deep mockery.
This made Apollo, who was still full of confidence, suddenly feel a little bad.
"What a bunch of waste, such a big man, so many of you can't hit him, what are you doing!"
"Hycinthus, don't let me down!"
At this time, Apollo's mood can be described as quite ups and downs.
However, in the city far away in the center of the battlefield, the members of the Apollo family didn't know the inner activities of their main god at this time, but were extremely defensive.
But no matter how you shoot an arrow, it can't stop Yami's progress...
Similarly, their fire coverage did not hurt the man at all.
Soon, Yami arrived within the range covered by the magic fire, but he continued to move forward as if he didn't feel any danger.
Seeing this scene, the small captain on the top of the city looked annoyed, and roared again with red eyes: "The archers stop, all the mages open fire, we must stop this man!"
After his voice fell, all kinds of chants followed.
Immediately afterwards, magic with different brilliance, but equally dazzling, appeared instantly.
Water or fire, or lightning
Or the dense magic of ordinary rays fell from the top of the city, directly covering Yami's position.
This is a more intensive attack than the previous rain of arrows.
Just when everyone thought that Yami would dodge, he still walked calmly, without even looking at the magic in midair.
The next moment, his figure was instantly covered by all the magic.
rumbling—
A terrible explosion sounded, and the smoke and dust all over the sky completely concealed Yami's figure.
Everything around is shrouded in it, and no one knows what the situation inside has become, but the magic bombing from the Apollo family still hasn't stopped,
Not only that, but they even showed a cheerful look on their faces.
Finally, the magic bombardment stopped.
The ground has been destroyed by the powerful magic, and the smoke and dust in the sky has not dissipated for a long time, even drifting to the location of the city, blocking everyone's sight.
"Did he die?"
I don't know who made the inquiry, but other members of the Apollo family also responded quickly.
"Does this need to be said? He must be dead, that is magic! And there is such a huge amount of magic, even the one in the Freya family can't be unscathed in this dense magic, that one guy must be gone!"
"If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for being too arrogant. He didn't even dodge. How stupid!"
"So, we must have won this war game!"
With a few words, the adventurers of the Apollo family have already raised their hands at this time, with obvious excitement on their faces, planning to start raising their arms and cheering.
But at this moment, a very light footsteps suddenly came.
Adventurers who have strengthened their abilities can naturally capture this sound clearly.
Everyone's voices stopped abruptly, and they looked forward in horror. Amidst the smoke and dust all over the sky, a black shadow was walking towards the direction of the city. Their coordinated movements looked so familiar.
As a hurricane blew past, the smoke and dust were instantly dispersed.
The figure of Yami appeared in the eyes of everyone again, but to everyone's surprise, he was not affected at all, not only was he not injured, even his clothes were not damaged, which was exactly the same as when he first appeared.
Seeing this, everyone suddenly showed expressions of disbelief.
"IMPOSSIBLE!"
"How is it possible for someone to be unscathed under multiplayer magic, even with the ability to develop 'magic defense'? It's absolutely impossible. He cheated. He must have used a defense type weapon!"
The adventurers of the Apollo Familia raised doubts.
Tower of Babel.
"Hey, Hephaestus, did you build a defensive weapon for your child? You're cheating!"
When Apollo on the top floor of the Tower of Babel saw this scene in the Mirror of God, he immediately jumped up anxiously, stood up and questioned Hephaestus.
All of a sudden, the eyes of other gods also gathered.
Hephaestus didn't pay attention to other party words, but there was a touch of sarcasm on her face, and she looked at Apollo as if she was looking at a clown.
"Apollo, don't try to slander us. We're not like you, resorting to low-level tactics. This is Yami-kun's true strength. If he weren't restrained, those weaklings under your command would be wiped out in ten face-to-face encounters."
"Even now, your child is absolutely impossible to be an opponent, so wash your neck honestly and wait for your defeat!"
The fact that the red-haired goddess did not respond does not mean that other people have no opinion.
Hestia, who had been unhappy with Apollo for a long time, naturally would not miss this opportunity, and refuted loudly. Seeing the ugly expression on Apollo's face, she immediately felt extremely happy.
Hephaestus on the side suddenly showed a helpless expression, and knocked Hestia's head angrily.
You just exposed her child's details like this!
However, she didn't pay too much attention to this matter.
Now that Yami has entered the sight of the gods, it will be a matter of time before his potential that is comparable to or even surpassed that of a hero is exposed, and there is no difference between sooner or later.
The Hephaestus family has been silent for too long, and it is time for others to know.
Even if they are artisan family members, they are not easy to mess with!
