As soon as Dionysus's voice fell, everyone present, without exception, revealed expressions of astonishment or shock.
Although the Gods have descended to the Lower World for over a thousand years, and many brilliant and stunning adventurers have been born during this period, there has never been a single one who truly took that step from man to God from beginning to end.
The closest one was merely the 'Sage' of the past who refined the 'Philosopher's Stone'. According to storybooks circulating in Orario, after breaking with the Patron God he once served, he obtained a long life through some method.
But at this moment...
Certified personally by Dionysus, the Captain of the Hestia Familia, Levi Bright—nicknamed 'Hero King'—had quietly walked to the end of the Falna system right under the noses of Orario's many Gods and adventurers.
He might even truly transform from a mere human into a God!
Hearing such a statement, how could Filvis and the others not be surprised or unexpected?
Hilde, standing not far ahead, merely smiled faintly upon hearing this, intending to give no response at all.
Now that Dionysus and all related personnel had been locked into the 'Plane of Euthymia', her mission was actually mostly complete.
Next, she just had to wait for the main body to concoct the sparkling wine that could lift the dream of madness and give it to Thrud. Then Rindr would take Demeter to report the things Dionysus had done during this period to the Guild.
Follow-up issues would naturally be a headache for Royman and God Ouranos to deal with.
As for directly solving the members of the Dionysus Familia... it wasn't that Levi hadn't considered it.
However, he was not a murderous person by nature. The Dionysus Familia had quite a few members, and among them, there were surely unlucky ones who didn't participate or were even kept in the dark about the plan by their own Patron God the entire time.
As long as he had energy to spare, Levi was still willing to spend a little more effort to distinguish between the good people and the bad eggs.
At the same moment, inside the Demeter Familia station.
After pulling the 'Banshee' clone, which had been hiding beside the orange-haired Goddess for a long time, into the Reality Marble, Rindr revealed her form and bowed.
"Lord Demeter, hello. I am another one of the main body's clones, 'Rindr'."
"Next, I ask that you please accompany me to the Guild and, as a witness, report the things God Dionysus has done during this period."
"As for the other members of your Familia who have been controlled, once the main body concocts the sparkling wine to lift the control state, other clones will assist in rescuing them."
Demeter appeared to be a soft, big sister with a broad chest/heart, but she was ultimately a true God who held Arcanum and had lived for tens of millions of years.
Hearing the news that her children were about to be saved, she immediately nodded. She even took the initiative, pulling Rindr and running towards the door.
As she walked, she asked, "Did you just use a 'Divine Domain'?"
Rindr did not deny it: "Yes."
The concept of a Divine Domain had been mentioned to Levi by Hestia and Hephaestus when they first entered the 'Plane of Euthymia'.
Leaving aside the situation of Gods in other planes, at least in the DanMachi world, Divine Power + Arcanum + Divine Domain constituted the most basic elements of a God's existence.
Among them, Divine Power could be roughly seen as the magic power held by adventurers in the Lower World, while Arcanum was equivalent to an advanced evolution of Magic.
But it was higher level than both, and also more versatile.
As for the Divine Domain... let's put it this way: the entire Tenkai was formed by the fusion, or rather the combination, of the Divine Domains held by the Gods.
Precisely because of this, only when they were in Tenkai were the Gods truly omniscient and omnipotent.
Conversely, after descending to the Lower World, with their Divine Power sealed on one hand and unable to quickly unfold their Divine Domain on the other, this allowed humanity to give birth to countless 'Unknowns' that even they did not know of.
To put it more bluntly, a Divine Domain was equivalent to an independent small world. The owner of the Divine Domain was the absolute ruler of that world.
As for the Reality Marble 'Plane of Euthymia', born from the resonance of the 'Tenkajin-constellation' and modified by the rules of the Type-Moon world, in some respects, it was indeed no different from a 'Divine Domain'.
It was just that the former was relatively incomplete, while the latter was more complete.
Although Demeter already had the answer when she asked the doubt in her heart, she still couldn't help but fall into silence after personally hearing the answer from the girl beside her.
After a long while, she muttered dryly, "Hestia really has good luck."
Her words were filled with envy for her friend.
Rindr smiled upon hearing this and was planning to change the subject. But in the next second, her brows suddenly furrowed fiercely.
"Tch—"
After clicking her tongue lightly, the Spirit girl with waist-length golden hair hugged the Goddess beside her by the waist.
The Swan Dress draped over her body boiled with magic, and she rose into the air.
This time, she did not hide her tracks as she had in the past. Instead, in front of countless people and Gods on the streets of Orario, she flew straight towards the location of the Guild.
Demeter was startled by Rindr's sudden action, but she reacted quickly. The only possible reason for the girl, who had always acted very calmly, to suddenly change her actions was Dionysus, who was currently briefly controlled by the other party using the Divine Domain.
Combined with the divine duty of this old friend of hers...
"That guy, did he use his Arcanum?"
Back inside the Plane of Euthymia.
Seeing that Hilde didn't intend to pay attention to him, Dionysus didn't get angry either.
He simply waved his arm at the two Filvises.
Seeing this, the latter did not hesitate and silently recited a chant.
In the next instant, accompanied by bursts of light and shadow, the Banshee and her clone reunited.
Terrifying magic power turned into a substantive energy mass, appearing around this former elf—now a monster—who revealed the magic stone on her chest.
The other members of the Dionysus Familia who were familiar with her looked on in astonishment, one after another.
However, without giving them any chance to ask questions, Filvis chanted the spell again: "Holy staff of evil-breaking, sweep away my enemies."
"——Dio Thyrsos!"
This was the Lightning Attribute attack magic that the White Shrine Maiden had awakened before being transformed into a monster.
Its power was already quite good, and now it was personally unleashed by her after merging with her clone.
Let alone those ordinary adventurers, even the 'The Fierce' Ottar of the Freya Familia might very likely face defeat if he carelessly took the complete attack.
However...
Hilde, who was currently targeted by 'Dio Thyrsos', didn't even have the intention to dodge.
A seven-colored halo manifested behind her back.
Immediately afterwards, accompanied by several Stone Steles generating rapidly nearby, a pale yellow shield instantly condensed on the girl's body surface.
