War Game.
The battle between Hestia Familia and Ishtar Familia was about to start.
The time was at night, in the evening, when the bright sun on the sky fell and changed into a bright moon.
Still, even if everyone had a hard time seeing the battle, everyone's excitement didn't decrease. Instead, all of them were excited about the battle that was about to begin, especially when they knew the Hestia Familia had a new member.
Revis.
This was her name, and many felt jealous of her, wondering what made this woman special.
However, those who knew Revis's background understood why this woman was chosen as the new member of the Hestia Familia.
Still, while Loki was annoyed, she knew that Hestia Familia had become the gathering of the elite of the elite.
Only the chosen could enter this Familia.
More importantly, Hestia also announced that only 13 members would be chosen for her Familia.
There are now five having been chosen, leaving only eight seats open.
Many of them were crazy about these spots and wished to be chosen, which made them work harder in the dungeon.
While this might be a strange phenomenon, it was welcomed by everyone in Orario, especially the guild, which was Orario's previous controller. After all, there would be many strong people in Orario, and many people kept working hard on the dungeon, which helped to reduce the number of monsters that were summoned by the dungeon.
Yet, while the guild was happy due to how busy it was, the old leader of this organization couldn't be happy.
Ouranos was deeply thinking and wondering what he should do in this situation. Before he had lost control over the guild, especially when all of his followers often tried to push him aside and take control of the guild by themselves, but he still had prestige and authority that was impossible to ignore.
However, as Isao had won the madness war previously, he directly took control over this city, and naturally, Ouranos lost control of everything, whether it was a guild or all the important parts that connected him with the world. If there was something that he could be grateful for, it would be that he didn't lose Fels, his most trusted follower.
Still, even if Ouranos lost control over the guild and Orario, he didn't really mind since, in the past, he had already relegated his duty as the creator of the guild and stayed within his temple all the time, hardly taking any matters of the guild onto his hands, and becoming someone behind the scenes.
Even the guild members were more than happy for Ouranos to stay behind the scenes since that way, they could have control over the guild.
Unfortunately, it was taken by Isao, but as Isao was strong and cruel, they could do nothing except follow him. Still, it wasn't bad at all to follow him, though, since they had a basic cooperation previously.
Yet, it was different from Ouranos since he had a hidden secret that no one had ever thought of. This secret... if anyone knew it, then there was no doubt the ones that he tried to protect would be killed, and he would be labeled as a traitor to everyone. He could hide everything well before, but now...?
Ouranos didn't have confidence.
If what Isao represented was only his wisdom and wealth, then Ouranos knew that there was still room for a countermeasure, but the problem was Isao was also the strongest!
Yes, the strongest!
Isao might only be a Level 5, but in reality, everyone knew well that his level was just a number and couldn't represent his entire power.
If he said that he was only number two, who dares to claim to be the number one?
If Isao didn't want to help him, Ouranos knew that all of those he tried to protect would be killed.
The time was limited, and sooner or later, everything in the Orario or even the world would be under Isao's control.
While Ouranos didn't really mind since he could tell that Isao would become a good king, and as time continued, he knew well that the "age of gods" had to pass and change into the "age of man."
The king who would lead that age, even if some people might not agree, Ouranos knew that no one was more suitable to do it than Isao.
Still, as he watched the water-like screen that emerged from the midair of his temple, he saw the Hestia Familia and the Ishtar Familia, who were about to start their War Game.
Unlike the Hestia Familia, which only had five members, the Ishtar Familia brought hundreds of their Familia members. Most of them were Level 3, and many were Level 4, and there was even a Level 5. More importantly, all of them dressed and held powerful and expensive equipment, clearly on a much different level than the Apollo Familia.
Yet, even so, no one thought that Ishtar Familia would win.
However, Ouranos' focus wasn't on this War Game since he knew well who would become the victor.
"Fels, what do you think we should do with Xenos?"
Ouranos couldn't find an answer to solve the problem of Xenos, the race that he tried to protect, so he asked Fels, his trusted subordinate.
Fels, who stayed by Ouranos' side and had been focused on the War Game, was startled, then thought for a while, and said, "What if... we send one of the most beautiful Xenos to Iinuma Isao?"
"..."
Ouranos widened his eyes and opened his mouth in surprise. It seemed that he wanted to say something, but in the end, he closed his eyes, trying to contemplate. It might be because he was a deity who didn't have much interest in the sexual exchange, so he never thought of this direction.
Ouranos had been thinking about how to make Isao help him solve this problem, but then he realized that this matter was far easier to solve.
"...it's a good idea."
"Right?"
After all, the two of them knew well how bad Isao was at controlling his lower body.
Even now, this guy had made many women pregnant, and all the women he impregnated had many different races, from a human, an elf, and even a demi-human, so a talking monster should be okay for him, too, right?
As they thought so, Isao felt his nose was itchy.
"What's wrong, Isao-kun?" Cassandra asked worriedly. "Did you have a bad dream or something?" She knew well that Isao had learned her ability as a prophet to see the bad fate before them.
Whether it was Filvis, Daphne, or Revis, they also knew that Casandra and Isao had such an ability, so if the two said that they had seen something bad, then they knew that this War Game would be troublesome.
"No, it's just I feel like someone thinks something rude about me."
"Well, you often did something bad, after all." Filvis nodded.
"That's right." 3x
Cassandra, Daphne, and Revis also agreed.
"...."
Isao looked at the four of them and felt helpless, but nevertheless, he felt the end was near, and he knew that after this, Level 6 was just around the corner.
