When Dionysus made his first move with a sneak attack, hesitation was in Isao's hands, and he directly threw away his saber.
The saber moved like a full moon, rotating with a speed that was impossible to follow, and slashed everything along its path, including the ground, before dividing Dionysus' figure into half.
"!?"
Everyone was dumbfounded by how cruel Isao was, especially when this guy didn't even show much respect toward a deity.
Usually, a mortal would hesitate to kill a deity, especially when they would subconsciously feel inferior to a higher being like them.
Yet, there was no such hesitation in Isao, and he attacked Dionysus directly, killing him in one move.
"...done?" Loki asked nervously.
"Not yet." Isao stretched his hands, moving his body gently as he prepared for his real battle, then said, "If he is killed, then there will be a pillar of light."
When Ishtar was killed and returned to heaven, there was a pillar of light that sent her back to heaven or a place that no one knew. However, the fact that she died didn't change, so Dionysus didn't show such a pillar of light when he was divided in half by Isao, so there was no doubt that Dionysus was still living.
"Then, what should we do?"
"Just cheer for me."
"....."
Everyone was speechless and wanted to say something, but they knew that they really couldn't do anything to support him.
"Really? Is that all? You make us appear useless!" Loki couldn't help but complain.
"Your deity's ability isn't that useful in this battle."
"...can't you not be so blunt? Your words hurt me!" Loki cried when she heard Isao's cruel words. Yes, she knew that her innate abilities weren't that useful in this battle, but she had a brilliant mind that could create chaos everywhere!
But then again, in this battle, where she couldn't even control herself and definitely was controlled by wine, she knew that she was as good as useless.
"Well, if Dionysus or other Evilus members appear, Freya can use her charm to control them, though, by then, this battle is as good as over."
"...."
Everyone fell into silence and subconsciously turned their heads at Freya.
However, Freya only smiled and said, "But you won't ask me to do that, right?"
"I won't." Isao took a deep breath, then took his saber from the distance by using his warp gate. At this moment, there was no point in hiding any of his abilities anymore. He knew that he had to give his everything, or else while he could stay alive and run away, many would die, especially those innocents on the Orario.
Those weaklings could do nothing in this situation and could only rely on him to protect themselves.
As a good person, how could he let them down?
At the same time, it was also his chance to grow even stronger.
Yes, he knew that Dionysus was strong, but as Dionysus grew stronger, this was also Isao's chance to grow stronger since the DNA that he would gain from Dionysus would definitely bring him a lot of benefits!
Now, if Zeus could join, then it would be great, he thought.
Unfortunately, this deity loves to hide and makes love with a variety of women by disguising himself, which makes Isao feel speechless.
Deity...
While many worshipped it, and some even hated it, Isao was neutral. He didn't think that the existence of a deity was really that harmful to the world, even if Dionysus, Ishtar, and probably many others used their divine power to toy with the beings in the lower world. He didn't think that they were wrong, but he didn't think that they were right either.
After all, the deity had power, and what they did with that power, whether it was a good or a bad thing, didn't matter since Isao knew well that even if a deity was powerful, they were also a weakling in the past, and they worked hard to get their power, so was it wrong to enjoy the fruit of their hard work?
Isao didn't think that they were wrong, but it was just that they should prepare for what they used their power for.
Not every weakling would remain weak; some of them became strong, and when they became strong, they would start their revenge on those who had made their lives suffer.
Frankly, if Dionysus hadn't challenged him, Isao would have been too lazy to make this guy into an enemy, but as this guy kept provoking him again and again, he knew that he had to be decisive since he wasn't someone who would leave a hidden danger.
His method was successful, as he had tried it on Ares before.
Te-he~!
Yes, he was the reason why Ares suddenly disappeared, but who cares about that failed god of war?
So—
"Haruhime."
"Yes, Isao-sama."
Hearing her name called, Haruhime didn't hesitate to start singing her magic, and she raised Isao's level to one.
Level 7.
Yes, at this moment, Isao was a Level 7 adventurer due to Haruhime's magic.
"Riveria, I leave her to you."
While the others were good, Isao knew that Riveria was the most dependable among all of his women.
"You don't have to worry." Riveria nodded solemnly.
"You guys, too. I rely on you."
"Yes."
All of them answered at the same time.
Their role was simple, and that was to protect Haruhime and, at the same time, try their best to supply Haruhime with magic with a magic tool crafted by Isao.
Frankly, this was hard since to supply the magic that allowed Isao to become a Level 7, one needed a gigantic amount of magic, but even so, no one complained, and all of them gritted their teeth, trying to support him in their own ways.
"Everyone, give me."
"Yes!"
At the same time, many of those famous adventurers, with their support abilities, empowered Isao with various buffs to make him even stronger.
Isao became even stronger, but then, there was one more thing.
"Hermes."
"Yes~! Yes~!" There was no need to remind Hermes since he was already prepared. "Ouranos, give me permission to use my divine power!"
"I give you my permission!"
Then, Hermes used his power to create many screens in various places in the Orario.
On the screens, Isao's figure was seen, the only figure that could save them.
"DO YOUR BEST, ISAO-SAMA!"
"Give your everything, Isao-sama!"
"GOVERNOR, WINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!"
Everyone prayed, cheered, and used all of their might to shout, hoping that their voices could empower him in this battle.
Their hope became one, and this was the start of the legend of a hero.
Isao took a deep breath, feeling everyone's voices and feelings that entered his body.
Did the DNA of a deity give him the power to become stronger with the power of faith?
Isao smiled and ignored such power since, for him, those powers that could only rely on external factors weren't something that he sought.
Whether he was a hero, a king, a demon, a devil, or whatever, Isao didn't care since he wouldn't let anyone dictate his life.
This was what he wished for, but even so, as they had believed in him, he wouldn't let them down.
As he thought so, his figure jumped out and fell into an endless darkness.
---
"FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK!"
Dionysus continued to curse as his double consciousness disappeared, and at the same time, he focused all of his attention on his creation, the being that could definitely destroy everyone.
"Come on... Come on... Come on... Come on... Come on..."
While he might be insane, he wasn't stupid, and he knew this was his last chance.
If he wanted to win, then he had to give his everything, or else...
Dionysus closed his eyes as he gave his everything.
