Chapter 795 unlocks the experience dungeon; Freya's Familia battles in the wilderness.
"So why would a guild secretly protect monsters? Even if those monsters possess intelligence and reason..."
After listening to Fels's explanation, Loki immediately raised his hand and asked the question.
"This is because Lord Uranus wants to find a balance, to explore the possibility of coexistence between humans on the surface world and intelligent monsters in the dungeons."
At this point, Fels had no reason to hide anything, and she directly explained the guild's reasons for secretly protecting Heretics and providing assistance for their survival.
"Absolutely stupid."
Just as Miss Fool finished speaking, Dionysus, the blond god sitting to Loki's right, directly expressed his opinion on the idea of the god Uranus seeking a way to coexist.
"My children died in the dungeons, killed by those damned, intelligent monsters. To expect me to support Uranus's ideas and agree to coexist with those dungeon monsters? Ha, absolutely not!"
"Dionysus, I deeply regret the death of your child in the dungeon. However, the ones who killed your child were not the heretics we secretly support, nor the intelligent monsters you believe them to be, but rather a group of 'freaks' whose bodies are embedded with magic stones."
"What's the difference? Aren't they both intelligent monsters?"
"Miss Philweis, what's wrong?"
Just as Dionysus was questioning Fels, Lefia noticed that the White Witch beside her looked a little off.
"I'm fine, Rafia, thank you."
Phil Weiss shook her head, paused, and then asked in a low voice.
What is your view on heretics?
"Well……"
Lefia hadn't expected to be asked this question, so she thought for a moment and then answered it in a low voice.
"At first I was a little wary, scared and worried, but after spending two days with her, I found Miss Winnie to be very lovely and she didn't hurt Miss Ais, so I think it's okay."
"What if it were a strange person with a magic stone inside their body?"
The White Witch asked again.
Coincidentally, Fels also answered Dionysus's question: "The only difference is that one will wantonly harm people, while the other will restrain his aggressive desires and will not easily harm people."
"Just like Miss Fells said, I think it depends on whether they would intentionally hurt someone. If not, then I think I can accept a weirdo."
"Words may sound nice, but who can say for sure whether they will hurt people?"
In case, in the future, you bring about the children of the surface world to accept the existence of intelligent monsters.
Then one day, those intelligent monsters might suddenly go berserk, causing unimaginable disasters.
Therefore, no matter what you say, I will not support the ideas of Uranus, the god behind your guild.
Dionysus was the first to speak out.
"So, Dionysus, will you become an obstacle to Lord Uranus's exploration of the path of coexistence?"
Fels did not continue to persuade him, but simply inquired about the matter.
"What, if I said yes, what does your guild plan to do? Will you wipe me, my clan, and even other people and gods who oppose you from Orario?"
As Dionysus spoke, he looked at the other two goddesses beside him.
"Hey, Dionysus, don't try to stir things up. I haven't decided whether I support or oppose him yet!"
Loki laughed and said that she, who used to stir up trouble in the heavens, wouldn't fall for anyone's attempts to sow discord or ally with her.
"Rest assured, God Dionysus. Lord Uranus is not a dictatorial god, nor does he believe that his ideas are necessarily correct. He is merely exploring a better future that may be achieved. Therefore, the guild will not do anything to eliminate dissidents, nor is it capable of doing so."
Fels responded neither humbly nor arrogantly.
Upon hearing this, the blond man revealed a malicious smile: "In that case, what if I stand up and expose the heretics? What will your guild and Uranus do then?"
"It's very simple. We will directly deny the existence of heretics and punish you and your family for spreading rumors and disseminating false information."
Well, God Dionysus, although I invited you here today on behalf of the guild and Lord Uranus to confess the matter of the heretics, the guild will not acknowledge any of the words I utter here after you leave this room.
As for your idea of arresting me or recording magic stone videos as so-called evidence, it's useless. My code name in the guild is "Ghost," meaning a non-existent employee. At most, you can find out I'm a temporary worker in the guild, but then the guild will simply sever all ties with me.
"Looks like the guild is quite well-prepared!"
"It's not sufficient, it's just a contingency plan for the worst."
Fels said neither humbly nor arrogantly.
"Alright, while I don't support Uranus's idea of exploring ways to coexist with monsters, I won't specifically stand up against him."
However, I'm not saying this because the guild is so meticulous; it's just that my child has a good relationship with the children here.
If I were to stand up and oppose it, it would undoubtedly cause trouble for the Hestia Familia, who have already expressed their support for this matter.
I don't want my actions to bring shame upon my child, making them look like a betrayer of their friends...
Dionysus glanced to the side, at the white witch who was looking at him with some nervousness.
"As for whether you can persuade the other two not to stand up and oppose it, I don't know."
He steered the conversation toward the two gods beside him and then shut his mouth and said nothing.
Dionysus was also curious to see what kind of response Loki, who was equally restless in the heavens, would make.
If it could cause trouble for Uranus, that would be even better.
"Whether I support or oppose it, I need to ask my child's opinion first. You don't mind if I ask them before you give your opinion, do you?"
"Lord Loki, please make yourself at home."
Fels had no objection.
"Alright, Ais, why don't you share your thoughts first?"
The Clown Goddess nodded and looked at the Sword Maiden beside her, calling on her to speak first.
Ais was taken aback, but still answered honestly, "I think that if there are intelligent monsters that don't harm people, we can coexist peacefully."
"Huh?!"
The swordswoman's concise words greatly surprised Finn and the others who had come to the Hearth with Loki.
"I thought you'd answer that all monsters should be killed."
Loki opened his squinty eyes slightly.
"If it were me three days ago, I definitely would have said the same thing."
Ais didn't shy away from the topic and nodded in agreement.
"What was it that made my little Ais change her mind?"
Loki was somewhat curious.
"Broly asked me to take care of the heretics we encountered..."
Ais didn't mention Winnie's name directly.
"In my interactions with them, I discovered that they are also beings with feelings of blood and tears."
Of course, without Cassandra's precognitive dream and prior knowledge of the dragon knight prophecy, and without Broly's firm statement not to harm Winnie, Ais, given her personality, would most likely not have bothered to learn about a monster's situation.
They'll either kill Winnie as a normal monster when they meet, or let the little one be captured by the poachers chasing after her.
Unlike now, there has been a change in perception of intelligent monsters.
"So, Finn and Riveria, what are your thoughts?"
"Logically speaking, as adventurers, we shouldn't sympathize with monsters, regardless of whether they are intelligent or not."
Finn first explained the reasoning.
"However, as the leader of the Loki Familia, I also need to consider the actual situation, especially since the members of the Familia who originally had extreme views on monsters now have a positive view of monsters that are intelligent and rational."
Yes, I also need to actively listen to the opinions of my family members.
"I think Winnie is a good girl."
Upon hearing this, Tiona quickly raised her hand to express her opinion.
"I trust Ais's judgment."
Riveria lived up to her name as Ais's adoptive mother, unconditionally supporting her adopted daughter.
Of course, Broly also has some responsibility for this, but not as much as Ais.
Loki then looked at Lefia, and just as the elven girl was about to speak, Loki waved his hand.
"Forget it, Lefia, you don't need to say anything. I heard you two whispering in the back just now."
Lefia: "..."
The elven girl's face flushed slightly.
"It seems that my family members support me, so I have a result on my end."
"etc……"
"Finn, is there anything else?"
"We few cannot represent the entire clan, and based on people's general views on monsters, I believe that even if we support them, we can only do so in a tacit manner for the time being."
"Miss Fels, we cannot openly support Lord Uranus's ideas before the public's perception of monsters changes. However, if you need help, and only in secret, our clan can provide assistance to the best of our ability."
As the leader of a large clan, and one with a strong sense of personal gain, Finn's statement already demonstrates considerable support.
"Finn's attitude is my attitude."
Loki didn't try to undermine him; he simply turned his gaze to Hephaestus.
"Yes, it's the same on my end."
Hephaestus made his stance clear, while she really had nothing to say.
They've already gotten married and slept together.
Hestia had just pulled her aside for a private chat.
Knowing that Broly's encounters include monster girls and that she knows about his wing skills, would she really stand up and object?
However, she couldn't just step forward to support him, since her kin were a large group of people. Even gods need to consider the thoughts of their own children. Not every god is selfish, and Hephaestus could only offer limited help that was not something that could be shared with outsiders.
Dionysus: "..."
Is Orario really this tolerant of monsters these days?
Unaware of Broly's wing abilities or the private relationship between Broly and Hephaestus, this was the only thought in his mind.
Thank you everyone.
Fels bowed to the crowd; the situation couldn't be better.
Besides Ganesha, the number of major gods now siding with Uranus has increased.
One of them is also one of the main gods of Orario's top-tier clan.
And this was all thanks to Broly; the people and gods in front of him were basically all connected to that Saiyan boy.
Of course, what Miss Fool didn't know was that the Saiyan boy not only dealt with Loki, but also with Freya, who wasn't present but also knew about the Little Dragon Girl Winnie.
The goddess was in a very good mood. The Saiyan boy ate all the sweets she had made herself and even praised her.
"Compared to the pastries you made for me before, your skills have improved a lot now, and the pastries taste even better."
"It's delicious, then eat more!"
In the end, Broly returned to his clan's residence with a pile of sweets made by Freya herself, having eaten and taken some with him.
When he returned, the hospitality at the Hearth House had already ended. After checking accounts with Miss Fool, they found that they had both achieved results that were quite satisfactory to them.
"Broly, what's this?"
"It's a strawberry cake, is it delicious?"
"Mmm, it's delicious. Winnie likes it."
"Then eat more, this was made by Lady Freya herself."
"Lady Freya?"
"A god like Lady Hestia."
"Then she must be a good person."
"How so?"
"She gave Broly lots of delicious food."
Little Dragon Girl had cream all over her face, but while eating, she said many nice things about the goddess of beauty.
The following day, Broly went to the Battle Wilderness to fulfill his promise of a daily treat.
Freya, the goddess of beauty, allowed the Saiyan boy to take back even more delicious sweets.
Clearly, through the talisman's voyeuristic gaze, Freya felt pleased by the praise from Little Dragon Girl.
In contrast to their goddess's cheerful mood, the members of Freya's Familia were somewhat downcast.
Just like yesterday, this group of people suffered the humiliation of being knocked unconscious from the front.
Even though they were on guard, they were still powerless to fight back.
"He reminds me of the heroes and empresses I've faced in the past..."
Hero and Empress are the leaders of Zeus's and Hera's Families, respectively.
One is Lv.8, and the other is Lv.9.
In his youth, Ota challenged both of them and, unsurprisingly, was soundly defeated.
Even after the two clans were defeated in their campaign against the Black Dragon, and both the hero and the empress perished, they were unable to avenge their defeat.
I thought I would never encounter anyone stronger than those two monsters in my memory.
As it turned out, the boy whom Lady Freya favored opened his eyes.
Whether it's his combat skills or his stats, Broly exudes an overwhelming sense of power.
But what's even more disheartening is the opponent's growth rate...
"He's even better than yesterday."
For three consecutive days, Ota finally confirmed this: the Saiyan boy who came to fight them each day was stronger than the opponent of the previous day.
It was as if defeating this group of people who were much weaker than him would grant the opponent a large amount of experience points, and their ability points would continue to grow as if there were no limits.
And that is indeed the case. Freya's Familia's Battle Wilderness is like a daily experience dungeon. Although it is meant to please Freya, Broly himself gains more stat growth than when he goes to dungeons to grind monsters.
In just three days, Broly's ability value, which was originally 21 seconds, jumped to 27 seconds.
Clearly, the high-level adventurers from Freya's Familia provided him with a substantial amount of experience from defeating opponents of higher levels.
The judgment of divine grace is very strict for great deeds, but it is very rigid in terms of experience points gained; whatever amount is given is given.
Broly's surface level is Lv.1. Fighting anyone here is a level above your own, and although no one is killed, defeating them seems to grant experience as well.
"Good morning, everyone. It's another nice day, but why do you all look a little pale?"
With the addition of top healers Amid and Haici, the research on wreckage repair in the magic laboratory has made great progress. Broly was in a very good mood, so when he arrived at the Freya Familia's battle wilderness and saw a group of people with stern faces, he couldn't help but ask them questions out of curiosity.
"Whose fault do you think this is all?"
Hedin said irritably.
"It can't be my fault, can it...?"
Broly's voice gradually faded as the group of people in front of him remained silent, staring at him with dead fish eyes.
Being beaten up every day, and watching the people beating them grow stronger like rockets, Ota and the others are already considered to have very strong mental fortitude not to become depressed from the beatings.
"Oh, right, didn't you want to show off your bravery in front of Lady Freya? I can help with that."
"Are you going to help us by knocking us out?"
"Uh, no, it's about training and guiding you to become stronger."
"Huh?!"
"I have previously trained members of the Loki Familia, including the Hero Commander; my track record is verifiable. What are your thoughts on this?"
Upon hearing this, the cat-man youth Allen immediately swallowed hard. Wasn't his pursuit of Freya precisely for the sake of greater power?
Freya's Familia did not hesitate for long before agreeing.
Well, actually, they had no choice.
You either get knocked out, or you try to accept the other person's guidance, become stronger, and then get knocked out again.
The former gained nothing, while the latter at least had the hope of becoming stronger hanging in the sky.
