Chapter 846 The Ace That Breaks The History

Due to the situation with Ottar, everyone quickly returned to the Loki Familia. By now, the Fire Keeper had settled into the Loki Familia, and she was quite happy with this new life, as were Igorr and the others.

Given his impressive strength, Eygon had also joined the Loki Familia. This family was no joke. In the past, when Asahi accidentally killed the Nun while playing the game, this guy had relentlessly chased him down with his mace, leaving him rather upset.

Eygon's strength was formidable as well. Some of the people who emerged from that world were sent out of Orario by the Loki Familia to live elsewhere.

Those who stayed ended up joining the Loki Familia, which only bolstered its power.

With someone like Riveria around, it was easy to assess these newcomers, so there was no need for excessive worry.

Once back with the Familia, everyone sought out Loki and explained the situation.

"So that's how it is. With Freya involved, it makes sense. I've always told you guys not to mess with her."

"Now let me tell you why she knows about this situation. When gods descend, their divine powers are sealed, but some gods have certain traits that can't be sealed."

"For example, take that guy who brews divine wine. He doesn't do it through divine power, but through innate talent. Miach is skilled in herbal concoctions, and Hephaestus excels in crafting, these abilities can't be sealed."

"Similarly, Freya has a talent for observing souls. There are differences between worlds, so the life and soul in each world should be the same. Freya must have seen the souls of people like the Fire Keeper. That's it."

"If a soul is different, naturally she would send someone to investigate. But who would have thought she'd send Ottar, and he ended up getting totally wrecked in that world? Freya really took a huge loss this time."

"Finn, you did well by leaving Ottar's body in that world. Although some may suspect our Loki Familia, it's not something we did, so there's no need to worry too much!"

Loki was unconcerned, even somewhat amused. After all, Freya was one of the few gods she found particularly annoying, along with Apollo and Ishtar. Basically anyone who got on her nerves.

In her eyes, Freya was akin to a slut, and this goddess had certainly made a mess of things.

"Let's leave it at that for now. There's no need for anyone else to dwell on this matter. By the way, Ais, it's time for you to start your strengthening. Let's see how far you can grow!"

Loki was now intrigued. The further one progresses in leveling up, the more difficult it becomes. While it might be possible to accumulate all attributes to S-rank when advancing from Level 1 to Level 2, things change drastically at the higher-level.

Even Ais couldn't push all her abilities to A-rank, let alone the higher S-rank.

As adventurers advance, their development focuses on specific attributes. For instance, Riveria only needed to concentrate on her magic, while other aspects, like agility, could be more secondary.

Having a broad range of attributes isn't necessarily a disadvantage, even if they're at a basic level, as their main focus is magic.

Not everyone is a protagonist, and not everyone is a time traveler. It's not easy for ordinary adventurers to grow stronger.

Thus, the Fire Keeper quickly infused Ais with a vast amount of souls, allowing her to seek out Loki for a level-up.

For leveling up, the only criterion was defeating creatures stronger than themselves, and Ais had already met this requirement.

"Sure enough, with the dual enhancements, Ais has become even stronger!"

After updating her status, the high-ranking members of the Loki Familia, including even Asahi, glanced at the status sheet, which showed Ais's attributes before her level-up.

"All her attributes have reached four digits, and her level evaluation has hit SSS-rank. This is unbelievable! In Orario, reaching S-rank is already considered a breakthrough, but after using the soul amplification, you've shot straight to SSS-rank, Ais. Congratulations! Although you've just entered Level 6, your power rivals that of seasoned Level 6 adventurers!"

Finn remarked. The attribute growth was indeed astonishing. The next step was to support all the Level 5 members of the Familia to reach Level 6. For those few, it wouldn't be much of a problem. Once they hit Level 6, it would naturally bring greater benefits to the Familia.

Now that their strength had grown, the priority was to elevate the lower-ranking members.

Even if a family has one person who isn't particularly strong, it doesn't matter. Take Ottar, for example. Although Freya's Familia has Level 5 members, in a real battle, a few of Loki's Level 5 members could easily neutralize their combat effectiveness.

And Finn, Riveria, and Gareth, all at Level 6, could hold off Ottar. While they couldn't kill him, in a true fight, Freya's Familia would suffer greatly. Now that Ais had reached LV6 as well, the odds were even better.

Moreover, Ais had achieved SSS-rank, making her combat prowess even more formidable. If Ottar were still alive, the four of them together would make it nearly impossible for him to escape.

After all, Ais's speed was a considerable advantage, while Ottar specialized in defense and brute strength. With Riveria's interference, Ottar wouldn't stand a chance of fleeing.

"This is quite surprising. By the way, Asahi-san, do you have some time to talk?"

Loki asked, and Asahi nodded. He knew Loki was eager, especially after witnessing the benefits the dungeon world had brought to her Familia.

And given that Asahi was known as a traveler between worlds, a question naturally arose… Are there other worlds? Could these worlds bring more benefits to her Familia, possibly even allowing her Familia members to become gods.

This way, she wouldn't have to face the inevitable separation from her beloved Familia members.

After all, the lifespan of gods is infinite, and so is the sealing of their divine powers. Many Familia members leave as they age because they don't want to see their god and companions grieve over their death.

Such endless cycles would even cause gods to feel sorrow. While the gods of this world have long lifespans, they are also deeply emotional. Loki didn't want to witness such scenes.

She hoped to find a solution, and Asahi was the key to achieving that.
