"How did you know I was here?"
"You have too many flaws. Do you really intend to hide it?"
This was one of the benefits of working together with others. When there was trouble, there would be others to share the burden … er, I meant, share the responsibility.
Actually, Betty … or should I say, Beyana's disguise was truly terrible.
Forget about her sudden invitation to team up with me. It was understandable that she had divine powers and divine arts that surpassed her own Silver rank. She could just pretend that she didn't see a cute boy or something. The most ridiculous part was that she was able to easily find me when I had left the team.
Up until now, if I didn't want to be found, I would have done an excellent job of anti-detection. But even so, the fact that she was able to coincidentally "meet" me out of so many undead squads meant that she wasn't simple at all.
There was a problem with the Goddess of Wealth's priestess. Since she was able to use divine arts, the first thing that came to mind was the Goddess of Wealth herself. And as Aillé's chief financial manager, it was indeed necessary for her to go to the frontlines to check on the situation. At the very least, she would need to make a financial report. Naturally, she thought that Betty might be an incarnation of the Goddess of Wealth or a descendant of a Holy Angel.
As long as she had her suspicions, the rest was simple. After all, we all had a boss. What if a middle-level leader suddenly attacked us? I would complain to the boss.
"Hey, is this Aillé? I have something I'd like to ask you … "
This was probably how a middle-level manager would disguise herself and visit a lower-level department, only to receive a complaint from a lower-level employee that she was skipping work.
The rest was simple. Since she liked to disguise herself, I would let her do it.
At the very least, we were allies. Since we were together, it wouldn't be right for you to just watch if I was in trouble. Even if you didn't have any feelings for me, didn't you come down here for the sake of your business? You couldn't just stand by and watch if your business was threatened, right?
By the way, I felt quite accomplished ordering this Goddess of Wealth to pour tea for me for the past few days.
Goddess Priestess Betty slowly walked out. She still had the same face, but her pupils had turned silver, and she looked a little holy.
"There's no need to be in such a hurry to expose such an excellent volunteer helper. You can use her to help you in trouble? Roland, that's probably what you're thinking. In that case, you wanted me to boil your bathwater for you yesterday, and you even wanted to take a bath with me … were you intentionally torturing me? "
"Yes, that's what I was thinking."
I nodded and gave the silver-eyed Goddess a big thumbs-up, flashing a hearty smile and white teeth. What was there to hide from her?
"Mortal, you are so funny. But do you think that a False God can defeat us? "
Even in front of the silver-eyed goddess, Yins still had a calm expression, as if he didn't care about the current situation at all.
He waved his hand lightly, and a silver lion appeared. In the next moment, silver light twined around the lion's body, and the lion, which was clearly just an ordinary beast, suddenly grew bigger.
Two meters, five meters, ten meters … Finally, the lion turned into a huge monster. Its whole body was covered in strange metal leather armor, but it had the majesty of a divine beast.
The gigantic Divine Lion stared at Beyana with a profound gaze. Its extravagant lion fur seemed like a metal crown. A low-intelligence wild beast had transformed into a highly intelligent divine beast. I could tell from the pressure it was giving off that this was a power level that surpassed the peak of the Myth rank. In other words, it was likely that Beyana was a SemiGod. I doubted that she would be able to defeat this lion.
"In that case, False God, why don't you play with my pet?"
Seeing how Yins casually transformed a wild beast into a divine beast, I recalled the Frost Giants' beast-taming abilities. Previously, I had many guesses about the Titan Giants' power. Perhaps some of them were correct. The Titan Giants' power was related to the giants' special abilities, so we could guess the Titan Giants' power in reverse.
The Cloud Giants had the ability to control storms, and so did that giant Ultraman. As for Yins, he seemed to have the ability to control and strengthen ordinary wild beasts.
"Little Becky, can you defeat him?"
It wasn't that I was overthinking things, but I didn't have any confidence in defeating the Goddess of Wealth as she stood calmly on top of the lion's head. After all, in all the myths and legends related to her, she had never been known to be a good fighter.
"…"
The Goddess viciously glared at me. It was obvious that she wanted to settle the score with me.
Since Beyana was willing to appear here, it naturally meant that she had enough goodwill toward me. And since I had successfully shifted the blame — er, shared the blame, I could finally be a little happier.
She was acting as the Town Security (the manager of order). Even if she lost, there would naturally be a stronger Town Security (the higher-ups of the Town Security) to help her. There were also a few other troublemakers who were likely to be powerful as well, so what was there to worry about?
No matter if you were a God's Chosen who was capable of God's Descent or a True God's incarnation, please do your best. I shall cheer for you — yep, cheer from the bottom of my heart. Words were unnecessary, and there was no need to fight.
"Do your best! I believe that you'll definitely win!"
And so, I turned around and ran …
Why did I have to run? When the Ultraman fought against the small monsters, the unlucky ones were always the bystanders and the surrounding buildings. But when a True God's incarnation fought against a Titan Giant's incarnation, wouldn't everything nearby be finished?
What? At a time like this, I should shout "For the Goddess!" and then use my undying body to rush out and act as a meat shield? First of all, I wasn't one of those five abnormal undying cockroaches. This was a battle that could easily be settled by a powerful individual. Why did the weaklings keep sending themselves over and over again? Wouldn't it be more normal to directly use the top-level combat strength to sweep through everything?
Cough, getting back to the topic, at a time like this, I shouldn't cause trouble for my companions.
The War Angel incarnation gave me the ability to fly. It gave me the right to choose the battlefield.
Behind me was an endless storm of energy, while in front of me was the scene of the Ultraman fighting against the small monsters. Or, to be more precise, it was the Ultraman viciously beating up the small monsters.
Jill's Vine Treant form was now smashed to smithereens. Although there wasn't much of a difference in size, there was far too much of a difference in power level. Just a single clash caused the Vine Treant to begin collapsing.
And then, she was viciously beaten up. Although some of Oak Town's attacks landed on the Titan Giant, the Titan Giant directly ignored them. It seemed that this Titan Giant's magic resistance was rather ridiculous to be able to ignore 7-circle magic.
"Jill … you're so useless. But isn't this Ultraman going a bit too far?"
"You're beating up your daughter in front of her father? Do you even want to live!?"
Alright then, I directly ignored Harloys who was commenting on me. However, I was still blocked by the Titan Giant, Yins, who was still unperturbed. It would seem that the Titan Giant alone was enough to block Beyana.
"Tsk, I knew that none of those scammers would be reliable."
"Ah, what a sad conclusion. In fact, we still like you very much."
This time, a pretty boy named Wandering Poet jumped out. What was his name again?
"Soros?"
"It's Solonor … Fine then, that's also a fake name. I'm actually the Goddess of Music and Dance, as well as the Guardian God of the wood elves. My name is Solonor."
Alright then, I knew that these guys were just messing around with me. But, I figured that Solonor's gender was the same as Betty's. Since Solonor was a God, it was likely that he was faking it.
"… Um, is your sexual orientation fake as well?"
"Sorry, that's the real deal."
Alright then, I was deeply hesitating whether or not I should tell a certain wood elf sister that their Guardian God was actually a gay man! But now that Solonor was here, it seemed that he would be of great help.
Suddenly, a golden meteor streaked through the sky and smashed into the Ultraman's head. Right after that, a gigantic golden dwarf jumped onto the Titan Giant's head and started smashing it with his weapon.
"Hah, I actually have a chance to beat up my ancestor?"
And then, the battle between the Ultraman and the little monsters became a battle between the dwarves and the Ultraman.
However, that weapon seemed rather familiar. It was round and bulging, and there was also the sound of water splashing. It seemed just like … like a golden wine barrel?
"… Big sister Mary?"
"Mary, the Goddess of Iron Hammers and Wine Barrels. She's also the Guardian God of the Shield Dwarves. Apart from her age, everything else is real, including those naughty brats at home."
"Ah Gen?"
"… Do you really think that someone who messes around to such an extent can become a God? He's nothing more than a wild barbarian. Actually, everyone has always been curious as to just how far he can go. "
"You guys really have nothing better to do."
"Indeed. That's why Boss Aillé wanted us to come down here and see for ourselves so that we could have a good foundation for the future. It would be best if we could meet up with you. Aren't we here now?"
Alright then, so Aillé was involved as well. But couldn't you guys just tell me directly? This would be quite interesting … it would indeed be quite interesting.
"Besides, aren't we supposed to be ambushes? If it weren't for the fact that we're here … "
The gay God took out a rainbow-colored five-stringed zither and played it, causing a pleasant sound to ring out. He narrowed his eyes as he played a magical melody that caused the world before me to begin distorting.
"Go do what you need to do. I'd like to see just how strong the Titan Giants are."
Alright then. I took one last glance at Yins before flying away. However, I had a premonition that this wouldn't be the first time we met.
But right after that, I was blocked by someone else. It seemed that this person was actually someone in the same profession as me.
"Hello, Roland. I'm Zero. Perhaps you've heard of my name before. "
…
When the monster war unfolded outside Oak Town, the people inside the town were already dumbfounded.
First, a primordial Titan Giant appeared. Then, more and more Gods appeared, each stronger than the last. In the end, it was as if the Gods were fighting against each other. This was far beyond what the adventurers were capable of.
Samantha was doing her best to maintain order in Oak Town. Meanwhile, the adventurers felt quite uneasy. That was because the situation was obviously out of control. Now that the Gods had descended, the battle had reached a level that the adventurers were unable to reach.
What the adventurers were worried about was that if they accidentally got involved, they would mysteriously end up as cannon fodder.
However, there was one person who was worried about something completely different.
"According to our agreement, I should secretly open the city gates and let the undead enter … but is there any meaning to letting the undead enter the city now?"
