I like traveling the most

On the day of the long-awaited war game, the labyrinth city accumulated extraordinary enthusiasm and excitement.

All taverns opened early in the morning, and vendors were set up everywhere on both sides of the street. The shouting and noise disturbed this morning.

Only today, almost all adventurers chose to close for a day and squeezed into the tavern to watch the game, and looked forward to the arrival of that moment.

The 30th floor of the Tower of Babel.

The gods who were looking forward to the war game more than anyone else came here early, and of course some gods chose to watch with their children or adventurers.

Loki put his face against the window, looked down at the scene below and said: "Oh, the atmosphere is heated up."

The war game, which worked with merchants and others to liven up the atmosphere of the city, was an entertainment performance. Residents from other regions would come specially to watch the battle.

In addition to using this event to show the strength of the labyrinth city to the world for demonstration, the guild also wanted to take the opportunity to attract talented and promising adventurers to come here for training.

Most importantly, the war game is a top entertainment activity pursued by the gods.

But Loki's tone was not as excited as expected.

Hephaestus on the side was a little surprised and asked in confusion: "What's wrong, Loki, you don't look like you are in a good mood? Don't you like this kind of occasion the most?"

Loki is a famous god of fun in the Labyrinth City.

She is famous for her insidiousness and cunningness. In addition to being good to her family's children, she has the same top ability to stir up trouble as Freya, and sometimes the things she does are enough to make people angry.

"Haa——"

A rare sigh came from the mouth of the God of Mischief. Loki seemed to have lost his strength. He leaned against the window and said uninterestedly: "Sorry. Only this time, I really can't get interested."

"Why?"

"Why... Think about it, the foreplay lasted for an hour, but the main play only lasted for five minutes. It ended in an instant. Anyone would feel unsatisfied."

"Can you stop using ambiguous words to explain, where are you from, greasy uncle?!"

The one-eyed Hephaestus rolled her eyes at her unhappily.

But what the other party said was right.

For this clan war, the city did its best to promote it, and even sent hundreds of people to clean up and repair the ancient ruins. Such a great deal of trouble was just to let the bored gods find some fun to kill time.

And Loki still couldn't get interested, as expected...

"You don't think Hestia is good either?"

"Huh?"

"I mean, those children alone can't break through the ruins."

Hephaestus looked worried.

Even if several children from the clan temporarily joined to help before the clan war, it would be impossible to break through the defense of hundreds of people, not to mention that the opponent was the LV3 [Light Pet Emperor of the Sun].

That guy is definitely not an ordinary person.

"Hahahahaha————"

At this time, a loud laughter came from behind, attracting the attention of both of them.

Turning around, the first thing that caught my eye was the grin that was almost to the back of the ears, and the neatly exposed white teeth.

Who is this? Too dazzling.

The light reflected by the teeth was a bit dazzling, so the two of them couldn't help but block it slightly with their hands.

A blond male god with a laurel crown on his head walked towards them in the morning. It was not until the light shrank that they could see who was coming. ♦♦  ♦♦

"Apollo."

"Hey, Hephaestus and Loki, the weather is really nice today. How are you feeling? Are you looking forward to it as much as I am? Hahahahahahahahaha————"

Apollo laughed loudly, and his smug look was no longer concealed.

After all, in his opinion, he had already won the game, and Bell would definitely be in his pocket, and Xiaolin would also be included.

How could he not be happy with double happiness?

Seeing his stupid look, Hephaestus held his forehead and sighed.

It's not even halftime yet, why is the champagne open?

On the contrary, Loki, who had been lacking interest, suddenly became interested. Her narrow eyes curved like a fox, and she asked with a smile: "Apollo, do you think you have already won?"

"Isn't it?"

Apollo asked subconsciously.

That self-evident look was a bit cute and stupid, causing Loki, who originally wanted to tease him, to suddenly lose interest.

Although she could enjoy the CG of Apollo's defeat, she was not very happy when she thought that the winner was the dwarf who didn't get along with her.

"Ah, really? Then I wish you good luck."

"Huh???"

Loki's reaction was too big before and after, and he always felt that something was wrong.

But Apollo, who was not smart or was overwhelmed by excitement, didn't care about this little thing, but said a little anxiously: "Let's go in quickly, I can't wait to see Hestia's hesitant expression."

Seeing that the time was almost up, Hephaestus nodded with Loki, and when they were about to enter the venue together, a beautiful goddess came quietly.

However, her beauty was so amazing that the three gods stopped walking until she came to them.

"Everyone, are you here to chat?"

"Freya, you are here today too."

The silver-haired goddess smiled and talked to him. Her every move was so tempting that Apollo's lustful eyes almost fell on her.

No one could resist the temptation of the goddess of beauty, not even gods.

Not to mention the sun god who was not particular about men and women.

Loki and Hephaestus also greeted Freya, and then moved away from Apollo with a little disdain.

After greeting, Freya raised her lips, threw a wink at Apollo, and asked with a little charm: "How about it, Apollo, are you confident that you can win this war game?"

"Of course! No matter how I think about it, I won't lose!"

The confident sun god straightened his chest.

He felt extremely honored to be cared for by the goddess of beauty.

Unexpectedly, Freya said: "Really. Then Apollo, struggle as much as possible and put on a performance that is pleasing to the eyes for us."

"No problem!...Huh?"

Apollo agreed quickly.

But the next second, he found something wrong.

Struggle as much as possible, shouldn't this sentence be said to Hestia? No matter what, he is in a crushing position, right?

"Freya, did you say something wrong?"

"Really? Just assume I said something wrong."

The goddess of beauty still smiled. After saying hello, she, who was the last of the four to arrive, entered the venue first.

Apollo frowned and looked at the silver-haired goddess' charming back.

The other two goddesses followed, but when Loki passed by the sun god, he patted his shoulder and said:

"Good luck."

The sympathetic and pitiful expression was no longer concealed, and there was also some inexplicable anger.

Apollo, standing alone outside the parliament hall, clenched his fists.

After all, he is a god who has lived for hundreds of millions of years. No matter what, he is not an idiot. How could he not hear the weirdness between Freya and Loki?

Do you think I will lose?

How is it possible!

"Hestia, how can I lose? If I lose today, I will leave the Labyrinth City!"

Thinking of the difference in numbers between the two sides, Apollo, who had set a fatal flag, once again held his head high and walked into the council hall with the attitude of a superior.

With the arrival of Apollo, the atmosphere suddenly reached its climax.

"It's almost time."

Take out the pocket watch to show that noon is approaching, Hermes raised his chin and said to the sky: "Uranus, please allow us to use our power."

A few seconds later, he got a response.

"——Permission."

From the direction of the guild headquarters, the steady and majestic declaration that seemed to be heard echoed in the council hall.

Hermes raised his mouth and snapped his fingers.

Instantly, a mirror appeared in the void.

Not only in the council hall, but also in various taverns, streets, fountain squares, etc., as long as there are people gathering, this mirror will appear.

The sudden appearance of the mirror caused the crowd to start a commotion.

This is the only recognized exception for the gods to enjoy the entertainment activities in the underworld. It is also a divine art constructed by the divine power that can and can only be used in the underworld.

——Divine mirror.

It has the ability of clairvoyance. Even if the location is separated by two places, it can see everything at a glance.

Using the divine mirror, the gods will watch the ruins far outside the labyrinth city with the people of the underworld and the war games.

In the parliament, Hermes opened his arms and stirred the atmosphere, saying: "The mirror has been set up! Please allow me to explain again that the two sides of this war game are [Hestia Family] against [Apollo Family]! The method is a siege war! Now the warriors of both camps are already on the battlefield, waiting for the bell to announce the start of the war at noon!"

As he and the live broadcasters in the crowd explained, the atmosphere suddenly became hot.

Ignoring the noisy gods, Apollo walked towards Hestia. He came here simply to show his face, ready to taunt her when he won.

But Hestia, who was sitting in her seat, turned her face away and ignored him, causing the sun god, who had no place to use his strength, to shrug and return to his seat helplessly.

Then, it was noon.

The live broadcaster's tone became more excited, and he shouted: "Are you ready? The war game is officially opened!!!"

The deliberately raised tone, accompanied by the sound of the bell and cheers, kicked off the war.

... It should have been like this.

"Wait a minute!"

When the camera turned to the members of Hestia's family, Apollo immediately stopped.

Hermes asked in confusion: "What's wrong? Is there a problem?"

"If you ask if there is a problem, then of course there is one!"

Apollo pointed to the girl in a gorgeous dress in the magic mirror and asked loudly: "Why is she there? Even if she is Xiaolin's attendant, it was agreed that she was only allowed to find an assistant! Don't try to lie to me that she joined Hestia's family. I have been paying attention to it all this time!"

This guy...

is so stingy.

The gods who were stopped all looked at the noisy Apollo with contempt.

Originally, they had an absolute advantage, but they were still holding on to a servant. Was there any need to haggle over it?

Apollo shouted, "You dared to cheat and break the agreement in the sacred clan war, Hestia, you are too bold! Referee, I demand a direct verdict of my victory!"

He turned and shouted to the 'fair' Hermes.

But the Apollo's request was not responded to.

Hermes scratched his head and said with a slightly embarrassed expression, "You misunderstood, Apollo. Miss Liu Zi is not a human, she is actually a puppet."

"...Huh?"

Apollo was dumbfounded.

Puppet?

That gorgeous, lively, and vivid girl is not a human but a puppet?

He had never heard of this!

Not only Apollo, but the gods in the parliament hall all widened their eyes in disbelief after hearing the news, and whispered to their friends around them.

Apollo even shouted: "How is it possible? No matter how you look at it, she is a human! How can there be such a lively puppet girl?!"

"Altina, the magic power."

"Hmm?"

"I think it should be the alchemy technology developed by Altina, the magic power. After all, they have developed a ship that can travel in the desert. At worst, it can be obtained from a certain ruins. Anyway, no matter what, Miss Liuzi is definitely not a human, I can guarantee this."

Hermes explained to no avail.

Although he spoke ambiguously about Liuzi's origin, his words were biased towards Hestia, wanting others not to care so much.

However, Apollo did not agree.

The stingy sun god shouted: "No! That's not okay! How can you let her..."

"Too ugly, Apollo."

"Gah——?!"

The interrupted male god made a duck-like voice.

Freya opened her red lips slightly and said sarcastically: "Not being human means being a magic tool, and its function is the same as the adventurer's weapon. Apollo, are you so excessive that you don't even allow weapons to be equipped?"

"I...!"

Apollo was speechless.

He wanted to refute that there was a huge difference between the two, but the condemnation from the surroundings made him unable to speak, and his expression gradually became ugly.

"Don't worry, Apollo."

"Hermes?"

"This time it's a siege war, and a magic tool can't make any waves."

Hermes took the initiative to give him a way out.

Now that the war game has begun, the overly enthusiastic gods will definitely not allow it to be stopped like this. If he does that, he will definitely be condemned.

Sure enough, Hermes is his best friend!

Apollo was slightly touched.

Then, he said generously again: "It doesn't matter! Looking at her slender body, how could she possibly destroy the city wall? And the offensive and defensive battle must be won by the side with more people! Just consider it my last charity, and thank me well, Hestia."

Hestia didn't say anything, but the other gods sitting in the council hall thanked him one after another.

"Oh, thank you, Apollo!"

"You are so generous!"

"It's you!"

"It's only you, Apollo!"

...

The confident sun god lifted his golden hair in front of his forehead, enjoying the constant flattery from all around with a smug smile.

Only Hestia, Freya, and Loki snorted.

——Idiot!

Let's not talk about Hestia, but Freya heard from Ota that she felt a strong threat from Liu Zi, which could make the strongest alert of the LV7 Labyrinth City, which was enough to show how powerful Liu Zi was.

Not to mention Loki, according to Finn's report, it was Liu Zi who rescued Aisi at the critical moment under Xiaolin's instruction on the 59th floor.

Being able to swim in the depths of the dungeon, it shouldn't be easy to deal with a bunch of trash?

Just at this moment——

"Hey, look!"

Under the shouting of a certain god, all the gods subconsciously cast their eyes on the divine mirror.

Xiaolin took a step forward.

He closed his eyes and raised his hands flat in front of his chest. A crystal-like thing reflected light in his palms, and at the same time he was muttering something.

Could it be...

"Is he going to use magic?"

"At such a long distance?"

"And facing the city wall?"

Confused and puzzled, the gods did not understand the meaning of doing this.

Only Apollo, after a brief moment of surprise, held his stomach and laughed out loud: "Puff--Ahahaha! Hestia...you...hahahaha...are you kidding me? Don't you know how thick the city wall is?"

The ruins chosen for this war game are the defense line built by the once prosperous kingdom of Lakia.

The height of its stone wall is more than ten meters, and the thickness is impeccable. To break through this outer wall, at least you have to launch artillery magic, otherwise even high-level adventurers can't easily cross the line.

Think about two or three kittens of Hestia's family, how could they use magic to break through the city wall?

And when Apollo was about to laugh again, Xiaolin in the magic mirror finally finished chanting the spell, and his eyes with arms open also bloomed with terrifying brilliance, and his mouth opened wide and shouted a sentence.

Although the sound cannot be transmitted, his voice can still be "heard".

"————Explosion!!!"

Instantly, the magic power surged and gathered in the sky, and the powerful pressure even swept through every corner of the maze city through the magic mirror.

A chill swept over.

Whether it was the gods or the adventurers, they all rubbed their shoulders.

Something...

Something is coming!

Hermes pressed his hat, raised the corner of his mouth and sighed: "This is really too much."

A scorching sun suddenly appeared in the sky!

It slowly fell in the shock of the gods and the people of the lower world, and hit the city wall hard, and the battlefield that swept across the world rushed towards them.

Even though they were separated by two places, the spectators on the other side of the magic mirror seemed to be blown by the wind pressure, and couldn't help but look back.

Until the dust cleared, the repaired city wall was even more dilapidated than before, and could only be described as broken walls and ruins.

The spectators on the other side of the divine mirror swallowed their saliva subconsciously and were speechless for a long time.

I really like what the gods said.

"——Ah?!!!" xN
