When Izumi sent the girls over, he hadn't given them any specific instructions.
His message was simple:
Have fun however you like.
In other words, even if Avrora Florestina decided to bring her entire faction along to cause trouble, Izumi wouldn't object.
...
After hearing Kayo's explanation, Shiroyasha immediately broke into a smile.
She turned toward Avrora.
"Avrora-chan."
"Could you bring a few more people?"
"It would be best if you invited Leticia Draculea as well."
"This time, we're planning to make a really big scene."
Originally, Shiroyasha hadn't intended to involve Avrora's entire group.
The only reason she had brought Avrora alone was because she wasn't sure whether Izumi would approve.
Now it seemed that concern had been completely unnecessary.
The moment Avrora heard this, her eyes sparkled.
"No problem!"
"Should I call La Folia too?"
"She's pretty free lately."
"We can bring her along as well!"
Shiroyasha immediately gave her a thumbs-up.
"Excellent idea!"
"Bring as many people as possible."
"The more, the merrier!"
At this point, she was becoming increasingly excited.
Since Izumi was openly supporting their operation, there was no longer any reason to hold back.
Avrora happily vanished on the spot, rushing off to gather reinforcements.
...
Watching her leave, Shiroyasha's smile grew wider.
Then she suddenly turned toward Kayo.
"Kayo-chan."
"Are you sure there isn't anyone else you can bring?"
"No matter how many people show up, we'll take them."
Kayo immediately rolled her eyes.
"The people who wanted to come are already here."
"The rest aren't interested."
"So stop trying to trick me."
She wasn't some innocent little girl.
At least not mentally.
If age were measured properly, she was already an adult.
Even if Izumi still insisted on treating her like a child.
Shiroyasha laughed awkwardly.
"Fair enough."
"What a shame."
She genuinely felt disappointed.
The larger their force became, the easier it would be to overwhelm the Greek Gods.
Just then, Kayo suddenly thought of something.
"Why not post a mission?"
"Plenty of people would gladly participate in a raid against a divine pantheon."
"You don't need to rely only on us."
The moment she finished speaking, Shiroyasha froze.
Then her eyes lit up.
"That's brilliant!"
"An excellent idea!"
She immediately began considering the possibilities.
"There are plenty of powerful fighters in the Combat District with nothing better to do."
"They spend every day fighting anyway."
"Why not give them something worthwhile?"
"And..."
Her smile suddenly became dangerous.
"There are still several Human Final Trials wandering around Little Garden."
At that moment, certain individuals came to mind.
A bald-headed hero.
An incarnation of absolute evil.
And several other monsters.
If those people became involved...
The entire world of Little Garden might be turned upside down.
The more she thought about it, the better the idea sounded.
Soon, Shiroyasha became completely fired up.
...
The group immediately split up to begin preparations.
Among them, Algol moved the fastest.
Without hesitation, she posted a recruitment request across the system.
...
Special Mission
Target: Declare war on another world.
Requirements:
- Participants must possess Four-Digit rank or higher.
- Ugly people need not apply.
Reward:
None.
Mission Details:
- Everything you see may be looted.
- Including gods.
...
The mission spread across countless worlds almost instantly.
When people first saw it, they were confused.
No rewards?
Who would accept something like that?
But then they continued reading.
"Everything may be looted."
Suddenly, many people's eyes widened.
That single sentence alone was enough to attract countless adventurers.
However...
The next requirement left many people speechless.
"Ugly people need not apply."
"..."
"..."
"...What kind of nonsense is that?"
People everywhere exploded.
Was this a military campaign or a beauty contest?
Why was physical appearance part of the application process?
...
Several powerful alien races immediately felt personally attacked.
Some legendary warriors nearly vomited blood from frustration.
They were unquestionably powerful enough.
Yet they had been rejected before they even applied.
Simply because they weren't attractive.
It was beyond unreasonable.
But Algol couldn't care less.
To her, appearances mattered.
If someone wasn't pleasant to look at, she didn't want them around.
That was all there was to it.
Her standards were absolute.
...
Despite the absurd requirement, applications poured in endlessly.
After all, many worlds had already merged into Izumi's universe.
The number of Four-Digit-level fighters had increased dramatically.
And now there was an opportunity to openly invade a divine pantheon.
For many people, this was irresistible.
The chance to become rich overnight.
The chance to obtain divine authority.
The chance to seize treasures from gods.
Who would refuse?
...
One after another, powerful individuals signed up.
Heroes.
Warriors.
Kings.
Legendary figures.
Even numerous Heroic Spirits expressed interest.
Some factions treated the event like a national celebration.
Others saw it as the opportunity of a lifetime.
Applications flooded in at an astonishing pace.
Watching everything unfold from afar, Izumi couldn't help laughing.
"This is getting out of hand."
Originally, Shiroyasha's group had merely intended to settle a personal grudge.
Now?
Their operation was rapidly evolving into a full-scale interdimensional crusade.
And judging by the rate of recruitment...
By the time the assault began, the Greek Pantheon might find itself facing an army far larger than anyone had anticipated.
Including several particularly enthusiastic races whose reputation for chasing beautiful women was already legendary throughout countless worlds.
The coming battle was shaping up to be far more chaotic than anyone had imagined.
