About half an hour after Levi began the advancement of his 'Materialization of the Soul'.
At the main gate of the Hestia Familia residence, Demeter, Astrea, and Artemis met unexpectedly.
"Ara~" Demeter rested one hand on her cheek, greeting them with a smile. "Astrea, Artemis, good afternoon~"
Artemis's cheeks flushed slightly, and she averted her gaze a little upon hearing this. "Good afternoon, Demeter, and you too, Astrea."
Among the three, perhaps only the Goddess of Justice had the purest thoughts—or perhaps she was simply better at concealing them.
"It's been a while since we met. I didn't expect our reunion to be at the doorstep of Hestia's home."
As she spoke, she looked at the two close friends before her.
"So, are you two also here to see Levi Bright?"
The orange-haired goddess and the blue-haired goddess did not deny it, nodding their heads in succession.
The 'Divine Might' that had covered the entire Orario just moments ago could still be perceived now that they were closer. Anyone within the Labyrinth City could not possibly have failed to sense it.
However, even if others were curious about Levi's current status, having no connection with Hestia or Levi, they could only obediently wait for the notification released by The Guild.
Moreover, since it involved a human ascending to godhood—or more accurately, topics related to faith and wish power—it was very likely that there wouldn't even be an explanation in the end.
But the three goddesses appearing here were different...
Demeter had made an appointment to visit last night; she had merely arrived an hour or two earlier than scheduled.
Artemis had now formed an offensive and defensive alliance with Hestia, so she could enter the Hestia Familia residence with any passable excuse.
Astrea was not much different. Her former dependents were all working for the 'Hero King'. As their Patron God, coming to visit her own children was only proper.
As for the actual situation, the three women were not fools; naturally, they could guess the true purpose of the others.
At this moment, the main gate of the Hestia Familia residence was pulled open from the inside.
Hephaestus stood within the doorway, raising her hand to her friends, an inexplicable smile flashing across her face. "What a coincidence today, a group gathering of the Olympia goddesses."
The fact that her relationship with Levi Bright was ambiguous had long since become a subject of flying rumors since the end of Monsterphilia, even if it wasn't universally known.
Coupled with the fact that Hestia hadn't gone out much recently, effectively maintaining silence towards the outside world, countless 'fun-seeking gods' who wanted to watch the drama of two goddesses fighting over one husband returned in disappointment.
Demeter paid no mind to her friend's teasing and asked directly after stepping through the door, "Where is Hestia?"
Hephaestus pointed towards the direction of the training field. "Watching over Levi."
Astrea asked, "Do you mind if we go and observe this 'Miracle'?"
Hephaestus shrugged. "I came specifically to fetch you all anyway."
With that said, she turned around and led the three women towards Levi's location.
Inside a transparent energy barrier, the figure of a young man with pale-gold short hair stood with his eyes closed.
Because they were less than fifty meters apart, even though the countdown to the skill's metamorphosis had already begun, Demeter, Artemis, and Astrea could still faintly sense a special Divine Might that was similar to the gods yet possessed some essential difference.
The twin-tailed goddess standing at the edge of the training field, seeing her friends appear, involuntarily lifted her head and puffed out her chest. A proud expression that said, "Look, isn't my child amazing?" surfaced on her face.
The trio of Demeter and the others had known Hestia for so many years, so they were naturally clear about this stove goddess's personality.
They immediately gave her a thumbs-up, giving her plenty of face.
After about five seconds passed, Artemis could finally hold it in no longer and softly asked the question in her heart.
"What is the situation with Levi right now?"
Hestia did not hide it, mainly because it couldn't be hidden.
Hearing this, she spread her hands. "As you can see, he is about to formally achieve the status of a 'Demigod'."
"So this rank actually truly exists~" Astrea let out a sigh of admiration.
Demeter also followed by nodding her head.
As everyone knows, in the DanMachi world, only two forms exist: deities and Lower World life.
As for a 'Demigod' situated between 'mortal' and 'deity', one had actually appeared thousands of years ago. However, that advancement method was related to the sacred fire stolen by Prometheus to the Lower World, so it could only be considered a special case.
But at this very moment...
The 'Hero King' Levi Bright was ascending from a mere mortal to a Demigod right in front of the gods of all Orario.
Even if there were secrets hidden on his person, it was enough to prove that the entire DanMachi world still held a massive amount of the 'Unknown' waiting for the gods to discover.
Artemis's eyes flickered for a moment.
Because she had awakened her Constellation, she already knew of the existence of the 'Demigod' status beforehand.
Hearing Hestia's response at this moment, although she felt surprised, it was only to that extent.
However...
"After becoming a Demigod, will Levi be able to possess an endless lifespan like us?" The Moon Goddess asked this after a pause.
As soon as these words came out, Demeter and Astrea also subconsciously turned their heads to look at the twin-tailed goddess who had the closest relationship with the 'Hero King' among those present.
Hestia crossed her arms and paused for a moment upon hearing this.
Immediately, the corners of her mouth curled into a smile. "That's right~ My Levi is already an Eternal!"
"..."
Although they had long since deduced the corresponding conclusion through divine wisdom, hearing the affirmative answer from a relevant party still caused Demeter and the other two to fall into silence.
Astrea was actually relatively fine. Among the group, her affection for Levi was the lowest; she merely lamented in her heart the good luck of Hestia and Hephaestus, who could spend the countless years to come together with their lover.
But Demeter and Artemis...
They both had developed considerable affection for Levi because the children of their Familias had been saved.
It was just that out of consideration for Hestia, they had hidden their little thoughts—although The Blue Ribbon had long since seen through exactly what her friends were thinking via the Falna on Levi's back.
But now.
A member of the opposite sex whom they held affection for, and who possessed a nearly eternal lifespan, was standing not far away.
Let alone Artemis, who was originally a Virgin Goddess and knew that Levi possessed the 'Orion' status, even Demeter could not help but have her heart beat fiercely.
She immediately opened her mouth: "Hestia, Hephaestus."
The Blue Ribbon and the red-haired goddess turned their heads.
Being gazed at by the two women with questioning looks, Demeter did not hesitate and directly stated her intentions:
"Levi Bright—can you share a bit of him with me?"
Hestia, Hephaestus: "..."
Astrea, Artemis: "!!!"
"Oh my, oh my~" The Goddess presiding over Justice covered her cheek, not knowing what she should say for a moment.
The blue-haired Moon Goddess flushed red directly: "No! I don't agree!"
