Because the topic was too erratic and outrageous, even Levi didn't know what expression to make at this moment.
Ishtar, however, seemed to genuinely feel that the status of 'God's Husband' she offered was a glory.
Ignoring the reactions of the person in front of and beside her, she simply continued on her own, "You need Valis, right? As long as you become my husband, then the Ishtar Familia's wealth is yours to use."
"Not only that, all the girls in the Pleasure Quarter will be yours too."
The audience seats, which were originally excitedly discussing the upcoming Sword Festival, suddenly became quiet enough to hear a pin drop.
Leaving the gods aside—after all, they didn't possess the universal morals of the Lower World to begin with. They just treated the scene before them as pure amusement.
As for the other adventurers and commoners, although they had long heard that the gods' worldviews might be a bit abnormal, hearing Goddess Ishtar's tough words with their own ears still shook many people's hearts.
But soon, a small group of adventurers showed looks of envy.
As the actual controller of the Pleasure Quarter, the Ishtar Familia's wealth was famous. And those beautiful girls with various styles...
Why did men of the Lower World want to become adventurers, if not for fame, money, and women?
Hearing Goddess Ishtar's words at this moment, many people wished they could replace the Hero King, and then, disregarding everything else, agree directly.
Unfortunately...
The one invited by Ishtar was Levi.
And he, because of the education received in his previous life, was already quite disgusted with vice.
It was just that, in his original plan, Levi intended to wait until the casino problem was solved first, then slowly deal with the Ishtar Familia and the Pleasure Quarter.
But now...
Thoughts flashed quickly in his mind, and the young man with short pale-gold hair opened his mouth.
Just as he was about to speak words of refusal, in the next instant, Demeter standing beside him couldn't hold back first. With a zero-frame startup, Pa!, she left a clearly carved red palm print on Ishtar's face.
After doing all this, she acted as if nothing had happened. While shaking her wrist, she said with a gentle tone and soft attitude, "Ishtar, if you want to be in heat, please go back to your own base to do so. You can't make a fool of yourself here~"
Ishtar: "!!!"
The purple-haired, dark-skinned goddess was abruptly slapped. For the first two seconds, she was indeed a bit dazed.
But soon, infinite anger spawned on her face. She pointed her right finger at Demeter, stuttering, "You, you, you..."
The orange-haired goddess maintained her smile. "Of course, if you are unwilling, I can also send you directly back to Tenkai."
Hearing this, Ishtar couldn't help but sneer aloud.
"Heh, a Familia that doesn't even have a Lv.3, dares to attempt starting a War Game with me?"
"War Game~ That's too much of a waste of time." Demeter shook her head.
While speaking, she signaled Levi beside her with her eyes. Seeing the latter nod imperceptibly, she walked forward.
The next second, her originally seemingly weak and boneless right arm suddenly erupted with speed that only high-level adventurers possessed.
With just a single punch, she knocked Ishtar back several steps, making her cry out in pain and kneel on the ground.
"!!!"
Seeing such a scene, let alone those ordinary people and adventurers, even the other gods present were stunned in place.
Although Demeter was only an Agricultural Goddess, when releasing Divine Power, she could easily beat up high-level adventurers.
However, due to the connection between gods and controlling the Divine Domain, once Divine Power is revealed in the Lower World, they will be immediately sent back to Tenkai.
So, except for those War Gods, the other gods, after coming to the Lower World, actually have combat power no different from ordinary people.
But right now...
Demeter displayed strength far exceeding the gods of the Lower World, and she didn't use Divine Power!
How could the gods on the scene not understand what this meant.
"Demeter, you..."
A goddess on good terms with Demeter opened her mouth, wanting to explore this 'Unknown' that had never appeared before. But she swallowed the words back after only saying a few.
It wasn't that she wasn't curious, but the answer was already very obvious.
—Demeter obtaining this power comparable to an adventurer; no matter how one thought about it, it was impossible that she researched it herself.
Obviously, there was not only one person on the scene who thought of this point.
In an instant, dozens of fanatical gazes fell on the blond boy standing behind the orange-haired goddess to the side.
Being watched by everyone, Levi, who was long accustomed to similar scenes, didn't care at all.
At the present moment of transforming 'Two-phase Divine Power' into 'Three-phase Divine Power (Pseudo)', he was at most less than half a day away from obtaining a status on par with the gods.
To put it more bluntly, he truly possessed the confidence to flip the table.
Consequently, special abilities like 'Constellation Awakening' that originally needed strict secrecy could now be exposed—of course, mainly because he wanted to continue filling the 'Life Stars' in the 'Starry Paradise'. To increase the efficiency of the 'Universal Constellation Formation' producing starlight, he still needed to resonate with a large number of Constellations.
Thoughts flashed quickly in his mind, and Levi coughed lightly. "A kind of 'complete ability' I recently awakened, named 'Constellation', can help humans and gods awaken their Natal Constellations and obtain corresponding bonuses."
He spoke somewhat vaguely, but the gods present understood without exception.
The so-called 'ability' in the mouth of the 'Hero King' was fundamentally an Arcanum that only gods could control, or at the very least a fragmentary Arcanum!
In an instant, the gods showed amazement, and the goddesses' eyes twinkled.
Even Ishtar, who had just climbed up from the ground, seemed to forget the unpleasantness just now. Like a female leopard eyeing prey, she cast a salacious gaze at the pale-gold haired boy not far away. "Levi Bright, I want to get you more and more."
As for Freya on the side, her cheeks were already scarlet, wishing she could immediately snatch her Odr home.
Goddesses of Beauty are mostly solipsistic. It was so at this moment.
Whether Ishtar or Freya, they seemed to see Levi's distant attitude towards them.
A glimmer of light flashed in the outer ring of their pupils, and they unexpectedly used their 'Charm' Arcanum in unison.
If it were when Levi first arrived in Orario, or shortly after the War Game with Apollo ended, facing the Charm of a Goddess of Beauty, he could at most barely resist relying on the equipment he forged himself.
But nowadays, the high Abnormal Resistance provided by magic and skills like Starry Paradise, Cold Edge Martial Arts, Yin Yang, and Freya's Loving Protection which had long turned into a passive state, allowed Levi to take two Charms head-on without his mind producing even the slightest alienation.
