Though they were two girls who didn't look very old, their voices were unexpectedly beautiful, easily causing the surrounding crowd to immerse themselves and become unable to extricate themselves. After all, both Hyacine and Barbara possessed the talent to be idols.
To the vast majority of ordinary people and low-level adventurers in Orario, Hyacine was the Messiah designated by Ouranos.
However, to high-level adventurers, it was just another piece of news. During their observation just now, they didn't feel that sense of pressure belonging to a 'Messiah' from the two girls.
It could only be said that the two girls hadn't grown up yet. Even so, they could still instant-kill Hyakinthos, the captain of the Apollo Familia.
Those low-level adventurers surely couldn't match such talent; even the Loki Familia and Freya Familia, currently known as the Two Walls of Orario, would find it difficult to see their backs.
Perhaps only the legendary Zeus Familia and Hera Familia at their peak could compare.
Why legendary?
Because the Familias of Zeus and Hera had left Orario many years ago; the world now belonged to the Loki Familia and the Freya Familia.
'In other words, the Dark Era has passed.'
'We don't have to face the threat of the Evilus at every moment, but...'
For Hyacine and Barbara, this was both good news and bad news.
The good part was that the Evilus had been eliminated; they didn't need to worry about those villains coming out to cause trouble or even carry out assassinations while they slept at night.
The bad part was that the girls couldn't heal the wounded and rescue the dying in that desperate era. If they could, they would surely be able to quickly reach the requirement of saving ten million people, right?
Instead, in the current situation, Hyacine and Barbara couldn't actively create trouble, and it was difficult to find effective targets for treatment within The City.
Even if they could perform spiritual healing, it wasn't something a simple song could achieve. After all, once the singing stopped, the girls' task count had only increased by two people.
'But there's no need to worry too much. Even if Orario is in an era of peace now, it's still the center of the world, the setting where the story takes place...'
'It's still the disaster-ridden City we remember!'
Looking at the cheering crowd below their residence, Hyacine and Barbara quickly chose to leave.
After all, there was a priority to everything. They were here to heal the wounded and rescue the dying, so physical treatment would certainly be primary, supplemented by spiritual healing.
Looking at the two dressed-up girls in the mirror, Hyacine and Barbara quickly returned to their Roleplay state.
"Though we haven't decided which Familia to join yet, I'll work hard!"
"Keep it up, Knight!"
"Du-du-du—!"
Though this was only the second day for the two people and one horse in Orario, in terms of fame, they were perhaps more prominent than the high-level adventurers who had trained hard here for many years.
Surely no one would refuse Hyacine and Barbara joining their Familia... right?
"Ouranos, you've really done something incredible..."
Today, the Underground Altar welcomed a blonde Deity wearing a hat. Judging by his expression, however, he seemed quite dissatisfied with a certain matter.
"It's not just me; all the Deities of Orario have turned their attention to those two children... It's going to bring quite a lot of trouble!"
The blonde male god was named Hermes, and he was a... very interesting Deity.
He looked like a fellow who frequently loitered in the Pleasure Quarter and spoke in an almost hyperbolic manner, but in reality, he possessed extremely high IQ and EQ, and was a Deity who commanded a vast amount of intelligence.
While there were many things he didn't care about, he absolutely had to ask clearly about the 'Hero' appearing in Orario.
No, perhaps it wasn't a 'Hero' anymore, but the 'Messiah' personally designated by Ouranos, the creation god of Orario!
That was far more impressive than being a Hero!
However, when he first heard this news, Hermes didn't feel particularly happy. On the contrary, he felt a hint of anger...
By what right did Ouranos do this?
With a single sentence, you've decided on the candidate to save the world. Then what are we Deities and adventurers supposed to be?
What were Zeus and Hera of the past supposed to be?
Clowns?
In Hermes's view, a Hero could be nurtured by Deities; after all, this era was the era of Falna.
But they absolutely could not be designated by a Deity!
The reason the gods came to the Lower World was to explore the unknown. If the future of the world was fixed, then what was the point of Deities coming to the Lower World?
They might as well just restart the game early!
So, early the next morning, Hermes came knocking to demand an explanation. If he didn't get the answer he wanted... he might do something irrational!
"It doesn't matter; they will solve it themselves."
Ouranos understood Hermes well enough, so he wasn't surprised by his arrival.
"Oh? You seem very confident in those two girls? Aren't you afraid they'll be schemed against by others?"
Hermes squinted his eyes, seemingly waiting for Ouranos's next answer.
"It's not confidence, but an established fact."
Ouranos's tone remained flat, not changing at all because of Hermes's tone.
"Did you use Divine Power?"
"No."
"Then on what basis do you say that?"
Hermes questioned him directly. After all, the pressure on his end was also immense. On the day the title of 'Messiah' emerged, many Deities came to him to inquire about the situation.
But how could Hermes understand Hyacine and Barbara?
These two seemed to have appeared out of thin air; no information could be investigated at all. Combined with Ouranos's actions, Hermes even suspected that Hyacine and Barbara were dolls made by Ouranos!
Furthermore, among those Deities asking him to scout for information, there were many troublesome fellows.
The one at the top of Babel...
The one in the Pleasure Quarter...
And the one who once went mad and declared war on the gods...
None of them were easy to deal with!
If he were being squeezed by those goddesses in other ways, Hermes would gladly accept it, and might even shed tears of gratitude. But this current way... was clearly not what he wanted.
Ouranos closed his eyes, seemingly weighing the pros and cons, but he soon spoke.
"...Because they are 'Children of God'!"
"What?!"
A completely unexpected answer. Hermes thought that after coming to the Lower World, he would never hear those words again, but now...
"You're saying that those 'Children of God'—which even Deities can't quite manage to produce even with a lot of effort—actually appeared in a pair?"
Hermes found it extremely absurd. Who was so reckless? To dare create Children of God in the Lower World? And they actually succeeded?
If this were translated into the gacha probabilities of Honkai: Star Rail, it would be no different from a single ten-pull yielding nothing but gold, and then using Undying Starlight to keep pulling gold until every gold card in the banner was at max Eidolons!
Madness!
This world has simply gone mad!
"So that's how it is. I finally understand why you would make them the Messiah..." Hermes let out a heavy sigh. "Though I don't know which old friend did this, I'll thank them on their behalf here."
"Hyacine and Barbara, is it? I acknowledge them... If even they can't save this world, then no one in the world can."
Hermes lowered his hat, making it impossible to see what he was thinking.
"So you don't mind if I do some extra things, Ouranos? Ordinary methods won't help 'Children of God' increase their levels..."
"It doesn't matter; you can do whatever you want." Ouranos's reply was equally supportive. "If an accident occurs, then let's just start over..."
As the words fell, the two Deities quickly reached a consensus.
Since they were 'Children of God', they should overcome all difficulties!
If they couldn't even do that, they wouldn't be fit to be the 'Messiah', and the world might as well be destroyed.
The things Hyacine and Barbara had to do next were no longer just saving the world from the hands of monsters...
But also saving the world from the hands of Deities!
Being a 'Messiah' isn't that easy!
