"Status... SSS1999?" What is this?
Aiz could understand every letter and number in this Status, but when put together, it made no sense to her.
Wasn't the maximum Status S? Why was there suddenly an SSS?
Although Aiz was one of the high-ranking members of the Loki Familia, she truly didn't have much information regarding breaking through the limits of Status, as most people wouldn't talk about such things.
So, upon learning this news, Aiz immediately displayed intense frustration, because she herself had never broken through the limits of her Status; it had even taken her a year to level up to Lv.2!
But Hyacine and Barbara, who were right in front of her, had done it in just four days!
"Why am I so weak?"
In an instant, just for a fleeting moment, a trace of black aura suddenly appeared in Aiz's pupils, but it was still noticed by the two people around her.
"Aiz!"
"Don't look down on yourself!"
Aiz, with her head bowed, was immediately pulled into an embrace by the two girls. Because Aiz was quite tall, this was the only way Hyacine and Barbara could pull her into their arms; after all, they... were about as tall as Empress Cerydra!
And if they said that, they would definitely be sentenced to death by Her Majesty... so they'd better not say it~
"Hyacine... Barbara... am I useless?"
The blonde girl rarely revealed her inner thoughts; after all, within the Familia, she belonged to the quiet and reserved type.
However, now, in front of two people possessing maternal warmth, Aiz finally revealed her vulnerable side.
That "Sword Princess," who could slaughter members of the Dark Faction without a change in expression and remain unmoved even when covered in blood, was actually showing such a pathetic expression. If people outside knew, their jaws would surely drop, right?
But Aiz didn't care at all, because in the current situation, she was just a little cutie curled up in her mother's arms.
"Of course not, Aiz."
"You just haven't unleashed your true potential yet, so let us help you train!"
"Believe that in the near future, you will definitely be able to become a great Adventurer!"
"A great... Adventurer?"
Aiz silently repeated these words, and combined with the sunshine-like expressions of the two girls in front of her, the darkness in her eyes began to fade, gradually transforming into a rainbow.
It was as if Hyacine and Barbara were reflected in her eyes, existing only within Aiz's memories...
"Yes! Aiz will definitely become a great Adventurer!"
"Then Hyacine and Barbara must be too!"
"Eh? Do we have to as well?"
"Of course, we are going to be Adventurers for a lifetime!"
A lifetime, huh...
Aiz's words did indeed touch Hyacine and Barbara, but they immediately hid their own situation, letting no one discover it.
"Since that's what Aiz wants, then so be it..."
"We will be Adventurers for a lifetime, okay!"

"The Fallen Spirit... is actually gone? Are you not joking with me?"
"After confirming the news, I came to find you immediately; how could I be joking?"
In a secret room, two deities, a male and a female, were discussing something with serious expressions. From the content of their conversation, it seemed possible to determine that they were not deities who were helping Orario.
"But I still don't want to believe it... within Orario, besides the already vanished Zeus Familia and Hera Familia, who else possesses the ability to subjugate the Fallen Spirit?"
Let alone the Loki Familia, even if they were to join forces with the Freya Familia, it would be impossible to take down the Fallen Spirit.
Because that is a special monster that transcends this era and possesses ancient power; only the monster-like Adventurers among humans could stand against it.
In other words, it was fortunate that the Fallen Spirit did not directly invade Orario; otherwise, with the city's current combat strength, they wouldn't even be able to put up a fight!
"Wait, I think I've thought of two people... wasn't there something that was all the rage a while ago?"
"Plus, a few days ago, that Familia was clearly planning to go on an expedition, but they came back early... perhaps it was their doing!"
"You mean Loki? Impossible! I don't believe it!"
Speaking of Loki, the goddess's expression changed slightly, but she still refused to believe it.
"Enough, Ishtar!"
"It was Loki's doing, because among the children of her Familia, two special existences have just joined!"
"Dionysus, you mean... two 'Deliverers'?"
The identities of the two deities were obvious; they were Dionysus, the deity who colluded with the Fallen Spirit, and Ishtar, the goddess of the Pleasure Quarter. Even in the original novel, the positioning of these two deities remained that of villains. And dirty villains at that!
"Deliverers? You mean those two jokes that Ouranos designated?"
When she first heard the word "Deliverer," Ishtar hadn't taken the other party seriously at all; after all, how could a Deliverer be born in this world?
So, in less than a day, Ishtar had forgotten about this matter; after all, she still had many men to dote on.
But now, when Dionysus mentioned the Deliverers, Ishtar immediately understood what was going on.
"Loki Familia, expedition, Fallen Spirit... Deliverers?"
"So that's how it is, damn you, Ouranos!"
Ouranos:???
Just from a few words, Ishtar had analyzed quite a bit of intelligence, but whether this intelligence was useful, only she herself knew.
"So what should we do next?"
Ishtar's expression was terrible. If the main body of the Fallen Spirit had died, wouldn't she be missing a card to use against Freya?
To deal with such a goddess, her current methods were far from enough!
"No, there is still a chance!"
Dionysus's expression was cold, and a glimmer of light appeared in his eyes.
"Although the main body of the Fallen Spirit is dead, we still have some of its clones on us! As long as we cultivate them properly, it won't be a problem to produce another Fallen Spirit!"
"When that time comes, we must make the Loki Familia pay the price!"
The plan had originally been nearing its end, but the Loki Familia had suddenly disrupted Dionysus's arrangements, causing his years of planning to go bankrupt. How could he swallow this anger?
"And me!" Ishtar also raised her head. "Doesn't the Loki Familia have two Deliverers? It seems they are both female?"
"When the time comes, don't kill them; I still want them to welcome my guests!"
This sentence from Ishtar directly caused Dionysus to widen his eyes, and then he helplessly held his head.
"If it's about being ruthless and vicious, I really can't compare to you goddesses!"
Dionysus only intended to kill the other party and make them pay a painful price, but what about Ishtar? She was actually planning to have the Deliverers welcome guests? Truly vicious!
But there was no dissatisfaction on Ishtar's face; instead, she wore a smile, as if what Dionysus had just said was a compliment.
"What does that matter?"
"As long as they are women, they can't escape from my grasp!"
"Aren't Deliverers women too?"
