Chapter 39 - As Expected Of Gacha!
After parting with Hestia, Bell headed straight to the dungeon.
It's quite challenging to navigate the dungeon alone.
Once in danger, it's extremely difficult to escape.
But at this moment, Bell was surprisingly calm and focused.
He must avoid any accidents in the dungeon; otherwise, Hestia might return to heaven.
Her resolute expression made that clear.
In any case, such a situation had to be avoided.
"I absolutely hate incomplete stories," he thought.
"Back when I played Type-Moon games, I just couldn't stand endings that weren't perfect."
"Let me fix that!"
[Do you want to Gacha?]
"Yes!"
As the word left his mouth, a hundred items flew out from an open space and began to spin rapidly.
Under Bell's resolute gaze, a golden item appeared before him. It shone so brightly that Bell had to close his eyes.
The world remains constant over the centuries, but human life is like the dew at dawn or a bubble rising through water. Transitory.
Under Bell's shocked expression, a voice echoed around him. Then, without any suspense, the golden item merged into Bell.
As if struck by lightning, Bell lost consciousness.
[5-Star Item: Raiden Shogun Template]
[Description: Her Excellency, the Almighty Narukami Ogosho, who promised the people of Inazuma an unchanging Eternity.]
[Note: Rest assured! The template won't change the host's gender.]
[Powers: As the god of thunder, Raiden Shogun possesses the strength of a main god, equal to Zeus at his peak. Due to a contract with the heavenly principles, she can only use ten percent of her powers. However, there are no such restrictions in Danmachi. The host can fully wield the power of Raiden Shogun.]
[Raiden Shogun Template Unlock Percentage: 1.23%]
Meanwhile, in Orario...
Dark clouds gathered across the sky, and the entire city could hear the terrifying thunder within them. Then, under countless astonished gazes, a massive thunderbolt struck Babel.
A violent thunderstorm followed.
Some of the gods took deep breaths to calm themselves. Even they could feel the strength of the thunder.
Who were they? They were gods. Who could unleash such a terrifying thunderstorm?
There was no doubt that this was the work of a god. But why hadn't the god who used the thunder been sent back to heaven?
This was a proper use of Arcanum, yet no punishment came for the god.
Was their contract no longer in effect?
For a moment, countless gods were left stunned.
At Loki Familia Manor...
Gazing at the sky, Loki looked solemn and gathered her entire familia.
Seeing Loki's serious expression, Anakitty asked in a trembling voice, "Loki-sama, what is this?"
Loki remained silent.
"Is this Zeus?" Loki murmured in confusion.
At Hephaestus' shop...
"What is this?" Hephaestus was shocked. Then, as if remembering something, she asked, "Hestia!? Where's Bell?"
Hestia, who had been pacing back and forth, trembled as she answered, her fear clear in her voice. She was so scared that she wanted to enter the dungeon herself to protect Bell.
"He went into the dungeon... Hephaestus, we have to do something. This thunder, I'm afraid something might happen to Bell."
Hestia's eyes glistened with tears as she spoke, her anxiety evident.
"I'm going to the dungeon."
"Wait, idiot, don't jump to conclusions." Hephaestus stopped the reckless Hestia. She calmed her down and said, "You can feel him, right? Through the falna connection?"
"Yeah," Hestia nodded.
"Then believe in him. Besides, who knows what might happen if you entered the dungeon?"
"No matter what, we can't take that risk."
Hephaestus spoke in a serious tone, worried about Bell but bound by the rules. As a goddess, she couldn't enter the dungeon, as doing so would trigger the dungeon's mechanisms and potentially spawn incredibly powerful monsters.
They couldn't risk Bell's life due to their recklessness.
Meanwhile, outside Orario...
A man wearing a feathered hat stood by, his blonde hair swaying in the wind. His orange eyes were fixed on the terrible thunderstorm ahead.
"No... this isn't Lord Zeus," the man murmured.
Turning to the woman behind him, he said, "Let's go to Orario today. Something interesting is happening, Asfi."
"Um," the woman named Asfi nodded.
Meanwhile, the protagonist responsible for the unrest in Orario finally woke up.
"So powerful... if it weren't for the system placing my body in an unknown space..."
"I might've been discovered, not to mention attacked by monsters."
Bell trembled at the thought of the troubles he narrowly avoided.
But looking at himself, he took a deep breath.
Just 1.23% of the unlocked template had increased his strength tenfold. If he wasn't mistaken, he could now defeat Level 6 adventurers with ease.
No joke... he could even feel a divine aura emanating from himself.
[Don't worry, host. The system has sealed your divinity.]
"What...?" Bell asked, confused. "What do you mean by sealing my divinity?"
[No one will realize you're a god, not even the gods in this world. The falna will work as usual.]
[However, you can release your divinity if you want to reveal yourself as a god. But doing so will destroy the falna. The key point is, you're not under the contract of the mortal world, meaning you can use your full strength.]
"Thank goodness... I can finally hope to kill that one-eyed black dragon." Bell stood up excitedly. Looking at his clenched fists, he could feel an immense power coursing through him.
Such power was enough for him to stand by Hestia's side as her equal. While he accepted relationships between gods and mortals, as a man, he believed he should at least be worthy.
This was the most important reason why Bell wanted to reach Level 10.
Now, there was no doubt about it. He could reach Level 10 and make Hestia his own. He would be worthy of becoming eternal with her.
As expected, he was different from other Bell's.
