Danmachi: Strongest Familia

After leaving behind a casual remark, Sol cheerfully stretched out on the lounge sofa. 

Apollo had so enthusiastically provided him with divine power that it would be a shame not to make full use of it. He couldn't waste such a generous "gift." 

After concluding matters in Demacia, Sol turned his attention to Zaun. 

Why Zaun? Simple—for fun! 

Though he wasn't particularly short on manpower at the moment, he needed enough divine allies to strengthen the entire camp. 

Since Targon and the Shadow Isles couldn't be summoned, Zaun seemed like the next best option. 

Zaun was home to plenty of alchemical and technological masters. Who knew? He might even stumble upon a second money maker. 

With the scale of both the Morgana and Kyle families continuing to expand, the costs of maintaining operations had naturally skyrocketed. 

Although Piltover's technology was more advanced than Zaun's, Sol already had Heimerdinger. 

Honestly, having one Heimerdinger was like possessing half of Piltover in his pocket. 

Moreover, Piltover's tech was so advanced that it didn't mesh well with Orario's medieval-like society. On the other hand, Zaun's alchemy was much better suited to this world. 

Potions, for instance, were more easily accepted and understood by adventurers. 

This was the first time Sol had summoned a hero from Zaun, and he hadn't indulged in summoning for a while. 

In the latter stages of Demacia's development, he hadn't summoned many heroes, so this was a rare opportunity to relive the thrill of those early days. 

Excited by the prospect, he traced a circle in the air with his finger. A familiar portal materialized before him. 

"Ding!"

"Summoning successfully. Summoned entity: The Storm Fury—Janna!" 

Janna. Not bad. Another top-tier support to add to the roster. 

"Wait... who?" 

Sol snapped back to his senses. 

Did he hear that right? Did his parallel consciousness just confirm Janna's name? 

Isn't Janna the SSR (Super Super Rare) of Zaun's summoning pool? 

The SSR at the bottom of the card pool, summoned on the very first draw? 

"Did I just hit the jackpot?" 

So, miracles really do happen. 

Well, being eternal sure has its perks. It's not like time is wasted on luck when you've got infinite lifespan. 

Still, Sol couldn't help but smirk. "Let's aim higher next time!" 

His excitement was palpable. This wasn't just a casual summon anymore; this was a stroke of brilliance. 

Even though Sol planned to eventually empty Zaun's card pool, there was something uniquely satisfying about pulling gold-tier heroes. 

The sense of exhilaration was timeless—no matter how long he lived. 

——

Janna emerged gracefully from the portal moments later. 

Her legs hovered slightly above the ground, her flowing white garments accentuating her ethereal presence. The cool contrast of pure white undergarments against her silvery hair left Sol momentarily entranced. 

"As expected of Janna," he thought to himself, "bold as ever." 

Around her, the wind swirled playfully, forming a white bird that circled her in an endless dance. 

Janna, who was originally nothing more than a simple wind spirit, had undergone a significant transformation. 

In the context of this world, she resembled a wind fairy—a mystical entity attuned to nature's breezes. 

However, after years of receiving the unwavering faith of Zaun's people, Janna's existence had transcended its origins. Her life force had reached new heights of divinity. 

Although it was merely a realm for low-level gods, it bore a resemblance to land in its essence. 

But let's not confuse it with the divine. 

——

"The Avatar of the Wind is at your service." 

While Sol was still admiring Janna's beauty, she had already knelt gracefully on one knee. 

Compared to Kyle and Morgana, her display of respect felt far more genuine. 

However, the combination of her posture and attire had a profound effect on Sol, a dragon god. 

"You should rest for now," he said. "You can also start recruiting some Familia members in Zaun." 

The challenge of summoning a primary god was becoming evident. Zaun was just beginning to take shape—its basic infrastructure was underdeveloped, and it lacked a population. 

It would take time before Janna could establish her own Familia in Zaun. 

Still, there were plenty of people in Ionia and Demacia. 

It all depended on whether Janna was interested in them. 

——

"Well, if it isn't Janna! I didn't expect you to arrive so soon." 

As Sol escorted Janna out of the lounge, they ran into Morgana and Kyle, who had just walked through the door. 

Following her victory over Apollo, Morgana was in high spirits. 

Spotting Janna, Morgana immediately approached her and draped an arm around her shoulders. 

Wait—these two characters aren't connected, are they? How does Morgana even know Janna? 

"Of course, I do," Morgana said, seemingly sensing Sol's confusion. "Zaun is a place that craves freedom and peace. I've visited there many times." 

In a chaotic place like Zaun, only Morgana could romanticize it with words like freedom. 

——

"Let me take you on a tour of Orario. I could use a break these days," Morgana suggested. 

Before Sol could process what was happening, the two goddesses had already made plans to go out together. 

It seemed they were genuinely familiar with each other. 

Sol failed to notice the curiosity in Janna's eyes; he was too focused on Morgana's unusually friendly behavior. 

Surely Morgana wasn't trying to poach Janna—she was a god, after all. Gods couldn't join another god's Familia. 

Even if Morgana wanted to form an alliance, wasn't it too early? Janna was new to this realm and had no Familia members of her own yet. 

To be fair, Janna and Morgana would probably get along better than Janna and Kyle. 

Kyle's Familia had strict rules and regulations, while Morgana's management was far more relaxed. 

Janna, like Morgana, valued her followers' freedom. She would quietly fade away if people ceased to revere her and wait patiently until her name was called again. 

When that moment came, Janna would use whatever power remained within her to help her followers, without hesitation. 

——

"Do you need some financial support?" Sol offered. 

"Hah! Don't underestimate me," Morgana replied with a triumphant smile. "I made quite a profit off Apollo." 

"So you're not worried about repaying the debts of your Familia's estate? Or about wasting money?" 

"Don't worry—I didn't just earn a little from the Apollo Familia." 

"What do you mean? Are you planning to gamble again?" 

"Of course not! But if someone's offering free money, I won't miss the chance. I've invested everything in myself." 

"Fair enough. Have fun," Sol said, choosing not to press further. 

It seemed Morgana had made a significant profit from her recent war games. 

Otherwise, she wouldn't have dismissed the debts so casually.
