Safe?

Everyone sighed in relief when they heard Loki's words.

They felt the heavy burden on their hearts had been lifted, and they had nothing to worry about now. After all, it would be terrible if the gods or goddesses decided to do something to Tsukasa.

Still, Tsukasa believed that even if he was punished, no one could do anything to him since he was in the lower realm. He knew it might sound quite arrogant, but he believed that no one could defeat him now.

He might only be a Level 6 adventurer, but even a Level 7 adventurer wasn't his opponent.

As for a Level 8, he had never fought one, so he didn't know well.

Yet this wasn't what he wanted to say.

"Is it so easy?"

Tsukasa was wondering whether he really wasn't punished after he had sent Ishtar back to heaven.

Everyone had always worshipped the gods and the goddesses, yet he dared to send them, so he wondered whether everything could be settled so easily.

"You should be glad that you're handsome and powerful. Also, the evidence that you gave me before was so useful. Everyone knew that Ishtar was the sponsor of the Evilus."

When Loki mentioned the evidence, her expression became subtle. The evidence given by Tsukasa was extremely useful, but the content wasn't something children could hear.

While the evidence was only a voice, everyone could feel the ecstasy in Ishtar's voice when she was pleased by Tsukasa, and because of that, the meeting was almost chaotic.

Those gods and goddesses were roaring to Loki, whether there was a video, so they could confirm whether this voice was Ishtar and Tsukasa.

Yet Loki could only say there was no video, only the voice recording. While there was a video, she didn't want to take it out and wanted to keep it for herself. After all, if it was shown, she wasn't sure what those gods and goddesses were planning to do. They were already crazy enough by the voice, and if the video was added, everything would be out of control.

Still, Loki didn't say all of that since she knew his video was something that shouldn't be shown.

Yet...

Loki must admit that the video was interesting.

"Loki?" Tsukasa could see that Loki's expression was quite rich, but he didn't want to see such an expression on her face, considering he knew how bad the personality of this goddess was.

"You don't need to worry. Even if many gods ask to punish you, many goddesses are also fighting for you. Many of the other gods also support you," Loki said calmly.

"Huh? Why?"

Not only Tsukasa but everyone was also confused.

While it might be something to be happy about, they felt weird about the decision of the meeting between gods and goddesses.

After all, shouldn't they punish Tsukasa or something?

"......" Tsukasa stared at the rest of the members of the Loki Familia with dead eyes.

Still, many wanted to punish Tsukasa because Ishtar was the owner of the place where many gods could have fun. After all, she owned the biggest brothel in the world, and many gods were her patrons.

Lastly, while Ishtar was under Freya, she was still beautiful, and many of them were drunk by her beauty.

Tsukasa nodded and felt this reason was normal.

Yet the reason why he wasn't punished was quite strange since all the goddesses hated Ishtar to death, and they were more than happy when Ishtar was sent back to heaven. They also loved him well and hearing the happy voice of Ishtar from the voice recording, and his teasing words also gave them a good impression of him.

"Huh? What kind of voice recording?" Riveria was confused.

"Cough! Cough!" Tsukasa interrupted Riveria and asked, "Is that all, Loki?"

"Well, I guess they are also curious how strong you will become in the future."

What is the number one problem of gods and goddesses?

Bored.

It was the number one enemy of gods and goddesses.

Tsukasa had brought them fun they had never seen for so long, and he made them want to see his progress.

"They want to see how long you will reach a Level 9 or more." Loki looked at Tsukasa and said, "After all, you're the one with the highest potential to become a god."

"......."

Everyone was in a daze.

The blessing from the gods and goddesses was, without a doubt, something powerful since it could make anyone strong.

Yet many people had different potential, and many of them had limited potential.

However, if one had enormous potential, it wouldn't be impossible for them to become a god.

For thousands of years, the highest level one had reached only Level 8.

That was the limit, and no one had reached Level 9.

Even Ottar from the Freya Familia, known as the strongest adventurer, was only Level 7.

On the other hand, Tsukasa had reached Level 6 in the past three months, and it was something unprecedented that made everyone look forward to it. He also wasn't a lunatic, and everyone knew he had a grudge against the Evilus, considering how he had lost his arm and was kidnapped by the Ishtar, so they wouldn't be surprised even if he wanted to send Ishtar back to heaven.

Hearing all of that, everyone could only lose words, but they knew it should be possible for him to reach Level 9.

"Now that you mentioned it, I haven't updated your status in a while. Do you want me to update it?" Loki suddenly asked.

After the last attack on the Knossos, Tsukasa hadn't asked Loki to update his status. While he could update to become a Level 7 after his expedition to the 59th Floor, he waited until many of his statuses reached an SSS rank.

After the expedition, Tsukasa also faced many difficulties and fights from the Knossos, a new fallen spirit, the group of powerful Amazoness, and even Ishtar.

His feat was already beyond ordinary.

It wouldn't be strange for him to update to become a Level 7.

"Okay."

Tsukasa agreed and wondered whether he could become a Level 7.

With that said, the two went to the room since his bare naked body was dangerous, so they had always updated his status in the room.

When they were alone, Loki couldn't help but ask, "Say, can I ask you something?"

"What?"

Loki appreciated his naked body for a moment, touching it for a while until she was satisfied.

"...What?" Tsukasa asked again, but he didn't stop Loki, wondering what this woman wanted to ask.

"Nothing, but I just want to ask whether you have slept with Freya. That's all."

"......."

Tsukasa was silent since he started to regret asking his previous "what" somehow.

"......................."
