The War
A War game was planned between Hestia Fraction and Freya Familia. Each God should be wearing a flower badge on their top. Whoever loses that flower will have to walk out of the field. The one who retains the flower until the very end will be the winner. Ganesha Familia decided not to join the war but to rescue people who were going to die in the War.
Artemis Familia, Ishtar Familia, and Kali Familia joined Hestia Fraction. The guild and Loki Familia were surprised to know about Hestia Familia's connections. Aleera has trade relations with Kali and Ishtar. Recently she got a chance to make another trade relationship with Artemis Familia as well. Bell used all these relations to get more manpower to their side. Argana Kalif and Bache Kalif were interested as they saw this as an opportunity to test their strength against the adventurers of Orario. Phryne Jamil had been waiting for an opportunity to take on Ottar as a part of revenge. Asfi was not allowed to fight but Julies ( Artemis Familia) borrowed some of her equipment to fight in the war game.

The War Game,
The War game has begun. Hermes set up the mirror across various locations of Orario. People are excited to see the fight. Everyone is one their respective positions. Hedin got all the strategy plans. The War game began. Freya Familia started attacking various posts in groups. Aiz was supposed to fight Bell. But unexpectedly she was stopped by Bete. Ottar was put on hold by Mia Grand, Phryne Jamil, Argana Kalif and Bache Kalif. The Gulliver brothers, Hogni, and their party were checked by Hedin, Ryu, Welf, Aisha, Lefiya, Filvis, and so on. Allen's group was going on a rampage. Then Ali's group sneak attacked and Hedin had Artemis Familia members to deal with them.
Freya already ordered her children to kill everyone on their path. She only wanted Bell. Anya acted as a hostage for Bell to lure in Allen. Allen did come to defeat Bell. Bell and Allen fought. Bell didn't hold back at all. Bell fights to kill Allen. Allen was not going down so easily. They fought for over 1 hour to determine Bell as the winner. Bell pinned him to a rock with his sword. Bell cut off Allen's right leg. That was his revenge for Jupiter. Bell spares Allen's life upon the request of his sister Anya. Hestia Fraction slowly losing the game. Bell stepped in to fight Ottar alongside Mia and others.
Hedin roasted Heith and her group with all his power. Ryu defeated Hogni all by herself after attaining a level boost from Haruhime. Aisha, Lefiya, Welf, Fivis, and others struggled against the Gulliver Brothers. But they never gave up and fought back bravely to defeat them. Aiz had a little bit of conversation with Bete. Bete tried everything to stop her. He managed to weaken her although he was defeated. She then joined Ottar to fight Bell. Bell and Aiz got to fight each other. Ottar single-handedly defeated Mia, the Kalif sisters, and Phryne. Aiz used Ariel to cut off Bell's Adamantium arm. She threatened him to surrender by pointing out the fact that the war had killed so many of the people because of him. To their surprise, Bell's arm regenerated.
All others were neutralized except for Hedin and Ryu. Hedin and Ryu joined Bell. Ryu with a level boost and speed boost from Hedin, Ryu fought Aiz. Hedin and Bell fought Ottar. They went all out on each other. Bell used Jocker's skills to fight back. Then, to everyone's surprise, Aleera made her entry into the war game. The entire Orario was stunned to recognize that person as Alfia. Alfia and Bell soloed Ottar and made a shit out of him. She demonstrated her true power by putting a nuclear blast on Ottar. To everyone's surprise, Ottar survived. He used beautification and gave both of them a hard time. Bell charged Argonaut concurrently and demonstrated his new skill Temporal Freeze, an ability to freeze time allowing only him to move. Alfia used her skill to copy Haruhime's skill to Level-boost Bell and cast a new spell Souls Heist ( absorbing the soul of the enemy) on Ottar to stop him.
Bell despite being worn out, used a limit break and crossed his sword with Ottar. In the battle of willpower, Bell's black sword cut through Ottar. Ottar was defeated. Ryu used Agaris Alvesynth on a Hestia Knife (Sword) to cut through Aiz's strong wing barrier and her sword to deliver an explosion upon cutting through her chestplate. Aiz got blasted away as she remembered that same person (Ryu) who defeated her 10 years ago. History repeated and Aiz was defeated by Ryu for the second time. Freya upon seeing all this got angry and decided to use her charm again to make others fight Bell. But she was too late.
From a long distance ( can't even see with the normal eye) Artemis used her divine power (not arcanum) on her bow ( created by Hephaestus) and arrow (spear). She aimed it at Freya and released it. That spear attains the speed of light and pierces through the defenses to reach Freya. It pierced through her heart, threw her back to her seat, and pinned her to the chair. She coughed blood into her dress. The ruins in the spear shined. Freya then realized that she was going to be summoned back to heaven. There is no way to escape, now. She sat back on her chair reflecting on her actions. Bell, who was not expecting that, came running in to check on Freya. Welf blasted away her children with a magic sword to create a way for Bell.
Bell reached Freya. She smiled upon seeing Bell. Freya reached her hand to Bell. Bell came closer and took her hands. Freya with a teary eye asked for his forgiveness. Bell with wet eyes and a smile forgave her. Freya then with a child-like innocent smile said "Thank you, Odr". Bell stepped a few steps back. Bell had a sad smile on his face. A pillar of light appeared from the sky and descended upon her. She was summoned back to Heaven. Bell stood there looking up at the sky through the hole in the ceiling.
Bell whispered to himself" Please look after me, from there, Syr-Chan."
