Chapter Thrity-Five

"So, Freya Familia has been doing basically nothing these past few years, no expeditions, no deep dives into the dungeon..."

I hummed, sitting in my "Office" chair because Taxes apparently needed a separate room to do, from what Hestia said. Though, I had a feeling that wasn't the real reason behind it.

"Basically, yeah."

My clone nodded, leaning against the wall with his arms crossed. Looking down at my status paper, I sighed, looks like my exploits in my past life were catching up to me.

Enemy Of Devine, No description, no explanation, but I could feel it, I could feel the effects on my mana. I could feel the other gods, Pinpoint them in the whole of Orario, I could feel the Excellia, flowing through my body, contained by the shell that was my soul, the power slowly trickling into my body and strengthening it.

Seems like the passive ability strengthened the Divine power granted to me by Hestia, making it my own, and boosting my power, I knew it had some sort of condition, but I still had to figure that one out.

Could be some set area and if gods were there, it would boost my power accordingly, or could be the adventurers, who had the essence of their gods on their backs.

I did not know that yet.

The amount of monsters I killed myself, along with the monsters my shadow that was in the dungeon was killing is forcing me to get status updates slower and slower.

I had a reputation to develop, and doing it intentionally was a pain in the ass, which is why I took every chance I got.

Fighting that cat, those four Pallums, that Boaz, going to the deeper floors with the Loki Familia, getting a partnership with them.

Sighing, I activated Blaze, burning the paper and lacing my fingers in thought.

"What did you manage to get about the Zeus and Hera Familia?"

The clone reached into his pouch and pulled out a book, which he probably duplicated from the guild, and tossed it to me.

"It was in the restricted section, you wouldn't imagine the amount of dust the original had on."

Catching the book, I nodded my thanks and opened it, looking over the first few pages. It wasn't a history book, these were records of the two families that worked together, so the first few pages were irrelevant information.

A knock sounded from the other side of the door and my clone sunk into the shadow, like he was never there and I closed the book, putting it on my couch.

"Come in."

The door opened and an excited Ava rushed in, holding a piece of paper and on the verge of vibrating in excitement.

"Captain! Captain! Look!"

She handed me the paper and I took it, my lips quirking into a smile even before looking down at it.

"What's got you so excited, Ava?"

I hummed, looking down at the status sheet and blinking. Honestly, when I artificially created that skill, I didn't think it would be so... Efficient, almost as good as my Black Hole.

•Strength: G-202.

•Endurance: E-409.

•Dexterity: E-404.

•Agility: D-628.

•Magic: B-701.

I grinned, not as good as the black hole, however, it the probably the best result anyone had gotten in such a short time adventuring.

"Ah, I see you have already given your status to the captain, Ava..."

Shohei walked in, holding his own status paper, seeming amused. Ava blushed, releasing a small chuckle and looking to the side, avoiding eye contact.

Aw, wasn't that adorable? She was embarrassed.

Shohei was the next to hand me his own paper, and I looked at it, smiling in satisfaction. They were progressing at phenomenal speed...

_

Shohei

•Dexterity: C-679.

•Agility: B-789.

•Magic: I-98

Finally, Chi, or Mana, Ki, whatever, they were the same thing, just used differently on a fundamental level, Shohei would be ready to level up soon... But first.

I looked up at the two of them and smiled.

"Good job you two, you know what that means, right?"

Their smiles faded and faces paled. Man, I was enjoying this too much...

"We can celebrate by going to the moon festival."

They blinked, then blinked again, and finally sighed in relief. I would train them tomorrow, since they were stronger, they could take more.

But for now, they needed to be rewarded for their hard work, and I didn't mind spending money.

We had a shit ton of that anyway, even while paying the dept for the dagger.
