Chapter 19

From above you can see a God standing there silently while a Goddess trying to pounce on him only to be held back by another God.

"DAMN, IT ANSWERS ME EREBUS!!!"

"C-calm down Astraea! where the hell did the tolerant Goddess of justice go!"

"It's no my fault!! he won't look at me! he won't answer me! he won't even talk to me! Does he think he is better than us, I'm here to get answers not to be ignored I will see if he can keep this silence once I ruin his lower body!!"

"Eeek! no Astraea let's all calm down okay what would your Familia think of you if they heard what you did to him"

"….B-but he won't answer"

"Does it even matter at this point if he really doesn't want us to know, he will never speak about it, both I and you know how unsociable he was in heaven let's just end it we still have things to take care of"

"….Fine it's your win this time Erebus, but you lost the game"

Astraea took a deep breath to calm herself and then look at 'Erebus'

"..Demon Lord Erebus, I sentence you to die"

She proceeded to stab him and he exploded into a pillar of light that went to heaven with this it marked the end of The Great Feud.

"It's over"

"Yes but we still need to clean up afterwards, sigh I hope Asfi doesn't take it on me I- huh?"

"What is it, Hermes? why are you looking down-what?"

It was after the demon lord got sent to heaven that all the adventurers gathered in Central Park and started celebrating Everyone was there Loki Familia, Freya Familia, Ganesha Familia, and the Astraea Familia the start of the event were all there to witness and celebrate it but all of sudden a ball of light started shining on top of their heads and started expanding at a fast pace.

"!!What the-"

"What is that"

"Shit get ready it's an enemy attack"

"I don't have my weapon damn it"

Everyone was on the verge of breaking down after all they went through the enemy still had hidden weapons.

"Finn!? What is that?"

"…."

"Finn, do you have an Idea?"

"My thumb is not twitching…I'm not sure I don't even sense any danger from it"

"It doesn't matter we will continue to fight"

Finn, Gareth, Riveria, and Ottar took the lead to offset any danger from this weird thing as they are currently the highest level around but when they were about to attack it Finn's thumb twitched making his eyes widen but he still issued a command.

"Ottar, Riveria, Gareth stop, Everyone Don't attack it"

"What?"

"Finn I do trust your judgment but is it really fine to not attack it while we can before it becomes a disaster?"

Gareth issued his doubts or rather what's in everyone's doubts.

"The moment we were about to attack my thumb tingled and it was not that of danger, I have a feeling I will regret it if I attack it now it may be selfish of me but please let it continue"

"What?!"

Everyone was completely shocked at this absurd request if it was from someone else they may have killed him on the spot and labeled him as an Evilus member.

However, this was a request by 'Braver' himself, if it was from before they may resist but they all had seen and experienced his wits and perfect commands, even if they don't say it they all respected him so a request from him they will consider.

"It doesn't matter if we wait a bit longer, we already went through the worst didn't we and even the beautiful me is stronger than before so I will protect you tehee"

And as usual, the Astraea Captain turned any serious situation into a comedy of her own but thanks to her it did relieve a bit of pressure.

"Alright, we will trust you Braver"

"It won't hurt to wait a bit I suppose and it looks like this thing is to take some time to do its thing"

"I guess so, after all, we own Braver so we will listen to your command one more time"

Adventurers one by one started agreeing dispelling the pressure that was there.

"Thank you, everyone, but even if I say that we will take out measurements, empty Central Park and make a circle surrounding this thing, we never know what it will do."

As they started surrounding it from all directions everyone got ready if they got a command to attack they won't hesitate to do it.

The light Ball expanded to almost cover the whole of Central Park then started shining brightly almost blinding most of the adventurers there and disappeared as if it was not there at all.

"What?"

"Is that all?"

"Is this some sort of prank?"

"D-D-D-Doo"

"Huh? What's wrong Al?"

"D-Down LOOK DOWN THERE ARE PEOPLE!!!"

"What?!!"

The ball of light was floating on top the Central Park so everyone's attention was on it they didn't look down until someone pointed it out, but when they were completely shocked beyond words.

"That!!"

"No way!!"

"Please if it is a dream don't wake me up"

"Impossible T-They are the ones that fought with us but they should be buried why are they here? and They are moving!!"

Everyone there didn't know how to react even the high-level adventurers didn't know what the hell is going on, but amid all their confusion one girl started sprinting towards these people.

"! wait lion don't rush alone we are not sure if it is a trap or not"

Her friend's warning didn't even slow her down, all there was in her eyes was a girl that the moment she saw tears started spilling from her eyes, she made her way to her fast thanks to her level 4 status, and started checking the girl condition while calling her name.

"ARDEE! ARDEE!"

"….umm, hmm lion? why are you crying"

The girl started waking up as soon she was called and when she woke up she started looking around only to see her friend in front of her crying.

"ARDEE!!"

The girl named Lion overwhelmed by happiness hugged her with all of her might afraid of losing her again.

"hehe lion is hugging me, as much as I enjoy it please calm down lion I'm fine we still need to get back and fight Evilus"

"Ardee! Ardee!"

As if not hearing what she said lion just kept hugging her while calling her name.

"What is going on here"

"CAPTAIN!"

"!what is it, Raul?"

"I-i-it's Noir and Dine and Barra they are alive! alive!"

Finn turned his gaze toward where Raul was looking only to be met with a greater shock he almost thought he was dreaming if he didn't know better.

And it wasn't just them all everyone started finding the people that died in these past days and even the civilians found their relatives and loved ones.

That night was a mystery that no one could solve, even gods were shocked by this and even confirmed that it was not a God doing as there was no trace of Arcanum being used, but for mortals, it didn't matter that moment as it meant the reunited with their loved ones, everyone was tearing up and crying but this time it was tears of joy, not sadness.

At the same time in a village a bit further away from Orario in a certain house, you can see two old couples in the kitchen preparing food for dinner.

"So you felt it as well huh"

"Yes she died I no longer sense my blessing towards her"

"It's the same for Zald….Sigh"

"Sigh I really miss Bell"

"We both do, but you know that he needs time alone to build his character"

"I know I just hope he will be fine last time he visited, he was on the verge of exploding he didn't even tell us what was the reason"

"Hera the life of mortals is not the same as us gods, they don't have infinite time to figure out their problems slowly, even though it pains me as well I rather have Bell go through the pain and grow stronger with it rather than just shelter him all his life."

"…sigh, I know how are we going to tell him about their death I can't bear to see him sad ag-"

Before she could finish a light suddenly started shining they both thought it was an attack they readied themselves for the worst, but when it vanished it revealed 3 sleeping people one man, one god, and one girl and beside them was a letter.

"!!Alfia! Zald!!"

They of course recognize who the man and girl is and even the god but what puzzled them is where they came from they knew it was Bell but where is he?

"It's definitely Bell's doing, but where is he? he should be the one who is the most excited about saving them… and why is there a collar in Alfia and Zald's neck?"

"Stop asking Hera, there is a letter here let's read it"

'Hello Grandpa and Grandma, I know that you both have a lot of questions as to what just happened but I have to apologize, I will be busy in the future with the Familia Affair so it will take some time before I have time to visit you two, but there are couple points I have to mention the first thing is Aunty Alfia and Uncle Zald have been both treated and even if they showed a side effect of some sort it won't be life-threatening it won't even be as painful as their original disease so by the time I'm free to come again it won't be a problem to treat them again.

As for the second point, I'm sure you noticed the collar on their neck that thing surpasses their status and makes them almost as if they don't even have it, the reason for it is so they don't do anything stupid again and if you want to know what they did ask them yourself I don't want to talk about it the space in the paper is limited and tell them it's useless to try and take it off or destroy it as I'm the only one who has the key to it

The third point is, God Erebus you may know him for bad things but can please give him a chance he helped both Aunty and Uncle I at least want to repay him.

I don't have other things to say except that I miss you both and I hope you are taking care of each other, I will make sure to take of myself so don't worry about me much so take care and send my regards to those Idiots.'

"heh you just threw something wild at us didn't Bell"

"Well at least we don't have to worry about him as he looks fine"
