Chapter 157 – Freya’s declaration

The massive column of light piercing the heavens meant, at this moment, no one was concerned about the situation between Aston and Freya anymore.

The appearance of this light column indicated that a deity was being sent back to the heavens.

It was unclear which deity it was.

Finn was the first to react, looking towards Aston.

"Aston, are you alright?"

Hearing Finn's words, the gods and members of the divine Familias also snapped back to reality, turning their gazes towards Aston.

Everyone wanted to know who was being sent back to the heavens.

Among them, Freya's reaction was the most intense, her charming eyes bursting with an incredibly fervent glow.

Although her archenemy was Ishtar, logically she should hope Ishtar was the one being sent back, but she now hoped more that it was Hestia.

If Hestia was sent back to the heavens, then Aston would be an adventurer without a deity, significantly increasing her chances of winning Aston over.

"Hm? What did you say?" Aston, caught off guard by Finn's sudden question, frowned and asked back.

"Uh, I mean, has your blessing been sealed?" Finn explained, his eye twitching.

If a deity is sent back to the heavens, the blessings of the deity's Familia would be sealed.

From Aston's reaction, it seemed that Hestia was not the deity being sent back.

"Ah, my blessing has been sealed." The one who answered Finn wasn't Aston but Haruhime, who was standing next to Aston, raising her hand earnestly at this moment.

"You are?" Finn asked, puzzled.

"I'm from the Ishtar Familia. Just now, I felt my blessing being sealed."

"The deity sent back by the Divine Recall must be Ishtar-sama," Haruhime answered softly.

With this revelation, all the gods present understood the situation, while Finn and others twitched at the corners of their eyes.

Previously, Aston mentioned that this fox lady was a new member of the Hestia Familia, so this was what he meant.

By annihilating the Ishtar Familia and then incorporating its members into their own, indeed, that makes her a new member.

However, Hestia is known in the heavens as a virgin goddess, and she should be intolerant of adventurers like the battle prostitutes.

But this fox lady has been acknowledged by Aston.

It seems there must be some story, and moreover, this fox lady is likely an important character.

Finn silently noted the situation with Haruhime in his heart.

"What a pity," came Freya's voice at this moment, her words dripping with regret.

She didn't seem to hide her intentions at all.

"Damn you, Freya, looking for a fight?" As soon as Freya's words fell, an angry voice came from afar.

Everyone's gaze was drawn to the source.

Then, they saw Hestia, being carried princess-style by a maid-dressed member of the Hestia Familia, along with a few other members, rapidly making their way towards them on the rooftop.

In less than ten seconds, Hestia appeared on the city wall, fiercely confronting Freya with a protective stance.

Seeing this scene, the gods' eyes lit up once again.

"What day is it today, with so many dramas to watch!" The excitement in the eyes of the gods was almost leaping out, all of them extremely jubilant.

First, there was a battle between the Hestia Familia and the Ishtar Familia, then Freya Familia made a direct invitation to Aston, the leader of the Hestia Familia, and now Hestia was confronting Freya.

In just a few hours, they were treated to three big dramas; today was truly blissful.

As for why Hestia could return so quickly,

Naturally, it was because of Aston.

When Freya made her invitation to Aston, Aston quickly became alert and, through their telepathic link, contacted Virgo to bring Hestia over as quickly as possible, ready to deal with Freya's charm ability at any moment.

At the critical moment when Hestia was forcing Ishtar to ascend to heaven, she couldn't come over immediately.

After sending Ishtar back to heaven, Hestia had Virgo bring her over without any delay.

"Hestia, don't look at me like that."

"I admit, I like Aston and want to claim him as my own."

"From now on, I will use countless methods to take Aston away from you, so be careful." Looking at Hestia who was hostile towards her, Freya showed no reaction, still wearing her seductive smile, and declared to Hestia with a smile.

As soon as these words were said, there was an uproar on the city wall, filled with the excited cheers of the gods, followed by various discussions and whispers.

However, no matter which it was, the excitement of the gods could be heard.

Freya's statement meant that they would not be bored in the future.

Freya will use various means against the Hestia Familia to fight for Aston's allegiance.

They have good drama to look forward to now, as long as they keep an eye on the movements of the two families, they won't be bored.

"Damn you, Freya, you really said it in front of me."

"If that's the case, let's go to war, a War Game." Hearing Freya's words, Hestia became even angrier.

Originally, after learning from Aston that Freya had set her sights on him, Hestia was already very angry.

And now, Freya actually declared openly that she would fight with her for Aston, Hestia could not tolerate it.

She was very aware of the power of the magic sword in Aston's hands, even if the Freya Familia was the first major Familia in Orario, she was not afraid at all.

If it wasn't for not wanting to cause too much chaos, Hestia would want Aston to release that magic sword now and blast Freya into the sky.

"A War Game, huh?"

"I don't want to do that."

"Even if I got Aston by doing so, Aston's heart wouldn't belong to me."

"Just watch, Hestia, I will think of a way to make both Aston's body and heart belong to me, and then we'll see if you can guard against it."

"Let's go, Ottar." Facing Hestia's direct challenge for a War Game, Freya just shook her head, refused the suggestion, and said with a smile.

After speaking, Freya called Ottar and left the place with him.

Leaving Hestia grinding her teeth in hatred.

"Aston, I absolutely won't allow you to meet with that guy Freya!"

Aston: "?"
