Chapter 156 : Injured

Why are Champions loved by the Gods?

They are strong, there's no doubt about that.

They are beloved by the world, also without a doubt.

They can create miracles, something impossible for many; again, there's no doubt.

But despite all this, the Gods wouldn't look at the Champions as if they were idols. No, the Gods focused more on the benefits than the achievements and bravery of a Champion.

That's why when it was known that a Champion would arrive in Orario, all the Gods went into a frenzy. This was excellent news for their race.

The ability to create offspring...

However, when they learned the gender of the Champion, the male Gods lost interest. Even though the Champion is a living legend, a male Champion doesn't bring many benefits. In fact, the problems that would come from getting involved with the Champion outweighed any benefits.

But this was only for the male Gods because for the Goddesses, it was the opposite.

The fact that the Champion was male only increased the chaos among them.

This was their opportunity to create offspring, so they couldn't miss it.

That's why they flocked every day to the door of the Hestia Family, looking for Hestia with the hope of sharing the cake.

Like any woman, they wanted to be mothers, to create descendants of their own blood.

And the Champion is the only one with whom they could create offspring, so the chaos in Orario was the work of the Goddesses, while the male Gods closed their eyes because they didn't want to receive hatred if they got involved.

And Loki knew this very well.

And although Yuki was still very young, this wouldn't stop the Goddesses, no...

They would be patient, waiting for the right moment before sinking their claws into the boy, even if it meant waiting for a few years.

Even now, Loki doubted Hestia because she was a female God, so Loki could only see Hestia raising her future husband.

"I understand... Now I understand more about all this chaos."

With a pale face, Riveria didn't want to imagine the fierce struggle that lies ahead among the Goddesses.

A race that can't have children can be very dangerous when the hope of procreation is within their reach.

"Loki, do you also want a child then?"

Asking with doubts, Tione looked at her Goddess. She sympathized with her race; she was an Amazon, naturally sought for the best genes to procreate. But the Gods, even if they found the best genes, still couldn't procreate. This was very sad, and with Loki inviting Yuki to her family, Tione thought that Loki also wanted a child.

"Who knows? ..."

Bringing a finger to her lips, Loki responded vaguely, as even she didn't know what to think. In the past, she longed for a child from her beloved, but now...

"But don't worry, there are many opportunities in the future. The Champion won't leave Orario anytime soon."

"Oh? And why is that? Is there any reason?"

Joining the conversation between women, only now Finn and Gareth regained their presence. With Hestia and Yuki out of the scene, Finn didn't hesitate to ask.

"Well, that's because the Champion is injured."

"Eh?"

Loki could see it; Yuki was incomplete. Although the world's aura helped mask his injuries, Loki had seen this before, so she wasn't fooled.

Loki didn't know what battle the Champion had gone through that left him badly injured. After all, his power was less than 10% of the real capacity of a Champion.

So Loki could only see Yuki coming to this world to take a break and recover from his injuries.

However, this news was a hard blow to her family, as even an injured person is capable of hitting them.

"Injured? Then... His power."

Opening her eyes in surprise, Ais's lips trembled.

"His power? I think I've said it before, a Champion saved a world from destruction. Consequently, the Champion must have the power to destroy the world."

"!!"

Raising both hands, Loki looked with amusement at Ais, who now had her mouth wide open. Not only her but the rest of the group as well.

Each of them had different expressions on their faces, but Loki didn't blame them for this; it was natural after all. If you want to protect something, you must have the strength to do so.

Unlike Heroes, whose power levels are unstable and don't even become strong, Champions surpass the Gods.

So it was a legend that all Champions had the power to destroy the world.

(Well, almost all...)

Recalling the only Champion who earned his title as a mere common human, Loki sighed because unlike the rest, that Champion was the most powerful of all. By gaining his title, his power exploded, reaching the scale of being able to destroy universes.

Although it cost him his first life, that Champion was the leader and guide of all Champions. But unfortunately, even someone like him fell.

But this was something that her family didn't know, as they still couldn't believe it.

A Champion was greater than they imagined.

"Well, enough talking... It's time to go back."

Feeling the tense atmosphere among her family, Loki didn't want to stay any longer in this place.

Although her stomach growled because they couldn't order, Loki thought she needed to talk to her family. With the Champion in Orario, things would heat up in the future.

"Good idea, let's go back."

Nodding, Finn agreed with Loki. With each new piece of information that Loki revealed, Finn had a headache.

So signaling Chloe for the bill, Finn didn't want to see his family's depressed faces anymore.

"Here's the bill, Nya."

Although Chloe wanted to keep listening, she was, after all, a waitress, so she did her job properly. She could find out more later.

Passing the bill to Loki, who received it with a smile, Chloe turned around, thinking about the Shota's cute face.

"What?! 2 million valis?!"

With a scream that echoed throughout the bar, Loki stood up, her hand trembling, and her eyes losing their light; this was more than she had in her pocket.

However, soon her eyes lit up when she saw a certain unconscious werewolf.

"Bete still has to pay for his actions... Mia, this goes on Bete's tab."

"Okay."

Regaining her smile, Loki didn't wait any longer and left the bar. Meanwhile, Finn and Gareth only looked at Bete with pity, as their Goddess made him pay this debt.
