"...Yes, my lord, I found a damaged room on the 5th floor. It seems like a Juggernaut had spawned there and it was also defeated." The figure, known as Fels, said in a respectful tone.
"As for the person that caused this, there were adventurers that saw someone in a set of darkish brown armour with a golden dragon symbol on the chest and he was carrying two scythes. The reason I believe that this person might be the cause behind this is because the guards stated that they didn't see anyone with that armour enter the dungeon... or anyone with a bag big enough to carry such armour and weapons inside of the dungeon..." Fels stopped for a second to gather his thoughts.
"I believe there's a high chance that this person has spatial magic... or at least a magic item to store items," Fels stated.
Ouranos nodded his head and said
"...I see, most adventurers wouldn't keep this ability a secret... that means there's a chance that this person has something to do with Evilus... and add to the fact that I wasn't able to sense them..."
"Fels, gather more information on this person or anything that seems to be related to them. If by chance this adventurer has no connection to Evilus then bring them to me, else you should kill them." Ouranos ordered
"As you wish..." Fels vanished from his spot.
'If... by chance you are not a part of Evilus... then I hope you will help us with the Xenos. With spatial magic we would be able to bring them more resources...' Ouranos lightly frowned.
'Although the chances of that happening are low... Someone that is able to hide from me and also has the strength to not only damage the dungeon but also kill a Juggernaut...' The old god thought and focused back on the dungeon.
'It seems that the Evilus might be making their move...'

"Hephaestus!" Someone yelled and barged inside an office.
The office has a large desk near the centre and a large window behind it. The walls were decorated with a few paintings. Next to the desk is a sword that is carefully placed on a frame.
At the desk sat a woman with red hair and a crimson eye while her right eye was covered by an eye patch.
"How many times should I tell you to stop barging into my office, Tsubaki" Hephaestus, the goddess of smithing, said annoyed.
Tsubaki has brown skin, long black hair, and red eyes. She also has an eyepatch but it's covering her left eye instead. She was carefully caring a normal-looking double-edged sword in her hand.
"No time for that! Look at this!" She said hastily and carefully placed this sword on the table.
Hephaestus sighed and looked down at the sword for a few seconds and with each passing second, her eyes grew wider in disbelief.
This seemingly normal sword looks like a work of art to the smithing goddess.
She carefully picked up the sword to inspect it more thoroughly and the flaming heart-like symbol on the guard caught her eye.
'I have never seen this mark before...' She wondered
"The purity of the metal this blacksmith used is insane... and the smithing technique must be amazing as well. I can't see any imperfections on this sword at all!" Hephaestus couldn't help but smile but it froze for a second.
"How much did this cost?" She asked suspiciously.
It's not like her Familia is poor, in fact, it's exactly the opposite! The Hephaestus Familia is popular amongst adventurers, but for a sword of this caliber, she still had to make sure about the price.
"Well..." Tsubaki's lips started twitching
"The shop owner is selling multiple different weapons of the same quality for around... 10 to 10k va-" She was interrupted by Hephaestus yelling
"THAT CHEAP!?!" She was in utter disbelief and she felt a small flame starting to ignite in her heart.
"What's this blacksmith's name?" She asked
"He said his name is Cyrus and the familia he belongs to is unknown. I even asked the guild and they said that he wished to keep his familia a secret." Tsubaki shrugged
"His workshop is called Pandora's box. After you are done here you should come with me to visit his workshop. There are two swords there, a broadsword and a rapier, of bet- no much better quality than that sword. I personally think that it might even rival your best work so far." She said seriously.
"We have to get him in our familia at all costs," Tsubaki said causing the flame in Hephaestus' heart to burn even brighter.
Her passion for smithing started burning again as a grin slowly started appearing on her face.
"I will definitely visit 'Pandora's box'" Hephaestus' eyes glowing in determination, she fully believes Tsubaki's words... and for a mortal to have the ability to make two swords that rivals her's, the goddess of smithing.
"Don't forget to finish all your work first though!" Her grin froze at Tsubaki's words and stared at the stacks of papers on her desk.

Babel, The tallest tower that was created on top of the dungeon to keep the monster inside. This place is also the home of the Freya Familia, who lives at the top of the tower. Freya, the goddess of beauty and also the most beautiful woman in the world according to most people... most...
She has long silver hair and purple eyes. She always wears a black and red... dress? type thing that exposes most of her stomach and breasts with two flower-like ornaments in her hair.
She is currently standing on her balcony staring over Orario from above, but it seems like she is looking for something.
'Did he leave Orario while I wasn't looking?' She thought desperately.
She tried to use a part of her divinity and a mirror to peak at his location but it keeps failing.
'Did he die?' She thought a bit depressed
"Ottar" She called out
A heavily muscular man came out and walked closer to Freya.
"Yes, my goddess?"
"I am quite sad currently so can you help cheer me up~?" Freya asked in a seductive yet sad tone while she caressed Otar's chest.
"As you wish, Goddess" Ottar complied and carried her to the bedroom...
