Chapter 200: All-or-nothing!
Dionysus.
As they came from the area of heaven, Hestia was familiar with this deity, and she could tell how crazy this deity was.
If she made a comparison, Dionysus was like Loki, and like Loki, it seemed he cared about his children much.
Yet... why did the death of his children have something to do with her?
What did Hestia do?
She was just lying around, in her usual nonchalant manner, either rolling around on the bed like a lazy bug or engrossed in a book!
Simultaneously, Hestia pondered over the intentions of this deity. In the face of Dionysus' accusations, she took a moment to compose her thoughts before saying, "Dionysus, let me tell you something.
"...Yes?" Dionysus looked at Hestia strangely, as it seemed her answer was different from what he had imagined.
"Your Familia is weak, so it is better for you not to get involved in our matter," Hestia said calmly.
"...." Everyone. Upstodatee from
Whether it was Hephaestus, Demeter, Loki, Freya, or the others, they looked at Hestia in a stunned manner as they didn't expect such cruel words to come out of Hestia's lips.
However, soon, the others burst into laughter.
"Hahahaha...."
"Hestia is right, Dionysus!"
"Your Familia is weak."
That was the reality.
Like how no one previously believed that Hestia would win against Apollo.
The weak had always been trampled, and the strong had always ruled the weak.
In the world of deities, in heaven, everything was very raw.
The only ones who followed the rules were the weak.
For the strong, no rules could bind them!
Moreover, there were many deities who didn't have a good impression of Dionysus, so they quickly jumped and mocked this clown. Like Loki, who had many enemies, Dionysus was the same, especially due to how handsome he was and how... well... let's talk about that later.
Meanwhile, Dionysus stared at Hestia in disbelief as he didn't expect those words to come out of Hestia's mouth.
Yet, Hestia didn't care about Dionysus's reaction since everything was his fault for trying to blame her for the trouble that she didn't do. Many were jealous of her Familia, especially with how much money they had due to Isao's business. Moreover, there was also Isao.
While Isao was strong, he was still a Level 2 adventurer.
In the eyes of others, he was strong, but it wasn't impossible to defeat him.
If Isao wasn't so ruthless and kind to him, then Hestia could imagine that many would come rushing forward to devour them.
Many had their eyes filled with greed with Hestia's words.
"However, if you lose, I will take your everything, whether it is your Familia, wealth, or your right to stay in the lower world!"
"....."
The words cooled down everyone's heads, and they quickly looked away from Hestia, shaking their heads.
This was an all-or-nothing battle.
If they lost, they would gain everything, but if they won, then they would win everything.
Losing everything they had built was hard, but it didn't matter for them as the deities could live forever, but losing the right to live in the lower world?
This was critical for them, so unless they were confident, they wouldn't do it.
"Dionysus, what do you think? Your Familia is against my Familia. If you win, you will get everything," Hestia then looked at Dionysus, who had made all the trouble for him with a provocation gaze.
"No, I am sorry. I never thought to provoke you that way."
Dionysus decided to back down, causing Hestia to snort, thinking that Isao was correct.
Those who were weak and didn't dare to fight would be bullied, but if they appeared strong, then no one would dare to do anything.
It might not have been her character to do this, but to erase all future problems, it was better to be tough and work hard in the beginning so no troubles would come toward them.
"But can I ask why did you hide about the man-eating flower monsters?"
"JUST ASK THE DAMN GUILD, BASTARD!"
Hestia didn't have a good impression of Dionysus and scolded him directly. After all, if someone was troubled by the man-eating flower monster announced in the newspaper as the guild, the governor of the Orario directly threw the problem to the guild as she was too lazy to face the enemies of the guild.
"As expected, it is a guild, huh?" Dionysus' expression became livid; then, he bowed his head to Hestia. "Thank you for your help, Hestia."
"Hmph!" Hestia snorted and then wished to climb down from the table, but due to how short she was, it was quite hard to climb down the table. "Ah, Hephaestus, Demeter, help me again."
"....you shouldn't climb up to begin with, you know?"
"Yeah, what if you fell?"
"If I am as tall as you, then do I need to do this?"
Watching Hestia cry, Hephaestus and Demeter looked at her with a helpless smile, but they also thought that she had changed. Yet, like Hestia, if someone wished to harm Isao, then...
Their eyes stared at Dionysus, who had run away, walking in the distance with a silent stare.
Still, Loki stared at the three, including Freya, thinking that Isao's influence on Orario had reached a frightening level.
