Joking is one thing, but of course, it might not just be a joke.
After reporting his plans for the day, Levi took out paper and a pen from his inventory, dipped the pen in ink, and began writing Runes.
Similar to Hephaestus, Hestia, also a goddess, sensed something the moment the person beside her wrote the first symbol. She sat up, her face now carrying a hint of seriousness and concentration.
"Levi, what is this?"
"Runes. A script from another world that can be used to invoke magic and miracles. I just grasped it this morning" Levi explained while continuing his work.
"Although I focused mainly on how to use Runes to resist Charm, I came up with some interesting combinations while arranging them. For example..."
As he spoke, he had already written seven symbols in sequence on the first sheet of paper. After inputting mana to activate it, a one-way soundproofing barrier formed, its range perfectly covering the bedroom they were in.
Sounds within the barrier could be transmitted to each other but could not be perceived by anyone outside. Conversely, sounds from outside the barrier could easily be heard by those within it.
"Now, we can speak normally."
Because Alise and Gojouno Kaguya were staying in the room right next door, the two had been deliberately keeping their voices down. Of course, the same was true for those on the other side of the wall.
Hestia naturally had 120% trust in her lover. She nodded upon hearing his words, a puzzled expression on her face. "So, why are you setting up a barrier in the bedroom?"
Levi remained silent, but his gaze grew darker.
"!!!"
Seeing the boy's expression, the twin-tailed goddess, who was no longer naive, immediately understood his true intentions.
"Are you crazy?! Alise and Gojouno are right next door!"
"With the barrier, they won't hear anything."
Levi had spent the better part of half a month in the Dungeon and had been intensely teased by Hephaestus today; how could he possibly have no desires? He had originally thought he had no choice, as he wasn't yet thick-skinned enough to put on a live show for others. But now that he had mastered the almost omnipotent Runes...
As he spoke, he had already lifted his goddess entirely, pressing most of her body against the wall.
Hestia's cheeks flushed red, and she slapped her familia member's body haphazardly. "Don't, don't do this. At least, not against this wall."
On the other side of that wall were Alise and Gojouno Kaguya, sleeping.
Levi gave an amorous smile. "But you're already getting 'ex'cited yourself."
"Sh-shut up!"
...
After a night of fierce battle, his long-accumulated stress was completely released. As a result, the next day, Levi's spirit, which had been tensed up from being targeted by Freya, finally relaxed a little.
The price was Hestia lying like a corpse in bed for a day. Not only did Levi have to bring her meals to her bedside, but the promise to update Alise's and Gojouno Kaguya's statuses was also postponed by another day.
In the twin-tailed goddess's increasingly bold words—if this kept up, she would be 'fucked' back to Tenkai sooner or later, and if possible, Levi should hurry up and bring a few more goddesses back to take turns.
Being given official permission to build a harem should have been a very happy occasion. But Levi, well, it would be a lie to say he wasn't happy. Yet he didn't devote too much thought to the matter.
After helping Hestia finish her breakfast, he took out the high-grade wine from the Demeter Familia and the fire-liquor from the Dionysus Familia that he had bought on his way back yesterday. Then, sitting on a chair in the bedroom, he began trying to concoct a higher-grade Ice-Fire Wine.
The process was not entirely smooth.
Compared to the wheat beer produced by the Soma Familia, both the Demeter Familia's high-grade wine and the Dionysus Familia's fire-liquor were undoubtedly of much higher quality. This could be understood just by looking at their prices.
However, when Levi entered the special bartending state enhanced by 'Mystery', the upper limit of conceptual terms the two fine wines could provide was only 14 and 16 points, respectively.
The Ice-Fire Wine made from the former merely increased the capacity for fire elements in the liquor. Not only did the final star rating of the finished product not increase, but due to the imbalance between the ice and fire elements, the final body-tempering effect was greatly reduced.
The latter, however, by consuming 5 points of the conceptual term limit for 'Ice Element Capacity Increase - Blue' and 'Fire Element Capacity Increase - Blue', did indeed raise the Ice-Fire Wine to 5-star. But if not consumed along with a panacea that could heal all injuries short of severed limbs, even an adventurer with a Level 5 Falna would most likely have a brush with death.
It was only because Levi, relying on his 'Bartending of Pure Water's Blessing', could selectively immunize himself against all 'water'-related abnormal statuses that he dared to try a small sip. Even so, he had a panacea in hand at the time, ready to pop it into his mouth.
The effects of the incomplete 5-star Ice-Fire Wine were truly potent.
Having drunk only 10ml of the liquor, Levi truly experienced what Alise and Gojouno Kaguya had felt the night before. For a full half-hour, sweat never stopped pouring from every part of his body.
Of course, as a price for enduring the torture of the ice-fire reaction, his five basic abilities, which had gradually stopped growing, finally saw an explosive increase.
Strength, Endurance, Dexterity, and Agility increased directly by 22 points. His Magic was even more exaggerated; since it wasn't affected by the 'Mana Core' bonus, it shot up by 178 points in one go.
By the seventh day on the surface, with the War Game set to begin the day after tomorrow.
As the effects of the incomplete 5-star Ice-Fire Wine gradually wore off, Levi's four stats, excluding Magic, had all reached SSS 1572. His Magic, needless to say, was at SSS 1999—maxed out!
'I'll just use stat exchange tickets to max out the rest.'
With this thought in mind, Levi opened the Genshin Gacha pool. He first spent 60,000 Valis (Lv1 pool) to pull a 3-star Vision, then successively spent 1.4 million (Lv2 pool), 13 million (Lv3 pool), and 70 million (Lv4 pool) Valis.
Following the path of the Electro attribute's 4-star Trulla Cementarii Constellation (Keqing) → 5-star Divina Vulpes Constellation (Yae Miko) → 6-star Imperatrix Umbrosa Constellation (Raiden Shogun), he successfully changed the newly acquired 'Day Vision' into:
[Vision (Imperatrix Umbrosa, C1) · 6-Star]
[Vision (Imperatrix Umbrosa, C1) · 6-Star (Bound)]
[Indestructible]
[Electro Element: 1000/1000]
[Actively convert one's own mana or passively convert ambient mana into stored Electro Element]
[Consume Electro Element to convert normal attacks into Electro attacks]
[Consume Electro Element to slowly raise ability values]
[Equipped Magic:]
[Skill: Transcendence: Baleful Omen · 6-Star (-): Consume 200 Electro Element to deal AoE Electro damage to surrounding enemies, and grant oneself the 'Eye of Baleful Omen' state. While the 'Eye of Baleful Omen' state is active, the following effects apply: 1. Each time an attack is launched, the 'Eye of Baleful Omen' will execute a coordinated AoE Electro attack; 2. All magic power is increased, with the increase proportional to the mana / elemental energy consumed.]
[Burst: Secret Art: Musou Shinsetsu · 7-Star (-): When using magic other than Secret Art: Musou Shinsetsu, gain stacks of Chakra Desiderata based on the amount of mana consumed, up to a maximum of 60 stacks; Consume a minimum of 500 and a maximum of 1000 Electro Element and all stacks of Chakra Desiderata to draw the divine weapon 'Musou Isshin' from the Vision, simultaneously unleashing a high-power, wide-range Electro slash. The damage and range are modified by the number of Chakra Desiderata stacks and mana consumed.]
[Constellation 1 Bonus: When using Electro magic, the accumulation speed of Chakra Desiderata is vastly increased. When using non-Electro magic, the accumulation speed of Chakra Desiderata is greatly increased.]
[Musou Isshin · 6-Star]
[Indestructible]
[Mana recovery greatly increased; after using magic, mana recovery is greatly increased.]
[Electro Enchantment, immune to all non-omnipotence level abnormal statuses related to the Electro element.]
[Weapon Attack Power receives a very large bonus based on the wielder's mana recovery efficiency.]
[When Musou Isshin's attacks hit a target, restore 1% of the wielder's maximum mana.]
Within the Vision, a 4-star constellation corresponds to a normal Vision holder, 5-star to a Demon God's subordinate, and at 6-star, it becomes Demon God-level combat power.
Originally, Levi had planned to choose the constellation of the Geo Archon, Zhongli. This Rex Lapis, who has lived in the mortal world for over 6000 years, has mastered a considerable number of skills.
If he could achieve resonance with his constellation later, he would definitely get a huge boost, making himself sufficiently versatile.
However, now that he had learned 'Primordial Rune (Fragment)', his plan could be slightly altered to a secondary target: the ruling Raiden Shogun of the Inazuma region in the world of Genshin.
Although she was a goddess who was 'clueless at governing a great nation as if it were cooking a small fish'.
She herself was a tech otaku. Not only were her martial arts skills not much worse than Zhongli's, but she had also mastered puppet creation and elemental energy programming techniques. She was perfectly suited for expanding his own skill library.
Of course, the 6-star weapon that came with the 'Imperatrix Umbrosa Constellation' was another reason for his choice.
