'Tomorrow night the Hōgyoku cooldown ends. I can max out [Limit Break] first, and then...'
Levi clicked open the character panel and card pool panel, standing still.
Actually, at this stage, as long as he develops and operates steadily for another year or so, he can almost one hundred percent succeed in Ascending to Godhood.
At the very least, he can achieve the status of a Demi-god, thereby obtaining an incredibly long, perhaps even eternal life.
It just depends on how exactly he plans to proceed, or which evolutionary route he takes.
'Reconstruct Falna System...'
Levi's gaze paused for a moment on the newly generated Main Quest 2, and then the corners of his mouth curled up.
'Should I call it a coincidence? I originally had this plan.'
The benefit of the DanMachi world's Falna system is that it is a fragmented version of "Heaven rewards the diligent" and "eternal mastery once proven."
Hard work makes you stronger, and the upper limit is linked to personal talent.
As for the side effects, they are equally obvious; one needs to rely on the Gods and borrow their power to complete the transformation in strength.
Every increase in Falna Level requires accumulating enough Feats.
Because Levi possesses the Krypton Gold System, originally he only had to find Hestia when he needed to level up.
Now, after obtaining the "Hōgyoku," even this step is completely omitted.
That being said, he is actually not very reassured about the Falna system developed by the Gods. (Side note: The protagonist doesn't know, but in the novels and games, Gods have the ability to turn adventurers back into ordinary people by locking their Falna.)
It's the same old saying: when one is weak, there is no choice, so one definitely does whatever is convenient.
But once one possesses sufficient strength, many things need to be carefully thought out, or even adapted.
Of course, this isn't to say Levi doesn't trust Hestia.
It's just that anyone with a normal worldview would not choose to entrust their life and fortune to others.
The youth with short pale-gold hair was naturally no exception.
Regarding this matter, he had spoken clearly with Hestia before.
Upon hearing this, The Blue Ribbon didn't get angry; instead, she looked full of interest and stated that if her lover could really create a new system with better effects, she could completely stand on the platform for him, and even take over the karma with the Gods, publicly claiming it was her own improvement.
A God improving the Falna system versus an adventurer improving the Falna system—for Orario, the Lower World, and even the entire DanMachi world—naturally held completely different meanings.
That being said, wanting to create a new Falna in one breath...
For the current Levi, it was not easy.
He must look down at the entire system from a perspective comparable to a God, or at least a Demi-god.
And to achieve this goal, the Third Magic, or Materialization of the Soul, is a topic that cannot be bypassed no matter what.
Starting from his true intentions, Levi actually wanted to disregard everything and properly go into seclusion inside the station for a few days.
But he had previously promised Hestia and Hephaestus that he would rescue all members of the Demeter Familia.
Now that the bait has been thrown out, naturally, it cannot be rashly retracted.
'Dionysus Familia, I hope your movements can be a bit faster. Otherwise, I won't be able to resist flipping the table.'
Dionysus's reaction was actually not slow.
When Hilde appeared at the main gate of the Demeter Familia station in a disguised human body and expressed her desire to join the Familia, Filvis informed her patron god of the news through her main body.
The latter heard this and took a sip of the wine he brewed himself, not thinking much of it at all—mainly because the Demeter Familia, as a production-type faction, recruited members externally all year round. It wasn't strange for someone to join at any time.
"Lord Dionysus, how should we deal with that new member of the Demeter Familia named Hilde Chloe?"
Filvis stood by the side and asked softly.
The elegant male god with shoulder-length blonde hair chuckled lightly: "No matter what, Demeter and I count as members of this small group, Olympia. I still have to give her some face. How about this? Wait until she takes the new member to complete the Guild registration tomorrow and returns. Then you take action personally and control that girl named 'Hilde' with the Wine of Madness."
"Yes!"
The black-haired 'Banshee' bowed in salute. Having long been tortured into madness by her identity as a 'Creature,' she didn't feel there was anything wrong with such an act at all.
Even further, Filvis intended to take action with her main body personally, while her clone continued to watch over Goddess Demeter.
Time flowed leisurely.
Night passed, and daylight arrived.
Worried about the children in her Familia, Demeter hadn't slept well during this period. She woke up just after five in the morning and planned to prepare breakfast for the newly joined child.
However, after walking into the kitchen, the orange-haired Goddess unexpectedly saw Hilde's figure.
The pink-haired girl seemed to have been there for a while. On the stove, white steam rose, mixed with the sweet scent of fresh wheat ground into flour, and the alluring factors emitted by grease.
Hilde continued her act. After hearing the movement at the main gate, she turned her head, wearing a cheerful smile on her face.
"Lord Demeter, good morning, hehe~ I thought that since I joined the Familia, I should contribute to the Familia. Moreover, the seniors are all on vacation, and now only the Goddess is left in the station. Going to the pub to eat every day isn't a solution either, so I decided to cook all three meals starting today."
While speaking, she revealed a timid expression: "Um, if Lord Demeter feels I am acting on my own initiative, then, then scold me! I promise I won't dare do it next time!"
A trace of sunlight spilled through the window, shining on Hilde's back, as if draping her in a layer of fine golden gauze.
Looking at the pink-haired girl not far away, even knowing that the other party was in disguise, a slight smile couldn't help but appear on Demeter's face.
She stepped forward and gently hugged Hilde. The largeness of her chest almost buried the girl's entire head—okay, it was already buried inside.
"You are willing to cook for me, so how could I possibly blame you?"
"Wuwuwuwu~ Wuwuwuwu~ (Lord Demeter, please let go of me!)"
"Oh my~ We are both girls, why are you still shy?" Demeter said with a beaming smile.
If she didn't know that the 'Banshee' was right beside them, Hilde would have rolled her eyes long ago.
Even so, after breaking free from Demeter's embrace, she took a step back, protecting her chest with both hands, looking as if she had been bullied by a pervert.
"Lord Demeter, Yuri is infinite bliss, but it can't bear fruit!"
Who would have thought that Demeter was also a master of memes.
"Can't bear fruit, isn't that even better?"
"!!!" x2
At this moment, let alone Hilde, even the invisible Filvis couldn't help but shift two steps to the side.
Although she was crazy, she was far from reaching the level where she didn't care about gender or taboo.
