A familiar pang of hunger surged through him.
Levi nodded slightly to Hestia, then activated 'Stella Resonance' once more.
The Pristine Bell Constellation, which had been resting within the Cryo Vision, seemed to be drawn by a fatal attraction. As the boy closed his eyes, it instantly shifted from virtual to tangible, manifesting on his back in the real world.
Since this wasn't the first time, the twin-tailed goddess didn't need to use her divine aura to observe.
Even so, she could faintly perceive fragments of the original owner's life.
"An Adeptus... an undying zombie..."
"A long-lived species transformed from a human?"
Hestia murmured, her eyes gradually lighting up.
A goddess's longing is eternal.
Especially for a virgin goddess like the Blue Ribbon, who had been single for tens of millions of years.
After becoming lovers with Levi, her heart was essentially tethered to him.
The reason her affection level displayed on the 'Goddesses' Love Blessing' hadn't reached the absolute maximum was actually quite simple.
She was a long-lived species, while Levi had yet to conquer death.
Even though Hestia was 120% confident that the boy beside her, with the [Unknown] in his soul, would inevitably be able to accompany her for eternity.
But as long as that day hadn't truly arrived, accidents could always happen unexpectedly.
But now...
Hestia suppressed the excitement in her heart and sat quietly to the side, waiting.
Although the original owner of the Pristine Bell Constellation, Qiqi, was a zombie who had lived for thousands of years, she had spent the vast majority of that time sealed within amber. Her actual life experience wasn't much longer than Diona's.
Less than four hours later, Levi, having experienced her life in a dream, opened his eyes again.
Hestia's voice, tinged with a hint of excitement, rang in his ears.
"How does it feel?"
Recalling the new knowledge in his mind, Levi smiled and nodded.
"Very good."
As he spoke, he raised his right hand, index and middle fingers pressed together. He drew a symbol in the air that had never appeared in the world of Danmachi before.
From his lips came a soft command: "Order."
The next second, a ball of orange-red flame appeared out of thin air, only to vanish under Levi's control.
"This is?" Hestia showed a surprised expression.
Levi smiled and replied, "A new skill I learned after completing the Constellation Resonance this time—'Adeptus Order'."
[Adeptus Order · 5-Star (Proficiency 78%+): Obtains Developmental Ability 'Mystery H'. Through hand-drawn talismans and spirit words (Kotodama), allows a certain degree of interference with things in the surrounding environment.][Note: Developmental Abilities obtained through skills take the highest level recorded for the same name.]
As the Fortune Preserver, Qiqi naturally knew how to use talismans.

It was just that most of the time, due to her poor memory, she tended to forget.
But this knowledge, replicated into Levi's brain through Constellation Resonance, brought him considerable benefits.
For one, he could now be seen as having broken free, to a certain extent, from the limitation that adventurers in the Danmachi Falna system could only learn three magic spells.
With the help of Adeptus Order, he could easily summon fire, storms, water currents, or lightning.
It was just that due to proficiency, the power wasn't great for now.
Or rather, it required setting up the field in advance.
"That skill is quite nice." Hestia nodded. "What else?"
"A sword technique called 'Ancient Yunlai Swordsmanship'." Levi quickly scanned his status panel. "And a 'Pharmacy' skill."
[Ancient Yunlai Swordsmanship · 3-Star (Expert 26%+): Obtains Developmental Ability 'Swordsman H'. Mastered the basic moves and advanced killing techniques of the Ancient Yunlai Swordsmanship.][Pharmacy · 3-Star (Proficient 7%+): Obtains Developmental Ability 'Mixing I'. Mastered common herbs and basic potion recipes.]
The information related to the Pristine Bell Constellation was similar to what was on the Vision, except the elemental cost changed to Mana, and the C1 bonus mana recovery now had a cap of 20 points.
In a sense, Pristine Bell lived up to being a 5-Star Constellation. Resonating with it, just the 'Adeptus Order' skill alone was worth the entire ticket price.
However, after listening to her dependent's description of his harvest, Hestia's reaction wasn't as happy as he imagined.
Levi was stunned for a moment, then without hesitation, he asked directly, "Hestia, aren't you happy?"
"Happy? Of course I'm happy that you can become stronger, but..." The twin-tailed goddess bit her lip. After hesitating for two seconds, she finally voiced her hidden thoughts. "Maybe I'm being a bit greedy. I originally thought that by resonating with Pristine Bell, you would gain a longer lifespan."
Levi wasn't stupid; he naturally understood what his patron deity was expecting.
He immediately raised his hand and pulled the lovely girl beside him into his embrace. "Hestia, don't be impatient. We still have plenty of time."
The twin-tailed goddess actually understood this logic. Her dependent had received the Falna less than a month ago, yet he had already reached Level 3 and would soon step into Level 4.
Combined with that [Unknown Entity], as long as they waited long enough, he would inevitably gain abilities related to long-lived species in the future.
However, saying it is one thing...
At this moment, Levi suddenly leaned forward and kissed Hestia on the lips, his hands on her waist gradually becoming restless.
The twin-tailed goddess, sensing his movements, froze for a moment, then cast a helpless glance at him.
I was thinking about something quite serious, yet this brat... Mmph...
Ten minutes later.
Levi pulled back slightly, panting heavily. Hestia, held in his arms, was a bit lightheaded from lack of oxygen.
The young man with pale-gold short hair wore a mischievous grin. "Hestia, do you still have anything bothering you now?"
Regaining some clarity, the goddess glared fiercely at the bad guy in front of her.
"Since you don't want me to worry, then I won't care anymore."
"However..."
As she spoke, Hestia suddenly raised her hand and pushed Levi onto the bed, straddling him in one swift motion.
With an ambiguous smile on her face, she leaned down and whispered softly in the boy's ear, "You are not allowed to sleep today~"
To summarize a thousand words into one sentence: Hestia, having been thoroughly teased by her dependent, was now horny.
Of course, Levi wasn't much better off. "Don't worry, I'll make you cry and call me Big Brother."
"Hmph, you lecherous brat~" The twin-tailed goddess raised an eyebrow, issuing an invitation. "War?"
Levi responded with action. "War!"
The next instant, the color of spring began to fill the bedroom...
