91 the void nigh

I had clearly felt her hand sneak in my belt' pouch, retrieving the golden egg. I know that any level 1 adventurer couldn't be that clumsy, so it means that it was intended. Choosing to follow her, it came rapidly clear that she wasn't escaping at her full speed. Seeing that she give the lightest glance possible back to see if I follow, and taking the dark alleys, I know it was a pre-planned ambush.

Playing along, I follow her for five goods minutes until we were alone it those darks paths. After a 90° turn, I could see her standing in front of three other adventurers, shakily giving the egg to them.

It was clear that she fears them, and seeing by the harsh slap that knocks her against the wall, on the side, it was clear that she was coerced into, this. I only need to see the raccoon man to know who they were.

Like Lily, they were members of the Soma Familia. Taking two throwing knives, they embedded themselves, in the two other goons head without a sound, As they were crumbling in the ground, I appear before the raccoon, slamming my fist in his gut, leaving slip unconscious on the ground. Transmuting the two body in elements, I store any of their possession, taking back my egg before lightly picking of Lily's body, dragging the other one with my tail.

The time I return to the shop, Hestia had already closed it. Rapidly going through, I enter our house.

"Alex! Who is she?" Hestia at first happy to see him, froze in the air as Alex put the little girl on the couch.

"A poor little girl forced to steal from others by a member of the Soma Familia."

Her face darkens at this.

"What about the other?"

"I will take him to their Familia if they are unwilling to pay up, then I will crush them."

She fidgets at this, uncomfortable at the thought that he would go against an entire Familia himself.

"Be careful, alright? Better, let me update your status!"

"Mmm."

He takes off his shirt before laying down flat on the couch, his back clear for Hestia. Straddling him, she pricks her finger, letting a drop of blood fall on his back. The Familia crest appears while she starts to adjust the number. She let a little gasp at the reading. Taking a decision, she drops a second blood tear on the still active Flana.

Feeling the second drop, he know that he had attains the limit of the first level, she wouldn't rank him up without his consent if not for a lack of further development. Done, she takes out one of the brown sheets of paper from the stack disseminate around the house.

Climbing down off his back, she gives it to him while looking him softly at him.

He could feel the boost settle in his body while he made his way to the door, pick the still unconscious man like a sack of potatoes.

#########################################

Exiting on a hidden door build in the wall not far from the house, he again enters the city. Once far enough and hidden by the shadows I slap him awake.

"What... Where you!"

Before any rebellious idea could germ in his mind, I crush both his ankle, ripping out a bloodcurdling scream from him as he transforms in a sobbing mess.

"Pitful, now, don't make me waste any more time, and lead me to your god."

It did take four other broken bones for him to start to give direction between the sob, swear, and curse. After delving into one of the most dilapidated parts of the city, I stop in front of a relatively maintain little manor.

Taking a good hold, I throw him through the wooden door.

########################################

The members of the Soma Familia needed a few seconds to process one of their members crashing the door with the shadow of someone outside. Their captain immediately takes out his blade while rushing outside.

" Whose mongrel..." His shouting coming to halt as a thin, short knife came embedded in his head. witnessing the death of their captain, the few bolds that had followed came to halt, frozen at the sight. If some wanted to retreat, they didn't have time as knives fly to every single one of them.

"I was going to spare you all as I only came to ask for compensation of your disgusting behavior, but I see that one can't heal the tumor by only cutting it out, you must crush the root to stop it spread again."

All were frozen at the eery glowing emerald eyes before they could understand, shining blades were drawn out before the shadows vanish. When the first bodies start to fall on the ground in muffled sound, their brain starts to kick out again, but it was too late. The twenty-seven members present in the room were all cut down without having the time to even emit a scream.

Two minutes later, Alex was making his way in the manor, not a trace of the previous massacre present on the scene. Looking at each room, he loots anything of value, transmuting the rest, leaving nothing behind.

Arriving at the last door, he could smell the processing of alcohol being made by the very same god he had come to seek. When he enters, he faces the back of an average man with shagging and somewhat matted dark black hair in a white coat.

Thinking that it must be one of his children, Soma didn't even look out for his work in front of him.

Sighing at the sight, he put his hand on the shoulder of the man, dragging him with him in his territory.

Before Soma could even understand what happened, two glowing green eyes fix his own, a second later, those same eyes harden.

"If you have given all hope to feel the excitement of being a mere being made of flesh, you should have returned to heaven, but toying and letting your children suffer for your incompetence his a sin!"

He was about to speak before he feels the cold blade pierce his hearth. A large pillar of golden light starts to form before being completely obliterated, leaving only a floating golden orb.

"You are in my realm, no one exit without my contentment. For the sin you have committed, I have a much better use for you."

Closing his eyes, Alex runs through the enchantment that was once present on the resurrection stone, twerking them a little, he soon obtains what he was aiming for. Taking the material obtained by the dead corpse of Soma, he crafted palm-size golden orb with swirling blood core. This blood was the very ichor obtain by the god mortal body.

{[Hidden Objective: Side. "The end of God era."

For the last thousand years, the gods have ascended to the lower world and take the race leaving below as their plaything. It time to put an end to the slavery humanity is subject to.

Condition: Seal at least 100 gods and erect a new pantheon for adventure to receive blessing without the meddling of the past gods and seal correctly the dungeon to protect the outside world of monsters.

As soon as he was done, a teary Sunny appears.

"Master his back!"

"Hello Sunny, how was the past three weeks, does something happen?"

"No master, miss fleur, her and miss tonks have been cleaning the different manors, miss Hermione and miss Susan are organizing the books founds, and miss Tonk's mother, the potions ingredients. Miss Luna has been playing with he beasts around the territory."

"Good, I have a job for all the elves but first I need to know if you can join me. I will return to the world and call for you."

"Yes, master."

Returning to the Danmachi world, he calls for the elf, feeling him leaving the territory and appears to his side. When he didn't feel him trigger the wards around the city he sighs in relief.

"Ok, here what I want all the elves to do. this city is an infested nest of crime, slavery, and despotic gods. I want you and the elves to roam the block know as Dedalus street, deal with all the adventurers with shady deals, clean their hiding spot and bring their gods to me, it time they pay for their crimes. You must be extremely careful, a lot of powerful people reside here, you must not be seen less catches. Only strike weak Familia, all those that give you a greater feeling that me, you don't touch the Familia, I will deal with them when ready."

The elf nod gravely before popping back. Less than a minute later, he could feel more than sixty elves exit the territory. Going back, it didn't take long before adventurers came, knocked out. Taking his time to revue all their memories, and having a criminal past without show signs of redemption was killed on spot. When their god or goddess came, they would be submitted to the same fate.

In the following hours, none of the 2000 plus Adventurers were spared, and soon another 53 orbs join Soma. With every break in between the appearing bodies, he would twerk a little the enchantment in, erasing completely the conscious of the gods in the orbs, leaving only their predominant value in order to found future adventurers.

As the territory pocket space was aligned on the outside world, he recalls all the elves as dawn came. Looking at the mountains of raw material standing on his side, Alex was disgusted at the inactions of the other gods in Orario. He had killed more than 5000 adventures the very night, most were Level 1 with a good 400 of them being level 2.

For those adventurers, 67 gods of differents pantheon have been slain and seal, their conscious erase. Of those 67 he had already get rid of 42 of them, judging their authorities a problem, being such as concept over slavery, mind control, and the like, be they direct or indirect, like Soma alcohol creating a dependence.

As for the spoil of war, he had gained a staggering amount of any type, among them was a lone female blonde renarde. She was frightened when she vanished from her cell to this new place without knowing what happens.

Alex had a need to calm her down, the fact that she was free of her chains and out of her cell had greatly helped. He had evidently immediately recognized her, as she was the only renarde he had to know for the LN, Sanjouno Haruhime.

He learns from her that she was meant to be shipped off to Hishtar the following night. HAppy that she would be safe and out of her clutch, he sends Her to the other girls.

He would have liked to pass a little time with them all as he was missing them, but Hestia would soon start to worry so he returns to the Danmachi world, making his way back to the house, founding Hestia in his bed, smiling at the drooling goddess sporting a silly grin in her sleep as she mumbles some gibberish, he changes his clothes and slip in the bed, immediately warm in her embrace, his head droved in her chest.

When the morning came, Orario was still unaware than it had lost a good part of it level 1 population as well as a great deal of black market dealer that would leave several other Familia short or even out of business.

Only a few hours after sweeping a great party of Orario dark side, Alex rise, going done to the kitchen, and start to prepare the breakfast, waking the two other with the odor coming from the kitchen.
