Slúthr laughed dryly twice. "Lady Loki, you might have forgotten, I am a clone summoned by Levi Bright."
"A clone is a clone, the main body is the main body." Loki argued with a bit of pestering logic, "You can totally have the main body stay in Hestia Familia, and the clone station itself in Loki Familia~"
Seeing the Spirit girl before her remain silent, she continued to tempt her. "Our Familia's benefits are very good. Backbone members can each get a Second-Class weapon, and if you need to awaken Magic, you can also use my divine connection here to buy Skill Books. Moreover..."
"But this clone of mine, calculated by actual combat power, has reached Lv.8 in its normal state." Slúthr gently interrupted, "As for weapons and Magic... Does Lady Loki think 'Artemis's Arrow' is not strong enough, or is the destructive power of the Magic I used when fighting Ottar insufficient?"
Upon hearing this, Loki, who was originally vowing solemnly, immediately slumped her shoulders.
She sighed, her words full of resentment. "How is that Shrimp Hestia's luck so good? She met a super rare character like you right after descending to the Lower World. Also, after you came to Orario back then, why didn't you try joining my Familia? Clearly, in terms of the help I can provide, I far exceed the Shrimp."
Hearing this, Slúthr's expression turned serious. "This is probably destiny."
On the other side, inside the Hestia Familia.
Levi, seeing the scene before him through the clone, couldn't help but let out a sneer.
'Goddess Loki really has some wishful thinking.'
His current relationship with the Loki Familia, to put it bluntly, was actually that of employee and employer.
The Loki Familia needed Levi's Spirit clone as a volunteer to provide buffs such as the Holy Grail Domain, elemental shields, and acceleration of Ability Stats improvement.
Levi, on the other hand, was using the Loki Familia to accelerate the growth speed of his Development Ability 'Luck' and 'Genshin'.
Incidentally, he also earned an extra sum of Valis on top of that.
It could be said to be a win-win situation for everyone.
But Loki intended to save the 300 million Valis expense paid to him, and even wanted him to work for the other side for free.
How could this not make Levi laugh?
'However... Should I say that [Hero Creation] is indeed worthy of being a 7-Star skill? It can actually allow adventurers to break through their Ability Stats limits through training.'
According to the intelligence provided by the Loki Familia, Finn, Riveria, Gareth, Ais, Bete, and others, after two consecutive days of arduous training, their main and sub-Ability Stats, which had long since stagnated, almost all showed growth.
Not much; S-Rank only increased by a few points to a dozen points, A-Rank by twenty or thirty points, and those below B-Rank could reach close to fifty.
Just in terms of group support effects, it was unknown how much more powerful it was than 'Liaris Freese' from the Lv.4 DanMachi card pool.
It was just a pity that, if Levi's prediction was not wrong, the improvement effect of this skill on potential exceeding S-Rank—that is, after 999 Ability Stats points—would be very poor.
Coupled with the fact that when the Possession state was activated, he could not receive the skill buffs himself, after confirming the specific effects of 'Hero Creation', Levi turned his attention to those worm-like monsters he saw during the day.
'...I see. Calculating the time, it seems it has indeed reached the node where the main storyline begins.'
'It's just a pity that the story of the "DanMachi" main series seems to have been completely messed up by me.'
'As for the spin-off "Sword Oratoria", after some time, I could go to the 59th Floor to take a look. The combat power of the Corrupted Spirit, according to its performance in the anime, is definitely Lv.7, which happens to be suitable for Cassandra, Lyra, and the others to accumulate Feats.'
There were only so many high-level monster resources in the Labyrinth. Unless Levi was willing to forcibly summon the white blood cell 'Juggernaut' by destroying the floors.
Otherwise, for monsters of Lv.6 and above, in the short term, it really was a case of one less for every one killed.
But in this way, some resources would have to be snatched.
Speaking of which, what the Loki Familia encountered on the 59th Floor seemed to be only a clone created by the Corrupted Spirit after possessing a monster with a Jewel Fetus.
'If I could cultivate a similar boss catalyst...'
For the next three days, Levi did not take a single step out of the stronghold.
Every day he was either programming Magic or strengthening the defense of the Territory.
On the contrary, in Orario, the festive atmosphere became increasingly intense.
Hearing from Hephaestus, the Monsterphilia jointly hosted by the Guild and the Ganesha Familia was about to begin.
In the original story, the protagonist Bell was still a Lv.1 rookie at this time. Because he was glanced at by Freya in the crowd, he embarked on the path of a god-made hero from then on.
Not only did a monster escape incident occur during the Monsterphilia (DanMachi main line), but secretly, the Evils also brought monsters born from the Corrupted Spirit to the surface (Sword Oratoria main line).
Which subsequently triggered various disturbances.
But nowadays...
Looking at the invitation letter personally delivered to him by Shakti, the Captain of the Ganesha Familia, Levi cast his gaze toward the lover at his side. "Are you interested in attending tomorrow's Monsterphilia?"
Hestia thought for a moment after hearing this, then nodded her head. "Sure. I've been reading at home all this time, so I really should go out for a walk. I might as well invite Hephaestus, Astrea, and the others along. Consider it an Olympia Goddess team building."
Artemis, who was desperately rushing towards Orario with her Familia: "???"
Aphrodite, far away in the Magic Kingdom: "???"
Athena, residing in Tenkai: "???"
Hestia, after being kicked out by Hephaestus and meeting Levi, had served as the poster girl for an old bookstore for a period. However, since the Familia had expanded a lot now, coupled with the mandatory mission she accepted earlier to go out, she quit her job and set up a library herself within the stronghold.
When she had nothing to do, she would browse through various legends, stories, and cultural materials she had acquired there, or chat for a long time with Hephaestus, who had already treated the Hestia Familia stronghold as her own home.
Seeing that the Blue Ribbon had plans to go out, Levi did not dissuade her. "Alright then, I'll give Alise and the others two days off as well."
A few minutes after his voice fell, his Spirit clone had already led the girls to appear on the teleportation magic circle located in the corner of the hall.
"...And that's how it is. Tomorrow is Monsterphilia, so I'm giving you two days of paid leave. Whether you want to stay in the stronghold to rest or experience the festive atmosphere is up to you. But don't forget to bring the pendants for 'Cognitive Obstruction' and 'Danger Teleportation' when you go out."
Suddenly having a few extra days of rest time, not to mention the girls of the Astrea Familia, even Daphne and Cassandra couldn't help but clap their hands happily.
On the contrary, Liliruca froze for a moment upon hearing this, and after everyone disbanded, she found Levi again.
"Lili wants to continue becoming stronger."
