Chapter 23 - Chapter 23 The Astonished Gods! Chen Hai's 'Blessing'!

All the Gods of Orario gathered, and counting the captains and several members each brought, the number easily exceeded a hundred.

After an perfunctory encounter with Loki, Chen Hai looked around the venue.

All the main gods who had appeared in the story were present at this meeting.

Besides Freya, Loki, and Hestia, Hephaestus, Ishtar, Hermes, Soma, Takemikazuchi, and Apollo were all there.

Some patron gods of Familia who Chen Hai was unfamiliar with, and who even had little mention in the original work, were also staring at Chen Hai.

Some were puzzled;

Some were curious;

Some were uneasy;

Some were excited.

Because this meeting would determine the future development of Orario!

It might even directly change the fate of humanity!

Being able to participate in such a high-level gathering, the main gods who came down to the lower world for fun were naturally very happy.

However, after Chen Hai arrived, the scene quieted down.

No one dared to speak.

No one dared to speak casually in front of the 'Dungeon Lord who eliminated Uranus'.

Once forcibly sent back to heaven, or even killed, they would have to wait ten thousand years.

By then, there would be no fun left!

Under this premise, the main gods cherished their lives.

It's just that in the past, there would be crazy gods going to the Dungeon, specifically to fight the 'god's assassin'.

But such suicidal fellows are basically gone now.

After all, losing one's life, even if one can be resurrected, still comes at a high cost.

Seeing everyone silent, Loki, who had just been perfunctorily dealt with, clapped her hands.

"I believe everyone has received the notice sent by the Adventurers' Guild, which mentions the identity of Little Brother Chen Hai. I don't believe that's a lie, and Uranus's disappearance proves this point."

"Are you trying to say that this gentleman... is truly the 'Dungeon Lord', and that he killed Uranus?"

The first main god to ask was Hephaestus.

Wearing an eye patch, she looked stern, showing no sign of the relaxed demeanor expected at a gathering.

"If someone truly committed deicide in Orario, we cannot turn a blind eye."

Ganesha also stepped forward, his eyes behind his mask fixed on Chen Hai.

It was normal for the main gods to have this concern.

Since he could kill Uranus, Chen Hai would likely have no pressure in harming other gods.

At this moment, someone stepped forward.

His name was Dionysus.

With an elegant posture, he walked out of the crowd and approached Chen Hai alone.

"Since Lord Chen Hai wishes to cooperate, it's impossible that he would have acted against Uranus first, because that would be illogical, wouldn't it? If he harbored ill will towards Orario, why wouldn't he lead monsters to attack the surface? After all, with Uranus's suppression gone. So, I would like to hear Lord Chen Hai's explanation, so that we can address this rationally."

After Dionysus finished speaking, he smiled slightly at Chen Hai and slowly retreated.

Chen Hai watched the main god retreat into the crowd, recalling this fellow's setting.

On the surface, he was a gentle and kind god, but in reality, he was 'Urban Destroyer Enio', secretly plotting to destroy Orario.

In his eyes, Orario was an 'amusement park that was fun to destroy'.

Clearly, this idea differed from Chen Hai's.

He still needed the Adventurers here to work for him, so how could he let him run wild?

It was necessary to eliminate him.

Tonight.

Having made this decision, Chen Hai heard more inquiries from the main gods.

"How will you explain?"

"Uranus has done so much for this city, suppressing the labyrinth for a thousand years. His achievements are indelible."

"Killing Uranus, that crime will ultimately need someone to bear the responsibility."

Many of the main gods respected Uranus.

Chen Hai took a step back, moving to the steps of the hall.

"Uranus certainly did a lot to protect humanity and maintain Orario's stability, but when I made a better proposal, he didn't accept it."

"If your identity is truly 'Dungeon Lord', how can we trust you?"

Just like the Demon Lord suddenly surrendering to the Hero in a story, no one could accept it for a while.

Unless it was a story like "Maoyu ~ Archenemy & Hero."

Understanding this, Chen Hai used a 'whip'.

"There are 'three great Adventurer quests' in this world: Behemoth, Leviathan, and the Black Dragon. Now only the Black Dragon remains. Can any of you defeat it?"

At these words, the scene fell silent again.

"Should I call it over?"

"No, no, no."

Loki, at this moment when everyone was silent, quickly shook her head in denial.

The Black Dragon... a legendary monster.

It single-handedly destroyed the 'Zeus Familia' and 'Hera Familia', which allowed Freya and Loki to seize the opportunity and drive them out of Orario.

If the Black Dragon were to descend upon this city, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Even the Level 9 Empress couldn't defeat that monster, let alone the current group of people.

"If I were your enemy, Orario would have been engulfed in flames yesterday; of course, you have the freedom to choose, because I don't mind becoming your opponent, just as Uranus was dissatisfied with me and chose to attack."

What were the consequences?

Chen Hai's words already had a conclusion.

Orario's only 'Great God', Uranus, was 'sent back' to heaven.

"Indeed... The facts are already clear. I don't think it's necessary to argue about this topic. Mr. Chen Hai is not our enemy."

Demeter stepped forward at this moment.

As the patron god of Orario's production-based Familia, she had no visible combat power, but in reality, she had a great impact on the city.

As Adventurers explored the Dungeon, logistics were key.

And the Familia led by Demeter was responsible for producing various foods and providing specially cultivated herbs to relevant guilds.

In this regard, Demeter's status was even on par with the Familia led by Freya and Loki.

Her words carried weight.

"I've also seen that notice. What exactly do you want to do in Orario? Turn all Adventurers into your subordinates? That's too autocratic."

The one asking this was Dian Casket.

The captain beside him was a young, gentle, white-haired woman, Amide Veliyustein.

Amide pulled her main god and walked up to Chen Hai.

"Please don't misunderstand, Mr. Chen Hai, Dian Casket just wants to know how you will treat the Adventurers."

"As the notice mentioned, Adventurers of different levels will go to different floors, with Adventurers on the upper and middle floors operating on a three-shift system."

Chen Hai faced the main gods and added a sentence:

"Starting tomorrow, the Dungeon will be unsealed, and your Adventurers can all go to the Guild to update their cards; after that, you will receive profits from my Dungeon, and I will also guarantee your safety."

"Guarantee safety?!"

At these words, the entire hall erupted in an uproar.

The main gods now realized how explosive Chen Hai's statement was.

Because in this way, the 'Dungeon' would become an inexhaustible treasure trove for them, a path to becoming stronger!

And for the Adventurers, all of this was the Dungeon Lord's blessing!
