Chapter 375: Arriving at Apollo's Banquet!
....
Among them, Seito and Hestia were the ones who truly understood what kind of person Apollo was.
This guy didn't turn down anyone, regardless of gender, but he had a notorious taste for men and loved them a bit more! For a god like him to send an invitation card right after Seito's Familia had beaten his thugs half to death yesterday was highly unusual.
"I plan to go check it out," Seito said, tapping his chin as he thought for a moment.
No matter what tricks Apollo was trying to pull, he wanted to see it for himself. The banquet was scheduled for noon, so heading over at that time would be perfect. Neither Kirukiru Amou nor Maple argued with his decision.
Hearing Seito say this, Hestia smiled brightly. No matter what Apollo was planning, as long as Seito's group went, it would definitely be a good thing!
"Iori! Hidenori! Take eight other guys, make it a group of ten, and come with us!" Seito ordered Kitahara Iori and Hidenori Tabata.
Hearing his words, the two of them instantly burst out into wide grins! This was absolutely great! Entertainment was coming!
"Old Twenty-Eight! You're with us!"
"Sometsuki! You too!"
Kitahara Iori and Hidenori Tabata didn't waste a single second and immediately started picking out people. Seito then turned to Hestia and asked, "Do you want to join us for a bite?"
"Is... is that really okay?" Hestia's little face flushed red as she asked shyly. She hadn't found a job since descending to the lower world, so she was completely broke. Her meal yesterday had actually been provided by her close friend Hephaestus, the Goddess of Smithing.
Do not look down on that goddess. She was also one of the Twelve Olympians, representing fire and craftsmanship!
"Why wouldn't it be okay? Aren't we friends?" Seito offered a gentle smile.
Hearing his words, Hestia didn't stay polite. She sat right down next to Kirukiru Amou and began to eat. Ten minutes later, the group finished their breakfast and started handling their own tasks, while Seito and the other two deities chatted casually with Hestia.
Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, noon arrived.
Seito, the two girls, and Hestia set out with Kitahara Iori and the rest of the chosen guild members. Their destination was the exact location where the Apollo Familia was hosting the banquet! This time, the venue provided for the party was the very building used for the Denatus—the Divine Assembly! The location was directly supplied by the Adventurer's Guild.
As Seito and his group walked down the street, they naturally drew a massive wave of attention from everyone around.
"Look! It's the members of Seito's Familia! I heard they are all Level 10!"
"Level 10?! Even the Loki Familia isn't that overpowered! This is too ridiculous!"
"I'm not entirely sure, but I heard they are all travelers from another world."
"Is the talent of people from other dimensions really that insane?"
"By the way, are they heading to the banquet?"
"Looks like it!"
"..."
The pedestrians gossiped excitedly among themselves. They had already learned about Seito's Familia today! After all, a Familia where every single member was Level 10 was impossible to ignore. Kitahara Iori and the others proudly soaked up the crowd's praises. In Orario, strength decided everything!
Soon, the group arrived at the party venue. Two guards from the Adventurer's Guild stood at the entrance, collecting invitation slips.
The young man on the left spotted Seito's group and stood up straight. "Lord Seito, Lady Hestia, Lady Kirukiru, Lady Maple, please show your invitations."
Seito and the others didn't make a fuss, handing the invitation slips straight over. The guard took them and carefully checked the cards.
In the lower world, most people carried a god's blessing, so they could easily read divine energy signatures. While Seito's group could also use blessings and similar systems, there was absolutely no point. After all, wasn't the God Domain's leveling system vastly superior to a standard blessing?
"Please go right in, Lord Gods," the two Guild members made a polite bowing gesture.
Seito and his companions stepped through the entrance. The moment they entered the banquet hall, they began to take in their surroundings. The venue was exceptionally gorgeous, radiating a distinct, holy atmosphere.
Looking around, the hall was packed with various refreshments and countless deities. Many of those gods had brought their own children along to attend the social party. Doing so served two purposes: first, it let their children experience a high-profile divine gathering, and second, it sparked a sense of pride and honor within them.
The arrival of Seito's group instantly locked the attention of many native gods!
"Is that the outside god?!"
"Wow! What a incredibly handsome deity!
He looks so much better than that old geezer Zeus!"
"Seito, handsome boy! Do you want to go out with me? I'm still a virgin goddess!"
"Cut the crap, you bitch! Do you think I don't know what you've been up to?!"
"Are those the children of Seito's Familia? They seem absolutely bursting with youthful energy!"
"..."
Countless gods chimed in, openly gossiping about Seito and his group. A few goddess types even wanted to test their charms on Seito, which caused his mouth to twitch slightly. He knew the general state of this Western Mythos Faction from his memory files. To put it bluntly, pure and untouched goddesses were an extreme rarity here! Since life in the heavens was far too boring, everyone was constantly looking for a wild source of entertainment.
However, gods like Hestia, Hephaestus, and Loki were notable exceptions. After all, they weren't just ordinary deities!
Over in a corner of the crowded room, a red-haired goddess wearing small leather pants, a white shirt, and a black eyepatch over her eye looked over. Her features were exquisitely refined, and her curvaceous, full figure gave her a deeply mature beauty. This goddess was none other than Hephaestus, the Goddess of Smithing, and Hestia's closest friend!
"Did Hestia actually arrive alongside this outside god?"
Hephaestus's crimson lips curled slightly. She was deeply curious about an outside god like Seito. As one of the prominent primary deities, she knew a great deal about the layout of the God-King Star Sector, fully aware that it was a brutal war zone where God-Kings constantly slaughtered one another. She never expected Hestia to become close friends with an outsider from that floor. Hephaestus trusted Hestia's judgment, knowing her friend wouldn't just mingle with dangerous individuals. It was precisely because of this trust that her curiosity toward Seito grew even stronger.
