Elsewhere.
The Divine Assembly held in Babel Tower had now officially begun.
A muscular man wearing an elephant-trunk mask raised his arms high, shouting passionately:
"I am Ganesha!"
"I will be presiding over this meeting!"
As the designated host, Ganesha's enthusiasm energized the entire hall.
Ganesha, known as the Lord of the Masses, led an S-rank Familia.
Standing at the very center of the stage, he faced the gathered gods, holding a [magic stone]-based microphone in hand.
"As for the reason this divine assembly was suddenly brought forward—"
"I have something serious to announce."
"According to intelligence reports…"
"It seems the Rakia Kingdom is once again preparing to invade Orario."
In an instant, the gods erupted into a storm of chatter, like a pot boiling over.
"This is way too sudden."
"That war god again? He's really back?"
"Ugh, every year it's him causing trouble—so annoying! Aaaaahh!!"
"Seriously annoying. Someone needs to deal with that white-eyed god already."
"Why does that Rakia place have so many people worshipping Ares?"
"Probably 'cause he's kinda likable. Kids tend to go for that type."
"…"
The conversation never once dulled—topics shifted rapidly.
Despite that, the atmosphere remained relaxed.
The gods chatted as they pleased, interrupting each other mid-sentence, casually throwing out opinions.
There was no sense of tension whatsoever.
Hestia, attending her first Divine Assembly, looked visibly annoyed.
The chaotic lack of order—
Was something all the other gods were completely used to by now.
Watching the chaos spiral out of control, Ganesha clapped his hands and said:
"Alright now, let's all calm down!"
The room gradually quieted.
"I am Ganesha!"
"——And you're too noisy!"
"As for Ares's movements, I'll continue monitoring them. Let's shelve that topic for now."
"Anyone else got questions? I can answer anything!"
All the gods went silent.
"Alright then."
"Next up: the naming ceremony for newly promoted adventurers!"
As soon as Ganesha said this, all the gods' expressions changed.
"Here we go, here we go!"
"This is what we've been waiting for!"
"Damn it, I only came here for this part!"
"Man, I'm pumped!"
"I've gotta give my child the coolest title ever!"
"…"
Ganesha began distributing information packets from the Guild regarding promoted adventurers.
Hestia, silent all this time, anxiously flipped through the pages.
Only on the last page did she find Raven Eltharion's profile.
Next to her, Hephaestus gave a helpless smile and said:
"Looks like your child…"
"Will be the main event."
Miach and Takemikazuchi exchanged glances, both visibly resigned.
"His growth is just too outrageous."
"But… Hestia,"
Takemikazuchi suddenly clenched his right fist.
"I heard your child saved members of my Familia the day before yesterday."
"I'll make sure to speak up for him."
Miach chimed in:
"Same here."
"Naaza told me Raven's been supporting my shop quite a bit too."
Hearing this, Hestia's eyes lit up with renewed hope.
"Great."
"Then I'll count on you for Raven-kun's title!"
At the same time—
Hermes flipped to the final page and narrowed his eyes.
Staring at the parchment stamped with the Guild's official approval of the level-up, he muttered softly:
"…Raven, huh?"
—
Shortly after, the Naming Ceremony officially began.
"I am Ganesha!"
"Everyone's read the info, right? Then let's begin!"
"Please, everyone, turn to the last page."
Ganesha suddenly grinned widely, hands on his hips, revealing a dazzling row of white teeth.
His words—
Made Hestia's heart skip a beat.
"This guy… why is he jumping straight to the last page!?"
Immediately, all the gods flipped to the end to see what was up.
Manny: "Th-this… this info can't be real, right?"
Modi: "Fake, gotta be fake."
Deline: "No way. Absolutely impossible."
Nadely: "Yeah, right? This is just ridiculous!"
Ogma: "Is there really someone who can level up in a single day?"
Hermes chuckled:
"Perhaps this is the unknown charm of the lower world… or maybe even a miracle."
Serqet: "His leveling achievement was defeating the floor boss… Goliath?"
Sobek: "You've gotta be kidding. That Maze King's a Level 4, isn't it?"
Hathor: "Oh my~~ Hestia, you really picked up a treasure, huh?"
Demeter: "Ara ara~ Hestia, looks like I was right earlier after all."
"Truly unbelievable."
"Can I meet your child sometime?"
At that moment, a screech of frustration rang throughout the hall:
"AAAAAHHHHH!!"
"Damn it!"
"That was supposed to be my child!"
Thinking back on how that kid had come straight to her only to be chased off by Bete—
Loki now wore a face full of bitter regret.
