Hestia was heartbroken to learn that Roy was already someone else's child. Her life was so hard; she had finally met a kind-hearted boy, only to have him snatched away by someone else.
She brought this upon herself.
All things considered, the gods have only been on earth for about a thousand years, which is a very long time for humans, but for the eternal gods, it is nothing, especially for Hestia, who is still in the heavens.
Hestia felt that while she was sleeping at home, all the good children in the lower world had been taken away.
"Waaaaah~"
Small pearls started falling from Hestia's face.
Roy took out a silk handkerchief from his spatial ring, wiped away the other woman's tears, and asked, "Lady Hestia, what brings you here?"
At this point, Hestia's voice choked with emotion, and she grabbed Roy's two delicate hands as if he were her last lifeline. "Roy, I'm here to see my friend Hephaestus!"
Roy's mind raced, and he roughly understood that Hestia must have just been kicked out of her home by Hephaestus, which was why she was so destitute that she couldn't even afford to eat.
"The goddess Hephaestus? I just met her. Please come with me!" Roy said with a smile.
"Yay!"
Hestia jumped up with joy. If it weren't for Roy, she would have been truly desperate and become the first god in the world to starve to death.
Roy led Hestia into the banquet hall.
The moment Hestia appeared, the divine power she displayed immediately attracted the attention of all the gods; she was no ordinary, weak deity.
Among the gods, they are known as the "Three Virgin Goddesses," and their powers are considered top-tier.
"Hestia, you actually descended to the mortal realm!"
"Oh my god, am I seeing things? It's Hestia, the one who's been staying at home for hundreds of thousands of years without ever leaving!"
"The ancient Greek goddess of thunder!"
A sudden uproar erupted in the banquet hall, a chaotic scene resembling a marketplace, as the gods swarmed around Hestia, the ultimate homebody, patting her head and pinching her cheeks.
"Get out of my way, all of you!" Hestia gritted her teeth in anger and slapped them one by one with her slippers.
-
The male god who was chosen displayed a masochistic, infatuated expression, which almost made Hestia vomit.
"Little dwarf!"
Loki rushed over in a great hurry.
"Loki!" Hestia's expression changed. Her most hateful nemesis was Loki, and it was because Hades told her about Loki's situation that she hurriedly descended to the mortal realm.
I was determined to build a massive clan that surpasses Loki's, but two months have passed and I've accomplished nothing. The mortal realm is truly cruel.
"Hahaha, I'm relieved to see you're still so short!" Loki patted Hestia's little head and let out a triumphant laugh.
At 1.65 meters tall, Loki was a full head taller than Hestia, who was 1.4 meters tall.
"hateful!"
Hestia pounced on him like a wildcat, but Loki pressed her forehead with his hand. Her short, thin arms couldn't reach Loki, making for a very comical scene.
Loki, who had gained the upper hand, laughed wildly.
Hestia had no choice but to launch a mental attack: "How ridiculous! Did you come all this way just to mock me? Look at your pathetic chest!"
After saying this, Hestia pointed the way, seemingly transforming into a spear that pierced Loki's heart.
Compared to Hestia's pair of raging thunderbolts, Loki's was practically flat, without a single ripple, enough to make anyone who heard of it grieve and anyone who saw it weep.
"Shorty!" Loki, taking advantage of his height, grabbed Hestia's delicate cheeks and squeezed them wildly.
"Loki vs. Hestia, interesting!"
"I bet ten thousand Faris, Rocky will win!"
"If either the Loli Goddess or Loki Sweetie loses, let me go and comfort one of them!"
The gods surrounded the banquet in layers, and the clamor never ceased, rising in waves, instantly making the atmosphere of the grand feast lively.
Roy had already retreated to a corner to watch the show.
Hearing the commotion in the hall, Hephaestus, Astrea, and many other goddesses returned from the other living room and saw what was happening inside.
Hephaestus exclaimed in surprise, "Hestia?"
-
"Hephaestus, I've found you!"
Hestia, whose cheeks were swollen and red from Loki's rough treatment, looked like an orphan who had been away for years, finally seeing his mother.
Although Hephaestus had driven Hestia out, she was still very worried. Seeing that Hestia was safe and sound, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief. On the surface, however, she maintained a tense expression. "I'll say it again, I will not let you live in my house again!"
Hestia, utterly devoid of any goddessly dignity, clung tightly to Hephaestus's leg, crying, "Waaah, Hephaestus, you have to help me!"
Hephaestus sighed, "Just as I thought!"
Under Hestia's persistent and unreasonable demands, Hephaestus went along with it, feigning helplessness, "Alright, I'll help you find a job and a place to live."
"Yay! Yay!"
Hestia cheered with great joy.
From her initial grand ambition to build a large clan, Hestia is now content with just a job and a place to live.
Astraea called out, "Hestia."
"Asteria!!"
Hestia's eyes lit up, and she exclaimed in delight, throwing herself into the other's arms. She had finally found her two most reliable divine friends in the mortal realm.
The two possess equally powerful thunderbolts, and the sight of them embracing each other is truly delightful.
"If you need help, you can also ask me." Astraea gently stroked Hestia; the two had a good relationship in the Celestial Realm.
Because of her easygoing personality, Hestia had an unimaginable number of friends, including Hera, Astraea, and Hephaestus—all of whom were willing to play with her.
"Uh-huh!"
Hestia nodded happily.
But Hestia was unaware of the significance of Astraea's words at that moment.
The other gods were green with envy. With the two top-tier clans of Orario as their backers, their lives were simply too comfortable and carefree!
"You must be starving outside."
"There's plenty of food here, you can eat as much as you want," Hephaestus gestured to Hestia.
On the long table in the banquet hall, countless delicious foods were neatly arranged, all cooked by the world's best chefs. Even a banquet held by the gods would be complete with a variety of delicacies, let alone a celebration banquet jointly organized by the guild and the school district.
Looking at the delicious-looking food, Hestia would have pounced on it an hour ago, but now, her belly was full of food that Roy had fed her, which was just as delicious as the food here, so there was nothing to regret.
"Hiccup~"
Hestia let out a burp.
Hephaestus looked at Hestia in surprise. Even if she had encountered a kind vendor, she shouldn't have eaten so much. It seemed there was something she didn't know.
"Hephaestus, I met a very kind child who gave me a lot—a lot of delicious things." Hestia chuckled.
As she spoke, Hestia's bright eyes scanned the spacious banquet hall, quickly locking onto Roy in a corner. She excitedly waved, "Roy!"
Roy smiled slightly and greeted them.
Hephaestus was relieved; at least it wasn't poisoning. "Roy is a child of the Astrea family."
"Thank you, Astraea!"
Hestia happily took Astrea's hand. She was still wondering which god's child such a good child could be. If he was Astrea's, then it wouldn't be surprising, as he was the goddess of justice.
"You are welcome."
Astraea laughed, saying she was also very happy that Roy could be friends with Hestia.
After the banquet, everyone went home.
Hephaestus led Hestia to the basement of the ruined church in the western region, where they tidied it up a bit to use as their future base.
Since it wasn't as luxurious as Hephaestus's house, Hestia had no choice but to accept it and prepare to start a new life.
"The children from the dependent families told me that the potato ball stall in the North District is short-handed. You can try working there tomorrow," Hephaestus said.
Hestia nodded emphatically, "Okay!"
Hephaestus hesitated for a moment before continuing, "If you want to be happy in the lower realm, you should establish a clan. Even from an economic perspective, it's the best choice. Do you have a goal?"
"Um!"
Hestia's eyes brightened.
Seeing her friend get serious, Hephaestus became interested. "What race is the child? How old is he? I can help you find out."
Hestia said, "Hephaestus, I want to find a child just like Roy!"
"Pfft! Cough!" Hephaestus was drinking water when she heard Hestia's boastful words and immediately spat it all out, coughing violently.
Hestia was sprayed all over. "Aaaaaah—Hephaestus, what are you doing?"
"Cough! Cough!"
Hephaestus glared at Hestia reproachfully. It's all your fault. Otherwise, why would she be so out of control, going after someone like Roy? She really dares to say that.
"Hestia, I think it's necessary to give you a basic lesson on Orario," Hephaestus sighed, lest she become a laughingstock.
She had wanted to do this for a long time, but Hestia, who was lazy by nature, always said, "I'll do it tomorrow."
When Hephaestus slapped Roy's information onto Hestia's face, the newly descended goddess finally understood why her divine friend had reacted that way.
"what?"
Hestia's mouth gaped open, big enough to fit a duck egg. Was the boy she met on the road really that amazing? Orario, no! He was one of the most outstanding adventurers in the history of the lower realm, the kind who was guaranteed to be in the top three and strived for first place. He was hailed by the gods as the "Child of Miracles," the "All-Powerful Monster," the "Madman," and a whole host of other titles and nicknames.
The Rudra and Ishtar that she saw in the heavenly realm were, in a sense, sent up there by Roy.
Miracles and hope in the lower realms, their deeds are documented!
Unbelievable!
The information Hades, Ishtar, and Rudra provided her was outdated; the Astrea Familia had surpassed the Loki Familia and was now undisputed second!
If she could find a child like Roy, she could immediately move into the most luxurious hotel in Orario, instead of holed up in the basement of this abandoned church.
The gods pleaded desperately, but could not obtain it!
What makes her so daring to make such a bold statement as to recruit children of Roy's caliber?
Hestia recalled the scene of their first meeting: under the bright moonlight, the handsome young man appeared before her like a prince of the night descending from the sky, making her feel even more distressed.
