The anime has gradually become perverted since the beginning of the game

“Astrea! How could you do this!! Artemis is already troublesome enough, and you still want to join in the fun...”

Hestia undoubtedly rejected Astrea's proposal.

But.

“Alright, if you can keep Orion from being found by my Familia for a day, then you win!” Artemis was now full of confidence and not afraid of another competitor.

It's just adding a little more fun.

Could it be that I, who can sense Orion with divine power, will really lose?

“How could this be... Yuan is clearly mine...”

“I knew I shouldn't have agreed to Artemis's ridiculous request.”

Hestia squatted on the ground, drawing circles in frustration.

It was supposed to be 1V1.

Now it's become 1V1V1.

“What, do you think we'll lose?” Alfia looked at Hestia's dejected appearance beside her, speechless.

She had even thought of a way to win.

Find Lu Yuan?

Heh.

Finding that guy requires manpower.

I wonder.

When she knocks out all the members of the Artemis Familia, will the goddess Artemis still be able to laugh?

She was very much looking forward to it...

......

The next day.

Just as dawn broke.

Following the rules set yesterday.

A game called [Lu Yuan's Scramble] quietly unfolded in the Great Tree Sea.

The members of Astrea, holding the [Arrow of Orion], were the first to enter the Great Tree Sea.

An hour later.

Regardless of whether they had finished hiding, the Artemis and Hestia Familia would simultaneously set off into the Great Tree Sea to find the location of the [Arrow of Orion].

Once one side sees the main body of the [Arrow of Orion], that is, the spear itself.

Then it will be regarded as winning the game and obtaining the ownership of Lu Yuan.

“Then, I'll leave with the members first... I hope you can find us in an hour...”

Smiling and waving to Artemis and Hestia, Astrea gripped Lu Yuan's main body, the [Arrow of Orion], and set off again towards the depths of the Great Tree Sea.

“Alfia, Bell, Lili, Cassandra, Daphne! No matter what, I'm counting on you for this game! Please be sure to bring back your captain!” Hestia took a deep breath and shouted to the group.

Bell: “Leave it to me, Kami-sama! I will bring Yuan-nii back!”

Lili: “Although Lu Yuan-sama is unreliable, there's nothing we can do. Who told him to be our captain? Lili will try her best to find him.”

Cassandra and Daphne: “Understood.”

Alfia: “I will bring that guy back.”

On the other side.

Artemis saw Hestia cheering for her Familia, although she was very confident in finding Lu Yuan.

But in the end, in order to be in the spirit of things, she still slightly encouraged her Familia.

“Everyone! Please bring back our Artemis Familia's Orion!”

“Yes! Artemis-sama!”

Everyone nodded solemnly, their emotions running high.

Time passed by little by little.

An hour is only 3600 seconds after all.

Soon.

The time agreed upon by the three Familia arrived.

“Then... split up and run!” Artemis shouted sharply, immediately directing her Familia to scatter and rush into the Great Tree Sea in a frenzy.

“This is... has she seen through my intentions... she seems much smarter than Hestia, I need to do more.”

Looking at the Artemis Familia, who had disappeared without a trace in an instant, Alfia was a little surprised.

She thought that before the start, the other party would have a friendly exchange with Hestia before starting the game.

Then, taking advantage of the exchange, she could completely attack and knock out the members of the Artemis Familia, including the main god.

After all, the game has already started, hasn't it?

But looking at the current situation.

Artemis is much more shrewd than she imagined.

It's impossible to knock them all out in an instant.

Now she can only attack them in the Great Tree Sea.

“Let's start too.”

Looking at Hestia, who was dumbfounded and hadn't woken up from the scene of Artemis's instant departure, Alfia sighed and immediately led the group into the Great Tree Sea.

A swift decision.

A day is too long...

At the same time.

At the instant the game started.

The three members of the Astrea Familia who set out had already arrived in the deep area of the eastern Great Tree Sea.

“Astrea-sama, since the goddess Artemis is so confident in finding Lu Yuan, and even allowed us to participate in the game, she must have a way to find Lu Yuan!”

Sitting on a broken tree branch, Ryu Lion looked serious.

She saw this when Artemis agreed to let their Familia participate!

“That's right! With Lu Yuan-sama's current identity as the [Arrow of Orion], the goddess Artemis might really be able to sense Lu Yuan-sama's situation and come looking for him!” Alise nodded in agreement.

She didn't believe that Artemis would allow these extra members to compete for Lu Yuan without absolute certainty.

“I know.” Astrea didn't panic at all, but smiled and nodded, signaling Ryu Lion and Alise to relax.

“The artifact and the main god are connected. If I'm not mistaken, this spear that Lu Yuan has turned into should be able to be sensed by Artemis.” Stroking the spear body of the [Arrow of Orion], feeling the familiar aura on it, Astrea's smile did not diminish.

“This connection is very close, and normally it can't be cut off.”

“But...”

“I don't need to cut off this connection at all! As long as I simulate the aura of the artifact, create a false impression, and stall for time, that's enough!”

Simulating the aura, even the aura of an exclusive artifact, is almost impossible for ordinary gods.

Just like divine power.

Artemis's divine power is blue.

Freya's divine power tends to be pink.

Hestia's divine power is bright yellow.

Each god's divine power is unique.

And the artifact stained with the god's aura is theoretically also unique.

But, who told Astrea to be the goddess of justice?

As the goddess of justice, she holds the authority of fairness!

Fairness is definitely one of the all-purpose authorities.

Artemis can sense the aura of the artifact, which is unfair to others in this game!

Since it is unfair, then her authority can be used!

In the name of fairness, a large number of auras of the [Arrow of Orion] were copied and sprinkled in the Great Tree Sea.

Authority is derived from divine power, but it is higher than divine power.

Freya and Ishtar's charm is a kind of authority, the authority of beauty.

Freya's ability to charm the entire Orario in the future is also an authority, an amplified authority of beauty, not divine power.

Hestia's future use of divine blood as a guide to control thousands of stoves, ignite divine fire, and lift Freya's charm is also an authority, or rather, a power.

In the Danmachi world, under certain conditions, the authority of gods can be used in the Lower World!

But most of the conditions for using authority are very harsh.

Out of 100 authorities, 99.5 of them may not be usable.

Like the beauty gods' own, naturally usable authority, are few and far between.

Therefore.

Using authority does not violate the rules set by the gods!

Now, with the game as the basis, divine blood as the guide, relying on the all-purpose authority [Fairness].

Astrea is confident in winning this game!

“No wonder Astrea-sama sprinkled divine blood in various places, is it to confuse the goddess Artemis's perception?” Ryu Lion and Alise understood instantly.

No wonder, after entering the Great Tree Sea, Astrea took out the bottle containing her divine blood every now and then and dripped it on the trees.

So that's the reason!

From this point of view, their Astrea Familia has a high probability of winning this game!

On the other side.

Artemis, commanding her Familia to rush into the Great Tree Sea to search for the [Arrow of Orion], felt the countless artifact auras permeating the Great Tree Sea, and her eyes narrowed.

“Authority...”

“What a powerful calculation, Astrea, but... authority is not the only thing you can use...”
