Chapter 275: Hestia's Explosive Declaration
🕑 Added 2025-07-02 05:32:55 +0000 UTC"Oh, this is quite a headache. Something like this happened right after forming an alliance. It makes me wonder if that mischievous Blake planned all this."
As Hestia and Freya confronted each other, Loki also interjected, saying something that shocked the other gods.
Loki would actually form an alliance with Hestia?
How was that possible?!
However, the next moment, they all remembered the name mentioned in Loki's words and frowned. Their curiosity about Blake surged again.
It was that unconventional young man again. They truly wondered how he managed it. Hestia and Loki's feud was infamous!
“Loki, Hephaestus, are you two going to interfere as well?”
Freya looked at the smiling Loki and Hephaestus, who stood silently beside Hestia, staring coldly at her, and said in a low voice.
“I can’t help it. After all, we just swore an alliance yesterday on the honor of our Familias.
Although I really dislike this little runt, I won’t break a promise.”
Hearing this, Loki shrugged and met Freya’s gaze with fearless eyes.
“You harmed my god friend. Do you think I’ll tolerate that?”
Hephaestus was even more concise.
And the support from these two slightly moved Hestia, even lessening her resentment toward Loki a bit.
“Very well. Then, Hestia, how do you intend to resolve this incident? Monetary compensation?”
Just then, Freya strangely calmed down, looking directly at Hestia, and spoke indifferently.
“My sole purpose in coming here to find you is to initiate a Familia War Game.”
Hearing this, Hestia showed no weakness, suddenly declaring these words!
Hiss—!
As soon as these words fell, Freya froze, Loki froze, and Hephaestus also froze.
The other gods all gasped, looking at Hestia with incredulous eyes.
With the sole Level 7 adventurer—the so-called ultimate weapon Ottar—and many high-level adventurers, the Freya Familia was undoubtedly the strongest Familia in this world, without equal.
Because of this, no god present dared to say such a thing to Freya.
Yet, Hestia, in front of all the gods, spoke these words without a trace of hesitation.
How could they not be surprised?!
After all, although the Hestia Familia had the newly emerged prodigy Blake and had recently crushed the Apollo Familia in a War Game, in their eyes, the Hestia Familia was still in its infancy.
With only two members, there was a vast difference between them and the Freya Familia.
And as for that world-destroying holy sword—since Blake had already used it and exposed it—it wouldn't have much effect against the Freya Familia now.
Therefore, the gods’ only evaluation of Hestia was that she was overestimating herself, blinded by anger.
Or perhaps, she thought that with Loki and Hephaestus’s help, she could directly confront Freya.
Regardless of the possibility, these gods, who loved a good show, said no more.
They simply watched with extremely excited and expectant eyes, waiting for the situation to unfold.
Such events were the most thrilling entertainment for them—gods who had descended to the mortal world out of boredom.
“Hestia, do you think Loki and Hephaestus will go to war with me for you?”
Just then, Freya finally spoke, her eyes flickering with a strange glint.
This, in turn, made the expressions of Loki and Hephaestus change as they snapped back to reality.
“I haven’t counted on other gods.
This is a private matter between our Hestia Familia and your Freya Familia.
I do not intend to rely on other forces.”
Hearing this, Hestia said without hesitation.
This also made Hephaestus anxious. The situation was developing in a very wrong direction.
“Hahahaha! Hestia, you said it yourself! Familia War Game—I accept!
However, my condition is that if I win, you must hand over Blake and let him become a child of my Familia!”
Freya seemed to have been waiting for Hestia to say this.
She immediately burst into frantic laughter, disregarding her image, and spoke these words rapidly.
The desire and ecstasy in her eyes could not be concealed.
She had been agonizing over how to obtain Blake, and now Hestia had actually delivered him to her doorstep!
If Loki and Hephaestus had interfered, coupled with the unconventional Level 7 Blake, there would indeed have been danger.
However, since Hestia impulsively discarded external support, Freya was sure to win!
“Then it’s settled. My victory condition is that you hand over eighty percent of the Freya Familia’s resources to the Hestia Familia.”
Hearing this, Hestia’s eyes flickered, and she spoke to herself.
This, in turn, made Hephaestus and Loki’s expressions darken.
They looked at Hestia with extreme displeasure, as if they had seen something incredible.
“The specific rules will be finalized by the Guild. So that’s that.”
After coldly finishing these words, Hestia walked out amidst the strange gazes of the gods.
Loki and Hephaestus, their faces displeased, quickly chased after her.
Seeing this, Freya’s lips also curled. Her face flushed again, and Blake’s figure reappeared in her mind.
> “Hestia truly doesn’t deserve you.
Just wait, I will definitely bring you to my side!”
Seeing this farce finally conclude—with one of the protagonists having left—the gods all began to excitedly discuss, making the atmosphere noisy.

And just as she walked out of the hall, Hestia was grabbed by the arm by Hephaestus, who forcefully restrained her.
“Hestia, what were you thinking?!
How could you casually declare war on Freya?!
And even use that child, Blake, as a wager!
Have you gone mad with anger?!”
Hephaestus demanded angrily.
“Little runt, although I usually dislike you, you shouldn’t be someone who acts so impulsively, should you?
Why did you do this?”
Loki also rarely opened her eyes, questioning her.
This behavior seemed incomprehensible to both of them.
Hestia seemed to have completely changed her personality compared to before...
“This is Blake’s choice.
He is willing to fight so hard for me.
As his goddess, I cannot be as incompetent as before.”
Hearing this, Hestia’s expression instantly softened, stating her reasons vaguely.
Although the content of her words was difficult to understand, the underlying meaning was clear.
At this, Loki and Hephaestus were both stunned, looking at Hestia in disbelief.
