Danmachi: Is It Wrong to Be the Main Character in Orario? Chapter 959: The World Converges on Orario

The lively banquet soon ca to an end.

After discussing the matter of the "Pain Period" and securing the gods’ unanimous agreent to accept it, the next task was to handle matters with the Guild.

The situation in the Type-Moon world was still unclear, but there was no need to rush.

Since the gods had already descended to the lower world, spreading the word would be much easier. Moreover, because this was Bell’s world, information would naturally spread faster here.

Within the following two days, the gods from all over the world learned about this and began gathering in Orario.

It wasn’t just the gods; even the common folk of Genkai were doing the sa.

News of the world’s impending reconstruction and its eventual abandonnt spread throughout the entire Danmachi world.

Because of this, both adventurers and regular people were collecting their valuables and heading toward Orario.

No one wanted to be left behind when the world shifted.

And everyone was curious about what the new world would be like.

Naturally, the flow of people was staggering.

To manage this, the Guild and the Ganesha Familia had already started preparing in advance.

The city of Orario couldn’t possibly accommodate the entire world’s population, so areas outside Orario had begun preparations to receive the influx.

Production-oriented familias like the Goibniu Familia, the Deter Familia, and the Dian Cecht Familia had all fully engaged in the construction efforts.

This could be seen as the final celebration before the countdown to the world’s end.

Naturally, the gods themselves had also started preparing ntally.

At the sa ti, Ouranos had begun reactivating the Tenkai gate connecting the heavens to the Genkai. Gods who had been banished back to the heavens were now returning to the lower world.

Of course, all these gods needed to register with the Guild. Special attention was given to those from the Evilus faction, who had been banished for their misdeeds—these gods were subject to close monitoring.

"Tsk tsk~ Who’d have thought the last hope would turn out like this?"

The black-haired youth surveyed the street scene with a smile, though surprise was more evident on his face.

"Pfft!"

The dark-skinned goddess standing beside him, however, wore a displeased expression, clearly still sour from her forced banishnt. She was gazing at this familiar yet unfamiliar street, her mood still clouded with resentnt.

"Erebos, are you pleased now? Everything has gone exactly as you predicted."

Hearing her complaint, the youth, Erebos, smiled indifferently.

"Well~ This path has proven quite interesting. My move was just a small diversion. In the end, everything is still unfolding under the guidance of the ’World.’"

"But you, Isthar—you were banished by the Guild and Loki. How does it feel to lose the ga?"

"Pfft!"

Isthar shot Erebos a displeased glare. That bastard loved poking at people’s weak spots.

"I was set up. Set up by that woman, Loki. Even if I was ant to lose, she should have at least let put up a fight! Instead, I got caught and tossed back to the heavens..."

Half a year ago, Loki had had her banished back to the heavens. Now, she was back down again. This ti, however, it wasn’t due to special permission—it was because the world was undergoing a period of upheaval, and the new world needed to be rebuilt. That’s why she had returned to the Genkai.

ntioning this made Isthar’s face twist in discomfort.

She could clearly see the changes in the Genkai, but the problem was—it had only been six months! How could there have been such drastic changes in such a short ti?

"I had no idea what was happening during those six months. Only after I was sent back down did I learn what had really been going on in the Genkai."

Up in the Tenkai, they truly knew nothing. Even the recent full Dungeon guide hadn’t been shared with them.

Had she not returned to the Genkai, they really wouldn’t have known anything.

But now, after learning the truth, Isthar felt an overwhelming urge to cry.

"If I had known about the upheaval in the Genkai, I would have behaved more cautiously."

"Pfft!"

Isthar’s words of regret succeeded in making Erebos laugh.

"Hahaha! Isthar, do you really not know yourself?"

"You’re always at odds with Freya. If you knew she had set her sights on a child, wouldn’t you imdiately shift your focus? Have you even considered what would happen if you actually followed through with those thoughts?"

"Didn’t you learn the consequences of Dionysus and Thanatos when you ca down yesterday? Or do you think your looks could rival Freya’s?"

This barrage of stinging remarks left Isthar’s face looking grim.

"Who the hell are you?! We were allies once!"

Erebos nearly burst out laughing again, but he restrained himself a bit, realizing that such behavior in the middle of the street was a bit inappropriate.

"Exactly because we were comrades, I’m warning you now, Isthar."

"Your mind should be a little sharper. Think about it—who exactly sent you back to the heavens?"

"Wasn’t it the Guild and Loki?"

Isthar crossed her arms dismissively. Yet she knew that Erebos had more to say—otherwise, he wouldn’t have asked the question.

"Loki?"

Erebos shook his head with a smirk.

"Didn’t you say it yourself? Back then, you were only targeting children from outside. So how did Loki know about your shady dealings?"

"How should I know? I never laid a finger on any of Loki’s kids."

Isthar’s face darkened at the ntion.

To deal with Freya, she had joined the Evilus faction and worked to fund them. This involved trafficking demi-humans and "Xenos," as well as so flesh trade dealings inside Orario. But she couldn’t rember ever targeting Loki directly.

"If Freya ca after , I’d understand. At least it would an I was seen as a threat. But why would Loki bother ?"

Had Freya sent her back to the heavens, Isthar would have felt annoyed, but it wouldn’t have been so agonizing.

Being targeted by Freya ant she had enough worth to be considered a threat by that woman, who usually ignored her.

But being sent ho by Loki—it bothered Isthar deeply.

Erebos, however, wasn’t particularly surprised. He imdiately understood the dynamics.

"This ans you were holding sothing that made Loki drool, enough that he couldn’t resist sending you back to the heavens."

"Holding sothing...?!?"

Isthar’s expression twisted in shock. As soon as she understood, she clenched her teeth and spat out the answer, each word heavy with realization.

"It was Haruhi!"

Ah, so that was it. Now she understood why Loki was targeting her. The real reason was Haruhi!
