Chapter 328: #328 - Section 328

So, in the end, there's temporarily nothing left to do in this world.

Well then, let's go on a trip next.

Since I promised to take Shirahime on a trip, Wang Xiaoming naturally has to take her.

In the year 2000 on Earth, transportation wasn't as developed as it is now, but for Wang Xiaoming, that doesn't matter because this time, Wang Xiaoming is flying on Kinto'un.

And while traveling, Wang Xiaoming also conveniently brought along Kurohime and her subordinates.

After all, she calls me 'Dad.' Although Wang Xiaoming doesn't acknowledge her as his daughter, since she's already calling him that, might as well bring her along.

The mode of transportation like Kinto'un greatly shocked Kurohime and the Black and White Knights.

In the world of Fate/stay night, teleportation magic doesn't exist. Even flight magic is very difficult because the magic circuits within a mage's body cannot generate enough magical power to supply such magic.

Therefore, Noble Phantasms are called the crystallization of human dreams, incredibly powerful.

Thus, Wang Xiaoming relied on Kinto'un, his private jet, to start traveling around Europe with Kurohime and Shirahime.

There weren't many places to visit in 2000. Central Asia and South Asia weren't worth going to. Going to Southeast Asia would mostly be about seeing the sea and rainforests. There wasn't much to see in the Americas either because the Americas are basically just the United States.

So, the European region was probably the only one worth seeing. Because it's a world of magic, the architectural style of Europe, the region with the highest concentration of mages, is indeed worth seeing, especially some of the smaller countries. The architecture still retains its former appearance, and most importantly, there are fewer people, so it's not so crowded.

Taking Kurohime and Shirahime together, starting from London, then to Northern Europe, then to Eastern Europe, then circling around the Mediterranean to Western Europe, and finally, under Shirahime's guidance, entering the Millennium Castle.

Through this cycle, Wang Xiaoming got a good look at European culture.

And after appreciating this wave of European culture, Wang Xiaoming took Leticia back to Orario.

I have to say, although there weren't too many gains, the most important gain was still very satisfying to Wang Xiaoming.

After returning to Orario, Wang Xiaoming immediately put on his glasses and tried it out in Orario. He could still see the lines of death.

Even if he's not in the world of Fate/stay night, the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception can still work normally, allowing Wang Xiaoming to kill anything, even concepts. This wave is truly a huge win.

With this, Wang Xiaoming has completely established himself in this world.

However, what surprised Wang Xiaoming was that after he returned to Orario and tried out the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, a window popped up in front of him.

【Achievement: Gaze from the God-King】

【Power of Sky and Earth】

Characteristic: You have received the gaze of the Sky God-King Ouranos, and therefore have received the blessing of the sky and earth. The sky and earth will be at your disposal.

Ouranos?

Wang Xiaoming was a little surprised. He naturally knew that the strongest god in the world of Orario was Ouranos, who created the Guild, but he didn't expect Ouranos to pay attention to him. Shouldn't he be paying attention to Bell, Zeus's grandson?

674. Ouranos's Invitation

Ouranos's attention made Wang Xiaoming curious. This Sky God-King usually stays deep underground in the Guild, using his divine power to suppress the Dungeon, reducing the monster production speed, so that adventurers from various familias can enter the Dungeon to subjugate monsters.

He basically never appears. Even during festivals, he only gives a response from a distance and then allows the gods to use their divine power. Other than that, there is no action at all.

Except when dealing with the Xenos and Bell's affairs.

Ouranos and Zeus are old friends. Although in terms of seniority, Ouranos, as the first-generation God-King of Olympus, is the grandfather of the third-generation God-King Zeus, in reality, such relationships between gods are not very close, especially since Olympus has various sons killing their fathers.

However, Zeus, as the third-generation God-King, killed the second-generation God-King, which has nothing to do with Ouranos, so it's perfectly fine for the two of them to become friends.

And Bell is Zeus's grandson. Although he's not a biological grandson, Bell is the last hero of the Zeus Familia.

The former Zeus Familia and Hera Familia were the pinnacles of Orario. Unfortunately, they suffered heavy losses in the main force that subjugated the Black Dragon, and after losing their main combat power, they were jointly overthrown by Freya and Loki.

From the perspective of Orario's living environment, Loki and Freya are doing better than Zeus and Hera did before because the environment of Orario in Zeus's era was a mess.

And Bell is the last hero Zeus cultivated after he was kicked out of Orario.

However, in Wang Xiaoming's opinion, this hero is a hero destined by fate.

His path has already been arranged by Zeus, destined to embark on the path of becoming a hero.

It's just that now, because of Wang Xiaoming's sudden emergence, this hero's situation is not particularly good. At least in terms of popularity, he is far behind the Hestia Familia led by Wang Xiaoming.

Originally, he broke the record established by Wang Xiaoming for reaching LV3 in the shortest time, but then Wang Xiaoming immediately led a group of people from his own familia to reach LV3 in an even shorter time, which made Bell very uncomfortable. Even if Bell has a resounding name like "White Reaper," he is really not enough to look at compared to the Hestia Familia next to him.

The Hestia Familia's group of golden titles are all stronger than him. It's hard to withstand.

Ouranos knows Bell's identity, so he has taken care of him to some extent, but the current situation is not what he expected.

Wang Xiaoming is too dazzling, so Ouranos has set his sights on Wang Xiaoming.

"The Guild wants me to go?"

Inside the Hestia Familia's hall, Wang Xiaoming looked curiously at the girl in front of him.

"Yes, the Guild's order is to invite Captain Wang Xiaoming to the Guild. They have very important matters to discuss with you."

Eina Tulle, the elf girl who originally had a good impression of Bell in the plot, and also a Guild staff member. She was also responsible for receiving Wang Xiaoming several times when he went to the Guild to exchange money, so he is also familiar with her.

And Wang Xiaoming probably understands what she said is about.

Combined with the fact that he was watched by Ouranos as soon as he returned to Orario, it is obvious that Ouranos is looking for him for something.

"I understand. I'll go with you."

"Mingjun? Why is the Guild looking for you?"

Hestia was very puzzled beside him and couldn't help but ask Wang Xiaoming curiously.

"I don't know either, but it should be related to the Dungeon. Hestia, you and everyone can wait for me at home. I'll be back soon."

"Okay, Mingjun, come back quickly. We'll wait for you at home."

"Thank you very much, please come with me."

Eina bowed to him happily when she saw Wang Xiaoming easily agreed.

"Let's go, I'll take you there. It will be faster."

While Eina was still bowing, Wang Xiaoming directly reached out and grabbed Eina's collar, lifting her up.

"Eh?"

Eina looked at Wang Xiaoming with a dumbfounded expression.

"Commander Wang Xiaoming?"

"I'll take you back, hurry up."

As he spoke, he picked up the bewildered Eina and walked out of the hall. Reaching the gate, he pushed off with both feet and took off directly, jumping onto the roof of the adjacent building. Then, he began running rapidly along the rooftops.

Although he could use Godspeed, the strength of the rooftops here couldn't support Wang Xiaoming's footwork, especially with Eina present. If Wang Xiaoming activated Godspeed himself, the friction of his armor against the air would make it red-hot and scalding. If Eina were to use Godspeed with him, she might not burn up, but her clothes definitely wouldn't withstand it and would be incinerated.

Therefore, Wang Xiaoming only ran as fast as he could normally, but it was still much faster than Eina walking on her own. In less than two minutes, they had swiftly reached the entrance of the Guild. Then, he jumped down from the rooftop, landing directly in front of the Guild's entrance.

"Huh?"

Eina was surprised at how quickly they had arrived at the Guild's entrance.

"Alright, hurry up and tell me where I need to go."

"Ah, please put me down."

Eina quickly requested, and Wang Xiaoming placed her back on the ground.

"Please follow me."

Eina took the lead and walked into the Guild, with Wang Xiaoming following behind her. They entered the Guild and proceeded into its depths.

Eina opened a door and stopped outside.

"Please go in. From here on, please enter alone."

Clearly, this was not a place she could enter.

Wang Xiaoming walked in alone, and Eina closed the door behind him and turned to leave.

Wang Xiaoming didn't pay attention to the door closing behind him. He continued walking inside, and as he walked, he began to descend continuously. It was a never-ending spiral staircase. Wang Xiaoming didn't know how long he walked, but it took quite a while to reach the bottom.

When he reached the bottom, Wang Xiaoming saw a huge underground hall. Red lights on the walls illuminated the area. It wasn't fire or lamps, but rather red magic stones that were providing the light.

"Please come in."

After Wang Xiaoming entered the hall, he heard an aged voice.

He couldn't see anyone, but he could hear the voice clearly and easily discern the direction it came from.

It was from the depths of the hall.

Wang Xiaoming walked along the hall towards the depths. After a long while, he finally reached the end.

On a huge, altar-like circular clearing, in the very center, was a throne made of piled-up rocks. An elderly man with white hair was sitting on the throne, looking down at Wang Xiaoming as he approached.

"A pleasure to meet you, hero from the Hestia Familia."

675. Meeting Ouranos

"A pleasure to meet you, hero of the Hestia Familia. I am Ouranos, the Sky God, and the founder of the Guild."

Ouranos sat on the rocky throne, looking at Wang Xiaoming without expression. Although he was expressionless, Wang Xiaoming could tell that he wasn't indifferent, but rather didn't want to express too much emotion.

This God-King's body looked very tall and sturdy. If he stood up and took off his clothes, he would definitely be a muscle-bound giant on the level of Yamamoto Genryusai!

"A pleasure to meet you, God Ouranos."

Wang Xiaoming greeted him normally, with politeness but not too much reverence. He didn't show awe because of Ouranos' status as a God-King and the founder of the Guild.

"You are different from the other adventurers I have met."

Ouranos looked down at Wang Xiaoming, observing his unyielding manner, and spoke softly.

"Indeed, I also think I am different from the other adventurers in this city."

Wang Xiaoming replied nonchalantly, which made Ouranos laugh.

"Indeed, although I haven't met many adventurers, the other adventurers wouldn't be so relaxed when facing a god, even the strongest adventurer in Orario can't do what you do."

"God Ouranos, I heard you wanted to see me about something. What is it?"

Wang Xiaoming didn't want to chat with Ouranos, so he prepared to get straight to the point.

"Yes, I have something I want to discuss with you."

Ouranos put away his smile and looked at Wang Xiaoming seriously.

"I have been following your actions for some time, those Xenos, thank you for them."

"The Xenos matter."

"That's right, I have been following the Xenos for a long time. They are children born from the Dungeon, but because they are children of the Dungeon, their identities are greatly restricted. They cannot be accepted by adventurers or by the Dungeon, and they even have magic stones in their bodies."

Ouranos had a hint of sadness on his face when he spoke of the Xenos.

"I don't know how to make them accepted by everyone, and I can't help them myself."

Ouranos had to suppress the Dungeon and could not act himself. Moreover, from the moment he established the Guild, he had decided not to participate in matters between Familias, which is why he had a detached status among the gods. He didn't interfere!

If he got involved, his detached status would change, and he would become a God-King who wanted to interfere, which the gods didn't want.

Especially since he had already established the Guild and hadn't established a Familia.

"But you are different. You directly announced their existence in public and also announced that you would protect them. Such courage is something I have never seen in other adventurers."

Because other adventurers didn't dare to announce such things, or rather, for other adventurers, announcing such things was completely useless!

Even within a Familia, there would be different voices, not to mention between different Familias. Orario had many Familias, spread across various industries. In this situation, one person's voice was useless, even if you were a top Familia in Orario.

The Loki Familia and the Freya Familia were considered top Familias in Orario, but even their words were ignored by some people, and some Familias even wanted to overthrow these two Familias.

Therefore, Wang Xiaoming's courage to say such things in front of so many Familias and gods was truly surprising to Ouranos.

"You dare to say what others don't dare to say, and you dare to do what others don't dare to do. You even put yourself in danger to protect those Xenos. Your righteousness is unprecedented among humans."

Ouranos said with praise.

"You are a hero born to save the Xenos!"

"No, I'm not a hero born to save the Xenos."

Wang Xiaoming quickly raised his hand in refusal.

"Oh? Why do you say that?"
