When Eiji returned to the main room of the party, none of the people there knew that he had slapped the Goddess of Beauty Ishtar physically and mentally.

He also didn’t bother to mention the incident in his inner voice. Apollo’s feast actually lasted all night, the invited gods and goddesses could stay there.

But, Eiji was too disgusted to sleep under the same roof as Apollo. Soon, he decided to go home.

Loki said goodbye first, she left with Ais and Riveria. As for him?

"Ladies, you seem to be too drunk. I can’t leave each of you home alone without my protection."

"Eh? Eiji-sama, I’m not too drunk..."

"Me too, I can actually..."

Before Asfi and Shakti finished speaking, Demeter interrupted them. "Ara, my head is a little dizzy. In order not to trouble you too much, Eiji... Why don’t you take us all to your familia’s house? It’s much closer than where each of us live."

"...!" Asfi, Shakti, Hephaestus and Hestia were surprised by Demeter’s suggestion.

Did that mean that tonight, they would be staying at Eiji’s place?

This...

They wanted to refuse because they were too embarrassed and thought it was rather inappropriate. But Eiji gave a thumbs up in his heart, he clearly knew Demeter was pretending and was actually doing a wingman operation for him!

He quickly said, "Good idea, Demeter. You can all stay at my familia’s house tonight. There are many empty bedrooms there. Let’s go."

He did not ask, but ordered the women to come with him.

Asfi and the others were unable to refuse, probably due to the influence of alcohol even though two of them were quite high level adventurers, they were not thinking clearly and got carried away as none of them refused.

"Then... W-We’ll trouble you, Eiji-sama."

Asfi wondered if she was really drunk?

She had only had a glass of wine earlier, but she somehow did not want to miss the opportunity to spend the night at the Seiya Familia house.

If she did, she would be left behind by the other women.

"It’s not troublesome at all." Eiji replied casually. On his right side, Demeter was hugging his arm with a ’drunk’ expression. On his left side, there was Hephaestus, who had her hand grasped by him.

Putting aside the Goddess of Smithing who looked a little shy like a woman brought home to her boyfriend’s house.

Hestia hesitantly said, "Um... Eiji, I’m afraid Bell-kun is looking for me..."

"I can tell him that you won’t be coming home tonight because you’re staying at my familia’s house, Hestia."

"Isn’t that inconvenient?"

"No, actually I’ve finished telling him now."

"How!?"

Not only Hestia, the other women were also curious about how he did it.

Eiji told them that he could contact his familia members remotely (actually, he just used the familia group chat). One of them, Scáthach had sent a message from him to Bell.

However, he did not tell the women about another message he had given Scáthach.

Hestia suddenly remembered about the group chat feature that Seiya Familia had. Now, she had no other reason to refuse to spend the night at Eiji’s place.

Just like the other women, she actually did not have much resistance, and even had a sense of anticipation in her heart.

She had heard Seiya Familia’s house was the most luxurious house in Orario, she was curious how luxurious it was.

If possible, Eiji also wanted to invite Ais, Riveria and even Loki.

[You’re too greedy, host. Are you planning on eating them all tonight?]

’Miss System, how can you think that way about your host?’

[Because you are the pinnacle among the beasts?]

’I’ll pretend that I didn’t hear what you said.’

Ignore what Miss System said.

He—Eiji Seiya—had pure intentions. Even so, ahem! If there was a chance, how could he refuse?

At the same time, the women who were walking home with him felt their buttocks chill a little.

Seeing that her king managed to get some beautiful women to spend the night in his residence, Leme laughed lewdly.

In front of the entrance of Hestia Familia’s house.

Bell had actually been told that his goddess would not be coming home tonight, and the reason made him feel a little uncomfortable.

He looked at the very beautiful woman in front of him nervously, he certainly hadn’t forgotten that she was one of the adventurers who had saved him a few days ago.

"Ano... thank you for coming all the way here to tell me about that."

"No problem, I was just doing the task given by Ei—I mean my god." Scáthach looked at the man in front of her indifferently and added. "I will leave now."

She still had other things to do.

"Wait!" Bell suddenly shouted.

Scáthach frowned and turned back to her, "What’s wrong?"

"Can I pick up my goddess? She has a bad sleeping habit. I’m worried she will trouble Eiji-sama."

Actually, it was just an excuse. After losing Syr, Bell panicked and felt that Hestia would get further away from him.

If Hestia really spent the night at the Seiya Familia house, even though he had a good impression of Eiji, especially after he made armor and gloves for him, which Hestia gave to him not long ago.

He could not calm down at all.

Scáthach was amused.

This protagonist seemed to be quite possessive, but he himself did not realize it. Unfortunately, there was no way she would let him interfere with Eiji’s love operation.

"You don’t need to worry, our familia house is large enough for Goddess Hestia to have a bed to herself."

The meaning was clear, she did not allow Bell to pick up his goddess.

Bell’s shoulders drooped, he couldn’t think of any more excuses so he could only hope that Hestia would be alright.

The next second, he saw that Scáthach had disappeared.

Her speed amazed him and he wondered when he could reach her level?

He wanted to become stronger quickly, not just to catch up to Ais so he could stand beside her, but also to give a better life to his goddess.

Bell clenched his fists while looking up at the moon shining in the sky. In that situation, his unique skill—Liaris Freese—should have fluctuated as it was affected by his determination.

But now, it was not reacting at all. What Bell didn’t know was that ever since Eiji severed the thread of destiny between him and Ais, then replaced it with a thread connecting him and Apollo. His unique skill, Liaris Freese, underwent a slight change.

When he checked his status in the future, not only him, Hestia would also be very surprised.

Eiji would also laugh at that time.

By the way, the direction Scáthach was heading in was not the direction to Seiya Familia’s house. He went in another direction.

At the Babylonian Belittle Palace, Ishtar Familia’s headquarters.

Ishtar had just returned to her familia’s headquarters with a completely broken face. Her left cheek was still swollen and red, but even more shattered was her pride. She threw the expensive jars in her room while screaming hysterically.

"Ahh! Ahh! Eiji, I’m killing you! I’ll kill you! How dare you humiliate me to this extent!"

"How dare you look down on me and think Freya is better than me! Hahahaha! You think I’m afraid of you just because of your threats?"

"Don’t underestimate me, bastard!"

Hearing this, the amazonesses and the rest of her familia were terrified. From the slap marks on their goddess’ face, they had a guess as to what Eiji had done to her.

No wonder Ishtar had gone mad.

And even though she was the Goddess of beauty, her expression now was terrifying.

Immediately, Ishtar glanced at the captain and vice-captain of her familia.

"PHRYNE! TAMMUZ! MOBILIZE EVERYONE!" She shouted in a hoarse voice. "I don’t care about that Level 8 or 9! Attack the Seiya Familia tonight! Bring Eiji’s head to me, and drag Haruhime here so I can tear her apart with my own hands!"

Hearing this, Aisha froze. She bit her lip. She wanted to refuse, but she knew she couldn’t do it.

Phryne grinned and showed a bloodthirsty expression on her face. "It’s my pleasure, Ishtar-sama. I will make sure that man named Eiji begs for mercy at my feet!"

It did not take long for her and Tammuz to prepare the troops.

However, when the main gate of the palace had just been opened for them to storm out, they suddenly stopped.

Why?

It was because a woman stood upright in the middle of the road, her back to the moonlight. She wore a tight, dark purple combat outfit and held a red spear that exuded an aura of death.

It was Scáthach, the Queen of the Shadow Lands. In this world, she was also known as the vice-captain of the Seiya Familia.

This was the first time Phryne and the other members of the Ishtar Familia had seen her. Their first reaction was confusion.

They didn’t recognize her.

"Who are you, bitch?! What are you doing here?!" Phryne asked with envy in her eyes as she looked at the woman in front of her.

She was very beautiful, more beautiful than the goddess, and that was why she wanted to tear her to pieces. Except for her goddess, she hated other women who were more beautiful than her.

Tammuz and the other male members were mesmerized by Scáthach’s appearance, many of them could not help but stare at her with lust in their eyes.

"I am the vice-captain of the Seiya Familia, Scáthach." Ignoring the dirty looks directed at her, Scáthach looked at Phryne indifferently. She also coldly said, "My god had already guessed what Ishtar would do after he humiliated her at the party. And sure enough, that woman was very foolish for thinking of taking revenge. That’s why I was sent here to make sure the Ishtar Familia will no longer exist after tonight."

"!!!" Every member of the Ishtar Familia and even Ishtar herself could hear what Scáthach was saying clearly.

Her voice seemed to contain magic, and it made the surrounding atmosphere eerie.

Although they were not sure how powerful Scáthach was, what she said was very...

"So arrogant! Bitch, you and your god are too arrogant!"

"You think you can defeat us all by yourself? Hehe! I’ve heard that your familia contains level 8 and 9, but I don’t believe that. I alone am more than enough to defeat you and destroy your pretty face!"

Phryne laughed mockingly and lunged forward. Her body was large, but her speed was above the level 5 average.

She quickly closed the distance between her and Scáthach, and swung her huge fist.

"Die, bitch!"

*BOOM—!*

In one move that was barely visible to everyone’s eyes, Scáthach attacked. Her Gáe Bolg Alternative spear pierced Phryne’s chest before her fist could touch it.

Phryne died instantly with widened eyes. After Scáthach withdrew her spear from her chest, her massive body fell forward.

Scáthach sidestepped to the side with disgust in her eyes. She then looked at the people in front of her coldly.

"All of you, come forward."

"....."

However, Tammuz and the rest of the Ishtar Familia were still stunned and hesitant to move.

How could they not?

A level 5 and the strongest among them, Phryne, died with just one move.

How big was the level difference between her and Scáthach!?

Looks like the rumor that the Seiya Familia contained level 8 and 9 was true!

Phryne died because she was too arrogant. As for them? Many of them wanted to escape, but would Scáthach let them?

Aisha swallowed.

She thought she would die here.

"Since none of you are willing to come forward, I will come to you myself."

As soon as the words fell.

Scáthach darted towards the crowd. The crowd panicked, they started swinging their weapons at her.

However, their opponent was too fast. Scáthach moved like a goddess of death among the Amazons. Every swing of her spear meant one life lost. The Ishtar Familia’s adventurer level was nothing in the face of the spear techniques she had honed to the point where she could kill gods.

"Ahhh! Monster! She’s a monster!"

"No, I don’t want to die!"

"I give up! I give up! Please let me go!"

Watching many of them fall, some of them screamed as they tried to flee the place.

However, Scáthach’s spear reached out to them and pierced their chests. The Ishtar Familia’s vice-captain, Tammuz, didn’t even know when his throat had been slashed and he died.

In no time, the palace courtyard was filled with the bodies of the familia members. Scáthach’s clothes were not dirty in the slightest, nor did she sweat after that many people.

Compared to exercising with her man, Eiji... Ahem, this is nothing. The blood of a member of the Ishtar Familia soiled the tip of her spear.

She swung to instantly clean up before looking at the only remaining member of the Ishtar Familia.

"C-Can you tell me if Haruhime is okay before you kill me?"

It was Aisha, unlike the others, she did not take the initiative to attack and just stood with a trembling body.

She knew that she would not be able to defeat the woman in front of her, she was resigned and ready to die. However, she wanted to know how Haruhime was doing after she was brought to Seiya Familia.

"Oh? You must be Aisha." The corners of Scáthach’s lips lifted slightly, she was no longer cold and frightening like the goddess of death who carried out the massacre before.

Aisha was surprised, "You know my name?"

"Yes, Haruhime once told me about you. She also knows the things you did to preserve her chastity. She’s fine and is grateful to you."

"I... I understand. You can kill me now."

Hearing what Scáthach said, Aisha was relieved and smiled wryly. She didn’t think just because she had been a little kind to Haruhime, she wouldn’t be killed like the other members of the Ishtar Familia.

However, Scáthach walked past her while saying, "Before coming here, Haruhime told me not to kill you. I did, you can leave here."

Aisha widened her eyes and turned around only to see Scáthach’s back entering the palace. She did not try to stop her even though she knew who she was looking for.

She sighed, "I’m sorry Ishtar-sama, I don’t want to waste the chance to live that Haruhime gave me."

She knew the Ishtar Familia had come to an end, and she after tonight, she would lose her power as a level 3.

However, she was not sad and was quite happy. She was thinking of leaving Orario. As for meeting Haruhime? Forget it.

That fox already had a better life, she didn’t want to disturb her.

...

Inside the palace.

Scáthach walked on the red carpet that connected to the throne room. There, she could see the woman who had upset her man.

"Hiik! Don’t come near! Don’t come near! I’m sorry, I’m sorry, okay? I promise I won’t try to take revenge on your god again!"

Ishtar was so scared that she let out a squeal like a pig, she thought all her familia members were more than enough to kill one of Eiji’s familia members.

However, what happened was just the opposite.

The woman in front of her... She was probably a level 8 or 9!

Such an existence really existed in the Seiya Familia.

Ishtar knelt in front of her throne, her arrogance vanished and she did not hesitate to humble herself in front of the humans.

"Hmm... You have regrets? But my god said he had given you your first and last chance before. And yet, what did you do? Ishtar..."

Scáthach stood right in front of Ishtar, she looked down at her with a faint smile that would make anyone shudder.

"W-Wait! I will give you anything! Valis, territory, men... please spare me once more! Please!" Goddess of Beauty Ishtar pleaded with tears streaming down her frightened face.

As the previously overbearing goddess of beauty, she even tried to hold onto one of Scáthach’s legs.

However—

*Bang!*

Scáthach kicked her in the face until she was thrown onto her throne violently.

"Aahhhhh! Bitch! You bitch! How dare you kick a goddess like me in the face!!! Are you crazy? I’ll kill you–no, I’ll make you my puppet and kill your god with your own hands!"

"Hahahaha! Scáthach, right? You must bow to this goddess now!"

Ishtar screamed in pain, she held her face which was now dripping with ichor, her bones were also broken by the kick. In her rage, she unleashed her charm with maximum intensity.

She could not believe Scáthach could resist her charms like Eiji.

Eiji was a special case.

Ishtar’s enchantment enveloped the entire room, the fragrant smell spreading through the air until whoever was there would lose the ability to think clearly.

Even so, Scáthach stood still with no sign of being affected on her face. She looked at Ishtar indifferently.

"H-How is that possible? You are not affected by my charm!?"

Ishtar almost fainted just knowing her charm was again not working.

She even began to doubt whether she was still a goddess of beauty.

That was natural.

After all, Scáthach was one of Eiji’s women. She did not have Avalon to block something like charms or brainwashing magic, but Eiji had long ago overcome such problems by adding various kinds of resistance to her through Master-Servant contracts.

All his women were immune to brainwashing or something like that.

"As I suspected, you’re not really sorry. You really are a bitch, Ishtar."

Without another word, Scáthach threw her spear right into Ishtar’s heart.

"NOOOOO—!"

Ishtar cried out in despair and fear at the sight. Intense pain spread from her chest that was pierced by the Gáe Bolg Alternative.

Immediately, an extremely bright divine light exploded from her body, forming a pillar of light that soared high into Orario’s night sky.

It was a sign that a god or goddess had been forced back to heaven.

Many gods and goddesses were shocked of course.

That night, the Ishtar Familia had perished completely!
