Chapter 1032 From the Depths of the Dungeon part 3
When Kisuke called Line out, Riveria hurriedly turned her head back to look for her and found her at the very back of everyone, 'I-I forgot about her!'
The restriction within her eyes eased up and she looked closely at Line, only to discover that she wasn't Human anymore with the presence of Demonic Power and a pair of Pawn Evil Pieces, "Since when?"
Line knew that her question was directed at her and answered, "F-Five years ago."
Kisuke, however, continued dragging Riveria while saying, "You'll be in charge of her protection later so you can ask your questions then."
As the wind blew, both of them disappeared from everyone's sight. A few seconds later, Finn and Gareth recovered and hurriedly turned to Line but she too, had disappeared. She escaped knowing that she'd be interrogated next, "...What the heck is wrong with these people?" Gareth inadvertently asked.

"Are you alright with not lifting the seal on your children?" Freya asked Loki who was sitting beside her.
Loki lifted her legs and placed them on the table in front of her while leaning back on her arms, "It's fine. It looks like it'll be better for them to figure things out on their own. And who knows? Maybe another one or two of them can break it on their own? He or she would be another irregular and that would be great."
Freya touched her chin and thought about it, "Maybe I should have opted for that too... In any case, the children won't have to do anything else aside from survive from here on out."
"Oh? You're thinking of the same thing? Then we might as well cooperate." Loki chuckled, "How about we escape this place and just hide somewhere until this is all over?"
Another one beside Freya also joined in, "Count me in. I don't really care what happens to me but I can't let my children be exposed to this unreasonable danger."
Freya turned her head to Hephaestus and asked, "You think they'll allow you? They are at least hoping to call down their Divine Weapons and you're one of the Deities who has the highest chance of making that happen."
Hephaestus sneered, "Divine Weapons? With their current bodies? Might as well just send them back up myself. Less effort and trouble." She then looked at the faintly glowing talisman in Freya's hand, "On a side note, that's a really convenient item. Give me one of those."
Right now, Hephaestus, Freya, and Loki are in the middle of all the Deities that are attending the emergency Denatus and being interrogated due to their close relationship with Kisuke's group, who had stopped the entity from surfacing. Sadly, even with their 'close' relationship, they don't really know much and they were sure that no one would listen to them anyways.
Without much choice, Freya whipped out the talisman that she received from Yoruichi some time ago to erect a physical barrier that also blocked the sound. So no matter how much the impatient Deities banged on and shouted at the invisible wall, the three of them could hear nothing, granting them some peace, "Couldn't you just use your charm to make them go away? Although it was funny at first, their angry faces are now annoying me."
Freya shrugged her shoulders, "As much as I want to, I can't. They're too emotional to be affected by the limited charm I have. By the way, where are the chief Gods? Shouldn't they be calming this crowd?"
"They're in a separate room and haven't come out ever since issuing a command to gather all the Deities they could." Loki answered while yawning, "They probably have a better idea of what's happening and are thinking of some countermeasures."
"The real question is if what they are cooking up coincides with what Hestia and Artemis' children are cooking up. It'd be a real mess if both sides want different things. And it doesn't really help that the two of them really don't want to attend this gathering." Hephaestus added.
At her words, Loki shuddered, "Why the heck would they attend this wolf-filled meeting? Even bones wouldn't be left behind. If that were to transpire, we'd have to worry about Kisuke killing all of us before that thing in the Dungeon could swallow the whole world."
"Oh~ and speak of the devil." Freya suddenly muttered while looking at the entrance to the hall.
Hephaestus and Loki also looked over and despite the barrier covering them, they still heard his annoyingly casual greeting, "Good day to the Deities of the Upper World. It looks like you're all having fun~! Care for me and my companion to join?"
A moment of silence descended on the already chaotic scene and Kisuke's appearance added fuel to the keg full of gunpowder. Freya looked at the talisman in her hand and deactivated it, 'This won't be needed.'
A few seconds later, the previous liveliness returned and more with some of the Deities jumping out of their seats and rushing toward the newcomers.
But before they could approach a dreadful aura suddenly stopped them in their tracks and made them freeze in fear that most of them haven't even felt before.
Their eyes that were stuck on Kisuke were stolen by the Elf releasing the aura of the True Longinus, whose true purpose is slaying Gods. Although Riveria could only copy the aura that it releases and not its actual ability, she thought it wasn't that big of a deal and only that it could be convenient to have something that could catch a being with Divinity off guard, even if only for a few seconds.
While that's true in the other world, that didn't translate very well in this world where Longinus-class weapons simply don't exist. Although Divine Weapons exist in the hands of each Deity, there's simply nothing like a weapon that directly spits on their Divinity and instantly vaporizes weaker Gods.
And Kisuke, who was well aware of this, 'forgot' to mention this important bit to Riveria, 'Such amusing expressions~! I should have made some rubber duckies that explode with this kind of aura to randomly toss at the annoying Gods.'
The Deities started backing away from the duo and even Loki, Hephaestus, and Freya who were watching from afar were clenching their fists tightly from nervousness, to the point that their nails had already started digging into their palms, making them bleed.
"That's a terrifying aura you're exuding, young lady." From the inner room, three old men emerged and Zeus with a difficult expression continued, "Let's talk this out instead of threatening each other."
