Abnormal Resistance.
This was the ability he had chosen. It might be plain, but it was useful, and frankly, whatever the abilities he chose, it didn't really matter since he could replicate them from anyone.
If he found something interesting, he could replicate their DNA, so it didn't matter, he thought.
If possible, he wanted to go to the era when Zeus Familia and Hera Familia were still ravaging this world, but unfortunately, he was too lazy to do so since playing with the time was a complicated matter.
While he could have gone to the past, if he had changed the future and not met Hestia, what would have happened?
If it was only a few minutes or so, it didn't matter, but if it was so many years in the distance, he felt that it might be better not to.
Yet, at the same time, he felt that as long as he didn't trouble the past, change it, and just return to get the DNAs of powerful individuals in the past, it should be okay.
Anyway, Aiz's parents had sent Aiz to the future to save her, so why couldn't he go to the past?
However, he could think of that later when he had finished all the problems first.
"So, what are you going to do with Ishtar's business?"
While they hadn't returned to Orario, they had to start to talk about what they had to do in the aftermath of their battle.
"Hmm..." Isao thought for a moment and said, "I remembered that Hermes and Asfi wanted to follow us."
"Oh?"
There was no waste of time, and when they made up their minds, Isao and Hestia brought Hermes and Asfi their plan for the war game and talked about the aftermath of their battle.
Whether it was Isao or Hestia, they didn't wish to touch the prostitution business and wanted to give it to someone or let them buy it, so the first person they thought was Hermes.
While Asfi was dumbfounded, Hermes nodded. "Sure, I don't mind."
"Hermes-sama!"
"It's fine, Asfi. It's fine." Hermes smiled and said, "Isn't this a good thing for us?"
"You just want to use that place to play around, right?!"
Yes, this deal was good for the Hermes Familia as they would gain a massive income from the Ishtar Familia business. Even if they had shared a big chunk of the profit with Isao and Hestia, it didn't really matter as they had decided to become his followers, and frankly, Hermes Familia wasn't strong enough to control the prostitute business of the Ishtar Familia.
Business was like this; after all, everyone needed backing, and they had to make a powerful circle to support each other.
Naturally, Isao and Hestia had such a circle with him as the core; he combined Hephaestus, Demeter, and Dian Cecht Familia into one, and with this, Hermes also joined.
Still, watching Asfi, who scolded Hermes, who just wanted to play around on Ishtar's business after Isao finished the War Game, he didn't intend to join and just let Hermes do as he pleased since he knew that even if Hermes was a bit lustful, this guy wasn't bad.
"But you are amazing since you want to fight the War Game against the Ishtar Familia right after you become a Level 5," Hermes said with amazement, thinking the lower world had always been exciting, and by Isao's side, it was even more amazing.
"Level 5..."
Asfi also felt conflicted since, before long, Isao's level had overtaken her. At the beginning of their meeting, he was just a Level 3, but now, he is a Level 5, one level above her. Yet, for many people, this one-level difference was attainable and couldn't be reached in their lives.
Even Fels, who was known as the legendary sage, could only reach a Level 4.
Yet, if those who were only Level 2 adventurers heard Asfi's lament, they would cry since a Level 4 wasn't something that they could achieve in their lives.
Still, when Isao reached Level 5, and when they thought about his power to defeat Antares previously, they knew that even if there were only three members within the Hestia Familia, it should be possible to defeat the Ishtar Familia.
"By the way, Isao-kun, do you know who Enyo is?" Hermes suddenly asked.
After all, this existence known as Enyo wanted to destroy Orario, so if possible, before Isao messed around and flipped over the Orario for his revenge, Hermes wanted to clear up Enyo and Evilus, who had been messing around in the Orario.
"Oh, it's Dionysus."
"Oh..." Hermes nodded, but then he was dumbfounded. "Huh?!"
"Huh?!" 2x
Not only Hermes but Hestia and Asfi were dumbfounded.
The one behind all the messes and destruction in the Orario, everything was caused by Dionysus!
"How did you find out?" Hermes didn't think Isao was lying. Even if Dionysus made trouble for Isao, if Isao wanted to destroy Dionysus Familia, it should be easy, after all.
Like how Apollo Familia bullied the small Familia, Isao could do the same with Dionysus Familia.
"You are surprised, right?"
"Yeah." Hermes nodded and said with a complicated expression. "He expressed his regrets and even cried when his Familia members died. Was all of that a lie?"
"That was a lie." Isao nodded and said, "The truth was he didn't care about his Familia members, and in his eyes, they were nothing but tools to achieve his ambitions. If he appeared sincere in front of you, it was because he was drunk."
"D-Drunk?!" 3x
Everyone was even more dumbfounded, but then Hermes and Hestia looked at each other strangely. Yet, as they came from the same region of heaven, they knew Dionysus well, and they knew how different Dionysus was when he was in heaven. They thought that Dionysus had changed, but in the end... this guy was the same.
"As for where I found this information, I had a good source of information."
Hermes smiled and asked, "Oh, did you seduce his woman or something?"
"..." Isao.
"..." Everyone.
Isao felt awkward by their silent gaze, so he quickly changed the topic of conversation, "Anyway, let's go back first."
Yet, even if he said those words, Hestia and Asfi kept staring at him with a painful gaze.
Nevertheless, after the Antares were killed, all of them decided to return.
"Should we walk?"
There were only three transportation dragons, and only six people could ride them. Naturally, it was impossible for all of them to ride on those, especially when Artemis and her Familia also decided to join them to go back to Orario, so they could only walk, but then, they would need a month to go back to Orario.
Frankly, Isao didn't mind talking for a month or so, especially when the members of the Artemis Familia wanted to get to know him and show how grateful they were for his help.
As he saw the enthusiasm on their beautiful faces and healthy, luscious bodies, how could he refuse?
Still, he also knew that he could accept their kindness later when he arrived at his home, so he decided to be patient.
"I have a new ability."
"....."
Hearing those words, everyone was speechless, but they also anticipated what kind of abilities he would show them.
Still, watching the black mist that appeared before them, they felt strange.
"Come in."
As Isao walked inside the black mist, many quickly followed him without hesitation, such as Hestia, Artemis, Ryuu, Cassandra, Daphne, Hermes, and even Asfi. The others hesitated, but in the end, they also joined.
Naturally, they were shocked when they saw their surroundings started to change, but they were even more dumbfounded when they saw their surroundings were nothing but burning ruin.
This place should be a beautiful place, but all of them were ruined, destroyed, and burnt, clearly showing the brutality and hatred that the perpetrators felt toward the owner of the house.
"Isao-kun..." Hestia's expression was that of rage, and Isao's expression also wasn't much different.
Why?
It was because the one that was destroyed was their mansion in Orario.
Yet, as they were filled with intense rage, they also felt confused.
What was happening?
However, before they understood everything, a loud and excited voice was heard from nearby.
"Ah, that's Goddess Hestia!"
"Kill her!"
"Oh, look at that. There are also her Familia members! We have hit the jackpot!"
"....."
Watching their excitement, those who had followed Isao to go back also felt confused.
What the heck was happening?!
