Chapter 483: Is this what BFF bonds are? (Please subscribe!)

After watching Apollo’s clumsy performance with Izay, Artemis also lightly frowned her elegant brows.

“Hestia is about to be in trouble…”

Her voice carried a hint of worry.

Back in the heavens, Artemis and Hestia had a great relationship; it was only natural for a friend to feel concerned.

Though now, their interactions in the lower world seemed to have decreased significantly, but that was unavoidable.

One had found her beloved, the other her cherished Familial Group.

It was akin to both having settled down, making it impossible to interact as freely as they did back in the heavens.

However, that bond remained unchanged.

In the past, Artemis and Hestia, due to their personalities, had very few friends—probably countable on one hand—but those were all true soulmates.

The kind who wouldn’t stand idly by when one of them encountered difficulties.

Artemis was already contemplating how to help Hestia.

And consistent with her thoughts, the few deities present who had good relations with Hestia also felt Apollo’s actions were inappropriate, their minds beginning to work.

Beside the Goddess, Izay maintained an optimistic attitude regarding the matter: “Don’t worry, Lady Artemis. If we’re just talking about the highest combat strength within the Familial Groups, Apollo actually doesn’t have an advantage.”

Upon hearing this, Artemis immediately blinked, tilting her head slightly, seemingly surprised by the information he revealed: “You mean Hestia’s kid is strong!?”

“Judging purely by strength, she’s not bad even at Level 3. With her magic and weapon, there’s no guarantee she won’t defeat the ‘Child of Sunlight.'”

Izay whispered into Artemis’ ear, audible only to the two of them.

If her previous thoughts were filled with doubts, they were now replaced with confusion.

Did Izay just say Hestia’s child was at Level 3!?

But Hestia only found her Familial Group a few months ago, right?

According to what Artemis knew, it hadn’t even been three months!

To ascend two levels in such a short time!?

Apart from Izay, Artemis had never seen anyone like this!

Suddenly, the Goddess felt she might not need to worry about Hestia after all.

Just think of Izay as a cautionary tale.

When he reached Level 3, he successfully exterminated the ancient monster Scorpio.

Another case of rapid leveling up, though Beier might not achieve the same greatness as Izay, dealing with Apollo’s Familial Group should still be a piece of cake, right?

In this situation, do I really need to worry about my carefree bestie Hestia?

Artemis lowered her gaze, pondering silently…

“Izay, why does everyone look so serious?”

Eluko, who had been playing nearby, also put aside her playfulness and returned to Izay’s side.

For those with simple hearts, changes in atmosphere could be noticed quite easily.

Almost immediately after Apollo challenged Hestia, Eluko stopped fooling around with Cat and Xiao You, instead falling silent and focusing her attention on the center of the changing atmosphere.

“There are some bad guys trying to do bad things. That’s all you need to know, Eluko.” Izay picked her up and placed her on his lap, explaining.

Cat and Xiao You followed over, finding no space left on the bench, so they transformed into their original forms and leapt onto their big mama.

The two little ones didn’t restrict themselves to either human or original form.

They would choose whichever form suited the current situation for convenience.

Incidentally, as the younger sister among the two, Cat could be considered rather “pitiful” in a certain sense.

Despite possessing innate powerful talents, she couldn’t understand why her sister could copy her abilities and use them while she couldn’t reciprocate.

This was something that truly baffled Cat.

Even though the effectiveness and efficiency of her talent were drastically reduced when copied by Xiao You, and there were even time limits, the way her sister used it could only be described as “clumsy.”

Still, it was enough to annoy Cat!

How could someone have such a BUG-like talent!? (Referring to Analyze/Replicate)

Fortunately, from another perspective, Cat was a very easy-to-please younger sister.

As long as Xiao You shared more of her portion whenever Izay made golden shrimp balls, she could be easily appeased~

“Cat, haven’t you gained a bit of weight recently?”

Supporting the two little ones in her hands, Artemis felt the difference in weight between her left and right hands and said with a somewhat serious expression.

“Meow~?”

How could I possibly be fat?

Cat, who had been comfortably lying in Artemis’ arms, instantly raised her head, adopting a pose eerily similar to Ultraman Blue (foggy).

She was a star spirit; how could she get fat?

Even a juvenile star spirit probably wouldn’t gain weight…right?

For some reason, Cat suddenly recalled a story Izay once told her about some creatures that, despite appearing slender and graceful on the outside, could literally choke enemies to death with their sheer size.

Would she end up like that too!?

A trace of fear flickered across Cat’s little face.

Seeing this, Xiao You gleefully turned away, suppressing laughter.

Stupid sister, serves you right for always stealing my snacks!

“Ah, kitten, from now on, eat fewer sweets. Golden shrimp balls too. They’re fried and can make you gain weight.” Izay adopted a stern demeanor, rubbing Cat’s head seriously.

“Don’t worry, Cat. Even if you get fat, I won’t hate you. We’ll still be good friends!” Innocent Eluko swung her holy sword, delivering the final blow.

“Meow~”

This world is no longer worth it. Love will eventually fade…

Cat hung her head, emitting a despondent sound, then arched her back, a faint light flashing as she returned to Izay’s spirit realm to sulk.

The next moment, Izay finally couldn’t help but glance sideways.

—Smirking out of the corner of his eye~

A gentle smile also appeared on Artemis’ face.

Indeed, happiness comes from others’ suffering!

However, Artemis wasn’t lying; star spirits might not gain weight, but Cat was indeed heavier than Xiao You.

Once the laughter subsided, Artemis remembered the earlier topic.

“Oops… I got so caught up in the joy that I forgot about Hestia!”

Is this what BFF bonds are? (Laugh~)

“It’s fine, it’s already over.”

Izay looked together with her towards the center of the venue.

Perhaps Hestia wasn’t prepared, or perhaps she didn’t want a mere disagreement over a few words to escalate into a conflict with Apollo.

The moment Apollo proposed initiating a war game, she directly indicated her refusal, decisively dragging Beier away from the banquet.

The start and end of the incident happened faster than anyone expected, almost feeling anticlimactic.

Apollo didn’t stop Hestia from leaving, merely spouting off some standard villain lines.
