Multiverse Gacha

[93] Goibniu’s Purpose!



Inside the forging workshop, August and Goibniu looked at each other.

This god, who had little relevance in the original story, now made August hesitate.

Should he take this business?

Of course, he wanted to. It was Mithril, and not the lower-quality adamantite from the last time.

However, the danger level was exceedingly high.

The 37th floor boss, Udaeus, was an absolute monster comparable to Level 6.

In the original story, although Ais defeated him alone at Level 5, it was just for the sake of the plot.

Until now, there was no information about anyone defeating Udaeus, the Floor Boss, alone.

Many powerful Familias needed a coordinated team effort to subjugate Udaeus, and even then, there could be considerable casualties.

The most crucial point was, did the 37th-floor boss room really have Mithril ore?

Compared to other floors, the boss rooms were not as large as one might imagine.

"It's just an uncertain piece of information. God Goibniu, it's hard for me to believe you on this."

"Trust is mutual. I trust you, so I can provide you with the location of this Mithril ore in advance. What you decide afterward will be up to your conscience."

"Aren't you afraid I might go back on my word?"

"In the end, it's just information. I don't have the power to extract it. Without that capability, it has no value. But if I'm right, it's a win."

August had to admit that no god was a simple character.

Leaving aside everything else, having lived for millions of years, even a dog would become a god.

"I can't give you an answer to this matter. I need to check it out myself. If it's feasible, I'll come back to discuss it with you."

"Of course."

Saying so, Goibniu took out a map from a nearby drawer, clearly marking everything on the 37th floor, with the most prominent being the location of the Mithril ore, specially marked.

"By the way, this Mithril ore isn't abundant. It's likely to be limited."

This statement made August raise an eyebrow slightly. He knew that Goibniu intentionally said this.

Being a lone wolf could indeed earn more, but it could also result in losing more in the future.

As a renowned forging Familia in Orario, the Goibniu Familia had extensive connections. Most of the equipment for members of the Loki Familia, not to mention others, was custom-made here.

Although Goibniu said he was trusting August's conscience, was that really the case?

August, as a member of the Loki Familia, couldn't escape even if he wanted to. Most importantly, he was a god. It would be a big problem if a human deceived a god.

For gods, the most important thing was their dignity. While they could play around and jest casually, everything had a limit. Crossing that line would spell trouble.

If August truly seized the Mithril ore, it would undoubtedly become a thorn in the eyes of all gods in Orario.

In the eyes of gods, humans were nothing more than ants for amusement. Of course, there were gods who treated their Familia members as their own children.

However, for most gods, humans were just clowns for their entertainment.

Gods were gods, and humans were humans. They existed on two entirely different levels.

In Orario, divine authority was supreme, and the gods were everything. The power of humans, known as "falna," was granted by the gods.

Why was it called a falna? As the name suggests, it was the grace and favor bestowed upon humans by the gods.

"God Goibniu, if this Mithril ore is genuine, I will naturally come back to discuss with you. However, you should be prepared, your profits won't be very high."

"I understand."

It was not just about being in the 37th floor boss room. Crossing through the upper, middle, and lower layers of dungeon to delve into the deep layers was a significant undertaking itself.

Moreover, those who could enter the 37th floor were at least Level 3, and among them, only the outstanding ones could take on this challenge.

Otherwise, any random monster could potentially defeat them.

"You want to go to the 37th floor?"

"Exactly. Not only me, but you should also go. Your strength has increased a lot during this period. You should have noticed that your strength increase does not affect your falna status."

"I know. Before the expedition, I went to Loki to update my status. The increased ability values were limited."

"Now that your strength has already surpassed Level 5, in such a situation, you are more than capable of challenging Udaeus. Winning in battle will be a great achievement to help you level up to Level 6."

Hearing August's words, Ais was instantly excited. Although she was now with August, her determination to pursue strength had never diminished.

"But my sword..."

Ais looked at the slender sword in her hand. Although it was also a sharp weapon, it was much inferior to her Desperate Sword. It didn't even have the 'indestructible' property, and she needed to be careful when using it.

Most importantly, she needed some time to get used to this sword. For a warrior, a weapon was her second life.

"Don't worry. In Tsubaki's place, there's a sword with the 'indestructible' property."

August immediately smiled and said, taking out Tsubaki's precious item directly.

In his mind, even people were something he possessed, naturally, their belongings were his as well. Of course, the reverse was true too.

Tsubaki was unaware. If she knew, she would definitely use her forging hammer to crush August's head.

For the 37th floor, August was also quite eager. Having merged with the demon clan bloodline, he had undergone a transformation in strength.

This made August urgently want to try out his current strength and see how far he had come.

And combat was the best way to test it out.

The two didn't wander aimlessly, they left the Goibniu Familia directly.

"By the way, do you want to go see Tsubaki? Would you like to come along?"

"Sure."

August also smiled.

As a man who dreamed of establishing a big family, he wasn't skilled in pursuing women. Playing the time management master wasn't his forte, August couldn't handle it.

Of course, if there were any disturbances caused, it would indicate that August wasn't outstanding enough, not up to par.

In the current Orario, he already had two beatiful women. The first step was to let them meet.
