Chapter 825: A self-fulfilling prophecy; he truly became the "Demon King."
"Lady Hestia, I didn't go to meet anyone. I only met Miss Philweis in the dungeon today."
"You held her hand, and she followed you home with a shy, non-resisting look. Do you think I'd believe you?"
"Ah, Lady Hestia, I'm not shy at all."
"Tsk, the person isn't even married yet, and you're already protecting my Broly. When you say that, don't you take a look in the mirror and see how red your face is?"
"This is from the hot weather and being exposed to the sun—"
Seeing Philweis frantically trying to defend herself, Hestia's initially angry expression gradually turned into one of satisfaction, as if she were a mother-in-law looking favorably upon her daughter-in-law.
"Alright, you still won't let go of my child's hand. I believe the redness on your face is from the hot weather and sunburn."
Seeing Phil Weiss shrink behind the boy like a quail, Hestia stopped making things difficult for her, walked up to Broly, and patted the boy's solid chest.
"Broly, I'm telling you, so what if you've met someone new? Nobody's objecting. Why do you leave a message and go to the dungeon alone under the pretext of training and monster hunting?"
"Lady Hestia, I will explain this matter to you and everyone tonight. Now, may I take a shower? I haven't showered in the dungeon for days, and I'm a bit dirty."
"Go ahead. By the way, do you need any help? Or should Miss White Witch come in with you?"
"Ah, I—"
Phil Weiss was about to say something when Broly interrupted her.
"No need, I can wash it myself."
Broly took a rare solo bath, and when he came out with a towel drying his wet hair, the main hall of the Hearth House was already bustling with activity.
"Miss Philweis, if you're interested in Broly, there's no need to sneak in. We'd be happy to have you here at the Hearth House."
"Ah, I didn't—"
"So, you don't want to be Broly's unofficial wife?"
"No, that's not it either—"
"Huh, so what exactly do you mean?"
"What I mean is, I'm willing to be Mr. Broly's wife, but I didn't secretly meet with him. I only confessed to Mr. Broly in the dungeon today. Lefia can testify for me that I didn't go to the dungeon yesterday or the day before."
Philwiss looked to the elven girl for help, while Lefia stepped forward to confirm, "I can confirm that Miss Philwiss was in Orario for the past two days, but I'm not sure about the days before that."
"Ah, Lefia, you—"
"I'm telling the truth, Miss Phil Weiss, please don't be angry. Of course, we'll both be members of Crystal Palace from now on, so you probably won't be angry with me anymore."
Lefia smiled playfully at her. If you were to ask who would be most welcoming of the White Witch joining the Crystal Palace, it would probably be Lefia.
From the time they met until now, Lefia and Philweis have the best relationship; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call them best friends.
Now that the other person is also joining Broly's Crystal Palace, it means that the two of them will still spend a lot of time together in the future. There's no need to worry that one day Phil Weiss will fall in love with someone else and then be snatched away by some unknown person.
Besides this advantage, her relationship with Miss Phil Weiss might also develop in the same way as her relationship with Miss Aiss.
The people he met and his wives gathered in the hall, while the chief goddess and maidens of the Astrea Familia also came to watch the excitement.
Philweis was clearly the focus of attention before Broly arrived. Everyone who knew her treated the already embarrassed White Witch with a teasing attitude of "I never expected you to be like this, Miss Philweis."
Broly went over and helped the other person out of the predicament.
This proves that Phil Weiss wasn't with him a few days earlier either.
"If you're not going to meet Philweis, why don't you let us come along?"
Tiona raised a question.
"That's exactly what I wanted to talk about—"
Although there were still some missing family members and some extra outsiders, Broly still publicly revealed his promise to Fujimura Taiga.
"Lady Hestia, you are all so passionate, which makes me feel restless. I'm a little uncomfortable, and I'm afraid of accidentally breaking my promise to someone else. So, I had the idea of running away to the dungeon to take refuge. I'm sorry, please forgive me————"
Despite his renowned reputation among the Hestia Familia, the Demon King of Hestia showed no signs of strength, and knelt down in front of his many wives and casual acquaintances.
"So, Brother Broly, the reason you were unwilling to grow up at night with me and Lady Hestia before was because you had made a promise to grow up with someone else?"
"Yes."
"Then why didn't you tell us directly before?"
"Lily, didn't you tell me before that I should hide some things to make it easier to pursue someone?"
Lily Luca:
'
Has she shot herself in the foot?!
Of course, the one who felt most like a clown among those present was none other than the clown goddess, the elven princess of Loki's Familia.
The person Broly mentioned in the agreement is not dead; they are simply living in another world. Once Broly is able to return, he will be able to fulfill the agreement.
She mistakenly believed that the other person was dead and wanted to act as a substitute for him to help Broly fulfill the promise to exchange their purity.
Although Riveria has not had any deep conversations with Broly until now, they have certainly done other intimate things together.
The elven princess couldn't help but feel ashamed and indignant at the thought of how the Saiyan boy had wantonly manipulated her on the bed.
Riveria wanted nothing more than to grab Broly by the ear right now and scold him for not being clearer in the first place, which led to her misunderstanding.
"Broly————"
"Lord Hestia?"
"You should have told me about this sooner."
"sorry."
"Well, it's not too late to say it now."
"That----"
"Of course I choose to forgive you. You just wanted to keep your promise and fulfill your agreement with someone, didn't you?"
Hestia smiled at the boy and forgave his act of concealment very easily.
Seeing this, the others didn't blame Broly too much either. After all, as newcomers, they originally thought that the boy's purity had long been taken by Hestia or Lilyluka. Now that they knew it hadn't been lost, it was good news for them.
"Alright, since everything's alright, go to my room. I'll update your stats for you."
Hestia said with a smile.
"Yes."
Broly responded, got up from the ground, and went to the room of the chief god.
With no more excitement to watch, everyone else dispersed.
"Lord Hestia, what kind of wicked scheme are you plotting?"
Hestia was about to follow Broly, but Lilyluca, who knew her better, grabbed her and questioned her in a low voice.
"Erdene, what are you talking about? I don't understand."
"Stop pretending, Lady Hestia. I've known you for so long, how could I not see the wicked look on your face right now?"
Of course, even if you didn't say it, I could guess what you were thinking. You want to be the first to get rid of Broly's purity, don't you?!
"Alright, since you figured it out, I won't deny it. That's right, that's what I think. Broly's first time will definitely belong to me."
"Hmph, you goddess with a head full of lewd thoughts, don't even think about eating all that food by yourself!"
Broly was forgiven and happily went to Hestia's room, unaware that the little girl behind him was now arguing quietly with the Loli goddess.
Hand in hand, fingers intertwined, eyes locked, a fierce rivalry, while the other people who witnessed this scene, including the women in the outer seats, who were originally preparing to leave, silently sat back down.
Judging from their expressions, they were clearly interested in this. After all, they were all from Crystal Palace, and who didn't have the idea of getting Broly's first time?
"Seriously, aren't you afraid of forcing Mr. Broly back into the dungeon again by doing this?"
Phil Weiss couldn't help but speak up.
"Ha, so you, Miss White Witch, don't you want Broly's purity?"
"Ah, this, I—"
Phil Weiss stammered, though she would certainly like to if she could.
"However, what you said makes some sense, Lady Hestia. Are you perhaps trying to force Brother Broly back into the dungeon to hide?"
"I won't force him back; I'll make that kid do it willingly."
"How? Do you have any seductive skills?"
"I don't have those methods, but I can give him aphrodisiacs."
"Ah, you're despicable!"
"Shameless!"
"Dirty!"
As soon as Hestia uttered those words, she was met with condemnation from the others.
"Lord Hestia, Broly has an agreement with someone. How can you use such despicable means?"
""
"Then what do you suggest we do? Every one of us here has flirted with him at some point—"
Phil Weiss: I haven't even struck a pose yet —
"We've all driven that kid to the brink of madness, and he's hiding from us in the dungeon. Which of us has actually managed to grow alongside him? Without drugs, how are we supposed to take his virginity?"
Hestia said matter-of-factly, as if medication was the only right course of action.
"Aren't you afraid that Broly will hate you afterwards?"
"Oh, I believe that child won't hate me even afterward."
"Even so, why should you take the medicine and I can't?"
"Ha, I knew it! You all think the same way, right?"
Hestia surveyed the group, and the others either avoided her gaze or looked directly into it.
With the world still unsettled, everyone has the right to vie for control of the Central Plains.
The same principle applies to the Crystal Palace members in the DanMachi world.
"Alright, after I take my medication, we'll all be in the same room, and we'll see who Broly chooses!"
"I don't think so. People should keep their promises—"
"I agree with Ryu."
"Then I agree with Miss Ais."
I think either way is fine.
A group of girls each held their own opinions.
"What are you talking about, Lady Hestia? Are you alright?"
Just then, Broly returned. He had been waiting in Hestia's room for a long time but his god did not appear, so he came back to find him.
"It'll be ready soon. Go to your room and wait for me."
Hestia was startled, but when she turned around and saw that the boy didn't look angry, she quickly waved him away.
"Well then, people should keep their promises, but if any of us has the charm to make Broly willingly break his promise, that's a skill."
"No strange medicines are allowed."
"Need not."
"We need to keep each other in check."
"no problem."
The wives in the DanMachi world reached a consensus, but when Hestia went to her room, a group of people followed behind her.
"No, didn't I already say I didn't need the medication?"
"We are watching you."
"I haven't bought the medicine yet."
"That still needs to be monitored."
Hestia was speechless.
"Why are you all here?"
Inside the room, Broly looked curiously at the group of wives who walked in, wondering why so many people needed to watch him update his stats.
"We're just curious, Brother Broly, after spending some time training and fighting monsters alone in the dungeon, what level of strength have you reached now?"
Lily Luca made up a random excuse and brushed it off, and Broly didn't suspect anything.
"No, Lady Hestia, are you really going to let so many people watch you update Broly's stats?"
Riveria had been dragged along, and when she saw that Hestia really didn't intend to kick people out of the room, she couldn't help but ask a question.
"Everyone in the room is one of our own. They won't reveal Broly's ability values casually. If you want to see, go ahead. After all, you'd have to agree to leave!"
Hestia pronounced the following words very heavily.
A drop of divine blood fell on the boy's back, and Hestia began to update her stats. Ais curiously came closer to take a look.
"Ah~"
Soon, exclamations rang out.
"What's wrong?"
All the women in the room looked over at once.
"Broly has gained another skill."
"Having gained another skill, what's so strange about that?"
To avoid suspicion, Riveria hadn't gone up to look, but she did so at this moment.
But when she saw the sacred texts that appeared on Broly's back, she was also taken aback.
Having multiple skills is nothing special, but having multiple skills that turn someone into a monster is quite special.
Skill [Demon King]: You are a Demon King recognized by the world. You have protected the monsters that have left the dungeon. Your achievements have been recognized by the dungeon. You have received the dungeon's blessing. You have become the most special Lone King of the Labyrinth.
Skill Effect ①: Mark a magic node in the dungeon labyrinth. That place will become your Lone King's Palace. Once the Lone King dies, he will be reborn and resurrected by the dungeon. The resurrection time depends on the strength of the Lone King and the magic concentration of the selected magic node.
Skill Effect ②, Solitary King's Aura: You are naturally more noble than other monsters, and other monsters will not easily offend your majesty. You can command monsters that submit to you.
Skill Effect ③, Demon King Crystal Core: You possess the Lone King's magic stone. After absorbing enough energy, the Demon King Crystal Core will grow, granting you even greater power.
One skill, three effects, and Broly's stats have increased to 51s after the update. Despite wearing heavy armor and not killing more monsters than before in the Death Arena, his growth rate is abnormally high, completely exceeding expectations.
