"I suppose you areirely wrong but there is no way I could ever not be ied in such wonderous falnas. Why your falna for example, so very many dark aspects, cursed energy, hell's fe, hell fire, blessing of bck, soul gaze, your race. If I didn't know aer I'd swear you were almost a true demon." the god said with a victorious grin.

  "o threaten me god, you have plenty of weaknesses I grasp as well. Your precious familia for example. It would only take me a mere moment , the lightest toud two words to disfigure them, transform them into moo be sughtered on sight. Such a tragedy it would be hmm?" I sent back causing his face to darken.

  Oh yes Hermes was a maniputive bastard without a doubt but he also definitely khat I wasn't merely bluffing at this point. One look at my status and the sort of harm I could cause if properly iivized was crystal clear. The best part is that it would be almost impossible to stop me if I truly followed through with this set of as unless he was willing to permaly leave Orario and he khis.-

  "Of course I believe it best if we try to py nice so you keep what you should to yourself and keep your maniputing hands away from us and we'll get along just fine." I added while a smile that didend to my eyes.

  He sighed "Fine fine, I know when to gracefully bow out and I am the o a disadvahis time. Perhaps however now that we've gotten that bit of unpleasantness out of the way we discuss future cooperation?" he said with a smile flipping the mood oy.

  "Gonna be ho here that's up to her, you want something made talk to her. ht I should add that teaming up in the dungeon is off the table since my fmes don't py well with others. Too much risk of getting my partners caught up as colteral damage when I go all out." I said with a casual shrug without getting thrown off by his sudden swit mood at all.

  "That is unfortuo hear but not a deal breaker if your creations live up to your falna. So Hestia, dearest Hestia how's about we have a chat about how we both make a vast amount of valis?" the god said with a wide smile.

  It was extremely amusing to watch my goddess go from basically sitting bad letting me handle everything to having to deal with an eager Hermes. I did have to warn him a few times when I saw his eyes wao pces they shouldn't during the versation but otherwise there wasn't anything weird about the versation. There was however a VERY annoying few days after this iigation that we had to deal with.-

  First and foremost was that we were the talk of the city for a few days before the gods got bored and turheir attention elsewhere. What that meant was a lot of attention from, jealous, ill meaning, fans or fame seeking people when we were in public. The jealous ones were all spite and no bite. The ill meaning oeo have sinful souls that I gratefully reaped for stats i and if they didn't teo vanish in the dungeon after following me in. I felt nothing when I killed these people nor when I left them crippled in front of moo get killed that ways sihat was a loophole in my skill.-

  The fans came in three fvors of increasingly annoying levels. The first was the amazons that wao mate with Bell and I for our talents. Mostly this involved a lot of sedu attempts to some even bluntly asking to fuck. Bell turned into a tomato more often than not in the face of these girls which was hirious to watch. I myself just rejected their advances casually since I didn't want to waste time like that.-

  The sed type was the newbies to Orario who all hoped to be the us and shoot to fame by leveling up at rocket speeds. These fans were unfortunately not likely to ever aplish that if my soul gaze was to be trusted. I saw very very few souls that shone quite as bright as Bells and mine did and acc to Syr/Freya that was how she knew how talented someone was. I should probably mention that I was taking lessons on how to best use my soul gaze from her as well and in the process that my own version was slightly different than hers.-

  For example I could see the sins of staining a soul but she instead could see the emotions of the soul when she looked at it instead but not the sins. Hers gave her a way to better manipute people and uand what they were thinking at any given time thanks to this difference while mine allowed me to more or less judge someone's past as and make predis on their future as as a result. It was fasating how simir yet different the same ability worked in two different people. Anyways the third type was the "appreype.

  Advehat sought Bell, Hestia or myself out to try and learn under us or join our familia for that reason. They were by far the most annoying to deal with as they had a problem taking "no" for an answer. You know the sort of people that think that if they learn from clearly talented or successful people that they themselves will bee talented, irritating buggers the lot of them. Finally came the fame seekers, advehat came to challenge Bell or myself to bat to prove try and use us as stepping stones by publicly defeating us.-

  More often then not we ended up just rejeg their challenge and the matter ehere but for the few who tried to insult us or even worse our familia to pressure us, we curb stomped them. The trick was that only those who just leveled up to level two or those at level one could use this method and good fug luck finding anyone else at that developmental stage as monstrous as us. Hell I ended up even putting mid level twos to the dirt with sheer physical stats alone much less beginner level twos like me(I didn't kill them btw).
