Chapter 223 - The Birth of the Demonkin Race

The things Levi was currently doing were, in fact, not concealed.

Some deities and adventurers who were skilled in intelligence gathering, or perhaps just sensitive to the winds of change in Orario, had more or less noticed the shifts in the outside world.

Not to mention anything distant, many Familias that had previously been developing in other nations poured into Orario one after another in the following period.

For a time, the prices of various potions, equipment, and even agricultural products rose slightly.

The staff at the Guild were so busy every day that their feet barely touched the ground, falling asleep the moment their heads hit the pillow after work.

Reasonably speaking, having reached this stage, even if the Guild's higher-ups were unwilling, they should have come to communicate with Levi.

However, it was somewhat unexpected; let alone Royman, even Ouranos's personal guard, Fels, never appeared before him.

The Guild and Fels could be considered extensions of Ouranos's will.

Their reaction, to a certain extent, reflected the attitude of the Great God Ouranos.

Simply put, Levi himself had no intention of forcing a relationship with the other side.

In the following month, after completing the reinforcement of his own strength, he controlled his Spirit Clones to directly find the headquarters of the Xenos hidden within the Labyrinth.

And right off the bat, he gave them a proposal they simply could not refuse.

—Do you all want to become 'human'?

The [Human] in Levi's mouth was naturally not the human race of the Lower World in the narrow sense, but a collective term including Elves, Dwarves, Pallums, Beast People, and all other ordinary intelligent races.

As for the Xenos, after gaining intellect, in a certain aspect, they were actually no different from humans.

It was just that in terms of physiological structure, there were still huge differences.

According to the intelligence Levi obtained from the World Will, the Xenos were actually souls that died in the Labyrinth, accidentally missed by the Reincarnation System of Tenkai, and instead fused with the Dungeon to form new existences.

In other words, perhaps in their past lives, or in the incomparably distant past, they had also been humans.

This was also the reason why the Xenos, almost without exception, instinctively yearned for the surface.

That was an impulse rooted in their souls.

Now, after hearing the suggestion of the person before them, aside from a few who lacked foresight, almost all of them made the correct choice.

And as a newly advanced deity, Levi did not betray this trust.

He successively invested 12 Law Crystals into the Xenos, and in coordination with the 'Hōgyoku' and the incomplete version of the Life + Death Arcanum, he forcibly allowed the latter to blur the boundary between monster and human, just like the 'Arrancars' in the Bleach world. They subsequently reincarnated into a special race that possessed a human appearance yet simultaneously inherited the power of monsters.

Considering the origins of the Xenos, Levi gave these existences a new name—the Majin Race.

The birth of the Majin could not be considered a small matter for the entire Lower World, but compared to the goal of separating Heaven and Earth, it was still somewhat insignificant.

Fortunately, the data obtained during the process of reincarnating the Xenos into Majin, as well as reincarnating Hestia and the others into the Star Spirit God Race, gave Levi a deeper level of understanding regarding the newly acquired 'God-killing Power'.

At this moment, he had already deduced a method to bypass the gods and safely separate Heaven and Earth, and even help the World Will seize more void energy.

The only thing lacking right now was simply time...

For the next four months, Levi himself acted as a shut-in within the Familia.

Aside from conducting deductions and usage of his Arcanum, the rest of his time was almost entirely spent by the side of his lovers.

Oh, speaking of lovers.

Artemis, who had been 'reverse capturing' Levi for a long time, finally got her wish and tasted the meat she had been eyeing for so long.

The relationship between the two was indeed not good at the start; Levi disliked the Moon Goddess's brash personality, and the Moon Goddess was upset because Levi had targeted her during their first meeting.

Although it eased up later, if no accidents had occurred, the two would have at most become friends with a good relationship.

The true change happened in the second month after Levi began acting as a shut-in.

Perhaps having heard something from Zeus, or perhaps from Hera, the Goddess of Beauty Aphrodite, who had originally stayed in the Magical Great Nation, suddenly ran to Orario with her dependents.

Coupled with the fact that she had a complex relationship with Artemis back in Tenkai, and was herself Hephaestus's wife in name, she met with the latter's current lover, Levi.

"You are the newly born 'Ouranos'? You do look quite good indeed; no wonder Hestia and Hephaestus like you."

"I heard, you know. Freya and Ishtar both have intentions toward you. In other words, as long as I take you down, I will be the well-deserved strongest Goddess of Beauty!"

Goddesses of Beauty, well, they all have some problems with their personalities.

Freya desires 'Love', Ishtar is devoted to 'Lust', and Aphrodite is devoted to 'Beauty'.

The moment her voice fell, she unleashed a 'zero-frame startup' attack, firing a charm directly at Levi.

And then, there was no 'then'.

Although Levi was not yet a Great God, while in the Lower World, because he could use Divine Power recklessly, his combat power was actually stronger than deities like Ouranos and Zeus.

A charm merely driven by Mind could not even penetrate his passively boosted Abnormal Resistance.

On the contrary, Aphrodite was directly dumbfounded after discovering that Levi could be immune to her charm.

Had Hestia not advised against it for the sake of their friendship in Tenkai, she might have become the third Goddess of Beauty to be bound by the Chain of Heaven, following after Freya and Ishtar.

Even so, Aphrodite and the dependents under her command were listed as unwelcome subjects in the Hestia Familia territory and were swept out the door directly.

As mentioned before, because of Levi's arrival, the fate of the DanMachi world had already undergone earth-shattering changes.

The originally designated protagonist, Bell Cranel, became an ordinary adventurer with slightly more potential than others.

Consequently, the fates of many people who would have originally been saved by him also shifted.

In Aphrodite's Familia, there was a well-known songstress named Harmonia. She inherited the singing power of her ancestors but had closed off her heart due to experiences in her childhood.

Originally, just like those orthodox stories seen in his past life, Harmonia would have met Bell and untied the knot in her heart under the latter's encouragement.

But nowadays, everything was already different.

Bell, who had become a member of the Ganesha Familia Military Police, patrolled the streets every day. Conversely, Artemis, who had free time, became friends with Harmonia due to her ill-fated connection with Aphrodite.

And she encountered the latter's heart-knot—the soul of the 'Strong Dragon Cadmus'.

As a Martial God, Artemis's strength was naturally not weak. Now that she had also awakened her Constellation, theoretically, it was actually completely possible for her to slay Cadmus.

It was just that she needed to protect Harmonia at the time, coupled with the fact that physical attacks were ineffective against souls.

This caused her to fall into a bitter battle for a time.
