Seeing the ravenous appearances of the deities in the room I had zero interest in catering to there desires, even though leading an army into the dungeon and power leveling them within a couple weeks sounds like a funny idea and so would seeing all the deity's reaction would be highly interesting.

Either way I had an escape plan for something similar to this happening even though it was meant to be used outside an enclosed room.

"Hestia Freya, close your eyes tightly." Seeing them doing so I took the little vial I fused and smashed it into the table in front of us and a blinding light filled the room making the gods shriek in surprise and as the blinding light continued to shine, I threw a camouflage cloak over us and started guiding us out.

Just before we made it out the door, I could hear Loki yell. "Jake tell us what cheat code you are using."

I couldn't help but answer as everyone was whirling around half blinded by the light. "Up, UP, Down, Down, Circle, Circle, Square." I yelled and gently closed the door as the captains of the Familia's looked for me, but we were already walking down the hallway at a brisk walk.

After we managed to exit the guild, I escorted the girls to the carriage we rode in and had us swiftly return to the church and the protection of the wards.

"So, with the dungeon closed what do you plan on doing till the deployment tomorrow?" Hestia asked as the whole Familia started discussing the meeting.

"Well, it's not like we could use the teleporting lantern with Ouranos paying such close attention to the dungeon. Would really suck to hit some barrier he made and be splattered across space." I deadpanned.

I basically repeated what she said as I could already see the idea crossing the minds of Lili and Bell so I had to cut off any dumb ideas that may sprout.

'Hmm well I guess we can still train and spare against one another.' I mused already bored. Ever since I came here unless I was fusing stuff, fucking or fighting, I haven't really found a hobby or something to chill with yet.

"So, what's something I can relax and do?" I asked looking for inspiration.

"You could try cooking or baking some kind of desert or something to eat." Hestia grinned at the thought of eat my fused food but honestly that just sounded like more work.

Bell suggested reading some of the story books we had around, and I honestly thought about doing it but then I was reminded about this world's bootleg English language and how it would drive me up the wall trying to slowly read the story and not misread stuff.

Finally, it was Haruhime who offered to let me brush her tail and then have my ears cleaned by her getting a lap pillow in the process that made me take a nap even with all the background noise of the main church room being full of talking people.

After waking up later on from my little nap I helped Bell cook some simple eggs and toast for a light dinner as we were all feeling the nerves of basically going to war in the morning and my own stomach was little fluttery at the coming grand battle against the Behemoth army as adventures of Orario are being spilt into three armies.

The first army which the Hestia Familia was part of was going to be fighting the approaching Behemoths while the other two armies of Orario were to cut off the armies approaching from the sides of the Behemoth hordes.

Thankfully there was no army directly following the horde, but then again lower-level adventurers wouldn't be able to survive let alone march through the poisoned trail those monsters were leaving.

Soon enough It was time for us all to go to sleep and I gave Bell a minor sleeping potion to calm his nerves and get to sleep and only Syr and Ryuu didnt join the large cuddle pile we made on the huge mattress downstairs, so I was finally able to fall asleep hearing the sounds of Aisha's snores, Haruhime's soft exhales, Hestia's sleep mumbling and so on.

'By this time tomorrow the history of the world will be shaped after this coming battle.' I couldn't help but think as Hestia shakily helped put on my armor.

I took her shaky hands into my own gauntlets and gently held her as I kissed her forehead. "Hestia, I swear that I will come back to you no matter what." I promised her.

"It's too soon for you to fight such battles, Jake!" She moaned laying her head against my chest plate.

Honestly, she was right as I have been literally speed running the dungeon and gaining pure strength and only catching back up on technique by being beat to hell by Ryuu but even my strength didnt promise my safety on such a huge battlefield.

I wordlessly just patted her head as I had nothing else, I could say so I just put my helmet on with my free hand and then mounted my charge blade over my back.

As I patted Bell's back, I just hoped he didnt have to fight Alfia face to face as I had no idea how it would go.
