Chapter 397: Side Story- Ororo's Ascension (END) {EDITED}
[POV Reo]
I pressed the astral button in front of me and Ororo was surrounded by blue light. When the light finally faded, Ororo's level increased from three to four.
It has been a couple of days since we have left the 18th floor Rivira. 19th-24th was something completely new. It seemed like we were inside a giant tree. The ground, ceiling, and walls were made of wood while the floors were lit up by glowing moss.
Yes, definitely something new, these floors were filled with insect-type monsters, and most of them were poisonous even though poison was completely useless against the two of us. Ororo can only be hurt by magical attacks.
These floors were a treasure trove for Herbs and ingredients but since neither of us needed any healing potions or anything like that, we simply ignored it. The 24th floor was significantly larger than any of the floors we have been to.
While Ororo was busy slaying monsters, I went around collecting gems around the 24th floor. I wasn't going to sell these gems for money. I just wanted to make something for the girls in my free time and it was good that these gems came in various colors, it wasn't a big deal as I could always change their colors using my Reality Powers.
The two of us finally descended to the 25th floor and decided to enjoy ourselves for a few hours before descending to the 27th floor. To descend from the 25th floor you must navigate your way through the water pathways, floors 25th-27th were also known as the Water City and it is also known as the second line.
All the monsters we found on these floors were water-based monsters. We also found giant mosquitoes on these floors but Ororo didn't face much problem slaughtering these monsters. Her Magic was almost S ranked while the others were trailing behind.
The 28th-36th floors were a lot different than the other floors, the number and the strength of monsters had increased drastically and I knew that only Level 3 adventurers could continue descending.
Even though Ororo was still stuck on Level 2, she wasn't having any problem with these monsters as her base foundation was much stronger than anyone's base foundation in this world. She easily breezed through the floors. It took her a lot of time since the number of monsters have increased drastically.
The 37th floor was a pretty unique floor, we had already reached the deeper parts of the Dungeon. We entered the first wall and we started to make our way towards the Monster Rex Udaeus but we found the colosseum before we could find Udaeus.
Ororo had a lot of fun there as it was the perfect place to grind for someone like Ororo. I was continuously upgrading her stats as she kept killing the monsters. The Colosseum kept spawning monsters only for them to be slaughtered after a second.
After half an hour Ororo got bored because the monsters weren't strong enough for her so she decided to leave. What she failed to notice was that she was constantly getting stronger because I was updating her stats. She used her lightning powers to teleport right outside the Colosseum. We finally decided to leave and after another hour we finally located Udaeus…
The fight was quite long since Ororo wasn't using her stronger attacks like the Railgun or the other Area of Effect attacks. Slaying Udaeus gave a massive boost to Ororo's powers and all of her basic stats became SSS ranked and I decided to increase her level after descending to the 39th floor as it was a safety point.
(A/N: I didn't want to expand the Dungeon arc anymore into the Dungeon as it would get boring since there is only the one-eyed dragon that could pose any kind of threat to Ororo, the other monsters are completely useless against her).
Now, the two of us were on the 63rd floor, and finally, after facing so many monsters, Ororo was finally able to reach Level 4 and even if we finished this Dungeon, Ororo wasn't going to get another level.
"So, are we going to continue?" Ororo asked and I simply shook my head.
"No. It won't bear any fruit for you, this Dungeon only has 70 floors and we are currently on the 63rd floor. 7 floors more but to be honest, it would be boring and useless" I said while shaking my head and Ororo looked slightly dejected but she still nodded her head.
"So am I finally strong enough to handle Divinity?" Ororo asked expectantly and I simply grinned and nodded my head.
"Yes, I think it should be enough…" I said and with a wave of my hand, a portal appeared beside us. Ororo walked into the portal but all of a sudden I paused.
My eyes started glowing red and my whole body was surrounded by a red glow and I started to release unimaginable levels of power. The whole Universe started to shudder and soon my power surrounded the whole Danmachi Multiverse.
Everything around me started to crack and disintegrate due to the raw power I was releasing. All of a sudden the red glow surrounding my body faded and a huge grin appeared on my face.
I almost died due to those Orcs, now the whole Danmachi Multiverse will feel what I felt and pork would never be the same in the Danmachi Multiverse. Now, I wasn't petty so everything will return to normal after 5 years…
"Muahahahaha…!!" I cackled in mad glee like a Supervillain and after a minute I finally calmed down. Heh, enough! I shouldn't dally around any longer or Ororo might think that I am ignoring her. With that thought inside my mind, I stepped inside the portal and I appeared on a barren planet.
Ororo was looking around with a deep frown on her face. Some buildings were still on fire and not just any fire, green fire, the signature flames of Hela. "Hela did this, right?" Ororo asked me but someone else answered her question.
"Yes, it was me and Unohana. It took us approximately three days to exterminate everyone on this planet. I heard that you took Ororo somewhere for training. It has worked wonders for her" Hela said with a grin on her face. As soon as we arrived here, Hela had noticed us and teleported here. Ororo didn't know what to say but I pulled Hela into my arms and planted my lips on her.
"Mhmm… husband, I have been missing that. It has been almost a week since the two of you had left" Hela said when we finally separated.
"But why?" Ororo asked weakly, she was still having problems wrapping her head around the fact that Hela and Unohana had just killed everything on a planet and she could proudly admit that. The other girls knew about Hela's nature and hobbies but hearing and seeing are two different things.
"Hmm… they had found a way to escape their mortal coil using technology… Death wasn't happy. So, here I am…" Hela said with a shrug like it was an obvious fact.
It was an obvious fact for beings like us. I mean if a race found a way to escape their mortal coil then it was an obvious fact that Death would be displeased and they weren't doing that by gaining bloodline or becoming strong or something like that. They were doing it by butchering their own bodies.
There are vampires who are immortal. There are other various races around the Omniverse that are immortal, Death didn't go after them because it was their lineage, some even became immortals by gaining strength like the Cultivators or ascending to Godhood, Death spared them too because they weren't abandoning their souls.
But the beings of this World were becoming immortal by shedding off their souls and becoming robots. That was a big no no for Death. After some time Ororo finally understood what Hela meant.
"Hela, I think she is ready to achieve Godhood" I said and Hela nodded her head.
"Yes, I noticed. She is a lot stronger now. I think four times stronger than she was" Hela mused with an impressed look on her face.
Ororo blushed when she heard the compliments. "Let's change the scenery… you, follow me" Hela said and disappeared in a wisp of greenish-black smoke. Both Ororo and I appeared inside the Dark Dimension. The three of us were standing on a platform made of Darkness.
"Welcome to the Dark Dimension!" Hela exclaimed proudly. The place was kind of gloomy. No surprises there as it was the Dark Dimension.
"I see, you are trying to customize this place" I said in a dry tone while looking towards the dark skull aesthetics floating around everywhere. She was also trying to create a flying fortress or something like that but it was a work in progress. Ororo almost laughed out loud but Hela didn't seem to get my sarcastic remark and she took it as a literal compliment.
"It looks good… doesn't it?" Hela gushed out with an excited look on her face. "Come here Ororo, lay down here" Hela said, pointing towards an elevated platform made of literal darkness. Surprisingly the platform had a skull too. Ororo laid down on the platform with a nervous look on her face.
Hela pulled out a blue orb out of her shadow, small lightning bolts could be seen crackling around the orb. "Oh, this is going to hurt like a bitch" Hela said and Ororo's eyes grew wide.
"Wai…" That was all Ororo was able to say before Hela slammed the orb on Ororo's chest. Ororo's body arched up and she gritted her teeth in pain.
"That wasn't nice Hela…" I said while giving her the stink eye but I couldn't blame Hela. After all, she wasn't responsible for the pain as Ororo would have felt pain either way. I started to use my Mind Powers and Soul Powers to lower her pain.
Lightning bolts started to erupt from Ororo's body, the bolts landed on both Hela and me, but neither of us were bothered in the least by the lightning bolts. Her whole body was surrounded by lightning bolts and she finally landed in front of us and opened her eyes.
Her eyes narrowed on Hela and glared at her. "That was rude…" Ororo said and the lightning bolts disappeared, but Ororo didn't notice that her clothes were gone. Well, that was a good thing. Somehow her beauty seems to have increased even more… she looked stunningly beautiful right now. And that ass… I groaned as I turned hard.
"...Sorry, but I couldn't give up the chance. Here take this, consider this an apology" Hela said and handed Ororo the MjolnirI. A smile appeared on my face, Ororo kept watching the hammer with awe in her eyes.
"Thanks, I guess… and I wasn't mad at you" Ororo said softly in a cheerful tone but gawked when she found that Hela was somehow naked.
"Enough, now let's fuck. Husband… that must be uncomfortable. As a dutiful wife… I will take care of it" Hela said in a teasing tone while staring towards the tent on my pants. Hela got down on her knees and ripped off my pants. Ororo shrugged and grinned as she also got down on her knees beside Hela.
Right now, I had only one thought going through my mind. 'I am the luckiest bastard in this Omniverse…'
