Chapter 973 973: Bringing beautiful women back to life
"Hahaha!" Dionysus burst out laughing, there was no fear on his face because he was a god. Death in the underworld definitely didn't mean actual death for him.
Although after he returned to heaven, he knew he would probably still receive other punishments, because of all the things he had done.
"Yes, you're right." Dionysus glanced at Eiji who still continued to watch, "Filvis was lucky to meet you and caught your attention successfully, Eiji. Before you let this beautiful elf kill me, could you tell me what your universe is like, and is there any possibility for a god like me to go there?"
He was interested in the universe where Eiji came from and wanted to go there. He began to remind Eiji of Rizevim.
Dionysus' question also made the gods and goddesses watching the livestream curious.
However, Eiji casually answered. "No way. You're too weak, even if you weren't sealing your divinity, you wouldn't be able to travel to another universe."
Dionysus' expression froze, and his expression looked ugly.
He knew Eiji wasn't lying, but he was really looking down on him. He felt uncomfortable and a little angry.
The other gods and goddesses were silent. Many of them couldn't help but laugh when they saw Dionysus' ugly expression, especially Loki.
"Eiji-sama, should I..." Ryuu wanted to ask if she could really kill Dionysus?
After all, for her and people born in the lower world, killing gods was taboo.
Eiji knew this, he suddenly appeared beside him, and stood right in front of Dionysus before saying, "Don't get your hands dirty, Ryuu. Dionysus is a god, it makes sense that it should be another god who kills him so that no one will protest."
The gods and goddesses who were watching felt that Eiji was satirizing them.
It must just be their feelings, right?
Hearing this, Ryuu lowered her sword. Instead, without waiting for Dionysus to say another word, Eiji grabbed his neck with one of his hands.
Under everyone's gaze, he activated one of Ghost Rider's abilities, Penance Stare.
"AAAAAGHHH!!! What–what are you doing to me, Eiji!?" Dionysus screamed in pain. He felt immense pain, not in his body, but in his divine soul directly.
Every pain he had ever inflicted on others throughout his life, was also felt by him.
Incredible fear appeared on his face, and for the first time in millions of years, he panicked greatly.
The gods and goddesses who were watching felt that something was wrong. It was true that all the things Dionysus had done were enough to earn him a death sentence.
However, they knew he didn't really die and just returned to Heaven. But Dionysus' reaction was too much, and made them wonder what Eiji had done to him!?
As if knowing what they were thinking, Eiji glanced right at the Divine Mirror and said, "I almost forgot, but all the things he has done... Enough to make me really want to kill him. I'm talking about real death."
"!!!" Many gods and goddesses gulped.
So, that was what Eiji was doing.
He was really going to kill Dionysus!
Dionysus wanted to beg, but the intense pain as if his soul was being burned kept him screaming.
"AHHHHH!! AHHHHHH!!!"
Soon, his eyes seemed to be burned by flames and instead of turning into pillars of divine light that shot into the sky, he dried up and turned into ashes.
Except for Medusa, Ryuu, and even the gods were terrified when they saw the scene.
Ouranos was speechless, he didn't even try to stop Eiji. The meaning was clear, he was allowing him to kill a god.
According to Loki, that was the scariest thing!
Even a Great God like Ouranos didn't seem to dare to stop Eiji. In the future, whoever gods and goddesses dared to provoke that man...
Loki was worried that their numbers would continue to dwindle. However, she was also happy that Dionysus was really dead, because he deserved it.
[All targets have been killed. All participants will be sent back to the lobby to count points! (>....<)]
Gantz sent a notification to each participant.
Immediately, under the confused gazes of many people, they including Eiji turned into particles of light, and disappeared.
Inside a creepy replica of the shrine from Solo Leveling—Asfi, Ryuu, members of the Seiya Familia, and other Hermes Familia Hermes Familia had appeared there.
Many of them suddenly remembered that they were playing a game. However, they knew everything that had happened was real.
They began to get excited and wondered how many points they were getting?
Everyone's gaze was fixed on Eiji. Even so, they also couldn't help but glance at the two beautiful women standing on either side of him.
Who were they?
The men in the group gulped, Filvis and Revis were too sexy. And was it just their feelings, or did the silver-haired elf have a similar face to Filvis?
"Ahem!" Eiji pretended to cough to gather everyone's attention, "Everyone, good job. You have successfully completed the mission. The gods and goddesses out there have also recognized your achievement in destroying Dionysus' plan, you will receive many benefits."
"But before that, you will benefit from Gantz first."
After he said that, Gantz immediately displayed a list of the participants' names along with the total points they had earned.
Seeing that, they all searched for their respective names but in the process, many of them could not help but be surprised by the top names displayed.
[1. Scáthach – 699 points]
[2. Artoria – 489 points]
[3. Medusa – 401 points]
[4. Morgan – 387 points]
[5. Asfi – 325 points]
[6. Ryuu – 196 points]
..
..
..
"Hiss! As expected of the Seiya Familia members. They are all too domineering! I only got 57 points."
"Especially Scáthach, she was the only one who killed the last two boss monsters, right? How many points did those two monsters give!? Even after killing many monsters with the others, I only got 51 points."
"I'm ranked 12th!"
"Captain, you're ranked 5th!"
"I think that's reasonable."
The members of the Hermes Familia exclaimed. Hearing what Lulune said, Asfi adjusted the position of her glasses. But anyone could see that her expression seemed excited.
How could she not be?
Eiji said to revive a dead person, they needed 100 points for one person.
With the points she had, she should be able to revive Lidith!
"196 points..." Ryuu muttered while clenching her fists, she was certainly happy that with that many points, she could revive one person. However, what about her other friends?
As Medusa said, she still had to ask Eiji for help personally! But for now, Ryuu was a little nervous about reviving one of her friends.
The one she wanted to revive first was...
"To exchange points, you can stand in front of Gantz one by one. Starting from the first rank to the last." Not Eiji who said that, but Filvis.
Some people asked who she was.
Eiji told them that the woman was Filvis. But now, she was a member of his familia, and his assistant. The same applied to Revis.
After knowing the identities of the two women, none of them dared to complain. Even if they knew Filvis was the former captain of the Dionysus Familia.
As for Revis who should have been their target before? They didn't say anything about her either.
[What do you want to use your points for? Our advanced weapons, reviving the dead, or...]
"Convert all those points to my status. I'm not interested in anything else." Scáthach said without hesitation.
The weapons of the Gantz did not interest her.
Reviving the dead did not occur to her either. After all, none of the people she knew, including her past apprentices, wanted her to bring them back to life.
[699 points randomly distributed to your status, Scáthach. Next! (>....<)]
Scáthach had the illusion that the black ball was driving her away.
Does it even have emotional intelligence?
Eiji's stuff was weird.
"I also want to convert all my points."
"Do the same for me."
"Convert my points."
Artoria, Medusa, and Morgan chose the same choice as Scáthach. For women like them, becoming stronger was clearly the best choice.
It was the same as getting double exp from the monsters they had killed earlier.
Many members of the Hermes Familia were also thinking of converting their points. But before that, it was Asfi's turn.
"I want to revive someone..."
What she said left Lulune and the other Hermes Familia members stunned. Actually, they had just found out that the reason Asfi was happily participating in the Gantz game was to revive someone!
But who was it?
Who would make their captain willingly exchange 100 points for that?
[Who do you want to revive, Asfi? (>....<)]
Asfi glanced at Eiji.
Eiji looked at the woman in confusion. He pretended not to know that she wanted to revive Lidith.
Asfi was touched, and still thought Eiji was deliberately using this complicated way to help her.
How could she not like him?
And fall in love with him?
She glanced back at Gantz, and mentioned a name familiar to members of the Hermes Familia.
"Lidith Caverna."
[Your 100 points have been deducted.]
[Start reviving "Lidith Caverna"! (>....<)]
In front of everyone's eyes, Gantz released a light that slowly formed a female figure, from head to toe.
The woman had long golden gray hair, braided and combed over her right shoulder. Her skin was fair, and she wore a white collared blouse paired with a thin tie.
In terms of appearance, her beauty could be said to be the equivalent of a goddess.
The process went on for five seconds, each member of the Hermes Familia widened their eyes.
Some of them had teary eyes, Asfi bit her lip and refrained from crying.
The woman—Lidith—slowly opened her eyes that were purple with golden yellow gradations. The first person she saw was Asfi, and several other Hermes Familia members who had fought alongside her in the past.
She was confused.
After all, she still remembered that she had died in order to let Asfi, and the others escape from the pursuing members of Evilus.
"Um... Asfi and everyone, hello? Don't tell me you guys died too? And this place... Is this the underworld?"
While Asfi and the other Hermes Familia members were still stunned, Eiji stepped closer to his future wife-I mean Lidith.
There was a very friendly smile on his face, which made Artoria and her familia members look at him flatly.
This man...!
He didn't keep quiet when he saw a new beautiful woman appear in front of him. He was no less excited than Asfi and the other Hermes Familia members.
"Hello, Lidith. You must be confused, and that's natural! But let me tell you, we are all living people and this is not the underworld. You are now in the waiting room made by my toy, Gantz."
Eiji stood beside Lidith, and said all that while pointing at Gantz behind them.
[Can you not call me a toy, owner? (>....<)]
Gantz complained, clearly it was an advanced technology comparable to alien technology.
Lidith of course glanced at the man beside her, and was surprised when she saw his face. He was more handsome than Hermes and other men she had seen.
"Etto... You said we are all living people. Does that include me?"
"Call me Eiji, I am a God. And yes, with the help of the abilities my toys have, and Asfi's hard work. She has brought you back to life."
Eiji briefly explained how Lidith was revived, and naturally placed his hand on her soft shoulder.
Lidith was dumbfounded, she barely reacted to Eiji's touch. She didn't even know he was taking advantage of her!
[FBI! FBI! FBI!]
'Miss System, what nonsense are you saying? There's not a single L*li here. Everyone is an adult!'
[There are no L*li, but there is a pervert here!]
'Who is it? Whoever it is, I will protect these women! Don't worry, Miss System.'
[You're shameless.]
Obviously a pervert Miss System was referring to was her own host.
Eiji pretended not to know.
Leme laughed, those two were good at jokes.
"Cough! Cough!" Asfi coughed a fake cough, she did it on purpose. Her gaze fell on Eiji's hand, which was shamelessly touching Lidith's shoulder.
She wasn't sure if that man was taking advantage of Lidith. But seeing them looking so close, she suddenly felt annoyed.
She was jealous...
She wouldn't admit it of course.
"Eiji-sama, thank you for giving Lidith an explanation."
"You're welcome, Asfi. Don't be so polite, what is our relationship?"
What is our relationship!? Asfi repeated what Eiji said in her heart, and blushed.
This man really liked to make others misunderstand with his words. Feeling the gazes of Lidith and the other Hermes Familia members, she was a little embarrassed.
She hurriedly glanced at Lidith before changing the subject, "As Eiji-sama said. Lidith-senpai, you have been revived."
"Oh my... Asfi, thank you very much." Lidith was touched by what Asfi had done for her, but she also wanted to tease her. "You look bigger and prettier now. Tsk, tsk, you already have a boyfriend too."
When she said that, she glanced at Asfi and Eiji in turn.
There was a hint of envy in her eyes. It was because she thought a god as handsome as Eiji was her junior's boyfriend.
Eiji gave a thumbs up in his heart.
[Lidith has good eyesight. She can see the chemistry between Asfi and I.]
[In her eyes, we look like lovers flirting with each other, and that's not wrong.]
That's wrong!
You're wrong, Eiji!
Asfi roared in her heart, but the blush on her cheeks had yet to fade.
[By the way, Lidith is more beautiful than I remember. From the original work, I also remember that she has never dated anyone.]
[I wonder if she's interested in becoming my future wife too? Like Asfi?]
"...!" If a gaze could hit someone, Asfi must have hit Eiji in the stomach because of what she was thinking.
Put her aside, because she has no refusal to be his wife.
But Eiji, you also want Lidith to be your wife?
You are so greedy and perverted!
Lidith had no idea she had become the target of a big wolf. But one thing was for sure, now she was busy having a reunion with Asfi, Lulune, and the other members of the Hermes Familia.
For the remaining points she had, Asfi chose to purchase the Y-Gun and get it permanently. She wanted to research how to make the weapon. She also converted her remaining points into her status.
Next was Ryuu's turn.
The green-haired elf stood in front of Gantz, with a feeling of nervousness and anticipation in her heart.
After seeing Asfi able to revive the former Hermes Familia captain, Lidith Caverna. She knew that the object in front of her was truly capable of bringing dead people back to life!
[What is your wish, Ryuu? (>....<)]
Like Shenron, a certain dragon.
Gantz asked her.
Ryuu replied, "I... I want to revive Alise Lovell."
Alise Lovell?
What adventurer in Orario has never heard of her? Hermes Familia members including Lidith even knew that she was the captain of the Astraea Familia!
Just like Lidith, she also died in the Dark Age because of Evilus. And as the captain of the Familia who upheld justice to the point of being a big thorn in Evilus' eyes, she was very famous until now.
Many of them wondered what Ryuu's relationship with Alise was? Why was she willing to trade 100 points to bring her back to life?
Ryuu's identity was still hidden to most Hermes Familia members. Among them, only Asfi knew she was a member of the Astraea Familia.
Lidith was also actually familiar with Ryuu's face, as she had fought alongside members of the Astraea Familia in the past.
[Your 100 points have been deducted.]
[Start reviving "Alise Lovell"! (>....<)]
Instantly, everyone's gaze was drawn to the tip of the light projected by Gantz.
The figure of a beautiful red-haired woman tied in a ponytail slowly appeared in front of them. When she opened her green eyes, she also looked confused.
However, she felt familiar with a green-haired elf who seemed about to cry in front of her.
Although her hair color was different and she seemed taller than she remembered before, Alise recognized her.
"Lion? You're a bit different. Why did you dye your blonde hair green?!"
That's the first thing you ask when you're revived?!
Many people's lips twitched.
"Waaahhh! Alise! You... You're really back!" Ryuu hugged the red-haired woman, and cried. Her previous cold image collapsed.
Alise smiled wryly, she returned the elf's hug and said, "I'm not sure what happened, but Lion... even though you seem more mature now, you're still a whiny elf."
"Waaaah!"
Ryuu cried harder.
The captain of the Astraea Familia looked helpless, she kept patting the green-haired elf on the back. She also began to feel very sad, as Ryuu seemed to have gone through a lot of hard things to be able to see her again.
However, Alise wondered why there were also Asfi, Lidith, and other members of the Hermes Familia in that place?
There was also a beautiful woman she didn't recognize, and a very handsome man.
The man seemed to want to walk over to her and Ryuu, but a woman with long white hair grabbed his ear, and held him in place.
"Eiji, don't bother those two women. Can't you read the atmosphere?"
"Morgan, you misunderstand. I'm just trying to be fair, and give Alise the same explanation."
"Hmph! Don't think I don't know you want to woo another woman in front of me!"
"Morgan, are you jealous? How cute."
"That's right, this Queen is jealous."
Morgan admitted that she was jealous, and did not let go of her husband's ear.
That foiled Eiji's plan to make her embarrassed like a tsundere, and let her go. Her reaction was not what he expected!
She glanced at Artoria, Medusa, and Scáthach as if to say: Ladies, do me a favor! Do the wingman operation!
However, all three women were silent. The last one even smiled amusedly.
'Miss System, I have been betrayed by my women!'
[You deserve it, host.]
'You... I know you're jealous too.'
[Hahaha! I'm jealous? Hahaha!]
Miss System burst out laughing.
Eiji's lips twitched.
What was wrong with this woman?
Has she finally gone crazy?
