Isekai Adventure in the Dimensional Cube

The Freyja Clan and the Loki Clan, hailed as the twin kings of Orario and known as the strongest factions in the world, possess distinctly different atmospheres and positions.

The Loki Clan is united under the leadership of its heads, working together as one, fighting side by side as a big family and group, valuing teamwork where no one is left behind.

However, the Freyja Clan is the complete opposite.

This clan does not emphasize unity or collective effort; instead, it places extreme importance on individual strength, with significant internal conflicts and rivalries.

This is because each member of the Freyja Clan has an unshakable desire.

That is to gain the favor of the Beauty Goddess Freya.

They are both warriors of the Freyja Clan and devotees of their main god.

Enchanted by the beauty of the goddess, they become her ardent followers, commonly found among the ranks of the Freyja Clan.

To have that great being gaze upon them, they desperately seek to showcase their worth and the brilliance of their souls.

To elevate that beautiful goddess upon the pinnacle of divinity, they spare no effort to grow stronger, intending to protect the supreme status of their main god.

In their eyes, Freya is a unique deity, one who ought to possess everything in the world and tread wherever she pleases as the daughter of the heavens.

Therefore, to become stronger and to attract the main god's attention and affection, they train and fight relentlessly, day and night, aiming to enhance their skills even slightly.

Thanks to this, the Freyja Clan's base, "The Battle Wilderness," constantly witnesses battles among its members, day and night.

These are excessively intense to be mock battles and too brutal to be mere training, akin to self-destructive ceremonies of war nations.

With no fixed opponents and sparing no effort, they conduct chaotic battles in "The Battle Wilderness," until the sun sets.

Through this method, almost every member of the Freyja Clan becomes a brave warrior, similar to the female warriors of war nations, fearlessly brave, rapidly growing strong.

This is the secret to why the city's strongest faction — the Freyja Clan — is so formidable.

Incredibly ruthless clan infighting.

Competition without regard for comrades' lives.

For the goddess's affection, they grow rapidly with a deadly conviction far exceeding that of other clan members, advancing to higher realms one after another.

Under such conditions, while each member of the Freyja Clan is a strong individual, none values unity and harmony, standing as solitary figures.

In their perspective, those outside the clan are enemies potentially threatening the goddess's position, while those within are rivals for the goddess's favor.

Thus, they do not unite or collaborate, but solely focus on showcasing their strength, striving independently to overcome every adversity.

One side emphasizes individual power.

The other relies on complementing each other through teamwork.

The biggest difference between the Freyja Clan and the Loki Clan lies here.

This also explains why Ota, Allen, and other leaders of the Freyja Clan carry out solo expeditions to acquire high-level experiences and achieve great accomplishments.

Unless ordered by the goddess, they absolutely won't cooperate, at most, brothers like the "Flame Gold Four Warriors" fight as one entity, considering themselves as a single unit in action.

Such individuals naturally see the captain of the "Brave" clan as their greatest competitor, always wanting to defeat or even annihilate him.

This is why Allen challenges Ota.

"In that cat person's view, Ota is probably the strongest adventurer he knows, right?"

And to achieve great merits, Allen unhesitatingly chooses to challenge this strongest adventurer.

If on the surface, at the clan's base, Allen simply cannot fulfill this desire.

While Freyja Clan infighting is significant, internal conflicts among first-level adventurers could destroy the clan, hence, Freya herself has prohibited it, forbidding first-level adventurer leaders from fighting on the surface or participating in day-and-night battles in "The Battle Wilderness."

Only in the underground city can they fearlessly challenge or even attack their fellow clan members nearby.

So, Allen challenged Ota.

The final success of this challenge was not disclosed by the other side.

But as a result, Allen successfully advanced to Lv.7.

While Ota chose to seek revenge against the floor boss, Balrog, on the 47th floor.

Already infinitely close to Lv.8, defeating a previously unbeatable strong opponent seemed to be the final push, allowing Ota to formally surpass the current limit and step into a new stage.

Of course, other things may have happened in between, as Ota embarked on a solo expedition to the 47th floor, and perhaps beyond, delving deep into the underground city, which might have accumulated considerable experience points, culminating in final success, right?

In any case, Ota has become Lv.8, and Allen has become Lv.7, with both the leader and vice-leader of the Freyja Clan successfully leveling up, this is an undeniable fact.

"Stimulated by this, perhaps the White Demon Staff, Black Demon Demon Sword, and Flame Gold Four Warriors will push themselves even harder."

Reiger mused thoughtfully.

Hedine Serland, Hegeni Ragna, and the Gulliver brothers and their group of six have remained at their current level for many years.

As long as they achieve notable feats, they will also, like the cadres of the Loki Familia and Ota and Allen, ascend to a new stage.

In other words, these six are also potentially ready to level up at any time.

"The Freyja Clan is still the Freyja Clan, it's not so easy to leave them behind."

Reiger reflected with some emotion.

Besides...

"Bell Crowney has also advanced to Lv.3..."

Reiger noted this piece of news.

A month later, this original protagonist once again leveled up at a bewilderingly rapid pace, and even in a shorter time than when he reached Lv.2.

This caused a sensation in Orario, if not for the thrilling news of Ota and Allen's level-ups suppressing the buzz, he might have been the hottest topic at the moment.

Though his leveling speed isn't as fast as Reiger's, compared to others, it is exceptionally superhuman, not to mention he reached Lv.3 faster than it took him to reach Lv.2, it's enough to make one's eyes pop out in surprise.

Even for Reiger, the time required to level up typically increases the further one progresses.

Yet Bell Crowney did the opposite; the time needed not only didn't get longer, it shortened, something even Reiger hadn't managed to do.

"Is it because of the conflict with the Apollo Clan?"

Reiger noted the reasoning behind Bell Crowney's level-up.

While the Loki Familia rushed around preparing for the second artificial labyrinth strategy war, the Hestia Familia and Apollo Familia reportedly had a conflict in the city.

The Apollo Familia, considered a moderately strong faction in the city.

Their faction level is D, with the leader at Lv.3, and several Lv.2 among the familia members, they are above average among all the city's familias, especially when compared to the rising Hestia Familia, they are quite strong.

They had previously defeated Goliath, the floor master on the 17th layer, a Lv.4 floor master, but it fell before the Apollo Clan's team.

However, this familia doesn't have a great reputation in the city; their patron god Apollo is a perverted individual interested in both genders, who would use all kinds of schemes to crush any familia whose member he fancies and force them into his faction, earning the disdain of many gods.

This time, he fancied Bell Crowney, hailed as the second Monster Newcomer, and didn't hesitate to attack the Hestia Familia in the city, even using cowardly means to slander them, sparking conflict.

Unfortunately, Apollo underestimated the Hestia Familia, or rather, he underestimated Bell Crowney.

As the only one in all of Orario besides Reiger who can break the ability limit, reaching the SS stage in ability parameters, and even advancing his favored abilities to the SSS stage, the Monster Newcomer Bell Crowney, after a month of training, had reached the limit of Lv.2 and even broke through this limit.

In a sense, he was just like Reiger, a "Limit Breaker."

Thus, the Apollo Clan suffered grievously.

Their sole Lv.3 was defeated in direct combat by Bell Crowney, who perhaps once again exceeded his ability limit, while the remaining members of the familia were taken down by the other members of the Hestia Familia.

Through this battle, Bell Crowney advanced to Lv.3, becoming a second-tier adventurer.

"Facing the original protagonist and not being killed off by the plot is already quite fortunate."

Reiger set down the newspaper in hand.

At this moment, he thought of another matter.

"Since Bell Crowney has already advanced to Lv.3, should that event be happening soon as well?"

Reiger lightly tapped his fingers on the table.

In the original series, not long after Bell Crowney advanced to Lv.3, he found himself inadvertently entangled with the Istar Clan on Fengyue Street because of matters with his familia's partners.

It was this event that led the Istar Clan to focus on Bell Crowney, and Bell Crowney in turn became entangled with them over his partners, ultimately leading to that foolish goddess in Istar making a move on someone she shouldn't have.

Then, she successfully angered a certain goddess who had her sights set on Bell Crowney.

"The Istar Clan..."

Remembering their previous actions in the artificial labyrinth, and their covert assistance to the Kary Clan, Reiger suddenly smiled.

"Then let's settle the score with you first, Istar."
