Is It Wrong to Become a Psycho in the Dungeon

Chapter 6

Humiliating Apollo

Bell was feeling pretty good right now, not only did he survive going against a black Goliath on the 18th floor of the dungeon, but he also unlocked his giant monster form, which he assumed would be the same as a human sized one as well, he also gained another great ranged attack. When he got back to the surface, Syr and Hestia both were waiting for him, with his goddess being a little off kilter hanging around with one of the complete opposites of herself, but both waiting for the same person for different reasons, Syr gave him a hug and a kiss, Hestia a hug. Then the three of them went to the church to rest and for his status to be updated, he had a feeling that the events of the battle had a more lasting impact on his stats than anyone knew, something that both Hestia and Syr both knew they couldn't tell anyone about, not a soul.

DEVELOPMENTAL ABILITY:
LUCK

There was no denying it by Hestia or Syr now, he was evil, a being completely opposite to being a hero, but most importantly, he was growing so fast that there was not a lot of time for others to catch up, everything about him was accelerating, even his own mind was growing more twisted. Yes it was more mature and could reason with the best of them, but it was also proving that it had no morals when it came to getting what he wanted, willing to throw a lot under the bus to succeed in life, including to using debts and feeling of guilt to bolster their own team.

Which was what he was doing right now with the Psycho and his party down in the middle floors, taking on a pack of Hellhounds now, with the addition to Mikoto as well, bringing their total party members right now to four, Bell was standing with Welf, Mikoto, and Lili as the monsters closed. Then he acted by firing off a wave of lightning for the hounds, killing quite a few, when one monster closed in behind him, he didn't have to blink when Welf came up and knocked the incoming fire blast away with his sword before swiftly killing the thing with a swipe of the weapon. Then came in Mikoto, who's sword skills alone were quite good and let her quickly and swiftly in flashes of motion kill three Hellhounds at once when they came for her, the last of the monsters were quickly taken out with a Bell's Psycho Silverizer blasting at each of them until all were gone.

They took a break while Lili worked at picking up the stones, "I figured we'd run into some trouble, good thing we had help," Welf commented as it was a much easier time to fight thanks to the extra hands, and since she was so fast, it helped out more with killing more monsters.

"Call on me anytime, I'm the one who asked to tag along in the first place, the least I could do was assist you," Mikoto commented as Lili was finishing up collecting the stones, they would let her rest too before they went back at it for a bit longer, still not quite used to the numbers.

"Agreed, we're really making some good time cruising through with an extra person on the team," the smith brought up, though Bell was sure that now there might be something waiting for us either further down or when they got back up top, he had a feeling that he really didn't like.

"Right, when it was just us three, I was worried that we wouldn't make it, it's good to have you around this time," Lili also commented as she came up to them, that feeling just got worse, he had a feeling that he wouldn't be in the dungeon that much over the next few days or weeks.

Mikoto stepped up, more than likely to apologize again, he stopped that right off the bat with a chop to the top of her head, "if you're about to apologize again, I'm docking your pay, and will continue to dock it the more you apologize, got it," Bell didn't have time for the guilt right now. After another minute or two, he straightened to signal to them that he's ready to move on ahead, "I'm gonna say this once, I have a feeling that we're not gonna be in the dungeon very often for the next few days, maybe even a week or two, just a feeling so we're gonna go as far as we can." They didn't complain, and even encouraged themselves to move on, they've come to trust in his feelings that something would happen more than others, so they made the most of this dive into the dungeon, knowing that they may not be entering it for a while, they did make a good haul.

That night they decided to drink at a bar different to the Hostess of Fertility, since tonight was going to be an extremely busy night, and they were practically thrown out by Mama Mia when they tried there since every time Bell goes there, him and Syr can't keep away from each other. So they went to a different bar, the Psycho didn't catch the name of it, him, Welf, and Lili all came here to drink and to celebrate surviving another day, "congratulations on your rank up, Welf," Bell told him with a grin, they were also celebrating Welf's level up to level 2, it was a long overdue.

"Thanks buddy," the smith thanked as they had a variety of foods to choose from as well, they ate some and drank some, Lili's non-alcoholic and Bell's the standard ale, wasn't as good as Mama Mia's but it was still good, the pub was nice and boisterous with revelry of returning adventurers.

"Level 2, huh, ya know, since you're one of the Hephaistos Familia's best blacksmiths… everything you make is going to be worth a lot more from now on," Lili mentioned, it was always nice to have extra ways to make money, especially if they wanted to take a break from dungeon diving.

"Well… I'm just relieved this means there's less of a chance I'll tarnish Hephaistos' good name, ya know," Welf commented before downing some more of his own ale so that he could get a good buzz going, this was a night for drinking and revelry, time for some fun and maybe a fight.

"Here's to many more nights like this, together and just getting back from almost getting killed, cheers," Bell stated as he held up his mug, they all clinked their cups together before taking another drink, "this is going to be a long partnership, better get to drinking while we can."

They drank and ate some more, though there was one thing at the edge of his vision that Bell was able to keep an eye on, it was a group across from them, all were eyeing his group like pieces of meat, there looked to be five in total, "hey master Bell, have you gotten closer to ranking up?"

Lili's question put his attention off of them, "very close actually, my ability level rose very high after we got back from the 18th floor, I've almost reached a place I can go to level 3 even," the Psycho couldn't help but to boast a bit about his status, it was all thanks to his skills though.

"Are you kidding me, I finally caught up to you, and you're already almost a level 3, that's just not fair," Welf commented and out of the corner of Bell's eye, he saw the shortest of those staring at his group, a Prum by the looks of it, stepped off his chair and began to walk towards them.

"What's all this talk about a level 3," oh great, the Prum was also arrogant and full of himself, great, "I don't give a fat squat how fast you say you've gotten that high, the fact of the matter is, you're nothing but a big damn liar," this is just going to turn into a big issue for them now. "You're a scared little bunny boy, running away from monsters and using your friends to rank up, and now you've piggy-backed your way to almost level 3, if I were that pathetic, I'd be too embarrassed to show my face in public," the boy gave a mocking laugh at the insults he gave.

"Hey, you guys here something, some small dog seems to be barking and yapping, I think it's from that one guy, who is he again," Bell put on a show of trying to remember the gods name, who's symbol was on all of the clothing that the aggressors are wearing, "oh yeah, cuckapollo."

That seemed to piss all five of them off, but only three of them got up to defend their god, the last one tried his best to keep his composure, which was clearly slipping, given the scowl that was on his face, the other guys from the Apollo Familia were ready to trade blows with them though. "oh look, these must be his absent-minded, misfit buddies, a blacksmith who can't sell his crap, and a pint-sized supporter brat," I guess they're a fitting bunch for the 'phony rookie," the boy continued to see if he could instigate them into attacking first, too bad they weren't dumb.

"Compared to trash Familias like yours who just target whatever your god tells you to without a thought for yourselves, I'd take a group of misfits any day," Bell raised his cup in toast, and Welf and Lili clinked theirs with his before they all took some drinks, "more fun to drink with them."

"Of course he would pal around with the rejects, I mean, what else would you expect form a weakling and a puny familia, what a sad freaking joke," the boy came around to stand beside Bel, "they obviously have no dignity… just look at their leader," okay, this boy really need to leave. "A no-name goddess who's only redeeming quality is her giant floppy boobs," a glare was sent the boy's way, "you mad, oh whatever, you're only mad because you know it's true, come on, just admit it, it must be humiliating having to serve that bimbo runt of a goddess."

Bell stood up, his good mood turning into a great one with a huge grin on his face, "you don't mind I teach this guy a lesson, right guys," his party didn't say anything and waved for him to do what he was going to do, they'd have his back if it came down to it, and it most likely will. The Psycho turned to the Prum, "you've been running your mouth, so I'm gonna take you home, or try to at least, haven't perfected this yet," in a blink of the eye, Bell stood before the boy and put his hand on the guy's shoulder and activated his teleportation on the freaked out guy. Reality itself distorted and they appeared to be rippling like a disrupted body of water before they were gone, they appeared on top of Babel tower, the air itself being too cold for many others, "here, spot your home and go there," the Psycho left and reappeared in the pub the same way.

"Where'd you take the little shit," Welf asked Bell once he returned without the boy, they didn't really know where Apollo Familia lived, so there wasn't many places they could take the kid, and they knew that right now not even Bell was crazy enough to kill the kid outright.

"On top of Babel tower, I sure hope he can get down and isn't blocked by anyone thinking he's trespassing," Bell grinned viciously, knowing that Freya would deal with the kid as if she was catching him spying on her to get a peak, either that or her Familia would kill the brat outright.

That was when the other three charged at him, Welf and Lili didn't bother with getting up, knowing that the Psycho could handle something like this easily, and he did from the moment the first guy threw a punch, it was easily redirected away before an elbow was sent out in return. The elbow landed with the guy's nose, a black haired skinny guy, who soon doubled over in pain when Bell hit him with a heel kick and used it to backflip and slam his foot into the guy that went around to behind them, a bushy dirty blonde haired guy, who was easily dealt with. Next came a brown haired guy who tried to send out a kick, it was grabbed easily and with a flex of quick thinking, Bell brought the leg up to force the guy into the splits before slamming both hands down onto the leg, it was roughly broken before a quick chokeslam ended the guy.

"Well, that was a bit disappointing," Bell commented as the three were all on the ground and not a one looked like they wanted to get back up, "time for more drinks and food," he started to head for his table until he stopped and turned around, "do tell Apollo to talk to me directly next time." The Psycho didn't even think twice before going back to his table, the only one able to take him on was Hyacinth, the only other guy left of the five guys that came to antagonize him, and the captain of the Apollo Familia, at the moment he was level 3, and right now Bell couldn't win.

Said captain stood up and approached their table, "don't tell me that Psycho Silver, Enemy to the Gods only fights those weaker than him, and I was just wanting some fun too, the punishment for hurting my friends is severe, accept the consequences of your poorly chosen actions," he stated.

"I don't accept shit from little shits that ran their mouth, they charged first so they got what they got, deal with it, right, Bete," Bell called out to the werewolf that was watching from the bar, the much higher level adventurer seemed to glare at the two as if they were annoying him greatly.

Hyacinth seemed to consider the situation at the moment, the Psycho was bringing in another person much stronger than himself, one that was known for his brutal fighting at that, so the man chose to do the wise thing, "I'm afraid I've lost interest, we're leaving," he called to his men. They all groaned as they were forced up by their leader, knowing that they couldn't disobey him, one guy looked to be crawling away, a little zap of lightning had the guy hurry up and scurry off, not wanting to be anywhere close to the pub for a little bit.

"Now, let's drink some more, and eat, I'm starving," Bell told his party, they all agreed and began to have fun again, the earlier fighting already being left in the past, mainly cause this was all inevitable, as soon as the Psycho started making waves this was bound to happen in time.

Next Day

Bell and Eina was coming out of a private room, making sure they were all up to date on what was happening and what to expect in the dungeon was part of Bell's duties as a captain, "so are you heading for the 13th floor then," Eina asked while holding her books close to her chest.

"Most likely, we're just stay there and gradually move down as we get more use to the influx of monsters," Bell informed her, the overall plan was simple and easy, if a bit basic, but that basicness was the beauty of everything, easy going and easy to manage was what is best.

"Very well, you do your best out there," Eina waved at him as she walked off, leaving him behind to find his way back on his own, which wasn't going to be difficult since his mind remembered just about everything now, so he turned to begin to make his way back to the front and out of there.

"You're Bell Cranel, correct," the voice of a woman asked, Bell looked up and saw two women standing there, one in white with red hair, and one in black with blue hair, he nodded, the one in white handed him a white letter, "here, pass this along to your goddess then," he took it. It was a letter from the Apollo Familia, or just Apollo himself, with a quick scan with his eyes, it was a dinner invitation, "I'm Daphne and this is Cassandra," the woman in white, Daphne, introduced herself and her companion, "as you can probably assume, we're from the Apollo Familia."

Of course he could both assume and deduce that easily, "and that…. Is a formal invitation from master Apollo himself, not that… we actually care whether you come to the banquet or not," Cassandra mentioned to him, what a strange girl to just go ahead and tell him that, he'd attend.

Daphne hit her companion before turning, "we've done our job, let's go," Cassandra turned to leave as well, they were quite a ways away before the white one stopped to turn back to look at him, "you have my sympathies," aw, so that's what this was, he's gonna make a move for him.

When he got home he handed the invitation to his goddess, "hm, well it isn't that just a friggin' coincidence that they decided to invite us now of all times… man, I had a feeling they weren't going to just let it go," of course she was talking about the pub brawl that he had last night.

"So, how formal are we talkin' about, cause I can do semi-formal, black tie, show up in full armor, what are we talkin' about here," Bell asked his goddess, knowing that he was invited too and willing to bet they were going to have a grand time, he'd even get to humiliate some gods there.

"More black tie, and it looks like things are going to be a lot more interesting this time around… Apollo and I didn't exactly get along back in heaven either," Hestia mentioned before jumping up, "anyway, I've got a plan, we'll enlist Miach and Take, then we can all go together, that'll help us."

"Not that we need it, if push comes to shove, I'll just have to step in and put on a little show," by the look on her face, that is exactly not what Hestia wants, but where the Psycho is concerned, they can't really control him and she knew that, only thing was how many were gonna hate them.

So when the night of the banquet came around, everyone arrived in a carriage, with dresses and suits that fit the occasion, all gods and goddesses and their captains or chosen escorts came dressed to the nines, with Bell himself in an all-black three piece suit tailor made for him. Hestia was walking in on his arm, a dark blue off the shoulder gown that highlighted her chest and small feminine stature, they were showing off a bit thanks to their increase in money thanks to the middle floors, "oh Apollo, you're a real cunning devil making us bring one of our children along."

Hestia's comment didn't go unnoticed by the Psycho, who just chuckled as they entered the building, Miach and his chosen escort, Naaza who wore a deep red one sleeved dress, came in behind them, all of them looked great as well, and they could tell why everyone was dressed. The hall was filled with the shining white of polished marble, smooth and easy to walk on floors, the food on the tables looked like it belonged in heaven, and every single god and goddess, along with their escorts, looked dressed in their best gowns and suits that spoke of wealth and beauty.

That was when the atmosphere got dark and depressing because of the aura that Bell just put out when a certain god came up to them, "oh hey, Hestia and Miach, how wonderful, you brought Bell and Naaza with you," Hermes called out as he approached with Take, Mikoto, and Asfi in tow.

"I see that you're as obnoxious and loud as ever Hermes," Hestia commented and tried to shake off the feeling of rage and annoyance that the Psycho was unleashing as he glared at the god, "though I'm surprised to see you and Take together," trying to throw attention away.

"To be honest," Take started to say with a look of disgust at Hermes, who didn't look fazed, "I'd rather be pretty much anywhere else," which was accentuated when he stepped away from the god and over to with Miach and Hestia, of course when he moved, so did Mikoto as well.

"Now, that's not very nice, Takemikazuchi, we worked together during the mission to rescue Bell and his party, come on, I thought we were better friends than that," the god clearly didn't read the room very well, "oh my, Mikoto looks just lovely this evening," he complimented the girl. "You two are also certainly dressed to impress," there was nothing that Bell wanted to do at this moment then to dismember this god right now, "but may I advert your eyes to this feast," he called and motioned to Asfi, "my dear Asfi cleans up nicely, doesn't she?"

"That's it, your voice is grading on my last nerve," Bell was just about to step forward when he sensed eyes on him, not friendly eyes either, the eyes of someone that he was going to grow to despise even worse than Hermes, cause when he turned, he saw a red haired god on the stairs.

"Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for joining me today," Apollo himself came forward for everyone to see, in a white suit red cape hugging to his shoulders, and soon Daphne, Cassandra, and Hyacinth came up from behind him, oh great, he was about to give a big speech now. "I want to make this even more interesting and shake things up a little, I hope everything is to your liking, the act of dressing up our precious children and showing them off at our banquet is such an indulgent treat, is it not," his statement got cheers from other gods in the room. "It fills me with great joy, to see my brethren and their children, quite a splendid night, indeed, you know, I feel I will make many new friends this evening, I consider myself truly blessed," Bell swears the guy looked right at him, "come now, the night is young, please enjoy yourselves!" The night marched on, with Apollo going around and staying to converse with every god that approached him, all while Bell kept a watchful eye on him and those that were around them, and making sure that he was wherever Hermes was not, even when the god walked up to him.

It wasn't until something great happened that Bell took his eyes from the other gods, the crowd was in awe as in came his girl, the goddess Freya, dressed in a beautiful violet gown that came up and wrapped snugly around her ample breasts, purple cloth wrapped around the right shoulder. She was hanging off the arm of her Familia captain, Ottar, who was wearing white pants, purple vest, and a blue overcoat that pulled the suite together, his stoic look just adding to the intimidating aura that he possessed, his size enhancing it further thanks to how large he was.

It wasn't long before she spotted them and with full confidence, let go of her captain and approached bell with long and elegant strides, Ottar following closely behind like a loyal guard, "well if it isn't Hestia, it's been a bit, Miach, Takemikazuchi, I hope you've all been well."

The two gods were blushing from being addressed by her, but Hestia ignored them as she spoke to Freya, "oh, go ahead and talk and dance or have a small date with him, I know you don't wanna talk with us," she casually mentioned and said what was on the goddess's mind.

"Oh," Freya looked almost sad for a moment, "but Hestia, I meant what I said that day while waiting for Bell to return from the dungeon, I do count you as a true friend, it's hard to find those," she took a breath as they saw Hestia close her eyes and tried to process what was said.

Hestia didn't have to take too long though, "I know, and I know you meant it, I just don't know how to talk to you, as a goddess of chastity and home, talking to a goddess of love, beauty, and war is just going to take some getting used to," well, that was just one of the reasons for it.

"I do understand," the love goddess turned to Bell finally, and blushed from how form fitting and good he looked, and the Psycho knew it too, she wanted to say something before all of their conversations came to her mind, her shoulders shook before she burst out, "I missed you Bell!" Gone was the goddess's grace that she had, she became nothing more than a girl in love when she was with him, which is why she just jumped for him, knowing that he'd catch her, to which he did and spun her around while they hugged, right before kissing her in front of everyone else too.

The men around them were blushing harder now, thinking of how nice it would be if the goddess of love did that for them, while the women were blushing while thinking about how such a collected goddess was nothing but a girl when she was with the guy she loved, how romantic. Hestia didn't look at them, her heart would heal with time, and Ottar had a faint smile on his face, happy that his goddess found her love after looking for so long, Miach, Take, and Hermes were slack jawed at what they were seeing, such a beauty acted like this with a complete Psycho.

"Good to see you too my dear," Bell said the moment they broke off the kiss, he was able to do this with full confidence because nobody here cared or knew that he was dating Syr, her waitress personality, meaning he was free to do this, also because he really wanted to kiss her.

"I'm so happy you get to see me in this form," Freya stepped back and let him look at her outfit, "how do I look," she did a twirl for a moment, she was a vision of beauty, everything about her was gorgeous, and not just because she was a goddess of love and beauty either.

"Stunning my dear, and it fits with you being you," the Psycho walked up to her as she blushed, knowing she wasn't used to acting like she wanted in her Freya form, but also knowing that for this to work, she needed to be her true self with him, no matter where, "you wanna dance?"

"Ottar, please stay by Hestia's side for the moment, we're switching for the evening," the silver haired goddess told her captain before grabbing Bell's hand, who grinned and led her to the dance floor, they easily got into a rhythm as they moved, knowing that this time together was special.

They flowed and danced easily with each other, no awkward movements, no unsure steps, a constant flow of dance that many looked quite happy at seeing, and why wouldn't they, they are seeing the steps of two people that just want to be with each other, nobody could hate that. When it seemed a good time, more gods and their escorts started coming to the dance floor, Miach and Naaza, Take and Mikoto, even Loki and Ais that nobody saw arrive at all, and finally just so she wasn't doing this alone, Hestia roped in Ottar to dance with her, that was comical. So more and more gods and their escorts started to dance with the two, who didn't care and was moving in their own world, and only barely noticing that the others were even there, though at one point in the back of their mind they might have stepped on Hermes for a moment.

As the song ended and everyone stopped dancing and bowed to their partners, Bell smiled a genuine smile at his girl, who smiled a genuine smile right back as they embraced each other, "you know you're gonna get mad grief for this from your Familia and other goddesses, right?"

"Who cares, as long as I can be with you and we can have this untainted moment, I'll take the grief they'll give me," Freya casually said, and if you looked closely, you could see the form of Syr overlapping with her goddess form, but nobody but Bell dared to look that closely at her for that.

"Esteemed guests," called a voice from the middle landing of the stairs, it was Apollo, and forced all to look his way, two with glares, "how are we all enjoying the banquet," the crowd murmured softly at his loud question, and the Psycho wondered why he wasn't killing this god right now. Now Apollo was casually walking to Bell and Freya, not bothering to care who they were and even shown a spotlight on them now, as he got to them, Apollo gave a bit of a creepy laugh and smiled so slimy that the both of them shivered at the feeling of it, but both knew what this was about. Freya stepped back as Hestia calmly walked up and took her place to face off against the creepy god, "salutation Hestia, I heard a rather nasty rumor our children had a bit of a run-in, one of mine suffered serious injuries at the hands of your child and I'd like to request compensation."

"Ha, the day I pay you for anything is the day I let a fat toad fuck me up the ass, besides, we were drinking and a brawl happening isn't uncommon, and I didn't even his any of them with enough force to seriously harm them," Bell claimed with a nonchalant shrug of his shoulders.

"Can you still make such a claim, when you see this," Apollo turned around and shun a spotlight on the Prum from the other night wrapped in bandages over his arms, torso, and head, his left arm and right leg in casts, and holding a crutch, but the most shocking thing, it wasn't fake. Bell sent a subtle glance towards Freya, who looked away with a blush that her children did that to someone and now the Psycho was getting blamed for it, though this might turn into a good thing if they could shift the blame and focus from the injury and have a scapegoat instead. "As I'm told your child was the one who started the altercation, there were witnesses, you can't talk your way out of this," Apollo claimed as another light shown and showed people from the pub that were probably planted there for this very thing, knowing what this would come too.

"Ha, if my Bell really wanted to hurt your child Apollo, he'd have actually killed him, that wasn't us, no matter what your plants say, so I won't just stand here and be insulted, we're leaving," Hestia proclaimed and made to turn around, Bell himself just sighed at the turn of events.

"Oh, you intend to ignore your child's wrongdoings… dear Hestia," the sun god asked, so the god proclaimed with flair, "you've left me no choice, as head of the Apollo Familia, I challenge you to a War Game," that just made the entire crowd to start cheering on such fine entertainment. Apollo basked in the wonderful cheers praising him and his bringing about a War Game for entertainment, "and if we win this clash… then Bell Cranel will belong to us," he declared while gaining the creepiest of all smiles at the prospect of Bell belonging to him.

Before Bell could respond in the affirmative, Hestia instantly said, "I refuse," the Psycho looked at her like he'd been betrayed, but he wanted to humiliate Apollo, she knew he could do it in a verbal debate, she turned to her child, "you are not clashing with them right now, wait a bit."

"But Hestia, I can win against the pompous ass right now, his argument is weak, his showmanship is tacky, and he doesn't tell it like it is unlike me, I wanna cram down his throat that he's nothing but a cuck and a worthless name to all the gods who can't punch upwards."

Bell actually wined like a child since he couldn't say all that in more words, and he still threw some digs in, "you just did, and yes you could say and destroy him a lot harder if I let you, but we're going home, a pompous ass like him doesn't get a verbal thrashing like that," Hestia stated.

"Fine, but I want some ice cream on the way home," the Psycho negotiated as he and his goddess marched out, him giving a quick kiss to Freya's cheek on the way out, and Hestia eyed Ottar a bit when nobody was looking, that comment Freya made of switching captains brought to mind.

Next Day

That next morning brought forth a strange feeling in Bell's gut, so as he was getting ready with a wave of his energy, getting into his Psycho Armor, he talked a bit with Hestia, "I know the gist of a War Game being a battle between two opposing Familias, but how varied are the battles?"

"Yeah, the rules for each War Game is decided, and once the rules for it is decided, it turns into an all-out war based upon those rules, including what the game part is, hide and seek, deathmatch, confirm kill, captain's duel, siege, capture the flag, tag, rap battle, and dance off. The winner gets to take literally anything from the loser, members, goods, money… pretty much whatever they want," Hestia informed, "damn him, he's such a bully, he knows full well that you're the only family I have," and since he does and he wants them both, he'll do anything.

Before Hestia stood up and tried to leave for her job, Bell scanned the area, knowing he could tell if there was anyone close by that wasn't supposed to be there, and a bunch of people on the roof overlooking the church was a definite in the not supposed to be there, "we have some guests." His comment made her pause before she ran up, the Psycho running after her and readying his transportation ability, when they got topside, they saw that on the ruin roofs, there were a large force gathering opposite to them, "so, I guess this is where you try and torture us into joining?"

One of them, a blonde elf, didn't say anything and just made a motion for all of them to fire magic at the two, but Bell acted quickly and grabbed Hestia and blinked to the back of the church to give him enough time to teleport them out of the area and into the guild hall, "brahg," Hestia puked.

Bell saw Eina at the counter, surprised at the fact that he just showed up, "I need to report an attack, the Apollo Familia just attacked the home of the Hestia Familia," the guild advisor looked incredulous at the claim, and they all saw the explosion and smoke that came from that way.

"I'll get the guild's master right away," Eina ran off to get her boss, knowing this situation called for it, Bell would have loved to rip apart all of Apollo Familia, but knew that he wasn't able to at his current level with its captain running about as well, most likely waiting for him to run. The Psycho wanted to be out there, but there was no guarantee that they wouldn't come for Hestia as well, it wasn't long before Eina came back looking dejected, "he won't do anything, he says that they've already considered the penalties of their actions, there's only so much that we can do."

"Great, the oh so mighty guild is just as useless as I thought they'd be, only good for info and not at all for controlling the Familias, fuck you all, at least watch over my goddess while I sort this mess out," Bell spat out the words before the ripples around him appeared and he went home.

The entire place was destroyed, the roof caved in, the glass had shattered, and the basement was covered in too much debris, but it was when the Psycho looked up and saw the leading elf and the many adventurers with him that he got really pissed, some ants wanted to capture him, ha! With a blink of movement, Bell was behind some random guy, a brown haired guy holding a sword, he was stabbed through the leg and kicked off the pillar he was standing on before the Psycho jumped in a back flip to right beside him and went for a blonde with a long spear. This guy tried to block, but a quick series of jabs quickly destroyed the spear and broke his ribs before a flying knee sent him to the ground as well, another elf, this one purple haired, aimed for him with a staff, he was easier to take out with a roundhouse kick to his temple.

"That the best you fucks can do," Bell asked as two elves and a cat-man attacked him at once with magic, the Psycho dodged them easily in hard light form before swift streams of lightning tore through their nervous system and soon they passed out, "who's next," then more came.

Two more beast-men with swords, two elves with longswords, and a beast-man with a brutal looking axe, Bell quickly went for the quicker beast-men, quickly blocking one attack with his Psycho Silverizer and back left kicking the gut of the other one, then sliced the shoulder of them. Bell turned and slammed his fist into the other's jaw just as the two elves came at him, with a slam of his sword into the ground, the Psycho sent a stream lightning though it and into them to stun for a moment before flashing to them quickly and split kicked them off the rooftop as well. The final beast-man came in swinging his axe, which was blocked with Bell's blade before he slammed an elbow onto the guy's shoulder that forced him to his knees, then the Psycho delivered an axe kick to the back of the guy's head to put him to sleep and out of the fight.

The last guy was a blonde elf, more than likely a magic swordsmen, not that it mattered to Bell since he instantly appeared before the guy and started slashing with his Psycho Silverizer, the elf was at least good enough to block the attacks, until eventually the Psycho grabbed the elf's hand. Then he used that to pull the elf forward and sliced through his stomach with both blades, before blinking to two mages and dispatching them with well placed jabs before slamming their heads into the roof, they were out cold as they fell from the high structure and knew no more. Three more mages tried to attack Bell with fire spells, but the Psycho was quicker and quickly sent a high voltage wave out and shocked them until their mouths were foaming and they too fell off, leaving nobody on the immediate rooftop, but there was more on the way here.

Moving quickly, Bell turned into hard light and hopped back and forth until landing in the middle of another group, this one led by Daphne and Cassandra, Cassandra was clearly a mage with a staff, and Daphne was a swordswoman it seemed, with archers and swordsmen around them. "You ought to quit while you're ahead, remember these words, when master Apollo takes a liking to someone, he'll stop at nothing to get his hands on them, that's how Cassandra and I ended up here, city after city, country after country… he'll follow you everywhere you go, until you give up."

"Sadly, I don't intend on just letting him have his way, I guess I'll just have to destroy you all," Bell got in a ready stance and pointed his Psycho Silverizer at the pair, the only one to flinch was a scared looking Cassandra, it looked like she at least knew what he was capable of now.

"Just surrender, I wouldn't want to injure you if you're going to join our Familia anyway," Daphne suggested and the Psycho grinned underneath his helmet, not intending to go down without a fight, "yeah, I figured as much," she was resigned to this, "fine… so bit it," all of them moved.

Bell ran for the closest guy, not caring as the archers shot at him, he was quick enough to avoid the arrows, and he did with his hard light movement and with quick bladework, took out some of the swordsmen with quick and efficient movements, making sure none could get a hit in on him. The archers were also easy, his own skill and projectile weapon easily able to tear apart their bows and then put holes in all of their shoulders and legs, making them fall from the roofs and hit the ground, hard, only him and the two girls remained, "no offence, but I don't follow cucks."

With that said, Bell jumped away from the two and in his hard light form moved farther away from the injured Apollo Familia and towards more of them, each one cut down quickly as they were soon made aware as to why he wasn't to be messed with, there wasn't much to them all. After Bell finally took down the last one that he found, in came reinforcements from the Soma Familia as well, they weren't really tough at all either, and soon they ended the same exact way, and so the Psycho was left with only one opponent, the captain of the Apollo Familia was here.

"So, Hyacinth I believe your name was, right," Bell turned to face the newly arrived captain, "why bother following such a pathetic god, gods aren't all that great to begin with when down here on earth instead of in heaven, was just wondering," the comment and question did sit well at all.

Quicker than most could follow below the guy's level, he appeared before Bell and was drawing his sword, which was quickly blocked thanks to a combination of the Psycho's armor and his Psycho Silverizer, but the force did drive Bell back a few feet, but the captain wasn't done yet. "I must comment you on your efforts of getting this far, young Bell Cranel, now rejoice, for I will be your next opponent, Psycho Silver, Enemy to the Gods," then he moved again and slashed at Bell, who's mind and body was going to be working overtime to process and block them. They came like flashes of light, not nearly as fast as Ais, but still plenty fast for normal people, swipe, stab, slash, poke, everything was used and all he was only barely able to block and redirect in time before they hit him, all while the captain laughed a bit too evilly for Bell's taste. After a while Hyacinth backed up, "although I absolutely despise you for stealing away master Apollo's love and affection, I must obey his noble command, I shall be the one to recruit you into our Familia," he declared as if he'd get his way, the Psycho didn't care about him.

"Aw, so you're just the bottom bitch to the cuck god, here's something you should know, you try to force Hestia to unlock the Falna, I'll kill myself before I ever let that weak cuck god come anywhere near me," Bell declared, which only seemed to anger the level 3 captain more.

In another flash of motion, he was upon Bell with even faster and more aggressive attacks, "do you always make such a racket," he asked while sending attack after attack at the Psycho, who blocked all of them with his maximum effort to see through them, eventually though, one hit. This one was a heavy upward slice that scraped against his armor and forced him back to a wall, the captain put his boot to Bell's shoulder, "what a disgusting pitiful face, I'll never understand what master Apollo sees in a vile insect like you, I have devoted my entire body and soul to him."

"Yet you still fall short of fucking him," Bell stated with a grin and grabbed Hyacinth's leg, sending a powerful shock of lightning throughout the man, the vicious grin growing wider as he rose up and plunged his blade into the man's other leg that kept him balanced and on the ground. "Don't come to me about devotion to a worthless god like him when I just beat you, Dark Vortex," Bell sent his spell aimed for the captain's torso and sent the man sprawling back and into a building opposite them, "what a pathetic man," with that, he walked away casually from the man.

As he was walking away, more members of the Soma Familia came for him, then they saw the beaten form of Hyacinth behind him and they were shaken enough to turn tail and run, but the most unexpected was when all those that he previously beat showed up in front of him again. They all looked to be freshly healed and ready to go again, Bell just cracked his neck before bringing out both his hands, that was the signal for them to attack him, and attack they all did, many would be deterred by the sheer number, Bell only felt excitement at the thought.

Later

A very badly beaten and bruised Bell was walking through the streets with Hestia in tow, in was time they ended this shit, time to figure out that they can't just start shit with him and not get what's coming to them, so they went and soon arrived at the entrance to the large mansion. "I KNOW YOU'RE IN THERE APOLLO, OPEN THE GATES RIGHT THIS INSTANT," Hestia called out, and the gates opened, all of a sudden, multiple of the Familia came out and stood in two straight lines, and soon, Apollo himself came out of the double doors to his mansion as well.

"Hey Hestia, to what do I owe the pleasure of such an unforeseen visitation," Apollo asked with a small mile, the guy was clearly miffed about something, more than likely all of his Familia that he sent out to take on and fight Bell being taken out before moving on to take on Hyacinth as well.

Hestia hummed for a moment before looking to her left at the Prum from the other day, "hey Prum… let me borrow your glove," the boy hesitated before taking it off for her, as soon as she took it, she threw it for it to smack right in the face of Apollo, the slapping echoed around them. "Bring it on punk," she called out and pointed a finger at the god, "if you want this stupid War Game so bad, then let's do it," she officially accepted the challenge to the fight between Familias, both Bell and Apollo gave grins, Apollo's sick and creepy, Bell's malicious and like he was insane.

"It appears both parties are in agreement, ladies and gentlemen, the War Game is on," Apollo called and suddenly tons of gods popped out and began to cheer for the games, "to ensure fairness, our brethren shall bear witness to the rules set forth, I'll be in touch with the details."

"NO," Bell called out to the god, "we do shit on our own time, you get one week to train your boys into men, then we set forth rules, and then you can have another week to prepare for the games, don't like that, tough shit, I take orders from no one," both him and Hestia turned and left.

They left behind a seething Apollo at being told what he didn't want, and as soon as they got out, the gate slammed shut behind them, "Bell, Lady Hestia," the voice of Welf came running up to them, as soon as he got there he explained, "some bad news… the Soma Familia took Lili."

Hestia instantly knew the best thing to do at a time like this, "don't run off right now," she told Bell, "I think… it would be best for you to focus on your training for now Bell, we'll handle saving your supporter, we have some time before the War Game, so please make sure to use it."

Bell didn't like it, but knew that he needed to get even stronger than he is now, and the best way to do that was to train in the harshest way he could, "fine, I'm gonna be training at the Freya Familia, she wants me strong, and she doesn't care what the public or the guild thinks, I'm good."

Bell walked off towards the Hostess of Fertility, knowing that Syr was there, rather his Syr or not was another matter right now, as soon as he stepped through the doors, he found his Syr running up to him, "Bell, I was so worried about you," she called as he caught her and spun around.

"I missed you to my dear Syr," Bell said and hugged her tight, knowing that he needed to ask her right now, "but I need to ask you something, please have Ottar train me, I need strength only he can provide, this War Game will be a long and harsh one if I remain as I am, I need his aid."

Syr looked down for a moment and thought about it, wanting to go straight for Ottar was a big move, and training with him would be heavy, might even be overkill with his combination of skills and abilities that Bell has, but, "very well, come on, I'll have Horn replace me so we can go."

Syr waited until Horn appeared with Allen, who was ordered to stay with her and watch the inn while the two of them, Freya and Bell, went back to Babel to get Ottar's help with this matter, it didn't take too long, not with Bell teleporting them to just outside of her room, "handy ability."

"I know, already saved my ass a few times today," Bell informed as they stepped through the door to her private room and found Ottar waiting for them, he was big and bulky, and still intimidating, with red and black on instead of that suit, "I believe you know what I'm here for."

"Of course," Ottar voiced in a stoic monotone, before looking to Freya, knowing that she would have final say and they would only train together if she agreed, Freya nodded her head and so it was agreed, "very well, we begin immediately, I give no quarter and I do not accept weakness."

Bell nodded and Ottar bowed to Freya before starting to leave, the Psycho was soon to follow, Freya's voice stopped them, "gather up Heith, she can be the one to make sure that you do not kill him, and I don't want him killed, my Bell will not be permanently harmed in this."

"Of course Lady Freya," the king assured as he left with Bell to begin training, leaving the level 7 to call Hedin to be the one to wait on Freya until such a time that he returned, Bell following behind him, they headed for Freya Familia's home base, Folkvangr, and into the training yard. There were a lot of other warriors around, all of them training as well, all in a form of combat some would consider excessive, "you are to fight as many of us as you can, for as long as you can, you will even fight me along with all of them, prepare yourself," suddenly all of them came.

Two Weeks Later

Bell began to approach where he was meeting his Familia, word was sent to Folkvangr a few days ago that a few more people have been added to their ranks, and one was allowed to fight with them, these people are Welf, Lili, Mikoto, and the add-on being Ryu, all tough in their own right. It wasn't long before he arrived and all were just waiting for him with grins on their faces, it was Lili that noticed him first, and the state he was in, "he's here, master Bell is back, and still hurt," she called to the others as he approached, and he just looked a bit hurt, not really banged up.

"Nah, just look banged up is all, give me a second," Bell put his hand out in front of him and then to his face, and with a silver shimmer of light, his armor was repaired and he looked good as new, "so, I heard we got some new members, anything I need to know," he asked the people here.

"Well, it seems that your skill of Psycho has a piggyback feature, any members of the Familia get the stat increase that you have with the skill, meaning that they'll get better twice as fast, and that I talked with Freya, if we win this, we'll be a Familia allied with her," Hestia announced.

"Good, it'll be nice to have more excuses to talk with her, if I cared about people seeing us that is," the Psycho commented before looking at the distance, "you ready for the War Games everyone," when they all answered yes, "then I think it's time we update my status now."

"Then lets do this," Hestia had Bell remove his top armor and he sat down in front of her real quick, and then they all got the shock when Bell not only got a high status, but was ready to level up now, "what the hell, you can level up, and have Abnormal Resistance, Ranger, or Ox slayer."

"I'll choose the Ranger, I imagine it'll improve my range attack aim and stamina as well, not that I need it but I want it," Bell told her, and she nodded and made it so, and now they all get to see what really makes this skill special, and what might be the same for their level up as well.

"Well, I'm sure you guys are excited, but just remember, after you guys level up is when we'll see if you guys get the same bonus," Bell told them as he reformed his chest armor and now they were all ready to begin, on the way they began to discuss a plan while Bell held a green stone. This stone was attached to a necklace that Freya had given him, along with a kiss, before she left to watch the meeting along with the other gods where they would watch the entire War Game, along with set it up so the rest of Orario could also watch it as well, and wonder about the ending.

Bell let the others discuss strategy, with him listening in, the game was castle siege, Hestia Familia attacking the Apollo Familia, basically putting it under siege, but they only had three days to finish the attack or they lose and the Apollo Familia wins, or they just get wiped out fully. Though considering that the Familia now has a bit of an add-on, he's now more sure than ever that he can build a team so strong that none would stand a chance against him, and the first step in doing that is to win today, so once all the plans have been finalized, they set up and waited.

They only had to wait for one more day before the start to the War Games begun, they all heard a loud gong and as soon as it did, Bell sent out Ryu to begin the plan, she could easily take on 50 of Apollo Familia's men, and that was without using the Crozzo magic swords that she currently had. After the wall was brought down, Mikoto was sent in for another strike, she was able to handle at least 25 members, so she caused some chaos before using her magic to then bring her lot down to the ground and also forced her to stay in one place, but she could withstand it better. That is when the great reveal was brought to light, Lili had snuck in the previous night and sowed distrust and chaos amongst them before finally opening the gates and letting through both Bell and Welf, she was disguised as the Prum that kept popping up, "nice work, Luan."

"Fuck off master Bell, I hate this disguise, I rather be Lili," that coming from a boy's voice was a bit disturbing, but they had plenty to do, so she didn't have to stay like that for long, "now you go along ahead, I'm gonna be a good little sister and stir up some more trouble for them." They all had a long talk about who each person was to Bell, Welf more like a brother figure, Mikoto a friend, Ryu like an older sister, Hestia like a mother, and Lili more like a little sister, she chose to interpret that as more of a mischievous little sister on her own and played the part well.

So Bell and Welf both charged into the castle and on the way, Bell fired some blasts that took out those that Mikoto was keeping down, it didn't take long before they were running through a passageway and onto a bridge, "their commander's up in the tower, go Bell," Welf told him.

Bell didn't have to be told twice as he charged forward and they came out of the tunnel, and into an ambush with Daphne leading them and calling out, "everyone fire," and all mages sent out fire magic and arrows to shoot, but Welf took care of them with his own spell to detonate it early.

"Nice try Daphne, but when we win this, you and Cassandra can come join the Hestia Familia, you guys have good head on your shoulders," Bell offered to the girl, who stared at him dumbfounded as Welf got in her way and prepared to fight her, she was the only opponent left for him after all.

Bell continued up the tower and into the building, taking out any stragglers that appeared before him in a flash, and it wasn't long until he was directly under where the rest of them were, Hyacinth seemed to be smacking around Cassandra and berating the rest of his personal guard. The Psycho didn't let them discuss much more as he brought out his Psycho Silverizer and pointed it upward, and with a form up of magic, sent a half-powered, "Psycho Silverizer: Dark Vortex," up and through the floor to destroy all within the path, only ones spared were Hyacinth and Cassandra.

Bell jumped up with hard light and landed on used to be a top floor and is now the new roof, "how can this be," Hyacinth commented to himself as he saw the destruction around him, which was soon a gasp as hard light tore through the smoke in front of him and soon turned corporeal.

"Miss me bottom cuck," Bell was much faster now, and the captain was surprised, so when he kept backing up, the Psycho instantly knew where to hit, and finally Bell got close enough that he broke Hyacinth's sword in two when the guy tried for a lunge that he really shouldn't have. After cleaving the sword in two, Bell struck out an elbow that caught the captain in the jaw, and then a backhand with the same hand, and a quick jab with his left to Hyacinth's ribs caused them to crack, a right kick to his sides broke some, and a spinning roundhouse sent him flying.

Hyacinth was forced to land back away from Bell and was struggling to get up, Cassandra wanted to do something to help, and when she got up to, Bell looked her way and she saw what her dream was about, don't piss off the demon bunny and two maidens would be saved from the sun. So she stayed put as her captain got to his knees and began to cast a spell, "I am love… the treasure of light, I offer this body to the almighty sun, ring of fire for my enemy, come forth, westerly winds, Aro Zephyros," the magic formed a ring made of condensed sunlight. The ring was tossed towards Bell with all the force he could muster, which wasn't much, but it got the job done, because the ring was dodged easily then redirected to come right back to the target, he did that a few more times before Hyacinth shouted out, "Rubere!"

This caused the entire ring to explode in a fiery blast that scorched much nearby, but it only scuffed up his highly durable armor, "what was that shit, an instant tanning spell," Bell walked easily towards the now shaking level 3 captain, "it's time to end this," the Psycho grinned. Then he charged, his blade glowing a bright blue, Hyacinth tried to get up with a knife to defend himself, but it was just like paper against him, Bell jumped up and called out, "Psycho Silverizer," as he brought the blade down, a large blue blade cut through reality and Hyacinth and his blade. The captain let out a spray of blood from both torso and mouth as he fell back, and Bell turned and put his right arm holding the blade up ninety degrees and his left arm to come rest under that with the palm facing outward, the scene with a blood splatter instead of a silvery mist this time.

"It's all over, what a remarkable turn of events," an announcer that only really appeared with events like these called out, Bell thinks his name is Ibri, it was his duty to narrate what was going on, the Psycho hoped the calling was fair, "the winner of the War Games is the Hestia Familia!"

Author's note: If you couldn't tell, I really hate Hermes, and I want the fracture of Freya to be out of the equation, is it a cop out? Yes. Do I care? Not a fucking bit. Also the out of left field crack pairing is going to be Hestia x Ottar, I think it's just too funny to pass up.
