DxD: Reborn with a Divine Treasure Chest System Chapter 52 52: 52. The Monster Card: Stardust Dragon

◉◉◉◉◉

Honestly, it wasn't that surprising.

Bell was the kind of person who was easily moved by others.

Once soone inspired her, once she began to admire soone, she would chase that ideal with everything she had.

"Hey, hey! Wait a second! I never said I agreed to this!"

Hestia pounced onto Anos, waving her arms wildly in protest.

"Hestia, stop being stubborn."

Anos sighed, gently patting her head.

"Our familia can't just consist of alone, Besides, with Bell joining, things will work out better."

"When I go into the Dungeon, she can co with And when I'm not around, she can stay with you."

"Doesn't that solve everything?"

"Hmmmm…"

Hestia crossed her arms and started thinking.

Anos usually made sense.

And whenever he explained sothing, it always sounded like he had already thought ten steps ahead.

Maybe… she should listen to him this ti?

The thought popped into her mind again.

And every ti it appeared—

The result was always the sa.

She ended up following Anos's suggestion.

…

One hour later.

With Bell both excited and nervous, Hestia placed her divine blessing upon her.

"So… my adventure begins today."

Bell looked at the status sheet with shining eyes.

Her heart pounded with excitent.

Her numbers were low.

Very low.

But Bell still felt thrilled.

A hero who starts out invincible might look cool.

But becoming a hero step by step earning strength, protecting what you want to protect—

That was wonderful too.

Watching Bell practically vibrate with excitent, Hestia shook her head slightly.

In truth…

She hadn't revealed all of Bell's stats.

Originally, in the story she knew, Bell's hidden abilities were concealed to allow her to grow naturally.

Now, Hestia had a different reason.

She didn't want Bell to realize just how strongly she admired Anos.

So she hid the extra information.

Of course, it was also a small way of protecting her.

Just a little.

Because compared to Bell…

Anos was the one who truly needed protecting.

…

anwhile.

The mont Bell received her blessing, Anos heard the familiar system notification.

"…Interesting."

Anos narrowed his eyes thoughtfully.

These were the effects as they existed in the Yu-Gi-Oh world.

But when translated into reality… when applied directly to him…

What form would that power take?

He was curious to find out.

"Anos, do you want to update your status too?"

Hestia looked at him eagerly.

Every ti she updated his abilities, watching him grow stronger made her feel proud almost as if she herself had grown stronger.

"Sure, might as well."

Anos shrugged.

"We'll reach Orario tomorrow. Updating it now isn't a bad idea."

He didn't mind.

At this point, he already had enough strength to protect himself.

"Alright! Leave it to !"

Hestia proudly puffed out her chest.

The motion caused her figure to sway noticeably, leaving Bell montarily stunned.

…Was the difference between gods and mortals really this big?

Bell instinctively compared herself to the goddess beside her.

The comparison did not help her confidence.

By the ti Bell snapped out of her daze, Hestia had already finished updating Anos's status.

"All done!"

Hestia excitedly lifted the sheet.

Bell's curiosity got the better of her and she leaned in to look.

Just reading the densely packed sheet made Bell's breathing quicken.

Compared to her own simple status filled with "none," Anos's sheet looked like it belonged to the universe's favorite child.

Unfortunately, she didn't get to finish reading.

"Hey! Don't go snooping through soone else's status!"

Hestia hurriedly pulled the sheet away.

She understood exactly what those numbers ant.

That wasn't just talent.

It was power far beyond Orario's current strongest adventurer.

If Anos continued growing normally…

Becoming a god would only be a matter of ti.
