Upgrades Chapter 109 (Patreon)

After Albion left... I was pensive and lost in my thoughts even as the rest of my party came and checked on my mental state.

'I am not being suppressed, but this guillotine over my head by people so much more powerful is a really shitty feeling, even if it is pushing me to become more powerful.' I thought with a sigh.

I took a deep breath as I focused on the future as for now... Albion was going to be my 'guardian' as she sought to use my cheat skill to make her goodies.

But as for the future. When she inevitably used those weapons and people asked where the divine weapons with stupid abilities came from?

Yeah, even she woudn't be able to keep everything to herself when Hera asked. And Hera was a proud goddess who would happily tell all that a mortal tied to her familia was crafting divine weapons.

Still... A goddess of wisdom and dreams. Along with Freya got my secret. Honestly, I shoudn't be surprised as it was very likely that Rhukadavatta dreamwalked in Tsubaki's dreams.

Likewise, Freya could have charmed her or anyone else in my own group and made them forget being charmed to begin with.

This version of Danmachi, although lacking in the background 'evils' of Evilus and that kind of terrorism and such had a different issue. A far higher power ceiling with the Zeus and Hera Familia.

Now... With my true cheat being revealed and Albion knew that my alchemy and potion making was part of my cheat. 

I had two options basically at this point.

My first option was simple. I fucking leave the world of Danmachi to gain more power so I wouldn't have a noose around my neck that was a level nine elf milf who could crush me with her magic, to say nothing of her physical abilities.

There were plenty of worlds in which my cheat would be even more overpowered in. Where I could more easily get materials to fuse into materials that could directly make me more powerful wholesale, even without my falna.

Countless cultivation worlds, fantasy worlds with built-in level systems like Konosuba, or for just pure power... Imagine if I could rob Gilgamesh and fuse all of the treasures in his Gate?

If I went to Douluo Dalu, I could fuse Spirit Bones and possibly even Spirit Rings themself to become more powerful. If I went to an alchemy-focused cultivation world like Battle Through the Heavens... To say nothing of the Heavenly Flames, being able to fuse pills to make even better ones would be a path to godhood.

Hell... Couldn't I go to Skyrim and just abuse potion and enchantment mechanics to make myself a god at that point with my fusion abilities, even if materials in the universe can't withstand the powerful enchantments and alchemy normally?

So that was option one. Running away again as I had literally zero chance of avoiding Albion at this point. I had no doubt that the moment I got back up to the surface. Shenhe or another Hera Familia member would be following my every move I made.

Option two, I embrace the milf sugar mommy... Half elves were so common for a reason, and it wasn't human women getting impregnated by 'dashing' elves.

No, it was the female elves with their 'disdain' for the lesser races touching them, and then when they got 'intrigued' by said lesser race, they being the degenerates they were. Went crazy to say the least.

'I make her divine tools, worm my way into her mind, and then let the horny elf milf do the rest and live off of her protection?' I mused before I shook my head.

As the Hera Familia was tied to the Zeus Familia. And even if they managed to kill all three world threats, including the Black Dragon. That would just mean that Maxim, if he actually hit level ten like he wanted.

It would just become a bigger threat to me. If he didn't get pulled to Tenkai as an immortal when he hit level ten anyway.

I had no idea what would happen when he hit level ten, honestly.

Still... Those were my two options. And I was leaning towards getting the hell out of dodge as the grass was always greener on the other side.

With a heavy exhale, I gave my party a look and said. "Alright. Let's get going back up to the surface. We did enough grinding for today. And Blake can't deal with the monsters any deeper down in the dungeon anyway."
