Playing With Other Supernaturals

Chapter 862 [Welcome to our camp~!]

Within the girls' tent, another round of introductions had begun and it didn't end there, as other people from other Familias arrived at the tent and introduced themselves too. Of course, no man could approach as it was the girls' private area.

There were those from the Freya, Hephaestus, Hermes, Ganesha, Takemikazuchi, and Miach Familias. While not all of the girls in the expedition had come, except for any members of the Kali Familia who had no interest in anything other than fighting, the high-ranking members of all the other Familia had come to gather more information.

As a result, the tent became quite crowded and Riveria had no way to send these girls back out and could only rub her forehead in frustration, 'Well, I should be thankful that not everyone is here.'

"Now then, we all know why we gathered here so let's drop the pretenses. Ask what you want to know, however, you can't force an answer and if our guest here doesn't want this rude questioning, I'll have to ask everyone to leave." Riveria then turned to Tenestra, "Please be honest if you don't like what's happening. Of course, you could use this as a chance to have your own questions answered too."

But before Tenestra could give a response, Mia interjected, "Hold on. Before we start, I'd like to know what's going on on the surface right now. I know that we sent some people up to get a few emergency supplies and we will get the news once they've returned, but that'll take a week or so if they want to move carefully.

"Before we left, there was a sudden influx of people coming into Orario and we technically left our Deities unguarded. I'm sure most of you wanted some form of relief, even if you know the Deities wouldn't be killed by us mortals. But that doesn't mean accidents can't happen."

Everyone became silent and some of them even silently nodded at Mia's words. Even if it's very safe in their quarters within the Tower of Babel, that only applies if their Deities stayed still and waited for them. With new and interesting things happening in town right now, they doubt they could actually do it.

"It'll be fine.", Line's first words to the question, "Each of the Deities that participated in this expedition were given a Magic Item that will automatically protect them if harm was about to reach them. That was Medusa-san's answer when I asked her the same thing. It was apparently made by Kisuke-kun himself and could protect them for about half an hour from most accidents and will also alarm his comrades to respond immediately and have them pulled out in case of emergency."

But except for the members of the Loki and Freya Familia, everyone's brow furrowed in doubt, and Shakti stepped forward, "I already noticed that you lot seem to trust Kisuke Urahara way more than necessary and I know that he's the main inventor of that strange vehicle, but to claim to have made an item that protects someone from most harm and even have the Deities who can't use Magic Power at all use them, it would mean that it didn't need activation from the user itself. Do you realize how unbelievable your words are?"

Line smiled wryly and understood her suspicions. Without being able to form a proper way to explain it, she just said, "But if it's Kisuke-kun we're talking about here, 'most accidents' probably include even if the whole Tower of Babel collapses with the Deities inside of it."

"Huh?", Shakti only let out a dumbfounded sound.

Asfi also stepped out and said, "That's not an explanation you know? You only made a bolder claim."

Riveria sighed as she also didn't know how she would explain it to them, "Just think of it like this. Those two who led us here, even them couldn't follow what was going on in his head. Even by those two's standards, I noticed that he frequently throws them off."

Those that didn't know were obviously shocked and disturbed by her words, however, "...Riveria-san, that isn't an explanation either."

"As expected, not everyone knows what he's truly capable of, even here. Looks like I won't be able to gather much more information than I already have on him." Tenestra suddenly interrupted, gathering everyone's attention back to her.

"Ehem," Tenestra then cleared her throat and stood straight up, "I'm just going to say this once so listen closely. When Line-chan said that 'most accidents' covers the collapse of that tower, it's definitely true and she may have even been downplaying it a little bit."

Those around were about to say something but Tenestra didn't allow them by gesturing and pulling out a crystal from her bag, "Before you say anything else, allow me to show you something."

Placing the crystal on the nearby table, Tenestra explained while injecting her own Magic Power on it, "This is called a Memory Crystal. Kisuke Urahara started producing these in the Dizara Region as some sort of surveillance peripherals. This allows you to record imagery and sounds of where the front side is pointed upon activation and display them on the backside."

As she finished her explanation, a floating screen appeared on top of the crystal, similar to when the Gods use their powers to view and share with everyone when there's a War Game going on.

The first thing they saw upon activation was a white, immaculate, and breathtaking tower that seemed to be out of this world under the crystals that gave off light, signifying that this scenery was inside a massive Dungeon floor.

Everyone remained speechless as the clip played through, showing the exterior and interior of the tower and even the dome that was being used as a training ground on the side of the tower. They were not just taken away by the strange sights, but also confused and wordless about all the technologies and Magic that was displayed in use. All of it went against their common notions of infrastructure and the first thing that came to their minds was this building was not made of by people's hands but the Dungeon itself.

"This is known as the Tower of Desires among the Mercenaries of the Dizara Region. As you can see, it has technologies never seen before, and just moving between the floors already employs Teleportation Magic that no one seems to have understood how it works yet. From strangely elegant rooms and recreational floors to biometric scanners, all of it requires countless generations of engineering and Magic development before we could have something even remotely similar.

"It wasn't shown in this recording, but aside from the dome where everyone could use to train and study as long as you're not banned and you have money to spare, there's also a Teleportation Deck not far from these buildings that were directly connected to the first safe zone within the Dungeon. Anyone can use it as long as one pays up, resulting in a massive influx of Mercenaries on the deeper floors. In just a few weeks of this activity, the overall average Level within the region was estimated to have increased by 2."

Lily, who came as Miach Familia's representative, swallowed a mouthful of saliva and muttered, "Two levels in just a few weeks!? That's ridiculous! Even Bell-sama was only able to do it within a few months!"

Tenestra turned to her and smiled, "The thing is, within that dome, records and training procedures for Ki and Magic Power are publicly available and members of the Hestia and Artemis Familia would frequently gather there to train. Not just watching, but some people were able to spar with them, giving everyone great insights into these power systems.

"The point is, this magnificent tower that no one would be able to replicate in an innumerable amount of years was solely built by Kisuke Urahara within three days using an enormous amount of Adamantite and Orichalcum that he got from somewhere."

Not just Riveria, but everyone who knew the current state of Knossos shuddered at a certain possibility.

But Tenestra only noted this and continued, "And you know what he said when we first discovered this tower?"

Tenestra cleared his throat and did her best to imitate Kisuke's mannerism, "[Welcome to our camp~!] The bastard only considered the greatest creation in the history of mankind as a simple camp!"
