Snort! 

Hestia didn't quite understand the full meaning behind Alexander's words, but she confidently hopped onto his back and silently extended a single finger. 

"Alright, Alexander, I'm going to start now. From this moment onward, welcome to Hestia's big family! Heehee!" 

Hestia's smug and victorious demeanor was enough to make the women standing nearby turn their heads away, struggling to suppress their laughter. 

'We are professionals. We don't laugh.' 

On the other hand, Hestia paid no attention to their expressions. She extended her slender finger, and at its tip, a droplet of bright red blood fell directly onto Alexander's back. A powerful energy filled the entire room. 

Suddenly, strange characters began to appear on Alexander's back: 

Name: Alexander Chase

Class: IV? 

Strength: ? 

Durability: ? 

Dexterity: ? 

Agility: ? 

Magic: ? 

Hestia froze, her jaw nearly dropping to the floor. 

"What kind of status panel is this?! Why are all the stats filled with question marks? What is going on?!" 

Her gaze fell further down, and her confusion turned to astonishment: 

Magic Abilities: 

Meteorite Strike, Thunderfall, Sky Collapse, Heaven and Earth Reversal, Wishing Upon Stars, Flight, Levitation, Teleportation Magic, Heavenly Army Descent... 

Each magic ability sounded more awe-inspiring than the last, and Hestia couldn't help but feel as though any one of them could destroy the world with a single spell!

But there was more. 

Skills: 

True Martial Arts A+++, Electromagnetic Railgun Lv. 5, Traffic Control, Luck EX, Dragon's Breath, Gem Magic, Ice Manipulation, Unlimited Blade Works, King's Authority, Infinite Martial Arts, Mind's Eye B, Spearmanship Grandmaster, Earth Release: Earth Dragon Concealment, Eternal Flame Illusion, Pegasus Meteor Fist Series, God of War's Might, Cosmic Power, Fate Manipulation, Earth Magic Series... 

The list seemed endless. 

Hestia was stunned. Her eyes scanned the seemingly infinite array of abilities, and the longer she looked, the more overwhelming it became. 

"What... What kind of monster is this guy?" 

For a moment, she was completely frozen in shock, but then something dawned on her. Her expression brightened. 

The stronger Alexander was, the more advantageous it was for her! After all, Alexander had just become her family member! With someone like him, wouldn't she finally get to dominate the dungeon and even stand tall against Loki? She could walk proudly, head held high! 

As the mental image of her triumphant future flashed in her mind, Hestia couldn't help but smile, her lips twitching as if she were about to drool. 

However, her happiness didn't last long. 

Within moments, the glowing characters on Alexander's back began to fade until they vanished completely. Hestia's joy turned to panic. 

"No! No!!! How could this happen?!" 

Before she could process what had gone wrong, all the information disappeared entirely. Although Hestia didn't fully understand the mechanics of what she was seeing, she grasped one thing: 

"I failed?!" 

Her confusion was interrupted when Alexander turned the tables. Before Hestia knew it, Alexander was on top of her, pinning her down, a mischievous grin plastered across his face. 

"Hestia, it's my turn now." 

Hearing Alexander's words and feeling the weight of the situation (quite literally), Hestia's voice wavered. 

"No... No! Alexander, I surrender! I admit defeat! Please let me go! If I become someone else's family, Loki will never let me live this down!" 

Her protests were desperate, but Alexander wasn't about to let her off that easily. He glanced at Kurumi, who immediately caught on to his intent. 

In an instant, several of Kurumi's clones appeared, each holding down one of Hestia's limbs. Two of the clones even grabbed hold of her twin ponytails. 

Seeing this, Hestia's panic escalated into full-blown terror. 

"No!!! Let me go! This is coercion! It's unfair! I want to go back to the dungeon! Waaaahhh! I'm being bullied!" 

Hestia cried so pitifully that even Alexander couldn't help but sigh. 

"Hestia, didn't we make a bet? You're a goddess, aren't you? Are you really going to back out now?" 

"I... I..." Hestia had no words. She wanted nothing more than to disappear into a hole. 

Resigned to her fate, she slumped down onto the sofa, lying motionless as Alexander began what he intended.
