Danmachi: Captured by Freya at the Beginning!

Chapter 57 - Ishtar and Apollo's Collaboration!

"Shut up!"

Ishtar was completely dancing on the other party's bottom line, but this was also her purpose.

She just wants to stir up hatred between Apollo and Freya, adding fuel to the fire, and giving some false news.

When the time comes, won't he be the best cannon fodder?

"What are you here for?"

"Cooperation. You hate Freya, and so do I. With the same goal, we're the best allies."

"Allies? Humph!" Looking at Ishtar, Apollo's face was full of mockery.

Ishtar didn't care about Apollo's attitude.

His opinion was irrelevant because she knew, given Freya's personality, today's events wouldn't end with a simple grudge.

"Apollo, you should understand that although everything seems over now, it doesn't mean that there will be no problems tomorrow."

"What exactly do you want to say?"

"I know Freya better than anyone. She's not a generous goddess. Moreover, you coveted her things. Do you think she'll let you go with her personality?"

Her words left Apollo unable to refute because it was the truth.

With so many gods present, Freya wouldn't mess around, but it didn't mean that everything was over.

It is a hard fact that Freya Familia is way stronger than Apollo Familia.

Afterward, she wouldn't even need to dispatch cadres.

It wouldn't even take much – a single Level 4 adventurer could wipe Apollo Familia off the map of Orario.

Moreover, Hyakinthos was already half-crippled, with an arm severed and his strength greatly reduced.

"How do you want to cooperate!" Finally, Apollo calmed down and looked at Ishtar to ask.

He had no choice but to cooperate with her.

Ishtar smiled when she heard Apollo's question.

She finally got suitable cannon fodder.

"It's very simple. I have already prepared a trump card here. It will only take a little time to take effect. At that time, it will be Freya's time to pay the price."

"Hmph! Seriously? Taking on the Freya Familia with just us two? What a joke!"

"Of course not. In Orario, there are many people who want Freya to fall from grace," Ishtar said, causing Apollo to nod.

If it was really just Ishtar, he wouldn't do anything stupid.

After coming from the heavens to the lower world, he had never seen Ishtar win against Freya once.

"Who else?"

"You don't need to know."

"Aren't we 'allies'? You're unwilling to reveal this?"

"Don't worry, we have a lot of 'allies'."

'Boom——'

The black-robed man beside him exuded a terrifying killing intent.

Although Apollo couldn't tell how strong the other party was, he was definitely a high-level adventurer, at least stronger than his Hyakinthos, and from the looks of it, he should also be a man.

After all, most of the members of Ishtar Familia were amazoness battle prostitutes known as Berbera, and there were no men.

This means that the other party did not lie to him.

There are other allies in the dark, and their strength is not low.

"Apollo, I will visit you again when the time is right. At that time, it will be time for Freya to pay the price."

"Okay, but I have a condition," said Apollo.

"Condition?" Ishtar frowned slightly.

You, a cannon fodder, dare to make conditions? Don't you have any self-awareness?

However, it was still necessary to win over Apollo now, and Ishtar didn't want to fall out with him so soon.

"I want Ethan Starfall. I'm going to 'pamper' him so much that he'll be my slave for all eternity."

"Okay~" Ishtar did not refuse and directly agreed, and Apollo suddenly revealed a twisted and perverted smile on his face.

Soon, after discussing the details of the alliance, Ishtar and the black-robed man left the residence of Apollo Familia.

"Are you really going to cooperate with that god Apollo?" asked the black-robed man as soon as they came out.

"Cooperate? Hmph! He's just cannon fodder, someone to hold back Freya. Although his Familia is a bit weak, it's still better than wasting our people, right?"

"That's true, but what can a bunch of level 1 and level 2 adventurers do?"

"Delaying that bitch for a second is enough. Besides, isn't there still a level 3 in Apollo Familia?"

"Well, a crippled level 3. His strength isn't much better than a level 2 now."

"That's why he's just cannon fodder. And Apollo dares to bargain with me. He doesn't even see what level he is. Freya's little gigolo is mine."

"Hm? Are you interested in that guy too?"

"That's right. When I snatch the man she's interested in, I think her expression will be quite exciting."

At the thought of this, Ishtar felt a burst of twisted pleasure.

Just thinking about such a scene was exhilarating.

If Ethan were here, he would definitely complain.

In the original story, Ishtar's man was 'charmed' by Freya with a single glance.

Although both of them were 'Goddesses of Beauty', the gap was simply too big.

One only needed to stand there to captivate everyone, whether it was a god or a human.

The other needed to show off her beauty, and it wasn't certain that others would appreciate it.

Freya's beauty was cool and captivating like a queen, while Ishtar's jealousy marred her beauty, making her presence increasingly unappealing.

One was Snow White; the other, the envious queen.
