“That brat really…”
“Do you remember… Mister Stia?”
“Ah, yes, yes. Speak normally. And yes, I do.”
Then Stia starts talking about why he was sealed on the hundredth floor of this dungeon.
“One day, that brat… Tania came here, supposedly to study what kind of dungeon this was, in order to make one.”
And as Stia felt good talking about the dungeon he was so proud of, he was suddenly attacked, and sealed after having his powers taken away.
And apparently Tania messed with various functions of this dungeon, which is why the revival function isn’t working properly.
“But there are currently people who were revived using that feature but haven’t woken up.”
“Yes, I know. I used my powers to put them to sleep, in order to prevent damage.”
“And is there a way to undo that, or rather, save them?”
“That’s not a problem. Hold on a second. First, I need to bring this dungeon back to the way it was.”
Stia says, and then goes quiet.
First of all, since we cleared this dungeon, or I guess liberated the god, we’re calling this mission accomplished.
Then I notice that the beast king is very quiet. Is it because this is the beast god?
I look at him, and he looks frozen, like time stopped.
Is it like in Majolica’s dungeon?
“Ah, I stopped time for everyone not concerned with this. Although it doesn’t work on one person.”
Stia is looking at Nene. She’s also frozen, but it’s like she’s frozen with shock.
“Apparently this person is a miko, so she can move in this space. She has the power to receive oracles, and that increases her affinity with us gods a lot.”
He then adds the word probably, and gets back to work.
“I’m surprised.”
Says Nene, even though she doesn’t look that surprised.
“I really am.”
She says like she read my mind, and Chris and Mia tell her what’s going on.
Nene quietly listens, and asks questions when they’re done.
“It’s done. Now I just need to wake those people up… You’ll do young lady. I’ll share some of my power.”
For some reason, he says that to Mia.
“Why Mia?”
I ask while Sera and I look at Nene.
I figured a beast god and a beast person would be a perfect match if he’s going to share his power.
“I chose her because she can use holy magic.”
As I think to myself that it’s strange, Stia explains it. He’s considerate, or I guess, honest.
“Also, I think she’s a vessel that can handle my power. You also have various divine protections, but divine power is dangerous. Someone could very well die the moment they receive it.”
I see. And since Mia became godlike, she can do that.
“…Also, well, don’t complain at me.”
“Hn? About what?”
“No, nothing. My power can also make her wish come true.”
Mia hears that, and tilts her head.
“Yes. Put out your hand.”
Stia puts out his hand, and Mia puts hers on it.
It’s like he’s telling her to shake…
Then Stia’s hand glows, and that light goes into Mia.
“Do you know how to use this power?”
“…Yes.”
“The healing is just your holy magic strengthened. And the other… Try doing it.”
Mia nods.
“Possession!”
She yells, and wolf hears appear on her head, along with a tail behind.
She looks just like a beast person.
“Big sister Mia looks like big sister Sera.”
Says Hikari as she looks Mia up and down.
“Your physical abilities are greatly increased in this state, and your body is also stronger. That should allow you to fight at close range, like you wanted.”
Mia checks her body as she hears this. But apparently she can’t hold this for very long, and she soon returns to normal.
“Well, it’s all about getting used to it, and you will slowly. And you’ll be able to hold it for longer. As for everyone else’s reward, go to the next room. There are ten treasure chests with things that should be useful.”
Apparently their contents are random, but change to match whoever opens them.
And it seems there are ten treasure chests even though Mia already received her reward, so the beast king and Figel don’t think it’s strange.
Since there are skill scrolls in treasure chests, we can just say she learned a skill that way.
“Well then, I guess I’ll also go to where the little one is.”
“You don’t have to stay here?”
“That’s not necessary anymore. Well, I will erase that stuff in the reference room though.”
He’s probably talking about the things written about the hundredth floor.
But I still have something to ask.
“Can I ask something?”
“Hn? What?”
“Was the fenrir on this floor strong because that’s just how fenrirs are, or is it because you were sealed inside it?”
“Fu, isn’t it obvious? Because I was in it.”
Says Stia, and he leaves the fenrir’s body.
I see a small white wolf that’s transparent, and doesn’t appear to have an actual physical body.
“Well, that’s what happens when my power is taken from me. I’ll take refuge in that bracelet for now. And miko, what you heard here and what you know is a secret.”
Is the last thing Stia says before disappearing into my bracelet.
And then time flows normally again.
“What happened?”
The beast king is moving again, and he’s looking at the dead fenrir.
It makes sense. What Mia did was cast a sort of healing spell, so of course he’s surprised to see it dead.
We don’t know what to say, but Nene explains. Which of course, isn’t the truth.
Then she says she received an oracle, and the beast king accepts it.
“Well, it’s actually dead.”
The beast king whispers, and he leads the way as he opens the door to the room in the back.

Thanks for the treat.
Thanks for the update, 😎👍
So that’s the real reason to clear the dungeons, those missing gods have all been sealed in the final floor,
Also if Mia gets a power-up with each dungeon clear she could become the new Goddess, oh well guess time will tell as long as the author keeps going with the story till the end.
