"So heavy."

Hestia muttered under her breath.

Her fingers swirled around and touched the black and blue holographic lights floating above  Bell's back.

When Hestia accessed Bell's falna to update his status.

There was an overwhelming amount of excelia that she needed to process and turn into Bell's strength.

'The numbers keep on going up at a rapid pace.'

Bell's status kept increasing at an alarming rate that it had almost left her tongue-tied from confusion.

And it was not just Bell's absurd status rise that left her stunned.

'So what he said was all real, thank goodness Bell did not go crazy.'

A wave of relief washed all over her body, one special feature of the falna system in Danmachi is that their patron gods could see or feel almost everything from the point of view of their adventurers.

Sometimes Hestia would write down Bell's experiences in a book, a book that she only had the right to read.

The pages were still mostly blank probably because it was still in the beginning phase of Bell's adventure.

'Amazing, a whole new world, if those bored gods would catch wind of this, I bet they would jump ship pretty quickly.'

The memories of Meliodas flooded inside her head, well it was mostly the memories of Meliodas that Bell had managed to see.

Nevertheless, she saw just enough to get the gist of Meliodas' character.

She wore an astonished expression on her face, Meliodas' world itself, how different their system was, the unique races that she had never seen before, and the adventures that Meliodas went through.

Pretty much everything about Meliodas' world shocked her.

'I had no idea that there is a completely different world from ours, the existence of another world... Are there more out there?'

Hestia thought.

After the moving images in her head stopped playing, a tear fell on her cheeks.

'This guy, he had been through so much.'

Meliodas' story alone was way more interesting and heart-wrenching than any other stories that she had read or heard about in her world.

Sorrow, suffering, bliss, happiness, tragedy, hope, friendship, family, destruction, and love.

She could feel all types of emotions just from learning about Meliodas' story.

3000 plus years of Meliodas' life had mostly been a cycle of pain from the curse that he and his lover had suffered until they eventually had their happy ending when they defeated the Demon King.

Unfortunately, that happiness did not last long until the Supreme Deity came into the picture.

It broke her heart knowing that Meliodas was separated once more from his lover.

'If Bell and I were to experience the same... will we have been able to...'

She shook her head and refused to think about it any further.

She couldn't imagine going through the same thing, if Bell was taken away from her, she too would feel immense sorrow.

'It's amazing how Meliodas remained smiling all this time, if it were anyone else, they would've been broken by now.'
