Chapter 437 A Method to Plunge the Lower Realm into Eternal Chaos
Sixty-five floors, the Glacier Realm.
The Freya Familia members, led by Hedin, along with girls from the Astrea Familia such as Daphne and Lefia, were all defeated and lost their threat.
Cassandra's "mischief" was just a minor incident.
All eyes were on Roy.
With time running out, Roy, now at LV.8 and equipped with spatial magic, is the only one who can return to the surface as soon as possible and defeat Dionysus.
Ordinary people might hesitate to urge them due to Cassandra's "prophecy," but the people present were different. Having teetered on the brink of life and death countless times within the dungeon, they had no need for sentimentality!
"Roy, go! We'll catch up as soon as possible!" Finn said. No matter what traps lay on the ground, they wouldn't let Roy face them alone.
"Roy, we'll fight too!"
Riveria, Ais, Tione, Haruhime, Leon, and the others looked serious. The task of rescuing the gods could not be placed entirely on Roy's shoulders. Even if it cost them their lives, they would rush forward as soon as possible.
Ryuna reached out her cool, soft little hand and grasped Roy's large hand. "Be careful!"
Her clear, cold voice trembled slightly as she bit her lip, revealing an unconcealable worry on her beautiful, moon-like face.
"Okay, don't worry!"
Feeling the gentle strength and cool touch from his palm, Roy smiled confidently and comforted her. Others might not know, but the elven girl in front of him couldn't possibly be unaware of just how powerful he was at this moment.
Reaching LV.8, spatial magic, numerous skills and spells, and acquiring the Quasi-God-level Armed Elf Holy Sword —
Cassandra's prophetic dreams will surely come true.
But no matter what traps Dionysus sets, Roy will thwart his schemes!
Transfer to a higher position!
The magic was activated, and spatial fluctuations engulfed Roy's figure, instantly teleporting him back to the exit of the sixty-fourth floor. His figure quickly entered the sixty-fourth floor and continued to teleport, crossing a floor in just a few breaths.
Sixty-three floors — ten floors — tenth floor — second floor — fifty floors —
Using the properties of the "Dragon Pot," Roy quickly passed through eight floors. The moment he returned to the forty-ninth floor, the power of the earth took effect, opening a large hole leading directly to the first floor, and he leaped up like a rocket.
Roy quickly overtook Ota, Alexie, and the others, and was the first to rush out of the underground city and return to the surface.
Before Roy could even breathe a sigh of relief, a magnificent aura suddenly erupted, and a pillar of light rose from the sky.
boom!
A pure white beam of light rose from not far away, piercing straight into the sky. It brutally tore through and pierced the layers of oppressive, heavy leaden-gray clouds, connecting the sky and the earth.
Endless divine light poured down.
The entire dark sky was illuminated by that beam of light.
Such a spectacular phenomenon instantly attracted the attention of countless people. Whether in the nearby city or on the horizon hundreds of kilometers away, everyone who could see this sky involuntarily stopped what they were doing and looked up at the pillar of light in the sky with endless shock and awe.
Everyone knows that it was the last and most glorious miracle left behind by the gods when they left the mortal realm!
Dionysus was not joking. When the five minutes were up, he showed no mercy and pushed a pleading god off the top of the Tower of Babel. The god was fatally wounded, triggering his divine power.
The first unlucky god was sent back to heaven!
"Dionysus, how dare you!"
"Waaaah, don't push me down!"
"We're best buddies!"
Terrified, frightened, and hysterical screams echoed above the Tower of Babel, faintly audible to those below, sending a chill down their spines.
At this moment, the gods have become lambs to the slaughter!
Within this vast playground of the lower realm, the gods are forbidden from using their divine power; whoever possesses the strongest influence and retinue holds the upper hand.
In the kingdom of Lachia, Ares plundered countless subordinate gods through war. If he was ever unhappy, he would return a few of the gods as a form of amusement.
The rules differ between different regions.
Orario is a city of heroes where gods and mortals live in harmony. Unless something like a "great rebellion" occurs, very few gods are sent back to the heavens.
Dionysus, on the other hand, tore off his long-held mask of pretense, revealing his ferocious fangs.
Roy felt relieved when he saw that the favor on his back was normal; it wasn't Astraea who had been returned.
When Roy saw the pillar of light from the sky, he was also startled. Unbeknownst to him, his goddess had already occupied an extremely important place in his heart.
Seeing the pillar of light from the sky made Roy even more determined to deal with Dionysus, that mad god, as soon as possible, otherwise his goddess would be next.
"call!"
Roy exhaled a breath of stale air, a trace of fatigue flashing deep in his eyes. Dealing with Hedin and the others was not difficult, but the battle with the Filthy Immortal and the Slaughtering Emperor had consumed a lot of physical and mental energy.
They returned to the surface in minutes at lightning speed, but with an even heavier burden.
"Gurgle—gurgle—"
Roy took out a bottle of legendary celestial elixir from his spatial ring. After drinking it, his physical and mental strength were greatly restored, and his eyes became bright and piercing.
When Roy arrived at Babel Tower Square.
As far as the eye could see, this wide plaza had been transformed into a battlefield of carnage, with countless adventurers lying dead in pools of blood and ruins, their heart-wrenching cries of pain and intermittent, desperate groans rising and falling.
"Aaaaaaaahhhhh!"
Many adventurers were covered in gruesome wounds, with severed limbs and mangled bodies scattered everywhere. Blood soaked through the bricks and stones beneath their feet, staining the earth crimson.
Those who chose to stand up in order to stop Dionysus either died or were injured.
Even though these people were not of high rank, they did not yield to the threats of Dionysus, Philweis, and Rives, but instead persisted in their resistance.
Even low-level adventurers have backbone.
"Commander!"
A faint call reached Roy's ears. He turned his head and saw the figures of Tiona, Anya, Chloe, and Lunova. The four girls were injured to varying degrees and were barely breathing.
Tiona felt guilty. "Captain, I'm sorry, those three bastards ran up there, and I couldn't stop them!"
Anya said, "Meow, you're so useless."
"You've done your best!"
Roy threw several bottles of the Elixir of Heaven over, taking advantage of Dionysus's unpreparedness. Dionysus was well-prepared, and Tiona and Anya were no match for him.
Tiona, Anya, Chloe, and Lunova drank the elixir of heaven and quickly recovered.
"Alright, with the captain here this time, I'm going to teach that guy a lesson!" Tiona rubbed her hands together, eager for a fight.
Anya became even more agitated and started breathing heavily.
Transfer to a higher position!
With Tiona and Anya in tow, Roy cast a spell, and spatial fluctuations engulfed their figures.
The next moment, ripples spread out like water, and Roy and his two companions arrived at the thirtieth floor of the Tower of Babel. Their figures solidified and they emerged from it.
What comes into view are the many gods of Orario.
The two sides stared at each other, and a brief silence fell over the hall, followed by thunderous cheers.
"It's Roy!"
"Madman, we've finally waited for you!"
"Waaaaah, our great hero who saved us!"
The gods wept bitterly, which shows how terrified they had been, with Dionysus's scythe constantly at their throats.
Being sent back to the Heavenly Realm is entirely up to the other party's whim!
Roy's gaze swept over the gods present: Loki, Hermes, Hephaestus—but he didn't see the most familiar figure—Asteria.
Similarly, Dionysus was not seen!
Roy suddenly had a bad feeling.
call!
Suddenly, a loud whooshing sound came from behind, and golden lightning surged wildly around Roy.
Golden lightning transformed into countless lightning spears gleaming with dangerous light, and a torrential golden rain, accompanied by ear-ripping shrieks, shot densely towards the attackers.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
As Revis attempted to ambush Roy, a cold glint flashed in her eyes, which were filled with savagery and killing intent. Her figure transformed into a twisted, blood-red phantom.
She darted through the dense golden thunderstorm at incredible speed, dodging one lightning bolt after another.
The missed lightning spear slammed heavily onto the ground.
The terrifying explosion tore apart the hard stone bricks of the hall, creating countless wide, charred craters, with debris and dust shooting into the sky like fountains.
Dodging all the lightning spears skillfully, Revis advanced instead of retreating, and in the blink of an eye, her figure narrowly escaped the rain of lightning spears, closing in on Roy.
"roar!"
The twisting, writhing green flesh on Revis's arm solidified and extended, transforming into a gigantic sword emanating a thick, pungent stench and a filthy sheen, which cleaved toward Roy's head with terrifying wind pressure capable of crushing mountains.
Roy glanced at Revis, his figure shifting almost imperceptibly to the side like a ghost, the broad sword grazing his skin.
boom!
The sword cleaved the floor of the hall with a devastating blow.
After dodging, Roy's right leg, crackling with golden lightning, swept towards Revis's temple like a steel whip, so fast that Revis couldn't react in time.
Roy kicked hard, then suddenly increased the force of his kick.
Bang!
The terrifying force slammed in, and Revis's head violently swung to the side, producing a dull, chilling sound of skull impact. Her eyes were bloodshot and rolled back, and she was sent flying backward.
With violent kinetic energy, Rives's body slammed heavily against the hard rock wall behind her, and with a loud "boom," the solid rock caved in.
"Ugh!"
Rives let out a violent roar, her blood-stained green flesh patching her wounds as she twisted violently, struggling to break free from the crater in the rock wall.
"You're really strong. Among the people I've met, you're easily in the top five," Revis said with apprehension.
Standing before the immortal gods, Revis's words sounded incredibly arrogant; a mortal's lifespan and knowledge were insignificant compared to those of the gods.
Only Roy knew that the other party was not boasting.
The true identity of the red-haired monster Revis is an adventurer from over nine hundred years ago, a member of the Alexios Familia, whose real name is "Revinas Dolda". She is an elf and died unexpectedly in a dungeon, where she was captured by the tainted fairy. However, she is different from ordinary monsters.
Dungeon monsters and freaks also have lifespan limits.
The body of Rives, which had been transformed into a monster, was already dead. Her soul was forcibly implanted into a magic stone by the filthy fairy spirit and split into seven smaller magic stones.
Within the dungeon, each time the Filthy Fairy discovers a corpse whose soul is compatible with hers, she buries a magic stone within it, giving birth to a new Rives.
Over the centuries, five "Rives" have died while serving the filthy fairies.
Ais and Riveria encountered Number Six, Revis, the red-haired monster before them. With nearly a thousand years of memories and having witnessed countless heroes within the dungeon, Revis possessed the confidence to utter those words.
"You brat, kill this guy for me, and I'll do anything you ask!"
Loki's face was frosty, his eyes coldly fixed on Revis. She hadn't forgotten that it was this very man who had lured her child, causing Ais to fall into the abyss.
"Roy, she's just a guard left behind. Astraea and Hestia have been taken to the top floor of the Tower of Babel!" Hermes said urgently.
The gods quickly informed Roy of the information.
A dozen or so gods, including Astraea and Hestia, were taken to the top of the Tower of Babel by Dionysus and Phileves. Rives stayed behind to guard these imprisoned gods.
Upon learning that Astraea was not there, Roy had no intention of staying any longer. However, before that, he needed to deal with her. He looked at Revis with a cold glint in his eyes.
Transfer to a higher position!
Roy's figure vanished instantly, without any warning, and he suddenly appeared in front of Revis.
They didn't give the other party any time to react at all!
Roy's golden lightning coalesced, forming a surging ball of lightning in his palm, which pressed forward, engulfing the nearby Rives in destructive lightning.
scoff!
Accompanied by the terrifying reverberation of burning thunder and exploding energy, terrifying golden lightning raged wildly.
Rives's body trembled violently.
"i图客客客客客客," a pitiful scream echoed throughout the hall.
All the green flesh on her body turned charred and carbonized. The pungent smell of burning and blood mixed with the ozone smell of thunder filled the air. In an instant, she was burned into a pitch-black charcoal by the lightning.
Completely paralyzed and unable to move, Ruiweis stared blankly at Roy, her eyes filled with astonishment. It was too fast! The power of this magic was LV.8!
The remnants of the party from hundreds of years ago may seem impressive, but in reality, Revis's combat capabilities are extremely weak.
This body is not her original body!
Depending on the compatibility between the soul and the body, only those with extremely high compatibility may be able to acquire some of the abilities, skills, and magic they possessed in their previous life.
In most cases, Rives is just a blank slate LV.7 with a weird physique.
This is why she has been unable to succeed despite constantly causing trouble for the Loki Familia. A level 7 with no experience can only bully lower-level beings by relying on combat experience and stats. Even before the three leaders of the Loki Familia were promoted to level 7, they could still handle them together.
Roy killed them as easily as slaughtering chickens and sheep!
Before the lightning had completely dissipated, Roy swung his elven holy sword, the cold blade flashing rapidly across the charred and twisted body.
Swish!
The charred body, weakened and vulnerable by the lightning, was utterly no match for the unparalleled sharpness of the elven holy sword. It was instantly torn apart into countless charred fragments of varying sizes, emitting blue smoke, mixed with lingering golden arcs of lightning, which scattered and flew in all directions.
Number Six, Rives, vanished into thin air!
Meanwhile, atop the Tower of Babel.
Dionysus, according to the time he set, pushed a god down from this height and sent him back to the heavens. A hint of pleasure couldn't help but appear on his face. The god's followers must be in great pain now, their grace sealed. If they were in the underground city, they would be in even more misery, torn apart by irrational monsters.
This is exactly the chaos and evil he has always sought!
But that's not enough!
Since he began to focus on the lower realms, his sole goal has been to plunge this beautiful world into eternal chaos, and now he has found a new way to do so.
Dionysus said, "Uranus, I will use the Mirror of God; you have no other choice!"
Through the stolen eye crystal, Dionysus's voice reached the underground prayer room of the guild headquarters, falling into the ears of the old god and Fels.
"Dionysus, what is this guy—" Fels clenched his fist. The news of Dionysus kidnapping the gods had naturally already reached here.
Fels was quite helpless about this.
As a renowned sage, his specialty is making magical items. Even with those gadgets, his combat power does not exceed LV.6. It is impossible for him to stop Philvis, who is LV.8.
They could only watch as Dionysus did as he pleased.
Uranus responded, "I grant permission!"
"Uranus?"
Upon hearing this, Fels exclaimed in surprise and resentment, "Are we just going to let him run wild like this?"
On the towering prayer platform, Uranus closed his eyes to rest. "This may not be a bad thing. Orario is the city of heroes, so this situation is to be expected. Heroes need new trials—"
"What exactly did Dionysus want to do?"
Fels looked at Uranus with a serious expression. This old god had probably seen through Dionysus's intentions; this was a wisdom beyond his reach.
Uranus did not answer Fels, but said softly, "Time is running out. If they cannot overcome this crisis, they will be even less able to protect this city in the face of future calamities. After all, the Underworld is—no matter what, I will believe in the children of the Underworld!"
Hearing Uranus's heavy tone, Fels trembled inwardly. This was truly hellish!
"Hahahaha!"
With Uranus's permission, Dionysus laughed wildly and waved his hand, unleashing boundless power that spanned the void and formed divine mirrors throughout the city.
The crystal-clear mirror presents the scenery atop the Tower of Babel with remarkable realism, making viewers feel as if they are actually there.
"The Divine Mirror!"
Sensing the familiar presence, the people of Orario abruptly raised their heads, their pupils reflecting the divine mirror, gradually gaining a clearer understanding of the chaotic situation.
Dionysus, the evil god, has taken the gods hostage!
Dionysus's voice echoed throughout Orario through the divine mirror: "Freya, do not approach the Tower of Babel, or I cannot guarantee the safety of these gods."
On the surface of the earth, the only thing that could threaten him was that stunningly beautiful goddess.
Even a level 8 Phil Weiss would be instantly captivated.
Are you threatening me?
Freya, who was maintaining order in the city, said coldly that she could be a naive and love-struck fool in front of Roy, but others did not have this privilege.
"No, this is a request!"
Dionysus smiled gently. "The upper level of the Tower of Babel has been covered with a large number of fire stones, which could potentially cause an explosion. I don't want you to get hurt."
While seemingly acting in Freya's best interests, Dionysus made no attempt to conceal the threatening intent in his words.
If Freya dares to get close, he will detonate the Firestone. If a massive collapse occurs, Freya will be crushed to death. Charm has no effect on inanimate objects.
Dionysus, knowing even that Freya was not afraid of death, added, "Asteria, Hestia—these gods are all here!"
If anything were to happen to these gods because of her, Freya would never be able to gain Roy's favor in this lifetime, a fact that Dionysus astutely saw through.
"Dionysus!"
A shadow of gloom crossed Freya's stunningly beautiful face. Had she known this would happen, she would have definitely ground this guy to dust before. "What exactly do you want?"
Dionysus grinned maniacally, "Freya, ultimate chaos will descend upon this world!"
Dionysus and Freya's conversation, transmitted through the Mirror of God, resounded throughout the city, plunging the vast city of Orario into a deathly silence.
Looking at Dionysus's utterly deranged face, a chill ran through everyone.
The other person is already engrossed in their own world!
"Hahahaha!"
Dionysus, with his bloodshot eyes, after countless years of contemplation, finally understood the essence of humanity and discerned its most fatal weakness.
This weakness will ultimately lead to the destruction of the Nether!
Human lifespan is finite; these children's bodies will perish, but the human will will continue to be passed down!
Zeus and Hera's kin developed in the lower realm for hundreds of years. Maxim, Chardo, and the Empress inherited the will of their predecessors and successfully defeated Leviathan, the king of the sea, and Behemoth, the king of the land.
When the Familia of Zeus and Hera were destroyed, Otto and Leon learned the technique of "Residual Light" from them and inherited their will. As a result, forces such as the Familia of Freya, the Familia of Loki, and the School District rose to prominence.
Following this, the Astrea Familia rose to prominence, and Roy, Ryu, and Ais learned the "Residual Light".
The yearning for a better future is like a bond that binds generation after generation, but there are always those who choose to take up the baton and keep moving forward.
He wants to completely destroy the legacy of this will!
Dionysus slowly turned his head and looked at the boy who was climbing the stairs step by step.
"Roy, let's play a guessing game!"
