He bowed deeply to the woman who appeared fierce but was kind at heart, and his figure gradually faded into the illusory.
……
Underground city.
Eighteenth floor.
At the entrance to the man-made maze, a group of people stood, their expressions tense and conflicted. 740
After they finally broke through to the eighteenth floor, they were astonished to find that it was unusually quiet.
There wasn't a single monster, and the adventurers of Rivera Town had also vanished.
Yes, only the breathing mountains and forests.
But soon, the terrible truth hidden beneath the calm was revealed as the earth trembled.
Tree roots, which covered the entire floor, broke through the soil and rocks, raised their heads, and forcibly enclosed them.
In the very center, a straight path led to the man-made maze.
"What on earth is this..."
Just as Finn was hesitating, unsure whether he should get involved.
A voice devoid of emotion emanated from within the passageway.
"Scared?"
! !
Finn was startled. His movements were completely under the control of the other party, and this tone was probably not friendly!
He wanted to think it over some more, but Ota ignored everyone else and went in first.
"Hey you--"
"I'm not your subordinate."
The boar-man tossed out a sentence without turning his head, and his figure quickly disappeared.
"If we stay here, we can't do anything."
Ais's eyes flickered as she stared at the tall figure disappearing into the shadows.
"Come on, Finn, we can do it."
"I never thought that even a hero like myself would show weakness today."
Shaking his head and smiling wryly, Finn rallied his spirits and prepared himself for the final battle.
They started walking with their heads held high and entered the dark cave together.
The process was so brief.
But sometimes, it is precisely these fleeting moments that perfectly divide two eras.
364, you're already my plaything!
As they entered the man-made maze, the group felt increasingly awestruck as they moved forward.
On the eighteenth floor, which they knew so well, there was a structure of such scale. The exquisite wall and frame design clearly showed that it was the work of humankind.
But how exactly was this done?
Construction was carried out using an underground city that was essentially a living structure, consuming such a huge amount of precious materials, and it was done hundreds of meters underground.
The sheer difficulty of this series of challenges made Finn and his team feel like it was a pipe dream.
But the passageway in front of us was laid out openly before us.
Every step was taken on solid, flat bricks and stones; the interior of the building alone was enough to be considered first-class.
Strangely, many fine cracks are scattered throughout, which, while not messy, weaken the texture of the structure.
Most importantly, the astute adventurers seemed to sense something unusual within those walls.
Being in the passageway felt like being swallowed by a giant beast and falling into its body.
What they didn't know was that this place had just been completely destroyed by Eugene.
But soon, using Wood Release as an extension of himself, Eugene very cleverly transformed the man-made labyrinth into a whole that he could manipulate at will.
Hidden within those cracks are the giant vines he created.
He could crush these intruding ants with a single thought if he wanted to.
But that would be pointless.
The gladiators, finally assembled, are about to meet. Gods and demons, heroes and the dead, the past and the future—what sparks will these elements ignite? It's truly something to look forward to.
"Do you even know what you're doing?!"
On the other side, Astraea and Artemis continued to cry out. They had given him their divine power out of trust, but now he was to be blamed for bringing chaos to the world. Who could bear that?
But Eugene didn't care.
He gestured for them to be quiet, saying that an even more exciting scene was about to unfold.
However, this alone cannot stop the ladies from shouting and yelling.
Suppressing his inner turmoil, Eugene passed through the portal and emerged from the very center of the eighteen-layered labyrinth.
He had carved out a clearing here, which could serve as a new battleground.
Freya, who had been badly thrown to the ground, stood up with a slight tremor. When she saw her surroundings clearly, her heart, which had already sunk to the bottom, trembled violently once again.
In the center of the arena, an armored figure was kneeling on the ground.
Freya was all too familiar with his appearance.
It was Chaldo, the very person who had personally witnessed death that day!
"My lord, Alfia has arrived."
The man's voice was deep and resonant, perfectly matching the one in his memory. Through the vision of the gods, the once radiant soul was also completely identical.
He really brought the dead back to life and made them his own!
Manipulating life and death is an extremely rare ability even in the heavens. Now that Eugene has been able to summon Chardo to his own side, his power has once again shocked the goddess of love.
When the gray-haired woman emerged from the darkness, her figure and aura were even more astonishing.
The genius prodigy of the Hera Familia, the monster of talent, this dead person who should have belonged to the heavens, appeared before us unharmed!
What the hell is going on!
"So that's how it is. You are that deity."
Alfia opened her eyes, her gaze sweeping over Eugene.
Although she was surprised by his frivolous appearance, this extremely sacred aura, which dimmed any brilliance in the mortal world, was the true divine power of the heavens.
He is probably far superior to Hera.
Why have I never heard of such a person before?
“Miss Alfia, it’s a pleasure to meet you.”
Eugene nodded and bowed without any airs, but his next single sentence touched the woman's heart.
"It seems the Fallen Fairy Spirit has done a good job reshaping your body, but I suppose you have the same problem as that red-haired lady."
! !
Alfia raised her eyebrows slightly, then smiled with relief.
That's true. After all, they are gods, and the kind that can truly unleash divine power. How could mortals possibly hide it from them?
"Come out."
After calling out to the passageway behind her, Ruiweis, with a stern expression and a body full of resistance, quietly appeared.
“We meet again, Miss Revis.”
Eugene tilted his head and greeted her very familiarly, a familiar attitude that puzzled Eugene.
See you again?
"Ah, I was being presumptuous."
Eugene offered a perfunctory apology: "My lower body seemed to have acted a bit roughly earlier; I hope you don't mind."
Half-body? Brutal? What the heck?
Just as Ruiweis was about to complain about this guy's inexplicable behavior, a sudden, intense tremor ran through her heart.
At her chest, a jet-black energy bulged outwards, as if drawn by a magnetic pole, pointing straight toward Eugene!
This! This is that guy's doing! Why is it only half of my body?!
So that's how it is!
"You, you actually..."
Eugene chuckled lightly, raised his hand, and placed his five fingers on his face, revealing a pair of golden eyes filled with bestiality between his fingers—eyes that Rives would never forget, even if she were to be shattered to pieces!
"It's really you!!"
Clenching her teeth and arching her back, Ruiweisi's aura instantly surged to its peak.
To her, Eugene was always the enemy who had brought her utter defeat and humiliation, and no matter what his true nature was, this anger would never subside.
Unfortunately, without reaching Alphia's level, she could not easily comprehend the immense power of the gods.
Eugene didn't even move a finger; his eyes merely flickered slightly, and the predatory power that had once been injected into Revis's body, isolating her soul from the corrupted fairy's spiritual manipulation, began to tremble wildly.
In an instant, Rives felt as if all her internal organs and bones were about to detach from her body, and even her soul was shaken. All her senses were thrown into chaos in an instant!
vomit--
She collapsed to the ground, her limbs limp. Her body, capable of shattering rock walls, was unable to move even a finger. She kept gagging, looking like a fish that was about to dry up and die.
"Don't worry, I've prepared an even better opponent for you."
"After all, you can only wear the size of your bottom. A small horse like you is a bit too much for me to pull this big cart."
Releasing the suppression of his plundering power, he watched with a smile as Ruivis struggled to her feet (Zhao Ma's).
