Chapter 272 The Pillar of Light from Heaven Reappears, Shocking Orario
When Freya arrived, Thanatos was extremely flustered, but Valeta and Baka were unconcerned and thought their god was too cowardly!
"Gods who can't use their divine power are useless, coming here to die!" Valeta sneered.
Baka's eyes were bloodshot, revealing madness and rage. He would not run away. Affected by the curse of his ancestor Daedalus, if he could not build this labyrinth, he would rather die!
Sanatos is suffering, why can't he understand!
Freya unleashing her full power of beauty, it's not impossible for her to bewitch the entire Orario! How could a mere man-made maze possibly stop her?
"Baka, take care of her. As for the goddess of beauty, she can just die!" Valeta sneered.
Baka placed his hands on the control crystal. The allure of the goddess was indeed terrifying, but as long as he didn't meet her, he could use the trap of the artificial maze!
the other side.
Roy walked straight toward the control center of the artificial maze, surrounded by a growing number of people, eventually reaching several hundred.
Whether it's LV.4 or LV.5, Roy can control anyone with Freya's charm with just a glance, even monsters!
Freya's "beauty" transcends racial barriers!
The members of the dark faction instead became his protectors, acting as his guides, building bridges over rivers and clearing roads through mountains.
The labyrinth is full of traps, with countless arrows, poison gas, and mud pits—Daedalus, a craftsman from a thousand years ago, built this labyrinth to be a complete replica of the underground city, leaving nothing out.
But Roy doesn't even need to lift a finger; the members of the Dark Faction will take care of all the traps for him.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh! ! !
As the group entered a large hall, under Baka's control, in an instant, the entire field of vision was obscured by an expanding black cloud!
Hundreds upon hundreds of cold arrows tore through the air, accompanied by a chilling shriek. A rain of iron rained down, the arrowheads gleaming with a poisoned, eerie blue light, densely packed and layered upon layer.
This time!
A level 4 member of the Dark Faction shielded Roy behind him, his blade wreathed in magical light. With a gentle swing, a chilling blade of light flashed, and the resulting aura spread outwards from him.
The rain of arrows, as if hitting an invisible barrier, fell helplessly in all directions!
The group continued onward, only to encounter new traps, this time a nauseating, dark green fog.
Last time, the puppet Ota stormed in and poisoned several thousand people, so Baka has learned his lesson.
The poisonous gas surged like a foul tide erupting from the depths of hell, filling the entire space at a visible speed, etching ugly, honeycomb-like pits into the solid rock floor.
Behind Roy, a handsome young man raised his staff and chanted in a low voice, "In the pure name of Mother Nature, Undine—"
As he chanted the incantation, an incredibly complex and enormous magic circle, shimmering with emerald light, unfolded beneath his feet, isolating him from the deadly poisonous miasma surging in from all directions.
The arrows and poison gas did not harm Roy in the slightest; instead, they wiped out a large number of members of the Dark Faction, and their mournful screams echoed through the maze.
Rumble—!
As we entered the long, deep passage, a rumbling sound, like muffled thunder rolling across the earth's core, resounded.
A massive, dark boulder, over five meters in diameter with jagged edges, was so large that it almost filled the entire cross-section of the passage. It rolled down with the force to crush everything in its path, and the stone walls groaned and cracked under its brutal impact!
There was no escape in the long, narrow passage!
"Roar! Roar! Roar! Roar!"
A roar like that of a wounded beast exploded out, and a burly man as tall as an iron tower stepped forward. His bulging muscles were like red-hot irons, and he became a protective steel bulwark!
The rolling stone struck the burly man squarely.
That tall body trembled violently, tensed to the extreme, and the capillaries on the surface of the skin burst due to the terrifying pressure, turning him into a bloody mess!
But the boulder was held firmly in place. The strong man used all his strength to push it back, but when he entered the next passage, he died from exhaustion.
Seeing this, Valetta and Baka felt like they were about to explode. Damn it, these people usually valued their lives so much, yet they were giving 200% of their strength to protect Freya. This was too absurd!
Captured by Freya's allure, those people have become the goddess's puppets, her most loyal sycophants.
I'd give my life to protect Freya!
The sight of Freya sent chills down Valetta and Baka's spines as they vaguely realized how terrifying Freya was; she was no ordinary god!
As for the gate that descended, attempting to block Roy's path, it was also opened by the "Eye of Daedalus".
At this moment, Thanatos and Valetta were certain that the Eye of Daedalus that Ishtar had lost was taken by Freya, and that the Floor Master's rampage on the surface and his chaos in the Pleasure District was also Freya's conspiracy!
"Huff! Huff! Huff!"
They were breathing heavily and felt icy cold all over, as if they were bound by Freya's carefully woven web and had fallen into the deadly trap of this beautiful spider.
Roy's path ahead was clear!
Both members of the two clans and the monster were controlled by Freya's charm, and even the traps were useless against them. Baka's face turned cold, and only one last move was left!
He wouldn't want to use this method unless absolutely necessary, as it would greatly delay the construction of the artificial maze.
But we've reached this critical juncture!
Baka made a judgment: the man-made maze must not be taken away, and he gripped the control crystal tightly with both hands.
Rumble, rumble, rumble—!
An unusual tremor occurred, like the dying roar of a giant beast. Countless jagged cracks appeared on the solid ground beneath Roy's feet, spreading wildly in all directions at an alarming speed.
Roy frowned. So decisive. Baka, no wonder he was cursed by Daedalus.
The building collapsed!
Baka's last resort was to cause the entire floor to collapse and bury Freya. It was also the only move he could think of to deal with this goddess of beauty. If Freya were anywhere else, she would be invincible!
The rock layers and structures supporting the upper space shattered, and countless boulders the size of houses, broken giant crystal clusters, and even entire sections of rock ceiling, carrying the momentum to destroy everything, poured down and crashed indiscriminately downwards!
The entire floor collapsed!
Roy showed no fear or panic. He was currently identified as Freya and could not display his true strength, but he still had an item card!
[Invincible Time - Card Used, Two Remaining. Countdown: 10 — 9 — 8 — 7 —]
Roy's body radiated an intense, dazzling golden light, like a miniature golden sun!
Countless fine golden particles, exuding an aura of holiness and immortality, flowed and swirled rapidly, forming an absolute domain that isolated the entire world!
Rumble!
A massive rock, the size of a house, with sharp edges and carrying the force of a thousand pounds of falling air, slammed down on Roy's head.
With a "bang," the expected horrific scene of flying flesh and broken bones did not occur!
The massive rock, weighing hundreds of tons, exploded with a series of terrifying, dense cracking sounds as it came into contact with the seemingly soft golden particles on Roy's body.
The solid rock used to build the man-made maze, under the shock of the golden light, had countless spiderweb-like cracks crawl all over its body. The next moment, it disintegrated and shattered in the blinding golden light!
Roy, who was in the center, was bathed in golden light, and not even the hem of his clothes was disturbed.
Absolute defense, plus an invincible super armor that prevents movement—that's true invincibility!
Even after falling from a great height, he was completely unharmed!
"My Goddess, please!"
Bewitched members of the dark faction risked their lives to pave a path to the center of control.
Seeing the golden light covering Freya, Thanatos frowned. "Divine power?"
impossible!
Using divine power will automatically send you back to the heavens, and even Freya was no exception!
Even the collapsing floors couldn't stop Freya's advance. Valetta and Baka looked utterly dejected; this was an opponent they didn't know how to defeat!
"I see!"
Roy knew the other person was watching. His gaze swept around, knowing that even a fleeting eye contact would have an alluring effect that could penetrate the screen.
Through the crystal, as they met Freya's eyes, Baka and Valeta immediately realized something was wrong, but it was too late; their own eyes became glazed over.
Only Thanatos escaped unscathed.
Sanatos's lips twitched. Freya's allure was too much, even without face-to-face contact! He kicked Baka away, then turned off the control crystal, and the intense tremor in his heart finally dissipated.
"Ikelos, someone has broken in. Go and stop him. He's very close to you, only two passages apart." Sanatos took the communicator, trying to keep his voice as calm as possible.
"They really know how to order people around." Ikelos, in another room, didn't notice anything amiss.
Harming the gods is forbidden!
Therefore, when faced with an insurmountable enemy, having a deity step in to block them might bring unexpected good fortune.
But when Ikelos saw Roy disguised as Freya, he cursed Thanatos in his heart. How could anyone be so treacherous? They've been neighbors for so many years!
Ikeros revealed a smile that was more like a grimace. "Freya, I didn't expect you to take action personally."
"Return to the heavens, Ikelos!" Roy was too lazy to waste words with the other party, his eyes flashing with a sharp light.
Even a god could not resist Freya's allure. Ikeros, his face blank and eyes lifeless, walked out like a puppet. "Yes!"
Roy continued forward, brushing past Ikeros, and finally entered the most important control room.
While Ikelos was holding Roy back, Thanatos had already escaped through the back door with Valeta and Bacca and entered the dungeon.
Sanatos knew that only the dungeon could protect them from what was about to happen.
"Everyone, just commit suicide!"
Roy unleashed Freya's power of beauty to its fullest extent, his terrifying divine might causing the air to seem to freeze. He was enveloped in an eerie, dazzling purple glow, and his icy voice echoed throughout the vast man-made labyrinth through the transmitter in the control center.
The man-made labyrinth stretches from the first to the eighteenth level, housing all members of the dark faction, artisans under Baka's command, merchant guilds allied with them, and mercenary groups—
Regardless of their strength, their movements seemed to have been frozen in place, and the expressions on their faces instantly lost all vitality and will.
hum!
A chilling silence enveloped the labyrinth. Thousands upon thousands of people seemed to be intricate puppets manipulated by invisible threads, relaxing in unison. Their taut muscles lost their strength, becoming limp like melted wax, their eyes empty and unfocused, their pupils filled with a lifeless, deathly gray.
Those faces were stiff as stone sculptures, all emotions and willpower were completely erased, leaving only a terrifying and horrifying blankness!
After a brief, suffocating silence, the dormant volcano seemed to be instantly detonated!
"My beloved Lady Freya—!!"
"I offer my heart to Lady Freya!"
"Just kill yourself!"
Each person who is bewitched lets out a frenzied roar from deep within their throat, a roar powerful enough to tear through space and shake the soul, with a devotion akin to sacrificing one's soul.
Everyone became Freya's most loyal followers, carrying out her instructions without hesitation.
Without the slightest hesitation, without the slightest struggle!
*Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!*
A series of chilling, agonizing sounds of flesh being torn apart exploded densely across all floors of the man-made maze, like a distorted concerto!
Everyone frantically searched for any usable weapon, their arms brimming with resolute and insane strength, plunging the cold, sharp blades in their hands deep into their hearts or into their vulnerable temples!
In an instant!
Crimson fountains burst forth in the man-made maze, and warm blood gushed forth from countless fatal wounds that he himself had pierced!
The ground was stained into patches of glaring, sticky, deep red swamps, where viscous blood converged, flowed, and mingled, forming countless expanding, winding, and twisting blood-red streams that emitted a strong rusty smell.
The entire artificial maze fell silent.
The Dark Faction was almost completely wiped out!
In order not to destroy the man-made labyrinth, Ikelos returned to the surface and personally plunged a knife into his heart.
Suffering a fatal wound triggers divine power.
boom-!!!
The sacred and solemn pillar of light reappeared, tearing apart the sky of Orario. Its dazzling light dispelled the darkness and illuminated the land for hundreds of kilometers.
The gods, adventurers, and people were all awakened from their slumber, rushed out of their homes, and stared in awe at the sacred pillar that pierced the heavens and the earth. A trace of bewilderment and confusion lingered in everyone's eyes.
"Again?"
Just hours before, Ishtar had been returned to the heavens, and the roar of the pillar of light still faintly echoed in people's ears. Yet, the pillar of light returned by the gods had reappeared! The whole world fell silent, and Orario was plunged into a suffocating, unbelievable stillness.
The two gods were returned in a single day!
Apart from the incredibly fierce struggle a few years ago, such an event is extremely rare, even in the thousand-year history of Orario!
