Chapter 393 An Unshakeable Soul (Bonus Chapter)
Freya's request for food was just a minor incident for everyone, allowing them time to recover and regain their energy.
Rumble!
Roy took out the Daedalus Orb, and a streak of blood shot into the gem embedded above the orb-forged gate. With a roar, the gate slowly opened.
The man-made maze has not been completely assimilated by Scorpio Andaris; it still retains the power to open doors.
All the scorpion larvae behind were blocked.
With Roy joining the team, the difficulty of the challenge dropped dramatically, allowing the group to proceed smoothly into the depths.
This change left Fels, Ota, Freya, and even Hermes and Uranus, who were far away on Earth, in disbelief.
The special ability to store supplies, the precious gem that controls man-made mazes, spatial magic—just how many more mind-blowing methods does that boy possess?
"Hahahahaha!"
Hermes laughed heartily, his voice echoing throughout the prayer room. His gaze burned as he stared intently at the crystal, his heart brimming with pride. Even if only Roy remained, he believed that Roy could save this "city of heroes"!
The reason is simple: he is a miracle worker, just like Albert a thousand years ago!
Uranus stared silently at the eye crystal, his face as calm as ever, but the tremor and ripples in his heart were no less than those in Hermes.
Astraea's soft fingers intertwined tightly with Roy's. "Roy, Artemis—"
Roy nodded slightly. "Mm."
Astraea's remaining words stuck in her throat, her eyes dimming. She had already anticipated this, but she was unwilling to face the answer.
At that moment, Roy tightened his grip on her hand, his unwavering will seemingly shattering the goddess's anguish through their intertwined fingers.
Astraea subconsciously raised her head slightly.
What came into view was Roy's powerful and confident smile, and an unprecedented sense of warmth and security filled her heart.
"I understand!" Astraea smiled, trusting the amazing boy before her.
Swish!
Although the craftsman Daedalus wanted to create something that surpassed the dungeons, it was impossible. The artificial labyrinth clearly lacked the power of the dungeons—it hindered Roy's ability to transfer between levels.
Roy led his team, and after several transfers, they easily arrived at the location of Scorpio Andaris's main body, in the hall on the fifteenth floor of the man-made maze.
The heretics were stopped by the enhanced species on the sixteenth floor, and were overwhelmed by the large amount of magic.
Ais, Fels, and Freya were about to explode. What was the point of all that hard work and fighting for dozens of hours? As soon as Roy arrived, he took them directly to the enemy's territory.
Even Ota experienced facial muscle twitching.
I encountered a cheater, and despite my best efforts, I couldn't defeat him!
That being said, they still need to pursue Roy, since who can guarantee he'll make it in time? It's foolish to pin their hopes on others.
After calming down, everyone looked at the culprit behind all this—Scorpio Andaris himself.
Roar!
In the vast hall, the monster finally revealed a posture that would make even the gods tremble.
It has a purple carapace as hard as iron, sharp teeth, two huge pincers that move with ferocity, and a long tail and venomous stingers behind it.
He exudes a black aura unique to divine assassins. Ordinary people have no reaction, but only gods feel a fear that comes from the depths of their souls!
The dungeon's revenge against the gods!
Bang!Bang!Bang!
It wasn't particularly large, about the size of a two-story house, but the entire floor was assimilated by it, and the walls were covered with eerie dark purple patterns. The scorpion larvae were born like fruits growing on a tree.
The most eerie sight is on its chest, where the Grim Reaper Thanatos lies quietly.
His body was encased in a crystal-clear amethyst that exuded an ominous chill, with an eerie halo flowing within, reflecting on Thanatos's lifeless face, which seemed to be in eternal sleep, emanating a suffocating stillness and unease.
That's the root of this turmoil!
Strangely, only Thanatos saw Artemis being swallowed.
When Roy and the others saw Scorpion Andaris, the latter also noticed them. This monster did not have the intelligence of the heretics, but was cunning by nature.
The irrational Andaris led a dense swarm of scorpion larvae in an attack.
"Eternal struggle, the Thunder Soldiers will never perish!"
"—Satisfy me, pierce me, annihilate me as proof! My thirsty blade is named Hippolyta!"
"Unify the land, conquer with divine might!"
The chanting sounds emanating from the numerous larvae of Scorpion filled every corner of the entire floor, creating a kind of noise that could cause mental pollution.
Roy, on the other hand, wanted to show them what noble, chantless magic and chantless slashing were all about.
That's how magical clashes work; it's just like a gunfight—whoever strikes first wins.
In this respect, no one is faster than Roy!
Afterglow + Blazing Flame + Overlord Strike!
The elven holy sword in Roy's hand was wreathed in crimson flames, transforming into a blurry phantom. Its surging slashes intertwined wildly like raging thunder and torrential rain, pouring out in all directions.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
In an instant, the entire battlefield was dominated by Roy's afterglow slash. Those fearless and surging scorpion larvae, upon contact with the slash, vanished like fragile ceramics!
The scorpion larvae that were hiding in the back and trying to chant magic were not spared either.
Precise and ruthless flame-colored slashes pierced through the chaotic battlefield, shredding the scorpion larvae and their unfinished magic into countless flying fragments.
boom!!
The crisscrossing, destructive sword marks ravaged the battlefield, mercilessly tearing apart anything in their path, from surging swarms of insects to solid walls.
The roar was deafening, and the entire floor trembled and howled under Roy's sword.
Everyone stared in disbelief at the scene.
Thanks to various conditions, Roy, like Leon, can use "Afterglow" as a basic attack, while Otto and Ais have to use it based on magic.
Ota, Ais, and Tiona realized what was happening and quickly joined the battle, even though they were about to lose all their kills.
As the afterglow of Roy's final strike faded.
What lay before me was a suffocating mess. The earth was etched with countless deep, bone-revealing trenches, dust filled the air, and the surviving, missing limbs and limbs of scorpion larvae covered every inch of the ground.
The entire floor looked as if it had been ravaged by a natural disaster!
Roy's devastating "Afterglow" was so terrifying that even Scorpio Andaris, the embodiment of nightmares, felt a primal sense of dread.
Ripples spread silently through the space!
Roy's figure tore through space and appeared directly in front of Scorpio Andaris's menacing compound eyes.
This divine assassin was incredibly fast; its venomous tail stinger, accompanied by a piercing shriek that seemed to pierce mountains, transformed into a purple-black afterimage as it stabbed straight at Roy's chest.
clang!
Roy swung his elven holy sword upwards with a fierce strike. As it made contact with the poisonous stinger, a loud clang of metal rang out, sparks flew everywhere. As he deflected the poisonous stinger, golden lightning surged from his other hand and slammed it hard into Andaris's chest armor, causing it to explode with charred cracks.
The blast sent the monster staggering backward.
Aside from successfully devouring the two gods, in terms of actual ability, Scorpio Andaris is inferior to the ice dragon "Imir" that Roy encountered in the north, at most LV.7.
The result was predictable.
Tiona let out a sharp cry and charged forward, seizing the opening where Roy had knocked her back, and smashed her iron fist, imbued with monstrous strength, onto Andaris's head.
boom!
Tiona felt like her little fist had hit a piece of steel, and she couldn't help but grit her teeth, "So hard!"
Immediately afterwards, Ota's attacks followed.
His fist, the size of a clay pot, carried unparalleled brute force, like a giant hammer pounding a city gate, slamming solidly into Andaris's side. The terrifying force knocked the behemoth back several steps, carving a deep trench in the ground.
The most eye-catching was Ais. With the skill "Revenge Princess" activated, her blade reached its sharpest point; a cold, golden light flashed past in an instant—*swoosh!*
Andaris's massive scythe-like claws were cleanly and neatly severed at the root by this sword, and purplish-black blood gushed out from the cut like a waterfall bursting its banks.
Fels didn't even have a chance to make a move. Although he was known as the "Sage" and was considered the best in the world at making magical items, his combat power was not enough for high-level matches.
"Roar!" The severely injured Scorpion Andaris let out a furious roar that tore at his eardrums!
The smooth progress of the battle brought smiles to everyone's faces.
However, the next moment, the crystal that imprisoned Death suddenly shone with an eerie silver light.
A familiar, unsettling aura spread out, followed by countless energy arrows, condensed to the point of being tangible and shimmering with a cold, moonlit glow, instantly coalescing in front of it, carrying a terrifying power capable of destroying stars, locking onto everyone present!
"That's Artemis's power, be careful!" Astraea shouted.
The arrow moved in the next instant!
Like a meteor shower, it shot out, and everyone's resistance was as fragile as paper in the face of this pure divine power. The terrifying pressure made people's souls tremble.
The actions taken by the people were different.
Ota ran back to Freya's side. Having learned his lesson, he would not put the goddess in danger again, and used his body to shield her from the attack.
boom! boom! Boom!
Devastating explosions rang out one after another!
Even the formidable Ota was struck head-on by an arrow; his seemingly indestructible chest caved in, and he crashed into a distant wall, kicking up a cloud of dust.
Ais's Despair Sword, which possessed the attribute of being "indestructible," was struck by the arrow of God and shattered instantly, sending fragments flying. Ais herself was also shaken so badly that she spat out blood.
Fels's clay figurines have vanished without a trace; if converted into money, they would amount to more than a hundred billion falies!
Transfer to a higher position!
Spatial fluctuations appeared; no matter how powerful Roy was, in such a short time, he could only save Astraea.
Tiona and Cassandra.
The faces of the crowd were deathly pale. Even though they were all seasoned veterans and incredibly powerful, they all seemed so pale and powerless in the face of divine power.
Roy's expression was solemn. He had personally experienced Hades' divine power in the underworld.
Divine power is something that doesn't make sense!
Even if they could only use one ten-millionth of the power of the two gods, it would be enough to kill them, to crush them! An absolute crushing power! There was no suspense whatsoever!
Roy was also unable to confront them head-on.
"Thor's Light!"
With tears in her eyes, Cassandra raised her staff, and a dazzling magical light descended upon everyone.
However, their wounds healed very slowly, not because Cassandra, the LV.6 healer, was ineffective, but because the arrows carried the aura of death.
call out!
Arrows wrapped in moonlight reappeared on Scorpio Andaris's body, densely packed, forming an impenetrable protective barrier. Once fired, their power was earth-shattering.
Roy frowned. Should he use Gungnir or a LV.9 trial card? But another question troubled him: What about Artemis?!
This Andaris only contains Sanatos.
"My divine body is not here," Artemis's psychic voice echoed in Roy's mind.
"Yeah, I know!" Roy replied.
Intuitive!
Roy thought of the gods whose souls had been stolen and who were scattered throughout Orario. Why didn't Scorpion Andaris devour them all? Was it because he didn't want to?
Perhaps it's impossible!
Just as Roy figured this out...
The monstrous beast that devoured gods erupted in a maniacal, shrill laugh, "Hehehehehehehehe!"
Its victory is already unshakeable!
The artificial maze is fair; Roy can use a superior teleportation technique to get here at an extremely fast speed, while Scorpio Andaris can also freely use his powers.
At his chest, the crystal that imprisoned Thanatos, the god of death, emitted a black light that devoured everything!
The power of death was activated, black mist surged wildly, and endless death aura solidified into a giant scythe phantom that spanned the heavens and the earth, upon which flowed a terrifying divine power that stripped away life.
Upon seeing this, everyone's expression changed drastically.
The Moon Goddess Arrow Formation serves as an invincible barrier, while the Death God's power is the scythe that reaps countless lives!
The Scorpio in front of me is a genuine monster!
The Grim Reaper's scythe was like a blade, like mist, elusive and unpredictable. Its shadow swept across silently, without any earth-shattering explosion, only the stillness of life being taken away.
The resulting effects were even more appalling.
thump!
Ota Shuang turned into two pools of dead ashes, his towering body crashing to his knees, never to be heard again.
The swirling blue storm around Ais dissipated like bubbles, and her figure fell like a bird with broken wings, the broken Sword of Despair slipping from her hand and embedding itself in the rocky ground.
Tiona, Cassandra, Astraea, and Freya collapsed to the ground, as if all their strength had been drained.
"Even I can't resist?" Fels collapsed to the ground, truly living up to his omnipotent divine power.
The souls of the seven were instantly reaped by Death!
"hateful!"
Seeing this, Hermes on the surface looked grim. He should have realized it sooner; that cunning divine assassin was toying with them, just like the underground city.
The Scythe of Death can cover the entire Orario, so there's no reason why it can't reap the entire man-made labyrinth in one fell swoop!
That monster was just playing on instinct!
"Hehehehehehehe!" As Scorpion Andaris saw Ota and the others fall one by one, his laughter became even sharper. The game was over, and it was his victory.
Clang!
Fels's eye crystal fell to the ground, landing squarely on the boy who was still standing on the earth.
Uranus and Hermes were startled. Could it be that even the power of death could not affect him?
Scorpio Andaris's laughter abruptly stopped.
Staring at the boy in front of it, a hint of surprise appeared in its pair of ferocious and arrogant compound eyes.
When the scythe of death touched Roy, Andaris's consciousness fell into an indescribable void.
Scorpio Andaris's head swayed from side to side in confusion. Where was he? He couldn't understand why he couldn't reap the other's soul!
In the center of this unimaginable realm, Roy was no longer a human boy, but had transformed into an ancient, towering figure that filled the universe.
Those eyes looking down.
There was no anger, no contempt, only a calm and indifference that could freeze the soul of a Scorpio.
It was as if its nightmare of destroying the city was nothing more than a speck of dust drifting in the wind in the eyes of the other party.
fear!
The terror originating from the deepest level of the life lineage instantly overwhelmed its will like a raging storm in an icy sea.
But what truly shook its soul was!
In the depths of this eerie void, within Roy's very being and soul essence, it detected a familiar aura so profound it made it grovel—
The "Mother" dungeon! It is the source that breeds countless monsters and nourishes all darkness, and now it manifests in humanity, overturning all its understanding.
Godslayer! Mother's Dungeon!
This caused chaos in the underlying code!
The phantom of the scythe vanished silently upon touching Roy's body, like a bubble thrown into nothingness.
"Gaga gaga gaga————"
Andaris's massive body trembled violently from the intense shock to his soul, and his maniacal laughter turned into intermittent hissing, filled with horror and bewilderment.
"You almost succeeded. It seems I was the better one." Roy's eyes were mocking.
Scorpio Andaris retreated in terror.
It seemed to have discovered something extraordinary, but its limited intelligence prevented it from reacting with anything other than fear and panic.
"cough!"
Suddenly, a coughing sound rang out.
Astraea's long eyelashes fluttered as she slowly opened her eyes, regaining her composure. The others did the same, color returning to their faces, a lingering look of horror in their eyes; the feeling of having their souls stripped away was unpleasant.
The soul has returned!
Of course, Roy did nothing.
A strange light flashed in Roy's eyes; it seemed that they were not the only ones fighting to save the city.
"Asphi and Bell have succeeded." Hermes' joyful voice came from within his eye.
Roy suddenly realized, then it wasn't surprising.
"Huff! Huff!"
Grace was set to "awaiting conversion," but Thanatos's divine blood still remained in Valetta's body, so she was immune to the power of Death.
The cursed scorpion Andaris, whose target was Orario, did not cause her much trouble.
To witness firsthand the destruction of those damned gods, adventurers, and Orario, Valetta crawled back by eating wild grass and drinking dew, demonstrating the resilience of a LV.5 adventurer!
Besides that, she had another purpose.
Destroy Orario's last hope!
Those were the words left by Thanatos: "My power and divine strength are indeed formidable, but not invincible! Hestia, one of the three virgin goddesses, her sacred fire will guide lost children back—"
Hestia also made a name for herself by helping Roy and the others conquer the Underworld, transforming from an unknown god who had just descended to the mortal realm into one of the most famous gods in the world.
This also caught Sanatoz's attention.
Hestia possesses the "Undying Sacred Flame" and the concept of a family hearth. If the body is understood as a "mansion" and the soul as a "child who has run away from home," her sacred flame can reclaim the stolen soul.
This power is of a very high rank.
Thanatos figured he wasn't qualified to challenge Hestia's power.
To completely destroy that hateful city, we must kill that loli goddess!
This is Valetta's final mission.
The people of the entire city stared in terror at the scythe of death that blotted out the sky in mid-air.
"Hestia, activate your powers quickly, or our souls will be taken away!"
"good!"
Hestia activated her powers.
She, along with Hermes, Asphie, Bell, Yarisa, Badane, Nathan, and Bell's new friend and blacksmith Welf, became one of the few survivors under the power of Death.
As the Grim Reaper's scythe swept across, the group watched as the city transformed into a ghostly realm, devoid of survivors, and were deeply shocked and horrified.
"It's alright, we still have Hestia!" Hermes reassured everyone, reminding them that they couldn't panic at this time.
He explained Hestia's powers to the crowd.
"Hestia, now extend your authority to the entire city!" Hermes said.
Hestia's face fell.
It is easy to protect those around you; to extend this protection to all of Orario, you need to soak firewood in her divine blood and place it in various mansions to burn as hearth fires.
She will die from blood loss!
Hestia was torn: save the city? Or die of blood loss? She had to choose between the two.
Bell whispered, "My God, Mr. Roy said that saving the city has many benefits: wealth, fame, respect—"
"Really?" Hestia's eyes lit up.
The way everyone looked at her became strange.
"I've decided to offer my divine blood to save the city!"
Hestia declared righteously, "It's not that I'm greedy for worldly things, but I just enjoy helping others. Hands on my hips, I declare that the city I protect will not tolerate such evil and crooked ways!"
"Bell, you've gone astray too." Hermes revealed a meaningful smile.
"Hehe, I'm just learning Mr. Roy's way of thinking." Bell smiled innocently.
If Roy overheard their conversation, he'd definitely write a note down on them. What's the meaning of this?! Learning from me means you're going astray? I've told you so many times, he didn't corrupt the atmosphere of Orario!
Hestia offered her divine blood, and the people collected firewood, stained it with the divine blood, and distributed it to various mansions.
In the brief moment when everyone was scattered, Valetta, who had been lying in wait, launched a surprise attack and easily kidnapped Hestia with her overwhelming LV.5 stats.
No one expected this at all.
Hermes' pupils dilated; he had been careless.
Given the terrifying power of death, they naturally assumed that they were the only ones left in the city.
Thanatos was devoured by the assassin of the gods, and the favors of the assassin's kin should have been sealed away. Even Hermes did not expect that Thanatos's devouring was not an accident, but a premeditated plan.
Before being devoured, this Grim Reaper, who had willingly faced death, deliberately preserved a favor for his two family members.
"Asphi, go and support them! We must rescue Hestia, or Orarios will lose all hope!" Hermes's face was grim.
"Lord Hermes, and you?"
"I'm going to Uranus!"
The two engaged in a chase until they left Orario and entered the complex and ever-changing forest. This was something Valetta did intentionally, otherwise Asphie, who was tracking them from above using her flying shoes, would have been too annoying.
But she still underestimated this "all-rounder".
Asphi had sprinkled some kind of special powder on everyone beforehand, including Hestia.
It was clearly revealed along her escape route.
Even so, relying on their LV.5 power, the two sides circled around in this forest for several hours.
Why waste time with them? Just kill this little goddess! Valetta's eyes were fierce. She had even killed her own god, so why would she be afraid?
But when it really came down to taking action—
Looking at Hestia, Valetta felt a sudden sense of panic. Sending a god into the mouth of a monster was not the same as killing a god with one's own hands.
The latter is absolutely forbidden!
Even someone as ruthless as Valetta would subconsciously avoid such thoughts.
In a sense, Sanatoz acted voluntarily.
Valetta shook her head. Whatever, she'd just throw this little girl off the cliff and be done with it. She was going to take the whole world down with her anyway!
"stop!"
Hestia hadn't been following Roy around for nothing; the moment she sensed Roy's murderous intent, she unleashed her immense divine power without hesitation.
boom!
A dazzling, multicolored light covered her petite body, making it difficult for anyone to look directly at her.
The divine pressure seemed to materialize into a shockwave, slamming heavily into Valetta.
Valetta was struck as if by a heavy blow, staggering back several steps, her muscles, skin, and even her spirit trembling, unable to muster the slightest resistance.
Divine power allows people to recognize a deity at a glance.
The overwhelming pressure from the full-force unleashed divine power caused even high-level adventurers to tremble.
This is the only weapon that ordinary gods have to protect themselves in the mortal realm, but they usually don't use it. What they want is to integrate into the mortal realm, unleash their divine power all day long, and flaunt their divine status. Apart from creating a rift with the children in the mortal realm, there are no other benefits.
But when it really matters, you have to use it.
Driven by a primal fear, Valetta loosened her grip, instantly freeing Hestia from her restraints.
"Damn it—a mere god!" Valeta roared, her face contorted with rage. She had been tricked and tried to suppress the terror that gripped the depths of her soul.
In that split second...
"Kami-sama!"
The tracking team successfully caught up with them.
LV.4 Asif, LV.3 Badain, LV.2 Bell, Yarisa, Nathan, LV.1 Welf.
After the Black Bull incident, the school district team continued to challenge the dungeon. Finally, on the eleventh floor, after killing several young dragons, Badain and Bell completed their level-up. The latter went from LV.1 to LV.2 in just one and a half months, second only to Roy, which also shocked Orario.
Six people battle against Valetta, who is at level 5.
"Ugh!"
Asphie sighed. As a master of magical artifacts, she should be a guerrilla fighter, but now she can only be a vanguard, while the others will be instantly killed.
Participating in the LV.5 raid made Bell, Badain, and others somewhat nervous.
The two sides clashed violently in the forest where the embers of divine power were scattered. The sharp edges of their swords cut through the twilight, and the roars of battle instantly ignited the silent forest!
When they actually faced off, they realized that the situation was even better than they had imagined.
Normally, their chances of winning are slim. The gap between each level is as huge as a chasm, which cannot be easily bridged by numbers. However, Valetta has climbed back to Orario, exhausted from her journey, and is in extremely poor condition.
Otherwise, why would she have kidnapped Hestia?
At this point, she was at most half a LV.5, but that was enough to give Asphie, Bell, and others a tough fight.
The sounds of fierce fighting echoed throughout the entire forest.
Boom!Boom!Boom!
Valetta quickly noticed something amiss. Everyone was covering the white-haired rabbit at the very back, who was wielding a greatsword and whose bells rang out incessantly.
It's obvious that he's building up some powerful skill!
"Die!" Valeta charged forward hysterically, unstoppable, knocking the others away.
Surprisingly, the one who ultimately stood in her way was Welf, the lowest-ranking officer.
Welf pulled out more than a dozen short swords of different colors, crystal clear, some gleaming, some crackling, some shimmering—they radiated flames, some flashed lightning, some frosty ice.
Countless torrents swept across the sky.
boom!
Valeta's eyes widened. What the hell? She was instantly blown away, covered in dust and looking utterly disheveled.
"This power, his surname, it really is the Demon Sword of Clozo." Yarisa muttered to herself. This is a talent, we must let Bell keep him here.
Welf never expected that the final battle would take place next to his workshop, where he forged magic swords for the Kingdom of Lachia every month, and where his ammunition depot was not far away.
The demonic sword bombarded Valetta relentlessly, sending chills down her spine.
Bale delivered the final blow.
A Heroic Strike!
Bell's second skill is to turn the tide no matter how desperate the situation or how overwhelming the force, using only a tiny bit of power.
This skill is even affected by "Heroic Aspiration".
A second effect was added, turning the "hero" you yearn for into a real-life special effect.
Looking at different people yields different results, and these results are not fixed; they vary depending on the impression.
To put it simply, whatever Bear Grylls wants comes true!
"Mr. Roy, lend me your power!" Bell was just like a junior character in a tokusatsu drama who often asked his senior for power. Golden lightning appeared and wrapped around the greatsword in his hand with a crackling sound.
boom!!
As the death knell ceased, Bell's greatsword shone with dazzling platinum light, carrying the power of thunder. He leaped up and slammed it heavily onto Valedon's body. The terrifying power caused the earth to shake violently, and the surrounding ground cracked wildly in all directions.
Its power can reach the level of a high-ranking LV.5!
Turning the impossible into the possible, creating miracles! That's the added effect of aspiring to Roy.
The dust settles!
Such terrifying power, yet at the bottom of the pit, everyone saw that Valedan was not dead!
Since the target was humans, Bell stopped.
Sizzle! Sizzle!
Golden lightning, like countless electric snakes, crawled across Valedon's body, tearing at her already scorched form and causing paralysis, rendering her unable to move.
Bell's voice was low, "I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I still don't want to kill anyone—"
"It's alright, Bell. It's not shameful to be afraid to kill. It just means you're a very kind child," Hestia comforted her.
Upon hearing this, Valerian broke down. She had actually been defeated by this naive brat. She taunted him wildly, "What a joke! You piece of trash, you useless thing! Kill me now, or I'll cause you endless trouble as long as I live! Come on!!"
No one cared about her hysterical outburst, which had caused such a devastating disaster. Just because Bell didn't want to kill her didn't mean her fate would be any better.
Valerian was temporarily imprisoned by the group.
"The Pseudo-Realization of the Kitchen God's Sacred Fire Temple!"
Back in Orario, Hestia arrives at the top of the Tower of Babel, the very heart of the city.
Posture activation!
Through the various mansions, firewood imbued with the blood of the Hestia burned, connecting with each other, and a huge stove appeared in the vast Orario, with flames burning fiercely inside, spreading warmth to everyone.
Souls, harvested by death, are like those adrift in a cold abyss, living in a daze.
At that moment, the brilliant Olympic flame was lit.
It dispelled all the cold, brought endless warmth, and guided everyone home; countless orbs of soul light descended from the sky.
Filled with the lingering shock of surviving the catastrophe, they surged back to Orario and the surrounding villages from all directions.
The soul returns to each person's body.
