Life Dungeon Game

"Good evening, Miss Villy."

"good evening."

"Miss Villy, may we take a picture together?"

"Okay."

With a gentle greeting, Veri parted ways with the crowd.

"Miss Vili is so kind. I wish I could be like her someday."

In the darkness behind me, I could hear whispers that seemed to fade away.

The blonde girl looked up at the stars in the sky and continued along the path.

After passing through several forks in the road, she arrived at a silent tombstone.

The tombstone is an upright bust. The thin boy on the statue is wrapped in a scarf and calmly gazes ahead, his eyes as deep as an abyss and as fiery as a flame.

A few lines of small characters are engraved at the base of the tombstone.

His body was weak and small, but his soul was great and magnificent. He did not need to wait for the dawn; he was the dawn.

[Ilo Delock]

The girl slowly took out the bouquet from her chest and placed it in front of the silent statue piled with flowers.

Cold raindrops fell on the girl's fair hands.

She raised her head, gazing at the boy's face before her. Finally, she slowly reached out and embraced the cold statue.

"The road ahead is so long when you're alone."

Chapter 847 The Eleventh Official Dungeon Settlement (Long Chapter, Requesting Monthly Tickets)

The 'Usurper' character card is currently on cooldown (remaining cooldown time: 1 dungeon run)

Looking at the words in his field of vision, He Ao let out a long sigh of relief.

He used a total of eight exchange stars when he entered the instance. He used seven stars to exchange for "The Usurper". With the remaining star, he used half of the star to exchange for six hours of "The Usurper" and the other half to exchange for one and a half hours of "The Usurper's" ability "The God of Usurpation".

His gaze went downwards, landing on the 'character card' in his field of vision.

From left to right, the first three cards are [Primordial Fire], [King of the Night], and [Usurper], which correspond to 'Joey', 'Vian', and 'Neil' respectively. He has already redeemed all three cards.

He used the first two cards in the last dungeon, which had a cooldown period, but it has now been restored. The [Usurper] card, however, has entered its normal cooldown period.

However, the ability 'Usurper' of the [Usurper] has no cooldown time, so he can still exchange for this ability in the next dungeon.

Behind these three already redeemed cards is the [Saint] card, which corresponds to 'Pet' in the Fountain of Youth dungeon. This card involves the Goddess of Life and its redemption restriction is lifted only after Super Memory is promoted to B-rank. Like the [Usurper] card, it requires seven redemption stars.

Following [Saint] is [Deep Sea Glimmer], which corresponds to 'Jace' in the Vitterland City instance. This card involves a deceased high-ranking being who exists between angel and god. It can be redeemed from the beginning and requires five redemption stars.

Following [Deep Sea Glimmer] is the card [Dream Illusion] from the previous Sito dungeon. This card is currently the most expensive of all character cards, requiring nine exchange stars.

This card is related to the 'Winding Hill' which has some connection to Hypermemory, and it is very likely that it contains clues to a higher-level talent sequence corresponding to the Hypermemory pathway.

At the same time, this card also attracted the attention of the Witch of Desire, and was even created under her influence.

In addition to the six existing cards, there was another card in He Ao's field of vision, with its back to him.

As his gaze fell upon it, the card gradually flipped over, revealing its contents.

The most eye-catching feature is the 'mist' covering the entire card.

Within this dense fog, there are purple lightning, gray radiance, dazzling light, and crimson storms.

And in the deepest part of this dense fog, a blurry, semi-transparent figure of a boy, seemingly composed of mist, vaguely appears.

The boy floated in the thick fog, a red scarf tied around his neck, and a faint blood-red butterfly pattern outlined between his brows.

His eyes were closed, as if he had fallen into some kind of long sleep, and endless mist extended from behind him, becoming a thick fog that filled the entire card.

He Ao's gaze shifted to the name on the card.

[Eternal Obsession]

Just by looking at the name, He Ao realized how this card was formed.

It is highly likely that Iro's body has somehow merged with the remnants of the Eternal Kingdom.

He Ao's gaze fell on the boy's brow in the card.

Butterfly pattern.

And the medium for this fusion is most likely Alice.

Alice herself was created from the final power of the "Inner Church," an experimental subject produced by Endil during the "research and development" of the Eternal Kingdom. She and the Eternal Kingdom share a certain origin.

Because Alice's power comes from the gratitude of the deceased in the inner church to Heodi, Alice herself has a very high mystical connection with Heodi.

So He Ao had originally planned for Alice to try to absorb the remaining power of the Eternal Kingdom after the final battle and the destruction of the Eternal Kingdom.

The good news is that it seems Alice has successfully absorbed the power of the Eternal Kingdom, and even managed to merge with it by relying on her connection with 'Ilo'.

The bad news was that He Ao looked at the faint light and thunder that appeared deep in the fog.

Other 'things' were also 'integrated' into it.

The gray glow must come from a good friend, the purple lightning is the symbol of the Witch of Desire, the shining light should be the residual power of the Eternal Light, and the red storm should be the power of the God of War.

That's enough to make a whole mahjong table.

Hmm, maybe Endil's incomplete angel-level item was also fused in.

Each additional power means an additional 'connection' with the entities behind it, and these powers are likely not fully compatible.

He stared at the card.

Even with Alice's power, including the remnants of the Eternal Kingdom, it would be impossible for her to control the power of so many gods.

Therefore, there is a high probability that other 'forces' are involved.

These powers come from four sources: the God of War is dead, the Eternal Light has been driven away, so only the best friend and the Witch of Desire remain.

The power of the Witch of Desire is primarily destructive and emotional, so she might not be able to achieve such an easy 'fusion'.

So, are they good friends?

After he left the instance world, what did his good friend do that led to this great fusion?

Was it intentional or unintentional?

Did the Witch of Desire really discover nothing?

Given the power of these two gods, even if Alice hides in the inner world, would they really be unable to find her?

He stared at the card.

Even so, all of this was not too far out of his plan.

If these two gods didn't have any ulterior motives, Alice probably wouldn't have survived under their watchful eyes.

To be precise, Heo had the idea from the beginning to use these 'special intentions' to 'protect' Alice at the very center of the vortex and thereby absorb the power to control the Eternal Kingdom.

Even the appearance of this character card was not too unexpected for him.

In a sense, this 'character card', which combines the powers of multiple gods, is dangerous, but in special circumstances, it may play an unexpectedly powerful role.

Having more friends makes life easier.

Moreover, He Ao can mitigate some of the risks by exchanging character cards and then using only the character's abilities.

As He Ao stared, a pop-up window appeared.

[Would you like to pay 9 exchange stars to exchange for 'Eternal Obsession'? (Your current available exchange stars: 0)]

9 exchange stars?

Is it the same exchange star as [Dream Illusion]?

Judging from this instance, the overall strength of the seven-star [Usurper] is roughly equivalent to that of a crippled angel, or someone who can exert angelic power for a short period of time.

Does a card with nine exchange stars mean it's truly an angel-level card?

As he pondered, He Ao withdrew his gaze, and the character card interface in his field of vision slowly disappeared.

Lines of text were appearing in his field of vision.

[Main quest evaluation in progress...]

Main Quest Rating: ★★★★☆

Congratulations on completing the main quest!

[Your evaluation for other tasks will be processed shortly, please wait...]

The main quest is rated four and a half stars, which is within He Ao's estimation.

Winter is the largest city in the Northwest of the Federation and ranks among the top ten cities in the Federation.

Besides its large city map, Winter City actually holds the status of a religious holy city and is the 'stage' for several large cross-city forces, including Rockwell Energy Group, Eternal Cult, Eternal Old Cult, and even the FBI.

Therefore, the scope of this instance is actually even larger than that of the instance in the second federal city of Whitland.

Many of the enemies encountered in this dungeon, such as the Old Cult leader Bright, would have been the final enemy in previous dungeons.

But in this instance, it's at most a powerful elite monster.

Therefore, He Ao often had to rush to the rescue because there were really not many 'companions' who could help him.

His only two friendly C-rank allies were Lena, whom he had raised himself, and Gast, who was seriously injured when he rescued her. As for the enemies he had to face, B-rank allies were like freebies.

Eight days, starting with a small coffin lid, ending with a large regional city.

Moreover, the masterminds behind this dungeon are a crippled angel-level Endil and a projection of the Eternal Light. If it weren't for the fact that he has many good friends who would actually come to his aid at crucial moments, the difficulty of clearing this dungeon would increase dramatically.

Therefore, all things considered, this dungeon is more difficult than any of the previous dungeons. Even though the main quest rating increase was the most difficult, it should have increased this time.
