In this chaotic world, it all started when they found an elf girl.

Chapter 577 The Witch Reveals Her Fangs!

It worked!

Roy used the power of the earth to destroy seventy-nine floors and used the dungeon's hatred for the gods to create mutated Zagnat that were immune to divine power!

The World Tree isolates Cronus's temporal powers while simultaneously keeping a close eye on Cronus alongside Oceanus!

Many adventurers risked their lives to hold off Rhea, and Freya successfully charmed her, ultimately allowing the mutated Zagnat to devour this fallen god!

The success was achieved through a series of interconnected steps, and the efforts of everyone involved cannot be overlooked.

The moment the mutated Zagnat devoured Rhea, Cronus wanted to intervene, but pressure from the World Tree and Oceanus stopped him.

The World Tree and Oceanus stared intently at Cronus, ready to act at the slightest sign of trouble.

Moreover, Artemis, wielding the Spear of the Moon, was also watching closely. Roy had made ample preparations for this hunt for Rhea and did not completely trust Oceanus.

The three gods made it impossible for Cronus to move an inch!

Kronos sighed helplessly. The opportunity was fleeting, and he had missed the best chance because he had been scolded by Rhea and hadn't acted immediately.

"They succeeded—"

Oceanus also had a complicated expression. He had witnessed Roy leading the adventurers from the lower realms to defeat the true god. He knew what had happened. If any link in the chain had gone wrong, Roy's entire army would have been wiped out. It was just Rhea's fate!

"Then it's time for our battle." Oceanus would only help keep an eye on Kronos while Roy and the others fought Rhea, after which he would become Roy's enemy; that was their agreement.

Kronos, too lazy to pay attention to Oceanus, that traitor, muttered, "Rhea, see you again in ten thousand years. I hope you'll have learned your lesson by then."

Rhea was killed by Roy and the others. He was angry and annoyed, but not much sad.

Gods are born from the world!

Compared to their hundreds of millions of years of age and their endless lifespan, a resurrection time of ten thousand years is no different from taking a nap.

Having said that, Cronus showed no hesitation and turned to walk deeper into the underground city.

"Cronus?"

Oceanus was dumbfounded. Just as he was about to unleash his power, his teammates ran away. As the one who wielded the "power of water," he was countered by the World Tree. If he fought alone, the outcome would most likely be the same as last time. He didn't want to be sealed away again.

"I'll be back!" Oceanus knew he had acted dishonestly and lost Kronos's trust. He gave an awkward smile, uttered a harsh threat to Roy and the others, and then plunged into the underground city.

With the departure of the two fallen immortals, the tense atmosphere on the battlefield immediately dissipated by more than 90%.

What remains is the mutated Zagnat!

Roy said in a deep voice, "Defeat it!"

Without Roy even needing to say anything, almost the instant the mutated Zagnat devoured Rhea, the Orario adventurers launched a fierce attack on the ferocious beast without the slightest hesitation, abandoning their support after the fact.

The mutated Zagnat is absorbing Rhea's power. No one can just stand by and watch it digest, otherwise it will become another monster comparable to the Black Dragon!

With the fallen immortals gone, the surrounding magical energy no longer resisted everyone's mental power, and magic was restored!

Transfer to a higher position!

Roy made the first move, instantly traversing thousands of meters to arrive above the mutated Zagnat's head. The elven holy sword, condensing an extreme cold light, pierced into the mutated Zagnat's mask without any hindrance.

A flicker of surprise crossed the mutated Zagnat's violent, scarlet eyes, for Roy had moved too quickly.

The Giant Slayer effect of the Elven Holy Sword was activated, easily breaking through the mutated Zagnat's defenses.

"drink!"

'

Roy's eyes sharpened, his arm muscles bulged, and all his strength surged through the sword. He twisted his wrist and used his waist to propel the blade.

A sharp horizontal slash!

Click!

A piercing sound of crystal tearing rang out.

A gruesome gash was ripped open on the mutated Zagnat's visor, blood spurting out. After a groan of unbearable strain, the visor shattered with a crash.

Fragments of the hardened mask flew everywhere.

Having done all this, as the mutated Zagnat's claws struck, Roy moved away, no longer intervening, leaving the adventurers to deal with the beast.

The only thing that makes the mutated Zagnat wary is its mask; everything else is insignificant!

The Fierce Demon Spear!

Finn casts his first spell, which lowers his judgment but greatly increases all his stats. He then casts his second spell, "Tirnano," which adds all his stats, including hidden attributes, to the spell's power!

"Drink!" Finn hurled his golden spear, which sliced ​​through the air and hurtled toward the mutated Zagnat.

During the battle, Chun Ji continued to provide level-up enhancements for everyone. Finn's level was LV.9, and the power of this attack broke through the limit (LV.10), enough to kill a monster of Behemoth level!

The mutated Zagnat instinctively dodged, the golden spear brushing past it as it soared into the sky.

boom!

The golden spear exploded with a deafening roar, and the dark clouds within a radius of several kilometers vanished into nothingness. Before the mutated Zagnat could recover, even more attacks followed.

Weiss Windheim!

Hildes Veni!

The Wind of Light!

Riveria's third-tier magic beam, Ota and Leon's afterimage slashes, and Liu's emerald green orb—countless attacks rained down like a storm, leaving the mutated Zagnat utterly helpless. Its carapace shattered, its limbs broke, and black mist dissipated.

The adventurers were seething with anger. They couldn't defeat the fallen gods, but surely they could kill a monster! Their fury erupted like a volcano.

A vengeful princess + a fairy storm!

Ais perfectly fused her skills with the power of the fairy essence, her figure flashing like the wind, her sword blade swirling with gale-force winds, continuously striking the mutated Zagnat, splashing up a large number of dazzling sparks and shell fragments.

The two thighs supporting the mutated Zagnat's body were severed by Ais at the root, the cuts smooth as a mirror, with dark green blood gushing out.

thump!

Zagnat roared in pain and rage, his massive body losing its balance and falling forward.

It struggled, its remaining forelimbs clawing at the ground, dragging its broken body toward the abyss of the underground city. If it could escape back and completely absorb Rhea's power, it would possess world-destroying strength.

The mindless, alienated Zagnat didn't know that even if it escaped into the dungeon, it would be pointless, as Roy, who possessed the power of the earth, could find it at any time.

Extinction - A Prayer!

Alphia's clear yet majestic voice rang out as she held her hands out in front of her. A huge, solid golden bell appeared above her, its surface shimmering with light and radiating a terrifying aura of destruction.

clang!

The first chime was distant and solemn. Visible rings of golden light emanated from the bell and struck the barely surviving mutated Zagnat, causing its tattered shell to explode once more.

clang!!

The second chime followed immediately, and an even thicker golden wave of light struck its back, triggering a violent energy explosion. Zagnat let out a deathly scream, and its crawling movements almost ceased.

clang!!!

The third chime was the loudest, and a golden beam of light, as solid as a tangible substance, descended from the sky, pinning Zagnat's mangled body to the spot. The earth cracked, dust billowed, his armor shattered, and even the magic stones were exposed.

At this moment, the mutated Zagnat was at its last gasp, barely able to crawl, and could only let out a weak, unwilling hiss.

The mutated Zagnat has higher stats (strength, durability, agility, and dexterity) than the Black Dragon, but it lacks wide-range attack capabilities.

The magic-reflecting mask was destroyed by Roy and bombarded with magic by the adventurers, leaving the mutated Zagnat on the verge of death.

"Bell!" Alphia looked in a certain direction.

"yes!"

A vibrant voice rang out, and Little Bell leaped from the broken rooftop, gripping the greatsword that burst forth with a brilliant, pure white light like the rising sun.

A hero's dream!

Little Bell poured all his strength and speed into this sword strike, slashing fiercely at the magic stone exposed by the mutated Zagnat.

puff!

The sword blade, gleaming with a brilliant white light, pierced deeply into the large, ominous magic stone.

"Break!" Bell's eyes widened, and he gripped the hilt of the sword tightly with both hands, twisting the greatsword that was embedded in the magic stone.

Click!

A clear cracking sound came from inside the magic stone.

Like a chain reaction, countless fine cracks spread from the tip of the sword across the entire magic stone.

"roar!"

The mutated Zagnat let out a roar of resentment and pain, its massive body convulsing violently, and the black mist and blue-purple electric arcs surrounding it quickly dissipated.

The ferocious monster exploded with a roar!

The adventurers were no match for Rhea, Rhea was no match for the mutated Zagnat, and the mutated Zagnat was no match for the adventurers—it was a strange and peculiar relationship of restraint.

In the end, the adventurers are the victors!

"We won!"

The adventurers stared in disbelief at the scene before them as they defeated Rhea and the mutated Zagnat that had devoured her. The two fallen gods, Oceanus and Cronus, were forced to retreat back into the dungeon.

An indescribable ecstasy and the relief of surviving a disaster erupted in everyone's hearts.

The adventurers cheered and jumped for joy, waving their fists in excitement. The gods in the North District and the underground prayer room also jumped up with joy, their faces beaming.

On this day, mankind triumphed over the gods!

Unlike the crowd caught up in revelry, a somber atmosphere enveloped the Freya Familia members.

thump!

Freya's delicate body slumped forward, crashing onto the cold, broken ground. Dust stained her gorgeous dress, and her silver hair spread out in disarray, obscuring most of her pretty face.

This scene is heartbreaking to watch.

Their supreme, beautiful, and powerful goddess, the embodiment of faith and light, lay so weak and powerless on the ground, barely breathing. The Freya Familia members were completely devastated and rushed towards her in a frenzy.

"Lady Freya—" Haici covered her mouth, tears welling up in her eyes, and she sobbed.

It seems to have triggered a chain reaction.

"No—no—"

Countless members of the Freya Familia knelt on the ground, their shoulders trembling, tears blurring their vision. Sorrowful cries, suppressed sobs, and desperate shouts echoed from every corner. They covered their faces and wept, some kneeling and wailing, others looking up to the sky and letting out silent wail.

Otta, Hedin, and Hegny, among other cadres, also had bloodshot eyes and were clenching their teeth.

This commotion naturally attracted the attention of others, and countless eyes were cast in that direction. The cheers gradually subsided and became deathly silent.

Many people died because of this turmoil, but Freya was a special case!

The crowd's spirits plummeted, enveloped in an overwhelming sense of sorrow and confusion.

"Uh—Roy—"

A faint groan escaped Freya's lips as her consciousness gradually blurred. Her star-like eyes lost focus and became misty with tears. Her small hand trembled as she reached forward.

Everyone looked in the direction Freya was pointing, and sure enough, it was Roy.

"Go ahead." Ryu nodded to Roy.

Roy walked towards Freya, and the members of Freya's Familia quickly made way for him, silently watching him pass by. Each face was filled with resentment; how they wished that at this moment, the goddess would call their name.

But only this young man in front of him—Roy—could see his goddess off on her final journey.

When Roy came to Freya and looked down, he saw that the goddess's face was as pale as paper, without a trace of blood, and her lips had lost their former lustrous shine, appearing weak and grayish-white.

That exquisite face was etched with heartbreaking fragility, like a flower about to wither—still beautiful, yet incredibly fragile, on the verge of shattering.

Roy hesitated for a moment, but finally bent down, knelt on one knee, and held Freya's small hand.

"Roy, I have done many things to hurt you—" Freya's lips parted slightly.

Roy remained silent.

"I had Ota train the mermaid enhanced species to cause you trouble, deliberately leading you to the room of the floor master, Anfispina—" Freya recounted the past.

Ryu, Daphne, and Cassandra stared wide-eyed. It turned out that their first expedition was not an accident, but Freya's scheme.

"I know."

Roy whispered that he had also launched a revenge operation, causing Freya to lose her important identity as "Sila Frova," leaving her in a very sorry state.

"Let Allen and Jariba fight you on the 44th floor, and then they'll try to control you with charm in the Star Court—"

"Freya continued."

The surrounding gods and adventurers recalled that time when the three great clans were locked in a tense standoff.

"That's for Anya."

Roy shook his head. Freya wanted to find a new home for Anya, but as a result, he, at LV.5, used Allen, at LV.6, as a stepping stone to level up to LV.6.

Not far away, Anya was crying her eyes out.

"Control Bell, imprison Hestia, wage war against you—bewitching all of Orario—" Crystalline tears streamed down Freya's cheeks, her voice growing weaker and weaker until it was barely audible.

"That was to stop me from defeating the Black Dragon."

Roy sighed. Back then, he had killed seven gods in succession. Freya had charmed the whole city in order to reverse the gods' decision, which was indeed out of good intentions. Even he felt embarrassed to blame her that time.

"Roy, can you forgive me for what I did before? And for my willfulness?" Freya's eyes shone with a new light as she tightly grasped Roy's large hand, pleading pitifully.

The Freya Familia members glared at Roy from behind, ready to kill him even if it cost them their lives if he dared to say "no."

Otta, Hedin, and the others gripped their weapons tightly.

Roy could certainly feel the warning and threatening gazes around him, but he ignored them.

However, listening to Freya's sincere confession and plea, Roy was filled with emotion. Indeed, when a person is about to die, their words are kind.

Thinking of Freya's important role in this incident, and that she was about to return to the Celestial Realm and would never be seen again, Roy's heart softened a little.

Roy whispered, "I forgive you!"

Everyone present breathed a sigh of relief. After hearing Freya's confession, they were all chilled to the bone. It turned out that Freya had caused Roy so much trouble in secret. No wonder Roy didn't give her a good look.

At least in the end, the righteous young man offered Freya some solace.

"Thank you, thank you so much!"

Freya pursed her lips, tears of joy streaming down her face.

Amidst the cheerful atmosphere, Freya's smile turned sinister: "Then I'm relieved!"

A sudden change has occurred!

In that instant, Freya's delicate body, like a candle flickering in the wind, erupted with boundless divine power from within, its pure white radiance hazy and sacred.

"Oh no!" Upon hearing Freya's last words, Roy keenly sensed something was wrong and forcefully shook off Freya's small hand, but it was too late.

The overwhelming divine power and radiance engulfed him completely!

The pillar of light enveloping the two suddenly expanded, reaching a diameter of tens of meters, but the others were not integrated into it; instead, they were pushed away by an invisible force.

boom!

The pillar of light rose straight up with unstoppable force, piercing through the heavens and earth, tearing open a huge circular hole through the dense, impenetrable clouds, its brilliance illuminating hundreds of kilometers.

Golden sunlight from above the clouds cascaded down like a waterfall through the gaping hole in the clouds, mingling with the white pillar of light and instantly illuminating the dark and shattered Orario below. The scene before them was magnificent and sacred, yet filled with an unknown storm.

"Roy!"

"Commander!"

A gasp of surprise and worry rang out.

Ryu, Astraea, Tione—and all the girls of the Astraea Familia, Artemis, Ais,

Asphi, Algana, and the others stared wide-eyed at the magnificent pillar of light in the sky.

All of this happened too fast.

The dazzling pillar of light illuminating the sky reached a certain peak, then its light rapidly receded and dissipated—in just a few breaths, the pillar of light connecting heaven and earth completely disappeared, and the cascading light gradually weakened.

The spot where the beam of light rose was empty!

Freya and Roy—the two figures vanished without a trace, leaving no trace whatsoever.

The battlefield fell into a deathly silence.

Everyone remained gazing up at the sky, or staring intently at the open space, speechless, their faces filled with utter shock, bewilderment, and disbelief.

The goddess Freya suffered a fatal wound and was sent back to the heavens—that's understandable, but what about Roy?!

Alphia and Riveria suddenly felt a strong and familiar weakness. They looked at each other in surprise and doubt. Grace had been sealed again!
