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

Chapter 609 The Soul's Radiance Re-emerges

The eerie black mist that devoured the eight fallen gods silently disappeared back underground, as if it had never existed. Only the fallen gods vanished without a trace, including the remains of Krios and his companions.

The black dragon clearly didn't want to confront the ancient heroes head-on; Roy gave it too much of a dangerous feeling.

Using the evil dragon Nidhogg to divert everyone's attention, he took the opportunity to devour the fallen gods and immortals. This seemingly simple trick of luring the tiger away from the mountain seized the most fatal moment, catching everyone off guard.

Because it saw destiny!

This was destined to happen; it was bound to succeed!

Or, to put it another way, if the black dragon doesn't see its own destiny of success, it will hide away until a turning point appears, rather than rashly taking action.

Roy's expression was not good. He had misunderstood. Perhaps the black dragon was not the top-level ferocious beast they had imagined from the beginning, and it was even less powerful than the evil dragon Nidhogg.

The opponent was just an ordinary high-level dragon monster. After its mutation, it devoured a fallen immortal god, thus gaining the power to destroy the world and was known as the "symbol of the end".

Habitual thinking can be deadly!

Roy was still within the dungeon's boundaries, and even using his earth powers, he couldn't detect the black dragon's presence; the "God Assassin" mechanic itself was beyond his control.

"Are you satisfied now?"

Chaos's voice rang out again, still so calm. He didn't mock Roy's presumptuous attempt to change his fate.

Roy sighed, "You're right, it's time to go back!"

Finally, he had one more question: "It can see fate, can Albert and his people deal with it?"

Chaos replied, "Don't worry, Phoebe won't let it see any further into the future. When it devours the other eight Titans, its power of destiny will be sealed. It won't know that Albert will take one of its eyes (severely damaging its soul), that Arya will seal it in the north for thousands of years, or that you will lead the Orario alliance to successfully defeat it!"

Every gift from fate comes with a price. The black dragon rose to power because of the fallen gods, and it will also lose its life because of the fallen gods.

"Um!"

Roy nodded; Albert's soul-damaging strikes were simply too powerful.

Roy, who had fought against both the Black Dragon and the gods, could say that even after devouring nine fallen immortals and gods, the Black Dragon was not so powerful as to be invincible.

The Black Dragon has the maximum stats of LV.10 and the authority of nine fallen gods, but no divine power!

Invincible in the lower realms, yet utterly defeated by the gods!

However, another meaning in Chaos's words made Roy frown. Phoebe was suppressed in the underground city by the fallen gods and then devoured by the black dragon, but the other party was still able to seal his own powers at the appropriate time.

Indeed, one should not underestimate the power of the gods!

And was the goddess Phoebe's being devoured by the black dragon a deliberate act, or an accidental event?

Roy leaned towards the former. The fallen gods wouldn't have placed the goddess Phoebe in a place where monsters would attack her. She also had the power of destiny. Just how far into the future did those eyes see?

This earth-shattering battle has temporarily come to an end.

Albert was in good condition, while Sharon, Jazanev, Sertia, and Situ were seriously injured. Apart from the fallen gods, the only casualty was Ivelda, and everyone's faces showed sadness.

If Ivelda hadn't forcibly merged with the power of the earth and defeated Crios, what would the world be like now? That remains to be seen.

Roy, clutching the War God's Belt that Ivelda had given him, asked, "Can she be resurrected?"

This question made Roy a little uneasy. He wouldn't have to worry if it were a world a thousand years in the future, but this world has a reincarnation mechanism. If Ivelda has already been reincarnated, then there's nothing he can do.

Chaos said, "Ivelda isn't going to reincarnate anytime soon. The twelfth world-class feat is to go to the underworld. Perhaps you could try to make it happen."

Roy secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Thanks to the inefficiency of the underworld gods, a quick calculation shows that it's indeed not yet time for Ivelda's reincarnation. Bell is the reincarnation of Argo, and Welf is the reincarnation of Crozo—the hero candidates of Orario all had remarkable achievements in their previous lives thousands of years ago.

In their past lives, Lily and Finn were siblings. Finn's first spell, "Fierce Magic Lance," was a curse that Lily had in her past life, which she then obtained.

Roy thought to himself, Finn is having a good time, while Lily suffers endless torment in the Soma Familia.

However, this suggests that those lazy gods probably reincarnate every two thousand years, resolutely refusing to work overtime unless they encounter a particularly beloved child in the mortal realm. With a large number of gods descending to the mortal world, manpower became even more strained, driving Hades to the brink of insanity. Roy then recalled his plan to conquer the Underworld.

Rumble! Rumble!!

The world-class feat has been accomplished. Roy did not travel back in time to a thousand years later because there were still things left to do. He used the power of the earth, causing a great earthquake, and the resulting stone walls temporarily sealed the large hole in the underground city.

The monsters in the dungeon are all trapped below.

Roy drank another bottle of Celestial Elixir to alleviate the injuries caused by Hyperion's Deathly Light, and then he gave Celty...

Ya and the others unleashed healing magic.

A dazzling emerald light descended, and Celia and the others, who had been on the verge of death, were saved, their wounds gradually healing.

Roy then sprinkled two more bottles of the 2.0 version of the Heavenly Elixir on these people, managing to save them.

As for those who have stopped breathing, they can be revived using the Tenseiga (Heavenly Fang).

Roy was very adept at snatching people from the jaws of death, bringing dead heroes back to life.

boom!

When all this was done, Albert's battle was nearing its end. The evil dragon Nidhogg was killed, and its massive body crashed heavily to the ground.

The evil dragon, which once required six great immortals to use the "Six Immortal Rings" to kill, was easily slain by Albert, who took the lead in the attack, with Roy providing assistance.

Even the Black Dragon might not be able to withstand the combined might of the two strongest figures from different eras, let alone the Evil Dragon.

The group returned to Hero Town.

Or rather, the place that was once a small town was destroyed in their fierce battle with the fallen gods. Every attack was so devastating that the town that was affected was already in ruins. The original wooden and stone houses were reduced to charred ruins.

As far as the eye could see, there was nothing but wreckage!

Fortunately, the town's residents had already been evacuated, which brought considerable comfort to everyone. Roy took out various supplies from his spatial ring, and the group set up a makeshift camp on the spot.

The rich aroma of the food quickly spread.

"Is that black mist the black dragon you were talking about?"

During their recuperation, Albert and the other heroes looked at Roy, Loki, and Freya.

Roy nodded: "Mm!"

Celia said, "Those fallen gods and immortals have been devoured. Once they have fully digested the power of the gods, they will be even more dangerous. We must defeat them as soon as possible."

"Yes." Roy understood deeply; he was one of the victims who encountered the black dragon with its powers.

Ironically, he was also the "culprit"!

If they hadn't come to this era, the Fallen Gods might not have been born earlier, and the Black Dragon might not have been able to devour the Nine Gods. Perhaps Albert could have killed them, but history would have taken a different turn.

Roy, with mixed feelings, said, "We have to leave!"

Why?

Albert, Celia, Sharon, and the others all cast puzzled glances at each other.

Those eyes held confusion and curiosity, but no doubt. Now that things had come to this, they certainly didn't think Roy was cowardly or afraid of death.

What difficulty could be more despairing than eleven fallen immortals and dragons charging at your face?!

Roy is a strongman they acknowledge!

Without Roy, a fallen god could have wiped out the entire surface of the earth in this battle; Roy's role surpassed that of everyone else present.

Roy didn't answer, but pointed to the sky.

Seeing this, everyone looked thoughtful.

"I see. Is it time?"

Albert murmured, a gentle smile on his face: "Celtia, Sharon—don't force him. Roy has his reasons."

"Can we succeed?"

Then, Albert looked at Roy intently.

"Yes!" Roy answered firmly. According to his prediction, the black dragon could not use all of the divine powers, and its true strength was not as terrifying as he had imagined.

Albert considered the success to be defeating the black dragon!

Roy's idea of ​​success was that Albert severely injured the black dragon, and then Arya sealed it away!

Roy knew what Albert was asking, but he had to answer in a way that would prevent the other party from going against history and continuing along the original path.

In fact, it was somewhat unnecessary. Roy knew that no matter what, Albert and the others would go to the dungeon again to fight the black dragon, because it was the duty of heroes, and the dragon would not run away.

Before returning, Roy helped Albert and the others upgrade their entire set of equipment, all of them custom-made legendary weapons, using only the best materials!

Helping these ancient heroes is helping himself; without the heavy damage Albert inflicted on the Black Dragon, their subsequent campaign would have been far too difficult.

Another thing is to forge the Elf Holy Sword!

The legendary Elven Holy Sword is a piece of cake for Roy now. The only challenge is to replicate it exactly as it was made, without the slightest difference.

A few days later, Roy successfully delivered the goods.

The heavy elven holy sword fell into Celtia's hands. She felt a sense of kinship and was secretly amazed: "This is the complete holy sword!" With this equipment, her combat power doubled.

Celia didn't mind that the elven holy sword in her hand was very similar to the longsword Roy used on the battlefield, because the equipment Roy had made for them before was of the same style.

Roy also took a deep look at the Elven Holy Sword. His initial legendary equipment was no less helpful to him than Liu, a powerful fighter in the early stages.

And the elven holy sword will eventually return to his hands!

"I hope we'll have a chance to meet again." Celia looked at her fellow clansman with a complicated expression.

Roy was speechless. "Next time we meet, you'll be ashes," he said, a joke that sounded a bit like a hellish joke.

"And this magical item is for you." Roy seemed to remember something, and with a wave of his hand, the heavy coffin fell to the ground, and a chilling aura swept over you.

"A coffin—what kind of prank is this—"

Celia's face darkened. Who delivers a coffin to someone else? Although she was an elf, her culture in this respect was not much different from that of humans.

At this moment, Celia's slightly angry voice stopped abruptly. She carefully examined the coffin and realized the extraordinary nature of this magical artifact.

"This magical item can preserve corpses—"

Roy explained the function of this magical item to Celtia. He had once gone north to solve the "Dragon Visit Problem" and defeated the ice dragon "Imir". The Frost King's Coffin that dropped there had been used by him as a refrigerator.

Upon arriving in this era, Roy suddenly remembered his previous experience conquering the Thousand Cang Ice Garden. The enormous coffin they saw inside the core palace of the Thousand Cang Ice Garden actually seemed vaguely familiar to Roy.

Now, Roy finally realized that it must have been a modified Frost King's Coffin!

The conclusion is very clear!

Celia also plans to build the Thousand Ice Garden, and he will leave behind the Frost King's Coffin as an important tool for preserving Albert's body. Roy does not want to disrupt history.

The Fallen Gods Group was almost wiped out. Roy told Albert and the others all the information about the Black Dragon, leaving behind the Elven Holy Sword and the Frost King's Coffin.

The mission of this era has been successfully completed!

The next day.

Albert and the others went to the dungeon to search for the black dragon's whereabouts, leaving only Roy, Loki, and Freya in the camp in Hero Town.

"Damn it, we haven't accomplished anything?" Loki grimaced, his displeasure evident on his face. In the end, Albert was still going to die!

Loki's feelings for these heroes weren't that deep. Because of his relationship with Ais, he extended his affection to them and didn't want Albert and Arya to die in battle.

"Loki, you can't think like that!"

Roy said calmly, "If we hadn't come back, Orario a thousand years from now would be facing the immense threat of the twelve fallen Celestials!"

Upon hearing this, Loki was speechless. In later generations, Oceanus, Rhea, and Cronus had tormented her, Roy, and Orario to the point of near ecstasy. It was unimaginable how terrifying it would be if the twelve fallen gods appeared at the same time. Compared to the tragic situation of this era, the battles of later generations were extremely restrained.

"Are you really going to accept this outcome? That Amazon girl did it all for you—" Loki said urgently.

Loki's voice grew weaker and weaker, and her narrowed eyes suddenly widened as she stared at Roy in disbelief, at an expression of coldness she had never seen before.

"Are you willing to accept this? Loki, are you kidding me!"

Roy asked in return with a smile, but deep in his eyes seemed to be a raging fire burning.

Loki trembled and cried in fear!

Freya, standing behind Roy, stared intently at his tall figure with her violet eyes. Her small mouth was slightly open, and she breathed out hot air, unable to suppress the excitement and thrill deep within her heart.

In her soul-seeing eyes, Roy's radiant soul shone even brighter than before—a newly rekindled belief!
