Meanwhile, on the other side of the battlefield.

"Hmm..."

Song Shan and Chen Ye slowly awoke from their coma.

Their memories were still stuck on the moment when Lin Hui used the Earth Scepter to cover them with an earthen bowl, and then they were wrapped up by several thick vines.

The suffocating feeling of facing death still lingers in my mind.

However, when I opened my eyes again...

What came to my ears, however, was the pleasant "mission completed" notification from the system.

"Yezi! Look!"

Song Shan stared tremblingly at the blueprint in his hand. "I got a Tier 2 spirit technique upgrade blueprint!"

Chen Ye was also stunned; he too had obtained an extremely valuable [Specialization Sequence Blueprint].

The two looked at each other and saw deep shock and bewilderment in each other's eyes.

"What happened?"

"We just cleared the game like that? We got through it while lying down?"

"I didn't do anything, I just fainted..."

"Brother Ye! Brother Song!"

Just then, an excited voice, tinged with a hint of crying, rang out.

Chen Ye turned around abruptly and saw Chen Yi stumbling towards him in the distance. Although his face was dirty, he couldn't hide his joy at surviving the ordeal.

"Thank goodness, you're alive too!" Chen Ye rushed over and hugged Chen Yi tightly, his eyes instantly reddening.

Chen Yi scratched the back of his head, looking puzzled, and said, "Brother, I was sleeping at the police station just now, and I heard an explosion outside, then nothing happened. I wanted to go out and check, but the fog had all disappeared..."

They had just arrived here.

Then I heard the sound of the side quest being completed.

It feels like a dream.

Although Chen Yi didn't see what happened, everyone's eyes were drawn to the man standing in the middle of the ruins in the distance.

Only him.

It could only be him.

Watching Lin Hui's retreating figure, Song Shan couldn't help but sigh, "This feeling of being able to win even in a nightmare-level dungeon... honestly, I've never fought such an exhilarating battle in my life..."

Chen Ye smiled, a smile that was both bitter and relieved: "Indeed, I've experienced this feeling twice, and each time... I was deeply moved."

the other side.

Inside a huge, upside-down earthen bowl.

"Bang!"

The soil clods collapsed.

Using her supernatural abilities, Xia Yun'er finally broke through the protective shell and, along with the Park brothers, Park Ke and Park Chang, rushed out in a disheveled state.

The three of them breathed in the fresh air deeply, as if trying to expel all the stale air from their lungs.

"Captain, we cleared the level? We really cleared it?" Park Chang's eyes widened, and he pinched his cheek, wincing in pain, his face full of disbelief.

Parker stared blankly at the dissipating mist around him, muttering to himself, "Could this be an illusion?"

Xia Yun'er took a deep breath and looked down at the glowing blueprint in her hand.

[Tier 3 Spiritual Arts Specialization Upgrade Blueprint].

Everything felt so real.

That nightmarish dungeon that drove us to despair was finally cleared.

Could it be that mysterious woman wielding the red spear?

Xia Yun'er took a deep breath, and then out of the corner of her eye, she saw the Freedom Alliance members in the distance who had turned into wood.

She recalled the scene from before—Lin Hui had specially sealed them in earthen bowls to protect them.

In other words, if Lin Hui hadn't appeared, they would have certainly died in the aftermath of that battle.

Xia Yun'er's gaze was complicated. She looked at the two team members behind her, especially Park Chang, and said sternly:

"Park Chang, if I ever hear you say anything disrespectful to Mr. Lin Hui again, or do anything foolish, I will expel you from this group!"

"No, Miss..." Park Chang panicked, his legs went weak and he almost knelt down. "I know I was wrong! I really know!"

Although Park Chang is arrogant and has a foul mouth, he is not a bad person at heart.

A life-saving grace is like being reborn by parents.

Xia Yun'er snorted coldly, straightened her disheveled clothes, and led her team toward Lin Hui.

……

At this moment, Lin Hui had already deactivated the [Deus Ex Machina] state and, with the four women, quickly arrived at another part of the battlefield.

There, Evelyn lay quietly in a pool of blood.

Upon seeing this, Bai Ling rushed over and knelt down: "Lady Evelyn! Quick, let me see your injuries..."

A green healing light had already appeared in his hand.

Lin Hui had already briefly introduced Evelyn's identity to the four women, so they all knew that she was the previous "Annie".

Evelyn shook her head slightly, a poignant smile appearing on her deathly pale face, and gently pushed Bai Ling's hand away.

"Thank you, Miss Bai Ling. It's no use... I know my own injuries."

The huge hole in her chest had stopped bleeding, because all the blood in her body had long since drained away. She was clinging to her last breath by "stealing" the concept of her own injury.

Now that the battle is over, the obsession that sustained her has dissipated, her strength is exhausted, and death is only a matter of moments.

but.

She was not sad.

As she listened to the system's notification that she had cleared the level, an unprecedented sense of relief welled up inside her.

It's been over twenty years.

So many comrades died, and so much suffering was endured.

Finally... it's over.

All of this is thanks to the man in front of me.

Evelyn's eyes, beginning to glaze over, looked at Lin Hui, and she said gratefully in an extremely weak voice, "Thank you..."

Lin Hui waved his hand, his mood somewhat heavy.

Looking at the huge, unhealable hole in Evelyn's chest, he slowly exhaled.

If it weren't for Evelyn's years of planning, if she hadn't given him the Holy Lance at the last moment and even replenished his spiritual power, this battle would never have been completed so perfectly.

Evelyn used the last of her strength to struggle to her feet, but in the end she could only lean helplessly against a pile of rubble.

She said weakly, "The deal we... made before?"

Lin Hui's eyes narrowed; he knew what Evelyn was referring to.

He nodded emphatically, his tone solemn: "I promise you, I will take Lilith away from here and take good care of her! As long as I live, no one can hurt her!"

Upon hearing this promise, the last trace of anxiety in Evelyn's eyes finally dissipated.

She raised her hand, trembling, and snapped her fingers.

"Smack."

next second.

Ripples spread across the air in mid-air.

A delicate girl of about twelve or thirteen years old, dressed in a white princess dress, appeared out of thin air and slowly fell to the ground like a feather.

Her eyes were closed, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and a sweet smile lingered on her lips, as if she were immersed in a beautiful dream.

It was Lilith, who had disappeared before.

Lady Evelyn reached out with difficulty, her hand trembling as she touched Lilith's head. Her fingertips traced her daughter's soft, flaxen hair, her eyes filled with tenderness, reluctance, and heartache...

"Lilith... my little Lilith..."

She spoke slowly, her voice seeming to drift from a great distance:

"Lilith...she never ate the sacred fruit. For the past twenty-two years, I have protected her with a ring bestowed by the gods, preventing her from being corrupted by the curse..."

As she spoke, a silver ring that had become transparent appeared in her palm.

"To deal with Theranos, I reclaimed the ring's power. Lilith's soul was preserved, but her memories will be incomplete... She may forget many things, forget you, even forget me..."

"Please, everyone... don't take offense..."

Bai Ling's eyes instantly reddened. She stepped forward and grasped Evelyn's cold hand: "Don't worry, Lilith will be my own sister from now on. I will take good care of her, I promise!"

Su Qingqian, Jiang Qingyan, and Liu Xi nodded emphatically in agreement.
