Those who reincarnate must die.

The reincarnators, drained of a great deal of energy, collapsed haphazardly in the tunnel, their minds hazy and confused. Even Qin Jie's barrier and Angelica's shield could no longer be maintained, leaving them completely exposed to the lord's room...

But suddenly, the painful feeling of being pulled away disappeared, and even faintly returned. This immediately roused the reincarnators, who struggled to sit up, took out military rations and recovery potions, and swallowed them to regain as much strength as possible...

The first to regain his senses was Mane Wolf. Leaning against the cold, hard wall, he laboriously stepped into the lord's room. Frowning, he saw the enormous corpse lying on the ground, slowly decomposing, and Zhang Lang standing to the side, waiting for the crystals to crystallize...

"Hunter...you won?" The maned wolf blinked in disbelief, turning to look at the horrifying bloodstains on the ground. "Injured? Quite badly?"

"It's alright..." Zhang Lang replied dismissively. (Google search reading)

"This isn't a light amount of bleeding..." Maned Wolf swallowed hard. "I still have a bottle of high-grade healing potion here..."

"No need... thank you."

In that short time, the corpses of the three lords had been almost completely absorbed, and a huge crystal rolled out, shining brightly. Zhang Lang bent down, picked it up, and weighed it in his hand.

Seeing that he didn't seem injured, the maned wolf tried asking again, "You also have healing skills?"

Zhang Lang glanced back at him, seemingly realizing he had asked too many questions. The mane-like wolf wisely shut up, giving an awkward smile. At that moment, the other reincarnators recovered and entered the lord's hall.

"It's over? We've already won? What happened...? I can't remember anything... Wait, why is my armor damaged?"

"Damn it, I missed the final battle! Hunter, how dare you kick me!"

"Wow, why is there so much blood on the ground? It looks like someone was shot!"

"Brother Hunter, are you injured? Are you alright?"

"He's already taken down the lord, what serious consequences could he possibly face?"

"My puppet has healing abilities, though not strong, it should be of some help..."

…………

People came over chattering, but Zhang Lang didn't bother to respond to them all, simply saying, "It's nothing." At that moment, a strange noise interrupted everyone. Where the lord had fallen, the floor tiles began to rise and deform, eventually forming a huge magic door with two options: open and close.

"The eighth floor is already this powerful... who knows what the ninth floor might hold..." Mane Wolf frowned.

"We've come this far, aren't we going to go down to the last level and take a look?" Olissis was clearly unwilling to give up. Angelica, however, didn't unconditionally support him this time. Instead, she advised, "Olissis, you're not in good shape right now, so don't rush things..."

"I think so too!" Qin Jie nodded. "As the final level, the difficulty will definitely increase significantly! If we can't clear it within the time limit, the City of Radiance absolutely cannot withstand such powerful monsters!"

"Indeed!" Tuka agreed. "Let's close it..."

While everyone was discussing, Zhang Lang had already taken out gloves from his ammunition pouch, put them on, stepped forward, and chosen to fire...

"Hey!" By the time the others realized what was happening, it was too late. Olissis yelled, "What are you doing? Why did you suddenly turn it on?"

"Exactly, we haven't come up with a solution yet!" Angelica chimed in. "This kind of thing should be decided by a vote! How could you make such a decision on your own!"

Faced with the accusations, Zhang Lang didn't even bother to turn his head, and simply strode into the ninth floor...

Upon seeing this, the others exchanged glances and followed them inside.

Unlike the previous eight floors, the space on this floor does not seem to be as spacious or complex.

The ninth floor appears to be inside a massive tower, with a roughly circular area only a hundred meters in diameter.

Looking up, solid, white walls adorned with intricate patterns rose from the ground, eventually converging at a height of over two hundred meters to form a towering dome. A chain hung from the dome, from which hung a golden cross. A disheveled woman, shackled and chained to the cross, hung her head, motionless.

Looking around, the walls, the dome, and the ground all seemed to be one seamless whole, with no exit in sight...

Could it be that this is the only size of this floor?

Where is the monster? Apart from the woman hanging from the ceiling, there are no other creatures to be seen!

Just as everyone was wondering, the golden cross in the sky suddenly emitted a crisp, metallic cracking sound!

"Click! Click!"

"It's the shackles!" Murong Lan exclaimed, her exceptional eyesight revealing that the shackles binding that woman had broken!

Everyone looked up and saw that as the shackles broke, the golden cross slowly collapsed, and the woman began to fall with gravity, her long hair flowing up to reveal her stunningly beautiful face...

"This face... I feel like I've seen it somewhere before..." Using the electronic eyes of his power armor, Thunder could see the woman's features clearly from a hundred meters away: "It looks like..."

Before she could finish speaking, six pairs of pure white wings suddenly unfurled from the woman's back, and her entire body emitted a dazzling light that blinded all the reincarnators...

"It's her!" Everyone recognized her now: "It's the Radiant Goddess from the square statue!"

Every day, the Reincarnators have to pass through the Palace Square to hand in their tasks and exchange for bounties. They are very familiar with this most iconic building in the City of Light!

According to legend, this Radiant Goddess was the elder sister of the first emperor of the Pan-Human Empire a thousand years ago. She entered the dungeon to deal with the rampant monsters and never came out again... Could it be that she has not died all these years, but has been imprisoned in the deepest part of the dungeon?

"A thousand years..." The Goddess of Radiance stood in mid-air, looking down at the reincarnators: "For a thousand years, no one has come here... no one has come to this vile cage... What? My despicable brother finally couldn't bear to leave his sister and has come to end her life?"

"Younger brother? Ending his sister's life?" Everyone was shocked. "What on earth is going on?"

"Watch out, high energy reaction!" Thunder's detection alarm blared. Upon hearing this, Qin Jie immediately summoned a double barrier to envelop everyone, while Angelica also set up a barrier as a third layer of protection!

The shield had just been erected when the Goddess of Light shook one of her wings, and a beam of scorching white light shot out!

Barriers and barriers were rendered useless before this white light, instantly pierced through, and the residual force swept across the crowd, separating the reincarnators to two sides...

"Aaaaaah!" Several piercing screams rang out from the crowd, with Angelica being the first to be hit!

The girl who stood at the front and erected the barrier has now completely lost her right arm, and the wound on her shoulder is as black as charcoal, obviously evaporated instantly by that white light!

And then there was Zhao Ying, who had just been standing behind her. His left forearm, along with the throwing knife in his hand, had disappeared. Tuka, who was next to him, wasn't hit head-on, but he was only grazed, yet his shoulder was charred and severely burned!

Thunder, the massive mechanical arm was also severed by the white light, but after all, it was a machine made of super alloy material. Although the arm was broken, it was only metallized and not completely vaporized... Moreover, with such a huge armor, the pilot's arm was not stuck in the mechanical arm, so this attack did not hurt the pilot!

Then there's Michiko, who was hit the hardest. The white light basically covered her face directly. However, the powerful attack triggered the puppet's substitution function, switching the master and servant roles. The puppet was completely burned, while Michiko escaped unscathed!

"How dare you?!"

Upon seeing Angelica severely injured, Olissis was immediately enraged. His entire body shone brightly, his golden hair flashed, and his greatsword glowed with boundless sword light. He activated some kind of movement skill and sprang up, charging towards the Goddess of Light!

The goddess snorted coldly, and with a slight tremor of her other wing, another beam of light shot out!

Olissis was caught in mid-air and unable to dodge. Just as he was about to be hit by the light, a dark shadow flashed by, snatched him away, veered in mid-air, and returned to the ground, casually tossing Olissis to the ground.

It was Zhang Lang! Only he had the ability to save people from the hands of the Goddess of Radiance.

As for Olissis, he lay on the ground letting out a piercing scream!

His legs were gone below the knees! Zhang Lang was a step too slow; he saved his life, but not his legs!

"Heh... You've got some skill! But it's useless. You're all going to die. I will definitely get out of here and unleash the rage that has been imprisoned for a thousand years across the land, making my brother and those foolish humans who supported his rule pay the price!"

The goddess in the sky grew increasingly agitated, her eyes turning red. This time, she raised her wings to gather strength. Zhang Lang frowned and shouted, "Retreat!"

The group immediately dragged the wounded into the portal behind them, and finally escaped back to the eighth floor before the white light shone down again!
