With a muffled groan, the Demon King used his intact left hand to grab the last glimmer of light from the simulated star map that hadn't yet faded away, and threw it at the flying bird, blowing the girl away.
Meanwhile, the aftershocks of the remaining simulated star maps that had just swept out also prevented the others from pursuing them.
Even though he wasn't in his full potential, being toyed with by a few juniors despite being a two-digit number like him clearly showed resentment under the Demon King's mask, but he still turned around and quickly retreated towards the crater.
Perhaps feeling too ashamed, he didn't even utter a harsh word.
However, the crisis for Wuming and the others was not over yet.
The surrounding earth had already shattered layer by layer due to the inability to withstand the excessive force, causing the group to slide down with the soil and rocks. However, Kasukabe Yo had exhausted his strength, and Izayoi's right hand was almost completely shattered in the previous battle. The rest of his body was not much better off, and he could not even maintain his consciousness.
The remaining members, whether it be the colorful bird, the flying bird, or the other few who still have the ability to fight, can at most protect themselves in the face of the current situation and cannot save everyone.
Despite having defeated the Demon King, they found themselves in danger and even facing life-threatening situations due to this natural disaster... Just as they were about to resign themselves to fate, a figure as muscular as the Demon King stood in front of the earth's surging waves, seemingly unaffected, and swept them up the current, grabbing those who were caught in the turmoil.
“...They are truly a remarkable bunch. I apologize for being late. I will take over from here on out.”
Hearing the name of Greece's greatest hero, a name that was enough to put one's mind at ease, Izayoi sighed inwardly at how well things had been arranged, and finally relaxed and fell into a deep sleep.
Chapter 802 Reorganization
"Pfft, hahahahahahahahaha───"
In the sky garden on the continent of Atlantis, Bai Ye and Omega were both laughing so hard they were almost in tears, one clutching his stomach and the other pounding the floor.
"...Be serious, it's not over yet."
Alpha gave a soft rebuke, but even though she covered her mouth and nose with her sleeve, the smile in her eyes was hard to hide.
"That's what they say, but did you guys see that guy's expression at the end? It was hilarious, ugh..."
Hearing Bai Ye's words, which he squeezed out while laughing wildly, even Alpha almost couldn't help but laugh.
Although there are four people gathered here alone, there are still fewer than twenty people in the small garden with double-digit or higher status. If we include Kurima, who is still freeloading, the five people in this garden alone exceed a quarter of the total number of all omnipotentiaries.
Their strength is undoubtedly directly proportional to their rarity.
As a result, Typhon, one of the less than twenty people standing at the top, was beaten so badly that he had to run away with his tail between his legs after two years of paving the way by sleeping in late.
Although the result met their expectations, the ease and predictability of it was still inexplicably amusing to them.
"So don't mess around unnecessarily. If you use a fragile body that you may have found temporarily and don't actively adapt to it, that's the kind of result you'll get."
Bai Ye forced a smile and tried to glean lessons from the examples before him.
Judging from what just happened, Gaia Moko was able to control her power perfectly. She could have adjusted her output to a level where even if she had to support herself with her body, it wouldn't have affected her movements too much, but she insisted on going all out. That's probably the main reason for her failure.
Speaking of which, Typhon should still be a very young demon king. If we consider the timeline of the Little Garden, he is even younger than Orpheus, and he spends most of his life sleeping.
"In the end, he's just a giant baby demon king, which is similar to the Star God War back then. It's understandable that he was defeated due to carelessness."
Omega went on to summarize, then shrugged.
"Looks like this game might be much easier... or something, it probably won't be that simple, right?"
"Mmm."
As Omega focused his gaze, Orpheus closed his eyes and nodded gently.
In this confrontation, even the two-digit Gaia Moko is just a mid-level boss.
Perhaps it also serves as a guide.
Moreover, even for such a seemingly pathetic mid-level boss, it would be difficult for Izayoi's side to completely defeat him. The near-mutual destruction that just happened is the best outcome that Orpheus's side can currently hope for.
The focus of this sovereignty war is not actually having a few teenagers confront a two-digit number head-on.
Whether it's Izayoi, His Highness, or the gods and Buddhas, they are all trying to find a path in this game that even the combined power of the gods cannot see.
Whether Gaia's last child is a giant baby or not doesn't change anything.
"Well, thanks to Typhon's lamppost for guiding us, we finally met up with Hercules. Now, considering the current intelligence, can the children draw any conclusions?"
The effects caused by Gaia's last child have now diminished considerably, and in the restored image in front of the four, the figure of 'Nameless' is reflected as always.
……
……
Izayoi gradually regained consciousness amidst the roars and battles of some creature.
"Well……"
Ultimately, being human, he instinctively tried to prop himself up with both hands, but found that he couldn't feel his right hand at all, so he had to move only with his left hand.
"Sixteenth Brother!"
"Senior Izayoi."
Seeing his actions, Flame, Rainbow Bird, and Flying Bird, who were already by the bedside, quickly came to help him.
"Hey, hey, hey...you guys are going way too far..."
Faced with this grand lineup, Izayoi silently stretched out his left hand to block Asuka, who was sitting at the very front.
"You idiot, Sixteenth Brother, do you know how long you've been sleeping?"
Homura protested loudly, and Izayoi, unusually, didn't try to be funny, but just frowned at Homura.
"Speaking of which, Flame, how did you..."
However, a new sound came from that moment.
Their conversation did not seem to escape the notice of one of the parties causing the noise outside.
With a clean, crisp sound of a heavy blow and a loud thud as the body fell to the ground, complete silence returned to the surroundings.
A few seconds later, the huge figure strode into the wooden house that looked like it had just been built.
"The giants nearby have been mostly cleared out."
The burly man who entered spoke in a voice that was bold but not loud enough to be grating.
Yan and the others quickly stood up as well.
"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Hercules."
The name that was uttered was the last one she heard before losing consciousness, before Izayoi.
"...It seems I didn't mishear. I never expected that a great Greek hero would come all the way to save nobodies like us."
"Haha, you don't need to test me anymore."
Hercules simply waved his hand dismissively.
“We were indeed sent by the Heavenly Army. Although we are nominally participants, we are ultimately one of their methods of interfering with the competition.”
Although it might not necessarily work, it's still a safety net. Izayoi didn't think the Heavenly Army would really only let these few pawns in.
"So your appearance here and your saving us was on the orders of the Heavenly Army?"
Although she was a little bothered by the "we" the other person used, Izayoi put the question aside for the time being and frowned as she looked around at the others.
"Are Yan and the others too?"
"No, these children don't know, but I acted according to my own will."
Hercules shook his head.
"In the end, that demon king originally came from our pantheon, and I should have been the one to deal with him personally. But this time I was unable to make it in time, and you had to face him alone. This was my mistake."
This great Greek hero did not give the impression of being rugged due to his physique; on the contrary, he exuded a calm and polite aura.
If they had met in any other setting, Izayoi would have quickly become friends with him, but right now he was feeling rather irritable.
There are just too many issues to worry about.
"But no matter what, I must thank you."
No matter how upset she was, Izayoi would never vent her emotions on the hero who saved them.
"But you just said that the Demon King comes from your Greek pantheon, which means you know something about the Demon King, right? Although I'd love to ask you more, there seems to be a more pressing issue right now."
"Um……"
The bird pursed its lips.
"The entire game area is in complete chaos, filled with killers, including some powerful monsters... Mr. Hercules just knocked one down."
"Ha, it's been a long time since I've seen a demon king who has raised a bunch of minions."
Izayoi pursed her lips.
The last one of this type was Pester, the boss in the starting village, right? It seems her minions were borrowed.
"You can rest assured about that for now. I just went out to hunt those killer species, so there shouldn't be any danger nearby for the time being."
Hercules shook his head.
Izayoi also gave a wry smile.
"Indeed, there is no doubt that the greatest hero of Greece is the greatest hunter."
The boy's expression turned serious the next moment.
"Now that we're safe for the time being... let's organize the intelligence properly."
As he said this, Izayoi looked at Homura.
"For example, why would people who shouldn't be here appear, or how did the volcano appear at that time?"
Chapter 803 Forming an Alliance
"Typhon, the last son of Gaia..."
Izayoi and the others pondered the name Hercules had revealed.
They originally thought they would have to investigate the Demon King's identity slowly, but fortunately, this great hero stepped forward in time to tell them the Demon King's name... at least the name on the surface.
Moreover, it has now been basically confirmed that the Demon King's true form is this continent beneath our feet.
Typhon, the demon king of Atlantis and the last son of the planet.
Of course, it's impossible to claim that this answer has unlocked the secrets of Atlantis.
