Bert, the werewolf standing to the side, shrugged: "Building a good relationship with him? I think it's difficult. This guy's style is extremely domineering. That day, Lord Rasdes's retinue was just standing on the roof when he was killed by him."
Finn frowned and said in a low voice, "Bert, I know you and Delos were on good terms, but his death was entirely his own fault."
"Even our own god specifically instructed us not to provoke him. We should just watch from a distance and see if there's a chance to make contact. He didn't listen and instead raised his bow to provoke us. Such a person deserves to die. Keeping him around will only cause trouble."
Bert was somewhat unconvinced, but out of respect for Finn's authority as commander, he casually replied, "Yes."
Finn frowned immediately, then stopped in his tracks after a moment's thought: "Bert, you don't need to come along this time. I'm not comfortable with Lord God having only Hought by his side right now. You should go and follow Lord God."
Finn's blatant attempt to distract him caused Bert to frown and say with some displeasure, "Commander, I know the gravity of the situation, I won't cause any trouble later."
Finn turned to look at him and the others, and said in a deep voice, "This is not a matter of whether you know it or not. You have been with the Gods for so long that you have become accustomed to their casual attitude and forgotten their majesty."
“Normally these things don’t matter. The gods don’t care about your unintentional offenses sometimes. But now we are going to come into contact with someone who has never appeared before, a Level 8 or even Level 9 person whose power is comparable to that of a god.”
"Especially since this person's mood is unpredictable and we are currently strangers, I don't want any of you to end up becoming enemies because of your carelessness and offending us."
“We are not afraid of dying, but it is unforgivable to cause trouble for God, especially for you, Bert, with your unruly personality. Do you understand the seriousness of this matter?”
Having also come from that chaotic and dark era, everyone felt a strong sense of authority emanating from Finn when he became serious at this moment.
"Alright, that's settled then. Bert, go back and stay by God's side to protect Him. We'll go down with you."
"One of our objectives is to see what that otherworldly being named Jing intends to do down there, and whether he will cause significant damage to the underground city. The second is to see if there is an opportunity to ease tensions and improve relations, thereby increasing God's leverage, understand?"
…………
On the seventeenth floor, Jiang Jing and Heizuka Shizuka, who had just come down, happened to encounter the floor master, the giant monster Goliath, who was over ten meters tall, and pairs of scarlet eyes emerged from the caves behind them.
However, intimidated by the majesty of the floor master, the monsters only dared to hide deep within the cave, staring at the two surface creatures with murderous and crazed eyes.
"This monster is huge, Jiang Jing."
Hiratsuka Shizuka, who was almost half-lying in Jiang Jing's arms, looked at the giant in front of her in surprise, but there was no fear or panic in her eyes when facing Goliath's imposing presence.
Having traversed seventeen floors in a row, she had already witnessed many terrifying monsters being casually wiped out by Jiang Jing.
"Hmm, but it looks good but is useless." Jiang Jing said, blowing a breath at the roaring Goliath.
call!

P.S.: Ahem, I had some writer's block today, around 7600 words. I'll make up for it with a chapter after deducting the minimum requirement. I'll try my best tomorrow to see if I can manage a 10,000-word update! ^_^

Chapter 263 The Time Paradox Corridor, Leviathan
Unlike the icy breath that extinguishes stars and freezes galaxies, when Jiang Jing exhaled, a scorching storm that melted everything in front of him engulfed him.
Under the scorching storm that erupted like the sun's fiery tongues, Goliath, the seventeenth floor lord who was still roaring, was instantly reduced to ashes, followed by the underground walls behind him.
Collapse, melting
In the blink of an eye, an underground lava lake of unknown depth, filled with blazing fire and magma, appeared in front of them, bubbling and gurgling with flames.
Such a dramatic change in the landscape was nothing short of miraculous, leaving Finn and the others, who had been cautiously following Jiang Jing as he crumbled through the collapsed passages, utterly stunned and speechless.
"Captain, I remember this is the entrance to the eighteenth floor passage guarded by the seventeenth floor master, right?" Ais's hand, which was resting on the hilt of her sword, showed prominent veins, and her usually expressionless face was solemn in the light of the lava fire.
Finn led the others forward a few steps, looking at the scorching lake dozens of miles below the fault line, suppressing the horror in his heart: "Well, but it's not like that anymore. Today, to go down to the eighteenth level, we just need to go there."
As they spoke, everyone couldn't help but look at the collapsed abyss below, where gusts of damp, cold wind blew up from below.
With one arm around Hiratsuka Shizuka, Jiang Jing and the other descended from the sky amidst a shower of rubble, landing outside the trading market where adventurers gathered in the eighteenth level of safe zone.
Boom boom boom boom!!
Filled with dark magic, hundreds of meters thick and hundreds of thousands of tons of rubble fell with earth-shattering force, causing the ground to tremble violently.
"What happened?"
"What happened?"
"Everyone, be careful..."
A group of agile adventurers rushed out of the market, looking at the dusty place in the distance as if facing a formidable enemy, their expressions extremely solemn.
"Jiang Jing, isn't this... a bit too ostentatious?" Hiratsuka Shizuka, who was being held by Jiang Jing with one arm around her, opened her mouth, unsure how to describe Jiang Jing's domineering and shortcut-taking style.
Hiratsuka Shizuka had already been stunned and numb along the way, and now, when she looked up at Jiang Jing's profile, her eyes were filled with nothing but admiration and curiosity about her surroundings.
Jiang Jing smiled faintly and said indifferently, "Arrogance? It's only arrogant to act recklessly when you don't have the strength and confidence. Why should you be timid when you have the strength and confidence?"
After speaking, Jiang Jing glanced at the people in the distance. He did not immediately break through the nineteenth-level underground passage. Instead, he looked down and then kicked down again.
However, in this instance, Jiang Jing did not simply use brute force to collapse the rock layer containing magical power below; he also combined it with a will to break through space.
Once you get here, each level of the underground city is no longer a direct path to the ground, but is instead enveloped and isolated by spatial forces.
Jiang Jing anticipates that the deeper underground layers are no longer part of this world, but rather have formed independent small spaces and miniature worlds.
Rumble!!
A massive earthquake shook the earth, causing the earth to churn and a deep, dozens-of-miles-long chasm that nearly tore apart the eighteenth level appeared beneath Jiang Jingyi's feet.
Boom boom boom boom!!
Jiang Jing is like a domineering Tyrannosaurus Rex, rampaging through the fragile labyrinth of the underground city, tearing apart layers of land as it advances.
Those dangerous labyrinths that caused countless deaths and injuries to adventurers and prevented them from exploring could not stop his progress. After all, no matter how big your labyrinth is or how many or how ferocious the monsters guarding it are, you are helpless against someone who can simply flip the table and smash through the earth.
As the earth continued to tremble, dozens of gods gathered once again at the top of the Tower of Babel in Orario, but this time everyone's expression was very solemn.
"What does that otherworldly person want to do?"
The guild leader, an old man who usually didn't care about anything, sat solemnly in the main seat, while the gods who usually ignored him all sat obediently and respectfully below.
“His statement that day about looking for something is definitely true.” Loki, abandoning his usual carefree and unreliable demeanor, sat down on the lower side, his eyes gleaming.
The Lord of Civilization and Knowledge, Tedenus, narrowed his eyes and slowly said, "Looking for something... Judging from his expression, it seems he's looking for something in the underground city. What's down there...?"
Instantly, all the gods present seemed to realize something, and their expressions changed drastically.
"It shouldn't be there. You don't need to worry too much. Even now, we can hardly get close to that place after we break the seals on our bodies."
Freya said calmly, "And even if his goal is there, as a being without divinity, can he get through below? Human strength has its limits; he will eventually run out of energy."
"Over the past thousand years, the area below has been eroded by the aura it unintentionally emitted, and has long since become a place more dangerous than hell, where many monsters have been born and nurtured that even gods may not be able to defeat."
"Not to mention the final seal, which was powerful enough to prevent any god or creature below the god level from getting close."
Freya smiled alluringly: "Compared to that, I'm more curious about his destination, how he knows about its existence, and how he can show us just how strong he is."
"There's no use talking about this now. We can't go down there anyway. Let's wait for news first," the guild leader said calmly, then added in a deep voice.
"If that otherworldly being's goal is really there, then kill him at all costs when he returns from his first expedition. At that time, one of you will be needed to break the seal."
"Of course, we will replenish the original divine power that each of us consumed when we are sent back, so that it will not suffer a loss."
None of the gods present objected to the guild leader's proposal. Even Freya, who desperately wanted Jiang Jing, was only considering whether she should break the seal herself and bring Jiang Jing back to the divine realm.
Clearly, the thing at the very bottom of the dungeon was something that even these gods, who had lived for billions of years and were utterly bored, were extremely wary of. After all, they were just bored, not wanting to die.
However, in the eyes of these people, even if Jiang Jing is powerful, it is impossible for him to break through the underground city in one go. In the end, he will be exhausted and retreat like those expeditionary teams.
After all, even the more powerful Zeus and Hera's retinue, with many level 7 members, were unable to progress beyond the sixty-plus levels and were forced back by the endless stream of powerful monsters.
The entire underground city originally had a hundred layers when it was sealed, not to mention that it has expanded on its own over the past thousand years. Now, no one knows exactly how many layers there are underground.
"Kami-sama."
A Level 6 Amazon warrior from Loki's retinue, Bert and Freya's retinue, pushed open the door and entered. He first bowed respectfully to his chief god, then to the other gods, and then began to report.
Just as the gods were quietly listening to Bert and the other man's report, the entire city of Orario erupted in commotion.
Everyone learned from the adventurers who had to evacuate due to the monster riots in the dungeon that a Tyrannosaurus Rex had appeared in the dungeon today.
A powerful being who used terrifying strength to directly penetrate layer after layer of underground cities, and who continued to delve deeper, is also the source of the constant earthquakes that occur on Earth today.
Hoho! !
Twenty-seven underground levels, the air is filled with endless poisonous creatures. One after another, ferocious monsters roar, as if they have sensed some kind of threat and all of them have become violent, attacking whatever they see and even killing each other.
puff! !
Just as a powerful two-headed dragon flew over a mountain wall, one of its heads was shot down by a flaming spear that suddenly shot out from below the cliff.
At the same time, just as the other head was about to roar in anger, a sharp sword light flashed through the air and a crescent-shaped sword light slashed it down.
boom!!
The enormous dragon corpse fell to the ground and instantly turned into black smoke and disappeared, leaving behind a magic crystal the size of a fist.
Finn looked solemnly at the enormous monsters below: "We've reached the twenty-seventh floor, and we still haven't caught up with him."
"The monsters in the entire dungeon are now in an uproar. Many monsters from the lower levels have appeared on the upper levels through the passage he broke through. Hopefully, Rivera and the others who stayed behind can stop them."
The original team kept encountering rampaging monsters, and Finn sensed that something was wrong. He decided to leave Riveria and the others, who were physically weaker, to help defend the area, while he and Ais chased after them.
Furthermore, the two had already abandoned their original goal and were now chasing after Jiang Jing to find out what he was up to.
Unfortunately, even though they followed the passage left by Jiang Jing down, they still couldn't catch up with him. Moreover, because they kept encountering monsters trying to rush to the upper level, their stamina began to deplete faster.
Meanwhile, Jiang Jing had already brought Hiratsuka Shizuka to the forty-ninth level, a vast underground world with a floor and ceiling a thousand meters high and a surrounding radius of hundreds of miles.
Because Jiang Jing broke through the area at the core where the energy was most concentrated, he encountered the floor master of this floor, Baror, who possessed the strength of an ordinary LV7, as soon as he came out.
A giant, ten meters tall, lies asleep beneath the crystal wall, its body pitch black and shrouded in black smoke, with two enormous eyes, one open and one closed.
In Jiang Jing's eyes, a Level 7 monster in this world was only three stars, equivalent to the Golden Core stage of immortal cultivation. So, before this monster, which was equivalent to the peak of three stars and had the benefit of being on a floor, even woke up, Jiang Jing's eyes lit up.
boom!!
As the mushroom cloud rose, the entire underground level shook.
Looking at the scorching, destructive shockwaves outside that were blocked by an invisible defense, Hiratsuka Shizuka, who was being held by Jiang Jing, couldn't help but complain, "Jiang Jing, should I say something admiring in this situation, like shouting '666'?"
Along the way, having witnessed Jiang Jing create magma lakes with a single breath and tear the earth apart with a wave of his hand, and having seen this scene of two beams of destruction shooting from his eyes several times before, Hiratsuka Shizuka was speechless.
At the same time, regarding Jiang Jing's behavior, she felt that even if the gods in mythology appeared and encountered Jiang Jing, they would only be beaten up.
Faced with Hiratsuka Shizuka's criticism, Jiang Jing thought about it seriously and nodded: "Hmm, I think it's okay, otherwise it feels like something's missing if no one watches the show. Shizuka, shout '666' a couple of times and let me see."
