"You guys are really something. Why are you talking about the leader?" Tione didn't know what to say. She clearly didn't believe the innocent children's words. "It's very late. Everyone should go to sleep. But when you go to sleep, stay away from Tiona. She's a very restless sleeper."

“Tione was the same way. Last time we slept together, you punched me twice,” Tiona shouted irritably from the side. Tiona retorted, “Wasn’t that because you kicked me?”

Watching the two bicker, the three people next to them relaxed a bit, and then quietly grabbed their bedding and rolled around to the side twice.

In the morning, everyone got up very early. After getting ready, the expedition team set off. The main group rushed towards the central giant tree on the eighteenth floor and then entered the nineteenth floor from there. Qianhu and the others followed. Everyone carried their own weapons, while Chunji and Xia Lei used two pistols to fight monsters from behind.

The monsters on the nineteenth floor couldn't stop everyone's progress. They quickly opened the passage to the twentieth floor, and the Loki Familia kept handing over the dropped items to Senju. However, they would have to wait until they got back to calculate the price.

Chapter 520 Battle Before the Safe Layer

They successfully broke through the next few levels and reached the twenty-fifth level. Finn noticed a giant tree suddenly appearing in the large cavern and warned his team, "Everyone be careful. Stay away from the water source and the giant tree. It's very dangerous there."

“How beautiful,” the Senju clan members were quite relaxed, looking at the dreamlike scene with some disarray, but Nigoran immediately reminded everyone to be careful.

The group then proceeded along the passageway in the crystal cliff, while the flying people darted to one side, guarding against flying monsters that came from all around and catching any team members who accidentally fell. Although in the end, no such fool appeared.

"How ugly," several golden fairies complained as they watched the flying centaurs, then easily killed them. Thousand Hands manipulated a giant tree to crush all the flying monsters like the Flash Swallows.

The monsters on the ground were handled by Loki's Familia, and the passage quickly transformed.

Once they reached the crystal cave, everyone landed on the ground and followed the group forward.

Everyone was very careful along the way. Although there were several monster hordes, they were all wiped out by the group. They didn't encounter any troublesome monsters along the way, especially the two-headed dragon, the boss of the 27th floor, which everyone was wary of, did not appear at all. They quickly broke through to the 28th floor.

On this level, there were more stone giants and ram-horned people. Chunji and Xia Lei were shooting from behind, gaining experience for leveling up. Aisha was fighting fiercely against the monsters with Chunji's magic. Ctholly and the others had a lot of experience dealing with large monsters and quickly cleared them out. Lila and William were bringing up the rear.

The expedition team broke through several floors, and it wasn't until the thirty-seventh floor that Chtholly and her companions encountered their opponents: Obsidian Guards whose bodies were made of anti-magic stones. Chtholly and her companions' magic swords were ineffective, so they switched to the swords and knives used here and were finally able to defeat the enemy.

Naveltri strolled leisurely among the colossi, seemingly using highly skilled footwork, and quickly killed the obsidian colossus beside him.

However, the most active ones this time were Bert and the Amazon sisters. Understanding the crisis, they pushed themselves to the limit. Lila also went down to try it out and felt that the magic-immune colossi were quite powerful. She also collected some fragments and planned to take them back to study.

Senju obtained a bunch of anti-magic stones. Speaking of these dropped materials, it seems that the Loki Familia used Senju as a warehouse. They kept the precious materials and magic stones in their own chests, while the ordinary and large quantities of dropped items were stuffed into Senju's place.

Looking at the mountain of materials in the space, Thousand Hands didn't say much. Anyway, these were already his. In the following floors, everyone encountered a series of huge monsters such as giant snakes, earth giants, fire demons, and flying dragons. Thousand Hands obtained more treasures. Some members of the Loki Familia went to the side to mine or collect while the main battle was going on, and those items were also left with Thousand Hands.

Despite facing many dangers, everyone successfully broke through to the forty-ninth floor under Finn's command, and it only took two days.

No one stopped along the way. In addition to letting them take turns resting in the space, Thousand Hands also provided a large number of potions. Everyone was incredibly energetic. When they were tired, they used panaceas and high-level spirit potions; when they were injured, they drank panaceas and high-level recovery potions; when they ran out of mana, they drank mana potions and high-level spirit recovery potions.

In short, everyone went a bit berserk under the influence of the potion. Finn noticed this, but he couldn't find a reason to stop Thousand Hands. However, he felt that everyone needed to rest before the final battle.

"The final checkpoint of the safe zone is just ahead, the floor master Balor. Of course, it might not appear yet, but everyone be prepared," Finn warned as they entered the forty-ninth floor, while the flying team members observed the monster's movements in the distance from above.

As the group entered, the ground cracked open, and a horde of enormous monsters emerged from the surrounding area. They were all hideous humanoid creatures, which Finn called 'Furmore'.

The battle was fierce. The golden fairies darted through the air, transforming into beams of light to slay the enemy, while the warriors on the ground fought the giants in the same way.

Meanwhile, Senju, along with Chito and Yuri, unleashed their power from the other side in their mechs. No one dared to come to this area; lasers and cannonballs were everywhere, and the monster hordes that came running were quickly annihilated. In the end, the three of them even broke through the earth's layers. Finn, noticing this problem, quickly stopped the three of them from their activities to prevent some monsters from falling to the fiftieth floor, which would be troublesome.

The three of them had no choice but to stop when they saw the scene on the other side of hell ahead. There were no more monsters there, but most of the dropped materials had been destroyed, and the rest were buried in the soil.

Senju refreshed the two's attributes, and after a series of battles, the two finally reached LV4. Feeling stronger, the two began to support the other side again. However, this time the two were sitting in a mecha, with Yuri controlling it. Each attack resolved the crisis on the field.

Seeing how lively the two were, Finn praised them, "You two are amazing! You always manage to spot dangerous spots in advance and find suitable solutions. You are natural-born masters of the battlefield."

"Haha, you flatter me," Senju chuckled. He knew the two of them inside and out. The current situation was just Yuri having a cheat code. She saw the future, and then the Abyss Eye would come up with a solution, and then the problem would be solved smoothly.

The fierce battle finally came to an end. Everyone had wiped out the surging monsters. The support team members immediately stepped forward to collect materials and transport them to Thousand Hands. In no time, the battlefield was cleaned up.

Meanwhile, the combatants who had finished resting began to advance. The entrance to the fiftieth floor was located at the deepest part of the forty-ninth floor, the birthplace of the floor master.

The combat personnel this time are all elites, and each of them is equipped with this antidote potion. Because Balor has a petrification beam that will immediately paralyze anyone who sees it, but the eyes are also its only weakness. Being hit by them will result in death, and they will not open easily.

Since Grace wasn't there to act as a shield, William took the lead this time, wielding the Holy Sword in one hand and the shield provided by Thousand Hands in the other. Ctholly and Finn were on one side, responsible for the main attack, while the rest of the crew provided support, with Riveria playing a supporting role.

Riveria gave

After adding an extra layer of protection, everyone slowly walked in. Perhaps they had triggered the dungeon's mechanics, because a strange cyclops ran out from one of the 'walls of despair'.

Chapter 521 A Showdown Between a Playboy and a Devoted Woman

The battle then began fiercely. Although William felt he could handle the monster, he just slacked off to train everyone. Lila seemed to feel the same way, and they would only take action when there was a life-or-death crisis.

The ensuing battle became more brutal, with people constantly being knocked back, only to get up and fight again. It seemed Finn was also slacking off, while Riveria was only responsible for healing and didn't attack at all.

However, the remaining powerful fighter, Chtholly, was not going to slack off. After the battle had been going on for a while, she found an opportunity to fly behind the enemy and plunge her sword into his back. "Die!"

As Senioris unleashed his power, Balor, who would normally only die from an eye injury, collapsed instantly. The sight of it suddenly turning to dust startled everyone, and then they watched as the monster dropped a magic stone and a giant eyeball.

"How is this possible?!" The Loki Familia members were dumbfounded. An enemy they could only defeat by destroying their eyes had been killed with a single sword thrust. What kind of deadly poison was on her sword?!

“Could that sword be a ‘cursed item’?” Finn thought for a moment, then looked at the loot on the field. “I didn’t expect Balor to drop his eyeball. I’ve never seen such an item before. Miss Ctholly, these loot items are yours.”

“But everyone contributed,” Chtholly slowly lowered herself, “and the eyeballs and stuff.”

Although Tsubaki really wanted it, everyone ultimately decided to give the item to Senju, and the Loki Familia would receive 20% of the item's value.

Senju took the eyeball. Although it was called an eyeball, it was more like a large stone ball. Senju didn't have much of a problem with it, after all, it wasn't human.

After examining it, Senju only knew that it was 'Baror's Eyeball', which had the function of petrification and three uses: first, to make petrification potions; second, to make tools; and third, to be used as material for the Impure World Reincarnation.

However, after thinking about it for a while, Senju chose the second option, since he could now summon it directly. After having Number Six start calculating, Senju followed everyone to the fiftieth floor.

The fiftieth floor is a safe zone, surrounded by a large gray forest. Phosphorescent stone pillars stand dozens of meters above the ground, but the overall atmosphere is quite dark.

Finn led everyone forward and soon arrived at a huge rocky base jutting out from the forest. The Loki Familia then built a forward base here. As agreed, they would stay here for a day and then select members to advance to the lower levels.

Although everyone had reached a safe level and could rest, the Loki Familia members seemed quite restless, brandishing their swords and appearing very agitated. However, Naveltri was trying to provoke Tione, using the fact that their weapons were similar to try and get closer to her.

As a result, Tiony only had Finn in his heart, and coupled with the pressure of the past few days, he immediately snapped, and the two started fighting on the side, while the teammates cheered them on, as if they were afraid the world was not chaotic enough.

However, in the end, the two could no longer hold back. Naveltri also became serious. In this rapid battle of slashes, being distracted to summon a clone or the Holy Sword would result in one's own death.

The two grew increasingly aggressive, engulfing even the nearby tents. Those nearby immediately scrambled away. Taking advantage of the moment when their vision was obscured, Naveltri retreated dozens of meters, looking utterly helpless. "Alright, alright, I give up."

“Szes,” Thione said, his breath steaming, his eyes bloodshot as he stared at Naveltri, “I haven’t had enough yet, let’s go again.”

“No, you’ve already lost,” Tione heard a voice behind her, then felt a violent gust of wind behind her neck as a huge weapon grazed her scalp. Only then did she hear Tiona’s voice, “Watch out behind you!”

"Are you going to kill me?" Tione flew into a rage as soon as she saw what was flying towards her. It was Tiona's Great Twin Blades - Urga II.

Finn, who was discussing things with Riveria, also came over. Seeing this scene, he was about to stop the fight, but Tiona stopped him. "Captain, let me be willful this time. I want to become stronger!"

“Alright,” Finn sighed softly, then looked at Thousand Hands and Naveltri, “what do you two say?”

“Even if they die, I can bring them back, but it’s best if they don’t die,” Thousand Hands responded from the side, while Naveltri switched to the Holy Sword. “How can a man say no? Come at me together, there are two of us now.”

“Oh, this is going to be interesting,” Lila and William chimed in. “Navier has met his match.”

A fierce battle ensued, with Naveltri's main body fighting Tione and his clone fighting Tiona. The battle on Naveltri's side was extremely strange; he seemed impervious to injury and his stamina didn't decrease. He quickly cornered Tione. Tione, seeing his opponent's complete disregard for her attacks, became furious and immediately increased her attack power. However, Naveltri simply drew a beam of light that continuously circled around her, making the situation instantly...

The stalemate has ended.

The battle between the clones was also intense. After being nearly knocked away by a single blow from a clone, Tiona became enraged and went berserk, wielding her large twin blades. The clones, empowered by the Holy Sword, clashed with Tiona.

However, Naveltri also knew that although he had a great advantage on the surface, if things continued like this, he would eventually be worn down by them, since they all had berserk-type skills.

The phantom body suddenly retreated, raising its sword in a strange pose. "Be careful now, or you might die!"

"Jormungandr!" Tiony seized the opportunity to use binding magic, but the holy sword on his body flashed briefly, and he didn't react at all. "The Footprint of the North Star - Extreme Clash!"

Seemingly drawn by a mysterious force, the real body and the phantom, separated by tens of meters, instantly swapped positions, leaving the two in the middle wondering, "What happened?"

Then the two felt a lightness in their hands; their weapons had been broken. "What just happened?!"

"Don't worry, I won't cut any girls," Naveltri said coolly, though inwardly he was complaining that this newly developed skill still had problems; his arm was already fractured, and he would need to drink more medicine later.

"Is that so?" The two girls paused for a moment, then exchanged a glance. "It seems our training isn't enough. Could you please teach us the moves we just learned?"

“Of course,” Naveltri immediately agreed. After watching the battle end, everyone dispersed, then screamed at the scene of the wrecked tent.

Chapter 522 The Conference is About to Begin

Thousand Hands watched silently from the side, then helped everyone repair some small huts. It was already past six o'clock, and dinner had been prepared in the camp. The main ingredients of this dinner were wild vegetables and fruits from the underground city, which were collected by the Loki Familia along the way.

After the group finished eating around the fire, Finn gave instructions, "I will be going back to Orario with Lord Senju in a while. We'll probably be back tomorrow afternoon. Everyone should get some rest tonight. Tomorrow, you will be in charge of leading the selected team members to explore the 51st floor. The rest of you and the Hephaestus Familia will guard the base."

“We understand,” everyone nodded, and Thousand Hands also told William to protect the others.

“Then, when I get back, we’ll explore the fifty-ninth floor,” Finn said, then looked at Tsubaki, “Tsubaki, how’s the weapon preparation?”

“It’s ready,” Chun patted the box next to her, “but because they will become dull during battle, it’s best to use them just before the battle starts.”

“Understood. Then we’ll make the assignments when I get back,” Finn nodded. “Alright, if any new species launch a sneak attack, use the magic sword and magic. I’ll leave the command here to you, Ans.”

“Yes!” a girl with black cat ears next to her replied.

After Finn finished arranging everything, Senju and he teleported back to Orario. Senju was going back to Orario to attend the Great Assembly of the Gods, while Finn was going to discuss the events of the past few days with Loki and bring back a batch of antidote potions to guard against possible cursed items. Senju and Yuri stayed on the fiftieth floor as the exit for their retreat.

After returning here, Senju handed Dix over to Finn. After only two or three days of neglect, most of the group became somewhat mentally impaired. After all, Senju had locked them up in a small underground cavern, and with the torment of the parasitic tree, the group felt as if several centuries had passed.

Senju made the parasitic tree shrink back and then handed it over to Finn to deal with. He threw some food and torches at the remaining people and let them fend for themselves. It was already night, and Senju decided to go there for a meeting with Hestia tomorrow.

Finn nodded, held the unconscious Dix up with his spear, and walked out, disappearing into the shadows in a moment. After watching him leave, Senju first placed a sign in front of Hestia's house, reminding her to call him when she attended the tournament.

Then Senju took a shower at home, changed into her pajamas, and went to sleep.

However, when Senju woke up in the morning, he didn't hear anyone knocking on the door. After eating breakfast, there was still no response from outside. Senju looked outside and saw that the sign he made was still properly stuck in Hestia's door.

"Aren't they up yet?" Senju wondered. After a while, the door opposite opened, and Hestia, dressed formally (wearing a coat), came out, holding Lily's hand. "Lily, come with me too. Don't stay at home."

"No, no, no, Lily wanted to help Lord Bell clean up, there's no need to trouble the goddess," Lily struggled backward, the two of them pulling and tugging at each other so much that they didn't even see the sign at the door.

"Bang!" The two people struggling at the door bumped into the wooden plank, then squatted down, clutching their heads. "Ouch! Who put that wooden plank at the door?"

"Hey, Hestia, you look great," Senju greeted her as he came out of the house, taking the sign with him. "Are you going to the Great Assembly of the Gods?"

"What? It's Senju," Hestia said, rubbing her head as she stood up. "I haven't seen you for the past few days, I thought you weren't going to participate."

"Haha, how could I not participate?" Qian Shou laughed. "I also want to give my family members some nice-sounding nicknames."

"Is that so?" He

Stia glanced at Senju, "But everyone's titles are all rather strange, so you'd better be prepared."

"Well, hahaha," Senju chuckled dryly. Who knew choosing a nickname would be so complicated? Then his expression turned serious. "Let's not talk about that. Hestia, you need to prepare yourself. Orario is about to undergo a major change. Make Bell level up quickly, or it might perish."

"What happened?" Hestia also became serious. Senju nodded. "That's right. This time in the dungeon, we discovered signs of the Dark Familia. A new round of war is about to begin."

"The Dark Familia?" Hestia asked, puzzled. Lily, standing beside her, tensed up. "Could it be that Dark Familia?"

“Not bad,” Senju nodded seriously, though he didn’t know what she was talking about. Hestia, who was next to him, was also affected by the atmosphere and her face became serious. “Lily, you stay at home and look after Bell. Senju and I are going to the Gathering of the Gods.”

“Yes, Goddess Hestia,” Lily nodded and returned with a serious expression. Senju and Hestia walked towards the Sky Tower, with Senju telling her what had happened along the way.

When the two arrived at the Sky Tower, they encountered Takemikazuchi, who was dressed formally. After Hestia greeted him, Senju learned that there was also someone in Takemikazuchi's Familia who had upgraded to LV2, and his name seemed to be 'Mikoto'.
