Wrong Ground, Spiral Twins

After breakfast, the men and women went their separate ways. Lilyluka also stayed today, and only Su Mo and the other two men went to the Dusk Hall in an orderly manner.

On the way, he was blocked by the gods and was delayed for some time. Finally, when he arrived at the Twilight Pavilion, Welf was taken to the dungeon by a group of people without even entering the door. The team was led by the "Fierce Wolf" and the Amazon sisters.

It feels like the atmosphere in Dusk Hall is obviously different today. It was during Raul's instruction that Su Mo learned the source of this difference - the four LV.5 members of Loki's family had all been upgraded after yesterday's battle.

The reason why several LV.6 players who had just upgraded to level rushed to the dungeon in such a hurry was obviously to try their hands and to adjust their body and mind.

In this regard, Su Mo sighed that the experience package of the Immortal Spirit Clone was indeed large enough, but he did not feel any surprise. Apart from anything else, if his memory was correct, "Sword Princess" should have been upgraded before Bell.

The fact that it has only been upgraded now shows that the butterfly effect is indeed everywhere.

Fortunately, the interference caused by his butterfly was not too great, and the Loki clan was able to improve its strength at this time, which was a good thing for the Loki clan itself, for him, and for the entire Orario.

It can even be said to be quite critical.

"bring it on."

As the 'mentor' opposite him got ready, Su Mo immediately stopped his wandering thoughts and entered an absolutely rational state to devote himself to training.

It kept raining, so the training ground was moved from outdoors to indoors. The training intensity was not high, but under Raul's teaching, the focus was more on consolidating the basics, and there was not much difference between indoors and outdoors.

On the contrary, 'Teacher Ai Si' on the other side felt a little restrained.

Today's training was without Welf, but with an elf wizard.

The newly upgraded 'Sword Princess' taught two people alone. I don't know if it was because she was indoors, or because she had just upgraded and was in the process of adjusting her body and mind, but in any case, she gave people the feeling of being cautious.

Focus on training and time will pass by quietly.

At noon, Su Mo met God Loki in the cafeteria. After hesitating for a moment, he decided to step forward and thank him for deciding the "title" yesterday.

"No thanks necessary."

Loki put his arm around Su Mo's neck, leaned closer and said with a smile: "Tell me, what is the 'trump card' you mentioned yesterday?"

Su Mo immediately returned to silence and quickened his pace to get his meal. It was clear that this guy coming up to him was asking for trouble.

"You went to look for the 'Ace', but ended up going straight to the Ganesha clan. Tell me, is the 'Ace' related to the Ishtar clan?"

Su Mo turned a deaf ear and took the food silently.

"Although Ishtar is willful and reckless, she is definitely not a fool."

"Her plan yesterday was good, but if I put myself in her shoes, I felt that something was missing. It wasn't until I heard Finn say that you were looking for the 'ace' that I was sure that what was missing was a means to make the final decision."

"That woman probably really thinks she has a chance to defeat Freya, so she is reckless and is stirring up chaos."

"She does have a chance of winning, right?"

Su Mo sighed helplessly, "Since you have already guessed most of it, just let me go!"

"Guessing is just guessing. In the end, we have to make sure it's not true."

Loki smiled and took a piece of crispy meat from the plate in Su Mo's hand. "Recently, there have been rumors that the strength of members of the Ishtar clan is not in line with their levels. The guild has verified this several times, but has not found the root of the problem. On the contrary, this morning, Cruz came back and told me that there is a new fox man in your clan."

"Hey, was she originally from the Ishtar clan?"

"The Lord God has accepted her. Now, she is a member of Hestia's Familia."

Loki's family has always been secretly protecting Hestia's family, so it's not surprising that they knew that Hestia's family had one more person.

"So, because of you, Ishtar not only failed to integrate the power of the two clans, but you also snatched away the trump card that could make the final decision..."

After his guess was confirmed, Loki laughed and stuffed the crispy meat into his mouth. "No wonder she wanted to kill you. In a sense, that woman really did nothing wrong. If she could have strangled you in advance, even if she was defeated by Freya in the end, I think she would definitely not be as embarrassed and ugly as she is now."

"She is not that strong. Her sacrifice is inevitable if we want to achieve the goal of the goddess of beauty."

"It's the truth, but you're so anxious to belittle me right now. Are you so worried that I'll snatch someone away?"

“You’re already grabbing food.”

"This is the Twilight Pavilion. Everything here originally belonged to me."

Ishtar has not been deported yet, and she doesn't believe that the fox man has converted.

Su Mo did not refute, but just picked up a piece of crispy meat and handed it over. His expression became solemn and he said calmly: "I saved her once, and I hope she can save me once in the future. She is very important to me."

The calm voice showed determination. Loki looked at the crispy meat handed over with an unchanged smile, but he did not raise his hand to take it. Instead, he loosened his hand around Su Mo's neck, "So, who is the person who stole the food?"

"..."

"But it doesn't matter. You are Little Su Mo after all. I allow you to binge eat and drink in the Dusk Pavilion."

After leaving these words, the fox-like goddess walked away with a smile.

Does this count as being tricked?

Su Mo stared at the red-haired goddess's departing back, and stood there in a daze for several seconds before shaking his head and getting his meal...

Chapter 199: The Heretic’s Invitation.

The center of the world - Orario, the fortress city's operation will not stop because of the good or bad weather.

Many clans accepted tasks from the guild, and several construction clans accepted the guild's commission at the same time. In just a day and a half, most of the ruins caused by the immortal clone had been cleared. The efficiency was extremely high, and the process of preparing for reconstruction was quite fast.

It has to be quick. At this moment, nothing is more important than calming the anger and stabilizing the people's hearts. Before this, the guild had already announced the relevant matters of this unrest and gave a clear conclusion to the matter.

Birds of a feather flock together, and it's hard to tell who is responsible. The murderer has been brought to justice and the evidence is solid. Together with the previous explosion case, the ones who need to take full responsibility for this incident are naturally the Ishtar clan, who are identified as a dark faction, and naturally the wanton goddess of beauty.

The order to forcibly disband the Ishtar clan had already been issued, and all the clan's related assets had been confiscated by the guild. Today, the final verdict on the goddess of beauty was announced, and she was forcibly repatriated, to be executed within two days.

No one and no god defended the goddess of beauty.

Because Happy Street no longer exists.

Even as the most loyal supporters of the goddess of beauty... today there were several male gods crying loudly in the ruins of Happy Street. The crying from the depths of their souls was particularly miserable, which made those who heard it sad and those who saw it shed tears.

It is said that some even prostrated themselves on the ground, pounding the ground with their fists in grief, crying and cursing the beautiful goddess who had turned this place into ruins. In the end, they were forcibly dragged away by their shamed and angry clansmen so as not to interfere with the reconstruction work.

Regardless of the reason, the fact that an embodiment of beauty can achieve this is, in a sense, a subversive ability.

Of course, Su Mo felt that he was not qualified and would definitely not have any mercy on such a goddess.

The funds that the Ishtar family secretly funded the dark faction were already quite astonishing, just the amount that could be verified now. They were even the assistants of many dark factions and the contact hubs of several black markets. They were undoubtedly the biggest thorn in the dark faction's activities in Orario.

The fact that she has fallen to this state is entirely her own fault. Simply deporting her would be too easy for her.

"That goddess completely refuses to communicate. We no longer have any hope. We will probably force her to return tomorrow."

Su Mo was half lying on the bed, the communication bead in his hand glowing slightly, and the voice of Fels came out from it.

"Can't you be a little more decent in the end?"

It is called forced repatriation, but the gods themselves can actually choose to repatriate on their own.

As long as you activate and use your divine power, it will be very easy to return to heaven.

He refused to admit defeat and had completely failed. He did not choose to repatriate on his own and was unwilling to explain what he should explain. He had no magnanimity and no manners, and he did not even give himself the respect he deserved.

Su Mo cannot speak for others, but in his own opinion, the final behavior of this goddess of beauty is really hard to look down upon.

Now that I think about it, the silver-haired goddess's evaluation of her was indeed very insightful. The difference between the two goddesses might just be their "character".

Fels on the other end of the communication bead did not respond to this question, but changed the subject and said, "I contacted the heretics, and they want to meet with you."

"time and location?"

Last night, he asked Fels, the middleman, to help communicate with him. Tonight, he got a reply from Heretic, so Su Mo would naturally not refuse. If the other party wanted to meet, it was not a bad thing at all. But if he didn't even want to meet, that would be a bad situation.

"The 25th floor, Water City, they require you to go there alone."

"What is this? You want to test me?"

The 25th floor is already the lower floor.

Letting a LV.2 reach the lower level alone... If it was really just an ordinary LV.2, doing such a thing would be a life-or-death struggle, not much different from committing suicide.

"They didn't agree, and this is what happened after they argued."

Su Mo thought for a moment and asked directly: "Can you help me prepare the magic stone as soon as possible?"

It is impossible to give up just like that. Since the other party has come to such a conclusion and made such a request, it is not impossible for him to accept some tests as long as he can bring the mermaid princess up.

"You can pick it up tomorrow night at the latest."

"Then tell them that I will leave early the day after tomorrow."

"Are you sure?"

The voice from the communication bead was a little worried, "Not only are there monsters, there are also dark factions in the dungeon. If they find you, they will definitely not let you leave easily."

"I'm not going to joke about my own life."

In addition to meeting the heretics, this trip to the lower level is also a good opportunity to test out another "self".

"Okay, I'll notify them for you."

"Tomorrow, you will also come to the Witch's Hideout. I will prepare a batch of healing elixirs for them, and you can bring them to them."

"Thanks!"

Mali said her companions needed her, and healing was probably one of the reasons. After all, mermaid blood is a natural healing elixir. If she wanted to take the mermaid princess away, it would be appropriate to bring a batch of healing elixir as a gift.

But last time a mermaid heretic was rescued, and in the current heretic team, Mary is definitely not the only mermaid heretic.

"The Monster Festival is held to eliminate people's fear and alienation of monsters, so that heretics can be accepted by the world one day and come to the surface to live. Since you are willing to do this now, both I and Uranus agree and support it."

"As for you, you should have the opportunity to stand on the Heroes Bridge in the future. But once you do this, one day in the future, this will most likely become a stain that is difficult to erase for you. There will no longer be a place for you on the Heroes Bridge. You may even become the object of public scorn!"

Su Mo, knowing his own situation, didn't care about the sage's final warning at all.

"I never thought about becoming a hero. It would be really embarrassing if I was built into a statue and moved to the Heroes Bridge one day. So don't worry about me, and don't worry about these things. Even if the day comes when I am despised by everyone, I think I am already prepared."

Su Mo spoke with a double meaning, very calmly.

But after hearing these words, Fels remained silent for a long time.

After a while, the still faintly glowing communication bead once again transmitted the sage's voice, "At this moment, you are already a hero!"

Su Mo couldn't help but pause for a moment, then he replied jokingly: "When I am really despised by everyone one day, you can say this again, then maybe it can give me some comfort."

"I don't want this to happen at all, but if that day comes, I will definitely do this. Even if the world condemns you, hates you, and curses you, we will let you know that your behavior is not completely unacceptable."

The other party's increasingly serious tone made Su Mo feel more and more uncomfortable. "The future is too far away. Let's do our current work well first."

Chapter 200 Return.

It was a rainy day, with occasional overcast and occasional rain. By the second day, there was no sign of the weather getting better.

Looking at the sky, it's another day with little sunshine, and that's how it should be.

But at noon, the gloomy sky suddenly changed drastically.

Along with a deafening roar, a light that was extremely sacred, extremely bright, and more beautiful than anything in the world appeared.

Countless balls of light appeared at the top of the central tower of Orario, gathered together, and a huge column of light suddenly rose up.

The column of light seemed like a glorious waterfall flowing backwards, piercing through the clouds and the sky in an instant.

That was the light of divine power, a sacred light that should not appear in the underworld. A god who had violated the rules of the underworld was forcibly repatriated at this moment.

Even the common people of Orario, when they saw this extremely bright light, could understand that it was the sign of the gods being sent back to heaven. And those who knew about the final ruling of the guild could clearly know that this must be the return of the goddess named Ishtar.

The goddess who was identified as a member of the dark faction, the goddess who was ultimately defeated, the story of her family has come to an end. The sacred glory that is countless times more brilliant than fireworks is her end in the underworld.

From now on, she will never be allowed to return to the underworld again.

This "forever" may need to be put in quotation marks for gods, but for people in the underworld, it is undoubtedly the real forever.

Su Mo stood in front of the window and looked up at the scene, only to feel his vision was a little shaky.

Even though he was born in the 21st century, he had never seen such a magnificent, bright, and visible sacred pillar of light in his life. In front of this scene that displayed surging power fluctuations and fantasy, he was completely unable to look away.

The sky seemed to be shaking, and the sacred light illuminated the entire Orario at this moment.

Even the spectacular scenes in movies that exist in memory cannot compare with the magical and unreal scene before my eyes.

The glorious pillar of light broke through the clouds, transcended the sky, and finally flew so fast to an area that was beyond the reach of people's eyes.

The light that illuminated the world gradually faded, and the earthquake-like rumbling sound also stopped. When everything returned to silence, the dark clouds that had originally covered the sky over Orario had disappeared, and the bright sunlight faded with the holy light, quietly shining on this fortress city.
