"This……"

Artemis looked at the scene in surprise.

If she was still in the [Heaven], able to fully utilize the divine power, the light cannon swung by the [Sword of Promised Victory] to release her true name would not be a big deal to her.

After all, the 'Arrow of Artemis' that she unleashed with all her divine power and authority had the power to destroy the entire lower world. If placed in the Type-Moon world, it would be billions of times more powerful than a curry stick.

However, in the Netherworld, where the use of divine power is prohibited and anyone who uses it will be forcibly dragged back to the Heaven, the power of the light cannon swung by the Sword of Promised Victory, which releases its true name, is beyond the reach of most adventurers who have been granted the Grace of God.

So, after looking at the passage in front of him that was burned black by the light cannon, and then looking down at the long sword he had drawn, Artemis suddenly had a sense of being "taken to a dungeon by a big boss."

After all, she couldn't bring out her supernatural powers, so relying on her combat skills, she was only at LV2, and maybe she could even fight against LV3, but in a battle like Xia Yan, who could fire a light cannon with just a raise of his hand, it was completely useless.

So, the only thing she can do here... is to act as a human key and open a door?

After seeing Xia Yan clear the area with a blast of light cannon, and then using his lightness skills to dash forward, and Irena and Asthesia casting spells to enhance their physical fitness to catch up, they were about to run out of sight.

Artemis quickly stretched out her legs and ran to catch up.

However, she immediately realized that after opening the door, she was completely useless.

In the passage that had just been washed by the light cannon, there was nothing left now, and several people passed through it unimpeded.

But after walking out of this passage, what comes into view is a more complex building structure consisting of complex forks and suspended stone bridges. And like the previous passage, the surface is covered with disgusting flesh and blood carpet, and dense insect eggs are distributed on the flesh and blood carpet.

The light cannon just now undoubtedly severely stimulated the flesh and blood carpet and the insect eggs on it. The next moment after walking out of the passage, countless black giant scorpions were swarming in from all directions along the flesh and blood carpet, as if gathering into a black tide, about to drown the outsiders who broke into the depths of the ruins.

Facing the black tide formed by the giant black scorpion, Xia Yan remained calm as he used his magic power to summon the [Sword of Promised Victory]. He pinched his fingers and made a gesture, and it turned into a green rainbow and flew out of his hand.

Then, the rainbow-green sword light in the air, one became two, two became four, four became eight... in an instant it turned from one to a thousand.

Then, thousands of green swords filled the entire universe before their eyes. One after another, green rainbow sword lights formed a tight sword net, strangling all the giant black scorpions that touched the sword net with overwhelming force.

Under the crisscrossing of thousands of sword lights, the black tide surging from all directions was strangled into countless fragmented limbs and corpses. Even if the follow-up flow continued, it could not move forward an inch.

At this time, after Xia Yan summoned his flying sword and performed the sword technique of [Thousand Edges of the Universe], Irena also raised the sapphire staff in her hand.

Magic circles appeared in the air one after another.

Immediately afterwards, all the magic circles lit up at the same time, firing volleys of magic bombardments towards the black tide formed by giant black scorpions.

Boom boom boom boom—!

The magic bombardment fired at once by hundreds of magic circles instantly covered the entire black tide visible to the naked eye. Countless black giant scorpions were smashed to pieces and turned into ashes in the blink of an eye under the saturation bombardment.

Soon, under the stranglehold of the sword net formed by [Thousand Edges of the Universe] and the coverage of the continuous volleys of magic artillery fire, the mighty black tide was directly penetrated head-on and reached the deepest part of the Elsos ruins in a short time.

along the way.

Artemis was stunned to find that she had absolutely no room to intervene.

Not only her, but also Astesia. In the team of four, the two goddesses were like vases, watching the sword energy and magic cannons roaring in front of them, directly and unilaterally crushing the monster nest hidden under this ancient temple.

This made Artemis feel quite uncomfortable as she often went into battle with her family members to kill the enemy.

After glancing at Astecia out of the corner of his eye.

Artemis became more depressed.

At this moment, Asthesia, who had also become a "vase", although unable to help, was obviously performing much better than her "burden".

The physical strength of the Super Terran combined with spell enhancement made Asthesia's movements much faster and more flexible than Artemis, allowing her to keep up with Xia Yan and Irena more easily. On the contrary, she was limited by the physical fitness of ordinary people. Even if she ran as fast as she could, she needed the other three to slow down so as not to fall behind.

When they arrived at the underground core area of ​​the Alsos ruins, they entered an empty circular hall similar to the Roman Colosseum and saw a monster with a scorpion's lower body and a human-like upper body.

Artemis felt like she was just a cheerleader on the sidelines to liven up the atmosphere.

Scorpio Andaris - once as famous as Behemoth, Leviathan and the One-eyed Black Dragon, this monster is incredibly powerful, even though it was sealed deep underground by an ancient immortal spirit and survived a thousand years without food or water.

Even if it has been reproducing and eroding the seal for thousands of years, creating a monster nest similar to the dungeon maze level from scratch, and has consumed a lot of vitality and magic power and fallen into a weak state, it is still not an enemy that a mere LV5, LV6 or LV7 can defeat alone.

Its powerful vitality gives it an almost immortal body. It can also temporarily adapt and evolve resistance to the damage it suffers, and it can gain the power of its prey by devouring and fusing its captured prey, assimilating it into part of its own body.

Even this ability of devouring and fusion at the flesh and blood level can have an effect on the gods in the lower realm.

In Xia Yan's opinion, Scorpio Andaris is an alternative version of the Zerg or Alien. If no one is dealing with it, it can erode the surrounding environment on its own, create a nest covered with flesh and blood fungal carpets, continuously generate lower-level monsters of the same type, and continue to devour, fuse, and assimilate other creatures, allowing itself to evolve endlessly.

If a god from the lower world is devoured and merged with it, Scorpio Andaris can usurp and use the god's power and authority by merging with his own body.

In terms of potential, this monster is even better than the one-eyed black dragon that wiped out the Zeus and Hera families and has been unbeatable for thousands of years.

However, for him...

"Roar--!"

With a dragon roar, at this moment, Scorpio Andaris, a half-human, half-scorpion monster who had not yet broken the seal, saw a cluster of light golden light emerging out of thin air in front of him. A dragon swam out from the void, swung its golden tail and hit it.

Just one hit.

Half of Scorpio Andaris's body was smashed to pieces by the hardened space-time structure formed by the diffraction energy covering the dragon's tail.

Immediately afterwards, before Scorpio Andaris had time to regenerate the missing flesh and blood tissue structure in his body, the dragon opened its mouth and spewed out a golden torrent of light at it.

Boom.

The remaining half of Scorpio Andaris's body was swept away by a torrent of light containing the attributes of time and space, and most of its structure was evaporated at once.

Finally, the dragon's claws pressed down, and Scorpio Andaris, who had lost most of his body and was unable to struggle or resist, was pressed down by the dragon to the floor of a circular hall similar to the Roman Colosseum. He let out a sharp and mournful roar, trying to summon the black giant scorpions bred by it from the underground of the ruins and the sea of ​​trees on the ground to come to the rescue.

But its call did not last long.

"Certainly--!"

Xia Yan opened his right hand, and pointed the palm with the golden word "Ding" on it at Scorpio Andaris, and directly used the [Immobilization Technique] to freeze the half-crippled monster.

Then, he raised his left hand into the air and summoned the Holy Grail, throwing it towards Scorpio Andaris who was pinned to the ground by the dragon. It transformed into a stone tower several tens of meters high in the air, pressing down on him.

next moment.

The dragon's figure disintegrated into golden particles and disappeared. Scorpio Andaris, who was no longer restrained, had no time to escape and was crushed under the stone tower. He disappeared into the open light gate at the bottom of the stone tower and fell into the inner space of the [Holy Grail]. In a blink of an eye, he was suppressed by the power of the [Holy Grail] controlled by the spirit of the weapon - Justis.

Then, Xia Yan raised his hand and summoned the [Great Holy Grail] back. It changed from a stone tower several dozen meters high to a model thirty centimeters high, and fell into the palm of his left hand.

"It's done."

"Why does this thing feel simpler than the black giant before?"

Irena came over, looked at the stone tower that Xia Yan was holding in his left hand, and complained:

"If I had known, I wouldn't have followed you down here. That bloody fungal blanket nest is truly disgusting..."

And watching Scorpio Andaris being dealt with so easily.

Artemis froze in place for a moment.

Only then did he realize that his role was to be a cheerleader to liven up the atmosphere outside the stadium.

"No, Artemis, you're not some off-stage cheerleader." As if guessing what Artemis was thinking, Asthesia suddenly said leisurely, "You're just a background figure."

"..."

Artemis turned her head speechlessly and looked at Asthesia, who had also played no role along the way. Just as she was about to speak sarcastically, she saw Asthesia suddenly come forward, hugged Xia Yan's right hand, and buried his arm deep in the groove of her chest, with an expression that said, "I didn't play any role, but I am here to give the heroine a hug after the battle." She gently planted a strawberry on Xia Yan's neck.

"Astecia, you—!"

"Hey, Sister Irena, you've been eating meat and drinking soup for a long time. There's no need to bother me with trying some 'dessert', right?"

"Gu..."

Looking at Asthesia and Irena surrounding Xia Yan.

Artemis couldn't help but think of the 'spoilers' these three had given her before.

In her eyes, two women and one man mixed together, this kind of chaotic relationship between men and women is already quite impure.

But then she thought about what Xia Yan, Irena and Asthesia had said not long ago, that the harem of her destined 'lover' was much larger than this. She, the goddess who would have taken the initiative to throw herself at him for free in the original 'future', could only be considered the fourth mistress among the goddesses in his harem. She didn't know what to say.

After all, gods can judge whether mortals are lying to them. She cannot tell whether what Asthesia said is true or false, but Xia Yan and Irena are definitely telling the truth.

Do I really have to accompany a group of women and goddesses to compete for men?

Or is he a playboy who plays around a lot?

For a moment, Artemis wanted to curse, but her 'lover' was not there, which made her feel angry but had no place to vent. Even after following Xia Yan, Irena and Asthesia back to the ground and reunited with her family members, there was no sign of change.

But Artemis was upset.

Xia Yan obviously didn't care.

Although he also knew that this kind of advance "spoiler" was undoubtedly setting a trap for a rabbit he had never met before, and was definitely framing others into falling into the Shura field of kitchen knives...but he was happy to do so.

Not only him, but also Irena, who was also informed of the main storyline of this "copy" world, was happy to set a trap for others and wait and see the show from the side, without any guilt.

As for Astesia... even if she had completely transformed herself into the intelligent NPC Xingji, she was once a god in the [Heaven], and she didn't mind having fun and watching the show on some of her 'old friends' before leaving this world.

"Alright, Irena, prepare the remote space transfer spell. We should go back to the labyrinth city of Orario... The three of you come over here too!"

Then, Xia Yan asked Irena to prepare for the long-distance space transfer, and called over the three girls from Loki's family who were just there for the occasion. Then, he secretly used telepathy magic, activated his own "soul", and conveyed a series of messages to Artemis, who was obviously distracted by the concern of her family members.

"Goddess Artemis, this is the list of your future female competitors. This is a token of my gratitude for your help in opening the seal—"

"—Except for you, the list is as follows: Hestia, Freya, Lililuca Erd, Sanjono Haruhime, Liu Liong, Helen (real name: Sil Froy), Es Wallenstein, Lefiya Viridis, Diona Silut, Aegina Zuhl, Aegina's sister Nina Zuhl... I don't rule out the possibility that the number will continue to increase in the future~!"

Huh? How many are these?

Artemis' expression froze.

But before she could recover from the luxurious list of female competitors.

Brush it.

Irena had already deployed the inherent barrier of Mimicking Avalon, covering Xia Yan, Asthesia and the three girls from Loki's family. She directly performed a remote space transfer and instantly left the ruins of Elsos in the sea of ​​trees, leaving Artemis in the spot under the confused gaze of her family members, disheveled because of the list of "competitors".

(PS: Because the writing took too long, I simply sped up the plot a bit. If you feel that this chapter is incoherent or watery, I'm sorry orz)

The fourth instance: 126. A real woman kills the enemy with her eyes

For the three girls of Loki's clan.

How uncomfortable it was when I came here.

How easy it is to go back.

In just a blink of an eye, Ais, Tione, and Tiona saw the surrounding scenery suddenly change from the ruins of Elsos in the primeval forest to a sea of ​​flowers that stretched as far as the eye could see.

After their initial surprise, they didn't have time to stay in this gorgeous sea of ​​flowers for long before they saw the scenery before them change again.

The dreamlike sea of ​​flowers slowly disappeared, replaced by the towering outer walls of the labyrinth city of Orario, leaving the sisters Sword Princess and Silut stunned for a moment.

Only after confirming again and again that the city wall before them was the outer wall of the familiar maze city did they exclaim in surprise.

"Incredible! In just a short while, I've traveled from the vast forest in the south of the continent to the outskirts of Orario... What kind of magic is this?"

Tiona said:

"It's much, much faster than flying over there!"

"If there's such an easy way to move, why did you fly over there in the first place, and at such a high speed?"

Tione looked at Xia Yan and Irena with confusion.

"Because I didn't have the exact coordinates before, and even if I wanted to use the inherent barrier to perform a long-distance space transfer, I at least had to know the specific location."

Irena responded casually.

"Well then, ladies, we'll take our leave now."

After returning to Orario, Xia Yan did not have any more interactions or socializing with the three girls from Loki's family. He said goodbye politely and paid the balance to Sword Lady. He demonstrated the method of using the skill [Magic Release] that he had figured out to Es Wallenstein several times on the spot, and left a message saying "If you don't understand anything, you can come to our temporary place to ask for advice." Then he turned around and left with Irena and Asthesia.

After all, he had no intention of stealing the rabbit's harem, nor was he interested in three underage girls.

Compared to the three girls of Loki's family, he was more curious about the two 'God Assassin' series monsters he got today, especially the fact that the will of the dungeon maze gave this series of monsters the ability to restrain divine power in order to target the gods of the underworld.

Now, Scorpio Andaris and the Black Goliath Giant are both suppressed in the inner space of the [Greater Holy Grail], which is a good opportunity for the weapon spirit - Justissa and [Error of No Return] to collect and analyze intelligence together.

After all, the upper limit of the gods in this 'copy' world is still very high, at least higher than the vast majority of gods who left with the Age of Gods in the previous Type-Moon world 'copy'. If their divine power is not unlocked, they will be forcibly sent back to the [Heaven]. Those who can freely exercise their divine power in the lower realms are all at the planetary level.

It is unclear whether it can destroy the planet.

But destroying the entire surface of the planet and washing the surface single-handedly should probably be no problem.

Therefore, even if they unlocked their divine power in the lower realms and activated the hidden energy source on their backs at the cost of being dragged back to the [Heavenly Realm] due to their limited energy levels, they wouldn't be able to unleash much divine power. However, the 'God Assassin' series of monsters created by the will of the dungeon labyrinth were surprisingly immune to divine power of insufficient energy levels...

...What is the concept of this?

It's probably like a grain of sand is against a planet. Even if the planet can only use a tiny part of its huge energy on the grain of sand for a short time, the sand is not crushed into basic particles.
