Now, in order to destroy Orario and see the birth of chaos and fighting in the world, Dionysus is constantly working hard. He currently has two primary goals.

The first is the Loki Familia, Orario's most powerful exploration-oriented Familia. They frequently venture deep into the dungeons and are the core force maintaining intelligence and order within them. If they were destroyed, the guild would lose control of the deep dungeons, and the adventurer system would be thrown into chaos.

The second is the Hephaestus Familia, a top-tier forging clan that provides equipment to all major factions, particularly strategic materials like magic swords. If they were paralyzed, the survival rate of mid- and lower-level adventurers would plummet, indirectly weakening the city's overall combat power.

Yesterday, Dionysus accidentally saw the second team members of Loki's family and the supernova of Hephaestus' family entering the dungeon, and he felt that the time had come.

Dionysus needed to create a "seemingly natural" disaster to injure both of these families at the same time.

And the contamination of divine blood is the perfect excuse.

It can not only trigger a riot in the dungeon, giving rise to the [abnormal situation] in the dungeon, causing the second team of Loki's family and the Hephaestus family to die in the dungeon, but also put the blame on the "crazy drunkard Soma family".

Dionysus's plan was divided into two stages.

Phase 1: Create the illusion that the Soma clan is out of control.

Dionysus ordered his followers to pour the wine containing the divine blood into the underground city, and then sent people to assassinate the fallen drunkards of the Soma clan, and then soaked the bodies in the diluted divine blood wine.

The divine blood is extremely tempting and can simulate the effect of "a person addicted to the divine wine of Soma going insane and dying."

Phase 2: Induce Loki's followers to investigate.

Using the intelligence from the second team of the Loki clan in Rivera Town, they dumped the "abnormal corpse" in Rivera Town, and then guided the Loki clan back to the surface to report to the Ganesha clan.

When Loki's followers were about to attack the floor master Goliath, they finally used the rotting corpse to release divine particles, triggering [Divine Will Induction].

The dungeon is extremely sensitive to "divine interference" and may mistakenly think that "the gods want to challenge the dungeon", leading to abnormal events such as the outburst of super-deep monsters or the premature awakening of the floor master.

Dionysus did not personally take action throughout the entire process, but instead created an alibi through public events such as the "Dionysus Festival".

Now... the plan has been successful.

The crisis of the second team of Loki's family is about to come.

"The time for the first carnival... has arrived."

The god of wine gave a sly smile.

………………

Dungeon 17th Floor——

The huge wall of sighs made a teeth-grinding cracking sound.

At first, there was only a tiny crack, winding like a snake on the frozen rock wall. Then the entire Wall of Sighs shook violently, and spider-web-like cracks instantly covered the frozen surface.

Seeing this, An Qi realized that something was wrong and said hurriedly:

"Wait, this isn't right!! Goliath's resurrection time is still... ten minutes away!!"

The next second—

"Click!"

Thousands of cracks instantly exploded! The entire wall crumbled as if struck by an invisible hammer. The flying debris strangely froze in mid-air, slowly rotating as it was enveloped by some black force field.

Then, the world fell into a brief silence——

A giant claw covered with an obsidian-like shell suddenly stretched out, and the moment the claw tip scratched the rock wall, dazzling metal sparks burst out.

Then, accompanied by a roar that shook the air, the huge monster fully revealed its figure.

Its mirror-smooth, pitch-black shell shone with a cold luster in the dim maze. The magic stone that should have been exposed was now encased in layers of crystals, forming a dazzling diamond-shaped core on its chest, like a blood-red star embedded in the darkness.

The most breathtaking thing is its size——

A terrifying height of nearly ten meters!

"No...that's not right! This...this isn't Goliath!"

"Completely unlike any Goliath we've ever seen!"

All the adventurers present who had faced the [Lonely Lord of the Labyrinth] were frozen in place.

An ordinary Goliath should have a rough, gray-brown skin and be about seven meters tall.

But this one in front of me...

Dark, cold, perfect.

It was as if the dungeon had carved a killing weapon out of pure malice.

"Black... Black Goliath..."

Unheard of...

A mutated individual that has never been recorded in the guild's archives.

Even Anqi and Liu, who were usually calm, showed a rare look of astonishment at this moment.

The dungeon is a living maze with "consciousness".

It will become "angry" at adventurers' excessive crusades or destructive behavior, and retaliate by generating powerful monsters or abnormal individuals.

But more importantly...

The dungeon is extremely sensitive to the presence of gods.

When a god steps into it, the dungeon will go berserk, spawning stronger monsters and even giving birth to killing weapons specifically targeting the gods.

Therefore, the guild strictly prohibits gods from entering the dungeon, and violators will be severely punished.

In the original work, due to Bell Crane's first experience of the [Maze Death Walk], the worried Hestia and Hermes entered the dungeon without permission and released the divine will, causing the dungeon to be enraged and send out the divine assassin "Black Goliath" with a strength close to Lv.5.

That is a monster specially created in the dungeon to kill gods, and it can restrain the power of gods!

But the problem is that now, no god has entered the dungeon!

So, how does the dungeon sense "God's will"?

There is only one answer.

Divine blood pollution!

Dionysus's blood wine, rich with divinity enough to intoxicate even the gods, was poured into the dungeon and absorbed by the monsters. The dungeon's "consciousness" mistakenly perceived it as...

There are gods interfering in the maze!

So, it got angry.

So, it created—

"Black Goliath".

As everyone was stunned, the resurrected Black Goliath yearned for freedom, raised his head, and a dazzling scarlet light suddenly lit up from the depths of his dark throat.

The next moment——

"Roar----!!!!"

The deafening roar turned into a materialized shock wave, the entire cave shook violently, and rubble fell from the dome like a rainstorm.

The nearest adventurers were even knocked over by the sound waves, with blood oozing from their ears.

"Don't be scared! It's just been resurrected and is still weak."

[Lady Cat] Angel gritted her teeth, her dark pupils igniting a fighting spirit in the dim cave. She reacted quickly, drew out the silver-white one-handed sword from her waist, stomped the ground with her boot heel, and rushed towards the giant shadow like an arrow.

Faster! Faster!

The white blade drew a crescent-shaped arc and went straight for the monster's knee joint, which was the weakness she had summarized after defeating several ordinary Goliaths.

however……

Almost at the same time, giant obsidian claws swept over at incredible speed.

"Varied--!?"

At the critical moment, Angel blocked with her sword. Amid the loud sound of metal clashing, the petite body of the cat girl was blown away more than 20 meters like a kite with a broken string, and stopped after hitting the rock wall.

"Angie!!"

Lefiya's scream cut through the air, and the faces of the second team of Loki's family turned pale.

Anna Kiti Otum, the core combat force of the second unit of the [Loki Familia], is a Lv.4 second-level adventurer, and will even be promoted to a Lv.5 first-level adventurer in the future in the 13th volume of the side story.

However, at this moment, the cat-girl was blown away like a puppet with its strings cut. Her petite body smashed into the rock wall and blood flowed from the corner of her mouth.

Anqi struggled to get up, but her arms were shaking with pain.

I had clearly...avoided a head-on impact...

Just one strike caused the team's strongest force to temporarily lose its combat capability.

"—The song of the distant forest at this moment, the song of life in the past. Please grant healing mercy to those who ask you for it."

——Noah's healing, single-target recovery magic,

Liu's figure flashed to Anqi's side like a gust of wind, and emerald green light wrapped around the wound like fireflies, but the healing speed was far less than the oppressive feeling brought by the Black Goliath.

Xingjian suddenly threw away his red cloak and stood in front of the two of them, his eyes fixed on the giant obsidian figure.

Hoshimi said solemnly, "Everyone, pay attention! This guy's potential ability... is Lv. 5! !"

"What a joke!" The adventurers from Loki's clan were horrified. "How is this possible? Goliath is clearly a Level 4 Floor Master!"

However, the reality is suffocatingly cruel.

The core in the Obsidian Giant's chest flickered at a high frequency, and not even the slightest scratch was left at the place where Angel slashed.

LV5 potential, but durability...

Maybe it has reached level 6!!

Despair spread like a tide.

The strongest adventurer in this team is only Lv.4.

"Wait for Miss Alicia's wizard team to arrive!!"

If the wizard troops led by Alicia launched a collective bombardment, perhaps the Black Goliath would be able to reveal a brief flaw and have a chance of victory.

But before Xingjian could finish his words, the Black Goliath's giant fist slammed into the dome.

Boom! !

The entire cave shook violently as countless huge rocks fell like meteorites, completely blocking the only exit to the 17th floor.

Amidst the rubble and dust, the figure of the obsidian giant slowly approached, the core of his chest beating like a heart, and the scarlet light reflected on every pale face.

----

Chapter 69 Raul, my Superman!

Alicia stood at the entrance to the passage on the 18th floor.

According to the battle plan, the second team led by Angel should have arrived at the room of Goliath, the master of the [Maze Lone King] floor.

However, just as she was about to lead her magician troops onto the 17th floor...

"Roar--!!"

A never-before-heard roar, which seemed to be able to tear apart the soul, erupted from deep within the earth, and then the entire passage began to tremble violently.

Goliath Resurrected?

but……

Isn't there still ten minutes before resurrection?

“No! Back off quickly—!!”

As soon as Alicia warned, the narrow cave passage collapsed like a biscuit crushed by a giant.

Amidst the choking smoke and dust, Alicia coughed violently and propped herself up.

In front of her, the entrance to the 17th floor had been completely blocked by tons of boulders, and not even a finger could fit through the tiniest gap.

"Lady Alicia! The passage seems to be blocked..."

The accompanying magician's trembling report was interrupted by a muffled sound coming from the other side of the rock wall. It was the vibration of some giant creature moving, mixed with the vague sound of metal clashing.

Thinking back carefully, that roar just now...wasn't the sound a normal Goliath could make!?

Then what are Anqi and the others fighting against?

"Immediately contact all adventurers in Rivera Town and quickly remove all the blocking boulders!"
