"But it doesn't matter, as long as the city is destroyed, it doesn't matter..."

As long as Orario disappears, Dionysus can continue to witness humanity's despair from the heavens. But when this god turns his head to look down at the mortal realm, his eyes suddenly widen...

"No, you can't do that!"

—

A few minutes ago, Istar, who arrived in the DanMachi world, used the power of time to accelerate the body of the fallen fairy Philvis…

One second is billions of years!

For the gods, this amount of time is insignificant, but the body of the fallen fairy could not withstand such a long time and died completely.

"Ah... that makes it all over, but..."

Looking at the burning ruins and hearing the cries of countless people, Ishtar pondered for a moment before smiling.

"This isn't Teyvat, and I'm not bound by the laws of nature..."

"Let's grant the wishes of these little cuties a little bit!"

Aside from the fallen immortals already slain by "time," the burning ruins gradually trembled until…

They flew back to their original positions!

The ruler of time can naturally turn back time, making everything appear as if it never happened. No wonder Dionysus of the heavens collapsed.

He gave everything, but in the end received nothing, and was even given a glance by Ishtar…

"I almost forgot about you, you twisted bastard..."

"You should be glad it was me who came. If Rheindorf and Jonawa had seen you, they certainly wouldn't have let you off so easily, would they?"

Kazemi & Barbara / Dungeon Encounters: Chapter 73 The Future That Can Never Be Reached

Istaru's authority is time.

Accelerate, slow down, stop, rewind—whatever time can do, Ishtar can do.

In Ishtar's view, the gods of this world are definitely stronger than the demon gods of the Genshin Impact world, and much stronger than the Seven Regents.

However, compared to the laws of nature, there is still a certain gap. Therefore, Ishtar, as one of the Four Shadows of Heaven, can easily suppress these gods. This was true for Ishtar in the past, and it is true for Dionysus now.

Time is no joke; it can truly kill gods!

Especially after learning that Dionysus was a twisted being, Ishtar immediately thought of the creatures of Teyvat that were twisted by the abyss.

Heaven fears the abyss, and the ruling class of life is even more so because of the abyss, leaving only a heart; otherwise, there would have been no Rhine-Dortmund replacing the ruling class of life.

All of this demonstrates the power of the Abyss; even the shadow of Heaven's Law, the four great rulers, cannot completely eradicate it.

But now, something that looks exactly like the Abyss has appeared before Ishtar, the ruler of time, and she has the ability to deal with it. What will she do?

Of course, we should silence this guy who's like the Abyss!

Although Istaru is a shadow of Tenri and is influenced by Tenri, she can also be considered an independent individual.

Therefore, He certainly won't let this guy named Dionysus go, and the little cuties are still watching Him from behind!

"Let me think, how can we completely solve the world's problems?"

Istaru seemed lost in thought, while simultaneously searching through the memories of Kaze and Barbara, looking for a way to deal with this situation.

"Ah... I found it."

"A golden experience... a requiem, isn't it?"

To deal with the Abyss, the ruling power of life has changed, so Ishtar naturally has no intention of showing any mercy.

But before making that god pay the price, let's grant Little Violet and Little Barbara's wishes first...

The phantom of the clock appeared on Ishtar, and then the second, minute, and hour hands all began to rotate counterclockwise.

Orario had been reduced to ruins just minutes before due to the Fallen Fairy's attack, with the number of lives lost counted in the tens of thousands.

After all, the massive destruction in an instant was like Pain descending upon Konoha Village, where a single Shinra Tensei wiped it out.

But the ruling power can do more than just Nagato's Samsara Rebirth Technique; it can even return every damaged brick and tile to its original position.

This isn't some kind of resurrection, but a more powerful "time reversal," and it can control the range and target, unlike some twin-tailed Ultraman who resurrects both enemies and allies.

"The city... has returned to normal? They're actually using the power of time in the lower realm?"

"The corpses have all stood up? No, they still have body temperature! They're not corpses anymore, they've been resurrected!"

Those who survived in Orario watched as the surrounding buildings receded into the distance, and the blood spilled on the ground gradually returned to the wounds of the injured, even relieving the pain in their own wounds.

This was a scene that was simply unimaginable to the creatures of the lower realms. It wasn't until the collapsed Tower of Babel returned to its upright position in the sky that people came to their senses.

Adventurers entered dungeons to fight, adventurers fought in the city, then the city was destroyed, and the residents were killed...

Those feelings were so real, yet they vanished like a dream.

In the end, no matter where you go in this city, it hasn't changed.

Even the number of mosquitoes was exactly the same!

So, what exactly happened today?

—

Compared to the bewildered residents, Istaru, the ruler of time, looked beyond the world after completing the tasks assigned by Kazemi and Barbara.

Even though He did not go to the heavens, He was still able to directly apply the power of time to Dionysus.

"They bullied my child, and this is the second time..."

"This time, I won't let you off so easily!"

A gentle smile appeared on her face. Ishtar slowly stretched out her right hand and lazily pointed to the sky. The torrent of time transformed into golden light, traversing the world and descending upon Dionysus.

"What is this? Time?"

Why is this happening?

Dionysus was incredulous. He was now the true embodiment of a god, possessing unparalleled power, yet he was still affected by this force of time…

However, observing the changes in time, sometimes accelerating and sometimes reversing, Dionysus realized that the other party's purpose did not seem to be to kill him. So what was it?

"It's to make you experience pain, fear, and despair."

A woman's voice suddenly appeared in Dionysus's mind, like the words of a witch; no one could predict what would happen next. But the only thing known was that the world was about to undergo a tremendous change!

"You seem to be able to find joy in the misfortunes of others, don't you?"

"And it's the most desperate kind!"

"So I came here, and the power of time will force you to experience all the tragedies and despair you have ever seen."

"You can't escape, you can't change it, you can only passively accept everything."

With just a few words, the fate of a celestial deity was sealed. Although the deity was not killed directly, Dionysus was made to never appear in the public eye again.

He could only endlessly cycle through a past of despair and helplessness, just like the tragedies he had witnessed, never able to step into the future.

"Little cutie, all the problems in this world have been solved, so I probably won't have anything to do with it anymore... I also want to thank you for letting me see the splendor of a different world!"

"Although I don't know how you came into this world, I sincerely wish you all the best for the future..."

"The wind carries the seeds of stories, and time turns them into myths."

"Go for it, hehe~"

As she was leaving, Ishtar unexpectedly stuck out her tongue on her expressionless face and even closed one eye, just like a certain wind god who did nothing but shirk his duties!

The gold color slowly faded from the girl's body until two figures, one pink and one gold, emerged from within, at which point the phantoms of the Ruler of Time and the Sky Titan truly vanished.

"Beep beep beep~"

Little Ika also popped out from behind the wind violet at this moment, letting out a cheerful chirp.

"Of course we won, little Ika!"

"However, it's time to leave..."

"We just need to complete a few last things, and then we can leave this world in peace!"

PS:

I'll post a notification later. I've been looking at the pinned comments for a long time, wondering what to choose in the next world.

Kazemi & Barbara / Dungeon Encounters: Chapter 74 The Final Upgrade

Since arriving in this world, Feng Jin and Barbara have only had a few proper rest periods. Otherwise, they spend most of their time fighting monsters. After all, the two missions they have to complete in this world are not just for show, and it is indeed difficult to finish them in a short period of time.

The situation only improved after Barbara was captured by Ishtar and had her enhancement card used. The frail healer was transformed into a gunslinger wielding a Sky AK, significantly increasing her speed in eliminating monsters.

Admittedly, the enhancement card took away the characters that Kaze and Barbara were playing, freeing them from worrying too much about role-playing, but that doesn't mean the two girls were willing to give it up.

On the contrary, these events directly fueled their competitive spirit, making them determined to reach level 5 and even save more than ten million people!

Now, what Feng Jin and Barbara need to do is carry out one last upgrade...

Before leaving Orario for the Great Forest of Andaris, the two girls had spent a long time exploring the dungeons and had reached level 3, a feat that is unprecedented and likely to remain so...

Keep in mind, how long have Violet and Barbara been in Orario?

It only took a little over a month!

In this world, the female protagonist, Ais, took nearly a year to level up to level 2. The male protagonist, Bell, however, reached level 2 in just one month.

But what about Violet and Barbara?

Within about a month, both girls had become level 3 beings, ranking among the top even in the entire labyrinth city.

But what happens after that?

After battling Andaris and the Fallen Fairy, and even having the Time Ruler Istaru descend upon them, it would be a bit unreasonable if they still couldn't level up.

After all, you can gain a lot of experience from fighting monsters, so what about fighting gods?

Although it was Ishtar who revealed the hand, the body used was still Kazemura and Barbara. Perhaps this deity secretly left them some little gift~

With these thoughts in mind, Feng Jin knocked on Loki's door.

"Come in."

Loki's voice came from inside the door, but compared to his usual playful tone, Loki now sounded more like a god.

The door opened, and Loki's wide eyes came into view, as if he could see through why Violet and Barbara had come.

"I knew you'd come looking for me after the battle, didn't I, Fengbao and Babao?"

“Loki…”

"Have you been possessed?"

The girls stared wide-eyed at the Loki before them, who looked nothing like him, their expressions filled with disbelief.

"What are you talking about... We're trying to be serious for once, and you guys are just being so disrespectful? Let me hug you right now!"

Loki, who had been quite serious, immediately lost his composure after hearing what the two girls said, and even reached out his hands to grab them.

As is customary, whenever Loki makes a move, Violet and Barbara will dodge at lightning speed or block him with a wind wall, causing Loki to fall flat on his face.

Now that Loki has already pounced on them, the girls show no intention of dodging or calling for a wind wall. Even after Loki has them in his arms, they still do not push him away.

"I see, I see..."

As the chief god of the familiars of Violet and Barbara, Loki sensed their current intentions simply through contact.

"So you've come to me now because you're planning to upgrade?"

It's no wonder that Feng Jin and Barbara had always prevented Loki from having any contact with her. After all, after the goddess embraced him once, she changed her address from "you all" to "you," clearly indicating that she had seen through the duality of their souls.

But Loki didn't expose this, and instead continued talking along with what the girls had said before.

“That’s right, Loki.”

"This is also the last time we'll ask you to upgrade... We probably won't have this opportunity again in the future."

"..."
