Dionysus could not believe that his painstakingly planned destruction of the city had been so swiftly and decisively thwarted.

He was originally very confident that, even with insufficient information, the Loki Familia would manage to infiltrate this man-made labyrinth and successfully activate the [Six Rings of Fairy Spirit], destroying the entire Orario.

Unexpectedly, the Loki Familia not only gathered information about the [Six Rings of the Fairy], but also organized a strategy to counter it before it was activated. It seemed that the two trump cards he held, Philvis and Revis, were also in trouble. This made him, who was originally full of confidence, feel as if he had been soaked in cold water, and his whole body began to feel cold.

He could sense that Philvis, who was part of his kin, had vanished, completely and utterly no longer in this world.

He didn't know how Rives was doing, but if even the stronger Philweis was like this, then that brainless red-haired weirdo probably wouldn't fare much better.

As for the Six Fairy Spirits... Dionysus had already given up hope on them.

Because the once ubiquitous singing has gradually disappeared, and the "altar" active on the 10th floor is also gradually losing its magic and is about to fall into deathly silence.

This only proves one thing.

His [Six Immortal Rings]... are being destroyed one by one.

Damn it!

Dionysus continued to curse.

"I never expected such a boring outcome. Damn Loki Familia, I should have wiped you all out first!"

Dionysus followed the secret passage and began to walk up to the upper floors.

"The plan has failed, and the desire to plunge the lower realm into utter chaos can only come to an end."

Dionysus, though thinking this, was filled with resentment and madness.

"Let's leave it at that this time, but next time..."

Next time, I will definitely succeed.

Having made this decision in his heart, Dionysus soon stopped in his tracks.

He froze, staring at the figure that had appeared before him without him noticing, feeling a chill run through his body.

"How about next time? You tell me!"

The goddess, with her squinting, divine eyes, asked with a smile.

His face was expressionless.

Chapter 421 Beginning and End

"boom!!!!!"

When such a deafening roar resounded, in the direction of Daedalus Road, in an area off the main road, a beam of light suddenly burst through the ground, soaring into the sky and illuminating the entire labyrinth city of Orario.

At that moment, whether it was the adventurers still fighting in the artificial labyrinth of Knossos or the people in the labyrinth city, they all suddenly raised their heads and looked in the direction of this enormous pillar of light that stretched to the sky.

No one is unaware of what this phenomenon represents.

After all, a similar scene had occurred not long ago on the same Daedalus Road.

The Repatriation Pillar is a phenomenon that only occurs when a celestial being returns to the heavens and leaves the mortal realm. Its appearance only means that another celestial being has been repatriated, just like last time, in Daedalus Road.

Undoubtedly, this will once again cause a huge uproar in the labyrinth city of Orario, plunging the people into complete unease.

But for the adventurers still battling in the man-made labyrinth of Knossos, it's a different story.

Especially for Leo, who had already dealt with Philvis, the strongest monster, he was emerging from that shattered underground space when he saw the repatriation beam appearing so close to him. He immediately knew who was being repatriated.

It was none other than Dionysus.

This despicable mad god has been sent back to Heaven by Loki.

Having understood this, Leo felt much more at ease.

With the final mastermind dealt with, they have essentially won the battle that determined the fate of the labyrinth city of Orario and the entire Nether.

The same is true.

After that, each of the celestial spirit clones was successfully defeated, forcing the [Six Celestial Spirit Rings] ultimate destructive spell, capable of destroying the entire city, to be interrupted and no longer able to be activated.

The adventurers who stormed the man-made labyrinth spent almost a whole day completing this feat, defeating all the fairy clones.

This is actually quite a difficult thing.

Because the power of the fairy clones is so great, each one has the combat power to sweep away the strongest faction in the city. Even the Loki Familia only managed to defeat one on the 59th floor after mobilizing all its main combat forces. Now, to defeat six in one go, you can imagine how difficult it is.

Even if all the major clans of the entire labyrinth city were mobilized to form an unprecedented conquest legion, with their combat power divided into six teams, each team would only have three or four first-level adventurers. Even with the support of a large force, it would be difficult to easily defeat those fairy clones.

In the original story, the victory in this battle was ultimately achieved with the help of Freya's Familia, which shows just how difficult it was to defeat these six celestial spirit clones.

This time, Freya's Familia will no longer offer assistance, so defeating the fairy clones will naturally involve many more twists and turns.

Fortunately, this battle introduced a combat power that was unmatched by anyone in the original work.

【Polarstar】—Leo Eriger.

This name is destined to be remembered by countless people in this battle.

Because, after defeating Philvis, Leo immediately activated his third spell – [Prayer of the Twelve Constellations].

This time, he summoned all the star beasts at once. The twelve star beasts moved out together and, under his command, went to the nearby location of the immortal spirit clone and launched an attack on it.

Instead of splitting his forces into six groups, he gathered all his strength and planned to defeat the immortal clones one by one. He himself did not move and stayed in place, using magical elixirs to quickly recover his severely depleted mental energy while controlling the twelve star beasts to attack the immortal clones.

The first of the twelve star beasts to arrive was the fourth unit where Tiona was located. It took only one minute to defeat the fairy clone, greatly slowing down the activation speed of the [Fairy Six Rings]. Then it arrived at the sixth unit where Tione was located, and also dealt with the fairy clone, causing two fairy clones to be lost.

At this moment, because of the full release of the third magic, even with the constant replenishment of mental energy using magical potions and the automatic recovery of "Mental Healing" at all times, Leo's mental energy was still almost exhausted, forcing him to call back the Star Beast in order to avoid falling into a state of mental exhaustion.

However, since two of the fairy clones have already been dealt with, the fourth unit where Tiona is located and the sixth unit where Tione is located are now fully capable of supporting the others.

So, Tiona led her team to the Fifth Division, which was the closest to her, to Bert's battlefield, while Tione headed to the First Division with a very clear objective, rushing to Finn's side.

However, the third fairy clone that was dealt with was no match for these two forces, but rather for the second force—the battlefield where Riveria was located.

This is because Ais has already successfully defeated Revis and taken down that red-haired monster, and she still has the strength to go to Riveria's side to support her.

The combination of [Wind Spirit Swiftness] and [Revenge Princess] is simply too powerful. Even the stronger Revis in the original work was almost defeated by Ais when she went berserk and out of control, let alone the weaker Revis now. On the contrary, Ais completely eliminated the possibility of going berserk and out of control because of [Wind Fairy Wish], and became even stronger.

This female swordswoman, who possesses the strongest offensive skills in the lower realm, also performed strongly on the battlefield where the fairy clones were located. With the firepower support of Riveria, the strongest mage in the city, and the assistance of the main force, it was only natural that she successfully defeated the third fairy clone.

Then came the battlefields of Finn's First Division and Bert's Fifth Division. Both sides, with an extra unit of combat power, managed to defeat their respective fairy clones without major incident.

Finally, all the combat forces gathered at the Third Division, where Grace was located, on the final battlefield, to take down the last fairy clone in one fell swoop.

At this point, all the celestial spirit clones were defeated, rendering the [Six Celestial Spirit Rings] completely ineffective.

The labyrinth city of Orario was finally saved.

Unfortunately, as one of the "heroes" said, this was destined to be a battle that would not be remembered.

To prevent the city and the lower realm from descending into chaos, only a very few individuals, apart from those who participated in the battle, learned the truth about the battle through their own channels.

The battle was not recorded in the guild's database; it was simply described as a "crackdown on an underground organization," a vague and indistinct statement.

Next, they will need to fabricate reasons to explain to the public the two instances of the deportation beams.

Of course, the fact that this battle was not recorded does not mean that it did not exist.

At least, most of the adventurers who went through this battle gained something, namely experience points from the fight to the death.

Some people have learned new magic or new skills as a result.

Some people have thus greatly improved their proficiency in various skills.

Naturally, some people have crossed the limits, created great achievements, and successfully achieved the greatest accomplishment—an upgrade.

Among them, several members of the Loki Familia, who were the greatest contributors, achieved this feat, and four of them caused a sensation in Orario.

These four people are—

[The Hero] - Finn Timner.

【Nine Demon Princesses】—Rivieria Leos Alfre.

【Chongjie】—Grace Landrock.

And... [Polaris] - Leo Erig.

The four individuals submitted their upgrade requests to the guild on the third day after the official conclusion of the man-made maze conquest battle.

Yes.

They have all reached the highest level in the world – "Lv.7".

…………

On this day, the entire Twilight Pavilion was filled with a noisy atmosphere.

Countless members celebrated joyfully, joining the main god who was running around excitedly and shouting loudly. The cheers and jubilation, regardless of gender, made the entire base camp incredibly lively.

Some hugged each other, some laughed heartily, and some even took out bottles of alcohol and clinked them together. They drank until their faces were red, but they didn't care at all. It was like a celebration. They made a ruckus and cheered wildly, and the noise could be heard outside.

There was no way around it; they were just too excited.

Lv.7, the current pinnacle of the world, the greatest achievement of modern adventurers, the highest level.

Prior to this, there was only one such being in the entire labyrinth city of Orario, and only two in the entire Nether, a pitifully small number.

However, on this day, not only did four Lv.7s, the pinnacle of the world, appear at once, but they all came from the same family. How could the Loki Familia not be excited?

Not only were the Loki Familia the beneficiaries, but the outside world was also completely shocked.

A single organization simultaneously possessing four Level 7 members... This is something only the Loki Familia has in the entire world.

Before this, Loki's Familia, though powerful, still faced skepticism wherever they went.

"In terms of individual combat strength alone, Freya's Familia is still a cut above."

"The fierce warriors led by [the Mighty One] are the strongest in the city."

"Compared to Freya's Familia, Loki's Familia is ultimately inferior."

Such sounds are almost everywhere.

Under such circumstances, the Loki Familia, who have always been placed in a weaker position, are naturally not in a good mood.

Therefore, although both have always been described as the two kings of the city, and are the strongest in the city, it is only natural that they will still have a fighting spirit.

At this moment, a revolutionary change occurred in the combat power between the two sides, making it impossible for the Loki Familia members not to cheer and celebrate loudly.

In light of this, it is no wonder that everyone is overjoyed that such great leaders, who possess both outstanding abilities and excellent character and always carefully guide everyone forward, have accomplished such a great feat.
