Chapter 499 The Titan God in the Mental Space
The fate of the black dragon is sealed!
The Time-Freeze Card sealed his movements, and Roy, with the combined power of everyone, returned the favor a hundredfold, empowered by the origin of the world, making the power of that slash unparalleled!
Click!
Overwhelmed by Roy's slashes, even a powerful black dragon could not withstand it. Its tough scales, bones, and flesh were torn apart until the dark purple magic stone inside its body was exposed, and the protective light shield shattered.
A crisp cracking sound rang out as the Black Dragon Magic Stone was slashed through and split in two. Spiderweb-like cracks covered both pieces of the magic stone, and through the crystal-clear surface of the stones, one could see nine misaligned gods.
"here it is?"
At that very moment, Roy seemed to see a surging tide of black mist rushing toward him.
Alphia, Ryu, Riveria, and the others who were coming towards him all disappeared, and his consciousness was forcibly pulled into a mysterious mental space.
When Roy came to his senses, he found himself standing on a dreamlike lake, where every movement caused ripples. The sky was shrouded in dark, ominous clouds.
"What's going on?"
"Now that we've woken up again, it means that stupid dragon has been killed. What a useless piece of trash!"
"Impossible! A dragon immune to divine power, with strength approaching that of a god, and possessing our authority—who could possibly defeat it? A child from the lower realms?"
The deafening sound echoed through the sky. It wasn't a roar, but rather a casual, conversational tone, yet it was enough to make one's eardrums vibrate and sting.
Roy frowned and scanned his surroundings.
Bang!
Suddenly, the calm lake surface, only a few hundred meters away from Roy, burst open without warning, and towering waves surged wildly into the sky.
Within the shadow of the towering water curtain, a terrifying silhouette, so large it was suffocating, was revealed.
Boom!
The heavy thud of wading through water sounded like muffled thunder!
A giant over 100 meters tall, with muscles bulging like steel mountains, exudes a savage divine might that can crush everything. Without a doubt, this is a god!
A hint of wariness flashed deep in Roy's eyes.
Bang!Bang!Bang!
Before Roy could react, like a chain reaction of depth charges, eight other bodies of water exploded with a deafening roar.
Eight enormous figures, equally overwhelming and radiating a terrifying aura, broke through the churning waves and rose from the abyss at the bottom of the lake, forming a tight encirclement around Roy, who was as insignificant as an ant.
Four men and five women, their bodies clad in different clothes, the nine giants locked onto Roy.
"They are!!"
Roy was also observing these giants, whose appearance was exactly the same as the ones he had seen inside the Black Dragon Magic Stone. They were the nine gods who had been devoured by the Black Dragon.
This is the shared spiritual space of the gods!
"Those hateful humans from the lower realms!"
"Why stand on the side of those hateful gods!"
"Kill him! Destroy his spirit!"
Apart from a few gods, all the other gods were staring intently at Roy, their scarlet eyes revealing a violent and cold killing intent.
In an instant, several gods simultaneously unleashed terrifying divine power, as if forming countless massive mountains that landed heavily on Roy's shoulders.
"Well!"
Roy's tall body suddenly sank, a strong sense of suffocation enveloped his entire body, his vision blurred, and his spiritual body was almost crushed by the vast divine power.
Confront the wrath of the gods!
Roy's spirit was constantly subjected to fierce attacks, and his will was on the verge of collapse. The god in front of him did not stop, but continued to increase the pressure.
They didn't even bother to take action. The gods present were absolutely confident that they could use their divine power to drive mortals to mental breakdown and turn them into vegetable states! After all, there was an insurmountable gap between them and ordinary people.
The premise is that this person is not Roy!
Roy's lips curled into a cold smile. Awakening that skill was not his wish, but since it was useful, he had to thank Dionysus.
laugh!
A dazzling golden light emanated from Roy's back, piercing through the eternal darkness like a sharp sword.
Skill "Godslayer" activated!
An indescribable torrent of scorching heat instantly swept over Roy's limbs and bones. Faced with this special power, the pressure exerted on Roy by the gods present seemed to have met its nemesis and vanished without a trace!
"What?!"
"This... is impossible!"
The gods present, who had transformed into giants, had their cold, murderous, and mocking gazes freeze instantly, and several incredulous and bewildered voices rang out.
The mortals, who should have been crushed to dust by divine power, did not kneel down. Instead, bathed in brilliant golden light, they slowly straightened their resolute spines.
What was even more terrifying was the aura emanating from Roy; they almost thought they were witnessing a black monster, a divine assassin, capable of subduing even the gods.
"Gods, don't be so arrogant!"
Roy grinned. His skill "Godslayer" was a special attack against gods, with extremely high resistance to divine power or divine might.
The passive effect it comes with will make the gods feel fear subconsciously. Without exception, the gods in front of us all showed a trace of confusion and fear in their eyes.
While the gods were stunned by Roy's unique abilities, an unexpected accident occurred.
puff!
The beautiful goddess standing to Roy's left, with pure golden light swirling around her fingertips, pointed at the unsuspecting god beside her in mid-air!
A death ray, as thin as a hair yet capable of piercing through everything, instantly pierced through the god's brow.
There was no earth-shattering explosion!
The astonishment on the god's face didn't even have time to turn into fear before his massive, mountain-like body was reduced to ashes by the annihilating golden light.
"Fober?!"
The giants present looked astonished, their incomprehensible gazes shifting from Roy to the goddess.
puff!puff!puff!
In the blink of an eye, the goddess named "Fober" showed no mercy. With a flick of her jade finger, the golden beam that had once pierced Roy's heart shot out, sweeping across the void and killing three gods in succession, cold and ruthless.
In the blink of an eye, four deities disappeared from the lake.
Even the most foolish of the remaining gods realized what was happening, glared at Phoebe, and prepared to use their powers.
However, this "rebellion" was not limited to Forbes.
The goddess to Roy's right is dressed in a tight white robe, her eyes are covered with a white cloth, she holds a scale symbolizing fairness in her left hand and a sword representing punishment in her right hand.
The goddess swung her longsword, which transformed into a mark of judgment that tore apart the body of a god!
As the sword flashed, the handsome man beside her was cleanly and swiftly cleaved in two. The entire process was fast, ruthless, and decisive, without the slightest hesitation!
"Phoebe, Themis, why?!"
The goddess Tethys witnessed the horrific scene of gods killing each other and four people being slaughtered in an instant. Overwhelmed with shock and rage, she let out an incredulous roar.
Roy, poised to strike, unleashed a burst of cold light from his eyes. His hand transformed into a blade, slashing forward and unleashing a crimson beam that tore through space, engulfing Tethys.
boom!
Under the effect of the "Godslayer" skill, the crimson slash ignored defense and tore through Tethys's power shield without any hindrance, hitting the latter's spiritual body.
With a short, desperate wail, the goddess's body exploded and shattered into countless scattered points of light.
On the other side, Phoebe and Themis joined forces to deal with the last restless male god.
At this point, the seven gods vanished as starlight, leaving only Roy and the two goddesses on the lake.
Roy looked at the two remaining goddesses.
The tense atmosphere eased slightly.
Phoebe and Themis were among the few of the nine gods who did not show hostility towards him, but Roy did not expect the other party to be so decisive. The god was ruthless and did not say much, and he destroyed the other seven gods on the spot.
"Sorry, I scared you."
With a smile, Fauber said, "We're just remnants of a phantom; we'll disappear soon enough if we do nothing. But we can't have a proper conversation without getting those troublesome guys out of the picture."
Roy asked, "Who are you?"
Phoebe winked playfully: "I am Phoebe, the goddess of 'Radiance and Prophecy'!"
"The power to wield radiance—" Roy recalled unpleasant memories; the black dragon's invincible light of death most likely originated from this goddess.
"This is Themis, the goddess of law and justice," Fobbe introduced to Roy.
"Hello!"
Roy looked at Themis and greeted her. Just as there are Freya, Ishtar, and Aphrodite, the goddess of "justice" is not only Astrea, but also other gods.
Only certain special powers are unique, such as the sacred fire of Hestia.
Unlike her gentle and virtuous Astraea, Themis, as the goddess of justice, holds scales and a longsword, her expression serious, more like a ruthless enforcer who will annihilate all evil in the world!
In the dazzling light, Phoebe and Themis shrank to the same size as Roy.
Within the spiritual space, they can freely change their appearance, clearly not wanting their divine forms to offend Roy and desiring to engage in dialogue on equal terms.
These details allowed Roy to sense the other person's goodwill, slightly reducing his wariness.
"You guys are really amazing to have been able to slay that dragon."
Phoebe sized up Roy and chuckled, "Theoretically, that black dragon is a monster that even the gods are helpless against, and that mortals in the lower realm could never defeat!"
"Because we have many reliable and powerful adventurers," Roy replied cautiously.
"It's not just that."
Fober gave Roy a deep look. Without this young man, even if the strength of the Orario Alliance to fight the Black Dragon were doubled, it would be meaningless.
Sensing Roy's wariness, Forbes cut to the chase. "We don't have much time left. Hero who slew that dragon, what do you plan to do next?"
Roy frowned. "What do we do next—"
Phoebe and Themis watched Roy silently.
Roy didn't think for long, because the answer was clear: with the successful defeat of the Black Dragon, the threat on the surface and the doomsday crisis that had plagued the world for thousands of years would be eliminated, and their only target would be the underground labyrinth!
Roy's voice was firm: "Conquer the dungeon!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the goddess Phoebe in front of him still looked cheerful, but Roy felt Themis cast a cold glance at him.
"really!"
Fauber showed an expression of astonishment.
Roy continued, "The black dragon came from the underground city. We must know the truth about that labyrinth to ensure that no second black dragon will harm the world—or, goddesses Phoebe and Themis, can you tell me the truth about the underground city?"
Upon hearing this, Fu Bai looked at Roy, a faint smile appearing on his lips. He actually wanted to get information out of her; the child from the lower realm was truly audacious.
Fauber shook his head. "No, we can't say either!"
Roy said in a deep voice, "Then we must conquer the dungeon; this is the wish of everyone in the lower realm!"
Fuber pursed his lips: "Doing this will be very difficult. You will encounter unprecedented difficulties, and it's even okay if someone sacrifices themselves because of it?"
Roy's eyes burned with unwavering determination and uncertainty. "Even so, we must take the risk!"
—
Seemingly understanding Roy's thoughts and will, Themis's gaze softened.
Themis's concept of "justice" includes fairness and impartiality. Since countless monsters have been born in the dungeons and endanger the world, it is only natural for Roy to lead the adventurers to conquer the dungeons.
"I see, I understand now."
Facing Roy's resolute and unwavering gaze, Phoebe seemed to understand why those foolish gods on the surface were so enthusiastic about this kind of nurturing game, and why miracles would occur in the lower realm that even the gods could not predict!
Fuber smiled and said, "This belief deeply moved me, so I'll lend you a hand!"
Roy was startled.
Phoebe held up three fingers. "Having successfully defeated the Black Dragon, there probably aren't many monsters in the dungeon that can stop you. But don't let your guard down. You still have three powerful enemies. Continue deeper into that labyrinth; encountering them is only a matter of time!"
Roy pressed, "Which floor are they on?"
Phoebe and Themis did not answer Roy's question. Instead, they looked at the boy meaningfully, their eyes filled with surprise and curiosity.
Upon receiving such information, the first reaction would normally be to inquire about the identities and abilities of the three enemies, but Roy showed no interest in that.
Clearly, he already knows!
"That's enough, or they'll start complaining." Forbes smiled.
Roy's spiritual body began to dissipate.
No, it's the entire spiritual world that's collapsing. As Fauber said, they won't last long before they're devoured by the black dragon and die along with it.
"May Clotho, Lachesis, and Atropos, the rulers of 'Fate,' protect you!"
Roy's spiritual body transformed into specks of starlight and dissipated completely, leaving the spiritual space, surrounded by the gentle and beautiful blessings of the goddess Phoebe.
Themis, "You seem to care about him a lot?"
Fober nodded. "Yes, I have a feeling I recognize that child, but I can't quite place him."
"The power of prophecy?"
Themis frowned. "Could it affect your powers? Is this some kind of trick by Cronus?"
"Who knows? Maybe we'll meet him again in the not-too-distant future!" Fuber laughed.
Themis smirked. They were truly dead, and resurrection would take at least ten thousand years. Human lifespan is limited, so how could they possibly have a chance to meet again?
In this desolate space, the last two goddesses slowly closed their eyes and vanished as starlight.
