Chapter 394 The use of the divine spear Gungnir shocks the world, Freya is terrified and cries.
What's wrong with me?
"Right, it's the power of Thanatos!"
"Damn it, where's that bastard? I'll teach him a lesson he won't forget!"
Defeated by Hestia's sacred fire, the power of death was completely dissipated, and countless souls that had been forcibly bound and dragged into the frigid abyss were liberated.
The gods, adventurers, and people regained consciousness, remembered what had happened, and were instantly enraged.
They all criticized Sanatoz.
However, this miracle of survival did not put people at ease; instead, it brought even more terrible chaos and panic, as they saw arrows.
Above the heavens, Artemis's figure appeared and disappeared, as countless brilliant stars moved and converged to form her bow and arrows. She drew her bow and aimed at the mortal realm below, making everyone feel a deadly danger.
At this moment, countless beings felt the same way.
Whether they are the world's top adventurers, the nobles of the kingdom's metropolis, or the farmers in the countryside, they are all clearly aware of the dangers involved.
Not to mention the gods who fled to the lower realms.
"Artemis's Arrow!"
"My God, Ragnarok has finally arrived?"
"No! I don't want to die!"
Panic-stricken voices rang out continuously.
The Grim Reaper's scythe came too fast before, and the people didn't even have time to react. After their souls were stolen, their consciousness was blurred, and their situation was nothing like it is now.
The Moon Goddess's arrows are now a Damocles' sword hanging over everyone's head!
The gods knew that this strike was enough to destroy the world!
Not only Orario, but also distant countries, metropolises, elven forests, and dwarven villages—in an instant, a trend of losing control and going berserk emerged.
"Isn't that the power of your gods? Find a way to solve it! Are you all fake?"
"Yes, this is the responsibility of your gods!"
"My God, please save us!"
Fear, chaos, questioning, pleading—all these voices converged into a deafening tsunami, assaulting everyone's eardrums and nerves.
The fear of death ignites hysterical screams and cries, blaming or pleading with the gods.
Negative emotions have permeated almost the entire world.
The gods were helpless; they simply didn't have the power!
Their agreement was a system of mutual surveillance. If a deity used its divine power and emitted a specific wavelength, and it was captured by any other deity, the other deity would automatically send it back to the heavens. This was mandatory.
Freya dared to use it because she had bewitched all the nearby gods, and no one noticed at all.
If any other deity dares to use it, it will be returned in the next second!
Moreover, Artemis, as one of the "three virgin goddesses," holds a very high position, and not just any god could stop the arrows from the sky.
Guild headquarters, underground prayer room.
Hermes said, "Uranus, this is an emergency! Please allow me to use my divine powers!"
Uranus nodded. "Yes!"
With the power of Uranus, Hermes will not be returned, but he will only be able to use abilities such as the Mirror of God, and will not be able to stop the arrows from the sky.
As Hermes unleashed his divine power, Orario, the Kingdom of Lachia, the Free City, and the Eastern Island Nation—
Divine mirrors have appeared all over the world.
The unrest subsided slightly.
"Ahem! Everyone, don't panic!"
To calm everyone down, Hermes reconstructed the events based on his own speculation and then urged everyone to calm down.
In short, don't panic, because panicking won't help! You're still going to die!
Hermes succeeded!
Upon hearing this, the crowd's emotions shifted from anger and panic to despair and helplessness. Listening to Hermes's description, they all felt an urge to commit suicide immediately.
The situation was far beyond everyone's expectations!
The Scorpion of the Secret Realm that Devoured Two Gods!
Arrows of destruction from the heavens, scythes of death that reap souls—who can stop this calamity?
What could be worse than a cataclysmic disaster? The answer is two cataclysmic disasters!
At this point, Hermes changed the subject.
"Gentlemen, this disaster caused by the dark faction is indeed terrible, but please have faith in us, have faith in the adventurers of Orario, they will succeed!"
Hermes used very clever rhetoric.
First, the situation was exaggerated to the extreme, and then people were told that there was still hope. This kind of "God closed the door and opened the window" explanation is very effective in controlling people's panic and tension.
People grasped at the last straw, and would not give up as long as there was a glimmer of hope.
However, Hermes was simply stating the truth without any exaggeration, which is truly frustrating.
The situation is so serious that it doesn't need to be exaggerated!
The Hall of Twilight.
With their souls returning, Finn, Riveria, Grace, Loki, and the others regained consciousness and gathered in the hall, gazing at the divine mirror in mid-air.
Hermes summoned several divine mirrors, which displayed scenes from around the world, arrows in the sky, and Valetta captured by Bell and his companions.
"Valetta, it really is you." Finn licked his thumb. He had already guessed that it was the Dark Faction, but unfortunately, he hadn't left behind complete information.
Grace asked in a low voice, "What will it become?"
Loki laughed carefree, "Who knows? If the sky falls, the tall ones will hold it up!"
"Aren't we 'tall'?" Riveria glanced at Loki. Her own family was one of the strongest familiars in the world. If they didn't stand up, who would?
Hermes explained the cause and effect to everyone, and the revealed mirror gradually merged together, presenting a scene that attracted everyone's attention.
It was Roy and his companions inside the man-made maze.
"Aistan?!"
Loki saw Ais's reflection in the mirror, jumped up, and let out a sharp, explosive sound.
Finn, Riveria, Grace, and the others' expressions changed drastically. Their little princess should be training in the dungeon. Who was she fighting?
The people around Ais are also quite remarkable.
The lineup is so luxurious it's jaw-dropping.
"The Madman" Roy, "The Fierce One" Ota, "The Great Severer" Tiona, "The Dream Healer" Cassandra!
There are even two goddesses.
Astraea and Freya!
Battlefield.
The Freya Familia reacted most strongly when they saw the scenery inside the man-made labyrinth, because there lay their beloved goddess Freya.
"Goddess-sama?"
"And that idiot Otto?"
"What's with that monster?"
"You idiot, if you dare let the goddess get even a scratch, I'll take your pig's life!!"
The Freya Familia members rushed out like madmen. Even though they knew nothing about the man-made labyrinth, they were determined to find their goddess, even if it meant turning the entire Orario, no! the whole world upside down!
And people all over the world.
Completely stunned by the information Hermes had given, everyone stared intently at the Mirror of God.
"Grandpa, it's Brother Roy!"
In a small village in the Kingdom of Lachia, the villagers also gazed at the divine mirror above. Their eyes revealed emotions that were more complex and shocking than those of the others. Among them, a pretty and lovely girl pointed her pale white finger at the handsome young man in the divine mirror.
"Hmm, that kid has really made something of himself!" The old village chief's cloudy eyes shone brightly, and an indescribable sense of pride appeared on his face.
The villagers nearby couldn't suppress their smiles.
Upon hearing this, the merchants and residents who had come to enjoy the preferential policies felt a chill run down their spines. That was "The Berserker," one of Orario's top adventurers, whose fame resounded throughout the world, and this was his hometown!
In addition to these people, there were two outsiders.
It was Ellen and Helen, acting on Freya's orders, who came to investigate Roy's past.
Suddenly, this kind of thing happened.
"What are you doing, you stupid pig, useless elf, and insect-like little human?!" Allen was both anxious and angry when he saw Freya in the Divine Mirror. He berated all the members of the Familia. He had only been away from Orario for a few days, and those useless people had already put the goddess in danger!
Helen was also staring at the scene in the mirror.
Although she was also worried about that beloved goddess, her feelings were completely different from Allen's.
The reason lies in her magic, "transformation into a god".
She can transform into "Freya," perfectly replicating the other person's appearance, divine power, and even alluring abilities, except for lacking true divine power. She can also share the five senses with Freya herself and unilaterally feel Freya's deepest and most sincere emotions.
How so?
In the period leading up to the appearance of the divine mirror, the emotions of their goddess underwent quite a series of changes.
Helen was certain that in all the years she had followed him, she had never felt such intense emotions; something must have happened to her goddess.
The capital of the Kingdom of Lachia.
Ares, Prince Marius, the many knights, and the ministers stopped what they were doing. The world was about to be destroyed, and there was no point in doing anything more. Everyone stared at the divine mirror that had appeared in mid-air.
"I knew Orario was a troublemaker, and we had to take it over! Quickly assemble the army; I, the god, will personally lead the expedition! Hahahaha!"
"Stop that foolish god!"
"Insolence, Marius! I am the chief god of this country, and you all must obey me!"
"Aaaaaaah!"
In the north, at Dragon Valley.
Alphia clicked her tongue in amazement. "Playing this big?" she thought. She seemed to have underestimated the situation.
Ryu, Tione, and the others, who were rushing back to Orario, looked at the Divine Mirror with burning anxiety. They quickened their pace, their figures moving with lightning speed, hoping to catch up.
Similar scenes unfolded around the world. Thousands of miles apart, in Orario, the battle within that man-made labyrinth determined the fate of the world.
"You scared me to death!"
"Is that what it feels like to have your soul ripped out?"
-
The artificial labyrinth is not a true underground city; Hestia's power also affects this place, including Otto.
A radiant, warm glow emanated from Ais, Tiona, and everyone else, as their souls returned to their origins.
The feeling was incredibly terrifying, and even the world's top adventurers would find it hard to bear.
I'm still shaken and never want to go through that again!
Freya's face darkened. When had she ever suffered such a humiliation? If it were Thanatos, she could have charmed him with just a glance.
Unfortunately, Thanatos was devoured, and the one who now wields the power of death is a black monster—the Assassin of God, whose power is so great that even the allure of beauty cannot defeat him.
The restraint involved was absolutely terrible!
"Ota, kill it!" Freya's violet eyes were icy cold.
"roar!"
Ota responded to the call, letting out a thunderous battle roar. His iron-like fists transformed into a storm of blows, each strike landing squarely on Scorpion Andaris's body.
Boom!Boom!Boom!
The dull thuds of the collisions continued to explode.
Scorpion Andaris's massive body was blasted backward, its hard, iron-like carapace rapidly denting and shattering, revealing writhing, purplish-black muscles.
Tiona's petite figure leaped into the air like a nimble cheetah, unleashing a kick brimming with superhuman strength, accompanied by a piercing whistle that tore through the air, which landed heavily on Andaris's ferocious head.
boom!
Tiona's terrifying force penetrated the opponent's entire body, sending the behemoth flying. It slammed into the wall, creating spiderweb-like cracks.
At the same time, Ais caught the spare rapier thrown by Roy, activated her magic again, and was enveloped in a whirlwind as her tall and slender figure swept past at lightning speed.
"Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle!"
With a series of sounds, countless wounds appeared on the surface of Scorpion Andaris's body, and his venomous tail was also cut into several broken pieces, with purplish-black venom gushing out from the broken pieces like a fountain.
The most crucial factor in achieving this result actually lies with Roy and Hestia.
Hestia has broken the power of death.
Having lost his soul, Scorpio Andaris can no longer use other people's magic, greatly reducing his combat power.
More importantly, its spirit has been broken!
Scorpio Andaris looked at Roy with terror in his eyes. What monster would dare to fight his "own father" (the dungeon)?
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Under the relentless bombardment of Ota, Tiona, and Ais, Scorpio Andaris's wounds multiplied.
The desperate situation triggered its most primal survival instinct.
Swish!
Andaris's body erupted with an unprecedentedly dazzling silver light, and a sacred aura swept across the battlefield.
Countless energy arrows appeared out of thin air, all formed from Artemis's divine power.
Like a cold crescent moon suspended in the void.
Each one flowed with a terrifying, cold light, radiating a deadly chill that froze time and space!
These arrows, densely packed, hovered around Andaris, forming a seamless, death-inducing array of Luna's arrows!
Its terrifying power made even the mighty Ota, Tiona, and Ais feel their scalps tingle, halting their charge and preventing them from getting any closer.
Just as the arrows imbued with the power of the moon goddess were about to be released, Roy moved.
Transfer to a higher position!
Ripples spread through the space, and Roy appeared on the flank of Scorpio Andaris, his eyes sharp as an eagle's.
Now that he knew Artemis's divine body was not inside this Andaris, he had no more scruples!
Burning Heaven + Lingering Light + Overlord Strike + Giant Slayer!
With his agility maxed out, he moved with incredible speed. With a slight thought, Roy's Holy Sword trembled slightly, and its long blade was suddenly covered with a dazzling halo, transforming into a dazzling flame-colored halo.
Wherever the sharp sword passed, heat waves spread, and ripples appeared in the air.
The telekinetic strikes precisely pierced through each energy arrow, landing on Scorpio Andaris.
Scorpion, already severely injured by Ota, Ais, and Tiona, could only watch helplessly as its hard carapace, bulging muscles, and ferocious limbs and tentacles were efficiently severed by the slashes.
In just a few breaths.
This mountain-like nightmare beast was dismembered with the swiftness and efficiency of a master butcher.
The hideous carapace and flesh were scattered all over the ground.
The only intact spot was on its chest—the eerie crystal that imprisoned Thanatos, the god of death, hovering alone above the ruins of flesh and blood. It was its energy source and the so-called magic stone!
Driven by a powerful life force, the flesh and blood tissue attached to the surface of the crystal slowly wriggled and grew. If left unattended, the scorpion Andaris would be reborn in just a few hours.
"Disgusting." Tiona looked disgusted.
Ais and Ota also stopped what they were doing. Smashing the magic stone was tantamount to killing a god, something they couldn't do unless they wanted to die.
"Astraea!" Roy flicked his wrist, handing his goddess a short dagger with an ancient shape, as if it were roughly polished from raw obsidian.
This unassuming dagger was Roy's prize from his journey to the north: Dragon Fang. It possesses extremely powerful armor-piercing capabilities and has no usage restrictions.
"Um!"
Astraea gripped the dagger tightly and, without the slightest hesitation, plunged it fiercely into the ominous crystal core.
With a crisp, light sound, the crystal-clear surface shattered!
The divine body imprisoned inside the crystal dissipated rapidly, like smoke and dust blown away by the wind.
As she gazed at the crumbling crystal and the vanishing phantom of Death, Astraea spoke calmly, softly, "Goodbye, Thanatos."
It wasn't a return to the heavens; the god devoured by the black monster was long dead and didn't deserve that.
The next time we see this Grim Reaper may be ten thousand years from now, when he will be resurrected.
This is a complete eradication!
As the scorpion Andaris was killed, all the scorpion larvae in the vicinity were reduced to ashes, and the artificial maze fell into silence. Astraea's taut will suddenly snapped, like a bowstring stretched to its limit. Her delicate body swayed slightly and she fell softly backward.
Before Roy arrived, they had already been navigating the artificial maze for dozens of hours. For Astraea, who has the physique of an ordinary person, to have lasted this long is quite remarkable.
A pair of warm and strong arms caught her. Roy gently pulled his goddess into his embrace.
Nestled in her comforting embrace, Astraea struggled to lift her eyes, a relieved and trusting smile appearing on her tired, pale face. Her voice was as soft as a whisper, "Go, and finish it off!"
Having slain Andaris, the scorpion who usurped the power and divine strength of Thanatos, their mission was complete; the rest was left to Roy.
"Um!"
"Oooooo!"
Through the divine mirror, Roy and his companions witnessed Roy and his companions successfully killing Scorpion Andaris. After a brief silence, like a long-suppressed volcano erupting, deafening cheers erupted all over the world.
From the bustling city of Orario to the nearby port town, and then to distant countries and metropolises—countless people excitedly embraced, jumped, and wept, shouting thunderous cheers with all their might!
The nightmare incarnation that devoured gods and brought endless fear and disaster was finally defeated by the adventurers.
But the joy of the crowd did not last long.
They soon discovered a major problem: while the Scorpion Andaris in the labyrinth had indeed been defeated, the arrows from the sky in mid-air had not dissipated!
The phantom of Artemis in the depths of the sky drew its bowstring ever higher, sending chills down one's spine.
"What's going on?"
"Wasn't that monster already defeated?"
A deathly silence quickly spread, enveloping everyone. They looked at each other, their faces filled with incomprehensible shock and profound bewilderment.
The sense of crisis, like a fishbone stuck in my throat, has not disappeared!
Only the many gods probably knew the reason. They lowered their heads until the scrutinizing light of the people looked at them. The gods smiled awkwardly and revealed the truth.
"It's pointless to defeat that monster."
"It's not entirely true that there's none; at least the threat from Thanatos has been eliminated. But if we're not mistaken, there's another monster with power!"
The scorpion Andaris was originally a level 6 monster at most, but it was enhanced by divine power that leveled it up to LV.
7, that's its upper limit.
The power of death can turn Orario into a dead city.
At that time, it could easily devour more gods and gain endless divine power and authority.
Is it that it doesn't want to?
It's impossible! The power of the gods is too great; if another one were to appear, it would overwhelm them.
Even if there were only Thanatos and Artemis, it would still split into different individual entities to carry them.
Artemis's divine body, residing within the body of another scorpion named Andaris, was used to subdue the one within the man-made labyrinth, thus eliminating half of the threat.
As the gods uttered their last word, the whole world seemed to be muted.
Everyone held their breath, as if standing on the edge of an abyss. The remaining doubt and shock on their faces were instantly replaced by a deathly paleness, their faces ashen.
It can be seen from the divine mirror.
The guild has become aware of this matter and has urgently assigned tasks, mobilizing the entire Orario Familia to search for the location of the second scorpion, Andaris.
But it's almost impossible.
They travel from the Great Forest to Orario, a distance of tens of thousands of kilometers. Who knows where that monster is hiding?
call out!
Spatial fluctuations appeared, and Roy appeared atop the Tower of Babel, with a fierce wind whipping around him.
"Wow, this is the highest point in Orario! Roy, let me out, I want to see it!"
Roy heard Artemis's voice in his ear. It was amazing that she could communicate with him even through the spatial ring. He took out the Spear of the Moon.
Artemis's spiritual entity resides in the Spear of the Moon, standing atop the Tower of Babel, overlooking all the mountains below, and can see the entire Orario region, and even the distant horizon.
Spectacular! Vast! Refreshing!
"What a beautiful view!" Artemis exclaimed, this was probably the last time she would see it.
Here, there happened to be two other people, Hestia and Asphie, who had come to the city center in order to remove the power of death that was enveloping the entire city.
Upon seeing Roy suddenly appear, Asphie's delicate lips curled into a smile as she cast a spatial spell!
"Roy!"
The simple-minded Hestia first let out a cry of surprise, then pounced on Roy, clinging to him like a koala, utterly panicked, "Roy, Wh-what do we do? No one can stop Artemis's arrows, the world is going to end!"
Roy said, "It's okay, I can kill it!"
Roy's words instantly drew the world's attention to him.
Through the divine mirror, everyone's gaze, filled with a final hope and an indescribable tension, focused on the young man atop the Tower of Babel.
The images of Astraea, Ais, Fels, and Freya, who were located in the man-made labyrinth, were presented to them by Hermes's mirror.
Astraea, Tiona, and Cassandra trusted Roy unconditionally.
Ais, Fels, and Freya looked puzzled. Even at this point, he still had tricks up his sleeve?
Hearing Roy's answer, Hestia had no doubts and her eyes lit up. "Roy, you must know the location of that monster!"
"I don't know, but I can kill it!" Roy pulled Hestia off him. At that moment, Hestia saw the Spear of the Moon in Roy's hand and murmured, "This spear is—Artemis's artifact!"
Artemis's artifact!
Upon hearing this, people all over the world looked up sharply, their hearts filled with new hope.
Perhaps we can use Artemis's artifacts to locate the monster and defeat it!
Roy looked at Hestia with a strange expression. "That monster devoured Artemis. If you kill it, Artemis will die too."
Hestia's expression stiffened.
Roy asked, "Hestia, what do we do?"
Hestia was startled. Her best friend or the world? If it were her, what would she choose?
If we don't kill them, when the arrow from the sky falls, the whole world will be reduced to ashes, and everyone will die!
The more I think about this problem, the more of a headache it gives me!
"I don't know, I really don't know!" Tears welled up in Hestia's eyes. The joy of breaking through the power of death and saving the city vanished in an instant.
Hestia's hesitation and pain were reflected in the mirror, but the others did not feel any psychological burden.
"Kill her! Kill her!"
"Berserker, kill her!!"
"Kill her now!"
At first, everyone only called out in their hearts, and no one dared to openly utter the words "god-killing." But as time passed, the light in the sky became more and more dazzling, and the sense of crisis became stronger. People no longer hid their inner thoughts and shouted loudly at the divine mirror.
They just wanted to survive, what's wrong with that?!
The people of Orario are no exception.
Gods, adventurers, the people, and everyone else looked up at the Tower of Babel. The streets and alleys were filled with the clamor of voices, all placing their hopes on Roy, wanting to use their voices to drive this "madman" to action.
hum!hum!hum!
Hearing the deafening shouts, Roy's Luna Spear trembled slightly.
Everyone wanted her dead!
Two streams of tears slid down Artemis's delicate and beautiful face. As a goddess, she had to answer the children's plea, "Roy, kill me!"
Guild headquarters, underground prayer room.
Uranus remained calm. "Survival and reproduction are the two most important instincts of living beings. The key to the operation of the world lies with us gods. It would be against the laws of nature if we did not have these needs."
Hermes looked distressed. He hadn't expected things to turn out this way. His eyes were fixed on the boy in the mirror. "Roy, what are you going to do?"
A man-made maze.
Astraea didn't know how to tell Roy to resolve the crisis, but listening to the deafening cheers of the crowd, a hint of worry flashed in her beautiful eyes. It was hard to imagine the immense psychological pressure Roy was under at this moment, standing atop the Tower of Babel.
God-killing or world destruction, choose one.
"Commander!"
Tiona and Cassandra clenched their fists, their eyes tense and worried, but not afraid.
"What an ugly sight," Freya said disdainfully, watching the cries of the people from the lower realms. They would stop at nothing to survive.
Then, her eyes were fixed on Roy in the mirror, the boy who had been entangled with her countless times since his debut. What would he choose?
"I won't kill you!"
Roy's reply to Artemis was just this short sentence.
Artemis' pupils trembled.
Upon hearing Roy's words, the people's voices became louder and sharper, bordering on roaring.
The shouts of the crowd seemed to transform into countless silver needles, piercing her ears. Artemis's voice choked with sobs, "There's no time left, Roy, kill me, please, this is the last chance!"
Hestia, standing nearby, was bewildered and in pain.
Asphie's eyes dimmed, and the roar below revealed her thoughts.
"call!"
Roy ignored the surrounding noises and adjusted himself to his best state. The sense of crisis brought by the arrow from the sky filled every corner of his heart.
Solve the catastrophe of annihilation!
It's an incredible adventure; if he fails, he'll lose everything!
Roy has never lacked courage in this regard. A crazy and confident smirk appeared on his handsome lips as he activated his "Adventure" ability!
Roy's stats were rising at a visible rate, showing no signs of stopping.
LV.7 All S! All SS! All SSS!
All the advanced adventurers stared at Roy in the divine mirror and felt a strange, terrifying dread. Even though they weren't there, they could sense that the boy's aura had undergone a dramatic change.
"What is that?"
Freya frowned slightly, her divine eye, capable of seeing through souls, fixed on Roy, whose chaotic and lightless soul actually trembled.
"Impossible!" Freya seemed to realize something, her pupils widening. What she saw was not Roy's true soul color, but some kind of power covering it, disguising Roy.
Until now!
The fully activated "Adventure" ability caused a ripple effect, like waves on the surface of water, finally making Freya realize the truth: she had been deceived all along.
Looking at the wild smile on Roy's face, Freya's heart was pounding. What was the true color of his soul?
Roy is feeling a powerful force within him.
After several upgrades, accumulating power points that pushed him to his limits, and with the added boost from the adventures brought by the apocalyptic crisis, his power level is now LV.8!
Even a level 7 Ota can reach level 8 through the enhancement of abilities, skills, and beast transformation.
There's no reason why Roy couldn't do it!
However, even at LV.8, he was still an ant facing the impending arrow from the sky.
Of course, Roy didn't intend to stop the disaster with his LV.8 ability; it was the usage level of a certain item that required him to reach that level.
Roy planted the Spear of Luna in the ground.
Seeing this scene in the mirror, people all over the world thought he had given up killing gods. Their hearts sank, and feelings of despair and fear spread through them. Love turned to hate, and anger spread.
But the torrent of abuse hadn't yet arrived.
A simple, dark-colored spear appeared in Roy's hand, attracting the attention and curiosity of many.
Could that gun be more powerful than the Spear of the Moon?
Roy murmured, "Sharpshooter, unleash!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the seemingly ordinary divine spear suddenly burst forth with a light that engulfed everything, carrying the holiness of purifying all things and the sharpness of piercing through the void!
The sacred runes on the gun lit up one by one, as if the sleeping stars were being rekindled, and the entire space was illuminated as a dazzling deep blue domain. The terrifying energy fluctuations distorted the space itself.
This is the divine spear "Gungnir" that he obtained when he and Ryu went on an adventure to the Great Tree Sea!
The user level requirement is LV.8 or higher.
"Pfft!"
In the lower realm, even the most knowledgeable sages and adventurers knew nothing about the gun. Only the gods spat out a mouthful of saliva, their eyes nearly popping out of their sockets as they stared at Roy in disbelief.
The gods thought to themselves, "Impossible!"
While they were still in the doubting stage, one person had already confirmed the answer: Freya.
"That gun is?!"
Freya, who was in the man-made maze, was trying to glimpse Roy's true soul color. When she saw the activated divine gun, her expression changed drastically. All the color quickly faded from her stunning face, and a hint of fear appeared deep in her eyes.
I was terrified!!
No one knew better than Freya what that divine spear was! It was Odin's Gungnir!
Back in the celestial realm, that great god was always afraid that she would use her power of beauty to bewitch all the gods. He held that divine spear almost all the time, and if she made the slightest abnormal move, he would throw the divine spear, hitting her with 100% accuracy and killing her instantly!
It can be said that for over a hundred million years, that divine spear was always at her neck, threatening her life. She was even shot once, which left her with deep psychological trauma.
So you can recognize it at a glance.
Why did that divine spear end up in Roy's hands?! Freya's mind was in turmoil, erupting in a hysterical roar and questioning.
And when did he get this gun?
Just thinking about this question sent chills down Freya's spine. An astonishing coldness rose from the soles of her feet to the top of her head, and her delicate body trembled uncontrollably.
How reckless and ignorant she was to dare cause trouble at the Star Court!
If Roy wanted revenge, he could just pull out this divine gun and shoot her dead instantly, without a doubt!
She's only alive now because of Roy's magnanimity!
Freya's eyes welled up with tears, her small nose twitched, and her pearly white teeth trembled. A trace of fear and humiliation appeared on her face.
I was so scared I cried!!
at the same time.
Amidst gasps and incredulous stares, the phantom figure from the depths of the void—Artemis—released her finger from the bowstring, and the heavenly arrow, powerful enough to destroy the world, was finally released.
The arrow, carrying the terrifying power to crush stars, left the bowstring and transformed into a pale meteor that stretched across the sky, plummeting violently towards the world below.
An extreme sense of danger!
Facing that arrow, it felt as if the hearts of everyone in the world were gripped by a cold, giant hand, and a chilling despair, originating from the depths of their souls, spread like a plague in an instant through everyone's hearts.
It's suffocating! It's devastating!
At the top of the Tower of Babel, the wind howls fiercely.
Roy stood atop the world's tallest building, his body appearing so small yet so imposing under the awe-inspiring power that seemed to destroy the world.
Gazing at that pale, destructive streak of light, his eyes showed no sign of retreat, only unwavering resolve.
Roy's arm muscles were taut and clenched like steel cables, and all his strength was poured into the ancient divine spear in his hand. The spear seemed to sense his will, trembling violently and humming with a soul-stirring sound.
"go!"
Roy let out a roar that ripped through the sky, took a step forward, and hurled the divine spear.
call out!
Gungnir, the divine spear, transformed into a golden streak of light that tore through the eternal night, carrying the hopes of the entire world as it soared against the heavens, defiantly meeting the arrow of annihilation!
The next instant, the golden spear and the white arrow collided with a deafening roar at the highest point of the sky.
No sound.
Or rather, at the point of impact, all sound was swallowed up by something even more terrifying!
Rumble!!
After a brief period of deathly silence, pure, destructive energy fluctuations manifested as an ever-expanding transparent sphere, spreading out in all directions.
Wherever the wave reached, space cracked like fragile glass. Within a radius of tens of thousands of miles, whether it was a thick sea of clouds or a thin mist, everything was completely torn apart and annihilated the moment it came into contact with that destructive wave! The sky was swept clean in an instant, revealing a deep and awe-inspiring expanse.
The sky was cloudless!
The stalemate lasted only a moment!
Under the watchful eyes of countless people, at the center of the world-destroying energy storm, the divine spear Gungnir forcefully countered the destructive torrent of the world-destroying arrow, unstoppable, piercing and disintegrating the pale meteorite!
It's not over yet!
Gungnir, the divine spear, is guaranteed to hit its target once it is thrown. Roy's chosen target was Scorpio, or rather, Artemis herself! The arrows that destroyed Artemis's phantom were just a side effect.
Gungnir streaked through the air like a meteor, accurately striking the core of Andaris, the scorpion hidden within the Great Sea of Trees!
It pierced straight through Artemis's divine body.
The God Assassin is immune to divine power, meaning he has complete resistance to divine magic, but he can still be affected by indirect physical attacks!
For example, directly bombarding them with divine power would have no effect, but moving a mountain with divine power would crush these black monsters that are immune to divine power.
Explosion instantly!
The scorpion Andaris was immediately torn to pieces by the gale created by Gungnir, while Artemis's body inside the crystal regained its vitality!
The three special effects of Gungnir the Sniper.
Guaranteed! Destruction! Revival!
The first two ignore distance and defense, and will definitely hit the target, directly causing a fatal injury, dealing true damage equal to 100% of the target's maximum health!
The final resurrection is the key to saving Artemis, healing all wounds and bringing the dead back to life!
Even the gods are no exception!
"It worked?"
Around the world, people looked puzzled, unsure for a moment, until after a long while, the answer became certain.
The arrow from heaven has vanished!
The heavy, suffocating sense of crisis weighing on the hearts of hundreds of millions of people melted away in an instant, like ice meeting the scorching sun.
-
A torrent of ecstasy swept away all defenses.
Deafening cheers erupted in various regions, including Orario, the Kingdom of Lachia, the Northern Lands, and the Eastern Island Nation. People embraced each other wildly, wept with joy, and tears streamed down their faces.
On this day, the world was lifted out of the abyss of despair!
There was also a goddess who was swept up by the will of everyone in the world and almost willingly went to her death, hoping that her small expectation of being redeemed would be answered.
At the top of the Tower of Babel.
Roy breathed a sigh of relief; it was finally done.
"Roy!"
The Spear of the Moon transformed into Artemis's longing form. She gazed at the boy who had given his all, her voice thick with nasal tones and trembling uncontrollably. In her bright, beautiful eyes, glistening tears finally spilled out, rolling down like pearls from a broken string.
I can no longer suppress my surging emotions!
Ignoring everything, her moon-blue figure transformed into a streak of light, carrying a cool yet rich and alluring fragrance, as she rushed into Roy's broad and warm embrace.
Roy instinctively stretched out his arms and caught her steadily. Artemis, in his arms, had an exceptionally soft body, slightly cool and surprisingly elastic, clinging tightly to his body.
Hestia, standing nearby, stared wide-eyed. Was this Artemis, who never got involved in matters of men and women, who loathed men and for whom even shaking hands was taboo?
Asphi also found it unbelievable.
Hermes' mirror has not yet dissipated.
What happened next far exceeded Roy's, and even the world's, imagination.
Artemis, nestled in Roy's arms, tilted her head slightly, her exquisite face already flushed with a beautiful blush. A hint of shyness flashed in her eyes, but more so, a do-or-die courage and determination.
She did something that had never happened before and had never been imagined since she was born!
Artemis leaned forward and, to the astonishment of Hestia and Asphie, gently pressed her soft, fragrant lips, as delicate as rose petals, onto Roy's lips.
Time seemed to be enchanted with eternity at this moment, and everything stood still.
The soft, warm touch of their lips touching felt like an electric current coursing through their nerve endings.
Roy gently embraced Artemis, breathing in her cool, moonlight-like scent.
"Roy, I like you!"
boom!
The whole world erupted in a silent, tumultuous storm.
All the gods who witnessed this scene felt as if a bomb had exploded in their minds. All the composure and calm on their faces shattered in an instant, leaving only a blank of shock and disbelief. Their mouths opened wide involuntarily, and their eyes stared like copper bells, as if they had witnessed the complete collapse of the world.
"!!"
Hermes stared in disbelief at the image of the two kissing in the mirror, speechless for a long time. Finally, he couldn't help but give a thumbs up, marveling in his heart, "Roy, you're amazing!"
On this day, not only was the crisis of world destruction averted, but Artemis, one of the three virgin goddesses, was also conquered by a human, a moment that went down in history!
Even so, Hermes couldn't help but think of what had just happened, the cries of everyone in the world—all nations, great cities, countless gods, adventurers, rulers, and common people all wished for Artemis's death to avert the world's destruction.
Only Roy chose to save her!
Even Artemis, the goddess of chastity, whose heart had been frozen for hundreds of millions of years, could not help but be moved and completely melted!
