She glared at the despicable scumbag, about to ask him why he hadn't died, when she suddenly realized that the person in front of her was wearing the same clothes as the mysterious deity from before!
Is it really that difficult?!
"That's right, I've never said I'm an ordinary person."
Eugene smiled and shrugged, the stark contrast between his nonchalant tone and his true identity leaving Lefia stunned and frozen in place.
All her other emotions and doubts were shattered, leaving only one question in her mind...
"Why! Why would you do such a thing?!"
The girl's eyes immediately welled up with tears as she uttered a stern question.
You've plunged all of Orario into despair, inflicted such severe harm on the Loki Familia, and deliberately provoked this brutal battle—what are you trying to do?
A series of incoherent shouts rang in his ears, and after Lefia finished venting her anger, Eugene simply picked at his ear casually.
Nothing could shake his will, neither in the past nor now.
"Don't you know why God descended to the mortal realm?"
Eugene countered with a question.
Lefia easily came to a conclusion. She wanted to answer righteously that it was for the sake of all living beings, but when she met Eugene's eyes, which were gentle on the surface but impossible to see through, as if they were covered by a barrier.
She then realized the cruel truth.
pleasure.
The lower realm is God's chessboard, God's paradise.
"Therefore, I, as a god, am no different from them."
"For the sake of a little bit of unconventional fun, that's all."
A little bit?
Lefia's hands were ice-cold, and her body trembled as she took a half-step back.
To unleash a natural disaster that could instantly annihilate hundreds of thousands of people, just because... it's fun!?
"You've misunderstood, miss."
Under the influence of illusion, Lefia's true feelings were revealed.
"Destroying the Nether is something I can do in a little while."
"What's the point of repeating what you're capable of, and then there's 2.3?"
"If you're going to do something, you have to make even heaven and hell tremble; that's what makes it grand enough."
"Heavens, heaven and hell?" Lefia was increasingly confused by his words.
She had heard that there was a special place for reincarnation in the heavens, and it would be fitting to call it paradise.
But hell?
Do those places that only exist in stories really exist?
Eugene smiled but didn't say anything, only pointing downwards.
Lefia looked down in the direction he was pointing, and in the next instant, cold sweat poured down her back!
What stretched endlessly from beneath our feet was a pitch-black abyss covered with bones and crawling with monsters. In its deepest part, a giant, blood-red eye, filled with venom, stared upwards!
"The land where gods have fallen, the graveyard of all living beings, is hell."
"That's right, it's this underground city that's constantly trying to engulf the world."
383, why is this hole so dark and deep!
383
hell.
It is deeper than any abyss, more murky than any darkness.
That place is a bottomless pit that buries, devours, and corrupts life.
It is an entity that symbolizes terror.
In this world, it is this underground city that exudes endless malice towards humanity!
"Don't you want to explore the true mysteries of the world?"
"It's right here."
Eugene smiled and pointed to the endless nightmare stretching out beneath his feet. Taking advantage of Lefia's legs going weak with fright, he hugged her tightly again.
"What... what is this?!"
Leaning against the man's body, Rafia clutched his clothes tightly with her small hands, regaining a sense of security.
She turned her face away with difficulty, feeling an unprecedented fear.
Having lived in the dungeon for several years, I have faced powerful enemies and beast tides more than once.
But this time, just by looking at her, she felt as if her heart was being eroded by darkness.
This eerie and chilling feeling was almost like a curse.
In particular, the moment one met the gaze of that giant eye, which was at the edge of their field of vision yet seemed to appear right in front of them, it felt as if their very soul was being dragged and torn apart.
Could that be the true form of Dungeon 18?
"Perhaps it is because of God's capriciousness that you have forgotten the true nature of this so-called underground city."
"Before the age of gods, it was not a place that just anyone could enter."
"Endless bloodthirsty monsters emerge from the ground day and night, bringing an inextinguishable war to the world."
"It creates countless misfortunes and takes away countless lives."
"Even the legendary mercenary king 'Albert' could only explore the upper levels."
Eugene recounted, word by word, the history that had only been depicted in the mobile game DanMachi.
The era of heroes was far more brutal than people today can imagine.
Without divine favor or a mature system for supporting adventurers, even the most ordinary monsters must be fought with all one's might.
For thousands of years, heroes have risen from blood and fire, and fallen from them.
"Back then, this place was called the 'Great Hole That Swallows the World'."
“It existed long before the ‘Great Tree Sea’ and ‘Dragon Valley’, bringing ruthless destruction to all things.”
As Rafia's expression changed at these horrific descriptions, Eugene abruptly changed the subject.
"So, here's the problem."
"Can you guess why, among the three great secret realms now considered to be of equal rank, only this place was sealed by the great god Uranus?"
The monsters' hatred for the gods, the terrifying glares from the dungeons, and the gods' completely different and biased treatment of them—these clues laid bare have, over a long history, drawn a long, winding, profound, and bloody trail.
“It, no, He…”
The elven girl's back trembled, and her pretty face turned pale.
Her trembling gaze brought a satisfied smile to Eugene's face.
Yes.
The only one capable of changing this world is "He".
……
Traversing countless darknesses.
Due to the cataclysmic explosion, the underground city, which was severely impacted, went into a frenzy several times.
A portion of her was forcibly removed, and more than ten super-deep floors were reduced to nothingness, meaning that land nearly dozens of times the size of Orario was destroyed in one fell swoop.
All of this happened in just a few minutes.
The cataclysmic tremors raged on and on, and the destroyers who were supposed to drive out the invaders were crushed to pieces by the rock walls before they could even climb out of the mother rock.
However, without a foothold, they are of little use in such a vast and boundless darkness as they cannot fly.
In the very center of that violently shaking space, a glaringly out-of-place light was calmly sinking down.
Its two prominent horns and powerful physique stand in stark contrast to the chaos of the place.
Now, even Niu Niu Eugene can no longer tell how deep he has dived.
After the realm of the Fallen Immortals was destroyed, the so-called number of levels became meaningless.
"It must be at least over ninety floors, right?"
This is the true forbidden zone for humans.
The monsters lurking in the shadows are all terrifying beings, exceeding level six or even higher.
Adventurers who reign supreme on the ground are nothing but ants here.
Even Alfia had only reached the seventy-first level, and had never seen such a hellish scroll before.
In other words, this is the only place that truly deserves the divine power of Uranus to govern.
Before his feet even touched the ground, Eugene had a thought, and the power of space carved out a neat passage below.
The enormous, growling monsters around them, though on the verge of going berserk, still dared not approach even an inch.
From their perspective, Eugene's figure was something indescribable.
The thing was enormous, its ten tentacles stretching out so far they could almost touch the moon in the sky.
Its single eye, set right in the center, exudes a power that distorts and disrupts space and time!
Deeper, deeper.
With an ethereal air, it continuously traverses downwards, the tunnel of time and space tearing apart barriers in its path without regard for reason.
During this process, the dungeon continuously mobilized its power, forcing countless monsters to step forward and obstruct it.
However, to her utter fury, her former absolute authority was now completely useless.
Even if it's manipulated by the curse of bloodline, all that's gained is the most humiliating groveling.
