Chapter 255

“Are you joking? The Dungeon is so huge; to use it as a foundation to put a shell on the outskirts would require countless manpower and resources!”

“If such a special area really existed, we couldn’t have failed to notice it back then!”

“You seem to have some misconceptions.”

Lin Que shrugged: “The artificial labyrinth I’m talking about wasn’t created within the few years of the Dark Age.”

“Ever since the master craftsman Daedalus cast a curse on his own bloodline a thousand years ago, this labyrinth has been under construction.”

“Over so many years, even that old fox Ouranos hasn’t noticed the existence of the artificial labyrinth, let alone you.”

“Even God Ouranos didn’t notice... then how do you know?”

Ryuu’s face was full of doubt: “You only arrived in Orario today, so how do you know about the existence of the artificial labyrinth?”

“Could it be... that those people in the artificial labyrinth are colluding with existences outside the city?”

“In order to raise funds to purchase materials, they do indeed have some shady transactions with some people outside Orario.”

“But you can rest assured, I don’t know them, and I haven’t participated in those transactions either.”

Lin Que replied with a smile: “I know about the artificial labyrinth purely because I didn’t seal my own power just to experience life like Ouranos and the others.”

“For an area as conspicuous as that, I just took a casual look upward when I was on the 50th floor of the Dungeon and saw it.”

Ryuu: “...”

Compared to the artificial labyrinth, did the other party just say something even more terrifying?

...a few.

Gods are the supreme existences in this world.

Even the weakest god has wisdom and power far beyond humans and can destroy the entire world.

Things like the Three Great Quests or conquering the Dungeon are, after all, just the wishes of humans.

If any god were willing to take action, it would have all been solved a thousand years ago or even earlier.

In other words, gods are the greatest threat in this world.

Suddenly knowing that a god who hadn’t sealed their power was standing before her, even Ryuu, who was eager for revenge, couldn’t help but feel a chill.

“Ma ma~ don’t be nervous, I’m a good god.”

But as if guessing what she was thinking, Lin Que suddenly raised his finger and tapped her forehead.

“And if I have to say it, I’m not on the same path as the gods of your world.”

“Don’t think about snitching, Ryuu.”

“If we really fought, even if I let them use both hands and feet, they wouldn’t be able to beat me.”

Ryuu: “...”

Isn’t the problem even more serious then!

Ryuu’s expression became increasingly complex.

On one hand, she was shocked by Lin Que’s words, which sounded very scary; on the other hand, she was serious about the information that suddenly appeared in her mind.

Quickly digesting this sudden information, Ryuu sighed heavily.

“A god from another world, huh? I didn’t expect you to be such a special existence.”

“That’s not the point.”

Lin Que shook his head slightly: “I told you my origin just so you would be more likely to believe my words next.”

“You only need to understand one thing now, and that is that only I have the ability to help you achieve your dream while being willing to help you.”

“Besides me, even that goddess you revere can only choose to stand by and watch.”

“You mean killing Juras?”

Ryuu looked at Lin Que with some doubt: “If it’s only to that extent, it’s not as serious as you say, right?”

“No, no, no, it’s still quite serious.”

Lin Que replied with a smile: “Why do you think the artificial labyrinth where Juras is located is called a labyrinth?”

“There are a large number of traps laid out there, and in terms of danger, it is no less than the Dungeon.”

“Without being prepared, even a Level 6 would not return.”

“Do you think... for such an extremely dangerous area, who else but me would help you sneak in just to kill a minor character who isn’t very important?”

“Even a Level 6 can’t get out unscathed?”

Ryuu’s expression became serious for the first time: “Since it’s so dangerous there... then God Lin Que, do you have a good infiltration plan?”

“Infiltration plan? Why would I need something like that?”

Lin Que raised his palm and casually pulled out a space gate.

“I told you how dangerous it is so you would understand my importance, not because it’s tricky for me.”

“Let’s go, the other North North North Side of the gate is the artificial labyrinth. I’ll take you to see Juras directly.”

Ryuu: “...”

Almost forgot again, this is a god who hasn’t sealed their own power.

Artificial Labyrinth, 18th floor, in a room located in the southeast corner.

Several magic stone lamps were embedded in the surrounding walls, emitting light to dispel the darkness.

Scattered blueprints were strewn around the room, making it look messy.

In the center of the room, a cat-person with only his left hand remaining sat in front of a wooden table, his eyes fixed on the map placed on the table.

Perhaps he was designing something, as he occasionally raised his remaining left hand to draw and modify the map.

Bang~! Bang~! Bang~!

I don’t know how much time passed, but a burst of intense knocking suddenly sounded, and an urgent voice came from outside the door.

“Boss Juras, it’s bad! An accident happened!”

Something happened?

Juras frowned slightly, put down the pen and paper in his hand, walked over to open the room door, and looked at the werewolf standing outside.

“Calm down, what kind of decorum is this, being so flustered.”

After his train of thought for drawing the map was interrupted, Juras, somewhat dissatisfied, reprimanded him and asked.

“Speak, what accident happened? If it’s some trivial matter, I’ll turn you into an accident today.”

“It’s your arch-nemesis, Gale Leon!”

The werewolf Takk replied incoherently: “I just saw Gale Leon in the artificial labyrinth!”

“Gale Leon?!”

Juras, who had been very calm and composed a second ago, instantly broke out in a shrill voice: “Are you sure you didn’t see wrong!”

“Isn’t she working at that tavern on the surface! How could she appear here!”

“I don’t know.”

Looking at Juras, who was even more nervous than himself and whose body started to tremble just hearing a name, Takk’s expression became somewhat helpless.

“Boss Juras, didn’t you give me a photo before and let me see what Gale Leon looks like?”

“I saw a woman who looked exactly like the one in the photo on my way here, so I ran to find you.”

“Then where is she now!”

Juras hurriedly asked: “Is she in the nearby area? Or is she in...”

“Juras——!!!”

Before Juras could finish his question, a roar full of anger and resentment suddenly sounded from the corner on the right.

Juras’s body paused, and he looked over subconsciously.

The next second, a figure familiar to him appeared before him, holding a wooden sword.

“Go to hell!”

“Oh no!”

Juras reacted immediately, his body retreating frantically backward, retreating directly into the room to dodge this blow.

Bang~!

The wooden sword fell without the slightest hesitation, directly knocking Takk, who had just been talking to Juras, flying away.

After completing this blow, Ryuu didn’t even look at Takk, but turned directly to look at the room to the North North North Side, assuming a charging stance.
