Chapter 838
"Lord Dionysus, I don't want Orario to be destroyed."
Fi'erzangsi had just finished speaking when a faint, intermittent chanting voice rang out beside her ear.
"I'm afraid it's already too late. Since the Corrupted Fairy Spirits have made their move, they must have made thorough preparations. The singing-like sound you're hearing now should be the incantations being chanted by the Corrupted Fairy Spirit clones stationed at the various mana nodes deep within the Artificial Labyrinth."
"The formula hasn't fully activated yet. I'll go down and kill them right now!"
Fi'erzangsi's face revealed killing intent.
"Corrupted Fairy Spirit clones capable of activating the Six-Ring Formula are at least Level 7 at minimum. Fi'erzangsi, your strength is not bad, and I believe you can eliminate one or two clones.
However, once the Six-Ring Formula activates, unless every single Corrupted Fairy Spirit clone is wiped out, there is fundamentally no way to interrupt the formula.
And right now, judging by the frequency of this incantation singing, the Six-Ring Formula will likely be completely activated in two to three hours. At that time, the Divine Pillar — second only to the power of Heaven — will appear. The moment it appears, it will uproot all of Orario along with the surrounding areas.
You think it's possible to go solve so many Corrupted Fairy Spirit clones in such a short time?
If you ask me, our best option right now is to quickly pack up and flee from Orario a step ahead."
"What about the other people in Orario?"
"At a time like this, we're also powerless. The only ones we can save are the few people around us."
"No, there's still another way. My strength alone is indeed insufficient, but if you add Broly and Lefiya and the others, we definitely can reach the depths of the Artificial Labyrinth Knossos before the Six-Ring Formula activates and eliminate all the Corrupted Fairy Spirit clones activating the formula."
Fi'erzangsi quickly thought of a plan.
"It's a good plan, but here's the problem. The anomaly in the Artificial Labyrinth only happened a short while ago. With everyone still not having figured out the situation inside, if you run over and tell your acquaintances that you know the situation, how will you explain the source of this information? Are you going to directly tell them that you were one of the masterminds behind the Six-Ring Formula?"
Dionysus looked at Fi'erzangsi with a sorrowful gaze; his rhetorical question was like a knife stabbing into the White Shrine Maiden's heart. "This—"
Fi'erzangsi was at a loss for words, frozen in place, somewhat at a loss.
"If you ask me, Fi'erzangsi, using an excuse to take people away from Orario would actually be the better choice.
By then, under the Six-Ring Formula, the traces of what we once did will be completely erased.
Even if the lid of Babel Tower disappears and the Corrupted Fairy Spirits reach the surface, returning the era to thousands of years ago when monsters still rampaged across the land, with your sufficient strength, you could still survive in that cruel world — you might even become heroes."
Dionysus spoke earnestly, and in his Divine Eye, Fi'erzangsi's soul produced a wavering because of his words.
Whether to expose the existence of the Six-Ring Formula, risking the possibility of exposing her own ugly past, to save a group of people not closely related to herself.
Or to choose to ignore the completion of the Six-Ring Formula, use an excuse to take her close ones away from danger, and welcome a future where she might become a false hero.
Dionysus didn't particularly care what choice Fi'erzangsi would make. What he wanted to see was precisely this spirit child of his, because of the noble quality existing within her, falling into the trolley problem's multiple-choice question, her soul struggling in pain.
"Lord Dionysus, I cherish the days before me very much. I don't want to live in the unsightly past. Even if this exposes my past ugliness, I still want to preserve the nobility I possess now—"
The White Shrine Maiden's wavering was quickly replaced by determination. She bowed to Dionysus and ran straight out of the Faction Residence, rushing toward Hearth Manor with swift footsteps.
"The Six-Ring Formula was actually activated?"
Rewinding time slightly, a street loafer on Daedalus Street, holding purchased ingredients and returning to his house, idling away his time, frowned upon hearing the faint singing in the air.
"Under the circumstances where the Artificial Labyrinth Knossos was discovered and large numbers of Adventurers continuously entered to capture it, Enio's plan to destroy Orario actually succeeded?"
The loafer took off the human-skin mask on his face, revealing an exquisite female face underneath. Revis frowned, thinking about some things.
From the standpoint of a Monster, she should have been happy to see the Six-Ring Formula activate. After all, once it succeeded, her top Boss, the Corrupted Fairy Spirit, could come to the surface.
But—
Revis thought of a certain person's figure.
【Following the Corrupted Fairy Spirits, not only do I need to live like a rat hiding in the shadows, fending for my own food and lodging, but I also have to be ordered to do all sorts of dirty and exhausting work.
Yet the Irregulars, and the Justice Girls of the Astraea Familia who are similar to Monsters, can live openly under the sunlight.
Enio's designed Six-Ring Formula — it's perfect as my investiture for pledging allegiance to the Demon King—】
The thought of defecting arose, and she suddenly felt the world become vast.
The female Monster Revis took a bread, bit into it fiercely, threw on a hood, and went out the door again.
While the White Shrine Maiden rushed toward Hearth Manor, she also rushed in the direction of Hearth Manor.
The positions where the two lived were about the same distance from Hearth Manor, and their traveling speeds were also about the same.
At the entrance of Hearth Manor, Fi'erzangsi and Revis ran directly into each other.
"Monster?!"
Upon seeing Revis, Fi'erzangsi directly drew the short sword at her waist.
"White Shrine Maiden?!"
Revis frowned and hurriedly raised her hands, making a surrender gesture.
"Don't move."
"What are you doing here?"
"I'm here to pledge allegiance to the Demon King of Hearth Manor, Broly-sama."
"Eh?"
These words made Fi'erzangsi somewhat stunned.
In her view, since the Six-Ring Formula wasn't activated by her side, it was naturally activated by the Monster side represented by Revis.
But now—
"You think I'd believe your words?"
"No, I'm not here to pledge allegiance to you. Do I need your belief?"
Revis frowned; the White Shrine Maiden's reaction in front of her was a bit strange.
And the other party's sword-holding posture actually gave her a kind of inexplicable deja vu, as if she had seen it somewhere before.
The atmosphere at the entrance became somewhat deadlocked.
"I'm in a hurry—"
"I'm in a hurry too."
"Then how about we go in together?"
Revis, who also knew the Six Ring Technique, did not want to keep dragging things out here, so she made a proposal.
"Good."
Fi'erzangsi was also pressed for time, and agreed to this proposal.
The Magic Stone Doorbell was pressed and rang, and Broly came out to open the door.
"Eh, Fi'erzangsi?"
"Broly, I have an important matter to tell you——"
Fi'erzangsi had not yet finished speaking.
"Demon King-sama, I have important intelligence to report to you——"
At the side, Revis directly knelt on one knee.
"You are, that female monster I let go before?"
Broly looked at Revis, thought for a while, and only then remembered who this person actually was.
"Yes, I am called Revis. Thanks to Broly-sama's previous tolerance, I have managed to barely survive in this world."
"Fine then, what important intelligence do you have? Report it to me."
"I wonder if Broly-sama has heard this faint, intermittent singing?"
"I heard it, so what?"
Broly looked at her in puzzlement. An anomaly had occurred at the Artificial Labyrinth, but he himself was not involved in that, so he hadn't paid it much attention.
As for this sudden strange singing, it had even less influence on him; he simply treated it as background music for dual cultivation with his many wives.
"This is actually not a song, but the incantation of a Jutsu with terrifying power."
"Eh?!" Big 2
"My direct superior, the Polluted Fairy Essence hidden deep in the Dungeon, is cooperating with a mysterious God on the surface codenamed Enio——"
Revis did not hesitate in the slightest, and told everything she knew about the Six Ring Technique and the Orario Destruction Plan.
"And the reason I came to confess this to you is that I want to break free from the Polluted Fairy Essence's control. I want to pledge allegiance under Broly-sama's banner and seek your protection."
Revis lowered her head. She did not do any bargaining; she directly handed over the chips she had for pledging allegiance.
It can be said that as long as Broly does not agree, she is purely giving herself away for nothing.
At the side, Fi'erzangsi watched Revis's low posture, and fell somewhat silent.
She hadn't expected this guy to actually come to inform on them, unreservedly revealing the bottom details of the Six Ring Technique to Broly. "Fine, your intelligence is very useful. I can protect you."
Broly nodded and gave his promise. If he hadn't known about the Six Ring Technique, once the technique completed its activation, he would likely be the only one left alive beside him.
"Broly-sama, I am infinitely grateful. I am willing to serve as your vanguard, to guide the way for you, and go to the nodes of the Six Ring Technique to stop the technique's activation."
"Mm."
Broly nodded, but did not rush off in a panic to go deal with the Polluted Fairy Essence Clone in the Artificial Labyrinth; instead he looked at the White Shrine Maiden and asked.
"Fi'erzangsi, I wonder what important matter you have to find me for?"
"Uh, my matter is actually the same thing as this Miss Monster."
"Huh?!"
Revis looked over at her.
"I have seen records of the Fairy Spirit Six Ring Technique in an Ancient Book. After hearing that faint singing, I thought of this possibility, so I came to find you——"
This was a reasonable excuse Fi'erzangsi had thought up when she came over, but it seems it can't be used now, because the monster side directly sent a high-level guide.
"Since it's all the same matter, then I'll go with Revis to the Artificial Labyrinth side and solve the Polluted Fairy Essence Clone hiding inside."
Broly had just prepared to leave when Fi'erzangsi grabbed him.
"You plan to go alone?"
"Mm, is there a problem with that?"
"The Ancient Book I read recorded that a Fairy Spirit capable of joining hands to unleash this Forbidden Jutsu possesses absolutely unfathomable strength. If it's just you alone, I worry danger will appear. Why not notify Lefiya and Miss Ais, and have them go help too?"
Broly had just wanted to say no need, when Ais poked her head out from inside the room: "Broly, I heard everything. This matter involves a Fairy Spirit, so I'm going too."
Pull up the radish and the mud comes with it. Ais planned to go along, and after the others found out and learned the whole story, they also planned to follow along. "Fine then, if we go together we go together. Hestia-sama and Freya-sama, you all come along too."
A whole herd of people at home wanted to go join the bustle, and Broly couldn't very well stop them. He thought for a bit and had Hestia and those Goddess wives come along too.
"Eh, I have to go too?"
The Loli Goddess was a bit dazed, not knowing what use she would be going.
"If the situation isn't right, Hestia-sama, you all stay by my side, and it should be a bit safer."
"Ah, if you want safety, shouldn't you have the Goddess-sama leave Orario?"
Fi'erzangsi was a bit puzzled, but Hestia directly agreed.
A whole herd from Hearth Manor rushed noisily toward the direction of Daedalus Street.
"Eh, Broly, you all also heard the news of the Artificial Labyrinth anomaly and came to assist in battle?"
Arriving at the Artificial Labyrinth entrance, they saw Eina. This Dungeon Advisor wife directly came over to ask.
"Miss Eina, I'm not here to assist in battle. I'm here to save Orario——"
"Huh?!"
Under the Half-Elf's puzzled gaze, Broly concisely explained the situation of the Six Ring Technique, and with the high-level guide Revis at his side, the information could be completely verified.
After the Guild learned of the situation Eina reported, they quickly reacted.
They ordered a blockade of the Artificial Labyrinth entrance, and privately issued a secret commission to Broly.
The commission content was to resolve the Fairy Spirit Six Ring Technique crisis, and the reward was Magic Stones worth nearly two hundred billion Valis.
The Guild has nothing else, just lots of Magic Stones. They also knew Broly's side needed a large supply of Magic Stones.
"Broly, do you have confidence?"
In front of the Artificial Labyrinth, Eina was somewhat worried.
"Rest assured, Miss Eina, this is just a small problem."
Broly reached out and embraced this Half-Elf wife of his, giving her a sense of security through the hug.
"Then, I will pray for you here."
Eina was comforted; she revealed a smile to the Saiyan youth.
"What are you saying, you're coming down with me too."
"Eh?"
Amidst Eina's confused exclamation, Broly took her away as well.
And descending into the Artificial Labyrinth together with him were quite a few people, among them the Freya Familia.
Ottar, Hedin, and the others had come to protect Freya.
They were extremely dissatisfied with Broly's behavior of privately bringing their Goddess into the Artificial Labyrinth.
They just couldn't defeat Broly; their words carried little weight, and they couldn't oppose it.
"All of you stop pulling long faces; with this child Broly here, who do you think can harm me?"
"However, no matter what, that guy shouldn't have brought you, Lady Freya, into a dangerous place."
"That's true, but I feel that by his side is actually the safest place."
Freya's words left Ottar and the others unable to refute.
Because ahead, no matter what monsters, they would all be instant-killed by Broly's Sword Qi the moment they showed their heads.
All the way down, it was just like going on a picnic in the suburbs.
【Broly, I acknowledge that you, who can make Fi'erzangsi set her heart on you, are very strong.
However, those Polluted Fairy Essence Clones in the depths of Knossos — to enhance their strength, I even sacrificed that guy Sanatos.
Having absorbed a God's Divine Power, although not all of it, their strength also exceeds Lv. 7.
Go on, proceed forward——】
Dionysus had also followed down, claiming it was to live and die together with his own child, but actually it was just to closely appreciate the pain and despair about to appear on the face of the Saiyan up ahead.
