Chapter 1066: Chapter 799: Aleye_2
Dionysus laughed maniacally.
"With a part of my true flesh, the polluted Immortal Spirit’s main body lurking far beyond the 59th floor of the underground city, is about to be summoned into my kin!"
"Observe closely!"
"The being that will appear next is the one destined to end Orario, revert the lower world to ancient times, and rekindle the frenzied feast in the world—’Nidhogg’!"
Originally, Dionysus put his hopes for destroying Orario on the seventh Immortal Spirit clone that he named ’Nidhogg’.
He knew that once the [Immortal Spirit Six Circles] was activated, the city’s deities would unite to stop it, desperately trying to defeat the six Immortal Spirit clones.
Hence, he made a backup plan before the [Immortal Spirit Six Circles] was activated, cultivating a seventh Immortal Spirit clone to discreetly join the circles when it was activated.
Thus, even if [Immortal Spirit Six Circles] was eventually stopped, the seventh Immortal Spirit clone could absorb the vast magical power stored during the weaving of the Great Secret Technique.
The seventh Immortal Spirit clone, having absorbed so much magic power, would become a bomb itself.
This bomb would kill all adventurers invading the artificial maze, sending Orario’s strongest adventurers to hell.
This way, even if Orario managed to survive, losing a large number of high-level adventurers would cause this city to crumble, exiting the stage of history like the fallen Zeus Clan and Hera Clan.
The decline of the Zeus and Hera Clans led to Orario’s dark age, and if powerful clans like Loki’s fell too, the next dark age would not only arrive immediately but also engulf the entire lower world.
In such a scenario, would Orario still be able to serve as a "lid", continuing to seal off the underground city as usual?
No, it wouldn’t be possible.
This means Dionysus was targeting the adventurers guarding Orario, not just Orario itself.
If Orario was destroyed but the adventurers survived, they would undoubtedly have the ability to rebuild a maze city and push monsters back underground.
Humans are tenacious, and Dionysus firmly believed this while watching the chaotic people below.
Therefore, he made this secondary preparation.
Who knew, when he cultivated the seventh Immortal Spirit clone, the polluted Immortal Spirit would offer a part of its true flesh to him.
Now, Dionysus immediately changed his plan, opting to summon the polluted Immortal Spirit’s main body on the surface to destroy everything.
"I didn’t expect ’her’ to suddenly act like this; it must be due to the anomaly on the 59th floor’s Immortal Spirit clone that startled ’her’, right?"
"The Immortal Spirit clone on the 59th floor underwent an inexplicable mutation that even I couldn’t comprehend, suddenly gaining tremendous power and absorbing massive magic power."
"For ’her’, who desires to devour everything, this change must be exhilarating."
To gain more power, the polluted Immortal Spirit even set its sights on Ais, wanting to devour this human with Immortal Spirit bloodline.
Reiger, back on the 59th floor, to push Finn and others to fully transcend, gifted the Immortal Spirit clone a magic stone storing eleven thousand years of magical power.
Feeling the power, the polluted Immortal Spirit was indeed ecstatic.
For this reason, the polluted Immortal Spirit did two things.
One was preparing to create more tentacles to help itself find that power, which is why Valleta got a colorful magic stone from Reveis’s hand.
The other was being unable to sit idly by any longer, finding ways to give part of its flesh to Dionysus to complete its summoning.
"She" was going to act personally.
Dionysus happily obliged, changing his plan, not hesitating to sacrifice his beloved kin as an offering, using the magical power accumulated by the Immortal Essence Great Secret Technique to complete the summoning of the polluted Immortal Spirit’s main body.
"Be grateful!"
"Feel honored!"
"The new Monster King, rivaling Nidhogg and the one-eyed black dragon, is about to appear on the surface!"
Dionysus shouted.
"Come forth!"
"Come forth!"
"Come forth!"
"You who descended into the underground city in ancient times, unfortunately devoured by monsters, thus falling—polluted Immortal Spirit!"
"Named—Aleye!"
When Dionysus’s voice fell, the entity that should have been Ye’en vanished, engulfed by endless magic power.
She was completely consumed by the green flesh, becoming a cocoon.
The cocoon pulsated madly, extending countless tentacles that pierced into the black dragon-like Immortal Spirit clone named ’Nidhogg’, decomposing it into particles to swiftly absorb.
At the same time, the vast magical power accumulated by the Immortal Spirit Great Secret Technique, sung by the six Immortal Spirit clones for over a month, nearly two, was also absorbed by the cocoon as magical circuits emerged.
"■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■——!"
At this moment, within the six altars on the 10th floor of the artificial maze Knossos, the six Immortal Spirit clones collectively stopped singing.
Instead of chanting the Immortal Spirit Great Secret Technique, they seemed out of control, collectively emitting screeches from their pre-immature female forms.
"What?"
Finn stopped his incessant spear-wielding.
"Stopped?"
Revilia also ceased her magic chanting.
"...A foreboding sense."
Ais’s Immortal Spirit bloodline stirred like never before, changing her expression abruptly.
"What’s going on?"
"...Something’s not right, I’m getting anxious."
Both Theona and Theone were also shaken.
"What tricks are they up to now...!"
Bert kicked a worm-like monster, shouting loudly.
"Hey hey hey, isn’t this somewhat ominous?"
Even Grace felt something, his hand gripping the battle axe tightening unconsciously.
Anyone with keen senses, especially the first-level adventurers, could feel an indescribable fear emanating from each Immortal Spirit clone.
"Reiger..."
Rephia stood on the battlefield, gazing at the Immortal Spirit clones that emitted a chilling roar, calling out as if seeking reassurance.
Only Reiger knew clearly that the worst was about to happen.
This was an event that didn’t even occur in the original story.
This was a butterfly effect triggered by his actions.
"...It seems we’re in real trouble this time."
Amid his muttered words, the giant cocoon in front of him split open.
Like a worm transforming into a butterfly, first a hand emerged from the cocoon, then another, and finally both hands forcefully tore open the cocoon, allowing the life within to break free into the world.
She had long hair the color of verdant green.
She possessed a glamorous, alluring, and incredibly voluptuous figure.
Her skin was as white as snow, her appearance exquisite like a goddess, breathtakingly beautiful beyond earthly things.
If the world’s most exquisite artwork had never been created until now, she would undoubtedly be this world’s most exquisite, without a doubt.
"Ah—"
A voice full of emotion replaced the cry of a newborn.
She was the Immortal Spirit—Aleye.
"Hehe..."
Her melodious, stream-like laughter echoed in the darkness underground.
That laughter wasn’t terrifying.
Yet, the world seemed destined to witness countless screams and wails because of that overly melodious laughter.
