Chapter 974: Chapter 748: The Missing Twin Sisters (Part 2)
A god was deported back to Heaven; this matter could be described as big or small.
Some principal gods of small clans might also be deported due to certain accidents, and if such an event occurs, it wouldn’t be considered significant.
However, if the deported god held a significant identity, it would be a different matter.
Therefore, everyone, both mortals and gods, was extremely concerned about this matter, and gathering information was necessary.
Regarding this, the explanation provided by the guild was very simple.
"It was just an accident with the principal god of a small clan, who was deported back to Heaven."
No matter what others said, the guild and the Ganisa Clan stuck to this explanation.
As expected, people couldn’t fully accept this explanation, but matters like this were given to the guild to handle.
Currently, the most important thing was the abnormal occurrences inside the artificial labyrinth Knossos.
Or rather, it was the situation with the green flesh.
After the Loki Familia withdrew from the artificial labyrinth Knossos, the green flesh completely poured out of that labyrinth.
According to Reiger, the only one able to freely enter and exit the artificial labyrinth, the inside had completely turned into a palace of flesh, with almost all areas consumed and covered by green flesh.
Under the invasion of the green flesh, aside from the Loki Familia successfully escaping, the previously withdrawn Istar Clan and the Kanis Clan also seemed unharmed.
In contrast, the members of the Thanatos Clan, which were the residue of the dark faction, had no intention of pre-emptively withdrawing from this stronghold. After the incident, they lost their power due to Thanatos’ deportation, resulting in them being consumed alongside the colorful monsters in the labyrinth by the green flesh.
It meant the dark faction was truly annihilated this time, with practically all remaining principal gods and residues dead.
Reiger also teleported into the main hall on the 9th level of the artificial labyrinth, where he found a skeleton.
It was the corpse of that Daedalus descendant, the man named Toka.
He didn’t seem to have died from being consumed by the green flesh, but had committed suicide.
With Thanatos deported, the structure of the artificial labyrinth destabilized, and the green flesh secreted by the Polluted Immortal Spirit spread throughout the labyrinth, seeing the family’s centuries of effort and obsession destroyed in a moment, the descendant of the divine craftsman fell into despair and chose to commit suicide in grief and anger.
With Valleta missing, the dark faction truly reached their end, with no possibility of survival.
Yet, the spread of the green flesh hasn’t stopped, but rather surged to the surface and into sewers through the entrance and exit of the labyrinth.
The deportation beam of Thanatos not only shook the structure of the artificial labyrinth, but also broke several floors, directly connecting to the surface, creating a big hole in Daedalus Street.
The green flesh surged out from that big hole and the sewer entrance, corroding a large section, almost swallowing up half of Daedalus Street.
Fortunately, the invasion of the green flesh had limits; after corroding the surroundings within a few dozen meters of the big hole and part of the Daedalus Street sewer, they finally calmed down.
Members of the Ganisa Clan tried to attack the green flesh, but faced autonomous retaliation from them, almost causing personnel losses, and eventually had to choose temporary inactivity, just sealing off Daedalus Street.
The situation only stabilized temporarily at this point.
However, the situation wasn’t favorable for the Loki Familia who withdrew from Daedalus Street.
...
Twillight Manor, captain’s office.
When the sky just began to brighten, the sleepless family executives gathered here.
Finn still sat in his position, Revilia accompanied by his side, Grace sat in the seat closest to the desk, while the family executives, including Raul and Angel, were either seated or standing nearby; all the first-class adventurers were present.
Loki was absent.
She had gone to the guild, negotiating about the artificial labyrinth Knossos, even taking Ishtar and Kanis with her, clearly intending not to let go of these two goddesses who colluded with the dark faction and acted against her children.
In the office, a heavy oppressive atmosphere loomed.
Ais lowered her gaze, feeling this atmosphere, Bert looked irritated, Raul taking deep breaths in nervousness, and Angel’s tail swayed constantly behind, clearly not in a good mood.
Even Reiger frowned, with a look of contemplation.
Grace remained silent.
Revilia sighed faintly.
After thinking with eyes closed for a while, Finn spoke calmly to break the silence.
"Still haven’t found Theona and Theone?"
Yes.
Everyone was present, except for Theona and Theone.
They were missing, even Reiger failed to find them, making everyone continuously worried, forming this excessively oppressive atmosphere.
"I’ve already asked the guild and Ganisa Clan for help in finding them." Revilia sighed: "But there’s still no news."
This made Bert click his tongue involuntarily.
"What are those idiot Amazon sisters up to? Could they really be in trouble?"
Bert’s attitude was worse than usual.
Evidently, the disappearance of Theona and Theone did affect him.
"It shouldn’t be, right?"
Upon hearing Bert’s words, Raul couldn’t help but speak out.
"I don’t believe anything happened to those two."
Angel also rarely spoke with emotional words.
"Don’t worry, they aren’t in trouble, at least for now." Revilia shook her head, saying: "Loki said she doesn’t feel Theona and Theone’s blessings disappearing, meaning they are surely still alive."
"Since those two girls are still alive, where exactly are they now?" Grace voiced dully: "Can’t be still in the artificial labyrinth, can they? It’s no longer a place for people to stay!"
The person who becomes a fleshly labyrinth would now be a gigantic monster in the maze, whoever stayed there would likely find only a dead end.
Even the residues of the dark faction were consumed; probably only monstrous beings with an unusual relationship to the Polluted Immortal Spirit could operate inside.
If Theona and Theone were still in the labyrinth, they couldn’t possibly still be alive.
Conversely, since they are still alive, it proves they aren’t in the artificial labyrinth.
And that’s actually the case.
"When I used magic to locate them, I couldn’t find where they were."
Reiger finally spoke, saying:
"If they were still in the artificial labyrinth, then there’s no way I couldn’t find even a trace."
After Reiger brought Finn and others back to the surface, he returned to the artificial labyrinth immediately, targeting Theona’s great double blades and Theone’s recurve blade to find them using [Object Localization].
The result was that Reiger didn’t receive any feedback from [Object Localization].
Then, Reiger used several kinds of informational detection magic, including [Life Sensing], to thoroughly search the artificial labyrinth again.
But he still couldn’t find Theona and Theone, completely losing their trace.
"The only explanation is that they’ve left the artificial labyrinth." Reiger said: "But perhaps they didn’t leave on their own; rather, someone took them away."
Whoever it was not only took Theona and Theone out of the artificial labyrinth but even out of Maze City Orario.
Only this way would Reiger’s detection magic not work, as their location had already surpassed his detection range.
"Are you sure?"
Finn opened his eyes, confirming with Reiger.
"If there are no accidents." Reiger nodded, saying: "Unless someone could completely evade my magic, rendering it ineffective."
"With your magical ability, there aren’t many who could deceive you." Revilia furrowed her delicate brows: "But if they were taken away, who could be responsible for it?"
The answer is actually quite simple.
"The Kanis Clan."
Ais, who had been lowering her gaze, lifted her head.
"Those two warrior girls from the fighting nation."
