CHAPTER 952: CHAPTER 730: IT’S OVER, TIME TO FINISH THIS

As a fellow Beauty God, that woman surpasses her in status, fame, and the power of her clan, even casting her aside to enjoy the world’s highest praises alone. This makes Ishtar more envious of Freyja than anyone else.

A woman’s jealousy is a capricious, rude, and terrifying thing.

It makes them lose their reason, lose their sanity, descend into malevolence, and turn the world upside down regardless of the consequences.

Such is the fearsome nature of a woman’s jealousy, let alone that of a goddess.

As omniscient and omnipotent beings, their jealousy can cause a person’s fate to spiral out of control, bringing chaos to the lower realms again and again.

Now, Ishtar is in such a state, willing to cooperate with the remnants of the dark factions to defeat Freyja.

Relying solely on her clan’s power would never be enough to match the Freyja Clan.

The Freyja Clan has one person at Lv.7, three at Lv.6, four at Lv.5, and a total of seven first-tier adventurers, along with a high-level group of 157 members and 5,000 believers who are non-combat personnel.

It is said that if the Freyja Clan were dissolved and its members dispersed to form new forces, the people in this clan could establish twenty medium-strength factions in Orario.

In contrast, the Istar Clan has only one first-tier adventurer, and that is Fulini.

Just looking at this, it’s clear how vast the gap is between the Istar Clan and the Freyja Clan.

Therefore, Ishtar does not hesitate to fall, cooperating with the remnants of the dark factions, providing them with funds and acquiring the power they offer with a vast amount of money to increase her clan’s combat strength.

Ishtar also sets her sights on one of the world’s few top-level forces in the lower realm, targeting the warrior nation of Telskyura, inviting the Kali Clan, whose main members, like her clan, are Amazons, to bolster her power.

"To think I would have the chance to battle the renowned Freyja Clan... such a rare opportunity, I shall accept."

The goddess of the warrior nation, eager for blood and slaughter, accepts Ishtar’s invitation and comes here for this reason.

What this goddess seeks is not battle but mutual slaughter.

Kali’s entertainment, or rather her purpose for descending to the lower realm, is precisely the struggle itself.

For this, she would go to any lengths to touch the darkness, to touch the forbidden, in some respects she is quite similar to Ishtar.

Thus, the two clans got along well and embarked on a series of collaborations.

Originally, they should not have appeared here, but rather were preparing in the shadows to defeat the Freyja Clan.

However, due to the actions of the Loki Clan, following the conquest of the elfin avatar on the 59th floor, the underground forces led by the City Destroyer (Enyo) had to make arrangements for the imminent enemy.

Thanks to this, Ishtar and Kali were both invited here to aid the underground forces.

Kali had no objections to this matter, after all, she was quite eager to see Theona, Theone, Alcana, and Bajie, the twin sisters, perform their ceremony, so she cooperated actively.

Ishtar, however, was different.

Her target was not the Loki Clan, nor was she interested in the underground forces’ purpose or the Kali Clan’s preferences.

She only wanted to defeat the Freyja Clan, to defeat that hateful Beauty God.

If her clan were to fall here, at the hands of the Loki Clan, affecting the battle against the Freyja Clan, she would surely fly into a rage.

Feeling the wrath of the Beauty God, Thanatos quickly raised his hands in a gesture of surrender.

"Alright, alright, though the situation seems grim now, it’s still too early to call it a loss." Thanatos pointed to this maze, saying, "Once they enter this maze, their fate is sealed."

"Everything here is under our control."

"We still have many means yet to be utilized."

"This is just the appetizer; if needed, our descendant of divine craftsmen will turn this maze into a demon’s lair and send the Loki Clan to Heaven."

"Besides..."

Thanatos looked at Ishtar with a meaningful smile.

"Don’t you still have the ’Sky Bull’ on your side?"

Upon hearing this, before Ishtar could say anything, Kali spoke first.

"Are you referring to the one kept underground?" Kali squinted her eyes, smiling, "I saw that too, quite incredible, to think such a ferocious entity exists in the lower realm, is that what you call ’unknown’?"

"Pardon us, pardon us," Thanatos said with a sly smile, "That is one of our masterpieces, and also our greatest weapon at hand. If we didn’t truly require financial support, the City Destroyer (Enyo) would never agree to let us hand that over, right?"

Listening to Thanatos, Ishtar suddenly spoke.

"Then release the ’Sky Bull.’" Ishtar decisively said, "I want to see its power as well."

"...Are you sure?" Thanatos was silent for a moment before speaking, "It’s best not to use that casually, you know?"

"Are you joking with me?" Ishtar sneered, "Do you know how much money I’ve invested in you guys? And why did I spend so much money?"

"It’s all for power."

"For this, you’ve already sold that to me, and now it’s mine."

"Since it’s mine, I’ll use it as I see fit."

Ishtar had also seen the ’Sky Bull’ itself.

To be honest, she was quite satisfied, extremely satisfied with it.

With that, the Freyja Clan wouldn’t stand a chance; that was Ishtar’s first thought upon seeing the ’Sky Bull.’

The reason she appeared here was to verify the status of the ’Sky Bull’ and to prepare to test its capabilities before the battle with the Freyja Clan.

"Alright, alright."

Thanatos once again made a gesture of surrender.

"So, which side should we send it to?"

The Loki Familia had already split into two factions.

One faction was on Reiger’s side, engaging in battle with monsters, the Istar Clan, and other forces like the Kali Familia.

The other faction was on Finn’s side, where they had also encountered the forces sent by the dark faction and were currently targeted, with the situation being much more severe than on Reiger’s side.

However, neither side was close to defeating the Loki Familia.

Therefore, as long as the ’Sky Bull’ was sent to either side, the battle there would undergo a decisive change.

And Ishtar had no hesitation.

"Of course, this side."

Pointing to one of the two interfaces on the water screen, Ishtar’s merciless voice echoed.

"Let’s start killing them."

Hearing this, Thanatos looked to the side.

"That’s what they said, okay? There’s no problem, right, Baka?"

In the direction Thanatos turned, a gloomy man who earlier had been livid because Reiger had destroyed the hardest metal door broke the silence.

"Let’s finish this quickly."

The descendant of the god craftsman named Baka said expressionlessly.

"I still need to continue constructing this labyrinth, there’s no time to waste on these uninvited guests."

Saying that, Baka stepped forward and began operating the pedestal.

On the water screen, the battlefield in one of the interfaces suddenly underwent an astonishing change.

...

"Slash!"

When the crystal sword enshrouded by wind sliced through the red-haired female monster’s body, its astonishing sharpness effortlessly pierced through the tough hide, causing blood to splatter.

"Slash!" "Slash!" "Slash!" "Slash!" "Slash!"...

A whirlwind roamed around the red-haired female monster, moving at astonishing speed, creating gusts of wind while rapidly attacking, sending countless swords’ light flying, each striking the female monster’s body, carving her up with sharp blades and incessantly wounding her.

"Ahhhhhhhhh...!"

Reveis had no choice but to use the pitch-black greatsword to block the critical attacks, while the rest of her body inevitably received a series of slashes that left her covered in wounds, crying out incessantly.

Reiger, wrapped in wind, calmly made a declaration.

"Alright, it’s time to end this."
